Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Cang Yan chased downstairs, but there was no sign of Shen Qin. The night was dark, and the crowds of people were everywhere. The noisy and joyous New Year made him feel even more lonely.

His face turned cold, Cang Yan looked up, and saw snow falling from the sky. Fine and fluffy snowflakes were dancing in the air. There was a lot of noise around him, and the New Year's auspicious snow complemented each other, adding to the romance and beauty.

Passersby joyfully welcomed the gift from heaven, but Cang Yan had a dull look in his eyes, and the lonely and cold atmosphere was out of tune with the surroundings.

If his confession had been successful, if there hadn't been that video, if there hadn't been Xue Fugui, he would have been holding Shen Qin in his arms right now, perhaps leaning against each other and admiring the falling snow. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world; a tear rolled down, and the snowflakes vanished without a trace.

Cang Yan chased Shen Qin to his rental apartment, but as expected, it was dark and deserted. Shen Qin didn't go back, and he knew Cang Yan would definitely go back to the apartment to wait for him. Not wanting to get entangled, he found a hotel to stay temporarily.

Shen Qin stayed for a few days and had to go back. As he approached his home, the light in the stairwell suddenly turned on with the sound of footsteps, illuminating a dejected figure at the door.

Shen Qin sighed silently. How many days had he been squatting there? Not surprising. It would be strange if this person could really part ways amicably.

Cang Yan raised his head, his vision was a little blurry. He hadn't slept well for several nights. Finally, when someone came, he stood up suddenly, his knees were numb, he staggered, and finally managed to stand up on the second try.

"Shen, Shen Qin..." If Cang Yan had a mirror at this moment, he would be able to see how pitiful he looked, like a large dog abandoned by its owner.

In fact, Shen Qin was not in much better condition. His face was pale and he looked very thin. He was only a breath away from being a zombie.

Shen Qin opened the door and said, "Come in."

He knew Cang Yan wouldn't leave easily, and he didn't want to argue with him in the stairwell. He knew Cang Yan had a lot to say, and even if he was on death row, he had to give him the chance to leave his last words.

This is a necessary process. Human emotions are the most wonderful. They are invisible and intangible, clearly formless and intangible, yet they are intricately connected and cannot be easily severed with a few words.

Whatever Cang Yan had to say, he had to let him finish. While the outcome wouldn't change, the process couldn't be skipped. He had to let Cang Yan walk the path to despair and despair.

When Cang Yan heard the words "Come in", he was overjoyed. Shen Qin didn't drive him away or glare at him, but invited him in. Does this mean that there is still room for improvement?

But when he actually walked in, he was illuminated by the sudden light from inside the door, and he felt completely chilled in an instant.

wrong!

The calmer Shen Qin was, the more panicked Cang Yan became.

If Shen Qin had really yelled and yelled, scolded him angrily, or even beaten him, it would have shown that there was still room for improvement in their relationship. As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, and it is precisely this kind of stagnant calm that is the sign of a dead end.

There is love and there is hate. If Shen Qin has completely abandoned him in the past and her heart is no longer moved by him, then there is no hope at all.

"Shen Qin, please listen to my explanation..." Cang Yan's heart was beating like a drum, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

Shen Qin filled the water and put it on the stove to boil, then pulled out a chair and sat down, "Just say whatever you want to say."

He looked at Cang Yan with a calm gaze, without sadness or joy, without any ripples or waves, without any human emotion. This deep and unfathomable gaze, without a trace of emotion, made Cang Yan's heart ache.

"Shen Qin, I..." Cang Yan suddenly felt the panic and sorrow of a condemned man crying out for justice but ultimately unable to escape the knife. Even before he could say anything, it felt as if nothing he said could change the fate. The look in Shen Qin's eyes at that moment filled him with despair.

"Don't worry, you have plenty of time to organize your words. Think it over before you speak." Shen Qin's words sounded considerate, but in reality they were cold. The subtext: I'll listen to your quibbling, but no matter how you quibble, it's futile.

