"I do not know."

She said honestly.

Shen Rao's thin lips pulled out a dejected smile, with a look of "as expected", and bitterness overflowed from his throat.

"Then don't say that...anything is fine, don't lie to me about this."

His irregular heartbeat turned cold, the corners of his eyes turned red, and bitterness welled up in his eyes.

Qi Yan also felt a little stuffy in his chest, so he pressed his finger bones. When Shen Rao was about to get up and walk back, he grabbed him and said anxiously.

"Teach me."

"what?"

Shen Rao's lips trembled and he spoke dryly.

"I don't know what love is. Please teach me. I learn things quickly."

Qi Yan looked at him, her heart and eyes full of sincerity.

The Qi family only taught her responsibility. No one ever talked about love in front of her, so she herself couldn't figure it out.

I can't quite understand what I'm reading or watching TV series.

So she asked humbly.

She held Shen Rao's hand, pressed it tightly against her lips, and looked at him with lowered eyes.

"You are with me, I want to give you the best. If you want love, I can learn it. Don't be unhappy."

"..."

Shen Rao exhaled and held her tightly.

He had only one thought at this moment.

She must not let Qi Yan go. She could only say these words to him and learn to love him.

She said these words to you with such sincerity that no one could help but be moved, and his heart almost beat to death.

But it is also difficult for Shen Rao to say what love is.

He only knew that he couldn't survive without Qi Yan, and this idea was obviously not suitable for Qi Yan.

He didn't want Qi Yan to die for him, nor did he want her to be sad for him, but the thought of this possibility made him feel heartbroken.

Think about it.

Shen Rao found that it was better if Qi Yan didn't love him...

When this thought came to his mind, he felt that he was sick.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally spoke.

"You don't have to love me, just me by your side."

Don't even prepare a surprise, don't pay too much attention to him.

But he was actually greedy and had low self-esteem, with his head hung and his other hand clenched into a fist. It was obvious at a glance that he was not speaking the truth.

Qi Yan looked at him who was saying one thing and thinking another, and slowly let go of his hand.

"That's it."

"Ah."

He replied in a muffled voice.

He tightened his free hand and his eyes fell on Qi Yan's profile. Her expression was normal and there was no sign of any unusual emotion.

He looked away somewhat dejectedly. In front of Qi Yan, he was sensitive and awkward, timid and cowardly.

I don't dare to ask for too much, and I don't even dare to think about her love...

The two of them were silent all the way.

When they arrived at the villa, Shen Rao had already dressed himself and was about to get out of the car holding Rose.

Qi Yan helped him open the car door, took the gift box and roses, turned and walked into the villa, and never looked at him from beginning to end.

Shen Rao looked at her steady steps from behind and stood there in a daze.

Next.

After Qi Yan handed the roses and watch to the servants to sort out, she went up to the study on the second floor. Xiao Ai brought her dinner.

She and Xiao Ran exchanged glances as they watched Shen Rao, who had been stirring the pork rib soup in the bowl for half an hour but hadn't drunk a single sip.

Is this a quarrel?

They didn't dare to ask and just went about their own business.

Shen Rao had no appetite for dinner and didn't eat much.

In the living room, during a cross-border video conference, he was also absent-minded, and his eyes would occasionally drift to the quiet second floor.

Normally he felt that time passed very quickly, but now that Qi Yan was not around, he felt that every second was like a year.

After processing the meeting summary.

He came out of the bathroom in his pajamas, wiping his wet hair. He glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was the time Qi Yan usually put him in to bed.

However, the room was still empty. He clenched the towel in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his heart was so heavy that it ached.

ten minutes later.

Shen Rao stood at the door of the study, hesitated for a long time, and then knocked three times.

"Come in."

Qingyue's voice sounded.

He took a breath, turned the doorknob and went in.

There was a warm light on in the study, piles of files were scattered on the table, the computer was also on, and Qi Yan was standing in front of the window, talking on the phone to someone unknown.

Qi Yan just glanced at him and then looked away.

"Uncle, if there's nothing else, just hang up."

"and many more!"

Mu Yuan on the other side of the microphone said quickly.

"Fu Xuhe said he wanted to see you."

"……I see."

Qi Yan was silent for a while before responding.

"You want to meet?"

Mu Yuan was unsure.

"Why not?"

She asked back with a smile.

"...Okay, I'll arrange it then."

Since Qi Yan said so, Mu Yuan didn't say much.

After all, they are Fu Qingxuan's family. Over the years, he has deliberately ignored some of the Fu family's behaviors.

I didn't expect that they were so confused. Not only did they offend Qi Yan, but they also broke the law knowingly.

It deserves to fall.

The phone hangs up.

Qi Yan put his phone on the table, sat back in his office chair, picked up one of the stacks of papers, and spoke without even raising his head.

"It's late, you should go to bed first."

Shen Rao paused as he was about to come over, "You won't sleep with me?"

"There are still some things to deal with. I'm sleeping in the study today. The glass in the master bedroom has been repaired. You can move back anytime."

Qi Yan flipped through the information quickly.

"..."

Shen Rao looked at her indifferent expression, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

Seeing him standing there without moving for a long time, she raised her head in the midst of her busy schedule.

"Anything else?"

"……there is none left."

"Then go back to bed. It's getting late. Don't stay up late."

Say it.

She dropped her eyes again and picked up another bag of confidential documents.

Shen Rao walked out of the study stiffly, twisted his fingers, and returned to his room.

He lay on the big bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. There was no one around him, and his heart felt empty too.

He hugged the quilt tightly and buried his head in it. His thin lips were bitten red. His back was bent and he huddled into a circle, which was an extremely insecure posture.

Less than half an hour.

Qi Yan heard heavy and quick footsteps coming from outside.

'Snapped--'

Then the study door was pushed open violently.

Shen Rao was in a mess. He strode to Qi Yan, lowering his dark pupils. His messy hair matched his handsome features, giving him an indescribable sense of decadent beauty.

Qi Yan still held the pen in his hand and looked at him puzzledly.

"Is something wrong?"

"You, are you angry?"

Shen Rao pinched his arm and asked her nervously

"No."

Qi Yan turned back and said lightly.

"…Then why are you ignoring me? And why aren't you kissing me anymore?"

Shen Rao leaned on the armrest of the chair, arched his back, his eyes were red, his black pupils were covered with a layer of mist, and he asked with grievance.

this time.

Qi Yan would kiss him goodnight every day, but not today. She would also eat with him, but not today...

Hearing the voice, Qi Yan turned his head to look at him and said curiously.

"Is this not what you want?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Rao was puzzled.

When did he want her to give him the cold shoulder?

Qi Yan put on the pen cap, looked at him with her clear eyes, and said seriously.

"I read in a book that these are things you do with your lover. Since you don't need me to love you, I respect your thoughts. I don't have to do these things. Isn't it fine as long as I don't leave you?"
