Xu Zenan's face turned red. He turned his head around and locked his eyes on Xi Shuai Zhe, gritting his teeth. ”Xi Shuai Zhe, you can't give up on Xi Wu.”
He was afraid. He was truly afraid that Chen Xi Wu would be abandoned.
At this moment, he even prayed to heaven that Xi Jiange had recovered his memory, and that he was still that man who loved Chen Xi more than his life.
”Aunt is very important, but Abby …”
”Ten, nine, eight …”
The masked man started counting down with his eyes still fixed on Xi Shuo.
Abby's eyes unceasingly overflowed with tears, the pear-stained look was very beautiful and pitiful, Xi's eyes swept over her and landed on Chen Xi Wu, her thin lips tightly pursed into a line.
Chen Xi Wu, whose eyes were originally lowered, suddenly raised her head. Her gaze collided with his and instantly caught his struggle. A complicated smile instantly appeared on her delicate and pale face.
His smile was one of gratification, reluctance, heartache, and determination.
”...” 3, 2... ”
Before the word ”1” was uttered, Xi Yuzhan could no longer remain silent. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and spoke with a heavy voice.
”I choose …”
”Stop, shut up!”
Xu Zenan suddenly interrupted him, looked at the masked man with a determined look, and spoke his thoughts word by word.
”Let's discuss this. We'll satisfy whatever you want. You can let them go and we can negotiate anything!” Or you let go of the woman on your left, and I'll do it for her. ”
His words were loud and forceful. The masked man looked at him with an incredulous expression in his eyes.
”Are you really willing to trade yourself for this woman?”
He nudged Chen Xi forward with his knee and twisted the needle in his hand.
The limited edition Rolex watch on his wrist reflected the dazzling light, attracting Xi's attention.
He narrowed his eyes and sized up the masked man. His eyes flashed with a strong sense of probing and vigilance. This person … Who was it?!
