Chapter 101: Unexpected
While the people on the other side were still in a standoff, Qing Tian’s legs trembled, unable to move. The voice was so familiar, so distant, so much so that she remembered it every midnight.
But wasn’t her dad in prison? Why was he out, and why didn’t he look for her? A string of doubts filled her mind!
Unsure if the person was her dad, she finally dragged her lead-heavy feet to the front of the three people.
The man in black was stunned the moment he saw Qing Tian, then said with a straight face, “Qing Tian, what are you doing here?”
Seeing Qing Haifeng meet an acquaintance, his accomplice pulled his hand and whispered, “Let’s leave here quickly!”
Seeing the two relax, Ji Xiangyu immediately leaped forward and kicked, pinning the man in black’s accomplice to the ground. His hands were also busy, and at the same time, he grabbed Qing Haifeng!
Qing Haifeng cried out in pain, while Qing Tian yelled at Ji Xiangyu, “Let go of my dad quickly, Dad…”
Dad? Ji Xiangyu’s heart trembled. This person was Qing Tian’s father. He looked at Qing Tian doubtfully, then at the violent man in black. It was hard to imagine Qing Tian and him being father and daughter.
Ji Xiangyu didn’t let go; instead, he tightened his grip. He glared at the man in black and said, “These two are bombers. If I let them go, won’t they get away with it again? They must be handed over to the police station for processing!”
Hearing Ji Xiangyu say this, Qing Tian’s heart was completely pierced. As expected, she was just the daughter of a fraudster, with no right to uphold justice.
Qing Tian frowned, her expression pained as she pleaded with Ji Xiangyu, “Ji Xiangyu, I’m begging you, let my dad go, I…” She couldn’t finish the sentence, sobbing uncontrollably.
Qing Haifeng watched his daughter groveling to a bratty kid, and he became angry. But he couldn’t show his violent and fierce side in front of Qing Tian. So, as Qing Tian pleaded and Ji Xiangyu confronted Qing Haifeng, one minute passed!
The sound of a fire truck from afar, the sound of a police car, various sounds erupted in this quiet night!
Qing Tian was truly anxious this time. She pleaded with Ji Xiangyu again, “Please, I’ll agree to that promise you mentioned, okay? Just turn a blind eye for my sake?”
Ji Xiangyu was taken aback. How could he agree? But looking at Qing Tian’s pained expression, he couldn’t pretend not to care. He reluctantly released the two.
As soon as Qing Haifeng was free, he sprang up and pointed at Ji Xiangyu, saying, “Today, for my daughter’s sake, I’ll let you off for now! Kid, you better learn some sense in the future and don’t go looking for trouble!”
Qing Tian cried out, “Dad…”
Ji Xiangyu walked closer to Qing Tian and embraced her, saying, “Uncle, for Qing Tian’s sake, surrender!”
Qing Haifeng laughed, a very sinister laugh. Seeing him like this, Qing Tian’s heart trembled. It was too terrifying. Was this her dad? So many mysteries. Why had her dad become this person?
The sirens of police cars and fire trucks grew closer, and Qing Tian became anxious. More and more patients and bodyguards from the surrounding area appeared. She steeled herself.
Qing Tian frowned, looking at the man in black, Qing Haifeng, and his accomplice in the darkness. She silently pulled Ji Xiangyu and said coldly, “Let’s go!”
After speaking, she gave Qing Haifeng a meaningful glance. Ji Xiangyu looked at Qing Tian with great confusion.
Go? Why were the parents and daughter, who hadn’t seen each other for so long, so distant at this moment?
Despite her many questions, Ji Xiangyu still followed and walked away. Seeing Qing Tian walk away indifferently, Qing Haifeng also left with his accomplice.
Qing Haifeng silently said in his heart, “Nannan, I’m sorry, please forgive me, Dad!”
After leaving, Ji Xiangyu grabbed Qing Tian’s arm as she walked forward and looked at her with a face full of questions.
Qing Tian lowered her head, not looking at Ji Xiangyu’s eyes. She didn’t know what to say at this moment because the secret she least wanted to be known had been revealed today, especially by Ji Xiangyu.
She thought Ji Xiangyu would ask a barrage of questions, but in the next second, she was pulled into a gentle embrace.
Ji Xiangyu held Qing Tian tightly and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, and you don’t have to fear anything!”
Qing Tian buried her head in Ji Xiangyu’s embrace. Her body, which had been trembling from the cold, was now surrounded by warmth.
Qing Tian didn’t know where to start or how to explain, because her heart was so chaotic right now, so chaotic that she couldn’t find her way.
Ji Xiangyu then released his embrace and looked at Qing Tian, cautiously asking, “If it weren’t for what just happened, would your heart have agreed too?”
Qing Tian lowered her eyelids. In her heart, she had already nodded, but…
Ji Xiangyu called out again, “I love you!”
Qing Tian looked up in surprise. The surrounding environment began to spin. Did he say “I love you”?
This “I love you” echoed and replayed in the air. Qing Tian reached out and caressed Ji Xiangyu’s cheek, slowly moving downwards. Only when her index finger touched his did she feel it was real. It was these sexy, charming lips that had spoken the words she had longed to hear.
Ji Xiangyu reached out and covered the hand that was wandering on his face. Alarms blared all around, but even so, in his world, only Qing Tian existed.
Qing Tian repeated in disbelief, “I… love… you!”
Ji Xiangyu echoed, “Yes, I love you, Qing Tian. Today, here, I swear to you, I, Ji Xiangyu, will only love Qing Tian forever. If I break my promise, I will die a terrible death…”
Qing Tian reached out to stop Ji Xiangyu from continuing, her face blushing, “Enough, this is enough.”
Having learned from the previous lesson, Ji Xiangyu pressed his advantage today and asked, “Then… what about you? Are you the same as me?”
Qing Tian nodded, but Ji Xiangyu was still unsure of her feelings and pressed, “Does nodding mean yes?”
Qing Tian took Ji Xiangyu’s hand and gently kissed it.
If this still didn’t prove anything, then she would really have to prove it with actions.
Ji Xiangyu happily lifted Qing Tian and spun her around in the air. Qing Tian was almost dizzy.
This Ji Xiangyu, when he was gentle, was very gentle, but when he went crazy, he was simply astonishing.
Was it really okay for her to do this?