Cang Yan began to sweat again, with beads of cold sweat pouring out, which was particularly unbearable in this cold winter night.

"I do not know."

After planning and organizing for so long, you only come up with this? Shen Qin frowned.

Cang Yan abandoned the chair and rushed forward, kneeling on one knee, with his palm on Shen Qin's leg, as if proposing marriage, pouring out his heart and being humble. He looked up at Shen Qin, his eyes were so sincere and genuine, "I don't know." It was the same sentence again.

"Shen Qin, believe me, I really don't know anything about the Shen family. Yes, that video is real, and I said those nonsense. But I was drunk at the time, and I don't even remember what I said.

If Xue hadn't come to my house, I wouldn't have known what I said, or that it was recorded on video. That day, I didn't even know Xue was there, how could he be there?

I have no connection with him at all. I had no idea what he did behind my back until he showed up at my door, and then I…"

Cang Yan hung his head, also like a victim, "You have to believe me, Shen Qin, you have to believe me! It wasn't me, no, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't, I didn't plan it, I really don't know, you have to believe me, Shen Qin!"

If Cang Yan had said this on New Year's Eve, Shen Qin might have believed it. However, several days and nights had passed, and Cang Yan was no longer caught off guard. He had plenty of time to think, so how credible was his words?

Even if Xue Fugui and Cang Yan are related, if he does not have the instructions from his master, and just based on a few words he heard from a drunken conversation, how can such a motive be justified?

"Your father, you know?"

Cang Yan was speechless, and the blood color faded away again. He raised his desperate eyes and met Shen Qin's cold gaze.

The pine trees are the key.

Xue Fugui's actions were instructed by Cangsong, so no matter whether Cang Yan knew about it or not, the Cang family could not escape this debt.

Even if Cang Yan could cut ties with Xue Fugui, how could he cut ties with his own father? Cang Song nodded. The Shen family was destroyed, Shen's father's leg was broken, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a blood feud. Even if Cang Yan was truly innocent, this hatred could not be resolved.

This was the reason why Cang Yan was unable to scold Xue Fugui and beat him to death at that time. It was only when he learned that his scumbag father was involved that Cang Yan was so painful and terrified.

"Shen Qin, I..." Cang Yan still wanted to try to save something, but no matter how eloquent he was, he was at a loss for words at this moment.

"Let me explain." Shen Qin slowly counterattacked, "Initially, you were the one who spoke out of turn after drinking. Even if you were the one who spoke out of turn, Xue Fugui wanted to curry favor with you and then asked your father for permission. After receiving his permission, he began to act.

You, Xue Fugui, and your father, the three of you twisted into a sharp arrow, piercing the heart of the Shen family with precision. None of you can be missing. So you see, even if you really just made a slip of the tongue, you can't claim to be innocent. Cang Yan, can you still say you are innocent?

"No, it's not like this, it's not like this!" Tears rolled down his cheeks. In his despair, Cang Yan clung to Shen Qin tightly, clinging to his only hope of survival. "It's not me. I didn't. I didn't intend to harm the Shen family. How could I harm the Shen family? How could I harm you?"

"I've already taken the consequences, and now you, the one who started it, want to clear yourself of all responsibility. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

"Shen Qin..."

"Don't say anything." Shen Qin raised her hand to stop him. "Cang Yan, considering you saved me, considering the days we spent together that can't be returned, I'm willing to believe that you really just slipped your words. I'm willing to believe that you, the instigator, are just a butterfly flapping its wings, and that you have no evil intentions to cause the storm. I'm willing to believe you, even though there's a high chance I'm wrong."

Cang Yan's face was as pale as paper, and he was shaky, like a death row prisoner waiting for the final trial.

Shen Qin's tone suddenly became cold, like ice and snow. "But even if you just flapped your wings, even if you had no evil intentions, the storm was still caused by you. So, Cang Yan, everything ends here, and you and I can never go back!"
