At that moment, the air inside the room seemed to freeze instantly, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Lin Xihe slowly got off the stool and stood in front of Gu Qinghuai, appearing even more delicate and petite. She tightly gripped the piece of letter and took a few steps back uncontrollably.
"Yes?" Gu Qinghuai's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a dangerous aura. He squeezed the remaining letter in his hand into a ball.
"What promise did you give him?" His gaze was fixed on Lin Xihe, as if trying to see through her.
"It's nothing, you...you shouldn't be like this." Lin Xihe looked at Gu Qinghuai's blood-red eyes and felt a surge of inexplicable fear. Her voice trembled involuntarily, and her body shook slightly.
"Then do you remember the promise you made to me?" Gu Qinghuai pressed forward step by step.
"Can we forget the past...? I don't have you in my heart anymore, and I'm not the Lin Xihe I used to be. Let's stop torturing each other, okay?" Lin Xihe said as she continued to back away, trying to create distance between herself and Gu Qinghuai, but her back soon hit the cold door, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuai appeared to her like a ferocious beast ready to devour her, filling her with fear.
"In this lifetime, unless I die, we will never be separated." Gu Qinghuai's tone was resolute.
Lin Xihe felt that Gu Qinghuai must have gone mad at this moment. She turned around in a panic, reached out to pull the door, and wanted to escape from this place that terrified her.
However, Gu Qinghuai was faster. He stepped forward and pinned Lin Xihe against the door. Then, he shouted to the outside, "Guard the courtyard. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed without mercy."
A voice answered from outside the door: "Yes."
Then, the footsteps faded into the distance.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Xihe's eyes widened, and her voice became shrill with extreme fear.
Gu Qinghuai stopped speaking, as if his long-suppressed emotions had finally burst forth. He suddenly leaned down and kissed Lin Xihe's slightly trembling lips. His actions were domineering and forceful, leaving no room for negotiation and not giving Lin Xihe any chance to refuse.
Lin Xihe struggled desperately, pushing against Gu Qinghuai's chest with both hands, but her strength was useless against Gu Qinghuai.
In desperation, she bit down hard, first drawing blood from Gu Qinghuai's lip, then biting the tip of his tongue. A faint taste of blood filled their mouths, but even so, it couldn't stop Gu Qinghuai's fervent and stubborn actions.
Gu Qinghuai seemed to have fallen into some kind of frenzy. Ignoring Lin Xihe's tearful protests, he took a few steps forward, picked her up, and carried her straight to the bedside.
Lin Xihe struggled and protested incessantly, but Gu Qinghuai acted as if he hadn't heard her at all, ignoring her pleas.
"Xihe, you can never marry someone else."
