The cannon fodder heiress embarks on the path of cultivation.

063 Condition 2 for leaving

She quickly composed herself, reorganized her thoughts, and stared intently at the man in front of her, who was trying to appear calm. She asked softly, "So... do you really want me to come with you?"

Mo Wenchen clenched his fists tightly, shouting in his heart again and again: I must tell her these words!

However, despite the deafening voice in his heart, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, making it impossible to utter these words.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and say softly, "Do as you please. I... I will never force you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiuyue's lips twitched slightly.

If she hadn't keenly caught the fleeting, desperately concealed pleading look in his eyes, she might have naively believed that the man's thoughts and words were completely consistent.

Looking at Mo Wenchen's insincere expression, Chu Jiuyue felt a turmoil in her heart. Various complex emotions intertwined, making her mood increasingly heavy, and even a bitter taste that was hard to describe welled up in her heart.

Since they met, this man has been incredibly caring and considerate towards her. His gentle actions often make her unconsciously immerse herself in them, forgetting many of her past troubles and worries.

Sometimes, she even has the illusion that all unhappiness has vanished and life has become incredibly beautiful and peaceful.

However, whenever the night is quiet, the deep scar in her heart always aches, reminding her of the pain and betrayal she once suffered.

In the past, Chu Jiuyue always chose indifference and apathy as her shield to resist potential harm from the outside world.

She stubbornly believed that as long as she ignored those people and things, and didn't care about those so-called emotional entanglements, she could protect herself well and not let anyone have the opportunity to hurt her already wounded heart.

However, as time went by, she was shocked to realize that she had gradually lost herself without realizing it, and the strong, independent, and fearless woman seemed to be drifting further and further away.

Now, facing a man who treats her so sincerely, Chu Jiuyue suddenly felt lost and confused, unsure of how to respond to his deep affection. The conflicted and contradictory feelings in her heart were driving her crazy.

Originally, Chu Jiuyue was overjoyed, thinking that the matter would proceed very smoothly, even easily.

However, reality was quite different from her expectations. Instead of achieving the satisfaction she hoped for, she was enveloped by a deep sense of exhaustion and emptiness.

This feeling seemed to arise from the deepest part of her heart, silently eroding her body and mind.

The fear of potential harm had always lingered in her mind, causing her to gradually lose much of her fighting spirit and keen perception of things.

If it weren't for what happened today, perhaps she would still choose not to think about it deeply, simply feeling that as long as she stayed far away from those potential dangers, she could rest easy and not worry about whether she would be harmed in any way.

She naively believed that as long as she held firm to her inner defenses and resolutely refused, all the troubles would vanish like fleeting clouds.

However, she did not realize that many things in the world are not entirely under the control of personal will. Often, people are not in control of their own lives, and even if they rack their brains to think and plan, the final result may still be unsatisfactory.

In that instant, Chu Jiuyue's mind suddenly cleared up, becoming as bright and clear as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Although she knows she can never go back to the simple and fearless state she once was, at least she can now face reality honestly instead of running away like she used to.

She told herself to bravely face the challenges and deal with life's challenges with composure.

“I know you never forced me; it was all my own decision.”
