So he had been ignoring her all this ti because of this issue?
"Little girl, tell , why do you want to transfer the An Family’s business overseas? Don’t tell you think once it’s abroad, I won’t be able to do anything to you, right?"
An Yan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don’t understand business matters. However, I believe that as long as it can make money, whether it’s dostic or overseas, it’s fine. Don’t you want our family business to reach new heights?"
"Heh."
Li Tianyao laughed, extending a finger to gently caress her cheek. "So, this really wasn’t your idea? Tell the truth!"
An Yan nodded, "Of course not!"
Li Tianyao withdrew his finger and took out his mobile phone, activating an audio file.
An Yan’s voice ca through, "Big Brother, have you ever thought about taking the business abroad?"
At just one sentence, An Yan’s face instantly turned pale, "Where did you get this recording... Are you spying on ?"
"Don’t change the topic. Look in the eyes and tell , was it really not your idea for An Yaoluo to shift the business abroad?"
An Yan’s breathing grew heavier, "Li Tianyao, have you ever trusted at all?"
"How can I trust you?" Li Tianyao tossed the mobile phone onto the coffee table. "An Yaoluo is in Yuncheng, eting with Mo Shiyan’s people! Little girl, you’ve got so nerve, haven’t you? I haven’t even lost my mind, and you’ve already lined up your next move!"
An Yan felt extrely aggrieved, "I never t Mo Shiyan. I just stayed for a while in the hospital lobby and then ca back."
"So, you regret it? Wasn’t it because you knew Wen Ya had a tracker on her that you didn’t dare to et Mo Shiyan?" The man glared at her coldly. "Those rumors online, did you start them yourself? Did you want to use other people’s words to let know how well-matched you are with that Mo Shiyan?"
"No!" An Yan was both angry and anxious. "I didn’t do it, Li Tianyao, believe !"
"How can I believe soone who has been longing to leave ?"
An Yan’s face was taut, her heart feeling desolate.
She admitted that she had indeed suggested to her brother to move the business abroad, as a ans to escape his control. But that was only a last resort. As long as they got along well, she had no intention of using that way out. But now that he had seen through her intentions, whether she wanted to use it or not seed no longer important.
"I’m telling the truth! Believe it or not!" An Yan pressed her lips together tightly.
The man faced her with an icy stare.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and pushed her down onto the sofa. A fiery kiss with a fierce breath landed on her lips.
An Yan was furious, struggling with all her might. But against Li Tianyao, her strength ant nothing. The more she struggled, the more he wanted to suppress her!
Until she could no longer move, she realized that her defiance would only make things worse.
Yet not resisting was unbearably difficult! Tears rolled uncontrollably down her face. She resigned herself, stopping all resistance and struggle.
Her quietness eventually cald him down as well. His hand propped up beside her ear, his amber eyes fixed on her face. "Little girl, I know what you’re thinking. You’re hoping I’ll have an episode, so you can leave , right?"
"That’s not true."
"You had An Yaoluo transfer the business abroad, thinking I wouldn’t be able to control you anymore, didn’t you?"
"No."
"Little girl, I’ve told you not to play tricks on . Why can’t you rember that?"
The man ignored her repeated denials, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"I told you not to go into the mountains, but you didn’t listen. You insisted on running into the mountains to dig graves yourself. You were almost killed in that grave.
"I sent people to find the Golden Thread Worm for you. They died, and you said you felt bad. What do you feel bad about? Are you blaming for my reckless disregard for their lives?
"Do you think in your heart that I’m a bad person, a villain, a monster? Is that why you’re scheming to leave ?
"You ran away alone, afraid I would target the An Family, so you even wanted to take An Yaoluo and the others with you, didn’t you?
"Yuncheng is near the international border, and the Mo Family has significant influence there. You ticulously planned to co here to pave the way for your future plans, didn’t you?
"In front of , you pretend to be obedient, feign being well-behaved, but it’s all just to deceive , right?"
An Yan was frightened by his words, "No! I didn’t an to run..."
But Li Tianyao’s emotions flared up, and he wouldn’t listen to her. "I think I’ve been too indulgent with you, to the point where you’ve forgotten that in front of , you have no power to resist at all. I haven’t touched you because I respect you! But what about you?"
He angrily tore her dress, exposing large patches of her skin. His voice was cold and fierce, "Since you don’t want this respect, then forget it!!"
An Yan was both ashad and angry, wanting to fight him desperately, but reason made her calm down quickly. She didn’t resist; even when she was left almost naked, she did not resist anymore.
She just looked at him, "Li Tianyao! Whether you believe it or not, that wasn’t my intention. I admit that I didn’t listen to you about going into the mountains, because I was too eager to find the Antidote. I feared if I was slow, the poison of the Golden Thread Worm would act up. I feared I wouldn’t survive until you ca to your senses."
Li Tianyao stiffened, "What did you say?"
"I said, I feared I’d be too slow and wouldn’t survive until you ca to your senses. Although I really don’t want to admit it now, I have fallen in love with you. Li Tianyao, I’ve fallen in love with you, you bastard."
An Yan turned her face away, tears flowing like a torrent!
She didn’t know when it started. Was it when he risked exposing himself to save her from the jaws of a shark? Or was it when he knew she was delaying the wedding but still indulged her, agreeing to follow ancient customs? Or perhaps it was when he unhesitatingly agreed to use his blood to trade with Gu Shifang for her Antidote? She couldn’t rember. All she knew was that Mo Shiyan had taken a bullet for her. Yet, because she was worried Li Tianyao would be angry, she hadn’t even bothered to express her gratitude, wanting only to clearly distance herself from him. It was in that mont she realized she had fallen in love with him. She found herself secretly observing him, worrying about him, not wanting him to suffer, and even forced herself to empathize with him, to understand his thousand years of loneliness and desolation. There was even a mont when she thought, should she also research the Immortality Technique? To accompany him through lifetis?
Now, being pinned down by him, her heart was full of grievances and sha. A phrase she couldn’t rember where she had read suddenly popped into her head: In love, the one who falls first is the loser. She thought, she must have lost!
While she struggled to control her swirling emotions, Li Tianyao’s eyebrows slowly knitted together. His expression beca a bit confused.
After about a dozen seconds, his consciousness gradually returned. Looking down at the young girl with tears streaming down her face, a surge of self-reproach rose in his heart.
He couldn’t rember what had just happened, but it seed like he was forcing her? This wasn’t right! How could he possibly force the little girl?
