"Don’t be stubborn. You’re still ill." Huo Yi grabbed her arm.
As One arrived, this was the scene he saw, and he quickly retracted his foot that was about to step in.
He stood outside the door, watching coldly, unsure of how to react.
"Take a sip. I worked hard to make this for you." Huo Yi’s voice was tinged with plea.
Ye Ranran’s brow was ice-cold. She didn’t struggle. She knew herself well. As long as Huo Yi didn’t let go, her struggling would be in vain.
"Don’t you understand? I won’t drink." Ye Ranran articulated each word seriously.
The sorrow on Huo Yi’s face was evident, "I got up early to prepare this."
"So what?" Regardless of his efforts, she didn’t care, but she had the right to accept or reject his goodwill, right?
Huo Yi didn’t mind Ye Ranran’s attitude, he just stared at her sincerely: "I just want to be nicer to you."
"Is that so? Then disappear from my sight and stop bothering me. That would be nice, wouldn’t it?"
"You know, the only thing I can’t do is that." He had missed her for so many years, and he didn’t want to miss her anymore.
Ye Ranran looked at Huo Yi mockingly and with deep disdain, "Huo Yi, what on earth do you want?"
"I want to be with you. Ranran, would you give me another chance?" Huo Yi finally voiced his inner desire.
He admitted that he felt a growing darkness within him - even though he knew she was already his brother’s wife, he still desired to compete for her.
He wanted to steal her away from Jun Mochan.
At all costs, by any means, to steal her away.
"So if I drink this, will you let me go?" Ye Ranran, who didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore, glanced at the bowl of broth in his hand.
She didn’t recognize the ingredients in this concoction, but did it even matter?
As long as he would leave her alone, she was willing to drink whatever it was, even poison!
"Okay, I’ll drink." Ye Ranran took the soup from Huo Yi’s hand and started drinking in large gulps.
She gambled her life and poured the soup into her mouth. Huo Yi snatched the bowl away, and in their tussle, the bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Just like their past relationship, irretrievable.
Ye Ranran lifted her head, gazing at Huo Yi with a prideful expression, "May I ask, can you let me go now?"
Fearing what Ranran might do next, Huo Yi finally let go of her.
The corners of Ye Ranran’s mouth were wet with the medicinal broth. As Huo Yi reached out his hand intending to wipe it away for her, she swiftly stepped back before he could touch her.
Her defensiveness made his repressed emotions explode. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close, "Where do you think you’re going?"
Feeling pain radiate from her shoulders, Ye Ranran gave a muted whimper. Huo Yi loosened his grip slightly, but did not let go.
"Won’t you come back? Ranran, come back to me," he buried his head in her shoulder.
One, standing afar, watched with a mockery expression, seeing the woman his young master was madly in love with.
Involving with another man behind his back.
If his eyes didn’t fool him, that man was the young master’s elder brother.
Who would have guessed, this woman was very capable, even able to hook up the elder young master.
Her anger made Ye Ranran tremble, but Huo Yi’s grasp held her so tightly that she couldn’t break free.
Just as Ye Ranran was about to find something to knock Huo Yi out, Jun Mochan came out from the room.
