The biting cold wind poured in through the window, whipping wildly through Dan Bingli's deep blue hair, but it couldn't dispel the confusion in her heart.
You Yueying's persuasive words shattered her once resolute inner world.
She recalled the tender look in Qin Luo's eyes when he looked at her, a testament to the love she had once believed to be unbreakable.
But now, You Yueying's words made her wonder if all that gentleness was just her imagination. When Qin Luo went through all those hardships, was he truly utterly disappointed by her departure?
You Yueying's carefully crafted words were so persuasive that any ordinary woman would have been completely overwhelmed and her mental defenses would have crumbled.
But despite all her calculations, she overlooked the depth of Dan Bingli's feelings for Qin Luo and the obsession that had been hidden deep within her heart.
Faced with the terrible consequences of potentially losing Qin Luo, Dan Bingli's confusion gradually stirred up her hidden obsession.
She used to turn a blind eye to Qin Luo's philandering choices because she knew she was a newcomer in his romantic history and felt she had no right to judge him.
But this time, You Yueying's relentless pressure and sharp sarcasm became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Her world began to tilt, and the scales in her heart swung violently between self-doubt and resentment at being abandoned, eventually falling toward the side of obsession.
Looking at the jade bottle that had fallen in front of her, Dan Bingli's rosy lips were already bitten until they bled, and beads of blood slid down her chin and dripped onto the cold ground.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the jade bottle with such force that her veins bulged.
"No, Qin Luo wouldn't treat me like that, he definitely wouldn't!"
"I'm going to find him. I want to hear him say it himself!"
The shrill sound, tinged with a hint of despair, echoed in the silent room, revealing her last hope and... madness?
At this moment, Dan Bingli's mind began to go mad. You Yueying's harsh words kept echoing in her ears, and each word made her obsession grow stronger.
If Qin Luo is truly as You Yueying said, extremely disappointed in her, then she will use her life as the final footnote, letting it be eternally frozen in despair.
Even more insane thoughts surged in Dan Bingli's mind.
At that time, she longed to freeze herself and Qin Luo together forever, so that he would never be able to leave her side again.
Even if someone else has taken her place in his heart, even if all that remains in his eyes is disappointment and indifference, she will never let go, and she will never allow fate to separate them.
"Qin Luo... I am yours in life and your soul in death. In life, I want to share a bed with you, every breath I take is infused with your scent! In death, my soul will be tightly bound to you, never to be separated in the slightest!"
"I suppose you feel the same way, right? Everything changes, but your love for me will remain as unchanging as the mountains and rivers, won't it...?"
Muttering to herself, Dan Bingli stumbled and rushed toward the door, her hair flying in the wind, just like her chaotic and frantic state of mind.
At this moment, You Yueying was so smug that she relaxed a little. She lazily looked at the white glacier, a smug smile on her lips. Recalling Dan Bingli's collapse, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
"It's nothing but a worthless cosmetic, how dare it compete with me for him."
She parted her lips slightly and let out a sneer tinged with contempt, her eyes gleaming with smugness.
Little did she know that a much larger storm was brewing, so much so that from that moment on, she would never dare to cross Qin Luo's bottom line again...
......
At this moment, Qin Luo was somewhat bewildered. He had originally thought that meeting his future father-in-law would be tense, especially since he had just been intimate with Bing Li right under his father's nose. However, it seemed that this elder really just wanted to have a chat.
During the conversation, the issue of ethnic settlement was also touched upon, but only briefly, without any in-depth discussion.
However, during the conversation, Qin Luo noticed that the attitude of the Liling Clan Chief was a bit strange. His words were filled with a sense of coercion, and every word seemed to be squeezed out unwillingly.
His gaze kept drifting elsewhere, revealing a sense of urgency. The entire conversation moved at a rapid pace, as if the other person couldn't wait to end it.
Finally, the other person got up to leave, but just as they were about to step out the door, they turned back and, with a complicated expression, gave a final instruction:
"I hope you will treat Bing'er well in the future and not let her suffer any injustice."
After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving Qin Luo standing alone, somewhat confused, with a sense of unease quietly spreading in his heart.
If the Liling Clan Chief wanted to treat Bingli well, he should have focused on that, instead of chatting with him about a lot of irrelevant things.
Just as Qin Luo was wondering about the depth of the conversation, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, breaking the surrounding tranquility.
He instinctively stood up and looked toward the door, where he saw a figure rushing in amidst the wind and snow.
"Bing Li?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Dan Bingli stumble in, looking disheveled.
Her hair was disheveled, clinging limply to her bloodless cheeks. Her eyes were filled with terror; her once bright eyes were now only filled with fear and confusion.
His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, each breath seeming like a desperate attempt to draw a sense of security from the air.
The woman before me was completely different from the cold and aloof Dan Bingli of the past; her panic was on full display.
Before Qin Luo could ask what had happened, a confused and desolate voice, trembling with sobs, struggled to utter the following:
"You...you don't want me anymore?"
The voice seemed to be a desperate cry from the depths of the soul, each word filled with the fear of being abandoned and self-doubt.
Qin Luo: (*′?д?)?
Qin Luo: Σヽ(?Д ?; )?
While Qin Luo was still in shock, Dan Bingli, who had not heard any response, felt that nothing was more sorrowful than death, and that the whole world had fallen into darkness.
She staggered toward Qin Luo, nearly falling over, but quickly regained her balance, as if afraid that this brief delay would cause her to lose the person in front of her forever.
"I don't want anything anymore, I want nothing at all. I'm passing this on to you. I'm still useful to you; you can't abandon me..."
"Although I stubbornly returned to my tribe at the time, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
As Dan Bingli spoke, she became more and more agitated, tears streaming down her face, making her look utterly disheveled.
She rushed to Qin Luo, grabbing his arm tightly with both hands, her nails digging into his flesh, as if this would bind her to him.
