Chapter 426: The Truth
"If you’re worried that I might kill myself after knowing everything, rest assured, I won’t give in to such foolishness! For Xiao Nian’s sake, I will keep living." Xiaoqiao made herself clear to Leng Tou without any hesitation.
Perhaps because she was thought to be blind, the ever-stoic Leng Tou, whose true emotions rarely surfaced, was now clearly hesitating and struggling, making her even more certain that there were secrets to be unveiled.
Finally, Leng Tou seemed to have made up his mind, "Let’s find a place to talk."
Leng Tou took her to his office and poured her a cup of tea.
Leng Jing didn’t follow them in, patiently waiting outside.
Leng Tou walked to the window and stood in silence for a while, gazing absentmindedly at the traffic below, "Actually, he had never known about your origins, until that day when Qin Yao called him out, revealing you are Huo Yandong’s daughter, and providing plenty of evidence, including a paternity test certificate."
"It was after that day’s return that he started to distance himself from you, not knowing how to face you, unable to accept that the woman he loved the most was the daughter of his enemy!"
"Of course, he didn’t fully trust Qin Yao, he had been gathering evidence to prove it himself during that time!"
Xiaoqiao had long suspected this, and now she finally confirmed it from Leng Tou’s words.
Recalling his varied demeanor during that time, his abrupt mood shifts, his pain, it all made sense now...
