Chapter 57 Who exactly saved you five years ago?

He had wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her properly, but several times, he swallowed the words back.

How could someone as proud as him easily reveal his true feelings for her?

Besides, five years ago, Luo Tingwei was the one who fell for him first and became attached to him, so why should he take the initiative now?

If she were still the same person she was five years ago, that would be fine.

But she's currently resistant to him a thousand times over, so why should he act like a dog licking her boots?

All he could do was show through his actions that he was devoted to her.

That frantic and morbid possessiveness clearly demonstrates his intense desire for her.

Unfortunately, Luo Tingwei did not believe that this kind of persistence was love.

For her, this was torture.

Seeing that he had torn off his disguise and left her with no dignity left, Luo Tingwei was even more glad that her decision to leave him was the right one.

“What right does Luo Shengtian have to represent me? Does she mean that if I sell you, I’ll be yours? What law says that a father can sell his daughter for a price? Absurd, utterly absurd! Your kind of contract is completely invalid. Besides, even if you forcibly bind me to your side, you can’t control my mind and make me your puppet.”

"As long as I have a breath left, I am an independent person. I will fight for myself against anything I don't want to do, no matter how weak my strength is."

Finally, she frankly said,

"I'm sorry to have a father like Luo Shengtian. I really regret it. I should have let you shoot him dead back then."

As Li Yanzhou looked at her sharp-tongued manner, the image of her secretly watching him by the pool years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

At that time, she sat on a bar stool, holding a Long Island Iced Tea, and would steal glances at him from time to time, full of a young girl's cautiousness, afraid that he would find out.

So cute...

He couldn't help but think of it.

But now, that cautious, shy face overlapped with the angry woman in front of him.

Li Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously stubbed out his cigarette.

For a fleeting moment, he had an impulse to simply tell her.

How she liked him back then, and how carefully she approached him.

To be honest, he was really looking forward to her reaction.

Will she stop running away from now on? Will she... change her opinion of him? Will she love him again as cautiously as she did five years ago?

If she can love him, he wouldn't mind telling her that he loves her too.

However, just as he was about to speak, Luo Tingwei suddenly fainted.

He was startled and quickly ran over, scooped her up, and carried her to the bed.

"Weiwei... what's wrong, Weiwei?"

After the doctor examined her, he said she had fainted from anger and asked him tactfully if he had said something that provoked her or used harsh words.

Li Yanzhou felt somewhat guilty, not expecting her to be so stubborn.

She was truly... virtuous and loyal.

Unfortunately, she used this chastity and stubbornness to fight against him, instead of loving him.

Just then, the maid came in carrying the brewed medicine.

This is a medicine the doctor just prescribed to calm her down, and he told her to drink it as soon as possible.

"Give it to me."

Li Yanzhou took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and was about to wake her up.

The next second, however, they heard her whisper, "Save me..."

He paused, seeing her eyes tightly closed, yet her face contorted in pain and struggle. "Lin Zeyuan, you..."

In an instant, the medicine bowl was knocked over and placed on the ground.

Luo Tingwei was startled awake by the sound and groggily opened her eyes.

Unfortunately, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Li Yanzhou, that devil.

His tone was icy as he bluntly told her, "You were just calling out Lin Zeyuan's name."

"You're saying you really want him to save you, right? You even beg him to save you in your dreams."

Luo Tingwei had just woken up and still had a vague impression of the scenes in her dream.

Yes, she did dream about Lin Zeyuan.

However, in her dream, although Lin Zeyuan successfully led her away from there, when she turned around, she found him grinning menacingly at her. She couldn't help but cry out for help, which led to the words, "Save me..."

The bizarre dream made her realize once again that she didn't trust Lin Zeyuan at all.

Honestly, if he hadn't saved her twice before, she would have wanted to keep her distance from him.

"Luo Tingwei, are you deaf?"

Seeing that she ignored him again, Li Yanzhou became even angrier.

Although Luo Tingwei didn't trust Lin Zeyuan, she disliked Li Yanzhou even more, so she deliberately tried to annoy him.

"That's right, I want Lin Zeyuan. You don't know this, do you? Five years ago in America, I almost drowned in a swimming pool, and he saved me. Before that, when the boat capsized on Fergie Island, he saved me again and pulled me out of the sea. He saved me twice. Without him, I would have died long ago. Lin Zeyuan is my savior. What's wrong with me thinking about him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Li Yanzhou's expression revealed a subtle and complex quality she had never seen before.

"What did you say?" The man's voice was tinged with coldness.

"Say it again, who saved you five years ago?"

Luo Tingwei's heart skipped a beat, wondering why he was fixated on this point.

So she repeated, "Five years ago, when I was studying in the United States, I accidentally fell into the deep end of the school swimming pool, and Lin Zeyuan appeared in time to save me."

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? My connection with him actually goes back so far."

She continued to disgust him, completely unaware that the man's expression was gradually turning icy cold.

"He's the one who saved you."

Li Yanzhou sneered, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body sent chills down one's spine.

Luo Tingwei finally sensed his hostility, and her back stiffened, but in order to provoke him, she still forced herself to speak.

"Yes, he saved me... not only that, I liked him a lot at the time."

"I've had a crush on him since my student days five years ago, you wouldn't believe it, would you?"

Looking at her unbridled behavior, Li Yanzhou's eyes hardened, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

Just as she thought he was about to explode, the man opposite her let out an almost morbid sneer and said something she couldn't understand.

"You know what? I originally wanted you to remember slowly, and even if you couldn't remember, that would be fine, we could start over. But now, it seems I have no choice but to force you to remember."

After saying that, the man stood up abruptly and strode towards the door.

Luo Tingwei watched his departing figure, her breath caught in her throat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
