Jiang Yilai was stunned by his action, and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
Seeing his expression of grief and resentment, I felt as if I were guilty.
She did promise Li Luyao that she would never be with Fu Nanxiao before he agreed.
But matters of the heart are never under control, otherwise he wouldn't be in so much pain.
The scene seemed to freeze suddenly, creating a sense of oppression.
After a long silence, Li Luyao spoke up, breaking the deadlock.
"Perhaps I'm asking for too much. If you insist on being with him, of course I can't stop you."
Hearing his tone, Jiang Yilai felt frightened and quickly shook her head: "I didn't mean that."
“If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing now. I’m just telling you not to wear down my last bit of patience. I don’t want us to end up as enemies.”
"That day will never come."
"Then we'll have to see how you perform next."
Jiang Yilai nodded: "I understand!"
As she spoke, she looked up at Li Luyao earnestly and said to him sincerely, "Luyao, to me, you are a very special and important person."
"Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today, so I'm really grateful for everything you've done for me. You gave us three lives, and I will do whatever you ask me to do without hesitation."
Li Luyao replied with a heavy heart, "I told you long ago not to treat me as a benefactor. We can only have further developments when we are on equal footing."
Jiang Yilai shook her head slightly. She had indeed tried everything, but she just couldn't do it.
Li Luyao grasped her shoulders, making her look directly at him. He wanted to get a closer look into her eyes to see if she truly didn't care about him.
Normally, Jiang Yilai would avoid his gaze, but this time she didn't, and looked at him intently.
Li Luyao tried to glean something from her eyes, but they remained unmoved, while his heart was already pounding with excitement.
She doesn't love herself at all.
Why is it that, despite years of effort, I still can't make her fall in love with me?
Now that her heart is with Fu Nanxiao again, he will probably never have a chance.
The thought of such a possibility made Li Luyao feel like she was going crazy.
"No, I can't accept that. You should be mine."
After Li Luyao finished speaking, he grabbed her shoulders, pulled her towards him, and quickly kissed her.
When Jiang Yilai sensed something was wrong, she immediately turned her head away, and his lips landed on her face.
This action really startled Jiang Yilai. She didn't expect him to do such a thing suddenly. After realizing what was happening, she pushed him away forcefully.
"Lu Yao, let me go first."
This is her home, and there are other people around. He shouldn't have done this.
But today, Li Luyao seemed to be possessed and wouldn't listen, refusing to let go at all.
"Lai Lai, give it a try with me, I believe you'll like me."
"No, Lu Yao, calm down."
"I was too calm in the past and gave you too much space, which is why neither of us made any progress. I should have moved closer to you a long time ago, so that you wouldn't have gone back to him."
"That's not it, that's never been the problem."
Li Luyao became even more agitated: "So the problem is Fu Nanxiao's existence. If he dies, will you stay with me?"
Jiang Yilai forcefully pushed his hands away and stepped back, saying sternly, "That's not the reason at all. He hasn't been in my world for the past five years, but I still can't accept you."
