Chapter 418 Ji Linshen’s Panic
Her eyes met Ji Linshen's eyes which were filled with worry and tenderness.
For a moment, the deliberately built cold barrier seemed to shake.
This face always has a fatal attraction whenever you look at it.
The deep eyebrows, straight nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips now have a worried arc, and the contours are clear and impeccable under the warm overhead light.
Her heart beat inopportunely and against her will, like ripples on the surface of a lake when a pebble was thrown into it.
Damn, I've been fooled by him again!
No, no, she hasn't pretended enough, she can't be so useless.
She quickly lowered her eyelashes, like drawing a curtain to cover up the fleeting distraction.
He forced himself to suppress that slight hesitation with even greater indifference, even slightly tightening his lips.
You can't be soft-hearted. She's here to question you, not to be lustful.
Stay calm, stay calm.
No unnecessary preparation.
Lu Shiman took out the necklace from his pocket and handed it to Ji Linshen right in front of his sight.
Her voice was not loud but very clear, without any hesitation: "You put a locator in this necklace."
"Yes, or no?"
“!!!”
Ji Linshen's breathing and heartbeat stopped suddenly at this moment!
She knows!
The blood seemed to rush to the brain, and then all receded in the next second, leaving behind a biting coldness.
Panic was like a poisonous vine that instantly wrapped around his limbs and almost suffocated him.
The fear of the past few days and the secrets that must not be exposed to the light were all laid out nakedly under the light.
He was discovered so quickly, as fast as thunder, catching him off guard.
He opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to deny, to explain, to say something to save the situation...
But his vocal cords seemed to be frozen, he couldn't utter a single syllable, and his throat was clogged with a thousand-pound weight of fear.
He could only move his lips in vain, and his face instantly lost color under the light, becoming frighteningly pale.
Ji Linshen lowered his eyes, and the sinister look in his eyes was just revealed when he suppressed it back.
But even in this panic, a hint of relief suddenly arose from a corner that he himself had not even noticed?
No need to worry about this time bomb, afraid that it will explode at the next second.
The day finally arrived, although it came too soon, so soon that he didn't even have time to organize the lies he had prepared.
It was like a knife hanging over his head finally fell. Although it hurt, the feeling of waiting that had kept him restless day and night and tormented him to the point of collapse was finally over.
Chaotic thoughts exploded, shattered, and then settled violently in my mind.
Ji Linshen tried hard to force himself to regain a bit of clarity and refocus on Lu Shiman's scrutinizing eyes.
There was no rage as he had expected, only a calmness that made him uneasy.
Time seemed to freeze for more than ten seconds, or perhaps only a moment.
"...Yes." The voice was hoarse, with a kind of tiredness that had settled down, and an unconcealable trembling.
"Why?"
Why?
Ji Linshen's heart was hit hard by these three words.
Why? Because I’m scared to death of losing you!
Because the anxiety about gains and losses is almost pathological.
Because he couldn't believe that God would really give such a treasure to someone like him who had crawled out of the mud.
Because, at that time, I wanted to confirm your existence every moment.
He had thousands of words to say and countless reasons rolling on his tongue.
Explain? Ask for forgiveness? Confess your feelings?
But under her overly clear gaze, all words seemed so pale, powerless, even dirty.
He was like a clown stripped of all his hypocritical cloaks, standing naked on the judgment seat.
"I..." His throat rolled with difficulty, his lips moved, and a broken syllable came out.
He looked at Lu Shiman's face, and the eyes that were always full of smiles now seemed covered with a layer of frost.
What can he say?
Say "I love you madly"?
Say "insecure"?
Say "Afraid you'll disappear"?
In her eyes, would all this be just an even more unbearable excuse?
An excuse to cover up one's despicable behavior?
Thousands of words were stuck in my chest, rushing around, but eventually turned into a suffocating silence.
In the end, he just lowered his eyes, avoiding the gaze that could pierce his soul.
The long eyelashes cast a small shadow under the eyelids, covering up the painful struggle surging inside.
He could have used force, but he couldn't bear to do it.
I couldn't bear to see sadness and fear on her face.
Lu Shiman looked at his dejected and silent appearance after being exposed, and her heart felt like it was twisted by something, feeling sore, swollen and painful.
She took a deep breath, walked to the sofa, and placed her bag on the coffee table.
"Ji Linshen, I've thought about this for a long time..." Lu Shiman's voice rang out in the overly quiet room, breaking the suffocating silence.
Her tone sounded heavy, with a solemnity that came from careful consideration, as if she was announcing a difficult decision.
"I decided to give it to you."
Ji Linshen's heart was pierced.
What to give?
Give her freedom? Set her free? Put an end to this confinement called marriage?
She wanted to send him back to the darkness, to hell.
This thought was like the most powerful poison, instantly igniting the panic and haze in the deepest part of Ji Lin's heart.
The paranoia and possessiveness that had been suppressed with great difficulty suddenly exploded.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly turned frighteningly red, filled with despair and almost crazy stubbornness.
He was like a trapped beast that was completely enraged and on the verge of collapse. His originally dim pupils suddenly contracted, and he locked onto Lu Shiman's every subtle movement.
She opened her bag and was searching for something inside.
Paper! It has to be paper!
The next second she would take out the cold, final divorce agreement.
This realization was like the final fuse, instantly burning away all his shaky sanity.
He no longer cared about anything else, and his body rushed to the sofa in an instant like an arrow.
Lu Shiman had just pulled out a corner of the document bag containing the instruction manual from his bag.
My wrist was grabbed by a hand that was icy cold and trembling violently.
"Ugh!" A huge force pulled her back suddenly.
My back hit the back of the sofa hard, and before I could react, I felt a sudden chill on my neck.
Ji Linshen's hand was strangled on her slender neck with a force that was almost like a confinement.
The thumb did not press on the fragile larynx, but was firmly clasped on the side of her mandible.
She was forced to look up and meet a pair of eyes filled with pain and madness.
His face was so close, and his hot breath clearly sprayed on her skin.
In the amber eyes that were fixed on her, there was no longer a trace of clarity, only a dark undercurrent of possession and fear.
"Lu Shiman..." His voice was extremely low, with a gasp on the verge of breaking: "You said... we would die together."
