Chapter 16: Forgetting is so brief

  Situ Shangxuan's slender jade fingers fell on her forehead, the scorching sensation in his palm making his heart panic. Was he, after all, too late? Because of his arrogance and pride, because of his extreme self-confidence, was everything ultimately too late?

  "It's not the first time he's taken advantage of me, so why do I still feel hurt, very hurt? Shang Xuan brother, can you tell me why?" Qian Lian Xia asked with her misty tear-filled eyes.

  Situ Shangxuan's deep and beautiful eyes fixed on her, as if to see through her soul to the deepest part of her.

  Before she could react, he suddenly leaned in close to Chihiro's cheek, his icy lips carrying scorching heat and a burning breath as he kissed her cheek, kissing away the rolling tears. In the wet, hot kiss mark, he muttered to himself, "Chihiro, forget about him, let me take care of you, okay?"

  Outside the dimly lit window, the night curtain, the indoor space with bright lights, a tall and slender man in a white suit bent down to kiss the delicate face of a petite and weak woman, every whisper was a vow planted in their hearts.

  "Zhou Zhou, let's get engaged. I want you to be the only wife of Shi Shangxuan. I'll do everything for you and make sure you're happy, won't let you get hurt, and won't make you cry. Okay?"

  His words were so firm and powerful, Qi Liang Xia's clear eyes fixed on the skin in front of her without a single pore, followed by the handsome face next to her eyes, she couldn't say a word. Her heart was very messy, extremely messy, she resisted that painful yet gradually clear love, facing this sincere and extraordinary man, suddenly confused and at a loss. Just like all the complicated emotions were burned together in a fierce fire, and she, powerless to struggle free, had nowhere to escape and couldn't face it.

  Although it was too cruel, Qian Lixia still pushed him away without hesitation, turned her head and dodged her eyes, retreating step by step. "Shang Xuan brother, I'm sorry, I'm not ready yet."

  Cai Tu Shangxuan's bright and shining eyes dimmed after hearing her words, a hint of bitter smile escaped from the corner of his lips. He took another step towards her, suppressing the pain in his heart, "Zhou Zhou,"

  He watched as she slowly backed away, though only a few steps apart, it was a distance that spanned the heart. "No matter how long, I'll wait for you, until the day you accept me—"

  "Stop it, Shang Xuan gege, I really can't take it anymore..." Qian Lian Xia's tearful head shake was suddenly interrupted as she turned and rushed out of the room.

  The beauty left like a gust of wind, almost taking away the warmth from his body at the same time. Perhaps this night was really cool.

  Qian Lian Xia rushed down the slide and out of the villa, passing by servants and stewards who only saw a fleeting shadow before they could react.

  "Master," the bodyguard regained his composure and asked uncertainly, looking at Sze-toh Sheung-yuen who was standing on the spiral staircase: "Do you need me to chase after Miss?"

  Situ Shangxuan stood at the top of the spiral staircase, his cold and lonely figure exuding a deep sense of desolation. The beautiful silhouette outside the villa finally faded into the night, no longer visible.

  Situ Shangxuan turned around and faintly opened his lips, "No need, let her go, remember to help her keep the door."

  "Yes, young master!" The steward looked up at the figure of his own young master, with a strong sense of sorrow. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, only one Miss Qian could make the young master have such a human expression.

  The night is quiet, but the traffic on the commercial street still comes and goes, the red and green lights change colors, the neon lights are still shining brightly, and the window lights reflect the scenes inside. In this vast world, there are countless people living for their so-called purposes, whether it's using others or being used by others.

  She rushed out of the villa, and Qian Lixia's footsteps didn't stop. The cold wind was blowing on her face with a sharp chill. Only in such a bleak and dark night could the tears that burst from her eyes not be seen by anyone.

  Cry out all the tears without restraint, after suffering once, her gradually clear and calm emotions should be forced to withdraw and slowly forget. For a man who calculates and uses her every moment, she is not worth it.

  There was a faint, almost inaudible footsteps following behind her, and instantly, a word surged up in Chihiro Natsu's mind - stalker?

  She slowed down her pace and switched to walking. The person behind her seemed to know that she had noticed something, and the footsteps became so light that they were almost inaudible.

  Qian Lian Xia tensed up her nerves, ahead to the left was a turning corner, she hastily walked forward, and swiftly ran into the corner.

  Just as they turned the corner, Senri Koi let out a loud cry of "Oh no!", looking at the small passageway in front of her, her heart screamed "It's over!". The road ahead was just a narrow alley, with dim lights and desolate voices.

  A chill wind suddenly came from behind, and Qian Lian Xia didn't have time to react before the man appeared at her back with a speed that shocked her. A shiny small knife was pressed against her neck, accompanied by the man's icy voice, "Qian Lian Xia, I've finally waited for you to appear again."

  Senri Natsuya's head was filled with a white light, and she was just lamenting how good her luck had been lately, being blackmailed every day, when she heard this voice. And he even knew her?

  It seems that you have come with a purpose, the corners of your lips curve into an icy arc, and Qian Lixia's voice is already very clear: "Who are you, what do you want to do?"

  "Kill you!" The man didn't waste a single word, directly stating his intention.

  Qian Lian Xia took a deep breath, turning her head with difficulty under the dim light of the street lamp. Under the orange glow of the street lamp, the man was dressed in black, his handsome face calm and collected, but his dark eyes were filled with an irrepressible murderous aura.

  "How can it be you again!?" After seeing the man's face clearly, Senri Kurenai gritted her teeth and spoke in a hateful tone.

  The man who had a knife pressed against her throat was the same one who threatened him at 'Chance Encounter' that day. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have been insulted by Gongzi Ji's woman last time either. Thinking of this, Qian Lixia felt angry.

  Gritting her teeth as she stared at her, Senri's elegant eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she spoke in a cold tone: "Last time you didn't succeed in killing me, are you thinking of trying again this time? What kind of grudge do I have against you that makes it worth your while to try to kill me three times?"

  The man was Hao Lianyu, under the dim streetlight, the dagger's gleaming light was eerie and cold. Hao Lianyu's icy black eyes stared at her, "Because Young Master has taken a liking to you, so I must kill you!"

  "Shaozhu?" Kiren Natsu frowned.

  Hao Lianyu looked at her and explained in a few words: "The young master's surname is Ye, and his name is Shengge."

  "Ye Sheng Ge", this name is a heart-wrenching pain as soon as it passes through the throat.

  How ridiculous, how ridiculous. Qian Lixia looked at the gleaming dagger and Hao Lianyong's murderous expression, and she just wanted to laugh. How could he use her and then make his subordinates mistakenly think he liked her? Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

  But in fact, Chihiro did burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face.

  The knife approached one inch, Hao Lianyong frowned unpleasantly, "What are you smiling at?"
