He suddenly pinched her chin and growled through gritted teeth, "An Ruo, I warn you, don’t try to infuriate me! Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences yourself!"
"Let go, I’m short on time, and I don’t want to waste words with you. If you want to proceed, go by yourself!" An Ruo impatiently tried to push his chest, but Tang Yuchen took advantage of the situation to grab her wrist and forcefully drew her into his arms.
"Don’t you want to know how your parents died?" he asked softly, holding her waist and narrowing his eyes.
An Ruoxin’s heart skipped a beat. Could there really be more to her parents’ deaths?
But they obviously died in a car accident.
The police had declared it an accidental death. If there were any conspiracy, it would surely have been uncovered.
Besides, it had been eleven years since the incident. What could he possibly find?
An Ruo assumed that this was just a fabrication by Tang Yuchen, designed to lure her into compliance with his wishes.
She wasn’t going to fall for his trick.
"Sorry, I don’t want to know." Her demeanor showed not a hint of curiosity. She truly did not want to know.
Tang Yuchen smiled faintly, "You unfilial daughter, don’t you want to avenge your parents?"
"I said, I don’t want to know. It’s been many years since they died, Tang Yuchen, please respect them and don’t use them to threaten me," An Ruo said coldly.
"Do you think I’m deceiving you?"
"...Even if it’s true, I don’t need you to tell me!" She would investigate herself. No matter how many years it took, she could find out on her own.
Seeing her determination, Tang Yuchen said disdainfully, "Do you think you can find out? An Ruo, apart from the murderer confessing, the only person who could uncover the truth is me. If you try, you won’t get results even in a hundred years!"
An Ruo laughed scornfully, "Don’t flatter yourself too much. I don’t believe that something you can uncover, no one else can. Tang Yuchen, don’t be too confident. Know that there’s always someone better out there and that there’s always a higher sky. Overconfidence can turn you into a peacock."
The man was so furious he gritted his teeth. When had she become so difficult to handle?
In the past, a simple threat from him would make her obediently comply. This bait, by all means, should have been even more persuasive, yet she wasn’t taking it at all!
What he didn’t know was that for An Ruo, the most important thing was the people who were still alive.
In the past, he used An Ji to threaten her. She couldn’t bear her brother getting hurt, so she would comply time after time. But her parents had been dead for years, and even if the truth was revealed, they wouldn’t come back to life.
So, the truth could wait to be uncovered. It wasn’t an urgent matter.
Seeing his face turn ashen, An Ruo remained indifferent, "Your threats don’t work on me. Can you let me go now?"
"Think you can leave? Not a chance!" he exclaimed, tightening his embrace around her waist, lifting her body, and striding to the vanity table before pushing her to sit down.
"You must go through with the wedding today, or I’ll break your bones!" he threatened fiercely. An Ruo frowned in disgust and struggled to get up, but the man held her shoulders down with a heavy force.
"Why are you ! I don’t want to have a wedding with you, why do you insist on forcing me?"
It couldn’t be more normal for An Ruo to say these words.
But somehow, Tang Yuchen felt a nerve being struck, suddenly feeling like he was acting despicably.
Yun Feixue was clamoring and fussing about marrying him, yet he was not moved in the
