Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Even if It Means Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst

He was greatly alarmed inside, had he really taken a liking to Lin Xinlan?

"Yiyang, do you know what you are doing?" he asked coldly.

Qiao Yiyang understood his meaning.

People like them, they couldn’t afford to have emotions. Emotions were just a fatal weakness for them,

yet they were also the ones who craved emotions the most.

Emotions, to them, were like poisoned wine encountered in thirst; not drinking it was unbearably painful, but drinking it might cost their lives.

But without trying, how would they know whether it was indeed deadly poisoned wine? What if it wasn’t?

In the vast sea of people, he had met a woman who stirred his heart. How could he let go easily, simply miss out?

If someone like Rong Shaoze could fall for it, that just showed how powerful the magic of love was.

He wanted love, craved that happiness and sweetness, even if it meant quenching thirst with poison. He was willing to take the risk.

"Mingyan, I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry, I haven’t lost my mind. I have my own plans."

"What plans do you have? Are your plans just to get this woman, aren’t they?! Yiyang, are our brotherly ties not more important to you than a woman?" Rong Mingyan asked, somewhat sorrowfully.

His relationship with Qiao Yiyang was indeed very good.

They grew up together and had faced many hardships. They weren’t just cousins by blood, but also friends who shared difficulties and trusted each other.

In his view, Qiao Yiyang wouldn’t oppose him over a woman.

Yet, the fact that he actually planned to confront him over Lin Xinlan was distressing.

Qiao Yiyang looked at him with deep-set eyes, resolute. "Mingyan, can’t you just let me have this one time? Trust me, I won’t put us both in danger. Doesn’t our brotherhood deserve your leniency towards a woman and a child?"

Rong Mingyan’s expression was taut, his eyes filled with shadows.

His hand remained raised, his gun still pointed at Lin Xinlan.

Qiao Yiyang was merely holding the barrel, waiting for his decision.

He wasn’t forcing him to let go of Lin Xinlan and Lin Cong. But using their brotherly ties to pressure him made it even harder for him to accept.

If he were to kill them both, perhaps Qiao Yiyang would not resent him.

But there would surely be a rift in their relationship, wouldn’t there?

Rong Mingyan gritted his teeth, his eyes dimming as he also lowered his arm.

Although he felt hatred and reluctance in his heart, he could only choose to let go!

Putting away his gun, he said indifferently, "You’ve done a lot for me, so this time I will step back for you. Yiyang, I hope you truly understand what your decision means."

Qiao Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief; he knew that this decision was a difficult one.

He also knew that if he chose to step back, he wouldn’t go against his wishes and secretly harm Lin Xinlan and her child.

Qiao Yiyang smiled faintly. "Thank you. I know you are concerned about me, and I know what I am doing."

He wasn’t a fool; of course, he wouldn’t raise a tiger that could become a threat, but he couldn’t let Lin Cong come to harm.

It was clear that the child was Lin Xinlan’s life, her everything. To have Lin Xinlan, the child must be allowed to live well.

Destroying the child was akin to destroying Lin Xinlan.

As Qiao Yiyang sat in his current position, could he not handle a child? Of course, he planned to have Lin Xinlan and he would not allow the child to become a tiger that might bite.
