Dongfang Yuâs words got more and more out of line as he spoke with a tone of amusement.
Hai Xiaotang felt both angry and amused.
âPlaying coy with you? Do you think thatâs possible?â She scoffed disdainfully.
Dongfang Yuâs voice turned cold. âIf not, then what business do you have here?!â
Hai Xiaotang thought there was something wrong with him.
âDidnât 1 already tell you, your wife asked me to come persuade you.â
âShe told you to come and you did?â Dongfang Yu scoffed, âDo you really care about me this much? 1 thought, even if I were really dead, you wouldnât bat an eye!â
For the first time, Hai Xiaotang saw a grown man being so petty.
Since he didnât appreciate her trying to talk him around, she wasnât going to waste her time.
Hai Xiaotang said indifferently, âYou think I wanted to come? I only came to repay you for saving my life. If you donât appreciate it, then so be it. Do whatever you like!â
With that, she turned to leave.
âStop    â
Dongfang Yu suddenly shouted out!
Hai Xiaotang turned back, irritated. âWhat now? Iâm very busy, if youâve got something to say, say it quickly!â
Dongfang Yu, however, suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
âYou admit that I saved you that day?â He stared at her, his question coming out in a low voice.
Hai Xiaotang didnât understand what he was trying to do, so she nodded. âYes, I admit.â
âAre you trying to repay me for saving your life?â He came to stand in front of her and asked again.
Hai Xiaotang instinctively took a step back to put some distance between them. âYes, I wouldnât mind paying you back. Butâ¦â/it has to be within my abilities.
âThen you must pledge yourself to me!â Dongfang Yu suddenly blurted out.
Hai Xiaotang was stunned.
The man looked at her sullenly, his voice equally somber. âTo you, wanting to repay me for saving your life, I only accept you pledging yourself to me!â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes widened, and she couldnât help but laugh.
âDongfang Yu, your head must have been damaged that day!â
âMy brain is no worse than yours.â
âHaâ¦â Hai Xiaotang sneered. âWho was the one looking like they didnât care if 1 came earlier? Now you want me to pledge myself to you, you must be sick!â
Dongfang Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him!
His grip was incredibly strong, not at all like a man with a broken rib.
Hai Xiaotang frowned. âWhat are you doing?â
Dongfang Yu wore an expressionless face. âI donât need your fake kindness, nor your concern just to fulfill a task. 1 only accept a pledge of yourself. If you canât do it, then leave! Stop bothering me!â
Hai Xiaotangâs expression flickered. She struggled to free her wrist. âFine, Iâm leaving now, let go of me.â
But not only did Dongfang Yu not let go, his grip tightened.
Hai Xiaotang struggled a few times, finding his grip as tight as a bull tendon.
The more she struggled, the tighter his grip becameâ¦
What angered her the most was that he put on an indifferent face, as if he was saying it didnât matter to him whether she stayed or left.
The issue wasâ¦
âLet go of me!â Hai Xiaotang lost her patience, increasingly convinced that he was crazy.
Dongfang Yu was getting angry for no reason. âIf you want to leave, nobodyâs stopping you!â
Hai Xiaotang startled.
What on earth was he saying?
I~Swear, she was so angry that she felt like her lungs were going to explode!
In her anger, Hai Xiaotang bit hard on the back of his hand!
Dongfang Yu suddenly felt dizzy, and his grip on her hand inadvertently loosened
Hai Xiaotang immediately took the opportunity to push him away and turn to leave.
But just as she made it to the door, there was a loud thud from behind her. It was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Hai Xiaotang paused in her step, hesitating to turn aroundâ¦
But to her surprise, Dongfang Yu had fainted!
