Wanxin thought about everything that happened that day, her heart suspended in midair, unable to settle down peacefully.
Fu Shihan stared at her as she sat upright without glancing away from the window, her eyes filled with gloom.
"If you hadn’t been secretly photographed, I would be in Italy right now, signing a contract worth several billion euros," Fu Shihan began coldly. "Do you think you’re worth several billion?"
His tone was flat, making him sound sowhat calm, but Wanxin knew this was just a facade.
"Not worth it," she replied, head lowered. "So you’ve co running back here, at a great loss."
No sooner had she finished speaking than she was violently yanked over by the person next to her.
Wanxin bumped right into his embrace, and looking up, she saw those dark eyes shimring with a cold light.
He had co straight from the airport, wearing a suit he wore for business etings, carrying his distinctive scent along with a faint sll of cigarettes.
"I’ve warned you to stay away from other n." Fu Shihan gripped her wrist tightly, anger beginning to spread within him. "Tell , what were you discussing alone so late at night with him, what did he say to make you smile at him so openly, without any guard?!"
"I... I was really just going downstairs to drink so water, and I happened to et him."
Wanxin’s explanation was feeble, she knew it wouldn’t satisfy Fu Shihan, but she didn’t know what else to say.
"If you don’t believe , there’s nothing I can do. Besides..." Wanxin took a deep breath, daring to challenge, "what right do you have to control ?"
"Su Wanxin."
He articulated her full na softly, causing Wanxin to shiver.
"Are you sure you want to add fuel to the fire right now?"
Fu Shihan scoffed.
"What right? When I picked you at the age of seven and brought you out of that orphanage, did you ever ask by what right I controlled you?"
He ntioned the past, causing Wanxin’s eyes to involuntarily redden.
Actually, back then, there were two people who t the Fu Family’s criteria. She and another girl were brought before Fu Shihan; he ultimately chose her.
In the blink of an eye, tears rolled down from Wanxin’s eyes. With lips tightly pressed and voice laden with sorrow, she said, "If I had known this day would co, I would have preferred you hadn’t chosen . I’d rather... I’d never t you in my life."
If you never see the light, you’ll never fear the dark.
If you can avoid intense joy, you naturally won’t have to endure the onslaught of sorrow.
He was the light of her life, it was him who made her realize that everything could pass in this world, except for him, he was the one she couldn’t get over in her heart.
Wanxin wept silently, unable to restrain her emotions for the first ti in such a long ti since her return.
She would prefer he had never chosen her, she would rather not have known him in this lifeti.
Wanxin’s words completely enraged Fu Shihan.
In an instant, the world spun around, and Wanxin found herself pinned down on the flattened seat before she could regain her senses. Her shirt was torn open, losing two buttons from her collar, which fell sowhere unknown.
Fu Shihan bit into her neck, wishing he could bite her to death, to consu her and absorb her into his bones.
"If you think of leaving, unless I’m dead, it’s all but a futile hope!"
His fierce voice rang in her ears as Wanxin despairingly closed her eyes.
She would not let him die; her only mission since joining the Fu Family at the age of seven was clear.
She was his amulet, even if she was to be shattered into pieces, she had to shield him from life’s adversities, ensuring his safety.
