Chu Wuyang shook his head weakly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, his voice dry and cold.
"It's no use, Jingmin, you still don't understand."
"You say you believe me, but that's not really what you feel."
Jing Min struggled to support himself, trying to squeeze out a few words of explanation:
"No, I really said I believe you,"
"In my heart... I just believe in you."
Chu Wuyang's gaze sharpened, and he sneered, asking in return:
"Do you dare say that when you heard I had met Zhou Heng in private, your first reaction was that you trusted me?"
"Can you honestly say you have absolutely no doubts?"
Faced with Chu Wuyang's questioning,
Jingmin fell silent.
He lowered his head, unable to meet her gaze.
He dared not answer.
I dare not deny it.
Because he knew that he had just vomited blood to the point of almost fainting.
It's clearly a reaction of distrust.
How can it be concealed?
Chu Wuyang gave a bitter smile, the pain in her eyes almost impossible to conceal:
"Hehe, what, can't deny it now?"
"Jingmin, you're such a good actor,"
"Pretend to believe me,"
"Pretend to love me very much,"
"You don't really understand love at all."
Jing Min interrupted her urgently, his eyes filled with anxiety and his lips trembling slightly:
No, no, I really love you.
"My distrust stems from loving you too much."
Because I love too much, I feel insecure.
The slightest disturbance could arouse his suspicion.
Chu Wuyang gave a cold laugh, tears already streaming down her face without her realizing it.
"What you call love is nothing more than a cover for your selfish and possessive nature."
She clenched her fists tightly, her tone growing colder and harder.
"Just now, you clearly had the chance to let me leave safely, but you chose to let me stay with you,"
"Isn't this selfish?"
Jingmin listened to her accusations, closed his eyes in anguish, and spoke in a low, broken voice:
"No, Yangyang, I don't want to let you go, because I don't trust anyone,"
"No one but me would protect you with their life like I would."
Chu Wuyang's tears slid down her cheeks silently, and her voice turned as cold as ice.
Are you still making excuses?
"Look at yourself now, you're so badly injured, what can you possibly protect me from?"
"You just want me to die with you!"
Mingxiu excitedly shouted from the side:
"Miss Chu, it's all because of you that President Jing got injured while protecting you!"
How could you criticize him like that!
Jing Min opened his eyes at this moment.
With a hint of pleading and anxiety in his eyes, he waved his hand, trying to stop Mingxiu:
"Shut up!"
He turned to Chu Wuyang again, his voice weak but extremely affectionate:
"Come here, Yangyang, come here... I beg you,"
"The past can be disregarded; we can start anew."
"I will love you forever and protect you, please, come to me,"
"We'll be safe, someone's coming soon..."
Chu Wuyang wasn't far away, and she listened to his weak yet expectant words.
A sudden, heartfelt chuckle escaped his lips.
Because he understood what Jingmin hadn't finished saying—
Someone came to rescue him immediately.
We just can't alert them yet.
Zhou Heng and Jin Zhuoer are still the biggest threats.
Looking into Jing Min's eyes, which were almost devoid of light, she slowly spoke:
"Jingmin, don't you understand?"
Her voice was resolute:
"In the past, I was willing to personally invite a wolf into the house and scheme against you and Yunyang in order to leave you."
"Now, what's so strange about me teaming up with outsiders to kill you in order to completely leave you?"
Mingxiu's anger was about to explode, and he screamed:
"You admit it!"
"You actually teamed up with outsiders to plot against President Jing!"
"You ungrateful woman!"
Jing Min was stunned, his pale face filled with shock and disbelief.
His throat was dry, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice almost inaudible:
"All these years... have you ever loved me?"
Even for a short time?
Chu Wuyang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and coldly turned her head away.
I stopped looking at him.
He said in a detached tone
Why ask a question you already know the answer to?
Can't you feel it?
Jing Min's voice trembled slightly as he struggled to maintain his composure, yet remained stubborn:
"Look at me and say it again!"
Chu Wuyang paused slightly, turned around, and before she could speak,
Jing Min suddenly spoke up, his voice low and urgent.
He seemed to regret his earlier question, or perhaps he was afraid of hearing a clear answer from her.
His tone carried a hint of struggle.
"I can tell you're lying to me."
"I know, no, you must be lying to me."
Chu Wuyang pursed her lips, a cold glint flashing in her eyes:
"Whether you choose to deceive yourself is your business."
"That's none of my business,"
"But don't expect me to die with you."
After speaking, she turned around decisively, her gaze falling on Zhou Heng standing to the side.
"Young Master Zhou, Mr. Jin said you've been in love with me for a long time... Is that true?"
Zhou Heng clearly hadn't expected her to be so direct.
He paused for a moment,
Then, as if struck by a pleasant surprise, he hurriedly nodded:
"Of course, it's true."
Chu Wuyang smiled slightly, a hint of provocation in her eyes, her tone cold:
"Then will you protect me?"
A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes, and he responded without hesitation:
