Chapter 309: Chapter 309: You Are The Only Person I Trust

It seemed like the company’s collapse was a trivial matter to him.

Some people admired Qiao Yiyang for his resolve, being able to take on and let go with ease.

Others mocked him for posturing, thinking that it was all just a facade he was putting on.

Lin Xinlan, after reading the newspaper, fell silent.

She didn’t know whether to face it all with indifference, or to feel regret for him.

She had always wanted to ask him a question: was it him who had someone take that photo and send it to Rong Shaoze?

She hadn’t asked, for fear of knowing the truth.

The child was already gone; what use was there in knowing more? It would only add a bit more chill to her heart.

Anyway, whether it was him or not, her attitude towards him could only be one of indifference.

Rong Shaoze came in, sat beside her, snatched the newspaper to glance at, and couldn’t help but sneer, "He’s really keeping his cool, acting so unruffled even now."

"Did you cause his company to fall apart?" she asked lightly, already knowing the answer but still wanting to hear him admit it.

The man’s gaze shifted subtly as he looked at her, "His company has fallen apart, are you worried about him?"

She shouldn’t have asked him.

Without any interest, she withdrew her gaze slightly, lowered her eyes, and decided not to ask anymore; she didn’t want to know the answer either.

It was none of her concern if they fought each other to death; she belonged to a different world from theirs, and she didn’t want to get involved in their disputes.

"Not happy?" Rong Shaoze’s slender fingers pinched her chin, turned her head, and forced her to look at him.

His patience was always short when it came to matters involving Lin Xinlan.

Especially concerning her and other men; he had no patience at all and would even become severely suspicious.

Lin Xinlan slightly furrowed her brows and shook off his hand, her tone very cold, "If you must link me to him in every matter, then I have nothing else to say! From the beginning, it’s been you saying that I care about him, that I’m involved with him. You’re the one with trust issues; don’t drag me into it!"

She didn’t want to explain so much, afraid that he might act out on an impulse and hurt her again.

She didn’t want to be hurt anymore; her heart was already riddled with holes. She just wanted to protect herself and minimize the damage.

"I was just asking, what are you angry about?" Rong Shaoze suddenly smiled, pulled her close, and affectionately hugged her in his embrace.

"I won’t doubt you anymore, I’ve said it before, I will trust you from now on, believe in what you say," he whispered softly, his voice gentle, but Lin Xinlan didn’t realize how important these words he spoke were, how significant.

"Xinlan, you’re the only person I trust. How about that, are you a little moved?" he asked with a grin, displaying the obstinate expression of a child.

Rong Shaoze truly was a man of many moods, one moment composed, the next capricious. One moment cruel, the next very tender.

How could this person be so changeable?

But Lin Xinlan had already gotten used to it, one might even say she had become numb to it.

She didn’t respond to his words, and the man didn’t demand an answer, just held her like that, as if he possessed the whole world.

In the dark study, the man’s tall figure still stood in front of the closed blinds, his gaze looking out the window. Through the slight crack, he could see a bit of light from outside.
