Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

But my memory of last night is blank.

What emerged even more clearly was the last time, in that dimly lit room, the strong smell of alcohol, Lin Ci'an's scarlet, predatory eyes, the rough force, the torn clothes...

And this time...

"Once...isn't that enough?"

His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, and he was trembling violently. Tears welled up without warning, blurring his vision in an instant. They rolled down his pale cheeks and hit the back of his hands that were tightly clutching the quilt, leaving them cold.

Chu Ziyu's tears were like boiling lava, falling drop by drop, not only hitting the back of her hand, but also hitting Lin Ci'an's heart.

Looking at the violently trembling thin shoulders, listening to the broken and desperate sobs and questions, Lin Ci'an's heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by an ice-cold hand, and the pain was so severe that it almost cramped.

Chu Ziyu raised her tearful eyes and looked at Lin Ci'an who was frozen in place. Her eyes were filled with deep despair and a sense of bewilderment after being completely destroyed.

"Lin Ci'an..."

He choked, each word seemed to be squeezed out from a broken heart, "What do you want from me?"

"My humble origins...isn't that enough for you to trample on?! You humiliate me time and time again...see how miserable I am...

Seeing me panic... isn't it fun?!"

He suddenly started coughing, his thin shoulders shaking violently, as if he was going to cough out all his internal organs, and his tears flowed even more violently.

"Do you really have to wait until I'm completely ruined... completely rotten in this quagmire... before you'll be satisfied?!"

Lin Ci'an almost couldn't control himself and walked forward, wanting to hug the curled up person tightly in his arms.

I want to wipe away those tears, I want to tell him that it is not like that, I want to apologize humbly - for the last time I got drunk and lost control, and even more for taking advantage of others and making despicable calculations this time.

(It hurts... seeing him like this... it hurts more than a knife cutting...)

A deep regret and pity almost overwhelmed his sanity.

The brokenness and despair Chu Ziyu showed at this moment hurt him more than any reaction he had expected.

But the next second, a colder reality pulled him back.

He can't be soft-hearted.

How did Chu Ziyu treat him after the last accident?

It was an even more distant and indifferent look, as if she turned a blind eye to him, as if he were some disgusting filth that she wanted to avoid as much as possible.

Even... he took out the gold, like sending away a pestering dog, and inflicted the most bitter humiliation in the most elegant way.

If he showed even a hint of softness or apology at this moment, it would only make Chu Ziyu more disgusted and stay away from him.

The distance between them, which was already unreachable, would never be bridged.

(Don’t be softhearted…Lin Ci’an, this is your only chance! Your only chance!!)

(Only by scaring him, making him hesitate, and forcing him to stay by your side! Even if it means tying him up in the most unbearable way!)

(Hate me, fear me...it's better than completely losing all trace and never being able to touch me again!)

The huge heartache and even more obsessive possessiveness tore wildly at his chest.

Finally, the eyes that had just revealed a hint of hesitation and pain were once again covered with gloom and cruelty.

His Adam's apple rolled violently, and he swallowed back the words of comfort that were almost out of his mouth.

Then he took a step forward.

The shadow enveloped the curled-up Chu Ziyu, bringing with it an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.

His voice was deliberately low and cold, even with a hint of sarcasm. Every word was like a poisoned ice cone, accurately piercing Chu Ziyu's most vulnerable spot:

"how?"

Lin Ci'an sneered and straightened his messy clothes.

"Your Highness, do you think that after all this, you can still pretend that nothing happened?"
