Chapter 12: Where Tears Fall

  Gong Ziji raised her head, with tear stains still on the corners of her eyes. Her red lips were swollen and bruised from being ravaged earlier, as if they were about to bleed. The tears in her eye sockets were still swirling, seemingly on the verge of falling.

  Ye Song Ge opened his dry lips and looked at Gong Zi Ji who was almost in a sorry state, suddenly not knowing what to say.

  Qian Lian Xia stood a few meters behind him, her fingernails digging deep into the palm of her hand. He walked into the warehouse, his eyes fixed entirely on that woman, he had never looked at her once, not even once.

  The night wind was cooler, and the dark air blew into the warehouse through the gaps, leaving no hole unentered. On the large bed that symbolized evil, a woman lay half-reclined, her red and swollen eyes fixed on the man's handsome face beside her.

  Situ Shangxuan made a gesture to the bodyguard beside him, and the bodyguard nodded immediately, went forward to disperse the crowd, and whispered a few words to them.

  Just a moment ago, the unrelated crowd in the warehouse left more than half of them.

  When the last photographer was about to leave the warehouse with his camera, Gongzi Ji's sharp eyes stared at his back and shouted wildly, "Stop, stop for me!"

  She sprang out of bed with a start, her battered body thudding onto the floor with a crisp crash that immediately made everyone's eyes turn serious.

  Gong Zijun gasped for the limited oxygen in her chest, her five fingers tightly grasping Ye Shengge's pant leg, weakly and desperately pleading, "Sheng, make him stop for me, he can't...can't leave, no..."

  Ye Shengge's eyes fiercely swept towards the photographer, her thin lips lightly spitting out a sharp phrase, "Did I tell you to leave?!"

  He bent down and helped Gongzi Ji up with his hand.

  The camera was stared at by his eyes, making him feel terrified, and he reluctantly cast his gaze upwards at Situ Shangxuan, before shrinking back in fear.

  Situ Shangxuan watched the warm scene unfolding in front of him, his red lips slightly raised, as if he was in a great mood. "He's right, you should stay."

  The photographer stood up with a start, his face twisted in a bitter expression. Who had he offended?

  Ye Sheng Ge was about to put Gongzi Ji on the bed when Gongzi Ji suddenly hugged his neck like a pin cushion, her weak body trembling like fallen leaves in the wind, and muttered unclear words, "Sheng, I don't want, no, no, no, I don't want to sit, don't make me sit."

  Ye Sheng sighed and let her hug his neck, "Alright, then let's go back."

  Gong Zi Xi was another burst of energy that escaped from his arms, leaning against his arm and pitifully locking onto his clear and bright eyes, asking cautiously, "Sheng, will you not want me in the future? I'm dirty, will you...not want me?"

  Ye Sheng Ge looked at her, for a long time without speaking, his eyes rippling with dark waves, the deep pupils suppressing layer upon layer of surging tides, swallowing everything in their ebb and flow.

  Gong Zijun's eyes gradually dimmed and her red lips turned pale.

  Chihiro's eyes snapped open, tense with anticipation as she waited for his response, her hands clenched into fists, her heart like a bowstring, ready to snap at the slightest touch.

  The strength of Gong Zizi was slowly diminishing, and his palms were about to leave his sleeves.

  Ye Song finally stretched out his hand in slow motion, gently pressing her into his arms. His magnetic voice was husky and calm, with a firm tone, "Won't!"

  Gong Zijun's eyes lit up instantly, his blood-stained hand grasped Cong's clothes, "Sheng, you're telling the truth?"

  Ye Sheng's deep eyes fell on her mottled hand, and he replied in a light tone, "Mm."

  That warm scene fell into her eyes, listening to those powerful three words, Qian Lian Xia had a feeling of heaven falling into hell in an instant. She helplessly slammed her body towards the back seat, her eyes filled with uncertain confusion and disbelief.

  Ye Song Ge half-supported Gong Zi Ji, supporting her who was covered in wounds, and walked step by step to their front, her deep eyes meeting Si Tu Shang Xuan's astonished emerald-like eyes.

  Her eyes were filled with ridicule, the evil charm on her thin lips had faded away, and a strong sense of injustice arose. "Situ Shangxuan, as a man, you are so despicable to bully a woman who is powerless to even truss a chicken, I really despise you!"

  "Ye Shengge, you allow your woman to bully my fiancée, is that something to be proud of?!"

  Situ Shangxuan smiled, his smile inexplicable. "I just taught her a lesson, if anyone is to blame, it's herself for being so careless."

  Situ Shangxuan's gaze locked onto Gong Zijun, his piercing emerald eyes making her so afraid that she buried her head into Ye Shengge's embrace. "If there's a next time, I guarantee, I'll give her an even bigger gift!"

  Ye Song's clear and bright eyes surged with dark waves, the hand grasping Gongzi Ji's shoulder tightened suddenly, "Situ Shangxuan, have you finally revealed your true face?"

  "Aren't you always forcing me to appear? Now the answer is right in front of you, isn't this what you've been aiming for all along?"

  Situ Shangxuan seemed to unintentionally throw a glance at Hao Lianyong, who was standing behind Ye Shengge, and brushed off the dust on his sleeve. "Ye Shengge, what you want to do is your business, I won't interfere, but if you dare to use her again——" His tone paused, and the consequences were imaginable.

  Ye Sheng Ge suddenly burst out laughing wildly, his laughter piercing through the warehouse space, arrogant and domineering, "Welcome anytime!"

  His black long hair danced on his forehead, covering those clear and evil eyes. "Video tape,"

  "I won't let you see," Shi Tu Shangxuan replied calmly.

  "That's good," Ye Songge said, putting his arm around Gong Zijun and walking out of the warehouse with him. Hao Lianyu followed behind them. From start to finish, he didn't take a single glance at Qian Lixia. If it was because he was worried about Gong Zijun earlier and didn't notice her, then now that they were so close, not looking at her again could only mean that he had completely ignored her.

  Qian Lian Xia suddenly stood up from her chair, her hands tightly clasped together, her eyes fixed intently on Ye Sheng Ge's back, a wave of sadness spreading, "Ye Sheng Ge, do you like this woman that much?"

  "Is this your so-called love?"

  "You only see her getting hurt, humiliated, but what about me? Don't you ever think about how she treated me? Do you know how she treated me? Ye Song, in your heart, what kind of person am I? How do you really look at me?"

  Qian Lian Xia's chest kept heaving, and with each questioning sentence that came out of her mouth, she couldn't help but want to laugh. If he wanted to explain things to her, he would have done so already; why did he need her to ask? But she just couldn't bear it, couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but ask.

  The man who kept saying he loved her, the man who only treated Gongzi Qi as a pawn. He made promises to the woman he regarded as a pawn, but completely ignored the woman he claimed to love.

  She doesn't understand, does she really not understand?
