i loved you so much

Chapter 16: You Don't Need to Be Strong in Love (2)
Li Xiao'an stretched out a finger and hooked it, An Xiaoduo was grabbed by him just as he bent down, she immediately lost her balance and fell on top of him.

Li Xiaoan raised her chin, her eyes were filled with a smile, but there was no warmth, as if immersed in cold water: "It's about your father."

An Xiaoduo trembled: "What happened to him?"

Li Xiaoan lowered his head, and ran over her lips hard, An Xiaoduo asked while hiding, "What's wrong with my father? Tell me."

"He killed himself."

An Xiaoduo was completely stunned, her mind roaring: "Impossible, impossible..."

Her hair was messed up during the evasion just now, Li Xiaoan kindly tucked the hair sticking to her face behind her ears, and said patiently: "The phone call from the warden will never be followed I'm joking."

"No, no—" An Xiaoduo rolled out of his arms in panic, searching for her bag and her mobile phone with nothing in her image...

Calling up Wang Jian's number from the contact person, her limbs were cold, and she couldn't touch her fingers no matter what, Li Xiaoan reached out and pressed it for her: "It's good to check it, so I don't make a mistake."

The beeps of waiting were extremely long, and she seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. If what Li Xiaoan said was true, then her father was too cruel to her.She just went to see him a few days ago, and he died in a blink of an eye. What is that?What is it?

The moment the other party connected, An Xiaoduo's voice and body trembled: "My father, he..."

The other party seemed to have guessed her intentions before picking up the phone, and lowered his voice and said, "Sorry, I'm on leave for a few days, and I didn't know until this afternoon..."

The phone fell straight from her hand, Li Xiaoan caught it quickly, smiled kindly, and put it back to her ear: "Listen."

"...Fortunately, the rescue was in time. Although I didn't see it, but after asking, he should be fine. Don't worry too much..."

An Xiaoduo's legs went limp and she plopped down on the ground.

In just two sentences, she seemed to have gone to hell.

Li Xiaoan cut the line and threw the phone away: "Do you know why he refuses to see you? Do you think I'm threatening him?"

An Xiaoduo's drooping long eyelashes trembled.

"It's his wishful thinking, thinking that as long as he doesn't see you, I will let you go. You said, how can he be so naive after living a long life?"

An Xiaoduo covered her face, tears streaming down her eyes.

Li Xiaoan took out a handkerchief, pulled her hand away, and carefully wiped the tears on her cheeks.He is a good lover, impeccable in every move.

However, An Xiaoduo saw the cruel smile on his lips.

"What do you want? He would rather die than live in it, please show kindness and let him go."

"Let him go? Then who will let my Yuan Yuan go? Huh?"

An Xiaoduo closed her eyes in pain, two forces in her heart were tugging at each other, as if they were about to tear her body in half, Dad... I can't take it anymore.

She wanted to tell Li Xiao'an that the person who kidnapped Yuan Yuan was not her father, but someone else, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly thought of—why did her father commit suicide?At this juncture, why did he die so resolutely?Was it because she was afraid that she would reveal that there was a woman behind the kidnapping?Is it because he is afraid that the case that has already been settled will be reopened?Was it because he was afraid that he would no longer be able to protect that woman?So he wanted to use such a tragic way to end everything and bury everything.Thinking of this, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, she couldn't say it, she couldn't say it out, this was a secret her father would rather die to keep, but what should she do?

The man next to her stood up, she looked up at him, and the time was reversed, back to the night before the trial that year, he was so lofty, he was a god, but it was not that he was without love, he had given unreservedly She, cared for her so carefully.

She looked at him stupidly, and stretched out a hand unconsciously, as if she wanted to catch the happiness that slipped out of her fingers, but just as her fingers touched the corner of his clothes, a rush of bells alarmed her at the same time. two people.

All eyes fell on the ringing mobile phone, and the caller's name was clearly displayed on the screen - Qiao Ke.

