He pressed the doorbell a couple of times, but no one opened the door . Just as he was about to leave, the door opened slowly with a 'creak' .
Qin Chu then saw Song Yishi, who was wearing a navy blue night-robe and wearing delicate makeup on her face .
"Come in…" Song Yishi's expression was lifeless, and Qin Chu followed her in after a moment's hesitation .
The lights in the living room were dimly lit, and a decanter-full of Lafite sat on the coffee table . There were two glasses, one with wine and one without . After sitting down, Song Yishi poured Qin Chu a glass .
"I'm not here to drink . " Qin Chu's voice was icy .
"I know . "
"Just say what you want to say . "
"Haha… what's the hurry?" Song Yishi smiled bitterly .
"The photo you sent me…"
"Ha, scary, right?"
"Huo Siqian did it to you?" Qin Chu frowned; he hated men who hit women, it was a sign of incompetence and worthlessness .
If Huo Siqian was really the one who cut Song Yishi's back in such a heartless manner, he wasn't fit to be called a man .
Song Yishi bit on her lips and didn't say anything . Rather, she picked up her wineglass and drank everything in it .
"Qin Chu… I miss being a child . Back then, although my parents weren't with me, I didn't have much to worry about… The more a person grows up, the more they lose, and the unhappier they become . Humans are so greedy, yearning for things that they can't have and going over the top to obtain them . "
"Mhm . " Qin Chu nodded, not disagreeing with what Song Yishi said .
She then poured herself another glass of wine . After taking a sip, she continued, "Back then, my life in Italy was good… I thought I would live there for the rest of my life, and ask my parents to move to Italy with me after they retire in five years . But… you know how stubborn my dad is, he doesn't like the culture of anywhere but China . I went to the States a couple of times and watched you from far away… I often wonder if I was brave enough to go up to you and tell you how I feel about you…"
"Even so, I wouldn't accept you . Huo Mian is the only woman I'll ever love," Qin Chu interrupted her; indeed, back then the only woman on his mind was Huo Mian . All he wanted was to win his seven-year-deal with his father, go back to China, and marry her .
Therefore, even if Song Yishi chased fervently after him back then, he still wouldn't have agreed to date her .
"I know… but at least I won't have any regrets . Once you do something, you won't have any regrets, even if you fail . "
Then, Song Yishi picked up her wineglass again; Qin Chu, on the other hand, was losing his patience .
"If you don't like your life right now, just get divorced and leave him . "
"Leave him? Haha, I wish it were that simple . " Song Yishi smiled bitterly .
"He threatened you?" Qin Chu guessed, and Song Yishi quickly changed his subject, "How is Mr . Qin doing?"
"Not well . "
"I heard he has a brain tumor . "
"Mhm . "
"Are the chances of surviving surgery high?"
"No…" Qin Chu said truthfully .
"I hope Mr . Qin can survive this, he's such a great person…" Song Yishi looked down .
Qin Chu noticed that her eyes drifted around… and her words seemed somewhat incoherent .
"What did you want to say to me?" Qin Chu asked icily; he didn't want to waste any more time with her anymore . If she didn't send him that gross photo and if it weren't for Mayor Song, he wouldn't have even come .
He never cared about whether Song Yishi was doing well, and whether she was alive or dead .
After some silence, Song Yishi said, "Qin Chu, stop fighting Huo Siqian, you can't win . "
