Fear

She didn't ask about politics, but it was obvious from her father's frown that he was very melancholic because of Mark's suppression.

Lina had been trying her best to adjust her mental state. Usually, when she saw Mark, she pretended to be calm, but she would feel uneasy every time.

She had thought that Mark did not know about this operation, so she was just nervous.

However, Qiao Nian said that Mark knew their every move. She couldn't help but resist, because the trauma Mark had brought her was too great.

Qiao Nian listened to Lina talk about the past and gently hugged her.

Lina's body trembled slightly, as if she was still afraid of Mark.

Qiao Nian patted Lina's back gently. If she had known that Lina was so afraid of Mark, she wouldn't have brought Lina over to prevent her from being hurt.

"Lina, it's all my fault this time. If only I had told you earlier." Qiao Nian gently pushed Lina's shoulder away and looked at her intently.
