Getting off her car, Yang Sitong stood before Lu Yanchen. Coiling her loose threads of hair behind her ears, she tried concealing the uneasiness in her. “Yanchen, what are you doing here?”

She was the only one who knew that her heart was almost popping out of her mouth at this moment.

Lu Yanchen’s gaze was fixated on her with an icy coldness, looking indifferent on the surface. Yet, it was clear that he was trying to penetrate through to her bones, peering through everything she held.

After a moment, his ice-cold voice drifted out, “Haven’t I made it clear enough to you? Or do you really think that I wouldn’t do anything to you?”

Yang Sitong’s face gave off a bitter smile. “I’ve never once thought that you wouldn’t do anything to me. Even if I saved you, you chose to treat me colder than a mere stranger on the streets. Why…? I love you so much, but just why can’t you see it at all?”

Lu Yanchen was nonchalant toward her confession, unmoved in the slightest bit. “I’m not here to listen to you say all of those today. I only want to make a single thing clear to you.”

His gaze turned sharp as an icicle as he spoke without any single bit of tremor in his tone, exuding forth nothing but a frighteningly authoritative command, “As you’ve witnessed, I’m already married. As for anyone who dares to bring harm to my wife, I will make sure I carve into their minds the meaning of…’consequences’.”

A chilling gust blew by Yang Sitong’s entire mind as she stood rooted on the spot. She was so jealous that she almost got maniacal. “… You’re really going to be that heartless? For a single woman, you’re really going to kill this life savior of yours? This is a classic tale of the farmer and the viper 1 !”

Kill her… Those were words of spite.

But, Lu Yanchen replied indifferently, “Of course.”

Of course?

If anyone were to harm her, of course he would go after them.

At that moment, those were nothing more than the most hurtful words that Yang Sitong could have heard in this world. She felt as though her heart was being punctured by something continuously while her face drained of color.

“Lu Yanchen…!” She screamed out, slightly choked with tears. “IT’S ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!”

Lu Yanchen mocked out, “Love me? You love me enough such that you were dating other men?”

Yang Sitong was so shocked that her eyes widened.

How did he know about that…?

She shook her head in denial rapidly, “It’s not the way you think of it as! Let me explain…”

Lu Yanchen interrupted her, “There’s no need to. Whoever you choose to be with is none of my business. The only reason why I mentioned it was to clarify this—whether you admit to it or not, the marriage agreement was already made void back when you went to go get yourself a boyfriend!”

Pausing for a moment, he leaned in and added, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. You had better not use the excuse of loving me as a reason for you to go hurt her. No matter what you do to her, I’ll make sure you receive it full ten times harder.”

Even though it was a calm and unwavering voice, there was a sense of icy cold danger lurking beneath it, filled with a strong killing intent.

Once he said what he had to, Lu Yanchen glared at her icily before turning around to leave.

Yang Sitong had a feeling as though she had just been plunged into a thousand-foot-deep abyss. Bawling out, she wanted to hold him back. She knew that if she couldn’t call him back right now, she would lose him for life.

Running after him, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, Lu Yanchen halted in his tracks. Yang Sitong’s heart skipped with joy.

He still had feelings for her!

But, Lu Yanchen did not turn back, merely commenting coldly.

“I’ve got this feeling that you wouldn’t know what’s good for you. So, I don’t want to see you in this city for the next five years. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not holding back! Farmer and the viper? Viper eating the elephant? Whatever! To me, those are mere stories.”

Yang Sitong’s heart crashed down from its light skipping.

It was an indescribably miserable pain.

It’s over.

It’s truly over…
