Chapter 75
Jian Yao knew that going by herself was dangerous; she knew that the facts of the case were already just within reach. However, when she thought about how Bo Jinyan looked standing there talking about love, thought about how, the previous night, he had obstinately insisted that she return to Beijing first, a sense of pain, of being forsaken, surged in her chest, spurring her on to do something bold.
She wanted him to see that she could be successful in whatever she wanted to do.
——
“Found the suspect!”
An Yan’s cool yet strong voice resounded in the empty office.
Fang Qing and the others surrounded him. Only Bo Jinyan remained at his spot by the window. In his mind, finding the suspect was just a matter of time. Since they were unfamiliar with Xun City, An Yan could even be said to be slow.
It’s just that Jian Yao had gone downstairs a while ago and had not returned. He knew that she was even-tempered and rarely got angry or suffered from turbulent or fluctuating emotions. But what she had said just now had both wounded and melted his manly heart. Then, she had evaded him.
When a woman who was too tender lost her temper, even that was silent and distant.
Bo Jinyan touched the ring in his pocket. Cold, hard diamonds, protruding branches. From the time he had left her, he had not worn it, although he always carried it with him. He worried that he would drop it in carelessness or bump it against something. He feared that wearing it would mean he had a tangible reminder of his longing for her, and it would be difficult to dismiss it.
