"I'm not allowed. He took a deep breath and said bluntly.

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment.

She had expected many reactions he would have, and she had thought of countless responses, but she had not imagined that he would refuse without hesitation.

"Cheng Lie...... Why?" she asked, licking her somewhat dry lips and looking at him in disbelief.

He raised his lips and smiled, a smile unlike anything he'd ever seen before, clearly smiling, but more uncomfortable than crying.

Many times, a man's way of expressing pain is not necessarily crying, especially in front of the person who hurt him.

He resisted his desire to crush everything. Trying not to pay attention to her own hollow and bloody heart, which seemed to be shot in the chest after she said those words, was pierced through the hole.

His dark, emotion-making eyes looked at her quietly.

"You're going to leave me, huh?" he didn't ask for her opinion, nor did he expect anything from her, and announced to himself, "But, rest assured, I won't let you have this chance to escape." ”

"Cheng Lie, it's not what you think...... I'm just-" She paused, what was she? Just wanted to go to a small island across the ocean to meet Pei Yuansheng? Will Cheng Lie believe her?

Her eyes were burning, her lips squirmed weakly a few times, and she couldn't make any sound at once.

In the suffocating air, he felt like he was losing his patience.

In front of someone who was trying to convince himself to allow her to leave him, the mixture of pain, reluctance, despair, anger, and other emotions came at him like a giant beast, and he couldn't think at all, and the only way was to fight it with all his strength.

He looked at the woman in front of him with a tangled and hesitant face, and a thought slowly rose in his heart, that is, he couldn't let her go no matter what.

This is his woman, the only woman in his life, whether he is selfish or a bastard, he only knows that if she leaves him, his world will collapse.

The fear was no less than the fear he had when he desperately hugged her motionless as her heart stopped beating and breathing.

He had managed to snatch her back from death, and now that he was recovering day by day, how could he let him go and watch her throw herself into the arms of others?

Does she really love him?

Did she really love him?

Isn't it said that it will be good for a lifetime?

……

All sorts of thoughts crossed his mind, like matches in the darkness that were polished and quickly extinguished by the wind.

In desperation, he just wanted to hold on to her tightly, to the woman who had given him warmth and tenderness.

"Cheng Lie...... I beg you, will you let me go to him?I have something to say to him, and I promise you that I will be back soon—" she begged with difficulty.

"I won't trust you anymore. He suddenly got up and stared at her with a look as cold as frost and snow, "Tang Xiao, I won't let you go." You don't even have to think about it. ”

"Not what you think......" She shook her head weakly, looking at the tall and indifferent man in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the impression he had made on her when they first met.

There may be a gap between him and him in the real sense, she is used to his obedience and tenderness to her, and she has forgotten how proud and powerful he used to be.

"What is your secret, let me guess, to deceive me, to gain my trust, and then let me give you to him, or to make me pity you, and to be played with by you like a fool in front of you?" he said sarcastically.

"No, Cheng Lie, I don't know how to explain it to you, but I promise you, after this incident, you will understand all the truth, okay? Cheng Lie, I really have never betrayed my relationship with you......" She looked at him anxiously and said.

"Never betrayed?" Cheng Lie smiled, and at the same time, his dark eyes became even colder, "If you really didn't betray your so-called feelings, you wouldn't have hidden something from me until now, and you wouldn't have said in front of me that you were going to leave me and find another man, Tang Xiao, are you really an iron person for me? Or is it when my heart is made of diamonds?"

Tang Xiao looked at him in amazement, and for a moment, she understood the mistake she had made, that is, she was used to being protected and therefore overestimated Cheng Lie's endurance, he was always giving her a sense of security, but she forgot that he also needed a sense of security, how can there be any strong and weak in love, people in love are all the same easy to be hurt by each other, no matter how invincible this person seems to be.

There was no light in the room, and the bloody sunset outside the window reflected in, plating a hazy afterglow on the man standing by the window, this scene was as familiar as a dream, Tang Xiao was stunned and wondered, whether she had seen such a scene in a dream, she tried hard to recall, so that she felt that everything in front of her was also like a dream. The man's face stained with the setting sun was also so unreal, his back was straight, and his posture was as proud as a cedar, but there was a hint of imperceptible fragility in that deliberate indifference, which made her feel terrified and unfamiliar, this should not be him, but it was indeed him.

