Luo Anning chuckled and cupped his handsome face with her hands. She then said in a strangely gentle tone, “Rong Yan, do you know why I can’t choose Xiaoran anymore, even after knowing that he still loves me despite having broken up two years ago?”
Rong Yan frowned and his eyes turned dark and gloomy.
Luo Anning let go of him and turned to look at the sky outside to see that it had begun to brighten. “Two years ago, Laurent threatened him with my life but back then, I would rather die with him than break up. However, he still chose to let me go for the sake of protecting my life. He decided to be with Laurent in the end. I understand his reasons for doing so, but… I can’t forgive him.”
Love is not blind. Luo Anning did not want to push herself back into the doldrums again. She admitted that she did fancy Rong Yan and had no reason to turn him down when he was being so gentle and doing so much for her.
However, there was a bottom line and her pride was her bottom line.
Once he had let her go, it would be impossible no matter how much he loved her.
Rong Yan was no fool and he knew that she was hinting at something, for she rarely spoke about Du Xiaoran.
She was trying to tell him that once he chooses Mo Xiyan and not her, it would forever be impossible between them.
Rong Yan smirked and thought, she’s the only person in this world who can be that ruthless.
Rong Yan stared at her calmly and realized that he really… could not do anything about her.
He leaned against her in solitude and buried his face in her neck. Rubbing his face against her skin, he asked, “Anning, I’ve already told you everything that you want to know… Will you cut it out?”
He had never liked arguing or explaining, but… he discovered that she might just give him the cold shoulder for the rest of her life if he was unable to give her a satisfactory explanation.
In fact… she might just throw the divorce letter at him.
“Why? Do you think I’m forcing you?” Luo Anning asked coldly while staring at the ceiling.
“No. You didn’t. I’m willing to explain myself,” Rong Yan said while pecking her neck.
Rong Yan would never say so even if he felt compelled by her.
Only a fool would do that!
Seeing that he could hug her now, he decided not to be silly and provoke her.
“Rong Yan, if you don’t feel like talking, you may choose not to. I’m not bent on getting an answer either. I’m not interested in hearing about someone else’s love story,” Luo Anning said while closing her eyes.
Yeah, it was not that she had to listen but if she did not, he would ultimately die!
Rong Yan finally knew why women were known for saying one thing and meaning another. He hugged her soft and slender waist while kissing her tender skin. “I must say it but it’s not a must for you to hear it. Will that do, honey?”
Luo Anning humphed.
Rong Yan immediately smiled because he realized that she seemed to be in a better mood. Hence, he decided to work harder and thought about his tone for a while before starting to speak slowly.
“Xiyan is my high school classmate and my first girlfriend. She comes from a poor family but she’s too prideful to use my money so she turned down my suggestion for us to study abroad together. Although I argued with Grandpa about her countless times before, he gave in and allowed me to further my education locally together with her.”
