He Ming grabbed Zhuang Li by the collar and pressed him again, "Did you steal the research and development data of Die Yi?"
Even as he asked, he had already sentenced Zhuang Li to death in his heart. His eyes burned with rage and endless regret. Thinking about it now, he had no idea why he had stepped up to the stage and dragged Zhuang Li out of this dire situation.
Zhuang Li is not worthy of him doing this at all!
Zhuang Li was strangled to tears. She slapped the back of He Ming's hand and begged anxiously, "Let go, I can't breathe. Look into my eyes, look carefully. If you have anything to say, let's calm down and talk!"
He stood on tiptoe, trying to look He Ming in the eye. His pupils were incredibly clear and deep, filled with shimmering tears and earnest pleas, making him look so vulnerable and helpless.
At this moment, He Ming was in a trance. The palpitations he had felt in the church that year came back violently, and even more intensely.
He unconsciously loosened his grip, his body compromising before his consciousness.
Zhuang Li took a deep breath, but did not rush to escape. Instead, he took a step forward, got close to He Ming, stretched out his hands, and hugged the other's head.
He inserted his slender fingertips into He Ming's thick black hair, gently stroking He Ming's scalp over and over again, and slowly said, "Don't be angry, okay? Sit down, sit down and let's talk slowly. If there is any problem, we can solve it together. Let's not let anger cloud our minds, let's calm down."
Warm fingertips gently stroked his scalp, and hot breath blew back and forth in his ears. Miraculously, He Ming calmed down.
The anger on his face slowly faded, turning into confusion. He was completely bewildered by Zhuang Li's gentle words.
Zhuang Li pulled him to sit on the sofa, pointed at the TV and asked, "Tell me, why did you want to marry me in the first place? Tell me, what was your mood when you stood at the altar?"
After calming He Ming's anger, he continued to disrupt his thoughts. In this way, the imminent crisis was temporarily suppressed.
He Ming looked at the TV screen, breathing heavily, anger still burning in his heart.
He clenched his fists, wanting to scold Zhuang Li and order him not to change the subject, but Zhuang Li took the initiative and clenched his hands. He half-knelt down, pressed his cheek against his thigh and gently rubbed it, whispering in a pleading tone: "Tell me, why did you marry me in the first place? Do you love me?"
Feeling the warmth and softness coming from his legs, He Ming's iron-hard heart melted a little.
7480: "..." The big devil is really good at coaxing people!
It was the first time Jin Erxian had seen Zhuang Li so humble. It was a pity that things had come to this point, and no amount of humility could save him.
Sure enough, He Ming closed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "I don't love you."
This was the truth. He really didn't love Zhuang Li at all. But for some reason, he didn't dare to say this to the person in front of him.
7480: "Oh no! The evil power is backfiring!"
Zhuang Li was very satisfied with this answer. It was right not to love her. The one who married He Ming was the original owner, not him.
Zhuang Li raised his head, staring at He Ming with tear-filled eyes, and continued to ask, "If you don't love me, why did you marry me? Tell me the truth."
He Ming no longer wanted to talk about the past. After getting married, he regretted it all the time. He curled his lips into a cold smile, and more hurtful words were about to slip out.
Zhuang Li pressed her cheek against the back of his hand, stroking it gently, and whispered sadly, "Please tell me."
A hot tear slid down from the corner of his eye and fell on the back of He Ming's hand.
He Ming felt as if his heart had been burned. Those hurtful words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them no matter what. He felt like he was going crazy, with anger that had nowhere to vent and a vague sense of pity pulling at his heart.
He simply didn't know what to do with the person lying on his lap.
"Because I can't bear it." He finally gave up struggling and said truthfully, "Because I can't bear to see this face show despair, and I can't bear to see it cry. It should be beautiful, with its chin slightly raised and a proud look. No one can make it cry."
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
He knew it was like this. He knew that even if it was just because of a vague sense of familiarity, He Ming would do his utmost to protect a man named Zhuang Li.
Even if he lost all his memories, even if he changed through time and space again and again, two words were still engraved in his soul, and those two words must be "Zhuang Li".
Zhuang Li raised his head, letting his tear-soaked eyes meet He Ming's, and asked, "What about now? Do you still feel this way? Do you still want to protect him from crying and shedding tears?"
He Ming looked uncontrollably into those dark and deep eyes, but couldn't find the answer.
He came with disappointment, anger and determination.
But at this moment, all that lingered in his heart was pity and reluctance. He thought his original decision was just an impulse, and he also knew that he didn't love Zhuang Li.
But he didn't dare to say these two words in front of this person. He even wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears on this person's face.
He thought there must be something wrong with his brain.
