Ji Yinbing looked at Yan Nuo, who was kneeling on the ground. Her gaze landed on the ring.
She clearly remembered that morning three years ago, she had thrown this ring into the lake. Was this still the one from before? Or did Yan Nuo find someone to make it again?
Ji Yinbing was thinking about something, and Yan Nuoâs gaze was filled with fear.
He had proposed to Ji Yinbing before, but too many things had happened after that. Arosengeâs sudden death, Veraâs revival, the childâs departure, Ji Yinbingâs white hairâ¦
Their first half of their lives had been too complicated.
Would she still agree to his proposal?
Ji Yinbing saw Yan Nuoâs lack of confidence.
So he was not confident too?
Yan Nuo knelt for a long time but did not hear Ji Yinbingâs answer. He started to panic and finally could not help but ask Ji Yinbing, âYou donât want to marry me?â
Ji Yinbing did not speak and only looked at her.
Yan Nuo hesitated for a moment before saying darkly, âBecause of that Craven?â
With that, he saw a flash of pain in Ji Yinbingâs eyes.
Was it really because of him?
âI know. Heâs dead.â Yan Nuo stared into Ji Yinbingâs eyes. Under her surprised gaze, he continued, âI also know that he lived with you in G Nation for a year. Even when he diedâ¦â Even though Yan Nuo refused to admit it, it was true that Craven was very good to Ji Yinbing.
He said in an obscure tone, âHe left the hope of survival to you. Is there someone else other than me in your heart?â This was the possibility that Yan Nuo did not want to think about and refused to believe.
At the thought that Ji Yinbing had someone else hidden in her heart, Yan Nuo was so violent that he wanted to kill someone.
But the person who might have been hidden in Ji Yinbingâs heart was already dead. What could he do?
This person was most afraid of meeting a love rival who was already dead.
Yan Nuoâs thoughts ran wild, but he saw Ji Yinbing shake her head. Ji Yinbing said, âCraven is someone I will remember with my life.â Hearing the wordsâ use my life â, Yan Nuo felt flustered. It was not an exaggeration to say that his heart was in a mess. However, Ji Yinbing added, âI will miss him, be grateful to him, and be ashamed to face him, but I donât love him.â
Yan Nuo thought about the truth of this. He was not confident and could not believe that Ji Yinbing was not moved after Craven had done so much for Ji Yinbing.
On the other hand, Yan Nuo knew Ji Yinbing very well.
She would not lie.
At the thought of this, Yan Nuo felt relieved.
Ji Yinbing took off her hat, and her white hair, which was hidden in the hat, fell down. White snow landed on her head, and they blended into one. She could not tell which was snow and which was hair. Ji Yinbing touched her hair and sighed softly. âYan Nuo, I thought I loved you. You know that.â
Yan Nuo looked at the white patch with sorrow.
His hands, which were holding the ring, started to tremble.
Noticing that he was trembling, Ji Yinbing watched the ring shake on his finger. She thought of many things in the past. âYan Nuo, do you know? Iâve been waiting for this day for twelve years.â Ever since she officially got together with him at the age of 18, she had been looking forward to this day.
âWhen you handed the ring to me for the first time, I was really especially excited. I thought that I was the happiest person in the world. But later onâ¦â Ji Yinbing felt terrible when she thought of those things. She stopped talking and took a deep breath of the cold air before asking Yan Nuo,â Yan Nuo, Iâll ask you three questions. Tell me the truth.â
Yan Nuo became serious. âAsk away.â
His tone was very serious.
Ji Yinbing asked him, âThe first question is, tell me the truth. Did you poison that cup of water?â
Yan Nuoâs heart ached. âYou still donât believe me.â After he saw the seriousness in Ji Yinbingâs eyes, he suppressed the pain in his heart and replied sincerely, âItâs not me.â After saying that, he asked Ji Yinbing, âDo you believe me?â
Ji Yinbing did not answer.
She asked the second question. âDid you and Vera sleep together?â She was referring to the scene she saw that night.
Yan Nuo said, âNever.â
Just as she finished speaking, Yan Nuo saw that Ji Yinbingâs gaze seemed to have become colder.
âIf I agree to your proposal this time, can I wait until the wedding date arrives? I donât want it to be like before. In the end, all that awaits me is despair.â When Ji Yinbing spoke this time, her tone was already very calm.
Her calmness made Yan Nuo uneasy.
Yan Nuo hurriedly replied, âYes! We can get married before June next year!â
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Yinbing laugh softly.
âHeheâ¦â Ji Yinbing had just laughed when her eyes turned red.â You lied to me! âShe suddenly became excited. Ji Yinbing threw Yan Nuo aside and turned to walk into the snow. Yan Nuo was stunned for a moment before he quickly stood up. He pinched his ring and strode towards Ji Yinbing.
On a snowy night, there were almost no cars on the streets.
Yan Nuo finally caught up to Ji Yinbing.
Yan Nuo pressed Ji Yinbingâs shoulder and turned her around. He lowered his head and roared at her, âWhat exactly are you suspecting! Thereâs something in your heart. If you donât tell me, how will I know if you donât tell me clearly!â This was the first time Yan Nuo shouted at her.
Ji Yinbing felt even more wronged.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She gave up after being agitated by Yan Nuo. âYou want to know whatâs in my heart, right!â
âSure! Itâs you, itâs all you!â
Ji Yinbing roared until her eyes turned red. âBut you lied to me! Yan Nuo, I love you so much. I can forget all the grudges from before and be with you again! But what about you? You lied to me again!â
âI didnât!â
âYou did!â
The two of them roared at each other like lunatics.
They were clearly the people who loved each other the most, but they had stabbed the sharpest and coldest knife in their hands into each otherâs hearts.
There was a popular saying on the InternetThose who love you hurt you the most.
They loved each other deeply. When they stretched out their fangs and claws at each other, not only were their flesh and blood blurry, but also their bodies.
Once her anger arose, how could she control it so easily?
Yan Nuo lost control.
Ji Yinbing also lost control.
The snow fell harder. They started to curse each other the worst.
Yan Nuo was extremely angry, and his words became more and more unpleasant. âDonât you know if I love you or not? For you, Iâve suffered so many cold glances over the years, do you know?â
âBecause you donât like India. You donât come back often. I always tell myself that I should accommodate you! In the end, even if I come to America ten times a year, you might not come back! Who doesnât love who! I think you donât love me at all!â
âShouldnât you be thinking about each other all the time if you love someone? Even if itâs not easy for us to meet, once we get intimate, you always shout in pain and tell me to be gentle. I even have to be careful when making love!â
