Now that she was really standing in front of him alive, he became even more greedy.
After all, he would rather die than watch her lying in the arms of another man.
The knife was given to her. Since she didn't take his life, she should be prepared to be entangled with him for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan actually felt a little happy.
The coldness in his eyes gradually melted, and he coaxed her in a low voice, "I know you hate me for hurting you, and I will let you vent your anger."
Everything in the dream, from her perspective, he had experienced.
He knew what she cared about most and what he owed her.
Before that, he had to clarify one thing.
Thinking of the tooth mark, Lu Ziyan's mood, which had just calmed down, began to waver again.
The aching pain in his heart made him frown uncomfortably and his breathing quickened.
He reached out and held her chin and lifted it up, then lowered his eyes to look into her eyes. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Wanwan, did you lie to me?"
Xie Wan Ning was furious as her chin was pinched, but upon hearing the words, her whole body stiffened and her pupils dilated unconsciously.

Xie Wan Ning was thinking rapidly about how to break the impasse, but the hand that was pinching her jaw exerted a little force and lifted her face a little higher.

He leaned his forehead against hers, lowered his eyes and looked at her, his voice gentle: "Does it feel good to retaliate against me like this?"
Xie Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat and she was almost frightened to the point of limp legs by his tone. She subconsciously tried to avoid his approach, but the hand on her jaw wouldn't let her escape.
She took a step back, and he took a big step closer. As if that was not enough, he grabbed her lower back with his other hand and completely held her in his arms.
They were very close, almost touching, and she was forced to tilt her head back in his arms, with their foreheads touching and their eyes meeting.
A general who had fought in the battlefields for many years did not need to have a gloomy face. Just standing there was enough to make people feel afraid. He had always restrained his edge in front of her before, so even with a cold face, he could not scare her.
But at this moment, his eyes were dark, as if a storm was gathering.
