Xingtian, when you were Mo Hua, you should have understood how much I fear getting hurt. You said you wouldn’t hurt me, so what are you doing now?"
"I didn’t hurt you, I just want to be with you! If you agreed to be with me, how could I treat you ? Do you remember what I said to you before, I said I would give you one last chance to choose me, and you refused! An Ruo, it was you who refused the last chance, so I had no choice but to do this to you."
An Ruo was speechless, was that even a choice?
Anyway, the answer he wanted had to be to choose him.
"Xingtian, please let me go, I beg you, okay? I swear, after I leave, I won’t reveal your whereabouts, I won’t say anything, no one will know about you." She pleaded with him.
Xingtian slightly furrowed his brows, he walked up to her, squatted down, and placed his hands on either side of her.
"Do you think I won’t let you go because I’m afraid you’ll leak my information? An Ruo, how can you not understand my heart, I won’t let you go because I can’t bear to, I want to be with you. I’m not a coward afraid of death, even if the fact that I’m alive gets out, Tang Yuchen wouldn’t dare to act rashly. If I’m alive, both he and Lan Keren would be doomed."
An Ruo opened her eyes wide in shock, how did he know that?
Indeed, Tang Yuchen said before, if he didn’t eliminate him, people above would suspect he and Lan Keren were in league with Xingtian, and they wouldn’t let them off.
So even knowing he’s alive, Tang Yuchen and Lan Keren would strive to cover up this news.
Seeing her thoughts, Xingtian explained, "Don’t be surprised, I know everything. If I didn’t know these things, how could I have survived until today."
The man’s tone was calm, yet it unintentionally revealed an air of arrogant authority.
He was a formidable character, able to figure out everything, seeing through it all. Yet his heart was complicated, no one could see through it.
"Really can’t let me go?" An Ruo asked in despair.
Xingtian smiled slightly, "The wedding will be held soon, cheer up. Be with me, I’ll make you very happy. Tang Yuchen always hurt you before, I will make up for all your pain and make you the happiest woman in the world."
"The happiness you offer, I cannot afford." An Ruo replied coldly and firmly.
The man’s hand suddenly clenched tightly, a shadow passed over his eyes beneath the mask.
"An Ruo, let me tell you this. Today, no matter what, you have to have the wedding with me. Even if you have ten thousand unwilling reasons, you cannot refuse."
An Ruo reached out her left hand, unexpectedly caressing his cheek, the man was stunned, forgetting to react.
She looked at him, with a sad curve to her lips, and said, "Xingtian, you know, I lost my parents when I was young. Xiao Ji and I lived at Uncle’s house, always leading a life of dependency. Later, Uncle sold me to Tang Yuchen for profit, at that time I was too stubborn, Tang Yuchen was too ruthless, so I got hurt a lot."
"Later on, my cousin An Xin plotted to kill me, I almost died. And I found out my parents’ death was all caused by Uncle, I realized that for so many years he never truly treated us well. My life isn’t even halfway over, yet the hurt I’ve endured is more than many people experience in a lifetime."
