Chapter 908: Chapter 888: He’s Terrified That She Might Be Pregnant
Qiao Yongyong straightened her chest and confidently said, "He’s changed now, he’s slowly getting better to me."
"Just because he went to the bar to find you, helped the lady teach a few punks a lesson, and brought you back to the apartment to stay, the lady thinks he started being nice to you?"
Qiao Yongyong nodded.
Mike suddenly sighed, "Hasn’t the lady already with Mr. Nie..."
Qiao Yongyong, seeing that he had guessed it, didn’t hide it: "You want to say that he’s only being nice to me because he feels responsible, right? It doesn’t matter, even if that’s the case, I’m willing. Being responsible means he still has some feelings for me, I believe that over time, he’ll genuinely like me a bit."
Mike sneered, "If he wants to be responsible for the lady, that’s one thing, but the lady might be overestimating him, his kindness to you isn’t out of responsibility at all."
Qiao Yongyong’s expression shifted, her delicate brows furrowed, "I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Mike took out his phone and opened a video shot at the apartment entrance in the evening.
After learning that Qiao Yongyong had moved into Nie Yixiao’s apartment, Mike stationed himself with his subordinates at the apartment’s entrance.
When Jiayi came looking for the two of them, the subordinates also saw and recorded it promptly with a phone.
In the video, every word of the conversation between Nie Yixiao and Jiayi drifted into Qiao Yongyong’s ears.
Especially Nie Yixiao’s indifferent voice:
"...I have no feelings for her."
"I went to the bar to find her and let her stay, so you wouldn’t worry... If something happened to Qiao Yongyong, or she complained to her brother about almost being raped in Yunling, Qiao Zonghan would definitely be furious, and it would affect the Huo Qiao relationship, would you want to see that?"
Qiao Yongyong’s heart seemed to be clenched by something, skipping several beats.
So, it was all for Miss Chu in the end?
The whole city went crazy finding her, just because he was afraid something might happen to her, the Huo Qiao families would fall out, making Miss Chu upset?
Letting her stay in his apartment, treating her so well, was just to appease her, so she wouldn’t complain to her brother about almost being raped in Yunling?
So, everything, all of it, was still just for Miss Chu?
She thought he took her first time, wanted to be responsible, that’s why he treated her well.
"Miss, now you know, Mr. Nie’s so-called kindness to you, is just to make that Miss Chu happy."
Mike gritted his teeth, his tone more indignant.
Qiao Yongyong came back to herself, extinguishing the loss in her eyes, "I knew he liked Miss Chu, that’s not something I learned today."
Mike, hearing her tone, seemed like she still had hope for Nie Yixiao, got anxious: "Miss knows from the start that Mr. Nie only has Miss Chu in his heart, and is still willing to accept him?"
Qiao Yongyong clenched her fists, forcing out a self-comforting smile, "He and Miss Chu are impossible now, I believe I can warm him up."
Mike didn’t hesitate any longer, "If he really liked you, really wanted to be with you, he wouldn’t have bought you birth control pills!"
Qiao Yongyong lifted her face, staring straight at Mike.
Mike’s face darkened, "Just when I sent people to check on those punks who almost bullied you, I inadvertently discovered that Mr. Nie drove you back to the apartment last night and bought birth control pills at a pharmacy nearby. I bet when you woke up, he made you take them. Would a man who genuinely loves and wants to be with you secretly feed you birth control pills? He’s so afraid you’d get pregnant, so afraid of being responsible for you!"
Something heavy gripped Qiao Yongyong’s heart.
Yes, when she woke up, he brought her milk and forced her to drink it.
Was it the birth control pill added to that milk?
She bit down hard on her lower lip.
Two days of sweetness turned out to be fleeting self-inflicted affection.
From beginning to end, his feelings for her had never changed, he always disliked her.
Just now, upstairs, all the pink bubbles burst one by one.
She suddenly felt a bit lost, the night breeze brushing her face, only then feeling a bit cool on her cheeks.
Just then, footsteps drew closer step by step.
She lifted her head in a daze, seeing Nie Yixiao standing seven or eight steps away in front of her.
Obviously, he had heard her conversation with Mike.
In the night, Nie Yixiao stood tall like a towering figure in the evening wind, his peach blossom eyes captivating, lips elegantly thin, yet devoid of the softness in the study and added a touch of solemnity.
Qiao Yongyong, swaying her body, slowly walked over, "Is what Mike said true? You’re really only being nice to me for Miss Chu and the Huo Family, really... fed me birth control pills?"
She awaited his answer, not daring to breathe too heavily.
As long as he said no or was willing to explain, she planned to go back upstairs with him, never thinking of Mike’s words again.
Even if looked down upon, thinking she’s disgraceful, she accepted it, after all, he’s the man she chose.
He quietly stared at her, seeing her tightly clenched, slightly trembling pink fists, after a long while, "What Mike said is true."
Before Qiao Yongyong could speak, Mike couldn’t hold back, taking a few steps forward, raising his fist to hit the man:
"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to bully our Longding Society’s miss—"
"Stop!" Qiao Yongyong took a deep breath, spitting out two words with difficulty, as if using up all her strength.
Nie Yixiao always thought of her as an unkillable cockroach, able to quickly rise from his repeated blows, with a thick skin like a city wall.
But at this moment, her face showed despair.
"Actually, you don’t need to be so sad." He spoke lightly.
Since he had hurt her already, it would be better to completely distance himself from her, maybe this way her pain would lessen a bit.
She raised her head, her eyes already brimming with liquid, looking at him in confusion.
He stepped closer to her, his voice as tranquil as the night, "You once said you loved your brother very much, didn’t you?"
Mike knew what he wanted to say to the lady and was surprised, but didn’t speak.
Maybe that’s good, the lady might be shocked, but would completely give up on him.
Qiao Yongyong looked at Nie Yixiao without understanding.
"Your brother, a few years ago, was involved in an arms case, pursued by Interpol, severely injured, narrowly escaped death, survived but was left with a lingering illness, hasn’t recovered yet, and his health has been poor, is that right."
Her lashes flickered heavily, as if she had guessed a bit.
"The setup to capture your brother, I planned it. Your brother’s physical collapse was also my doing. So, in front of a person who harmed your brother, you needn’t be so sad, you should even be happy to know earlier." He said each word slowly.
Silence.
A long silence.
Qiao Yongyong clenched her palms tightly, but her back was already soaked in cold sweat.
That year, she was only thirteen, just graduated from primary school, but remembered clearly.
Because, for her, the year she almost lost her brother was a year she almost suffered a catastrophic disaster.