She even wished that it was really a nightmare, and if it was a dream, why didn't she wake up?

"I'm sorry......" she finally muttered after a long time.

But she forgot that he was so proud that he didn't need a futile apology from someone who had hurt him.

"I don't accept it. He leaned over and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him.

As soon as she touched his eyes like ice and snow, she subconsciously trembled slightly. His hand tightened slightly, and she felt a little pain in her jaw from being pinched by him, but she didn't dare to make a sound easily.

"Have you forgotten after all this time," he said softly, as in the old days, but in a cold and mocking tone, "I'm a willful ruffian—falling in love with a woman you like is like looking at a dress in a window, and if you say you will get it back, you will get it back." In this place of Chengbei, what do I dare not do, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Her breath was choked, and she heard the completely unfamiliar Cheng Lie continue: "Do you know what a person like me will do when he catches a disobedient prisoner?"

“……”

He didn't intend to listen to her answer, just as a cat enjoyed the teasing process more after catching a mouse, and his sensual and graceful lips provoked a thin smile, and whispered, "I will handcuff him and lock him in a small dark room, and he will not see anyone but me...... If you want to escape, how can you escape if you fall into my hands? ”

Only then did she feel a hint of fear, glared at him in disbelief and asked, "You...... What are you going to do to me?"

He let go of her jaw and touched her face, and the fear in her eyes stabbed him again, and he did not want her to be afraid of him, but he was afraid that she would leave him more than anything else, so much so that he would rather she have to submit to him because she was afraid of him.

His head hurt, and it was dark for a moment in front of him, and he couldn't tell whether it was the pain caused by a low-grade fever or the pain caused by the blood clot in Yan Ling's mouth pressing on the nerves. The slightest wisp of pain made him lose his former sanity and sobriety, and he was like a drunken man, allowing himself to rebel against everything that made him feel painful.

Perhaps he would like to thank him for his lack of sobriety, if he was still the one who kept his senses, he would have restrained himself again and again, not to hurt her, not to reject her.

After all, he loved her so much that he would rather lose his life than lose her.

"You'd better lie here obediently and don't go anywhere, if you don't obey, I'll handcuff you and lock the door with chains......" His soul was divided into two, one was driven by pain and pain to speak extremely cold words to him, and the other looked helplessly at what was happening in front of him with what was left of his sanity.

"Cheng Lie, don't ...... like this" A layer of water suddenly appeared in her frightened eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded, and the room was invaded by the pervasive darkness. The two of them were like animals dormant in the dark, desperately resisting each other, but their hearts were full of fear.

It's nothing but a dying throe. The soul who watched from the sidelines said to him that she no longer loves you, and that a person who does not love you will not be happy even if she stays with you.

But so what? Love or not, since you say that you will be together for a lifetime, you must be together for a lifetime, and you can't miss a second.

His hands clamped tightly on her shoulders, and in the darkness, she couldn't see his eternally upright body trembling slightly. He closed his eyes, trying to dispel the black mist that hung in front of him. He wanted to see her face clearly, even if there was no trace of warmth on her face.

"Don't go. His voice was hoarse, like that of a traveler walking in the endless desert who had not seen an oasis in a long time, and he tried to see her, but before him appeared her smile sweetly at him—it was his mirage.

"Cheng Yeol, you ......" she tried to wrestle her shoulder, his hand was so tight that she even had the illusion that he was going to pinch her to death.

"It hurts, Cheng Lie, can you not ...... like this"

The apparition was gone, and she was frightened and endured in pain before him, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and she must hate him even more, and she couldn't wait to go to the one who could bring her the most complete happiness.

"Starting today, I will confiscate your mobile phone and cut you off from all contact with the outside world. He let go of his hand and coldly announced to her, "You won't have a chance to connect with anyone else, let alone get out of here." ”
