nlin had already gotten her some food.She was experiencing severe morning sickness, unable to eat. But in order to maintain her energy, she forced herself to take a few bites and then couldn't help bu...He paused, his gaze fixed on the glowing ember at the end of his cigarette, and said in a hushed voice, “I didn’t know Lu Youguang had been bullying you behind your back.”

He agreed to be Qin Li's boyfriend, but only because of a promise and the excitement after Fu Yan confessed to Huo Yuan. If he had cared about Qin Li even a little more, he would have known what Lu Youguang had done to her, those beastly acts.

It's a pity he doesn't.

He only agreed to publicly acknowledge her as his girlfriend, but he never had feelings for her beyond friendship.

The Huo family owes her a debt, though not directly responsible for her tragedy, they left a deep mark on it.

Li Qin's nasal cavity felt sour, but she couldn't shed a single tear. Hearing Lu Youguang's name, she felt like a dying fish struggling and about to be dried out, "Don't mention him in front of me!"

So he knew all along.

It turned out that Huo Mingzheng had always known she was trying her best to hide things from him. It turned out he knew everything all along.

What a irony!

"How did you know"

Because of Xiaoxing.

Li Qin's gaze suddenly stopped.

“It was by chance that I noticed Xiaoxing looked like you. According to the timeline, it was around the time you left Nancheng. I had a DNA comparison done between you and Xiaoxing, and she is your child.”

That was the weekend after paying for Yan's birthday, he went to the orphanage to give things to the children, and paying for Yan also went. In fact, he knew that paying for Yan would go.

That was his first time getting close to Xiaoxing. Later, Li Qin returned to China, and from a certain angle, he noticed that Li Qin and Xiaoxing had a very high degree of facial resemblance.

Furthermore, because Li Qin had left Nancheng so abruptly back then, he hadn't paid much attention to it. It wasn't until this time that he remembered and asked Cao Fang to investigate.

Li Qin suddenly slid off the sofa and knelt on the ground, shards of glass cutting into her hands, but she didn't feel a thing. Shame washed over her like a tidal wave, for Huo Mingzheng had personally brought those filthy past events back before her eyes.

She was wrong.

He wasn't killing her physically, he was breaking her heart. The more she cared about something, the more indifferent he became, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

Have you ever liked me, even just a little bit

"No."

Almost seamless response.

He had never liked Li Qin. Back then, the only reason he was able to get out of his predicament with her help was because her voice was almost identical to Xiao Wen's.

He promised Li Qin three wishes, as an attempt to compensate Xiao Wen from the bottom of his heart.

Because Xiao Wen died in his place.

Huo Mingzheng got up from the sofa and snuffed out his cigarette. "In this world, the person who loves you the most and cares about you the most is Qi Ce, but unfortunately he's already dead."

He took a sealed bag from Cao Yuan's hand and dropped it on the ground in front of Li Qin.

That thing crashed to the ground with a gurgling sound. Li Qin's blurry vision saw that it was a bottle of perfume, very familiar, really familiar.

是......

She bought that bottle of perfume for Qi Ce.

Huo Mingzheng, seeing her expression of utter despair, turned and left, dropping a final sentence.

Your stubbornness not only harms yourself, but also Qice.

"Actually, before anyone could make a move, Qi Ce was already dead. He died while trying to retrieve a perfume bottle that fell into the water. He lost his footing and fell in. He got caught by a fishing net around his legs and drowned."wer her phone calls.Will she really be able to marry him successfullyShe hurriedly asked Qi Ce, "Have the people you sent found out where Fu Yan went"Qi Ce took the sandalwood comb and carefully combe...
