1181 I Want to Make You Stay 59 (1/2)
Fang Erlan's heart was in a state of turmoil, and she was filled with a mix of emotions. She remained silent for an entire minute.
”No.”
For the very first time, a look of disappointment filled Xiao Chenyang's eyes.
She could sense that he was slowly loosening his grip on her shoulders.
He was completely dejected.
Finally, he removed his hands from her shoulder.
”If I raped you or killed Yan Ge and took you away with me, will you hate me?”
”Yes.”
”Seems like I've asked for nothing. Since you've already discussed your wedding with Yan Ge, I guess this must be the life you really want to live. You have my best wishes. I won't show up in front of you again from now on. You may rest assured.”
Fang Erlan's breath began to quicken, and she repeatedly clenched and unclenched her wrists. ”The wedding gown and wedding ring…”
”I bought them for you. It's up to you to do whatever you want with them. Burn or discard them, it's your call.” He left as soon as he finished speaking.
Fang Erlan sat on the bed and repeatedly told herself that she should be thankful for him leaving her life and that she should not be reluctant to let him go because of how he had pampered her. She can't…
I must put an end to this and never think about him again.
I must.
Yan Ge entered to see how distraught she was. ”Are you alright?” he asked.
Fang Erlan answered with a nod, ”I'm fine.”
”Did he buy you a wedding gown and a diamond ring?”
”How did you know? Did you hear everything?”
Yan Ge stood up and retrieved the small surveillance camera near the television. ”I placed this here.”
Fang Erlan asked, ”Did you get the key card from the front desk because you saw what happened?”
”Yes. Has he really bought you a wedding gown and a diamond ring?”
”He got everything prepared before bringing me to Y Nation to collect it.”
”Throw them all away. I'll buy you a new set of wedding gown and a diamond ring in the future.”
”It's too expensive, how can I just throw them away? I'll take a leave tomorrow and return the gown and ring to him. That's more appropriate.”
”You'll have to see him again if you deliver it to him personally. Just mail it to him tomorrow.”
”He definitely wouldn't accept it if I send it to him by mail. If he's still in Wei Ni Estate, I'll still be able to return it to him. If he isn't, I really have no idea how to return it,” she said. Even if I go all the way to Mount Wanyan, I won't be able to make it up to the peak. I won't know where else to find him anyway.
She knew too little about Xiao Chenyang.
”I'll go with you to return the items.”
”You don't have to. It's already so late, you ought to go back upstairs and get some rest. I'm turning in too.”
”Erlan, may I ask you a question?”
”What is it?”
”How many times… has he violated you?”
Fang Erlan knew clearly what he meant. The thought of Yan Ge having seen Xiao Chenyang forcing a kiss onto her made her blush with embarrassment.
She answered softly, ”A few times…”
Yan Ge's heart sank and he asked again, ”Then… has he ever touched your body?”
”No.”
He heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”Go to bed, then. I'm going upstairs.”
”Alright, please return the key card to the front desk.”
Fang Erlan felt as if she had sunk into a vast ocean the moment she heard the door close.
She stayed wide awake until daybreak. As soon as the sky turned brighter, she got out of bed and boarded a plane to A City, after which she returned to Qingyuan Estate.
