In the capital, the phone in the study room of the Jin residence rang three times before cutting off.

Xiao Zhen paced around nervously and waited. He stared at his phone and answered the call the moment he received it. “Sir, the plan failed.”

“President Jin Yang lives with Qiu Tong and her children. He has already discovered our plan and has arranged for Shao An and his guards to be on standby.”

“Do you want me to continue with the plan? Please give me your instructions.”

Xiao Zhen straightened his back and waited for the other party’s order compliantly.

Jin Tao’s furrowed brows were reflected on the glass in the study room. He was silent for a long time before saying, “You can come back now.”

The call was cut off and Jin Tao received a photo document from Xiao Zhen.

He clicked on it and saw a blurry photo of Jin Yang and Qiu Tong playing with the children on the lawn.

Unbelievable! Jin Yang went to S City for them?

Jin Tao said to his assistant, “Book me a ticket to S City.”

…

The next morning, Jin Yang looked at Little Yu, who was playing alone in the living room. He looked around for Qiu Tong, but did not see her.

Little Yu pushed some toy blocks toward him. “Mommy got a call and went out!”

Jin Yang glanced at the clock on the wall in puzzlement. Who would ask to meet with Qiu Tong at eight or nine in the morning?

Qiu Tong arrived at the cafe at the appointed time. Jin Tao was already sitting in a corner booth. He nodded at Qiu Tong and pointed at the seat opposite him. “Thank you for coming all this way. What would you like to drink?”

He raised his hand to call for the service staff. Qiu Tong put down her bag and straightened her back warily. “Just give me a glass of water.”

Jin Tao and Jin Yang were indeed father and son. They looked very similar.

But this man in front of her was more mysterious than Jin Yang. Even though Qiu Tong was sitting opposite him and could feel a thick aura surrounding Jin Tao’s body. She could not guess his true thoughts and intentions. She gently stroked the rim of her glass, waiting for Jin Tao to speak.

“Jin Yang told me not long ago that he was coming to S City to stay for the long-term. I thought it was because of official business, but it seems like it’s because of you.”

Qiu Tong frowned and wanted to explain, but Jin Tao interrupted her.

“I have no intention of blaming you. Jin Yang is an adult. He has the right and freedom to choose his life partner.”

“Don’t think that I’m a traditional parent. I never believed that the president has to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official…”

“It’s just that I’m very curious what kind of woman can make him forget about the past. Seeing you today, I kind of understand. You’re indeed very similar to her. Not only your appearance, but also your aura. I also nearly mistook you for her…”

As Jin Tao spoke, Qiu Tong asked in confusion, “Who is she?”

“Didn’t Jin Yang mention her to you?”

Jin Tao held the teacup to his lips and took a sip. He appeared surprised. “Jin Yang had a fiancée a few years ago.”

“They were very much in love. They got engaged and were preparing for their wedding. But for some reason, they suddenly broke up. Jin Yang also sank into depression for a long time because of this. Even now, we don’t dare to talk about the past in front of him.”

“Fortunately, I have you to help him walk out of those painful memories. As his father, I need to thank you.”

Jin Tao put down his teacup and looked at Qiu Tong’s expression seriously.

He had a fiancée?!

Mixed emotions surged in Qiu Tong’s heart. She clenched her hand around the glass, the paleness of her knuckles revealing her true feelings.

Time passed minute by minute. Qiu Tong could not sit still and wanted to leave.

Jin Tao stood up with his usual expression and buttoned his jacket. “Can I ask you a favor as his father?”

“Don’t tell Jin Yang about our meeting today.”

“I don’t want him to misunderstand. I hope you understand.”

Qiu Tong nodded.

She left the cafe and sat in a nearby park for a long time.

Qiu Tong recalled all the details of her interactions with Jin Yang. Those images flashed across her mind like a movie in slow motion. Her heart felt like it had been pierced and a cold wind kept blowing through it, bringing endless pain.

It turned out that Jin Yang’s feelings and care for her was only because of another woman!

Night fell. Qiu Tong got up and went home. She stood at the entrance of the villa and looked at the lights inside before taking out her key.

When Jin Yang heard the sound of the door opening, he ran over and reached out to take Qiu Tong’s bag. “Why are you back so late?”

Qiu Tong looked up at him and instinctively avoided his touch. She said coldly, “Thank you.”

“I’m not feeling well. I am going to my room.”

Qiu Xingyuan laid on the sofa. Seeing Qiu Tong’s expression, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. He turned to look at Jin Yang and asked, “Did you make her angry?”

Jin Yang held up his hands in bewilderment. He also wanted to know what the problem was!

Qiu Xingyuan patted Little Yu’s shoulder and pointed to the bedroom on the second floor. “She likes you the most.. Go and ask her what happened.”
