Chapter 1092 - Little Qi’s Side 79

“Thank you, Miss Sheng.” Zhi Chu followed Little Qi and thanked her in a humble tone.

Little Qi could not say a word. Perhaps, deep down, she still had some hope for He Yanzhi, but she did not dare to admit it to herself.

After returning to her room, Little Qi looked around He Yanzhi’s room again. There was only a bed and a wardrobe. There was not even an extra sofa. It was empty and desolate. Was this really the room of a big shot?

“Does your Brother He usually stay here?”

Upon hearing Little Qi’s question, Zhi Chu nodded. “Yes, I’ve been with Brother He for so many years. His life has always been so simple. He doesn’t have much entertainment usually.”

“Then why do you know about me?”

“Brother He has hidden things about himself well. Even those in the underworld don’t dare to reveal their loved ones to others. After all, isn’t that equivalent to giving enemies a target? But I know about you because I’ve seen a photo of you in Brother He’s wallet before,” Zhi Chu explained in a low voice. “Every time Brother He completes a big mission, he would take out a photo to take a look. I’ve seen it a few times in secret.”

“Go out and leave me alone.” A tight feeling wrapped around Little Qi’s heart after hearing Zhi Chu’s words.

She didn’t know what the man in the mourning hall was feeling at the moment.

Little Qi lay on the bed. The smell of He Yanzhi’s body still lingered on the blanket.

With the familiar smell, Little Qi relaxed her tense nerves and unknowingly fell asleep with the blanket in her arms.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a nightmare. She wanted to sit up, but she found that she couldn’t move her waist.

Little Qi looked down and found an arm on her waist.

Behind her, the sound of a man’s even breathing could be heard. Who else could it be but He Yanzhi.

Little Qi struggled to get up, but He Yanzhi held her down. “Xiao Wan, let me hold you for a while. Just for a while.”

“I haven’t forgiven you.”

“Grandma is gone... From now on, who should I risk my life for?” In the darkness, He Yanzhi suddenly asked sorrowfully.

His words caused Little Qi’s entire body to tremble, and she was suddenly in so much pain.

“Back then, when Auntie Hong had the accident and Grandma was injured, someone in the underworld put a bounty of 200,000 yuan for my life. I left without saying goodbye. I chose to leave because I knew that Grandma wouldn’t be able to live without me. However, you still have your parents and family. Little Wan, it’s been five years, and I’ve been living in Auntie Hong’s bloody nightmare every day. So, I swear that I’ll do whatever it takes to avenge her.

“Grandma has never liked me doing what I did. I know that after the fire, her lungs suffered a lot of damage. Later on, it turned into lung cancer. I tried everything to make her stay by my side, but when I saw her expression of enduring pain, I knew that I was too selfish...

“I have no family. From now on, I have nothing.”

Under the weak moonlight, Little Qi cried silently. Her heart ached.

Especially when she heard He Yanzhi say that he had nothing.

“What about me? What am I?”

When she asked this question, Little Qi could clearly feel the body behind her stiffen.

“I... don’t dare to say anything to persuade you to stay.”

“He Yanzhi, let me tell you. I hate you, I’m angry, and I want to cut you into a thousand pieces. However, only I can bully you. Others can’t. And we haven’t broken up yet. I’m not done with you,” Little Qi shouted in an agitated and hoarse voice.
