There were too many issues between them that she just couldn’t overcome, leaving her completely unable to be with him.
As she softly closed her eyes, a wave of indifferent alienation emanated from her.
Rong Shaoze tensed up, feeling the deliberate distance she was creating between them, and anger welled up inside him.
What on earth was this woman thinking?!
Why did she always become cold to him just as they were getting close?
He could never get a grasp on her temperament, sometimes he really wanted to crack open her head to see what she was thinking.
The anger in his heart turned into a passionate desire, and he bit down on her soft lips, taking advantage of her cry of pain when she opened her mouth, plunging in to kiss her deeply.
His wildness startled Lin Xinlan, her resistance and struggles were in vain.
In the end, she could only become weak, melting into his arms, descending into the abyss with him.
She thought he would let her go after he had punished her.
But he never stopped, over and over again, even when she cried and begged for mercy, he did not let her go.
He laughed wickedly by her ear, biting her earlobe and demanded, "Say it, will you leave me?"
"..." Lin Xinlan bit down hard on her lip, filled with intense hatred.
How could this man question her in such a way.
"If you don’t speak, I will not forgive you!"
No matter how much he pressured her, she remained silent, steadfastly refusing to answer.
There were some promises she dared not speak lightly, for she was a selfish liar, unashamed to lie to achieve her goals.
But this time, she did not want to lie, because deep down, she didn’t want to hurt him...
Rong Shaoze was questioning her so intensely his eyes turned red, having never met such a stubborn woman before.
Her stubbornness made him hate, made him hurt, even more it made him feel helpless!
Stopping his actions, he leaned in and held her tightly against him, his face pressing against hers, rubbing affectionately.
He slightly closed his eyes, nearly pleading, "Xinlan, is it really so difficult for you to stay by my side, not to flee from me?"
Lin Xinlan bit her lip, remaining silent.
"Xinlan, Xinlan..." he rubbed her face more forcefully, grabbing her hand and placing it on his chest.
"Do you feel it, it’s beating for you, only for you..."
Under her palm, his heart thumped away powerfully, every beat resonating strongly, each throb tugging at her heartstrings.
Her eyes began to redness, for the first time, she felt deeply loved.
She was also a woman, a woman who longed for love.
The love Rong Shaoze gave her made her heart soften, made it flutter.
If there weren’t so many problems between them, she probably would have, agreed to him...
Without hearing her voice, Rong Shaoze shut his eyes tightly, hiding the pain within them.
He couldn’t help but ask, "You don’t want to be with me, is it because of the hurt I’ve caused you before, or is it because of my identity?"
Only by pinpointing the crux of the problem could he think of a way to solve it.
Lin Xinlan opened her mouth slightly, her voice somewhat hoarse, "...It’s both."
For the first time, the man detested his own cruelty and heartlessness.
If only he hadn’t hurt her before, if only he had always loved and cherished her, even if she discovered his identity, she wouldn’t have been so repulsed and would have accepted him quickly.
"Is it because of the child?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Xinlan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not answer.
