That tone was full of disdain.
"Bai Xiangxiang." It was the first time he had called her name, and Bai Xiangxiang suddenly thought it sounded very pleasant. However, it lacked any trace of emotion, cold to the point that her heart felt a spasm.
Pei Qinghan looked over, his eyes unfocused as he gazed in her direction.
It was as if he was looking at her and yet not, this uncertainty causing her heart to flip erratically as if hovering in mid-air, unable to land.
"You’re thinking too much, and your ambition is too great. I’m sorry, but what you desire is beyond what I can give. Look elsewhere for your aspirations."
"No...." Bai Xiangxiang clung desperately to his hand. "Qinghan, you don’t understand how much I love you. In this world, only I am the woman who loves you most. Have you forgotten who I am? Have you forgotten our past? How can you treat me this way?"
Pei Qinghan withdrew his hand lightly, his voice cool as he asked, "Must I love you just because you love me? How presumptuous. Moreover, I don’t remember anything happening between us. If you’ve misunderstood something, then I’m sorry, but all I can say is,"
Bai Xiangxiang stared fixedly at his mouth.
"Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else."
As if all strength had drained from her, Bai Xiangxiang stumbled backward in shock, tears streaming rapidly down her face, "You can’t... Qinghan, you can’t treat me . You must’ve hurt your head and forgotten everything, but that’s alright, as long as I remember. Don’t worry, Qinghan, I’ll take good care of you from now on..."
Pei Qinghan, with an irritated pinch to the bridge of his nose, said, "Yuesheng, take her away. I don’t want to see her again."
"Yes." Yuesheng looked coldly at Bai Xiangxiang and commanded towards the door, "Come in."
Two men in black entered.
"Take this woman away and forbid her from approaching Master Pei."
Upon receiving their orders, the two men in black approached to drag Bai Xiangxiang away. She lashed out in fury, "Get lost, don’t touch me."
With her vision blurred by tears, she looked at Pei Qinghan. "Qinghan, why are you doing this to me? In what way am I not good enough? I can change, please, I’m begging you, don’t send me away...."
Pei Qinghan closed his eyes briefly, his expression showing impatience.
Yuesheng bellowed, "What are you standing there for? Get her out!"
The two men, ignoring her screams and shouts, forcibly dragged her out. Bai Xiangxiang’s cries of despair echoed in his ears until they faded away to nothing.
Pei Qinghan felt a headache coming on. Yuesheng quickly helped him to lie down. He was about to say something, but seeing Pei Qinghan’s pale complexion, he held his tongue.
Although he didn’t know who it was, he was certain that person was definitely not Bai Xiangxiang. Just because of a butterfly hairpin, he had tolerated a woman bewitching him for so long. It seemed the forgotten person must have been very important to him.
The harder Pei Qinghan tried to remember, the more his head hurt, a vicious cycle.
He couldn’t help but sigh softly and, without realizing it, fell asleep again.
"Aunt Die, Yun Ya and I are truly in love. You’re her respected elder, and if we can’t have your blessing, Yun Ya won’t be happy. I know you might have some misunderstandings about me, but I can assure you, I would never, ever hurt Yun Ya. I will care for and cherish her for the rest of my life. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning."
The young man’s voice was firm, his eyes bright, the tall figure standing there like a mountain: upright and majestic.
He was like the sun, radiating light and warmth, making those who lived in Hell long for what he had.
Undoubtedly, he was a very impressive young man.
In terms of appearance, family background, abilities, or character, he was one in a million.
"Hmph, if a man’s word can be trusted, then a sow might climb a tree." Ji Die was still not appeased, thinking, "My family’s young beauty...just slept with by you like that, it’s simply..." so infuriating she could almost vomit blood.
Yan Song was very patient. "Aunt Die, a thousand empty words are worth less than one action. I will prove it with my actions in the future." Official source is NoveI[F]ire.net
"Enough, enough, I can’t control you young people’s matters. I’m just going to ask you one thing, have you really done anything with my young miss?" Ji Die’s primary concern was still that matter.
Yan Song’s ears turned a bit red as he shook his head, "She’s still young, I wouldn’t hurt her."
Ji Die regarded him suspiciously, "You better not be lying to me."
Yan Song replied helplessly, "Aunt Die, why would I lie to you? I truly do not wish to hurt Yun Ya."
"Well, then, I’ll tentatively believe you for now. But remember your words, because if I find out you’ve done anything untoward, you can forget about seeing Yaya ever again."
