Li Yinian didn't seem to see it at all. She stared at the void with an empty expression.

Qiao Yanze felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a large hand. The pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

He put the cup aside and hugged her.

Li Yinian looked terrified and immediately struggled, but Qiao Yanze tightened his grip.

"Don't move. I won't touch you," he said hoarsely. "I'll send you to the bathroom. Take a good bath… I think you need it."

He sounded self-deprecating as he said the last sentence.

Although he wasn't done, he had still penetrated her. She would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"I can walk by myself." She still looked resistant.

Qiao Yanze glanced at her and didn't say anything. He picked her up horizontally and walked towards the bathroom.

Li Yinian's body stiffened, but she didn't struggle too violently. She was afraid that if she resisted too much, it would trigger the man's beastly nature, just like just now.

Fortunately, he had really calmed down this time, so he put her in the bath and turned on the switch for her before leaving the bathroom.

Li Yinian's tense nerves and body finally relaxed.

Accompanied by the sound of water, she sat in the bath with her knees bent and whimpered like a little girl.

She had been taking a shower for an hour, but she did not bring her clothes in, so she could only wrap herself in a bathrobe and tie it tightly.

When she stood at the door, she was still a little hesitant or afraid, but she couldn't stay in the bathroom forever, so after hesitating for a while, she pushed the door open and walked out.

Qiao Yanze was waiting at the door.

He was standing against the wall and had changed into a fresj set of clothes. He was biting a cigarette in his mouth. In the white smoke, the man's expression was calm, but there was a hint of tension under that calmness. The slap mark on his face made the tension even more ferocious.

Li Yinian stopped in her tracks and even lowered her breathing. Her widened eyes were filled with fear. She was really afraid of this man.

The moment Qiao Yanze looked up, he saw the fear in her eyes.

His pupils constricted, and the tension seemed to have intensified.

Li Yinian avoided eye contact with him, but she couldn't help asking, "Qiao Yanze, what exactly do you want?"

Qiao Yanze looked at her quietly for a while, stubbed out his cigarette and smiled.

"What do I want?" He focused his dark eyes on her. "I want to go back to the time when we first got together. I want you to come back to me. I want you never to leave me."

"Impossible." She smiled bitterly and said only those three words, but she refused to say another word.

There was bitterness and cold cynicism on the woman's face, as if she was mocking his innocence.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like that." He laughed hoarsely. "Believe it or not, I only wanted to see you and take a DNA sample, but after seeing you…"

Li Yinian clenched her fists and took a step back, pressing herself against the bathroom door to put some distance between them.

This defensive action made Qiao Yanze smile even more self-deprecating.
