Chapter 889: Chapter 889 Betrayal (6) Chapter 889: Chapter 889 Betrayal (6) “Let’s go.”
Ning Yanan had been facing away from everyone until she heard that command. Her body jolted violently.
The fist she clutched had never relaxed, her nails digging into her palm, creating a bloody, blurred ss.
Blood slowly seeped through her fingers and trickled out.
It wasn’t until there were no more sounds behind her that she moved her leaden legs and turned around.
Her beautiful face was already bathed in tears.
Looking in the direction where Jiang Jinchen had been taken away, she collapsed to the ground with a thud, sobbing loudly.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
And what I never told you is, I love you.
After the commotion, the dock was left in utter silence.
The sea breeze gently brushed by, leaving only a chilling cold.
Ning Yanan didn’t know how long she had sat there, her tears had long dried on her face, her eyes staring blankly ahead.
Only when footsteps reached her ears did she slowly turn her head.
What she saw was a man’s face, its deep features exuding a hint of ruthlessness.
Clad in black, his young and robust figure was enveloped by the darkness, his boots engraved with a unique pattern, each step he took was filled with absolute power.
The man glanced ahead, then strode toward Ning Yanan, offering her a tissue.
“Wipe your face, you being this disheveled really isn’t like you.”
“…”
Ning Yanan didn’t take it, instead lifting her gaze to the man’s familiar face.
Her eyes unfocused.
“One day he’ll understand that you did it for his own good; your mission isn’t complete. If he stayed by your side, it would only be a matter of ti before trouble found him.”
“…”
Ning Yanan’s body shook, she pushed away the tissue in front of her, and gathering the loss in her eyes, she shakily stood up from the ground.
She scanned the surroundings warily and in a lowered voice said, “You don’t need to remind what to do, and this isn’t the place for you to show up.”
“Indeed it isn’t, but as it happens, I was conducting a mission nearby, and by chance, I saw soone crying their heart out. It was out of kindness that I offered a tissue, a simple gesture, no need for thanks.”
The man raised his eyebrows playfully, hands tucked into his pockets.
“Busybody.”
Ning Yanan shot him a glance, reining in all her emotions, and pushed past the man blocking her way to move forward.
The mont her gaze fell on the corner where Jiang Jinchen had left, her heart wrenched painfully.
Her hand pressed against her chest, teeth clenched, she forced her steps forward.
She constantly reminded herself that what she was doing was right.
He was the young master of the Jiang Family, ant to lead a life under the spotlight, not to live on the run for the sake of a woman.
Not to ntion, he might one day face danger because of her.
She hadn’t made a mistake.
No, she hadn’t.
…
“Buzz—buzz—”
The faint vibration of the phone on the bedside table caused Dan Hanjie to quickly reach out and silence it.
He turned to glance at Qin Youxuan, who hadn’t woken but had furrowed her brows slightly, leaned down to kiss her on the forehead, waited for her expression to soften, then gently moved her head off his chest.
He got out of bed.
He reached for the robe hanging on the clothes stand, casually throwing it over his shoulders, and walked to the balcony with his phone.
Dawn was just breaking, the 8 o’clock sunlight was at its most comfortable.
Dan Hanjie looked down to see that the call had ended.
After glancing at the caller ID, he dialed back.
Listening to the call in silence, his eyes flickered slightly, reflecting a strange gleam, “I understand.”
Keeping the phone in hand, he returned to the room and carelessly placed it on the table.
He lay back down next to Qin Youxuan.
Propped up on one elbow, he gazed at her peaceful sleeping face.
