Chapter 1021: Gao Qilan

To be honest,

Gao Qilan has always been a cold exterior with a warm heart,

once,

that bowl of dumplings at the police station,

made Gao Qilan unconsciously obsessed with An Xin, and this obsession lasted over a decade,

even later,

when Gao Qiqiang and An Xin became adversaries,

both Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qilan knew that An Xin had repeatedly tried to kill Gao Qiqiang and completely dismantle the Gao family's power in Jinghai,

yet,

Gao Qilan's pure feelings toward An Xin never changed,

until finally,

Gao Qiqiang's career collapsed entirely,

the Gao family was ultimately destroyed in person by An Xin and his men,

Gao Qilan still felt gratitude and reverence for An Xin,

but as time passed,

Gao Qilan began to reflect on her past life,

and only then realized,

that her reverence and respect for An Xin had merely been the gratitude of a powerless person toward another's kindness,

this gratitude could have been directed at anyone else, not just An Xin,

then,

Gao Qilan finally understood that her feelings for An Xin were not love,

but merely youthful naivety,

so later,

Gao Qilan gradually came to understand herself, saw society more clearly, and wrapped herself in a hardened shell, building a strong fortress around her originally sensitive and fragile heart,

but Gao Qilan never expected,

just as her emotional cementing was nearly complete,

Qin Feng's sudden intrusion still disrupted her plan,

in Gao Qilan's world,

Qin Feng was like a giant mech, brutally smashing through her protective barriers,

then,

stared directly into Gao Qilan's vulnerable heart,

and, amid Gao Qilan's fear and terror, lifted her heart and placed it inside the mech.

At this moment,

Gao Qilan truly felt warmth, and understood what it meant to care and what love was,

so,

Gao Qilan finally let go of the past and truly fell for Qin Feng.
