He was determined to get an answer but Shui Anluo was determined to guard her heart.
Neither one of them was willing to take a step back, it was a deadlock.
“Why?” Chu Ningyi asked again in a soft voice but his closed lips carried a seductive air that whirled to the side of her lips.
Shui Anluo began to crumble from the extreme seduction.
She opened her lips but a soft, uncontrollable moan escaped instead.
Chu Ningyi swallowed all of her soft moans as he increased the force of his fingers still intertwined with hers.
He only stopped his psychological torture toward her when he felt the bitter taste of tears from the corners of his lips.
Chu Ningyi looked up and gazed into her teary eyes as his heart filled with pain.
Had he forced her too much?
Chu Ningyi slowly decreased the force on his hold on her but he did not want Shui Anluo to forcefully push him away.
Shui Anluo stumbled backward, chuckling. However, her tears betrayed her true feelings. She looked up at Chu Ningyi and cried out, “Yes, I did it because of you, so what? I clearly knew that you won’t fall in love with me but I was selfish and did not want any other woman near you. I clearly knew that you only let me stay because of the little darling yet I still believed in my own lies and told myself that maybe you’d fall for me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have helped me all the time. I clearly knew that loving you wasn’t right for me yet, regardless of whether it was two years ago or two years later, I’d still lose control and fall for you. I clearly knew that every single one of those other women are miles better than I am yet I, still with such over-confidence, still want to love you. I clearly knew… Mmph…”
Shui Anluo’s cries instantly vanished into the air. She blinked as her tears dripped on his cheeks.
His kiss was no longer pure, honest and mild. Instead, it was like a storm that followed a raging wind, instantly invading all her senses.
Shui Anluo was in a bit of a daze. If it were not for his sturdy arms that clamped down on her body firmly, perhaps she might have already toppled onto the ground.
Chu Ningyi kissed earnestly, forcefully…
She had said that regardless of whether it was two years ago or two years later, she would still lose control and fall for him.
Chu Ningyi felt that this was the most pleasing and moving phrase he had ever heard in this lifetime.
Chu Ningyi believes that there has never been a single moment where he had ever felt such an impulse, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and pull her into his arms to kiss her fiercely, almost into suffocation.
Kissing her until she could no longer breathe.
Kissing her until she could no longer weep.
A gentle breeze brushed across the leaves, startling the birds perched on its branches.
Chu Ningyi slowly released her lips but his forehead remained on hers. The corners of his lips were spread into an obvious smile.
“You clearly knew that I won’t fall for you, who made you think that way? You clearly knew that I had only let you stay because of the little darling, who made you think that way? You clearly knew that loving me wasn’t right for you, who made you think that way? You clearly knew that every single one of those women are better than you, who made you think that way?” Chu Ningyi slowly spoke and enunciated every word.
What made you think that way!
He only wanted to find out who had given her the knowledge to everything she had clearly known, what did she know?
Shui Anluo’s legs gave way but her waist remained horizontal against his strong arms.
Shui Anluo was still shaking uncontrollably due to her previous crying episode. She clenched her fists but could not find a comfortable position at all.
Chu Ningyi reached out and pulled her into his arms and murmured softly into her ear, “What shall I do with such a silly child?”
