Make your ex-boyfriend cry? That's easy!

"Isn't this also beyond my control? I have no choice."

Jiang Yan's face was filled with bitterness, and he gave Lu Qinian a helpless smile. This smile was filled with self-mockery and helplessness, as if he was under tremendous pressure but couldn't express it.

Lu Qinian stood straight, looking down at Jiang Yan in front of him, his eyes cold and sharp, like a cold blade piercing people's hearts.

He asked coldly, "Then tell me, what are your difficulties?"

Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, his lips moved, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.

In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but he really can’t say it.

Ever since he regained his memory, he remembered the hint that the Federation had given him.

That hint was deeply imprinted in his memory like a curse. As long as it existed in Jiang Yan's memory, Jiang Yan would never be able to tell Lu Qinian about his life experience.

Jiang Yan raised his head and looked at Lu Qinian. His eyes were extremely serious, even with a hint of earnestness.

"I've never actually done anything against the Empire, Admiral Lu."

However, his words sounded so pale and powerless to Lu Qinian.

Lu Qinian shook his head: "Words are not enough. Do you think you can make me believe you with just a few empty words?"

"What's more, I've caught you sneaking in and out of my office more than once. Who would believe me if I said there wasn't something fishy going on? Also, the Federation has been invading repeatedly. If I said you had nothing to do with it, even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it!"

After saying these words, Lu Qinian slowly closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see Jiang Yan's face that made him feel complicated.

His voice was low and suppressed, revealing his inner entanglement and struggle.

"Jiang Yan, how can I trust you? How can I trust you?! What on earth should I do with you..."

Faced with Lu Qinian's questioning and suspicion, Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to explain something, but all the words were stuck in his throat and turned into a heavy sigh.

He clearly had unspeakable difficulties in his heart, and he was clearly so innocent, but he couldn't say them out loud.

No matter how hard he tried, those words seemed to be trapped deep in his throat by an invisible force, forcing him to remain silent.

He opened his mouth, trying to make a sound to explain everything, but in the end it was all in vain. Faced with the situation before him, he felt extremely helpless and powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as every word of Lu Qinian was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart mercilessly.

Each word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, striking his fragile heart again and again until it was pierced with blood and riddled with holes.

The pain penetrated deep into his bones and soul, almost suffocating him.

At this moment, the spiritual body Silver Leopard who had been accompanying him keenly sensed the pain and sadness in his master's heart.

It walked gently to Jiang Yan's side and rubbed Jiang Yan's trouser legs affectionately with its soft body, as if it wanted to give its owner some warmth and comfort in its own way.

Jiang Yan lowered his head slightly, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the big cat's furry head, feeling the warmth from his palm. After a moment, he slowly turned his head and looked out the window.

In the distance, on the military training ground, energetic and agile imperial soldiers were training enthusiastically.

They shouted loud slogans, marched in neat and powerful steps, sweated, and showed endless passion and fighting spirit.
