When Chen Qiye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Jiao Yuyan's pretty face turned red, but she mustered up her courage again and said, "Tonight, I want to accompany you."
Chen Qiye smiled and said, "Aren't you already accompanying me?"
Jiao Yuyan glared at Chen Qiye and thought: How could there be such a stupid person in the world?
Without further words, Jiao Yuyan also sat on the sofa.
Unicorn Xiaobai, who was dozing in the corner, suddenly trembled and felt a problem. He... seemed like he shouldn't be here.
Otherwise, if you accidentally see the host and hostess... well, you'd better leave first!
Thinking about it, Unicorn Xiaobai slipped away from the window while Jiao Yuyan wasn't paying attention.
My life is at stake!
Jiao Yuyan leaned on Chen Qiye's shoulder and said nothing, and Chen Qiye also said nothing.
After a while, Chen Qiye said: "You also know that Yu Ruo is not dead, right?"
Jiao Yuyan, who was leaning on Chen Qiye's shoulder, trembled slightly when he heard this and said nothing.
Chen Qiye did not ask further questions or speak again.
After a while, Jiao Yuyan said: "I don't know either, but my sister did not die in childbirth."
Chen Qiye still said nothing, waiting for Jiao Yuyan to continue speaking.
"When my sister gave birth to Nian Nian and recovered, she found me and asked me to help take care of Nian Nian. She said she wanted to find you and come back. No matter where you are, she must find you."
"My sister went to Donghai City, Lingnan Province, and Jiangdong Province, and searched almost all the places she could find. Except for going abroad, during those few months, she occasionally called me to tell me that she was safe."
"Then one day, she called me and told me that she was going to a far away place and might not be able to come back. If she hadn't come back after a year, it meant she was dead."
"If you come back, don't tell you the truth. Just say that she died in childbirth when Nian Nian was born."
After saying that, Jiao Yuyan's eyes were filled with sadness and she said: "I don't know if my sister is still in this world. In the past few years, I have been sending her messages and calling her, but it has always been like nothing happened.
response."
"I think my sister may really be dead..."
While speaking, Jiao Yuyan's face was filled with tears.
She has been dependent on her sister since she was a child. Jiao Yuruo is more than just her sister and relative. Unlike ordinary relatives, she is the most important person in her life!
Even my father can't compare to my sister.
"It's hard for you to endure, isn't it?"
Chen Qiye felt a little distressed.
Jiao Yuyan could not tell anyone this secret. During the days when she did not come back, she had to take care of Niannian and pretend that nothing happened, for fear that Niannian would notice it.
Jiao Yuyan's tears burst into tears. She threw herself into Chen Qiye's arms and kept beating him, saying, "Why, why did you leave back then?"
"Even if something really happened, couldn't you tell your sister that you have to disappear like this? Do you know how much your sister misses you and how much she has paid to find you?"
"Now you are back, but where is my sister? My sister can't come back anymore!"
Jiao Yuyan vented out all the grievances and anger that had been hidden in her heart for many years.
Even when Chen Qiye came back, Jiao Yuyan had never been so hysterical. In her opinion, Chen Qiye was a scumbag. Why should Chen Qiye live in guilt all day long by telling him all this?
But somehow, over the past few days, I have developed a sense of dependence on Chen Qiye, as well as the warmth and security that the other party has given me.
So when Chen Qiye asked, she couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but tell all this.
Chen Qiye hugged Jiao Yuyan and said nothing. He knew that it was useless to say anything. The harm he had caused to the two of them could not be made up for by a few words.
When Jiao Yuyan was almost done crying, she broke away from Chen Qiye's arms. She looked a little embarrassed at this moment, but she didn't seem to care. She just looked at Chen Qiye with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Questioning, blaming, grievance, helplessness...
Chen Qiye felt extremely distressed and comforted: "I know that what happened back then was my fault. I won't explain anything, but I will take good care of you and Nian Nian."
"Of course, I will bring Yu Ruo back safely."
Jiao Yuyan looked at Chen Qiye, initially disbelieving him, but the look in his eyes did not lie.
"You, you mean, my sister is still alive?!"
There was a hint of disbelief in Jiao Yuyan's tone.
Of course she hopes that her sister is still alive, but after so many years, there is no news about Jiao Yuruo, and she cannot contact her. Anyone would think that Jiao Yuruo is no longer alive.
So after hearing Chen Qiye's words, Jiao Yuyan's first reaction was shock.
After experiencing too many disappointments, she once told herself the same thing, but time passed day by day, but there was no news about her sister.
After being disappointed, Jiao Yuyan couldn't believe it anymore.
She was afraid that if she had any more hope, she would be disappointed.
Chen Qiye nodded and said: "Yes, your sister is still alive!"
"Then where is my sister? Why doesn't she come back? Is she in any danger?"
Chen Qiye shook his head and said: "I don't know this either. I only know that Yu Ruo is still alive. I don't know where she is or what her situation is."
Jiao Yuyan's newly raised hope was extinguished by Chen Qiye's words like cold water.
"Then please stop comforting me and stop lying to me, okay?"
Jiao Yuyan was really afraid of suffering this kind of disappointment again.
Chen Qiye said seriously: "I'm not lying to you. If Yu is really alive, give me some time and I will definitely find her. Trust me, okay?"
Jiao Yuyan said nothing.
She also wanted to believe Chen Qiye, but how could she believe what he said?
Chen Qiye said no more, and would slowly explain to Jiao Yuyan later about his identity, strength, and the years he had been missing.
Originally, he didn't want to tell Jiao Yuyan because he didn't want to bring her too much unrest, but now that there are Qigong practitioners on the earth, he can no longer hide this matter from her.
In case something happens in the future, Jiao Yuyan will not be able to accept it for a while.
"Stay with me, can you?" Chen Qiye looked at Jiao Yuyan and said.
Somehow, Chen Qiye's heart suddenly felt empty, and Jiao Yuyan's sadness made him feel depressed.
Jiao Yuyan didn't speak, but she didn't leave either. The two of them just sat on the sofa. The night sky outside the window was dotted with stars. The two of them looked at the stars without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qiye saw Jiao Yuyan sleeping on his shoulder, carefully picked him up and put him on the bed.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiao Yuyan grabbed Chen Qiye's hand.
"Don't leave, stay with me."
Chen Qiye nodded and said: "Okay, I won't leave, I will stay with you."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jiao Yuyan held Chen Qiye's hand and slept on the small bed on the other side. Looking at the two people, Chen Qiye felt that this was the person he wanted to protect.
This night was very peaceful and comfortable for Chen Qiye. Watching Jiao Yuyan slowly fall asleep completely, he felt relieved.
But this night was not peaceful for the Chen family in Yanjing and the Sixth Department of Security.
It was as if someone had torn a hole in the night.
