Lin Xihe looked up at Mu Ruoyan. His eyes were like stars shining brightly in the dark night. Just one glance could make someone fall deeply in love and unable to extricate themselves.
After all, Mu Ruoyan's appearance was truly breathtaking.
At this moment, Mu Ruoyan was gazing at her with deep affection. Lin Xihe felt her breath catch in her throat. In a panic, she quickly lowered her head, gathered her chaotic thoughts, and then spoke:
"Mu Ruoyan, I'm very grateful to you for saving me, but could we please stop entangled with each other from now on? I'm getting married in just over ten days..."
As soon as she spoke, she nervously awaited Mu Ruoyan's reaction, her heart pounding in her throat.
As soon as the words were spoken, the air in the room seemed to freeze instantly, the temperature plummeted, and a chilling cold permeated the air.
Lin Xihe lowered her head, not daring to look Mu Ruoyan in the eye. She was uneasy, afraid to see the hurt in Mu Ruoyan's eyes, yet hoping that he could understand her helplessness.
Mu Ruoyan also fell silent, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the space between them. Time seemed to stand still, and every second felt incredibly long.
Lin Xihe felt so suffocated that she could hardly breathe. This deathly silence was far more unbearable for her than any heated argument.
Finally, she broke the silence, her voice trembling slightly: "It's too late, I should go home now..."
After saying that, she got up and tried to leave the soft couch.
However, the moment she stood up, Mu Ruoyan reacted quickly, suddenly reaching out and pulling her back like an iron clamp.
Caught off guard, Lin Xihe sat back down heavily, a wave of panic washing over her. She was furious at Mu Ruoyan's forcefulness, yet saddened by her own powerlessness to resist.
"I said no."
Mu Ruoyan's voice was deep as she said firmly again, "I will not allow you to marry someone else."
His hand gripped Lin Xihe's forearm tightly, with such force that it seemed he wanted to crush her arm, as if only in this way could he integrate her into his life and never be separated from her.
"It hurts! Let go."
Lin Xihe struggled, trying to break free from Mu Ruoyan's grasp.
She tried to pry Mu Ruoyan's hands off with all her might, but after a few attempts, she gave up in despair, knowing full well that she could not break free from this shackle-like restraint.
Mu Ruoyan stared intently at Lin Xihe, the deep affection in his eyes transforming into a burning possessiveness.
"I'm in pain too, Lin Xihe, I'm in pain too!"
His voice was filled with suppressed pain and resentment: "I really thought about letting you go, but I can't do it. Every time I close my eyes, all I see is your image."
As he spoke, Mu Ruoyan could no longer hold on and leaned on Lin Xihe's shoulder, pressing down on the wound he had bitten himself, as if only in this way could he slightly alleviate the pain in his heart.
"I don't want to resort to despicable means, but if you want to leave me, I will." Mu Ruoyan's voice rang in Lin Xihe's ears, carrying a hint of determination and madness.
Lin Xihe felt the weight on her shoulder, and the pain made her even more rational; she was determined to sever all ties with him.
"Mu Ruoyan, relationships are a matter between two people; it requires mutual consent. What's the point of forcing it if I don't have feelings for you?"
"Do you really not care about me?"
Mu Ruoyan raised her head, her gaze fixed on Lin Xihe's eyes.
Lin Xihe felt flustered under his gaze. She was torn, unsure how to answer without angering him while maintaining her stance.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xihe asked in return, "Should I have it?"
"Whether it is or not, I can prove it myself."
Ignoring Lin Xihe's desperate struggles, Mu Ruoyan stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Immediately afterwards, her burning lips pressed down on his without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Xihe's eyes widened instantly, filled with fear and resistance.
She pounded her fists on Mu Ruoyan's chest like raindrops, and kicked with all her might, but Mu Ruoyan was as strong as an ox, and her resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely futile.
Mu Ruoyan's kiss was initially domineering and urgent, his intense possessiveness seemingly trying to completely integrate Lin Xihe into his own bones and blood.
His tongue forcefully pried open Lin Xihe's pearly teeth, wantonly plundering the sweetness in her mouth, as if he wanted to possess every breath in her body.
As the kiss deepened, his movements gradually slowed, becoming gentle and tender.
He gently nibbled at Lin Xihe's lips, sometimes holding her lower lip in his mouth and sucking on it gently, causing Lin Xihe's body to tremble involuntarily.
"See for yourself, you responded to me, stop being so stubborn."
Between kisses, Mu Ruoyan whispered breathlessly, his hot breath spraying onto Lin Xihe's cheek.
Lin Xihe shook her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept resisting this feeling in her heart, telling herself again and again that she couldn't give in.
Lin Xihe seized the opportunity, pushed with all her might, and turned to rush towards the door.
But Mu Ruoyan reacted extremely quickly. He stepped forward, grabbed her arm tightly, and pulled her forcefully, causing Lin Xihe to fall straight into his arms again.
"You tried to run yesterday? And you're trying to run again today? You can't escape now, do you know that?"
"Let me go! Mu Ruoyan! You're completely unreasonable!"
Lin Xihe's eyes reddened with anxiety, and hot tears welled up and slid down her cheeks.
Mu Ruoyan seemed not to hear him. His hands tightly encircled her waist, while his other hand gently stroked her neck, his thumb lightly caressing her delicate skin. The movements appeared gentle, yet they conveyed a force that left no room for escape.
