Chapter 315: A Step Too Late
Sun Zhilan screamed in pain and sobbed in devastation.
But regardless of how much she cried or blamed herself, the youth in her arms remained motionless and her eyes remained closed.
In that instant, the illusion around Qin Yi’s body disappeared. Her Adam’s apple disappeared. Her appearance became more gentle and graceful. She turned back into a girl.
It dispelled the similar features of Qin Mian, but there were even more similarities with Sun Zhilan at her brows. With this, one look and everyone could tell that they were family.
But the Qin family members did not care about this. Qin Mian was tearing up as he looked at his wife and the daughter that they finally met yet had left them. This staunch and strong-headed man was finally crying.
He walked over and hugged Sun Zhilan. “Zhilan, the floor is cold. Let us bring our Baobao home first, okay?”
Qin Mian did not have any other ideas and only wished to bring his wife and daughter home. The cold and strong man had suddenly aged over a decade and was no longer able to hide the fatigue beneath his eyes.
Sun Zhilan was in a daze as she hugged Qin Yi and was unwilling to let go. “Go home, yes, let’s go home. We should bring Baobao home. Big brother Mian, do you think Baobao will like the room we prepared for her?”
Qin Mian noticed the anomaly in Sun Zhilan and held back his tears as he replied gently, “Of course, Baobao will like it.”
Qin Hanyu stood there, not knowing what to do. Qin Yi’s blood was on his hands. He was at a loss as to what had happened. He merely wanted to prevent Qin Yi from suffering. Why did he harm her?
When he saw the lifeless Qin Yi in his mother’s embrace, Qin Hanyu suddenly recalled the first time when he and Qin Yi met at the Cool Breeze Stronghold.
At that time, Qin Yi was dressed as a girl and he could not forget the pair of blazing phoenix eyes. They were intense like flames and enchanting as red spider lilies that drew people into her eyes.
The lively young lady whose frown and every smile were charismatic was actually his own sister, but before she could even call him big brother, she had left.
At this moment, Qin Hanyu’s heart was filled with endless pain. He should not have stopped her. So what if she killed Qin Jiaojiao? She was his sister, Qin Hanyu’s younger sister. Even if he had to stop the heavens, he would do so.
But this enlightenment was too late. The heavens were that cruel. Regardless of how much pain Qin Hanyu felt or how much Sun Zhilan cried, the girl that closed her eyes was gone.
“Baobao, Baobao, let us go home.” Qin Mian carried his daughter that he had yet to take a good look at as his tall stature sobbed.
But before he could walk, the person in his embrace was taken away. Yun Huan had appeared.
Yun Huan’s eyes were cold as he gently caressed the person’s absolutely beautiful face as his fingers trembled. He muttered, “You liar, didn’t we agree that I’ll wait for you? Why didn’t you come and find me?”
The girl in his arms remained silent as though she was asleep.
“Hey, Qiqi, can you wake up? I haven’t told you that I love you.”
A teardrop dropped from Yun Huan’s eyes; his heart was filled with grief. He was too late; he was too late.
Snowflakes gently floated down from the sky, sparkling and translucent
Yun Huan carried Qin Yi and remained stationary like a statue. When Chen Yaping saw the scene from the crowd, she could not endure and sobbed. Although they only conversed for a few days, it felt like she had lost the most important thing and her heart felt empty.
‘What if, what if she had immediately rushed out? What if she had given chase right away? Would the lively youth that teased her, would the youth still look at her gently and call her ‘Ping Zi?”
Snow continued to fall but was unable to conceal the cries, despair, and pain.
