70 As Long as I Want Something (2/2)

”Please have some tea, Mr. Ye. I'll go ask Mo Li if she's willing to thrash things out with you. This issue has to come to a clean break, anyway,” said An Xiaoning as she brought some tea over on a tray and placed it onto the table.

She then stood up and headed to Mo Li's room.

After 10 minutes had passed, Mo Li came out of her room. Her face full of immaculate makeup, she was clad in a set of exquisite, designer clothing. She looked more gorgeous than ever and exuded sartorial elegance. Long Tianze had bought her all that makeup and clothing. She would usually only put on some light and casual makeup. However, she had woken up exceptionally early that morning just to doll herself up.

The initial delicate look of gentleness on her face diminished at the sight of Ye Xiaotian. However, she felt at peace because both Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning were present.

An Xiaoning held onto her hand and pulled her onto the couch. ”What are we going to talk about?” asked Mo Li.

”Come home with me,” said Ye Xiaotian, keeping his eyes fixed on her face. It was the first time in a long while that he had observed her features carefully, only to realize how scarily thin she had gotten. In fact, she looked sick and emaciated, as if she had been suffering from a chronic illness.

”If I go home with you, will I still have to continue being your blood bank and allow you to draw all my blood until the very last drop?”

Mo Li spoke with extraordinary composure. An Xiaoning was starting to get worked up, despite only being an outsider in the situation. She began to wonder how heartbroken and dejected Mo Li must have been previously, to be able to remain so unfazed and calm.

”I won't do that, as long as you're obedient,” said Ye Xiaotian, feeling a little heart-wrenched.

”I don't wish to be enslaved to you any longer, Ye Xiaotian. You're rich and powerful. There are many women like me out there whom you're free to choose from, you don't have to keep me in purgatory. I'd given you my life since I was 18. It's been four years now, I'm already 22. I actually almost forgot that I'm human. As a woman, I need and want to be loved and taken care of. So, Ye Xiaotian, I don't wish to see you ever again in my life, I'll no longer be your subject of torment,” Mo Li said extremely calmly, as if she was talking about something that didn't matter to her at all.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xiaotian began to feel worried and pleaded as his pupils constricted, ”Mo Li, I won't do that to you again, I promise. Is that okay?”

Mo Li stood up and walked away without saying a word to him. Her very silence had said a lot.

There was no way she would return to his side, for it was such a rare opportunity for her to leave him for good, which she had been hoping for, for the longest time ever. No way…

Having returned to her room, Mo Li sat by her bed as her hands trembled uncontrollably.

She felt cold from head to toe as she recalled the threatening glare in his eyes back in the living room earlier. However, after having already come thus far, she could not concede defeat.

”I suppose Mo Li has already made herself clear about everything that needed to be said. There's no need for us to continue dwelling on this matter. Shixin, please see him out,” instructed Jin Qingyan.

”Mr. Ye, please,” said Fan Shixin with a gesture for him to follow.

Ye Xiaotian rose from his seat and said sternly, ”Mr. Jin, as long as I want something, I'll do whatever it takes to obtain it, no matter what it is.”

”Then let me tell you something, there'll always be an abundance of people far capable than you are. It's up to you to do whatever you want, if you have the ability to.”

Ye Xiaotian exited the door in a flash.

Unfortunately, he happened to bump into Long Tianze who had just alighted from his car. Upon the sight of Ye Xiaotian, Long Tianze immediately threw a punch at him, without saying a word at all.

Ye Xiaotian was struck in his face and began bleeding from his nose profusely. Instead of retaliating, he reached out to wipe the blood off his nose with his hands and said, ”I don't wish to hit you right here. Long Tianze, you'd better watch out next time.”

Upon hearing his words, Long Tianze grew into a sudden rage and began attacking him with all his might.

Ye Xiaotian was not an easy one to deal with, for he possessed a repertoire of superior martial arts skills.

Although it was indeed a tough battle for Long Tianze, he was not one to be trifled with either and did not lag far behind.

The immense rage and anger within Long Tianze had spurred him to win the fight against the skilled opponent that was Ye Xiaotian. Gradually, Ye Xiaotian began to show signs of defeat while Long Tianze gained the upper hand, despite the two having comparable skills at the beginning.

Ye Xiaotian grew out of breath and completely exhausted while Long Tianze was still strong. He mounted atop Ye Xiaotian and began rapidly landing multiple punches on his face, beating him to a pulp. Even then, he was unstoppable.
