“I will make you agree,” Qiu Hu said firmly.
"I won't agree, don't even think about it." Ning Yizhan approached her, his words carrying a firm and cold tone.
"I don't care whether you agree or not, I've unilaterally broken up with you."
Ning Yizhan was amused by her. So you're going to force me, huh? He looked at her with his deep eyes and said, "You want to start a fight, don't you?"
Qiu Hu, however, was confident. "Heh, do you think you can out-argue me?"
"How do you know I can't win an argument with you, Qiu Hu? Don't be too confident in everything. This is what your brother wants to tell you." Ning Yizhan said with his hands on his hips, turning around and taking a few steps back.
"Unless you give me a reason I can accept, come on, tell me!" Finally, he sat down on the single sofa, ready to listen to Qiu Hu's sophistry, which was supposedly an acceptable reason.
After a moment, Qiu Hu's slightly helpless voice rang out, "I want to go back to Lake Creek Island."
Why do you keep thinking about going back to that lousy island?
“That’s my home!” Qiu Hu emphasized.
"Qincheng is your home. Don't think I don't know about your mess. You're just trying to run away, aren't you? Run away from your parents and your brother? Qiu Hu, that's all you've got."
He knew, how could he know? But Qiu Hu wouldn't admit it, "You're overthinking it. There's one more thing I haven't finished saying: I don't like you that much."
Ning Yizhan wasn't annoyed by these words. He tapped the edge of the sofa with his index and middle fingers, a genuine smile playing on his lips. "That's the truth. Why did you suddenly stop liking it? Didn't you like it before? Why didn't you stick with it?"
"..." Qiu Hu knew that she herself was easily swayed by others, even if those others had not done anything bad to her.
Unlike her usual tone, this time she spoke gently, "Is it so hard to like someone? What will you do in the future? Are you going to abandon the whole world? That's not a good habit."
However, Ning Yizhan was filled with sorrow: Is there a place for me in your world?
"Think what you want." Qiu Hu was nervous at the moment. The man in front of her seemed to be able to see through her, and she felt like crying.
Ning Yizhan chuckled softly, "Come back to me when you've thought it through. Leave the necklace behind, and you can go now."
"Why should I? The necklace is mine, and I want to take it with me." One of the reasons she came to him was to get the necklace back.
"Don't forget, you gave it to me, so it's rightfully mine."
Qiu Hu ignored his words, clutched her bag, and started walking towards the door. However, Ning Yizhan had already seen through her intentions. He was one step ahead of her, came in front of her, blocked her way, snatched the necklace from her bag, and ran to the study without looking back, intending to lock it in the safe.
Qiu Hu reacted quickly, following behind him, but her steps were certainly not as fast as his. When she arrived at the study, Ning Yizhan had just put the item into the safe and was about to close it when Qiu Hu pulled him away forcefully. She took a step forward, but was grabbed by the man beside her.
Enraged, she punched him in the shoulder, causing him pain, but that didn't stop him from kicking the safe door shut. "Chou Hu, you still hit me!"
"I'm going to hit you, you bastard." Another punch was thrown at Ning Yizhan. Ning Yizhan dodged this punch, of course. Soon, he received several more punches. Just as each punch was about to land, Ning Yizhan blocked them all, only defending and not attacking.
After several rounds, Qiu Hu hadn't landed a single punch on him. Instead, he seized on her weakness of only attacking and not defending. In the blink of an eye, her hands were restrained and crossed in his arms. His right arm was also around her neck, and her upper body was unable to move. A man's voice came from her ear, "Want to come again? I'll give you two punches."
Qiu Hu tried to struggle, but to no avail. "Let me go."
"I was just defending myself."
She struggled again, but to no avail. In a moment of inspiration, she bit his right arm.
Ning Yizhan had no idea that this woman had such a trick up her sleeve; he was only wearing a thin shirt at the moment.
She bit down and wouldn't let go, thinking, "Does this man not feel pain?" Just then, the man calmly said, "Bite harder, preferably enough to leave a scar, and then you'll have no choice but to marry me. Tell me, what woman would accept another woman's bite mark on her man's arm?"
Sure enough, Qiu Hu let go of his mouth.
"I told you long ago, don't be too confident. I can beat you with one hand, believe me?"
Qiu Hu felt that Ning Yizhan was no longer holding her so tightly. With just a little force, she broke free and stubbornly retorted, "Then let me tell you, don't be so confident."
She didn't know how high Ning Yizhan's fighting ability was; she only knew that she really couldn't beat him. She was also curious about where a rich young master got such high fighting ability.
Ning Yizhan stroked Qiu Hu's cheek, a deep smile playing on his lips, "Ah Hu, at worst we'll fight to the death."
Qiu Hu angrily slapped his hand away, yelled "Get out!", stomped on his foot, and turned to leave the study.
Ning Yizhan jolted in pain in his foot, hissing. It hurt so much. He knew she was leaving, but he didn't stop her. He'd already said what he wanted to say. "Qiu Hu, I'm serious, I'll make you fall in love with me." "Anyway, I won't break up with you. Forget about it. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Qiu Hu left his house without looking back.
In fact, Qiu Hu heard every word Ning Yizhan said. She went downstairs and back to her car, slumped her head on the steering wheel, her hair drooping down, her nose a little sore, and tears welling up in her eyes.
Why is breaking up so difficult? When has Qiu Hu ever felt so miserable and frustrated? She can't win an argument with him, she can't beat him in a fight, and the worst part is that this man seems to see right through her. She keeps running into obstacles with him, and for the first time, she feels really worthless.
Then she thought, if she had stayed in Qincheng, she would have chosen to be with him, and perhaps she would have fallen in love with him, just as he said.
But love and marriage won't be the most important things in her life. Will he understand that? So she'll be more resolute and won't fight him to the bitter end.
Qiu Hu, exhausted, returned to Jin Yin Bay. He entered the villa, but it was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. No one was there, not even Wei Zhouyu; he was probably taken away by A Yi.
She didn't intend to turn on the lights and went straight to the second floor. When she passed the living room, she forgot that there was a step there, tripped, and fell to the ground.
Her first thought was that she had fallen, but no one was there, no one would help her up, and she had to rely on herself.
The pain of falling was nothing to her. She rolled over and lay directly on the ground, seemingly relieved, as if she had given up all hope.
She didn't get up until she had rested enough, and then, in the pitch black, she went up to the second floor.
