Don't meet me in your next life.

She tried to suppress her emotions and spoke as calmly as possible: "Li Shaojing, I... I can't marry you. I can't betray my husband."

Xiang Yiyi's words were like a pebble that struck Li Shaojing's heart, stirring up a thousand waves.

His breathing suddenly stopped.

She actually... said he was her husband...

His heart skipped a beat when he heard her say those words.

His face showed an expression of disbelief, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

"No, impossible! How could this be!" Li Shaojing abruptly released his grip on her chin. "You're lying to me."

"I...I didn't lie to you."

"You don't love me at all. Your talk of marriage is just a lie you made up to get rid of me and stop bothering me."

Why won't he believe her? Is that how he sees her?

"Yes, I admit it, I don't love you, but I can't betray my husband."

"If she didn't love me, why would she have my baby? Why would she marry me? Xiang Yiyi, you're a complete liar!"

Li Shaojing's words pierced Yi Yi's heart, one by one.

He actually blamed all the crimes on her.

Is it all her fault?

Xiang Yi felt utterly innocent!

“If you don’t believe me, even if I talk myself hoarse, it won’t make a difference.” Xiang Yi took a deep breath. “I think we won’t have anything in common anymore. Aren’t you busy with company matters? I’ll head back now.”

"Wait a minute," Li Shaojing called out to her.

Xiang Yi stopped walking without turning around.

"If you don't love me, why did you accept my marriage proposal?" Li Shaojing frowned.

This time, Xiang Yi remained silent.

She couldn't say it, and she didn't know how to answer.

"You loved me, didn't you? You loved me."

Xiang Yi's eyelashes trembled.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember, but I know I loved you."

"You're just giving me the runaround!"

“Everything I said is true.” Xiang Yi bit her lip. “Let me go. I don’t want to stay here anymore, and please don’t look for me again.”

"You can't leave."

"I will not marry you."

Li Shaojing looked at her, his eyes dark.

"The person you love is Jiang Jinyan, isn't he?" His gaze was intense and unwavering. "You don't want to marry me because your heart belongs to Jiang Jinyan."

Xiang Yi's expression changed.

She hadn't expected him to make that guess.

Xiang Yi pursed her lips and said, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, he and I are just friends."

"Just a friendship?"

Li Shaojing chuckled, but the smile seemed extremely sarcastic.

His hands gripped her slender shoulders tightly.

"Xiang Yiyi, do you think I'll believe what you say? Don't forget what kind of relationship I have with Jiang Jinyan. And there's that boy between you and him. Do you think I'm foolish enough to believe you?"

Xiang Yi felt as if her heart had been pricked by needles, and she was too sad to speak.

"I know that in your heart, I will never replace Jiang Jinyan. But can you tell me who that boy is? Why did you marry him, and what is your relationship with him?"

Xiang Yi lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Li Shaojing's heart felt as if it had been slashed open by a sharp blade, bleeding profusely.

Just because Xiang Yi didn't want to tell him about her relationship with Jiang Jinyan, did he assume that their relationship was completely innocent?

"I know," Li Shaojing suddenly sneered. "It's because of that boy, isn't it? You've gotten involved with him, so you want to get rid of me, right? Let me tell you, you're dreaming! I will never allow you to escape. Even if it means death, I will keep you by my side!"

"Don't go too far!" Xiang Yi glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Ha, I'm going too far?" Li Shaojing curled his lips in a mocking smile. "You think I don't know Jiang Jinyan's identity is extraordinary? He's not only the president of the Imperial Consortium, but also the military commander. You'd better figure out what your relationship with him is. You still want to elope with Jiang Jinyan? Do you think that's even possible?"

“I told you, I have nothing to do with him,” Xiang Yi retorted, not to be outdone. “Do you know me better than I do?”

"I don't care what your relationship is. I only know that from today onwards, you are my wife, Li Shaojing's wife, and the future young mistress of the Li family. You will never leave my side again!"

Li Shaojing's words struck her mind like a bolt from the blue.

"No...that's impossible."

How could her relationship with Jiang Jinyan be as Li Shaojing described?

There were transactions between them, but those transactions weren't based on feelings.

Xiang Yiyi felt as if her heart had been torn apart.

Her body swayed, and she almost fainted.

Li Shaojing quickly helped her up.

"Are you OK?"

A hint of heartache flashed in Li Shaojing's eyes.

Xiang Yi shook her head and struggled to leave.

But the moment her arm touched Li Shaojing's clothes, he suddenly pressed her against the wall, showering her with kisses like raindrops, domineering and wild.

"Mmm, mmm..."

Xiang Yi resisted desperately.

She cannot lose her virginity to him, absolutely not.

However, Li Shaojing was incredibly strong; he was like a giant python, clinging tightly to her and relentlessly demanding more.

The more she resisted, the more frantic he became.

Driven to desperation, Xiang Yi bit his tongue hard with her teeth.

Li Shaojing winced in pain and immediately released her.

"Xiang Yiyi, how dare you bite me!"

Li Shaojing's expression was gloomy, and he exuded a violent aura.

He pinched Xiang Yi's pointed chin with his fingers, making her look up at him.

Do you know how dangerous what you just did was?

Xiang Yi looked up at him stubbornly.

"So what? I'm going to bite you."

Li Shaojing laughed angrily, "Xiang Yiyi, do you know how irritating you look right now?"

"Yes, I deserve a beating, I wish I could bite you to death."

"You dare!"

Li Shaojing's face was dark and gloomy, as if his whole body was covered in frost.

She actually dared to bite him right in front of him.

Really desperate.

Xiang Yi snorted coldly.

"Don't forget, this is a hospital, nurses will be passing by anytime. I'm not a coward, I'm not afraid, so bring it on."

She raised her small face and stared at him without blinking.

Li Shaojing stared at her for a long time before finally giving in helplessly, "Fine. I'll show you how formidable the second young mistress of the Li family is."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi immediately panicked, "No..."

She couldn't continue entangled with Li Shaojing; she had to leave.

Otherwise, her affair with Jiang Jinyan would be exposed.

She needs to get out of here quickly.

"Get out of here right now!"

Li Shaojing saw through her thoughts and immediately yelled at her.

Xiang Yi pouted, "I won't roll away."

"You..." Li Shaojing was furious. He grabbed her slender wrist and dragged her toward the elevator.

Xiang Yi resisted desperately.
