Wang Xiangxiang truly hadn’t expected that the shameless man would be so despicable, clenching her teeth in hatred, "Let him come in."
The young assistant returned to the counter, "Mr. Chu, this way please."
Chu Lian wore a smug smile, he had countless ways to threaten her. He followed the young assistant into the room, and the assistant quickly left, closing the door behind them.
Wang Xiangxiang sat there, her eyes fixed dead on Chu Lian, her face as cold as ice, not a hint of warmth, "Speak, what do you want with me?"
Her haughty demeanor made Chu Lian feel especially irritated, "You still ask me what’s the matter, the whole city is laughing at me now, saying I’m worse than pigs and dogs."
Wang Xiangxiang dismissed the matter as if it were none of her concern, "They’re not wrong, are they? You are indeed worse than pigs and dogs."
If he weren’t worse than pigs and dogs, he wouldn’t have force-kissed her, nor would he randomly hold her, and now he’s using this to threaten her.
Chu Lian felt that her disdainful attitude was a challenge to his temper, and he roared angrily, "Don’t go too far."
Wang Xiangxiang let out a cold laugh, "I’m going too far? The person who kissed me by force is you, isn’t it? In front of the person you like, just how poor is your character really?"
"..." This remark left Chu Lian speechless. At that moment, he didn’t know what had come over him, he also felt that he was utterly despicable.
Wang Xiangxiang huffed, continuing, "I’m going too far? Who is it that tarnishes my reputation, saying I’m your unwed wife?"
"..." Yes, it was him.
"I’m going too far? The one who constantly covers my face, drags me around, holds me is who?"
"..." Yes, still him.
"I’m going too far? The one using these threats against me now is who?"
"..." Yes, it was all him.
Every sentence from Wang Xiangxiang pricked Chu Lian’s heart. He was only thinking about fighting with her, but he hadn’t realized that he had done so many despicable things to such a delicate woman.
His usual gentlemanly demeanor was completely gone. What had become of him? He wasn’t such a despicable person at heart, he just didn’t want her to think of him this way.
Just as he was about to begin explaining, he saw her frail figure start to tremble slightly, her face now covered with heartbreaking tears.
This tugged painfully at his heart. Without a second thought, he stepped forward, leaned down, reached out his arms, and embraced her, whispering softly, "I’m sorry, I’ve gone too far, please don’t cry."
But he was sternly pushed away. He looked up at her, that face still as cold as ice, but now with a touch of pitifulness that made him ache to protect her.
Her cherry lips parted and spoke still without warmth, "Do you still need to excessively hug me now?"
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry." Chu Lian realized he had lost control again and quickly apologized. What was he doing?
"You should be grateful that I haven’t pursued these transgressions. If it had been another woman, she would have been crying and screaming for you to marry her by now."
She was stating the facts. He had done things that compromised a woman’s reputation, he should marry her, he should take responsibility. In his agitation, he blurted out words that even shocked him, "I’ll marry you."
But Wang Xiangxiang didn’t believe his words and scoffed as if he was still playing her, "Do you know why I haven’t married all these years?"
"Why?" He really wanted to know.
"Because I won’t marry someone who doesn’t like me, nor will I marry someone I don’t like."
