I was terrified looking at the inexplicable smile on his face, and he had already grabbed my wrist before I could escape.
Immediately after that, he sneered and said in a particularly cold voice, “You’re leaving? To meet who?”
There was no moon or stars tonight, and the atmosphere around him felt especially eerie.
“No, I just came out to take a breather.” I pretended to be calm, but the hand on my side was already shaking nonstop.
I didn’t care what he had done to me, but I was just afraid that he would harm my baby.
I had thought that my words would enrage him again.
However, he only let out a chuckle before holding my hand gently and then walked back to the room.
Seeing that he didn’t have any intention of leaving, I felt my chest tighten again.
“Be good and don’t come out in the middle of the night again.” He caressed my face and warned me in a seemingly earnest tone.
But before I could answer, he grabbed my neck the next second, and his handsome face was twisted by unprecedented anger, “Because there could be grave consequences if you don’t behave obediently!”
In the end, I could no longer put up with his unpredictable mood swings, and I flew into a rage after being choked by him.
While making sure that my strength couldn’t hurt the baby, I kicked and hit Quan Jinnian continuously until he finally let go.
I didn’t bother to rest and simply shouted at him after taking a few breaths, “What exactly do you want?”
Perhaps because he saw that I was angry, Quan Jinnian soon put on his warm smile again.
Without bothering about my question, he leaned on the chair at the side and looked at me with a smile, “You wanted to escape to meet Quan Shaoze just now, am I right?”
I suddenly froze, not knowing what to say.
No matter how hard I tried to deny it, I couldn’t deceive myself.
The first place I had thought of going to after leaving here was indeed Quan Shaoze’s house.
Seeing me not talking for a long while, Quan Jinnian smiled and took me to sit at the table before pretending to ask me why I hadn’t thought of Zhao Dong.
I might still feel a little disturbed when I thought of Zhao Dong again, but I would never have any more feelings for him.
I looked away coldly, unwilling to answer his question.
I only felt disgust towards Zhao Dong now.
He had been so shameless to sacrifice marriage for his own benefits; there was no one more disgusting than him.
But I didn’t expect what Quan Jinnian said next would make me feel even more disgusted.
Perhaps because he received no reply from me, Quan Jinnian smiled at himself and then looked at me, “It seems you really like that silly brother of mine, otherwise, you wouldn’t have gotten over Zhao Dong so quickly.”
He spoke of the feelings that I had deliberately ignored, making my mind all tensed up at once. However, I also immediately paid more attention to the contempt he had towards Quan Shaoze on his face.
I had mixed feelings especially when I saw that Quan Jinnian really didn’t care about Quan Shaoze. I stared at Quan Jinnian for a while without saying anything.
I didn’t expect that Quan Shaoze’s brother, whom he attached so much importance to, actually treated him this way.
This was something that I really didn’t expect.
I quickly regained my composure and asked him again what he wanted, but he ignored me, as if he was merely mumbling to himself.
After a long time, he seemed to have talked enough, and he looked at me smilingly again, “Did you know that the deal he had with you many years ago was made according to my will?
