Chapter 69

Ping An collapsed and shouted, "Cheng Xiangheng! I want to break up with you! I don't want to be with you! You are too scary, too suffocating!"

Cheng Xiangheng's face darkened and he stopped moving.

Ping An cried and tried to get off him with shaking legs, but Cheng Xiangheng controlled her waist and made her sit back down.

"Sister, you always like to say things I don't like to hear. I think I should have told you not to try to irritate me. You can't afford the consequences of irritating me!"

The office documents on the study table were swept all over the floor, and Cheng Xiangheng put Ping An on the table.

Ping An raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky outside changed from dark and cold to gradually bright. When he finally opened his eyes in a daze, the sunset was about to fade.

But Cheng Xiangheng never went out.

He is like a mad dog, eating whatever he catches to death, never knowing satisfaction.

Ping An finally woke up three nights later. Lying in bed, she felt as if her soul had been labeled Cheng Xiangheng.

Cheng Xiangheng was not with Ping'an. She slowly sat up, adjusted herself for a while, and endured the discomfort in her body. Suddenly, she realized that the New Year seemed to be approaching.

Cheng Xiangheng is not a very Western person, his taste is more Chinese. If I guess correctly, he should be preparing for the New Year next.

When Ping'an went downstairs, she saw the maid decorating the villa. She pretended not to see it and went to the kitchen to drink some water.

After drinking some water, I felt alive again.

Ping An refused the maid's suggestion to eat and returned to her room.

It was only then that Ping An realized that his last hope in this world was gone. It was Cheng Xiangheng who had shattered it.

Ping An suddenly burst into tears.

She wanted to cry out all the grievances and hardships she had endured in the past eight years in this one night. She hated Cheng Xiangheng for leaving on his own initiative, and she hated her own weakness and incompetence. She hated the world even more for not giving her a little warmth and for cruelly tearing the past apart in front of her.

She clearly had nothing left, yet she refused to even offer a humble thought.

It was snowing heavily outside the window. Ping'an put on his clothes, took the car keys from Cheng Xiangheng's drawer, and took a knife from the kitchen.

Coincidentally, Cheng Xiangheng just arrived home.

Seeing Ping An standing at the door, Cheng Xiangheng smiled subconsciously, his eyes lit up: "An An, come and pick me up——"

Ping An walked over quickly, and pointed the knife at Cheng Xiangheng as his expression gradually darkened.

"I want you to let me go!"

Cheng Xiangheng remained unmoved: "An An, tomorrow is our engagement ceremony, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. This is your home, where are you going?"

Ping'an's heart sank, and she tried hard to control her shaking hands: "This is not my home, and I don't want to be engaged to you. I want to leave here, let me go!"

All the bodyguards were nervous, even Ping An who was holding the knife. Only Cheng Xiangheng stood there very calmly, seemingly unconcerned with the knife in front of him: "If this is not your home, where is it? Beijing? I'm afraid Wen Zhi is standing there and can't take care of you at all."

Ping An lost his voice: "What did you do to Wen Zhi!"

Cheng Xiangheng sneered, with deep jealousy hidden in his eyes: "You care about him a lot, right? I broke his leg. It was because he couldn't control his legs and ran around everywhere, and even ran into someone else's house. It's normal for his owner to break his leg."

Ping'an's expression turned pale. She felt that the person standing in front of her was a beast!

"Cheng Xiangheng, you lunatic!"

"Crazy, so be it. Ping An, just go back on your own. This trick won't work on me. Unless I die, don't even think about leaving."

Ping An took a deep breath and suddenly raised the sharp knife to stab his neck: "Every minute and every second I spend with you makes me feel suffocated. I don't want to stay with you. If you don't let me go, I'll die here."

Cheng Xiangheng's expression finally turned ugly: "Zhou Ping'an! You are threatening me with your life!"

Her hands were shaking so badly that blood was flowing down her neck. She was about to leave anyway, so it didn't matter if she spoke from the heart: "Cheng Xiangheng, I actually loved you before."

The expression on Cheng Xiangheng's face went blank for a moment. He was like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert. He originally thought he was going to die, but a source of water suddenly appeared in front of him, shocking him so much that he didn't know how to react.

Ping An continued, "I love you, but I didn't dare tell you. Do you think I didn't understand every time you kissed me? How could that be possible? I was obsessed with idols and reading novels back then, so how could I not understand the meaning of a kiss? I just didn't know what you felt for me, and you never told me. I was afraid that if I confessed my feelings, you would find me disgusting and leave me. I was afraid that I would misunderstand the reason why you kissed me, so I didn't dare to speak my mind."

"I love you, how could I not love you? Because I love you, that's why when you grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave the room, I didn't dare call the police. I was afraid of ruining your future."

Ping An said with tears in his eyes: "But you make me feel sick now."

Cheng Xiangheng's body began to tremble. He wanted to get closer to Ping An and hug her, but as soon as he moved a little, Ping An would stab the knife deeper into her neck.

He knew that she was not pretending when she held the knife. The image of her cutting her wrist with the knife when she was eighteen years old kept appearing in his mind. It was like a terrible chain, binding Cheng Xiangheng firmly in place, and he dared not move forward even a little bit.

"Please... be safe, please don't leave me..."

Cheng Xiangheng could bring Ping An back home countless times when he wanted to live, but he couldn't bring Ping An back home when he wanted to die.

She grasped his Achilles' heel.

At this moment, Cheng Xiangheng finally realized what he had missed in the past eight years, and understood that what he had done during this period was extremely wrong!

Ping An said, "Do you think I'm really stupid? I ran away twice, and you caught me both times. You clearly knew where I was, but you played cat and mouse with me. Is that fun? Is it fun to play with me?"

Cheng Xiangheng wanted to explain, but he heard Ping An say, "Cheng Xiangheng, don't detain me anymore. Don't make me hate you."

Let their entanglement end here.
