n“But, young master…”

n“Go,” Leng Yan’s eyes closed a little, “I’m tired.”

nZhou Xin had to hold back what he wanted to say. After he exhaled deeply, he turned and left.

nAfter Zhou Xin left, Leng Yan opened his eyes again and lifted his blanket to get out of bed.

nSince Zhou Xin had been instructed by Leng Yan, he went to take the will and the signed agreements from the safe.

nDown the stairs, he butted heads against Qiao Qing and the files in his hand dropped to the ground.

nZhou Xin was in shock. He bent down to pick up everything.

nQiao Qing, however, beat him to it and looked at the agreement she thought she had seen wrong.

nWhen she confirmed that the word on top said “Will”, Qiao Qing’s pupils constricted. The hand she used to hold the file shook.

nZhou Xin extended his hands to try and snatch those back, “Mis. Qiao, you…”

n“Shut up!” Qiao Qing stared deadly at the will. After she glanced over the material, tears started to fall.

nBehind her, Jun Yexuan and Qi Yusen were both in shock.

nThey must’ve read what was on that file as they too, started to feel a mix of emotions.

nQiao Qing wiped away her tears. She suddenly thought of something and snapped her entire body around as she dashed into Leng Yan’s room.

nLeng Yan was just about to swallow the sleeping pills he’d been hiding.

nAfter a loud “ang”, the door was pushed open.

nLike a flash of lightning, Qiao Qing rushed towards Leng Yan and knocked the pills out of his hands.

nShe picked up the pill bottle on the side and couldn’t help but growl, “Leng Yan, what are you doing?!”

nLeng Yan pursed his colorless lips and at once, he didn’t know what to say.

nLike a child who’d been caught doing something wrong, he appeared overwhelmed.

nHe knew she would work hard for him but he didn’t expect her to work so damn hard.

nBased on the way she’d been studying, after a month, her health would deteriorate too.

nHis illness being exposed helped him feel better.

nToday, to be able to see her again before death was the biggest fortune ever. He had nothing else to dwell on.

nIf he died now, the will would become valid. It would help him get out of the current mess and can ensure that she no longer needed to torture herself over him.

nLeng Yan stared at the pills that had been knocked onto the ground and silently felt that it was a pity.

nHis subordinates didn’t follow orders well. It took a lot of effort and time for him to get those pills.

nZhou Xin’s brain went numb at the sight of the sleeping pills. His nose felt sour as tears started to fall, “Young master! You are killing me!”

nQiao Qing stared at Leng Yan and said slowly, “Who gave you the permission to end your own life?! You think if you die and leave me all this stuff, I would be happy?! If you do that, I will only live the rest of my life in pain!”

nLeng Yan took out his hand and wiped away Qiao Qing’s tears, “Qingqing, don’t cry.”

nHis words were the catalyst that truly drove Qiao Qing into a breakdown.

nWith her head against his shoulder, she started to cry her eyes out.

nShe didn’t cry when her father was captured.

nWhen she found her “father” to be in a vegetative state, she also didn’t cry.

nWhen she realized that her supposed “father” was never her father and three years of effort went to waste, she still didn’t.

nBut now, the arrow had left the bow. All the tears she’d held up throughout her life started to fall.

nHe may have bluffed just now, but to see Qiao Qing cry like this sent Leng Yan into a deep panic.

nHe so very much wanted to pull the girl in front of him into his arms. However, he was in no position to do that. He was also afraid to cause a rift between her and her lover.
