"I definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on." Xiang Zhilan was able to wait for Feng Jingxian for so long, but this is different from pursuing someone. She couldn't let go of her pride. If her confession failed, she might have given up. She really couldn't be as persistent as Bo Qingyun.
“Every time I feel like giving up, I think of how he saved me in the fire. I always felt that it was love at first sight.” Bo Qingyun always felt that he definitely liked her, but always rejected her because of their different social statuses.
As Xiang Zhilan listened to Bo Qingyun recount her past experiences, she became increasingly engrossed and no longer felt sleepy. However, Bo Qingyun fell asleep as she spoke.
Xiang Zhilan pulled the blanket up for her and lay quietly on the bed for a while, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
So she quietly got out of bed, intending to go back to her room to get her phone.
As I walked onto the veranda, something felt off, even though it was late at night and everything was quiet.
She shook her head and walked into the room. As soon as she opened the door, her hand was grabbed and she was pulled inside!
The door was closed, and she was gagged and pressed against it!
She couldn't see anything in the darkness, and she struggled in panic, crying out, "Ugh..."
"Don't move, it's me," Shen Muzhi's deep voice rang out.
Xiang Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought it was some kind of spy who had infiltrated the military.
But just as I breathed a sigh of relief, it came back up again.
I thought Shen Muzhi would need at least ten days to half a month to recover from his injuries, but he came over so quickly!
He pressed down on her, and she could almost smell the blood from his wounds.
"Mmm..." Xiang Zhilan shook her head, signaling him to let go of her.
Shen Muzhi slowly released her hand, and just as she was about to cry for help, he silenced her with his lips.
Xiang Zhilan tried to resist, but with her wrists restrained, she could only make whimpering sounds from her throat.
Finally, when her lips were numb from the kiss, he released them.
She opened her mouth and fiercely bit down on Shen Muzhi's shoulder, as if determined to tear off a piece of flesh.
Shen Muzhi held Xiang Zhilan tightly and wouldn't let go, letting out a muffled groan: "Don't bite your teeth and hurt yourself."
Xiang Zhilan was provoked even more, and bit down harder until her teeth ached. She finally let go, panting and glaring angrily at Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi felt much more relaxed and happy. Compared to being disliked and hated, what he feared most was being ignored. If she had no feelings for him, it meant that she really treated him as a complete stranger.
"Come back with me." Shen Muzhi's voice was a little hoarse, yet it had a strangely gentle quality to it.
"Shen Muzhi, are you delirious with fever? We're getting a divorce, not having a fight." Xiang Zhilan had felt his body temperature was very high from the moment he spoke.
“There’s no divorce. I tampered with that divorce agreement; it’s invalid.” Shen Muzhi pressed his cheek against Xiang Zhilan’s and said in a low voice, “Go back. As long as you don’t mention divorce, I won’t lock you up anymore. You can do whatever you want.”
"All I want is a divorce." Xiang Zhilan felt there was no point in dwelling on this topic, so she took a deep breath and said, "Please, just let me go."
Shen Muzhi, panting heavily, reached out and turned on the light, wanting to see Xiang Zhilan more clearly.
His face was flushed from the fever, and his tense expression wasn't scary; he looked more like a child throwing a tantrum. "You've taken a fancy to Ye Jinyan?"
