Su Chengzhao was stiff. He thought for a moment before he spoke. His voice contained a hint of expectation. “It is still not too late. As long as you agree, I will take you out of this place even it costs me everything.”

Before I could make a sound, a chilling voice threw me into the depths of the abyss.

“If you dare to leave Liangcheng for even half a step, I will destroy your parents’ body completely, and make them roam as ghosts without a place to spend their afterlife peacefully!” Qin Mochen’s voice was cold as he gave a ruthless and fierce ultimatum.

Parents were the biggest taboo and the softest spot in my heart which I didn’t want to unveil.

I got rid of Su Chengzhao’s embrace and turned around to slap Qin Mochen in the face. This slap exhausted all my strength.

His face was slanted to one side as I said full of hatred, “Qin Mochen, if you dare to touch my parents’ body, I won’t let you go, even if I became a ghost.”

I thought he would be angry, furious, or at least slap me back.

Unexpectedly, he just sneered, wiped off the blood on his lips with a finger, and laughed viciously, “In Liangcheng, there is nothing I can’t do. If you want to test me, just try and step out of the city.”

My heart was trembling with full of grief and pain!

At this moment, I really hated Qin Mochen to the core. I wanted to kill him and tear him apart.

I never thought that he would be so cruel to me, even going as far as wanting to destroy my parents’ body, so cruel to force me into a dilemma where I had no place to run.

Suddenly he approached me, grabbed my cheeks with his big hand, and said with cold and indifferent eyes. “Mo Yufei, don't you love me? If I ask you to abandon Su Chengzhao forever, would you say yes?"

Su Chengzhao frowned and looked upset. He seemed to want to step forward and intervene but ultimately stood rooted in his place, staring at me closely. Perhaps he was waiting for my answer as well.

I knew that Qin Mochen had asked this question, not because he loved me, but because he wanted Su Chengzhao to give up. He knew that his threat had worked on me.

I hated my incompetence, swallowed all the pain, and laughed ironically.

I stared into his eyes and said word by word, "I promise. However, it is not because I love you, but because Su Chengzhao is too good and perfect, and I don’t deserve him."

When I said this, I clearly saw Qin Mochen’s eyes change from deep to cold.

With a sneer, he squeezed my jaw and tightened his grip. Regardless of my pain, his voice was fierce like a devil, "Really? I would like to not only destroy him but also destroy all the good things in your eyes and heart, so that you will have to live in misery and remorse for the rest of your life and stay in the darkness, never to come out!"

No matter what he said, my heart had already gone numb, but it still felt very painful.

I was pulled from his arms by Su Chengzhao. He punched Qin Mochen on the face and stared at him angrily. "Qin Mochen, you're not a man!"

He took me up and left the office. I was still immersed in what Qin Mochen had just said so couldn't pull myself out.

I was taken by Su Chengzhao all the way to his house. He gently laid me on the bed, squatted in front of me, and fondled my cheek with his big hand. "Yufei, please follow me. Don't stay with him anymore."

Looking at the gentle and handsome face in front of me and thinking of his deep love, my heart couldn’t stop quivering.

I wanted to run away, but now my body, and my hatred...

If I leave with Su Chengzhao, Qin Mochen won’t let us go. I wasn’t worried about myself, but I didn’t want to drag Su Chengzhao down with me.

As I thought about this, I closed my eyes and whispered, "I want to sleep for a while."

Su Chengzhao's eyes twinkled, and he mused for a moment. When he spoke, his voice was full of disappointment. He whispered, "Sleep, I'll let myself out. if you need help, just call, and I will be there for you."

He opened the door and left. I stayed in bed, tears wetting my eyes, and days of shock and pain drowned me to sleep.

It was foggy and cold when I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around and looked. It was Mo Yulin!
