Chapter 617 - 615: Even if I were forced to share a room with you, you wouldn’t lay a finger on me
Xiao Qing is in a terrible, terrible state.
Suppressing the urge to shove the baby back into her womb and remake it, she took a deep breath and softly said, "Baby, go to sleep, daddy said he will take you out to play tomorrow."
"Oh, alright then."
Finally coaxing the baby to sleep, Xiao Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, only to see Lu Jinyang shaking with silent laughter by himself.
Unable to contain her anger, she aimed a kick at him under the covers, but just as she stretched out her foot, it was firmly pinned down by him.
"Go to sleep~"
Xiao Qing looked up at the sky, speechless. How was she supposed to sleep?
Perhaps she was too exhausted, for she fell asleep shortly after closing her eyes.
-
Xiao Anze emerged from the bathroom to find Yang Qiao standing by the door to the room, his eyes chilly, he spoke in a low voice, "You don’t want to be with me that much?"
Yang Qiao shook her head, "No, just now Xiao Qing came by, she said she needed to borrow a set of clothes for Lu Jinyang."
Hearing this, Xiao Anze’s expression improved slightly. He walked into the dressing room and soon came back out, holding a set of sportswear.
"Take this over."
Yang Qiao nodded, accepted the clothes, and stepped out, quickly returning to the room. Seeing that Xiao Anze was still standing in the same position, she dared not meet his gaze and quickly said, "I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight," then walked toward the sofa.
"Yang Qiao, you won’t even give me an explanation?"
"What explanation?" Yang Qiao paused mid-step, "I don’t recall anything between us that hasn’t been clarified."
"Oh? Then you tell me, we didn’t argue before you were discharged, everything was so peaceful and normal. Why did you leave without saying a word?"
As he spoke, Xiao Anze took steps towards her.
Yang Qiao instinctively tried to flee, but the room was only so big. After retreating a few steps, she had nowhere else to go and was unmistakably cornered by him.
"Tell me, Yang Qiao, I’ve proposed to you so many times, and you’ve never agreed, not even giving me a kind look... Why is that?"
Yang Qiao kept her lips sealed, subconsciously dodging his piercing gaze.
His long finger abruptly squeezed her chin, forcing her to look at him. Trapped with nowhere to hide, she simply closed her eyes.
"Xiao Anze, why bother? After nine years, aren’t you tired of it?"
After she spoke, she felt the pain in her chin intensify, so much so that tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Yang Qiao, don’t push me~"
"I’m not pushing you, I’m tired, I don’t want to be with you anymore. So, let go, there’s no happiness in forcing this."
Instead of letting go, Xiao Anze drew even closer, their lips just a mere centimeter apart.
He said again, "What if I insist on forcing this?"
What if I insist on forcing this?
That was the heaviest statement Yang Qiao had ever heard from Xiao Anze.
He never spoke harshly in front of her, nor forced her to do anything she disliked; he was always asking for her opinion...
But now, in this situation, for the first time, he said the harshest thing he’s ever said in front of her.
Yang Qiao suddenly laughed, "I really didn’t expect that you’d start threatening me after we broke up."
"Break up? I never agreed to that, how can you speak of breaking up?"
Xiao Anze, albeit initially composed, suddenly had his expression turn intensely grim.
His demeanor incited an inexplicable fear in Yang Qiao, but remembering the action she was taking, her resolve returned, and she met his intimidating stare, softly saying, "Xiao Anze, everyone knows I’ve chosen to leave you. Even if I’m forced to share a room with you, you won’t touch me, will you?"
