"What's wrong?" Ye Junli heard my words and braked to a halt.
"Zhou Xiang!" Ye Junli suddenly pulled me back with all his strength, and a car behind me whistled past with its flute.
I came back to my senses and immediately looked in the direction that I had seen, but there was no one there. I looked at the entrance of the bustling store and wondered if I was seeing things.
I absentmindedly looked at Ye Junli and muttered to myself, "I …" I saw my father. "
Yes, my father, my father who was imprisoned for robbery. I don't know if I was mistaken, but why would he appear in the imperial city?
"Your father?" Ye Junli's voice became somewhat strange as well.
I nodded, but then thought about it, that's not possible. Although Liu Rui said that he was about to be released from prison, I don't know whether this news is reliable or not. Furthermore, Liu Rui has not seen him for so many years, how can there be any connection between the two of them?
"Maybe I was wrong. Let's go." In the end, I still walked back indifferently, because I didn't know what meaning this had to me. Actually, even if the person I saw was my father, I didn't know what I could do, since Liu Rui had already said it before, that I was actually an orphan picked up by an orphanage. He might even be like Liu Rui, complaining that I didn't take good care of Xiao Nian.
I returned to the car and leaned on the back of the car tiredly. I suddenly thought, why did Xiao Nian and not me die?
Ye Junli also got on the car and looked at me with an inquiring gaze. After that, he started the car and said, "Zhou Xiang, if you want, I can help you find your father."
I shook my head tiredly. I no longer dared to ask Ye Junli to do anything for me. I always felt that everything this man did had a purpose, and I couldn't give him what he wanted.
"Perhaps I was mistaken. He should still be in prison, so he didn't come out that quickly. Moreover, it's impossible for him to come to the capital." I whispered.
Ye Junli remained silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe he commuted his sentence? Don't you want to see him again? Ask about your past? "
I don't know why, but I kept having the feeling that there was something in his words, as if he was trying to imply something to me. But I really didn't know what he was talking about, and I couldn't get any information from his words.
But after going through so much, I'm already tired of dealing with these matters that have nothing to do with me. Originally, my father and I didn't have too deep of a relationship, so I don't want to know what happened.
"Forget it," I said, closing my eyes. "It doesn't matter, I don't care about my life anymore, it's all a life of abandonment anyway. I don't think there's anything else to investigate."
Ye Junli didn't know what expression was on his face, but he didn't say anything to me.
Too many things happened today. I was treated so badly by Ye Junli, and by the time I got home, I had already lost all my strength. I didn't say a word to Ye Junli and directly entered my room.
I collapsed onto the bed, my heart in a mess. I didn't know how I would face Wu Meng tomorrow, but I might not be able to return to the Demon Region in the future.
I struggled to my feet and went into the bathroom.
I took off my clothes and looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I saw that my entire body was green and purple, covered with the scars that Ye Junli had given me.
At the same time, I clearly understood the relationship between the two of us. To me, he is just a plaything on a whim. Whether or not he likes it or not, he definitely won't allow anyone else to get their hands on him.
I remembered the injured look on Yang Zhong's face before I left. Yang Zhong had ten good men, but I was not destined to be worthy of him. I can only forgive him for using such an extreme method to make him give up.
When I woke up the next day, Ye Junli was already gracefully eating breakfast in the dining room. I was exhausted, but I still had to stay away from work, no matter who gave me this opportunity. In short, I had to grab hold of it right now.
I didn't want to talk to Ye Junli any longer, so I got in the car and didn't say anything. Ye Junli wasn't a patient person, so he didn't say anything either.
Maybe this is the best way for the two of us to get along. I don't know when, but when he gets tired of being with me, that will be the time for me to leave him.
However, before that, I should have my own career, so that I can guarantee that after I leave him, I can take revenge for Xiao Nian and live a wonderful life in this world.
My life doesn't only have Xiao Nian's hatred, I also have to live my own life. One day, I'll get rid of all this hate and live the life I'm supposed to have.
I glanced at Ye Junli. He might not be here for the rest of my life.
Just as I was thinking about this, Ye Junli's car suddenly came to a screeching halt. Just as I was about to ask him what was going on, a large truck came crashing towards me.
Ye Junli had been steering the car non-stop, but he was still driving in the direction of the large truck. At this critical moment, I didn't care too much and directly pounced towards Ye Junli to block him.
"You're crazy!" Ye Junli's voice rang out in a muffled voice.
I kept my eyes on the big car outside and watched it crash into me.
I didn't know why, but protecting Ye Junli was an instinctive reaction of mine.
After that, there was a loud sound, followed by a violent shaking. After that, everything in front of me went dark. I didn't know what happened next.
Before I lost consciousness, I could faintly hear Ye Junli calling out my name, turning around to protect me.
Why should he? Why should he use his body as a cover to protect me? Wasn't he the one who hurt me the most?
There was another violent vibration, and this time, I completely lost consciousness.
