Shangxinâs body jerked instantly and her eyes widened as she stared at the man before her.
âBrother Xiaosiâ¦â
âDo you still remember what you told me back then when I pushed you away? You said that weâd missed too much time with each other and that we shouldnât waste a single second of the time we can spend together.â Tang Yuansi raised his hand and pressed her head.
This action looked like it required quite a lot of effort on his part.
However, the affectionate look in his eyes was the same as usual.
âXinâer, promise me. No matter what happens, donât leave me. Donât give in to anyoneâs threat because of me.â
Without her and the baby, what was the point of him living a longer life?
ââ¦â
Upon hearing his words, Shangxinâs eyes turned red.
Tears were brimming inside her eyes and she suppressed them and tried her best not to let any out.
Her hands were gripping tightly onto the edge of his shirt.
She did not want to leave him, not in the least, but she simply could not stand by and watch him dieâ¦
âXinâer!â Not being able to get a confirmative answer from her, Tang Yuansiâs face fell and he placed his hands around her shoulders.
â⦠Alright.â Shangxin barely muttered with great difficulty.
Tang Yuansi watched her evasive gaze, his mood not changing for the better.
He could tell that she was simply just consoling him.
His gaze flickered and he took her phone out of her bag, passing it to her.
âCall Feng Ling now in front of me, and reject the deal with her.â
ââ¦â
Shangxin stared at the phone before her, instantly going into a daze.
The next second, Tang Yuansi had opened her palm, placing the phone in it.
âCall her!â
Shangxin grabbed onto the phone and looking at the furious Tang Yuansi in front of her, she bit her lip and hesitated, not moving at all.
Tang Yuansi suddenly released his grip on her and took a few steps back.
From a distance away, he looked at Shangxin, who only wanted him to survive, and was willing to leave him for that.
His eyes flickered slightly and other than feeling his heart ache for her, he was also filled with self-reproach.
He did not blame her and could even understand how difficult it must have been for her to make that decision.
Tang Yuansi took a deep breath in to make himself calm down, before looking up at Shangxin.
âLater I will call Uncle Shang to get him to take you back. You donât have to bother about my affairs in the future.â
ââ¦â
Shangxin abruptly raised her head and looked at him with alarm.
It was as if she did not understand what his words earlier had meant.
When she had recovered from her stupor, she hurriedly ran forward to hug him tightly. âIâm not leaving. I donât want to go back with Father, I want to stay here. Even if I canât stay by your side, just let me watch you afar!â
Shangxin anxiously grabbed onto his arm like a drowning person who was gripping onto her only lifeline.
During that one second when her eyes had met Tang Yuansiâs, she seemed to have suddenly understood something.
From the agitated emotions she was filled with, she instantly became silent.
She slowly let go of his hand and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
With her trembling hand, she bent down to pick up her phone which had fallen onto the ground.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The fear that Tang Yuansi had about not being able to see her was the same one she had just experienced.
If parting ways was worse than death to them, they might as well stay by each otherâs side until the very last secondâ¦
With tears in her eyes, Shangxin dialed Feng Lingâs number.
In front of Tang Yuansi, she turned on the loudspeaker and clearly informed her that she was canceling the deal.
She would not leave Tang Yuansi, and Feng Ling could save him if she wanted.
âAre you mad? Youâd rather watch him die than let me save him? Does a woman like you deserve to say you love him?â