Li Xiaoan's eyes turned cold, and he stepped on it, but this foot landed on the back of An Xiaoduo's hand.

Li Xiaoan's eyes became colder and colder.

With the ringtone, the phone was still vibrating, An Xiaoduo's hand was on the phone, feeling its persistence.

"I have to spend money to buy it if I step on it." She explained lightly.

Li Xiaoan bent down to pick it up, pressed the hands-free button, and Qiao Ke's voice suddenly resounded in the small room: "Xiaoduo, Wang Jian is going to be transferred, this kid is really secretive, I will go back to go through the resignation procedures in the afternoon." Only then did I get wind of—"

Wang Jian is Qiao Ke's childhood friend, who happened to be in charge of the prison where her father was. When her father was imprisoned, she went to visit her several times, but his father refused to see her.In desperation, she found Wang Jian through Qiao Ke, and sent him a regular sum of money every month. The purpose of the money was tacit, and she always sent as much as possible. She only hoped that Wang Jian would take more care of his father.Wang Jian also tried his best. If his father had any headaches, he would ask the prison doctor to see him as soon as possible, and occasionally let her know about his father's situation.

"Hey, are you listening, Xiaoduo?"

"I'm listening." She could only reply.

"Don't worry, just leave as soon as you leave, let's think of a way, there are so many prison guards, we can always find someone who is willing to help."

Li Xiao'an sneered silently, An Xiaoduo suddenly felt desperate, she tried to make her voice more natural: "Got it, Qiao Ke, I still have something to do, let's talk about it later."

"Oh, okay."

The room became quiet again, An Xiaoduo tentatively asked: "Is it your intention to transfer Wang Jian away?"

"He was looking everywhere for a transfer, and I just helped him secretly."

An Xiaoduo nodded. She should have thought earlier that her father was a prisoner who was "focused on". In the past two years, Wang Jian has been passing on his father's recent situation in the middle. How could he not know it because he has so many eyes and ears?It was his greatest kindness to her that he forbeared before.

"You do this to prevent me from getting any news from my father at all?"

"That's right, not only him, no matter who you find in the future, he will become the second Wang Jian. I want to see how capable Qiao Ke is."

At this time, a new text message came in on his mobile phone. He took it out and took a look, then turned and walked towards the door.

"I just want to know how my father is inside, I can't do anything..." She looked at his back and murmured.

"From now on, you will have another chance to know his recent situation, and that is when he dies." He said this lightly, and slammed the door and left.

"boom--"

Her body was like the door that was slammed mercilessly, shaking violently, and limp on the ground, her heart was terribly empty, and the autumn wind poured in, whistling.She knew he was serious and that what he said always meant what he said.

There was a dead silence all around.

After a while, she crawled over on hands and feet, picked up the phone, sat on the ground and flipped through the address book, swiping her fingers over one name after another.For the first time, she hated her social imbecility. She has been in Wucheng for so many years, but she has known very limited people. Except for those who have good friendships, others are just names to her. I don't know what kind of job I'm in, let alone ask someone for help.

Suddenly, she paused - the word Tang Junnian came into view, she hesitated for a few seconds, and finally dialed it.

After listening to her explaining her intentions, Tang Junnian said in an apologetic tone, "Xiaoduo, don't say I'm in Zurich now, even if I'm in Wucheng, it's not convenient for me to interfere in this matter. You and I know Xiao'an's temper well. If you interfere with this matter again, your father's situation will only get worse."

An Xiaoduo opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.Tang Junnian's words made it impossible for her to refute, yes, she begged Tang Junnian only because she was insane, it was her and Li Xiaoan's business, if she brought other people in, it would only annoy him in the end.

After finishing the call, she stood up slowly, her legs were numb, and her feet seemed to be on a pile of needles.She moved to the sofa and lay on her back, feeling disheartened for a while.She tried her best to meet her father, and tried to trick him out of the real culprit, but it seemed to be of no use at all, and she was still stuck in a deadlock.

That night, she called Li Xiaoan, but he waited for a long time before answering. The background was noisy, mixed with women's playfulness.

"Is it convenient to say a few words?"

"What if I say it's inconvenient?"

"I can call later."

Li Xiaoan smiled: "You can tell."

An Xiaoduo was sitting on the edge of the bed. She had just washed her hair and hadn't dried it yet. The water dripped continuously: "Which hospital did they send my father to? I want to see him."

Li Xiaoan laughed: "I don't know about this, why don't you go to the prison and ask?"

"They won't tell me." An Xiaoduo bit her lip, "I don't know how to talk to him, just take a look at the door, please ask for me..."

Before she finished speaking, a female voice interrupted abruptly: "Xiao'an, who is calling...Hello? Hello?"

An Xiaoduo's heart turned cold, it was Qin Zheng's voice, and what made it hard for her to accept was that he actually handed Qin Zheng the phone!
After a moment of silence, An Xiaoduo tried her best to calm down her tone: "Please return the phone to him."

"An Xiaoduo?" Qin Zheng laughed, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to take it, but he suddenly stuffed the phone into my hand, so I had no choice but to take it."

"Give him your phone, please." An Xiaoduo repeated.

"He went out, or you'll call back later?" Qin Zheng's laughter was gloating, "Then I'll hang up, Bye."

An Xiaoduo slumped on the quilt, she had come to a dead end, but deep down in her heart she still had a ridiculous hope that she had nothing, and the bet was only that he couldn't bear her.

The next morning, she was woken up by the alarm clock. She sat up suddenly and spun around for a while. She didn't dare to move, and closed her eyes to endure the wave of dizziness.She fell asleep on the quilt last night, the night at the end of October was quite cool, plus she slept with her hair still wet, it's no wonder she didn't catch a cold.

She opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a white and black board from inside, took a piece of white and threw it into her mouth, frowning, she picked up the boiled water on the table and poured it into her stomach. The pill rushed into the mouth of the throat, but the smell of the medicine came up as soon as he swallowed it.She covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom to spit it all out. The half-dissolved white pill stuck in the sink seemed to be mocking her. Her face was covered with tears, but she couldn't help but smiled wryly.

She's so stupid that she can't even swallow a pill.Looking up, she saw a pale face reflected in the mirror. She thought to herself: Why is it so ugly? It is not too late to make up your mind to seduce people until now, and I don't know if they will accept it.

At nine o'clock, she called He Bixi and told her that she wanted to take a day off due to urgent business, and He Bixi readily agreed.

After hanging up the line, she started to tidy herself up. First, she made a facial mask. This mask was given to her by He Bixi. It was in the shape of a transparent jelly with rose petals in the middle. It is said that it is very useful for emergency after staying up late.She applied it for more than 20 minutes to wash it off, and the effect was really good. The skin was plumped up and looked not so haggard.

She doesn't dare to put on makeup, Li Xiaoan hates the smell of makeup, he likes her without makeup, but she has self-knowledge, what he likes is her previous without makeup, not the current one.

Find a white silk skirt from the bottom of the closet. She hasn't worn it for a long time. The fabric itself is easy to wrinkle, and there are many fine creases on the skirt, but now she doesn't care about it anymore, and took it away. water, dry with a hair dryer, and put on your body.The skirt still fit her well, and she couldn't help but be thankful that her figure wasn't out of shape.

Everything was ready, she went downstairs with her bag and took a taxi to the law firm.

Thinking of facing him soon, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, what should she say when she saw him?When she walked into the building, she was still pondering over the lines in her mind, and she was not very satisfied. Then she thought that it didn't matter what she said, because no matter what she said, his attitude towards her would be the same.

Just as he was comforting himself, the elevator door dinged and opened.

Just as she was about to go in, she suddenly met the eyes of the people in the elevator, and her body froze immediately, as if being acupunctured, unable to move.

Wu Lixuan looked embarrassed, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at the person beside him.
