Lin Qingbai clutched his head in pain, his mind flashing back to the cruelty he had shown to Xunting. He felt nothing but deep regret.
I wish I could slap my past self. Why did I develop a prejudice against Xunting because of my grandfather's arrangements? Xunting was clearly innocent. Even if I didn't like her, I could have simply distanced myself from her.
If I hadn't laid a hand on her, hadn't humiliated her, or even shown her a little mercy, things wouldn't have come to this. Unfortunately, everything is irreversible now.
He closed his eyes in anguish. "Listen to me, I beg you, please don't say that. I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."
Xun Ting looked at him with amusement. Are all male protagonists in angst novels like this? The unattainable is always the best. She examined the handcuffs and shackles on her hands and feet; they were quite heavy.
She felt her whole body was still numb, and it was too difficult to break free. She glanced at Lin Qingbai by the bedside and said, "I can give you another chance."
"Really?"
"Really, if you let me go now, and if your pursuit makes me feel that I love you more than Huo Lin, I might forgive you and get back together with you."
Lin Qingbai shook his head. He became agitated upon hearing that she was being let go. He was well aware that Xun Ting did not love him and had already fallen in love with Huo Lin.
This is my only chance. If I let her go, she may never come back.
"No, I can't let you leave the villa. If I let you go, I'll never see you again."
"You don't even have this much trust, yet you expect me to forgive you? Do you think that's possible?" Xun Ting sneered, too lazy to say another word.
She believed that once the villains discovered they were missing, they would definitely send people to search for them.
“Listen, no, I just want to wait until you are willing to stay in the villa before I let you go,” Lin Qingbai explained urgently, her tone humble.
He didn't care about pride or face; all he wanted was to listen.
"What if I never want to stay in the villa for the rest of my life?"
"You will stay. Once we have our baby, you will immediately divorce Huo Lin and I will marry you. I will make you the most enviable woman in the entire H City!"
Lin Qingbai smiled, as if the day had already arrived, and his hand unconsciously clasped the woman's hand tightly.
The woman's delicate hands felt wonderful to the touch, like a peeled egg. If you got close, you could smell a faint milky fragrance about her, which was very pleasant.
He held her tightly, reluctant to let go; how long had it been since he had held a woman like this?
Xun was so angry at the man's shameless words that she laughed. "You want to force me?"
"I won't mind that Tingting has been touched by someone else. From now on... as long as Tingting only has me in the future, that's fine." Lin Qingbai stared at the woman with extremely deep affection in his eyes.
"Ugh, get lost, disgusting!" If Xun Ting could move her hands, she would have slapped him long ago.
She found Lin Qingbai utterly disgusting. This wasn't love at all! It was resentment, resentment that she no longer loved him, and an inability to accept that she was no longer making sacrifices for him.
"Listen to this, don't make me angry." Lin Qingbai couldn't stand the word "disgusting," and her tone hinted at impending anger.
Xun Ting shut up, not wanting to continue talking. Lin Qingbai is a narcissistic idiot!
Seeing that she didn't speak or get angry, Lin Qingbai just stared at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
"..." Xunting closed his eyes and went to sleep, out of sight, out of mind.
