“You know, I really regret letting you go back then. If we had the guts and courage to face reality, will everything be different today?”
Luo Anning frowned slightly and stared at him. “Xiaoran, we can’t change the past and all we can do now is look forward to the future. I understand that you made every decision that you did back then, for my benefit. I understand everything and I’ll accept it too. However, times have changed and we can’t turn back anymore.”
Du Xiaoran said with misery in his eyes, “Anning, you don’t love Rong Yan.”
“But he’s my husband.”
“You won’t go far in a marriage that was established without love. Anning, don’t sacrifice your lifelong happiness for the sake of snatching back Anning Corporation that your parents have given you!” Du Xiaoran continued to grip her hand tightly, for he was feeling way too agitated.
Luo Anning’s lips quivered in pain, even though she could not say a single word.
“Anning, I promised my father that I would go home to take over the organization. I’ll help you snatch Anning Corporation back. Will you divorce Rong Yan and come back to me?” He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
He was still as tender and affectionate as before.
“Xiaoran, are you out of your mind!?! You clearly are aware of the consequences that would entail once you take over. There will be no turning back and you won’t be able to stay out of it again. Why are you so silly!?!” Luo Anning barked, trying to keep her volume down.
Silly?
He didn’t think he was being silly.
He felt that everything would be worth it as long as he could protect his beloved woman.
Du Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said, “If I can’t even protect my beloved woman, what kind of a man am I? Anning, had I gotten a clear idea of everything right from the start and realized that I would only be able to protect the woman I love if I had power and authority, I would have gone home two years ago. If I did that, I wouldn’t have lost you… ”
Luo Anning said with hollow and lifeless eyes. “Xiaoran, don’t go back. How could you be so silly… ”
Bloody Kingdom, was an assassin organization that his father had single handedly established.
It was an organization that was full of blood and darkness. They would even be able to assassinate a President as long as the money offered was high enough!
Eight out of ten world-class assassins were from Bloody Kingdom.
As the young master of Bloody Kingdom, Du Xiaoran lived a sheltered life under his parents’ protection, ever since he was a child. They wanted him to lead an ordinary life like other children did.
However, after he became an adult, his father, Du Jue began to coerce him into taking over Bloody Kingdom.
Back then, Du Xiaoran was young and hot-headed. He actually had the audacity to go against his father for the sake of leading a normal life.
In the end, he ended up taking three bullets from Du Jue’s gun and finally shirked the identity of the young master of Bloody Kingdom.
However, he actually gave up his dream to lead a normal life and would now return to the world of blood and darkness, all for Luo Anning’s sake. How silly was he?
Luo Anning was feeling extremely agonized. Two years ago, she headed to England after graduating from the Holland Institute of Butlers, and went on to become the butler of Marquis York’s home. During that time, Laurent York fell in love with her boyfriend, Du Xiaoran.
Laurent did everything she could to undermine and condemn Luo Anning by abusing her authority, and even used her own life to threaten Du Xiaoran into breaking up with Luo Anning and getting into a relationship with her instead.
Luo Anning knew that they were both destined to be defeated by the wealthy and powerful, since they had nothing to their names.
She loved him and obviously knew that breaking free from Bloody Kingdom was his greatest wish. He had a luxurious dream of living in the open and free from darkness.
