"Song Song, I understand how scared you must feel now, but thankfully, it was just a scare; you're safe now."
Qin Yinan was still busy consoling her. His tone was as gentle and caring as ever. It had once been the sound that Song Qingchun loved most in the world. Her heart would move whenever she heard it, but now, her face was unaffected. She appeared to be listening to Qin Yinan, but in reality, his words had fallen on deaf ears. If anything, she found his incessant words rather distracting. Song Qingchun's gaze alternatively fell on the water bottle Su Zhinian passed her earlier and the door to her own office.
Su Zhinian soon exited her office with her bag and coat in his grasp. Song Qingchun's eyes that had glanced toward her door for who knows how many times now immediately glued themselves to Su Zhinian.
"This is just a passing nightmare, Song Song. Don't fixate on it. Now that I think about it, the incident during New Year's Eve might be done by this man as well. You have to bring that up with the police officers later so that they can close the case on both."
It was this point that Qin Yinan realized Song Qingchun had been blanking out on him. Song Qingchun tilted her head and seemed to look past him, enraptured by something behind him.
Qin Yinan raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, calling, "Song Song?"
Song Qingchun didn't respond to him in any way other than moving her head away to avoid his hand and continue looking in that direction.
Qin Yinan also turned around to follow her gaze. Before he could understand what had attracted her attention so, he heard her sweet voice say, "Have you got everything?"
Qin Yinan then realized that Song Qingchun had been looking at Su Zhinian. He immediately stood up to greet Su Zhinian one more time. "CEO Su."
Su Zhinian nodded at Qin Yinan expressionlessly before turning his head away quickly to address Song Qingchun. "Here."
Then Su Zhinian passed Song Qingchun her bag.
Right then, the two policemen who had answered the call had finished taken all the statements. The officer who had talked to Song Qingchun earlier walked over to say as a reminder, "Have you gathered all of your belongings? Can we go to the station now?"
"I'm sorry for making you wait, yes, we can go now." Song Qingchun placed the water bottle back on the table. She stood up, and before she could grab the coat from Su Zhinian's hands, the man covered her with it and even half-bent to help her fasten the coat buttons one by one.
The whole office's eyes were on them, but Su Zhinian conducted this series of action like they were in private.
After a long while, Song Qingchun's ears started to burn. She didn't stop him but stood there as if frozen. Her only movement was her eyes, which moved upward to stare at the man's beautiful face, only inches from away her.
An inexplicable warmth that she had not experienced for a long time swept through her body, giving her a sensation that she was being protected, cherished, and loved.
Song Qingchun's eyes that stared at Su Zhinian were calm, but her heart was quivering with emotions.
