[I respect your decision], for Jing Jiaren, this means "respecting" him.
To Ximen Longting, it was unnecessary nonsense, the fuse that lit his fuse!
"Respect, such respect!" Ximen Longting was furious, "What decision do you want to respect of mine?"
Her shoulders were so painful from his grip.
"I said the decision to break up? The decision to let you go?"
"..."
"Huh? You can do whatever I tell you - right?"
Jing Jiaren bit her lower lip tightly: "Otherwise, tell me, what else can I do! Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you? And then you kick me off? Do you insist that I surrender completely to you?
Are you willing to be under your feet?!"
A gust of wind.
Ximen Longting's slap came down, but did not hit her face.
His hands were visibly shaking, and his eyes were so red that they were oozing with color.
The next second, he slapped himself hard in the face!
Jing Jiaren was startled and stared at him with wide eyes.
"Get out of here, get out of here right now." He chuckled mockingly, "How could I fall in love with such a heartless and unjust woman like you?"
"..."
"I deserve it, I brought it upon myself! I already know what kind of person you are!"
Jing Jiaren looked at the slap marks on his face, he hit her hard.
"Ximen Longting, I don't know why it's like this..." Jing Jiaren stretched out her hand to shake his hand tentatively.
Ximen Longting dodged away without leaving a trace and took a few steps back.
"You said before that as long as I'm by your side, you'll be fine."
"I'm greedy, blame me for being greedy!"
I used to think that it would be fine as long as this woman lived, and then she did.
He thought that as long as she was by his side, it would be fine, but in the end he had her...
He is still not satisfied and hopes that she will love him. He has the most important weight in her heart.
His fault, he shouldn't be so dissatisfied!
Ximen Longting smiled strangely. All he wanted was a first-rate exchange. He loved her and she loved him. With such a simple request, was he really too greedy?!
"go out."
Jing Jiaren stood still, and her body was pulled by a force. Ximen Longting unscrewed the lock and struggled to open the door.
Ji Zihan stood at the door, holding tea in his hand, as if eavesdropping...
When she met Ximen Longting, she was immediately embarrassed and frightened: "I... I asked the servant to make tea. I heard you are here..."
Ximen Longting suddenly approached her: "Are you afraid of me?"
Ji Zihan tightened her grip on the tray and stepped back.
"Tell me, did I hit you or scold you?" Ximen Longting came closer.
Ji Zihan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
Ximen Longting pinched his sharp chin, and he said angrily: "I want you to speak!"
Ji Zihan tried his best to calm down: "You didn't hit me, nor did you scold me..."
"Why are you afraid of me?"
"I'm afraid of you because I'm afraid of making you unhappy," Ji Zihan's eyes were slightly red, "I'm afraid that you will hate me and drive me away."
Ximen Longting turned slightly sideways and stared at Jing Jiaren——
As if asking, did you hear it?
Ji Zihan is so afraid of Ximen Longting because she loves him and values him. She cares about his every emotion and takes care of him in every aspect.
He doesn't ask for Jing Jiaren's love, as long as he can show the slightest bit...
This unresponsive feeling made him feel as desperate and fearful as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Jing Jiaren opened her eyes silently: "I'm sorry."
