C126 Trust Him

Qiao Lin suddenly felt his face heat up, and the aroma of the coffee immediately spread through his nose. Qiao Zhicheng splashed the cup of fresh coffee in front of him on his face, and the brown coffee dripped down his hair and chin onto his white T-shirt.

The oppressive aura emanating from Qiao Zhicheng was so strong that the waiters in the shop did not dare to approach him.

Qiao Lin smiled lightly, took out a few napkins from the box on the table, and wiped his face, "Is the answer in your heart clear? I have already chosen to leave that house. This is obviously a good choice for everyone, but you refused to let me go and wanted to make things difficult for yourself. What else do you want me to do? Do you want to let me go because I don't exist in this world anymore? Do you want me to be free? "

"Qiao Lin." Qiao Zhicheng's attitude suddenly softened, "There's really no need for you and Dad to go through all this trouble. Don't forget that Dad used to love you too. What happened between your mother and me was my fault, and I know that you've been very unhappy since I brought you back to the Qiao family. Dad also wants to make it up to you and hope that you can live a good life on the right path, but why can't you listen to me? What do you get out of doing this with a man? Do you think he would have chosen to stay with you if it had been known that your relationship would affect his reputation and future?"

"Yes." Qiao Lin did not dare to imagine what would happen in the future. Now that someone had brought it up, he initially thought that he would lose his confidence. However, his trust in Qin Lang was far beyond his imagination.

He believed that Qin Lang's love for him was not just for show.

"Dad." Qiao Lin did not know how long it had been since he had called her by this unfamiliar name, which made him feel distant and unfamiliar at the same time, "I have never denied the love that you once had for me, and it's precisely because I've enjoyed a happy life with my family of three that I can't accept what happened after that. I don't want to say anything about you and Mom, and I don't know what happened between you two either. The happiness that you have brought me in the past is already too far away from me, and now that someone has brought this feeling to me, do you want to take it away from me again? If this is the way you want to love your son and make it up to me as a father, I'd rather not."

Qiao Zhicheng was shocked by Qiao Lin's words and looked at his son silently for a long time.

When Qin Lang and Aunt Liu sent Yu to school, it would only take them about ten minutes to get back and forth. However, when he saw Aunt Liu send Yu into the school, he suddenly changed his mind.

Ever since Qiao Lin had moved into his house, he had not had a good meal. He and Qiao Lin did not know how to cook at all, and Qiao Lin only knew how to make a simple breakfast and a bowl of noodles. He spent most of his time eating takeout, so today, while Aunt Liu was around, he decided to ask her to make a good meal for everyone to replenish their energy.

When Aunt Liu came out of kindergarten, he drove her to a nearby supermarket.

It was more than half an hour later when he and Aunt Liu returned home after shopping at the supermarket. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the shoes that Qiao Lin usually wore at the entrance were gone. He went to the living room to put down the groceries that he had just bought and went straight to Qiao Lin's bedroom. There was really no one in the room. There was still an empty bowl of porridge by the bed and the bed was a mess.

In the morning, he had helped Qiao Lin apply for a leave of absence. If he still insisted on going to the company, he would definitely call him to tell him. Besides, Qiao Lin was not a very lazy person. If he had a plan to go out, he would not have left the bowl here without cleaning it up. Besides, this person had been tortured by him several times last night and had an ache in his waist when he woke up this morning. In such a situation, he would not think of going out.

So, he was called away at the last minute? Who was the other party?

He quickly took out his phone and called Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin had just gotten out of the elevator when he received a call from Qin Lang. After Qiao Zhicheng had left the coffee shop, the waiter brought him a wet towel. He had wiped his hair clean, but the coffee stains on his clothes could not be wiped away.

He did not want Qin Lang to see him like this. He was about to turn around and go into the elevator to buy some clean clothes when the door to Qin Lang's house suddenly opened.

When Qin Lang returned home, he found that Qiao Lin was not around. He called him a few times but no one picked up. He decided to go out and look for him.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qiao Lin standing at the entrance of the elevator with his phone that was still ringing.

"Are you planning to stare at your phone and not answer my call?" Qin Lang hung up the phone and walked over.

Qiao Lin put away his phone and said, "I was about to pick up when I saw the door open."

As soon as he got closer, Qin Lang could smell the coffee on Qiao Lin's body. He could also clearly see the coffee stains on his white T-shirt and his half-dried hair.

Qin Lang went up to him and sniffed his head. Even his hair smelled strongly of coffee. "Didn't I tell you to lie down at home and wait for me to come back? Where did you go?"

"Would you believe it if I told you that I was going to have coffee and the waiter accidentally spilled it on me?" Qiao Lin tugged at his coffee-stained clothes and walked into the house.

Qin Lang followed closely behind him and pulled him back, "I don't believe it. Usually, you would only buy iced coffee and takeaway from a roadside beverage store. How could you have the time to go to a store and drink it today?"

In the past five years, even though the two of them had been strangers, Qin Lang was still very clear about Qiao Lin's preferences.

Qiao Lin scratched his head, feeling a headache coming on. He knew that he could not hide this matter from Qin Lang, and there was no need to hide it from him anymore. He pulled the man back into the room, "My coffee is sticky. Can you let me take a bath first?"

Qin Lang nodded, "Use the bathroom in my bedroom."

"Go and get me a change of clothes." Qiao Lin did not want to go back and forth as he was already feeling unwell, so he went straight to Qin Lang's room.

When Qin Lang went to Qiao Lin's bedroom to get his pajamas for him, Qiao Lin had already taken off his shirt. The purple marks on his lean body were still very obvious.

Before he went to the bathroom half-naked, he took out two cell phones from his pocket and placed them on the bedside cabinet. One of them was the one that Qiao Lin was using now, and the other one looked very old. However, Qin Lang had some impression of this model of phone - it was the one that Qiao Lin had used five years ago.

"This phone..."

Qiao Lin looked at the phone and smiled. He opened the SMS box and handed it to Qin Lang, "Do you want to take a look?"

Qin Lang took the phone and saw that the content of the text message inside was very familiar to him. Wasn't this what he had sent to Qiao Lin in the past?

"Sorry." Qiao Lin suddenly apologized to Qin Lang, "Five years ago, not long after you returned to school, my family found me and I had no choice but to return to that house. During that month or so, I was unable to contact the outside world and my phone was confiscated. Today, my father came to find me and returned my phone to me. He already knew about our relationship. I'm sorry that I only just saw the text messages you sent me."
