novelBelieve me

"Of course, get in the car with me first." Seeing his daughter crying, Qin Yue's heart felt like it was being held tightly by someone, tight enough to suffocate.
"Dad, I know you're doing this because you love me and you don't want me to hurt you. But I'm eighteen years old, I'm an adult, and I know what I'm doing." Qin Leran bit his lips, and said again, "Big Brother Lie is someone I have chosen. I believe in him, so please trust me, okay?"
Qin Leran's tone was very light, as if he was begging his father, and within his prayers, there were many more grievances and stubbor ess.
Big Brother Lie was someone she had chosen to like and trust. She also hoped that his family would believe in him the same way she did.
She had overheard their conversation, heard the Big Brother Lie changing his name to Mr. Qin, and had a look of loneliness on her face when she saw him walk out of the room.
Of course, he was able to become the head of a country, and he had heard quite a few different things about him. However, this was different.
Because the people who said those words to him were not those who had nothing to do with him, but her real father, whom he cared about. Big Brother Lie must have been very sad at the time.
Seeing his lonely back, she really wanted to rush out and hug him, telling him not to be sad, but she couldn't.
Before he knew that she already knew who he was, she had to pretend that she didn't know before he could handle his affairs properly.
"Of course, dad doesn't want you to get hurt. I did not stop you from being with him." Qin Yue explained.
"Dad, you and Mom both told me that. You are the one who told me that no one's life is smooth sailing, that everyone's life has varying degrees of twists and turns. I know that if I were to rush in with my head covered, I might meet with a setback, but please let me go in and perhaps you will see a different daughter."
This path, this senseless relationship, was her own choice. Perhaps the result wouldn't be as she wished, but she definitely wouldn't regret it.
Qin Leran understood his father's worries, but if he did not challenge it, he would hide under his parents' protection for the rest of his life, receiving their protection. Was he really someone they wanted to see?
She was convinced that her father did not want her to be such a weak and incompetent child. It was only after all these years that she had learned all kinds of knowledge and developed her intelligence in all aspects.
"Alright." Qin Yue said solemnly.
She said that she wanted to go, that she didn't want to hide under her parents' wings anymore, so he let her go. He only needed to let her know that no matter what happened outside, she still had a home, a family that loved her.
"Dad, thank you!" For some reason, after her father had promised her, her tears had begun to fall even harder.
"Silly child, you are my daughter." Qin Yue pulled the little girl into his embrace and patted her back lightly. He hoped to see her happiness more than anyone else.
"Mr. President, you must not take the words of the people of Qin Family to heart." After driving Quan Nandi to the house on Tong Da Road, Lin Jiacheng endured for a long time, before he could not bear it anymore and spoke again.
"Are you ready for tomorrow morning's meeting?" As Lin Jiacheng said this, Quan Nandi was talking about other things, and did not intend to bring up the events of the night in the first place.
Qin Yue doted on his daughter, so it was normal for him to talk to him. If they exchanged identities with each other, he would do the same.
"Mr. President??"
"I'm asking you."
"I'm ready." Lin Jiacheng did not dare to speak anymore.
"Go back early." Quan Nandi said again before he turned and entered the courtyard.
The house was still the same as before, and he had come here alone for an occasional night.
The room was empty, the heart empty.
Perhaps it was because someone had come here last night, but now there was her cheerful laughter, and now there was her lively figure.
Today, he came here again. The girl who stayed here last night had disappeared. Everything that happened last night was like a dream that he used to have. That was why he felt so lonely.
Just as he was thinking about the person at the top of his heart, Quan Nandi's private phone buzzed twice. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Qin Leran.
"Big Brother Lie, my father came to Linhai City and took me away this morning. Don't be sad if you don't see me when you go home. Also the weather is cold, you remember to add a dress, do not catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you'll be worried."
The girl's message came so promptly, as if she knew he was thinking of her.
It was a very long text message. Quan Nandi read it again and again, and vaguely saw that little girl mischievously making faces at him on his phone.
"Silly girl, you have to take good care of yourself as well. Don't worry about those who care about you." Quan Nandi quickly replied her with a message.
"Big Brother Lie, I know you will be very disappointed to not see me when you return home. I'll send you a photo to satisfy your craving." Very quickly, Quan Nandi received another text message from Qin Leran. It was even accompanied by the photo she had taken just now.
He couldn't help but point at the face of the photo on the phone with a slight smile on his lips: "You're so cute, this Big Brother Lie really wants to eat you in one bite."
These words, he thought to himself, he didn't dare to voice them out, because the girl would definitely know that the food he was talking about was different from the food she was talking about.
She was in the same city as him, breathing the same air, but he could not see her.
He began to miss her more than he had ever missed her in a day.
When he thought about her, his fingertip uncontrollably dialed her number. Almost as soon as he called, Qin Leran immediately picked up the phone: "Big Brother Lie??."
Hearing her voice, and just hearing her voice, Quan Nandi felt as though his empty heart had been filled with her, "Of course??"
"Big Brother Lie, you must be thinking about me."Don't deny it, I know you must be thinking of me." Qin Leran's soft voice transmitted into his ears from the phone.
"Yeah, I missed you a lot." She had been here last night, in his arms, and he could feel her, feel her breath.
"Big Brother Lie??" Qin Leran snorted, "Actually I missed you too, I really wanted you to hug me, I really wanted to hear your voice."
"Of course??"
"Big Brother Lie??"
They just called out to each other, and neither of them said another word. Listening to each other's breathing in silence was also a kind of happiness.
After a long while, Qin Leran broke the silence, "Big Brother Lie, when you miss me in the future, let's video chat."
Reality would find it inconvenient to see her. Being able to see her in the video everyday was also not bad.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Quan Nandi smiled lightly. Many times when he saw her happy, he would be uncontrollably happy as well.
"Big Brother Lie, it's getting late, let's rest early. Wait for me tomorrow night."
"Alright."
"Big Brother Lie, good night!"
"Good night, of course!"
After bidding the Big Brother Lie good night, Qin Leran hung up. After hanging up, she still kept his phone close to her ear, as if she could still hear his voice this way.
Inside the room, Qin Leran's phone was ringing intensely. He did not know that there was someone outside listening for a long time, and only left after she hung up the phone.
