Chapter 21: Cold Romance

For about ten minutes, they were in an awkward atmosphere.

He stopped the car and asked her, "Do you like him?" She didn't answer, but he saw her crying.

He looked ahead and said earnestly, "Humans and vampires shouldn't be together in the first place, if you're really interested in him, I hope you'll wake up, how long have you known each other?" All he wants is your blood and this new project. Moreover, he is about to get engaged, but his fiancée is not you. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but you still care about your own problems, and I will deal with my own problems." She wiped away her tears, but wasn't ready to get out of the car right away.

"There's a question I have to ask," he said, turning his head to look at her, "where am I so far from him?" Why would you be tempted by an alien? ”

She looked him firmly in the eye, and there was a hint in her eyes that persuaded him to stop: "He gave me life." ”

He didn't speak, because he didn't understand what life she was talking about, and he only felt that the word seemed to carry a lot of weight, but he still refused to admit defeat.

"You started that attack."

He looked away and did not answer, in fact stating that he had done it.

"I don't need your special care, we've long been separated, and please don't challenge him."

"Can we go back?"

She held the brooch and said regretfully: "Han, it's too late, after I know you've done a lot for me, it's too late, we can't go back, I'm already in love with him." ”

He looked at her, but she avoided his eyes.

……

April 19 was her birthday, one of the few messages his parents had left her. She heard that she was picked up by the dean's aunt at the gate of the welfare home on May 31, and her parents left only a letter, a message to be precise, stating that her name was Yi Ru and that she was born in the early morning of April 19.

She has never had the idea of looking for her biological parents since she was a child, and she believes that having Xiao Feifei is enough. The thought of the "big monster" who always bullied her made her even more afraid of knowing her biological parents, and she deduced that the child must have contracted the disease of her parents and their violent temper when she was in the womb.

In the evening, she came to the night market alone to "celebrate her birthday". Jingjing wasn't there because Ji didn't tell her. The trip was made for one purpose, to see if Collins actually came back.

Today, the youngest daughter of the night market boss turned ten, and she saw that the girl was dressed like a princess, and accompanied by her parents and two older sisters, the girl was happily scurrying around in the electronic fireworks, like a free butterfly in the flowers. She heard the girl's carefree angelic laughter, and the girl's parents must have loved their daughter. She looked at them and smiled, but at the same time a little sad, because she was an orphan and her childhood was not as bright as this girl's.

The girl suddenly ran up to her and stood in front of her, pleading with her with those big cute eyes: "Sister, can I play with this swing?" ”

She smiled and gave the swing to the girl, then walked back alone, ready to go back. In fact, it is the same for her whether she has a birthday or not, and in the past 21 years, she has not had any meaningful birthday.

"Miss Ji!"

She heard a familiar voice and looked back to see Collins walking towards her. She could feel his sincerity, as evidenced by the fact that he had canceled the engagement, but wondered if the man remembered his duplicity.

"I know you're coming, it's been a busy day, and I'm tired, can you send me back?"

"It's not that simple."

He picked her up and slowly walked out of the night market. Everything was exactly the same as what she had seen before, but in the end she kept her hand in the window. "There are some things that we have to make clear."

"It's not convenient to say here." He dropped her down and opened the car door for her.

A carpet of roses, wine glasses, candles, and a homemade birthday cake — for the first time she was touched to have someone prepare it for her.

Today, he is dressed in a suit, sitting at the piano, playing the song they are all familiar with. She also sat at the piano, next to him, and watched every finger of him dance, every key touching the heartstrings.

The cold-toned light shone on his face, and the seriousness was so charming, as if shouting on the high mountain with flowers blooming on the rocky shore: "Come back." ”

When the song stops, it is the moment when the eyes meet, for a long time, for a long time...... He slowly moved closer to her silhouette, feeling the warmth coming from her—a temperature that neutralized his. But she didn't overdo it.

"There are only two brooches, one of which is with you, thank you for keeping it." His voice was small, but just enough for her to hear.

Then he pulled out a letter with a noble brooch pinned to it, the Countess brooch.
