Yan Luoxi was startled. She felt inexplicably familiar with this matter, a woman surnamed Mei committing suicide by jumping from a building for the sake of a man... Her mind raced as she tried to recall where she had heard about this.
"Honghong, I forbid you to speak ill of your Mei sister!" Ran Xu interrupted Yu Hong coldly, his voice tinged with anger. "Everyone has the right to choose love. Your Mei sister falling for that man is her choice; she bears no fault."
The culprit is that man who doesn't know how to cherish or love others but instead flirts with every woman he sees. It's that man who caused your Mei sister’s death, and such a person deserves to die. No, he should live worse than death..."
Ran Xu’s voice was incredibly cruel and cold, making Yan Luoxi involuntarily shiver. She had always seen the gentle and benevolent side of Ran Xu before; what kind of deep-seated hatred could this man harbor to reveal such a terrifying side
The sky darkened without warning as if rain were about to pour down, turning this small garden into something eerie. Yan Luoxi couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ran, I just got carried away and shouldn’t have spoken ill of my Mei sister…" Yu Hong seemed scared too, speaking timidly in agreement with Ran Xu, "That damned man is entirely to blame. If you ever encounter him later on, Brother Ran, be sure to give him a taste of his own medicine!"
"Of course, that man is the one who caused your Mei sister's death; I must let him experience the pain of losing what he loves most. I want him to know what it feels like to have his heart torn apart and desire something unattainable..." Ran Xu seemed entranced by a dark spell, his voice remaining ominously sinister.
Hearing his chilling words, Yan Luoxi shivered uncontrollably and slowly backed away, wanting to distance herself from this place.
When she finally emerged from the orchard, some vague and fragmented memories mixed with陣陣潮濕的風，在這個陰冷的花園裡吹到了她眼前。
……
"You thought it was fake Actually, a girl once jumped to her death for him..."
"That girl was quite familiar to me. Her name was Mei Hao. She actually had a childhood sweetheart who was very good to her, but after she met this handsome and wealthy young master, she fell head over heels in love with him, only to lose her life in the end..."
Yan Luoxi remembered that there was indeed a girl named Mei Hao who once jumped to her death for Li An...
Ran Xu had a Mei surname lover who had once jumped to her death for another man. Ran Xu wanted revenge on that man, wanting him to lose what he loved and suffer endlessly...
A chill seemed to rise from the soles of Yan Luoxi's feet, gradually grasping the crux of the entire matter.
It turned out that everything had been meticulously planned. Even their initial meeting and pursuit were all part of Ran Xu’s scheme! His kindness, thoughtfulness, and subtle manipulation—all a deception!
All questions seemed to have answers now: why did Ran Xu like her so much; why was he in such a hurry to take her away; and why did he register their marriage...
It turned out that everything he had done was to take revenge on Li An!
The emotions inside her heart were as turbulent as a bottle of mixed flavors being overturned, all sorts of complex feelings overwhelming her chest. She was just a pitiful pawn being manipulated; she truly couldn't gain Ran Xu's genuine love, and she would never be able to find happiness!
Yan Luoxi’s body was obviously stiff yet uncontrollably trembling. She bit down hard on her lips in an attempt not to let this unexpected news defeat her or force a weak cry out of her.
Ran Xu and Yu Hong returned from the orchard just as Yan Luoxi could be seen heaving heavily with her chest rising and falling rapidly, clutching onto the back door, her fingertips turning white and her face pale as she gasped for breath.
"Luoxi..." Ran Xu's head buzzed. The thing he feared most had happened after all.
Yan Luoxi must have overheard his conversation with Yu Hong and figured everything out.
Ran Xu’s heart pounded in his chest, every beat echoing loudly to him as if he could hear them clearly. He licked his well-shaped lips and forced a smile before casually asking, "Luoxi, what's wrong What are you doing here"
Yan Luoxi’s eyes were brimming with tears. She took deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down as her mouth curled into a mocking smile. “Ran Xu, I must admit that you’re the king of acting; your performance was simply superb. Actually, you could also be a director since this play of yours had been flawlessly planned and executed step by step, luring me into your trap of sentiment.
If I weren't one of the players in this drama, I would’ve applauded for such an excellent show and given you an award. But no matter how amazing the performance is, it must come to its conclusion. Now, shouldn’t you wash off the makeup and bid me farewell”
"Luo Xi, you misunderstood me. Let me explain..." Ran Xu's expression changed drastically as he rushed over and grabbed Yan Luoxi's hand tightly, "Luo Xi, I admit that initially approaching you was indeed with a purpose. Because Li An killed Mei Hao, I hated him. In my daily life, I spared no effort to gather information about him, and I somewhat knew of his relationship with you.
I got close to you and found out there were issues between you and Zhou Guangtao. Meanwhile, Li An had deep feelings for you. Therefore, I wanted to pursue you, hoping to take revenge on Li An. But as we spent more time together, I genuinely fell in love with you.
Luo Xi, everything I'm saying is the truth. In the past, I was wrong, but from now on, I will be good to you. Don't get angry; don't leave me..."
"What Still not letting go of me Do you want this farce to continue Yes, as long as Li An's heartbreak and anguish haven’t been revealed, you wouldn’t let me bow out gracefully!" Yan Luoxi laughed bitterly, her voice weak, "Do I have to register our marriage with you and pretend to be a loving couple in front of Li An"
"No, no! That's not true!" Ran Xu closed his eyes, suppressing the sorrow and despair inside him. "Luo Xi, I truly love you. Don't act this way; calm down and listen to me..."
Ran Xu spoke hoarsely, urgently pleading with Yan Luoxi.
"Thank you for your love, Mr. Superstar Ran, but unfortunately, I can’t bear it!" Yan Luoxi lowered her eyelids, trembling all over. "Can I leave now"
"No! Luo Xi, I was wrong; forgive me..." Suddenly, Ran Xu hugged Yan Luoxi tightly, pressing her into his bones with force.
It started raining from the sky at some point, cool droplets falling onto Yan Luoxi's face. She truly wanted to raise a hand and slap Ran Xu several times or loudly curse him for his shamelessness and meanness.n't hear the phone...""You... Do you know how worried I am!"Zhou Guangtao, who is usually gentle and refined, actually sounded somewhat frustrated. Yan Luoxi paused for a moment before realizing the r...
