After talking, Quan Jinnian simply walked away, leaving me alone in the room feeling terrified.
It was without doubt that he was going after Quan Shaoze.
I panicked and wanted to tell Quan Shaoze about this, but I couldn’t find a chance to leave.
The next day, Quan Jinnian asked me to go downstairs with him for breakfast, but I didn’t have the appetite because of what had happened the night before.
Or it was simply because I didn’t want to have dinner with him in the first place.
I gave an excuse of not feeling well and rejected him straightaway. Unexpectedly, he flared up sooner than the previous times.
It was only when I felt dizzy after being slapped by him that I slowly came back to my senses.
I was also enraged, and I glared at him, “You!”
I was fed up!
If it wasn’t for the child and the hope to escape sooner, I would definitely put up a desperate fight.
Although I was so angry that I almost couldn’t talk, I maintained my rationality, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed my anger before going downstairs to eat with him.
I could only endure in order to leave!
But as long as we were at the same table, I couldn’t hold back my anger.
In order to suppress this anger, I had been grabbing the chopsticks tightly to prevent myself from throwing them at Quan Jinnian’s face.
At this moment, Quan Jinnian sat next to me, and the maid quickly moved the tableware over when she saw his move.
I was so disgusted with him that I didn’t pay attention to him and just concentrated on my food.
“I’m sorry, I mean to do that just now.” He suddenly took my hand that was holding the chopsticks, leaned towards me and whispered in my ear.
His hot breath gave me goosebumps straight away, and I felt really disgusted.
There was no way I could continue to ignore him.
“It’s okay.” I quietly moved my hand away from him on the pretext of picking the food with the chopsticks.
Although I looked calm, I was all tensed up and afraid that he would flare up again the next moment.
Fortunately, he didn’t say anything else but just nodded in satisfaction and put food into my bowl with a smile on his face.
I had wanted to eat quickly so that I could leave, but now I had to force myself to go on with it.
After all, I wasn’t his match and I could only resign to my fate.
I saw from the corner of my eye that the smile on Quan Jinnian’s face was particularly warm, but his eyes were equally grim. I couldn’t clear up the mess in my mind.
Why did he become this kind of person?
After the meal, he finally left, and I quickly returned to the room where I could finally relax my vigilance.
Fortunately, Quan Jinnian didn’t force me to eat with him again for today’s lunch and dinner, and I finally felt at ease.
However, when I was planning to go downstairs to pour a glass of milk after finishing my dinner in the room, I heard Quan Jinnian’s conversation with his subordinate, so I stopped to listen.
This time, his subordinate looked like he came to report on a mission, and the two were discussing on the sofa downstairs.
Because it was very quiet at night, I could hear their conversation just by opening the door slightly.
“Mr. Quan, your younger brother is still searching for the chip in the sea every day. If this goes on, I’m afraid that he will soon find out about you faking Miss Lin Feng’s death.”
I had just adjusted my posture and squatted at the door when I heard about the worry of Quan Jinnian’s subordinate, and I froze on the spot.
Quan Jinnian had used the chip to fake my death!?
And Quan Shaoze actually hadn’t given up on looking for me?!
The shock I felt made me no longer want to listen to what they said next.
At the thought that Quan Shaoze actually cared about me, the sadness and grievances that I had been suppressing for days turned into tears and rolled down my cheeks.
