Chapter 8 (1/2)

Ye Erruo cast a glance at him and tried to step away from him but Lin Jingxuan held onto her wrist.

“Let go!” She immediately tried to shrug him away.

“Ruoruo, what has happened?” Lin Jingxuan seemed saddened.

“Did Mo Jiangye force you to do something? Did he threaten you?”

Ye Erruo looked at him coldly. “My husband already gave you a warning not to come here without his permission.”

Lin Jingxuan frowned. “This is the Lin family’s residence. He has no say over where I go.”

“Oh, then please get out of my way.”

Lin Jingxuan blocked the stairs, preventing Ye Erruo from going upstairs. He suddenly took her into his arms, wrapping her tightly in his embrace.

“What are you doing? Lin Jingxuan!!!”

Ye Erruo resisted his hug with all her might, pushing and struggling against him.

The more she struggled, the more force Lin Jingxuan exerted, he was gripping her so tightly that Ye Erruo felt pain in her arms.

“Ruoruo, listen to me. I am useless and that’s why Mo Jiangye managed to catch hold of you and to make use of the chance to force you into a marriage with him. Everything is my fault. I will definitely take you away to a faraway place. Please don’t stay angry with me!”

“Lin Jingxuan, let me say it once more. Let me go!” Ye Erruo stared coldly straight ahead. She fought back her anger and enunciated each and every word slowly.

“No, I won’t let go. Ruoruo, tell me did he bully you yesterday? You must be blaming me for not taking you away. You must be angry with me as I did not protect you when you were being bullied.”

He paused before saying, “But, Ruoruo, you must know that Mo Jiangye calls the shots in the Lin family right now. I am incompetent and helpless. When I take back the power in the Lin family, I will make sure to give you happiness. Please don’t be angry with me. Okay?”

In the end, his voice turned gentle as he tried to coax the person in his arms.

In the past, once he used a gentle tone to speak with her, she would obey his words and would not stay angry with him!
