Qiao Yanze swallowed hard and walked towards her.
Li Yinian had just taken a bite of ice cream, so she still had a satisfied smile on her face when she turned around.
Until the man’s tall figure entered her sight.
Her eyes widened and the ice cream in her hand fell to the ground.
Qiao Yanze had already walked up to her. He didn’t seem to realize how much his appearance had shocked her. He grabbed her waist and ordered the same ice cream f;avors as her in fluent German.
The warm body of the woman in his arms was abnormally stiff.
When the girl handed over the ice cream, she finally couldn’t take it anymore and asked in a low voice, “Qiao Yanze, how long are you going to be crazy for!”
Qiao Yanze paid the bill, took the ice cream and handed it to her with a smile. “This is for you.”
Li Yinian panted and stared at him fiercely, but she didn’t take it.
Qiao Yanze didn’t mind and asked, “Where’s Qin Hongyu? I thought he was with you.”
She bit her lip. “He has a very important lecture to attend, so he left this morning.”
Qiao Yanze smiled. “Very good.”
Li Yinian clenched her fists and felt weak.
She had said everything she needed to say, but this man just didn’t care. What was the point of saying it again?
“Let’s go somewhere else.” Qiao Yanze still seemed to be in a good mood. He held her waist and led her to the distant lawn.
Li Yinian had no choice but to follow him.
There weren’t many tourists in Interlaken this season, so they quickly strayed away from the crowd.
Qiao Yanze sat her down on the bench by the roadside and handed her the ice cream again. “It’s melting soon. Don’t waste it.”
“Let go of me first,” she said hoarsely.
Qiao Yanze paused for a moment before releasing her.
The woman seemed to heave a sigh of relief. She moved to the other side of the bench to distance herself from him before taking the ice cream from his hand.
However, this action seemed to have ignited something in Qiao Yanze’s eyes.
“What’s your relationship with Qin Hongyu now? Are you two together?” he asked calmly.
His tone was unexpectedly calm.
Li Yinian paused and nodded. “Yes. He’s a good person. I want to give him and myself a chance.”
Qiao Yanze’s eyes darkened. He clenched his fists as if he was trying to suppress something.
“Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out?”
p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 “He knows everything,” Li Yinian said with a relieved smile. “But I didn’t tell him. He guessed it himself. And he didn’t care at all.”
That smile pierced Qiao Yanze’s heart.
He knew very well that every minute and second with him was torture for her. She was in pain and filled with guilt.
However, Qin Hongyu could make her smile like that. How long had it been since he had seen her smile?
Actually, he knew very well what he should do, but to let go of her and let her be with another man?
No, he could not do it. Over his dead body.
Qiao Yanze laughed hoarsely. “Is that so? He sounds like a good man.”
Li Yinian couldn’t help looking at him in surprise. ‘Has he finally decided to let me go?’
