Ye Chen looked up and glanced at Shi Nian.
Even at a time like this, she remained calm and composed.
Does she not care about his choice, or does she believe he won't betray her?
"Fifth Master, please make your choice. Don't waste time," Qiu Sheng urged impatiently.
Ye Chen turned his gaze away from Shi Nian and looked at Qiu Bai and Qiu Sheng.
Qiu Sheng's face was filled with excitement and shyness.
Even before Ye Chen spoke, she could guess what his choice would be.
He will definitely choose to be with her!
She's not ugly, and she's his savior and pregnant with his child. How could he possibly choose death over her?
Ye Chen is about to be hers!
Qiu Sheng became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Nian with a smug look.
Hmph, she's still pretending not to care even now, but she must be worried sick inside.
This woman just loves to put on airs.
Once Ye Chen chooses to be with her, let's see how she can keep up the act!
"Young man, just say what you want to say. Even if you choose me, it's only natural, and no one will laugh at you," Qiu Sheng said understandingly.
Under Qiu Shenghou's expectant gaze, Ye Chen finally spoke, "Since you want to take back the life you saved, then I will return it to you."
Qiu Sheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard!
Does Ye Chen mean he's choosing to die?!
How is that possible?
How could he possibly choose death rather than be with her?!
"Little brother, are you kidding me? How could you choose to die? Am I that worthless that you'd rather die than be with me?!" She was furious, tears streaming down her face.
She has never suffered such injustice in her entire life!
Her brother always told her that whatever she wanted to do was right.
But she was clearly doing the right thing, so why didn't Ye Chen follow her wishes and instead kept resisting?
"I love my girlfriend very much. Even if it means death, I will never betray her," Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
His tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Qiu Sheng was both angry and aggrieved, her voice trembling, "No, you can't make this choice..."
Qiu Bai's face turned ashen with rage, and he clenched his fists tightly.
His sister is so outstanding, yet Ye Chen would rather die than choose her?
impossible!
Everyone is afraid of death, how could he not be afraid of death?
He must have thought they were just bluffing him, so he said that on purpose to discourage them.
Qiu Bai took a deep breath and said in a sinister voice, "Since Fifth Master has made his choice, then please carry it out immediately!"
Without hesitation, Ye Chen picked up a dagger from the table, preparing to slash his wrist.
"Fifth Brother, no!" Old Master Bo stood up again and shouted loudly, trying to stop Ye Chen.
Ye Chen paused and looked at the old man. “Dad, I can only repay your life-saving grace when I come back. My life was saved by Qiu Sheng. If it weren’t for her saving me fifteen years ago, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that she wants to take my life back, I will return it to her. After I die, the grudges between our two families will be wiped clean. Dad, please don’t cause them any trouble.”
The old man pursed his lips tightly, his eyes reddened, and his body trembled violently.
Ye Chen shifted his gaze to Shi Nian, his deep eyes filled with intense reluctance.
I won't be able to be with Niannian anymore, I'm so sad...
However, he would rather die than break up with her, so this was the only choice he had!
Ye Chen withdrew his gaze, raised the dagger in his hand again, and slashed at his own wrist...
