Thinking about her mother's messages and their heartache-filled gazes, Cheng Qingchong held her breath and pleaded in a minute voice, "Please, just this once…"
As she said so, tears poured out of her eyes. As if afraid that he might see her tears, she quickly lowered her head.
Her tears fell on his shirt, and that wet stain seemed to carry a great force within it, knocking the breath out of Qin Yinan. His heart squeezed from perceived trauma, and the next second, he shoved Cheng Qingchong rudely away, causing her to stagger several steps back to introduce some distance between them. He then growled with immense anger, "Aren't you a woman of any sly means? Why do you need me? Since you've managed to keep me so dumbly cheated for so long, why can't you do the same to your mother? I repeat myself, I will not help you. Even if you get down on your knees to beg me, I will not help you, so you'd better give up while you still can!"
