Having said that, she lowered her gaze and asked, "Qin Yao, are you still working for... that person?"
"Yes." Qin Yao nodded.
Gong Xiaoqiao furrowed her brows, "He is not a good person."
"I know."
"Then why do you still follow him? Are you worried that Gu Hangshen will do something to me? You don't need to sacrifice yourself for me anymore; I have already caused you enough trouble!"
"Your words are enough for me."
"They are not!"
Qin Yao held her hand, comforting, "I will listen to you, but please, give me some more time."
"I can take care of my own matters."
Qin Yao gave a bitter smile, "Xiaoqiao, why won't you try to rely on me?"
She looked at him, "Rely on? Because I don't want to harm you. Ever since I was little, whoever I relied on ended up unlucky. I relied on my mother, and she died, I relied on my grandfather, and he almost got infuriated to death by Gong Zhiming, I relied on Gu Hangshen, and both his parents died..."
