Qin Zong stared blankly at the woman in front of him, they had only been apart for seven months, but it seemed like they had been separated for seven years.

  Undeniable.

  They have both changed.

  Ji Xiaoli was no longer that little girl who only loved to stick to her and act coquettishly, those eyes, when looking at him, were even colder than strangers!

  Qin Zong's head hurt suddenly.

  The breakup was clearly his idea, but now he regrets it. The bright and beautiful her, compared to the little girl who used to be so clumsy with dressing up, seems to have changed a long time ago.

  But he has already chosen Ji Xuewei.

  "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Ji Xiao Li and the man in front of her didn't have anything to reminisce about; she never thought that men and women could remain purely friends after breaking up.

  She doesn't want to and doesn't think so!

  "Wait." He walked over and grabbed her wrist, his expression somewhat dazed, as if recalling the night before their breakup.

  "Qin Zong! Is this true? You and Xue Wei are together?"

  "Qin Zong! Tell me why? What about our four years of feelings? What am I to you?"

  "Qin Zhen, I'm indeed just an adopted daughter of the Ji family. I don't even know where my biological parents are... I'm not comparable to Ji Xuewei's status, she's Professor Ji's biological daughter, and she's a perfect match for you! Is that why you don't want me?"

  "Since this is your choice, I won't bother you again!"

  Qin Zong didn't know whether he should sigh or not, but for the next seven months, whenever they could meet, she would always avoid him from afar, keeping that one promise.

  Won't bother him again!

  "Xiao Li, are you still resenting me, so you don't want to see me and don't want to talk to me?"

  Ji Xiaoli raised her eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled up in a cold arc: "Why hate? Hating someone is too wasteful of time and energy. What's between us ended half a year ago. You have your Ji Xuewei, I may not have you, but that doesn't mean I can't live my life..."

  "Don't think too highly of yourself."

  "I can still have someone else without you!"

  Qin Zong's face turned pale: "Then how did you end up here? I just returned from a business trip and didn't go home, but came here instead. If it wasn't for me, why would you come?"

  Qin Zong and Qin Zhenyang have a good relationship. Qin Zhenyang is the youngest son of Old Master, a high-ranking military officer in the army. Among his elders, Qin Zong admires him the most.

  The Qin family, except for the old man's generation who came out of the army, had basically completely switched to business by Qin Zhenyang's generation. Qin Zhenyang was a man of few words and was straightforward. Whenever Qin Zheng returned from a business trip, he rarely went home and instead stayed overnight in this villa.

  Never expected to run into Ji Xiaoli here.

  Ji Xiaoli seemed to be listening to a joke, but the cold smile in her eyes couldn't be concealed: "You've been with me for so long, you can't not understand what kind of person I am. Would I really force my way into someone's villa just because of a man who betrayed me, even if it means possibly being caught by security as an intruder?"

  Qin Zong was choked for a moment.

  The security measures here are indeed strict and airtight. It's simply impossible for a woman to force her way in.

  The only one, could only be...

  Qin Zong's eyes widened, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he looked her up and down as if judging whether she was what he had thought.

  Ji Xiaoli really didn't have time to continue messing around with him, shook off the hand that was holding her wrist and immediately ran downstairs.

  "Miss, breakfast is ready."

  The words before might have been edible, but after chasing Qin Zong, she had no appetite.

  Out of the door.

  The driver is ready.

  "This is what the young master has instructed, Miss, wherever you want to go, let Uncle Zhou take you there." Since it was in the suburbs and not many cars passed by, Ji Xiaoli didn't refuse and got on the car directly.

  After Qin Zheng went downstairs, the car had already driven far away. He looked a bit gloomy and found Wang Lao Tai who was sunbathing outside the garden, "Auntie Wang, what's going on with that woman who just left?"

  Old Lady Wang swayed gently in her rattan chair, her eyes, narrowed from the sun's glare, sparkled with amusement as she glanced at Qin Zong. She knew that Young Master and Qin Zong were close, but she also recalled that he had said this matter was not to be told to Old Master for now.

  "Didn't Qin Xiaoshao guess some of it himself? Although I didn't say anything, you also thought of it... This matter, Qin Xiaoshao must not mention it in front of the old master, the young master doesn't want to reveal his intentions for now."

  Qin Zong's face changed again and again, and it was already not very good.

  He seemed to recall that she had come out of his younger uncle's room, and if he wasn't mistaken, there was also a deep red kiss mark on her neck...

  Last night.

  Is she with her younger brother-in-law?

  Always keeping a distance from women, his younger uncle actually hooked up with his ex-girlfriend... Qin Zong only felt that he couldn't accept this reality, yet it still happened anyway.

  He didn't know how a girl like Ji Xiaoli would get entangled with Qin Zhenyang, the cold-faced king... His heart was filled with suppressed anger, as if he didn't know how to vent it out!

  "Qin Xiaoshao, I heard that you and your girlfriend are getting engaged at the end of the year. Congratulations in advance!" Old Lady Wang loved to see young people get married, and now that she was older, she enjoyed hearing joyful news.

  Qin Zong thought of Ji Xuewei.

  He seems a bit annoyed, he seems to be used to putting the two sisters together for comparison, one is gentle, one is hot. One is obedient, one has a strong personality.

  Now, the gentle one who was cold to him is like a stranger, and the original fiery Ji Xuewei only knows how to throw tantrums, act coquettishly, and stick to people, with some hidden annoyance in her heart.

  "It's still early days, who knows what will happen by the end of the year..."
