Chapter 38: Brother Sichen, Don’t Deal with Me Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ning Qing spent the night in a daze.

During this period, she had nightmares again and again. When she woke up, she did not know what she had dreamed of. Her pillow was filled with tears.

She changed out of the pillowcase and felt very depressed in the morning.

In the morning, she received a call from Yan Sichen.

“Qing Qing, it’s me.”

At that time, Ning Qing was lying on a deck chair on the balcony. Her lifeless eyes were fixed on the road below. Cars and figures flashed past from time to time.

“Brother Sichen.”

“Are you okay?”

Ning Qing lowered her eyes. The slightly dazzling sunlight poured down from her long eyelashes, revealing a fragile beauty.

Her voice was a little hoarse. “I’m fine.”

Seemingly sensing that she was not in a good mood, he asked, “Qing Qing, did he make things difficult for you when you went back yesterday?”

Ning Qing suddenly recalled what Nian Lie had said to her.

“From now on, don’t see Yan Sichen again.”

He hated Yan Sichen so much. If she continued to contact him, what if Nian Lie found out…?

Ning Qing did not know.

However, she knew that he could not do anything good.

She had already brought too much misfortune to too many people. She could not implicate Yan Sichen anymore.

She forced a smile and her voice was a little light.

“No, I’m his wife no matter what. What can he do to me? Brother Sichen, don’t worry about me.”

“…”

“What about you? Did he make things difficult for you after I left yesterday?”

There was a faint electric sound on the other end of the line, making Yan Sichen’s voice sound a little obscure. “No, he doesn’t dare to do anything to me yet.”

“That’s good.”

Then, there was a short silence.

Yan Sichen sat in the car. His distant gaze passed through the car window and landed on a certain spot on the second floor of the European-style building.

He could not help but mutter, “Qing Qing…”

“Brother Sichen.”

Ning Qing interrupted him.

Yan Sichen’s grip on the phone tightened. “Yes, I’m here.”

A soft and clear female voice was heard.

“Thank you for your help these few times. Without you, my situation would only have become worse.”

“…”

“Also, sorry to trouble you about yesterday.”

Yan Sichen asked softly, “What?”

Ning Qing smiled. “There were so many reporters yesterday and so many photos taken of me. It must have been difficult to handle, right?”

It was clearly such a big matter, but she did not see any news on the Internet today.

Who else could be so considerate of her other than Yan Sichen?

Ning Qing said sincerely, “Thank you very much, Brother Sichen.”

Because of the phone, Ning Qing could not see Yan Sichen’s stiff body.

“Also…”

Her voice lowered as a bad feeling hit her heart. Yan Sichen breathed heavily. “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve thought about what you told me yesterday.”

“…”

Ning Qing was almost lying on her back as she looked at the bright blue sky and the passing birds. Her vision was blurry for a moment.

She envied its freedom.

As for herself, she was locked in a cage. She could not escape.

She smiled bitterly and said, “There are some things I really can’t change. So, Brother Sichen, you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

“Qing Qing!”

The man’s slightly painful voice was heard. Ning Qing’s eyes overflowed with tears. She said, “I hope that Brother Sichen will be fine in the future.” Then, she hurriedly hung up.

Then, the man called again and again. Ning Qing hung up completely and did not pick up another call.

She only knew that she could not let him offend Nian Lie for her.

In the eyes of some people, she was already unforgivable.

Therefore, she could not add another crime to his name.

Ning Qing did not know that outside the manor, on the other side of the wall, the man in the car had tears in his eyes. His heart ached as he cried in regret.
