Though we are not related by blood, our bond is incredibly close. She is the light of my life in Mianbei.
Seeing Lin Yi bully Ping Ping, I rushed over and pushed Lin Yi away, snatching the protective charm from his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Yi's eyes were red, and his palm was scraped by the stones on the ground, blood seeping out.
Ping Ping clung tightly to my arm.
"Mommy, he took my protective charm."
I patted her head gently. "It's just a charm. If it breaks, we can forget about it."
"I'll make you a new one."
Ping Ping's eyes lit up as she hugged me tightly. "Really, Mommy?"
I nodded. "When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned before he grabbed the charm and threw it hard at me.
He ran out crying.
He collided headfirst into Xiang Wei, who was just about to come in.
Xiang Wei tenderly wiped his tears away.
" master Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"
Lin Yi cried even harder.
Xiang Wei's expression changed as she sternly asked, "Zhou Qin, what are you doing?"
" master Xiao Yi is your child; how could you treat him like this?"
I replied calmly, "Don't worry, I didn't hurt him."
"I told you I wouldn't harm master Xiao Yi, even if he thinks you are his mother. I will keep my word."
Xiang Wei's expression changed, and he said sharply, "What do you mean by that?"
I smiled faintly, but my gaze was icy.
"Just what it says."
"If you really care for Lin Yi, you shouldn't put him in such a difficult position."
"If you truly like him, you shouldn't force him to do things he doesn't want to do."
"Do you really think that forcing him to live with me will disgust me?"
Xiang Wei's face turned pale with anger.
I replied coldly, "Rest assured, I don't care about him."
"Once Ping Ping is healed, we will leave this place together."
Suddenly, a noise came from behind.
I turned to see Lin Yang standing at the door, his face dark with anger.
He must have just returned and heard what I said.
With red eyes, he looked at me and asked, "Zhou Qin, are you leaving?"
I replied coolly, "Yes."
Lin Yang trembled all over, suppressing his emotions as he softly said, "Zhou Qin, I know you've suffered a lot over the years."
"Don't worry; I will treat you well from now on."
"You and Ping Ping can stay here comfortably; I will provide for both of you."
"I'll buy you anything you want."
As he spoke, he took out a card and shoved it into my hand.
"This card has no limit; buy whatever you want."
"I neglected you in the past, but I will make it up to you from now on."
I expressionlessly tossed the card onto the ground.
"Lin Yang, do you think Ping Ping and I are lacking money?"
I shook my head. "We don't lack money; what we lack is dignity and freedom."
"Five years ago, I diligently managed the company for you without making a single mistake."
"But you sent me to Mianbei for Xiang Wei."
"And now, you want me back."
"Lin Yang, what do you take me for?"
I forced a bitter smile. "I'm tired. I don't want to play your games anymore."
"Just pretend I'm dead, will you?"
Lin Yang's face turned pale, and he almost shouted in a fit of desperation, "No!"
"Zhou Qin, you can't leave me!"
He said it with an almost obsessive tone. "You are my wife; how can you leave me?"
I replied coolly, "But you have already discarded me."
"In the seven years we've been together, you've never trusted me."
"In your eyes, I'm just a tool."
"You use me when I'm useful and cast me aside when I'm not."
I looked at him as if he were a stranger.
