Linda clasped her fingers slightly. She couldn't stand it anymore and asked in a low voice, "Ning Xiu, you like Qianqian, right? Then why are you engaged to me?"
As soon as she asked this question, she regretted it.
The room was quiet except for the ticking sound of the clock.
Yi Ningxiu stopped modifying the file.
He raised his head and looked at her.
His eyes were calm, with a kind of inorganic indifference. Linda couldn't help but turn her head away when she looked at him like this.
Yi Ningxiu laughed in a low voice with a cold smile: "Do you really want to know?"
"No……"
Linda took a step back, faced his smile, and shook her head, "Don't..."
The courage to question him just now was gone.
Maybe she knew the reason deep down, but at this moment, she didn't dare to face it.
The happiness she wants is within easy reach. Even if it is false, she still wants to maintain it a little more... a little more...
Even if you know that this man actually loves another woman.
This is the sadness of loving someone, right?
Blind and pitiful.
Linda took a few steps back, until she reached the door. Her fingers grasped the cold handrail, and she whispered: "Ning Xiu, I'm going out."
Yi Ningxiu didn't even raise his head.
"Um."
Linda's eyes were slightly moist.
He will be engaged to her tomorrow, but he is staying up late correcting documents, as if tomorrow's wedding is just a normal job for him.
She was nervous, shy and excited alone in the room. Now that she was facing Yi Ningxiu, her excitement was like being splashed with cold water, chilling her from head to toe.
As much as she loves him, she is afraid of him.
Love makes people extremely humble.
Opening the door with trembling fingers, Linda walked out feeling aggrieved and frustrated. The large house was very quiet. She had always liked the decoration design of the Yi Mansion, but at this moment, she felt that this place was too quiet.
It's as quiet as a tomb.
She felt cold, rubbed her arms, and walked downstairs.
Mrs. Yi has not returned to her room yet. She is sitting on the sofa playing with her puppy. There are several photo albums spread out on the desk. She must have opened them just now.
As soon as Mrs. Yi looked up, she saw Linda walking down with red eyes. Judging from her appearance, it must be Yi Ningxiu who didn't give her a good look.
The child's temperament was becoming more and more unstable, which made her, a mother, feel unpredictable, let alone Linda, who had only known him for a short time.
"Madam..." Linda stood in front of Mrs. Yi and said in an aggrieved tone, "Ning Xiu doesn't like me..."
Mrs. Yi hugged Xiaoguai and followed its fur. She glanced at Linda and nodded: "I know."
This sentence made Linda cry even more sadly.
"But I like him so much..." She reached out to wipe her tears and sobbed, "Even if he has another woman in his heart, I still like him so much..."
Mrs. Yi said nothing.
Her son is so outstanding, there are so many people in the world who like him, but Linda is the only one who can get engaged to him.
When she thought about it, Linda was really lucky.
Linda had enough of crying silently on the sofa, then she stuck her head out and looked at the photo album on the coffee table.
"Madam, is this Ning Xiu?"
she asked, pointing to someone in the photo.
Mrs. Yi looked up and her eyes softened. "Yes."
Linda picked up the photo album and saw Su Qianqian standing opposite Yi Ningxiu. She opened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Sister Qianqian, did you grow up with Ning Xiu?"
