A low and cold laugh rumbled from deep within the man’s throat, and his hand that was around her waist tightened.

  He looked at her beautiful eyes and said darkly, “Yanran, did I agree to it?”


  There was a fear in Xia Yanran’s heart since she knew Xiao Yi.

  But she was moved by him and opened her heart to him, feeling that he was not as terrible as he appeared to be.

  She had seen his ruthlessness. In Hong Kong, when Junyuan and her were being attacked, he had rushed over with a ferocious expression, grabbed the knife from the gangster who had stabbed Junyuan twice and thrown out a fatal blow to the gangster.

  He took them out from the group of gangsters, one hand holding Junyuan, the other waving at those gangsters mercilessly.

  Every time he lifted his hand to cut down, it was fast and accurate.

  There was a murderous look in his eyes, like a demon from hell, and the dark and cold air emanating from his body did not dissipate even when they were at the hospital.

  When he was cruel, he was really cruel!

  Before, Xia Yanran had never seen him fighting and killing. After seeing it, she found that she could not integrate into this bloody world.

  Xia Yanran looked at the man’s gloomy eyes after she recovered from her recollection and there was a fear in her heart. Although there was a smile on his lips, there was a dark gloominess to him.

  “When I suggested it that time, you had no objection. Besides, it’s been a year. Even if it’s a married couple, one party can divorce when they are living separately for two years. We used to be a couple and after being separated for a year, our relationship will be automatically terminated, even if you didn’t agree.”


  She had a glib tongue. Xiao Yi looked at her red lips, lifted her chin and kissed her.

  The sudden kiss was strong and forceful. Xia Yanran’s eyes widened. After a year, their lips touched again and the familiar yet strange breath stimulated her nerves. In an instant, her mind turned blank.

  He released her hands that were held behind. She was trapped between his chest and desk, and when her hands were free, she put it on his chest on reflex, pushing him. “Xiao Yi…… You’re shameless!”


  Ha.

  He laughed coldly. “I can be even more shameless.”


  The next second, he carried her and put her on the desk, his hard chest pressed close to her soft chest, his arms like chains, locking her tightly.

  Xia Yanran was slightly panicked, forced into an indescribable panic. She knew clearly what kind of person he was. If he wanted to do something, he would not care about the occasion, let alone what others would say.

  He lived wildly and arrogantly.

  But Xia Yanran could not. Moreover, they had already broken up. If he did something bad to her here, all the staff in the company would know and what reputation and dignity would she have in the future?

  “Xiao Yi, if you want to shamelessly be horny, go find another woman.”


  Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at her bright and guarded eyes.

  It was no longer full of attachment and love like from a year ago.

  His expression was a little dazed and without saying anything, he kissed her again.

  His kiss was domineering and wild, like he wanted to swallow her lips.

  He held the back of her head with one hand to keep her from moving away, and grabbed her waist with his other hand, pulling her close to him forcefully. The man’s hot breath with the smell of tobacco entered her mouth and nose, as if it was melting her.

  Her teeth were skillfully pried open by him and her tongue was firmly grabbed by him. He attacked her mouth ruthlessly, tasting every inch of her mouth.

  Xia Yanran was kissed forcefully by him, their teeth touching and he only released her when they were both almost out of breath. But his large hand was still around her waist and with heavy breaths, he buried his face into her neck. She could feel the change in his body and she laughed softly to hide her panic.

  “Why are you laughing?” Xiao Yi raised his head from Xia Yanran’s neck and looked at her.

  Xia Yanran’s lips were swollen and glistening by his kisses. She pursed her lips and it seemed like there was still his temperature lingering, unusually hot. Xia Yanran raised her long eyelashes and looked at him quietly. “Xiao Yi, we’ve known each other for ten years now! I’m already twenty-eight years old, and I’ve given you the best times of my youth.

  “Over the years, we separated and got back together, and there was a time we couldn’t be separated from each other. We have already tried very hard to integrate into each other’s life and I even wanted to be the woman of a big boss, regardless of life and death, only caring about the present.

  “But reality is reality. My brother went to medical university for seven years. He could have saved many patients who needed him to operate on. But because of my relationship, he destroyed his life’s pursuits. Because of me, his dreams have disappeared into nothing.

  “If it had been four or five years ago, I would have laid down everything for love and even feel that it was fine to sacrifice myself. But now, I find that I can’t do it. Xiao Yi, in fact, you and I both know that when we’re together, there will always be the day it would end. It has been ten years, isn’t it time to let go?”


  Xia Yanran stared fixedly at him, her eyes bright, but the rims of her eyes were red.

  Xiao Yi still had his arm around her slender waist, his tall body not moving, only his eyes that were looking at her turned dark slightly. His calloused fingers rubbed her charming face and he said with a cold and hoarse voice, “Yanran, you said that we were entangled for ten years, not ten days or ten months. How can you expect me to let go, just because you say so?”


  Xia Yanran felt a lump in her throat and tears filled her eyes.

  “Yanran……”


  That soft cry was more like a sigh and Xia Yanran’s heart trembled, almost bursting into tears.

  Xia Yanran bit her lips and looked at the man in front of her with blurry sight. “But I don’t want to spend another decade to love a man who I won’t have a good ending with!”


  In these ten years, he had destroyed her happiness and everything she had……

  But he had also taken away her heart.

  Why was it so difficult for her to start over? Why did he appear again when she wanted to forget him?

  Was this fate?

  The tears swimming around Xia Yanran’s eyes fell drop by drop and hit the back of his hand, like a hot whip, whipping his heart.

  Xia Yanran lowered her eyes, her body trembling slightly. “Xiao Yi, we’ve tried our best, but we’re not suitable. Please stop pestering me, let me go and let yourself go too!”


  Seeing her crying so badly, Xiao Yi’s heart tightened into a ball.

  He had made her so miserable and upset……

  He did not know how to coax women. During the period when they lived together in Hong Kong, he had went along with her for whatever she wanted to do.

  Yanran was actually very simple and easy to coax, but only when she still loved him.

  But now, she wanted to stay away from him.

  She no longer wanted there to be a ‘them’.
