Chapter 863 Xu Hui, are you really willing to let go?

"Would you mind finishing your meal?"

Xu Hui discussed it with him.

Ji Chuan pinched her face and said, "Okay."

The two came out of the bathroom, Xu Hui went to the kitchen to cook, and Ji Chuan went into the study to do work.

The lights in the room were all on, and the warm yellow light passed through the glass door between the kitchen and the study. The crisp sounds of pots and pans in the kitchen faintly reached the quiet study.

Xu Hui lowered her head and quickly processed the ingredients. The faucet was rinsing the fish head in the basin, but the scenes just now were still surging in her mind.

Normally he didn't like to make any noise when doing this kind of thing, most of the time he would just exert his strength silently, but today, he kept asking, "Can we keep doing this?"

She could only tell him over and over again that she loved him. Even if she couldn't do what he asked, she wanted him to always remember that she loved him no matter what.

Xu Hui slowly turned his head and looked towards the study.

He was wearing a clean dark blue shirt and sitting in a chair, his deep gaze fixed on the laptop in front of him. The dim light on the screen reflected a faint light and shadow between his cold brows.

He suddenly raised his eyes and saw the two people looking at each other through the two glass doors.

A smile immediately spread across Xu Hui's face, and then she raised her hands to hold her chin and made a crazy gesture towards him.

He leaned back in his chair and curled his lips slightly.

Suddenly, a surge of sour and bitter taste blocked his throat. Xu Hui quickly turned around and lowered his head to continue processing the fish head. Less than two seconds later, tears fell on the fish head.

"What's wrong?"

His voice suddenly came from behind.

Xu Hui didn't have time to wipe away her tears and stood motionless in front of the pool.

"Crying again?"

His voice sank and he forcibly pulled her shoulders again.

Xu Hui was panicking and said in a panic, "This chili is too spicy. My eyes can't stand it."

Ji Chuan lowered his head and looked at her face. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly said, "Have you made your choice?"

Xu Hui's heart was beating fast and her face turned pale instantly. She wanted to pretend to be stupid, but it was obviously impossible.

"Are you ready to break up with me? Tonight is our last dinner? How are you going to break up this time? Are you going to just walk away like last time?"

His dark eyes fixed on her, his voice so calm it made people uneasy.

Her heart seemed to be grasped by his big hand, slowly tightening.

She couldn't even lift her head, her mouth was tight, and she looked away.

"Is this how much you love me? Xu Hui, are you really willing to give me up?"

His voice suddenly became hoarse.

Xu Hui's moist eyes were instantly filled with tears.

She bit her lips tightly, holding back her tears, and choked, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The anger in Ji Chuan's chest was easily extinguished by her tears. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. His Adam's apple rolled and his voice was dull: "It's not your fault."

Xu Hui finally couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears.

He hugged her tightly, his voice steady, "We won't break up. I will protect your family. Don't worry, I will never let him do anything to them."

Xu Hui's crying slowly stopped. She raised her head and looked at him silently.

Ji Chuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his tone filled with resentment, "He threatened you with your family, didn't he? I mean far less to you than your family, so you're just going to sacrifice me without a word? Is this your way of solving the problem?"

Xu Hui felt that he was trying his best to suppress his anger, and she tried to calm him down. "I can't think of any other way. He's the minister. How can his arm twist his thigh? Besides, he's your father."

"So, you're going to give me an ultimatum without even telling me? Do you really not care about my feelings at all?"

His tone unconsciously became more serious, and the strength he held her with became noticeably tighter.

She didn't dare to look up at him, and only whispered: "Did you know it a long time ago? Is that why you drove to the school to find me? Are you pretending not to know?"

She finally figured it out, as if she had finally found something to hold against him. She raised her eyes and stared at him intently.

Ji Chuan gritted his teeth and glared at her: "I want to see when you can tell me the truth. It seems that you have made up your mind to keep it a secret until the end."
