Ye Wenming frowned even more. Something seemed to be pressing on his heart, making him feel stuffy.
He had forgotten his feelings for the woman, but why... did the sight of her make him feel so uncomfortable?
He said, "What's the matter? You can't do it, can you? Zhuo Qianyun, your friend is important to you. Your children are important to you too. But I'm the only one who doesn't matter to you, so why should I say yes? So much for what you call ‘paying whatever price’!"
He waved her hand away and got into the car.
Zhuo Qianyun stood there blankly, her hands empty.
'Is there really nothing I can do? Is there no way for me to save Xia Xi? I can't pay the price Ye Wenming is asking me to, but what about Xia Xi... What will happen to Xia Xi?
'Was what Yan Qiongying said true?'
She could only sob helplessly now. Zhuo Qianyun lowered her head as her shoulders quivered slightly.
Ye Wenming's car slowly drove away. Ye Wenming looked at Zhuo Qianyun's shrinking figure in the rearview mirror and suddenly closed his eyes, telling himself not to think about it anymore.
'This woman shouldn't be making me so emotional.
'I've forgotten all about our relationship, haven't I?'
His back leaned heavily against the back seat, and he reached out one hand to place over the spot where his heart was.
'But why is it beating so violently?'
