Chapter 70: Act on Feelings

Long Mei gaped at Jin Qing's answer, wondering why he sounded almost concerned…

She had expected him to manipulate her to taunt her with his words, attempting to scare her. She'd seen all his treacherous and devious sides, but never this side before. 

And by looking at his face, he was serious. There was no scheming, no lies, no bad intentions in his voice and eyes. 

He was looking down; his features were soft, gentle—handsome. It was far from the Jin Qing she knew, and it unsettled her. 

Where was this Jin Qing all this time? 

Long Mei thought perhaps if she pretended to lose her memory, she'd find out it had been him who tried to kill her. His motive could have been out of jealous rage at what she and his half-brother were about to do. This is why Long Mei and Jin Hu were going to elope…but perhaps he knew nothing about the elopement after all?
