“That’s why, if you truly love me, please let go of me. Wish me happiness, okay?”
It was silent in the room for a long time after she requested that.
Even the sounds of their breathing were muted.
It was as though time had frozen in this room, and that was the reason for the long silence…
“Let go of you… Wish you happiness…”
The man regarded her coldly as he softly repeated her words. His voice was very small and soft, yet it could not be disregarded.
“Pei Ge, do you think that is possible?”
His expression changed abruptly as he pinched her chin with one hand.
“Ji Ziming?”
The sudden change surprised her.
The man who had been so gentle moments ago had an icy expression now. It was so… frightening.
It was as though his soul had been dyed black and he had transformed into a fearful king of hell.
“I gave you so many chances… Why… don’t you cherish it…”
He continued propping her head with his hand, forcing her to tilt her head up to look into his eyes.
“You forced me into this. I’ve never thought of making you sad. All that I am doing is only because I want you to be happy…”
He seemed to have lost control of his emotions as his words started losing logic.
While she felt uncomfortable with how he was pinching her chin, she could still feel his sadness.
He was acting very coldly, but she could distinctly feel that he… was hurt by her words.
“I will not feel any happiness if you do this.”
She pressed her lips together.
“We should let each other go…”
“Not in my life!”
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips, stopping anything she might say more.
His kiss was filled with aggression as his cold yet agile tongue split her teeth apart and slowly invaded every corner of her mouth.
It felt as though he wanted to devour her completely, and this was so… frightening that she had goosebumps.
The kiss did not last long, but she sensed the craze and despair in it.
The feeling made her… want to respond to his desperate kiss.
“Hoo!”
She panted for breath when he finally released her lips.
His hand softly caressed her face when he saw her lips turning red from the kiss.
“Rest assured that I won’t let you go for the rest of my life…”
With that, he lowered his lead again to kiss her.
“I will arrange for our wedding quickly.”
His words jolted her out of her trance, and her eyes widened in shock as she looked at him.
“Marriage?!”
“Yes, marriage. To complete our wedding, which has been pushed back for five years…”
His lips curled up as he gently pulled her into his embrace.
“That is impossible! You have a fiancée!”
She recalled that Qu Jingwan.
Even now, she could still remember that it was because of the news of this man and that woman’s engagement that… she had gone into premature labor.
“Don’t need to care about her. All you need to think is the type of wedding you want.”
