"If Mr. Leng can let me go, I naturally won’t have any other thoughts." Lin Yixun’s arm was restrained, and she frowned in pain but pretended to be relaxed. "I don’t know what brings Mr. Leng all the way here?"
The man’s grip loosened slightly but did not let go of her. He said in a deep voice, "Stay away from Ying’er from now on."
Lin Yixun suddenly laughed. No wonder Leng Yixiu came to this "remote area" of hers; it turned out he was here to stand up for Cheng Ying. Indeed, as someone like Leng Yixiu, a favored one of heaven, he wouldn’t pay any attention to her if it weren’t for Cheng Ying.
"Actually, even without Mr. Leng’s reminder, I would stay away from Miss Cheng." Lin Yixun smiled faintly and struggled hard. "Mr. Leng, I have agreed to your request. Can you let me go now?"
The man gave a cold snort and abruptly let her go.
Lin Yixun rubbed her aching wrist, thinking that this man indeed used a lot of force; even without looking, she knew her wrist must be bruised.
"Mr. Leng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head up. Make yourself at home." She didn’t want to stay here a second longer.
She turned around indifferently, but at that moment, the man’s icy voice came from behind, "Lin Yixun, how about being my woman?"
Lin Yixun’s steps halted sharply. She thought she was hallucinating, but she realized every word from the man was clearly entering her ears.
How ridiculous, one moment he was causing her trouble for another woman, and now he wanted her to be his woman?
The fingers hidden under her sleeves slowly tightened. Lin Yixun wanted to turn around and slap him hard. What did he take her for, a prostitute for everyone?
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the hatred in her heart, turned her gaze to Leng Yixiu behind her, and smiled faintly, "Sorry Mr. Leng, I’m not interested in being your woman."
"Really?" The man suddenly laughed, mocking, "Playing hard to get?"
Lin Yixun only felt the man in front of her was incurably arrogant. "Mr. Leng, I admit, I did like you before, even loved you. But people’s hearts can change. I don’t like you anymore. You should know when a woman falls in love with someone, that person is her whole world, but once she stops loving, that person is nothing. Mr. Leng, you mean nothing to me now!"
"Nothing to you, huh!"
Suddenly, the man grabbed her collar and lifted her off the ground. His long, narrow eyes were locked on Lin Yixun, and the air around them grew colder and colder, making her feel chills to the bone. Just when Lin Yixun thought he would strangle her, he suddenly let her go.
"Lin Yixun, you will regret this."
Lin Yixun staggered back a few steps, barely standing with the support of the wall. She rubbed her aching neck and smiled lightly, "Regret? Why should I regret? Leng Yixiu, the thing I regret most in my life is loving you!"
Because of loving him, she lost herself; because of loving him, she abandoned all decency; because of loving him, her father ended up in prison.
"Is that so?" The man’s deep voice echoed in the darkness, impossible to discern anger, but it mysteriously made Lin Yixun’s heart tremble. "Whether you love me or not, you will only be my woman in this life. I’m giving you a month to think it over. Once you’ve thought it through, give me your answer."
