Xie Yu'an, who had her back to her, laughed out loud. Turning around, the bright corridor made it clear that Xie Yu'an's face was cold and sinister: "You will do it willingly." She shook off An Cinian's hand.

Completely disregarding any sentimentality, he strode forward.

An Cinian, leaning against the wall, exuded a terrifying aura. What did Xie Yu'an want to do? What exactly would he do?

With a ding-dong sound, WeChat on my phone beeped.

She immediately opened WeChat, and her name was right in front of her. She clicked on it, and it read: "Ci Nian, Xie Yu'an spread all the rumors about you and me. He's gone mad. He's a lunatic. Ci Nian, you have to be careful."

Upon seeing this sentence, An Cinian seemed to know what Xie Yu'an would do, and immediately dialed the phone: "Lu Ye, Lu Ye, run, run!"

An Cinian sat helplessly on the floor of her living room, her eyes wide open, clutching her chest. It turned out that the woman who slapped her, the malicious rumors, the series of videos and photos that were released, and even the clarifications that were made against her and Lu Ye, were all orchestrated by Xie Yu'an. He just wanted to create a storm so that his plan could be implemented.

Xie Yu'an, when did you become so scary?

An Cinian couldn't sleep all night. She couldn't fall asleep at all because she kept thinking about everything Xie Yu'an had done.

She checked the time; it was already six in the morning. No, she couldn't go on like this. She had to go find Luye. She wondered if Luye had left yet.

Just as she was about to pick up her phone to make a call, the doorbell rang.

An Cinian stared blankly at the door, which kept banging. She was afraid that Xie Yu'an had come, or that he was going to threaten her again.

"Ci Nian, Ci Nian, are you home now?" Lu Ye's voice came through the door, filled with urgency and worry.

Hearing that familiar voice, An Cinian's heart tightened, and she quickly walked to the front door and opened it.

The once unrestrained and arrogant Lu Ye now looked anxious. Lu Ye's appearance startled An Cinian. Why would Lu Ye come to find her at this time? Why wouldn't he listen to her?

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart.

"Ci Nian, come with me quickly." Lu Ye held An Ci Nian's hand tightly, his eyes firm and urgent.

He couldn't leave An Cinian here to face the impending danger. He thought about it all night, packed everything up, and had only one thought in his mind: to take An Cinian away from all this again.

Just this one sentence, "Come with me," reminded An Cinian of the time when Lu Ye had said the same thing to her back in college.

"I don't care about these things."

An Cinian didn't care about whether she would die or not; what she cared about was whether Xie Yu'an would be safe.

"I care. I want you to be safe and happy, even if only for a brief moment. Ci Nian, come with me, okay?"

She pushed Lu Ye away back then; her whole heart belonged to Xie Yu'an. She couldn't do it, and didn't want to.

Just like now, An Cinian chose to stand still and refused to leave: "Lu Ye, don't try to persuade me anymore, you should go."

Lu Ye's eyes were red and swollen. An Cinian had rejected him back then, and he had been heartbroken for a long time. He kept thinking, couldn't An Cinian have at least lied to him? Even just saying something to give her time to think would have been fine. But An Cinian was too honest, so honest that it hurt him deeply.

He didn't understand love before. When he first met An Cinian, he just thought she was a nice and kind person. Gradually, he started to care and wanted to know if An Cinian was doing well.

He was reborn later, and he thought he had a chance.

But what?

Many times he regretted that he was a step too late. Xie Yu'an and An Cinian had known each other for much longer than them, even several years earlier. If only they had known each other first.

Why am I hesitating and unable to take a step forward?

And this one step late means a lifetime, and countless lifetimes.

"Xie Yu'an won't let you go, I beg you, please leave first~ Lu Ye, please leave quickly~" An Cinian's face was covered with tears as she pushed Lu Ye out with both hands, hoping he would leave quickly.

"Leave? An Cinian, where do you want to go?"

Thank you, Yu'an!

There were several men behind this man, all wearing sunglasses and with burly builds. This was Xie Yu'an's territory. Were they destined to never leave?

Looking at the two people in front of him, Xie Yu'an thought of the past.

That year, I was walking in the square when he was handing out flyers and doing odd jobs.

They were separated by the next street, and just as the girl in the white dress got into the car!

"Nian Nian?"

He was startled, as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place, his mind blank.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Xie Yu'an threw away the flyer in his hand, quickly realized what was happening, and immediately took off after them.

"No, don't go, please, stop, keep chanting!"

But suddenly his strength seemed to be drained away. Although he was breathing heavily, his chest felt as if it were being pressed down by a heavy stone. The air even became cold, making his throat feel suffocating.

Unable to produce a single intonation.

Some wounds can be deceived as long as they are left untouched. Once touched, the pain can penetrate even more intensely into the heart, causing unbearable agony.

The tear ducts will break down again, just like countless nights before, and tears will flow uncontrollably.

Now that I've found you, I won't let you go.

Xie Yu'an felt as if everything before him was a premeditated farce. He curled his lips into a smile, raised his hand, and the two bodyguards behind him immediately attacked.

Just as Lu Ye was about to fight back and prepare to fight the bodyguard, Xie Yu'an flashed to An Cinian's side with lightning speed and grabbed the woman who was trying to escape.

The difference between men and women is just that great.

With her left arm around An Cinian's waist and her right hand gripping An Cinian's neck, their lips and teeth intertwined, Lu Ye could not resist in front of everyone and could only watch helplessly as Xie Yu'an bit An Cinian's mouth until it bled.

"Xie Yu'an, do you even realize what you're doing right now?!"

Kano's voice echoed in the air, his eyes flashing with furious flames, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.

However, Xie Yu'an didn't care at all, and smiled contemptuously. Lu Ye was just making a futile struggle and posed no threat to him at all.

"An Cinian is my woman, Lu Ye. You're meddling too much. How dare you try to take away someone who belongs to me!" Xie Yu'an declared, asserting his ownership.

Lu Ye struggled desperately, trying to break free from the control of the two bodyguards behind him. He couldn't let An Cinian stay by Xie Yu'an's side. However, all his efforts were in vain; his hands were firmly pinned behind his back, and he couldn't move at all.

"Ci Nian isn't yours!" he could only scream helplessly.

Xie Yu'an glanced coldly at Lu Ye, then calmly ordered, "Take him away."

At his command, the two bodyguards immediately took action and forcibly removed Lu Ye from the scene, while Xie Yu'an took An Cinian back to the bedroom.

"You're so naughty, huh!"
