NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1060 Surveillance
Yang Fei looked at her sorrowful expression, and his heart couldn't bear it. He sighed softly.
"Fairy Consort, actually my true identity is..."
Qin Xianfei suddenly reached out her hand, covering his mouth, her voice infinitely gentle.
"I don't want to know your real situation. If I did, I might never be able to forget you."
"I don't want to be forever trapped in this beautiful dream and never wake up."
At this point, she bit her lip hard.
"As the sole heir of the Qin Corporation, I cannot allow myself to be like this. It would be a huge irresponsibility to the entire family."
Yang Fei sighed and muttered a sentence softly.
"For that Qin Corporation, is it worth making so many sacrifices?"
Qin Xianfei's gaze flickered for a moment, then she resolutely said, "It's worth it."
Her eyes held a fierce determination akin to that of a mother wolf.
"The Qin Family is different from those century-old families; we only rose in recent decades."
"The Qin Corporation is the lifelong effort of my father and grandfather, and the only home for all the descendants of the Qin Family."
"This is my mission, my unshakable responsibility."
Yang Fei sneered.
"So, you want to turn yourself into a work machine?"
"And even sacrifice your love and marriage for the rise of the Qin Family?"
Tears welled up in Qin Xianfei's eyes.
"Children without umbrellas must learn to run. A person like me, how can I dare to talk about love?"
Yang Fei sighed and lazily collapsed onto the bed.
"I admire your dedication, but I feel it's not worth it for you."
"Life is extremely short; if you've lost the ability to love, what's the point of leaving behind a vast Qin Corporation?"
"A hundred years from now, the Qin Family might have long dispersed, making today's efforts laughable, wouldn't they?"
Qin Xianfei widened her eyes.
Yang Fei's rebellious words were simply heresy to Qin Xianfei, who had been groomed since childhood to dedicate her life to the family.
However, Qin Xianfei couldn't find a word to refute Yang Fei's reasoning.
She stared wide-eyed at Yang Fei.
"Then, according to you, how should a person live their life?"
Yang Fei noticed a hint of hesitation in her gaze.
He chuckled, "Nothing more than following one's heart and desires, being happy is what matters."
He looked at Qin Xianfei with puzzlement and began to get up and dress.
"To follow one's heart and desires is to live as one wishes."
"Throw away everything that affects my mood, and knock down anyone who bothers or upsets me."
"Even if the next second is the end of the world, I'd still laugh and have hotpot first, then give that damned apocalypse a big middle finger!"
Qin Xianfei stared blankly at him, then suddenly laughed.
"If it's as you say, then there's nothing in this world you need to hold onto?"
Yang Fei's expression turned serious, "Of course, there is."
"The dignity of the country and nation, and the safety of millions of Huaxia citizens' lives and property, are worth any one of us defending with our lives."
He sighed as he said this.
"For me, besides those, there's no point in holding onto anything else."
In Qin Xianfei's eyes, there appeared a touch of admiration.
She sighed and shook her head.
"I guessed it right; you're a soldier, and one who carries out special missions."
This time, Yang Fei didn't deny it.
Qin Xianfei was afraid Wen Xiaoxiao would find out about her and Yang Fei, and dared not stay in Yang Fei's room for long.
She took advantage of the time before Wen Xiaoxiao woke up, put on Yang Fei's large camo T-shirt, and sneaked out.
As Qin Xianfei just left Yang Fei's room, she suddenly froze.
In the apartment's living room, an elderly man sat upright.
His impeccably tailored black tailcoat and golden tie clip, with styled hair, made him appear as a dignified and elegant gentleman.
However, at this moment, his gaze was filled with sharpness, fixed firmly on Qin Xianfei.
Qin Xianfei couldn't help but shrink back.
Her two pale legs bore obvious bruises, dressed in a man's T-shirt, her hair in disarray, her cheeks still flushed.
All signs pointed to the outrageous events of the previous night.
"Dad... Why are you here?"
Qin Xianfei sighed weakly, covering her chest with both hands.
The elder's piercing gaze seemed to stab into the depths of Qin Xianfei's soul.
Through clenched teeth, he spat out a sentence.
"Tell me, who is the man in the room?"
Although Qin Xianfei was proud, she was still afraid of this awe-inspiring Patriarch of the Qin Family.
"There's no one else in the room..."
The elder sneered, "Do you want me to catch you in the act with him?"
"I'll ask again, who is the man in the room?"
Under her father's accumulated authority, Qin Xianfei never dared to talk back to him.
However, at this moment, she found courage from somewhere and suddenly raised her head.
"Dad, I'm already twenty-five years old, please don't interfere with my private life."
"Also, breaking into my place without my permission is against the law."
Snap!
The furious elder threw a stack of photos at Qin Xianfei's feet.
"You think it's me monitoring you? Your fiancé Ding Zimo has been watching you all along."
Qin Xianfei trembled, squatted down, and picked up one of the photos from the ground, her face instantly changed.
The stack of photos on the ground featured only two people, one was Qin Xianfei, and the other was Yang Fei.
They were talking affectionately, walking arm-in-arm, chasing and laughing...
The angles of the photos were cleverly chosen, making it clear at a glance that Qin Xianfei and Yang Fei shared an unusual relationship.
The most terrifying were the last few images, shockingly capturing Yang Fei embracing Qin Xianfei, entangled in the room.
These photos were obviously taken by a hidden camera.
Qin Xianfei was completely stunned, only lifting her head after a long while.
"So Ding Zimo actually secretly monitored me?"
The elder's expression was as still as water, and he sighed.
"The loan we arranged with the Ding Family was on the condition of your engagement with Ding Zimo."
"If you obediently marry into the Ding Family, that loan is the bride price."
"But if you play tricks, that life-saving money will have to be repaid ten times over."
"The aid from the Ding Family amounts to five billion, meaning we'll have to repay 50 billion."
His eyes turned colder as he spoke.
"Qin Xianfei, how do you expect me to face the Ding Family?"
Qin Xianfei's face grew even paler.
"Dad, this has been Ding Zimo's trap from the start."
"He failed to win me over, so he deliberately used this method to blackmail us; we don't need to pay attention to him."
"You fool!"
The elder shouted angrily, standing up and pointing at Qin Xianfei's forehead, trembling with rage.
"You can even utter such shameless words?"
"If we don't repay this money, these photos..."
"These photos will be exposed to the public, your reputation will be ruined, and the Qin Family will be doomed!"
