Why not

  He suddenly stood up, while the chair behind him was still firmly planted on the floor. I stared at him in terror, afraid of what he might do next. But to my surprise, he simply waved his finger and the other chair by the table almost imperceptibly stopped right behind me. I looked back and understood what he meant, so I sat down.

  He looked at me with a satisfied gaze, then sat back in that chair and said coldly: "Have you chosen your formation?" His voice was calm to the point of being terrifying, an aura of majesty emanating from him. I didn't even dare to look straight into his eyes, lowering my head to stare at my fingers.

  As for what he said about the position, I really can't understand what it means anymore.

  "Think carefully, if you choose her, after tonight, I won't let you see tomorrow's sun."

  I froze, I even forgot to be afraid, lifted my head, and looked at him. The meaning of his words was clear: he wanted to kill me! When I saw his handsome face without expression, I even doubted if I had misheard earlier. As soon as I frowned, his voice came over clearly.

  "You didn't hear wrong! If you choose Yun Lian, I will unceremoniously... kill you!" An even colder voice than before, and in those eyes, a murderous intent was spreading.

  I shook my head, no! I don't want to die, this is my instinct for survival.

  "Great! Then let's expose the truth together!" He suddenly changed the subject, and I didn't even have time to adjust. Perhaps seeing that I hadn't responded, he asked somewhat displeased: "What?"

  "No!" I shook my head like a willow in the wind, but there was one thing that was very clear in my mind - something must have happened between him and Xiaoma, but what...

  "I don't want to get involved!" No hesitation! I said it straight out, hoping he could understand my feelings. Then I added hastily: "As for the Huo family, I was originally a person unrelated to them! And I also hope that after some time has passed, I can leave here and start my life anew. Coming here wasn't something I did willingly!"

  Although I didn't say the details, at least I want him to know that I'm not going to be a pawn for Xiaoyu's mother here, nor will I do things for him! All I want is to wait until graduation, and then I'll disappear from the Huo family, change my name and start anew, that's what I really want!

  He suddenly burst out laughing, as if I had told a ridiculously funny joke, and I even saw his body shaking violently, puzzled, I furrowed my brow.

  But in the end, I couldn't bear it anymore! I let out a loud roar: "Is this really that funny?" My voice was so loud that even I myself was startled by my own voice.

  Fortunately, he stopped and just looked into my eyes with a complex expression. I couldn't describe it, but my gaze was firm. This is my choice, not Yun Lian, nor him, but myself!

  "Considering your courage, I'll give you some advice! Do you think she will let you off if you just behave? Do you think you can still leave after entering the Huo family? Do you think you have a choice?" He covered his mouth and smiled at me lightly, while I was like a wooden stake, stuck there. Why? Why not? For more exciting content, please visit