Zhuang Li slowly stood up and hugged He Ming, who was sitting on the sofa. His fingertips pierced his hair, stroking his scalp back and forth. He said softly, "Do you know how I felt when I saw you stand up and save me from this dire situation?"
He Ming clenched his fists and said nothing. He was trying not to fall into this gentle trap. He was trying to figure out why he was here.
Zhuang Li lowered his head and kissed He Ming's hair, his sad tone gradually becoming a little funny: "I was thinking, you really are my hero. You always stand up to protect me in the most dangerous moments. Holding your hand, I am safe."
This was Zhuang Li's truest feeling. Even if he simply watched the video from a bystander's perspective, he still felt a strong sense of security and belonging.
"Before you appeared, I was in the abyss. After you appeared, my whole world became bright. Because of you, I have become who I am now; because of you, I can feel happy; because of you, I believe that there is still hope and love in the world."
Zhuang Li gently kissed the top of He Ming's head with every sentence he spoke, recalling every little detail of their time together. They had promised each other forever, so how could they just walk apart?
Hearing these words, He Ming's heart was in turmoil.
Every word Zhuang Li said hit his heart like raindrops, extinguishing his anger and melting his ice. The hostility in his eyes completely dissipated, and he raised his arms slightly, hugging Zhuang Li's waist uncontrollably.
This unexpected hug encouraged Zhuang Li.
He lowered his head and whispered into He Ming's ear, "We still have a long way to go together. Our marriage has just begun and can't end like this. All you have to do is give me a little trust. Believe in me, okay? Believe me."
He Ming did not answer, but tightened his arms around Zhuang Li inch by inch.
Seeing this, 7480 let out a long sigh. The Great Demon King was indeed a master at playing with people's emotions; he could even resolve a crisis like this.
Jin Erxian was also amazed at Zhuang Li's coaxing skills. He had never expected that the hot-tempered He Ming would be defeated by Zhuang Li in just two rounds.
Didn't you say you didn't love her? The way He Ming held Zhuang Li tightly and refused to let go was really hypocritical!
Jin Erxian walked out the door and sent a text message to Shao Hui, describing the current situation truthfully.
So a few seconds later, He Ming's phone rang.
He Ming's company was in turmoil. The new product, developed at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars by the R&D department, had been patented and publicly released by someone else. This was a heavy blow, and the subsequent losses were even more devastating.
The finance department did a rough calculation and found that if the company failed to handle this crisis, its business volume next year might drop by 50%, which would be a fatal crisis for the company.
Therefore, whenever his cell phone rang, He Ming would swipe the screen to check it, fearing that he would miss any important information.
Then, his gentle face was once again shrouded in hostility.
He finished reading the text message in silence, and when he raised his eyes, he stared at Zhuang Li without blinking, with a cold light flashing in his pupils.
"I almost believed you." He put his phone on the table, his hoarse voice full of disappointment: "I didn't expect you to be so deceitful. It's time to end this marriage."
Zhuang Li looked at He Ming's phone, only to see a screenshot of a chat sent by an anonymous person, which was filled with the cheesy love words that Xiao Yiheng had said to the original owner.
Xiao Yiheng asked: [Do you love me? ]
The original owner replied: [I only love you.]
Xiao Yiheng asked again: [What is He Ming to you?]
The original owner said without any guilt: "I don't know him at all. He's completely incomprehensible! If my mother hadn't forced me, I would never marry him. Yiheng, wait for me. I will find a chance to break up with him. He can't stand in our way."
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and didn't dare to watch the rest of the conversation.
7480: "Pfft! Is this really the backlash of evil power?"
He Ming raised his chin towards Jin Erxian, and there was no trace of tenderness on his face.
Jin Erxian immediately spread out the divorce agreement that he had prepared long ago on the table and placed a pen on it.
Since the original owner had signed a prenuptial agreement, Zhuang Li got nothing. He only needed to sign his name in the blank space and he could leave the house with nothing.
Zhuang Li gently rubbed his eyebrows and sat still.
He Ming did not urge him, but just watched indifferently.
7480 asked nervously, "Master, what should we do? Are you really going to divorce the gods? You two have experienced so many small worlds. It must have been difficult along the way!"
"What else can we do if we don't want to separate? There is no construction without destruction, so let's get divorced." Zhuang Li sighed helplessly for the first time.
He quickly signed his name with a pen, then stood up, pointed to his heart, and said slowly, "Believe it or not, the man standing before you at this moment is completely devoted to you. He has never deceived you, much less betrayed you. He truly loves you and wants to be with you forever."
These words came completely from Zhuang Li's heart, but the only response he got was a sneer from He Ming.
That chat record completely shattered He Ming's trust in Zhuang Li. He sentenced this marriage to death.
