Chapter 616 - Untitled (1/2)

Tanski shook his head and looked at her deeply. “Who was that person you killed?”

Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled with a somewhat teasing look in her eyes. She looked around and laughed. “The G.o.dfather of the Mafia. What’s up? Afraid?”

Everybody looked at each other, speechless, and did not know how to answer Ye Wei. Tanski had them leave before looking at Ye Wei and seriously said, “I’m not afraid!”

“The entire Middle East, including Oman, is the Mafia’s turf. Tanski, I would suggest you keep your distance from me. If not…” Ye Wei did not threaten him.

She had no reason to live, and if Mo Ye was out to exact revenge, then so be it. She did not want to implicate anybody else.

Tanski grabbed Ye Wei’s hands and seriously said, “I stand by what I said previously. Are you willing to marry me?”

“Marry you?” Ye Wei was taken aback as she did not expect him to raise an old topic. She broke into an alluring smile and said, “You still want somebody as dangerous as me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll wreck your career?”

“No!” Tanski replied decisively. “Even if the Mafia is after you, I will be able to protect you and keep you safe and sound.”

Protect her?

This statement was so touching indeed. It had been so long—or to put it differently, she had never heard of anybody wanting to protect her. Perhaps it was because she was the top killer that people felt that she was invincible and undefeatable.

—that she did not need to be protected.

Such an adorable and earnest man was indeed touching. He was not too bad a man either.

When he talked to her, he would actually blush. Such a man was really innocent at heart and was a rare catch. It was a pity she was a bad woman, not suitable for such an innocent man. She laughed and said, “We only met once.”

“That’s not important. I just want to know whether I can marry you. I swear, in the name of G.o.d, that I am serious about wanting to marry you.” Tanski seemed extremely earnest as though he was afraid Ye Wei would not believe him. He then hurriedly said, “I can choose not to ask you about your past and not ask you about anything.”

Ye Wei broke into loud laughter, but Tanski continued. “Please don’t do this, okay? Does the injury on your back still hurt?”

She was taken aback and looked at Tanski before saying, “The next woman whom you fall in love with will be a very happy woman.” Although he was an arms dealer who lived by the sword, he really doted on women.

“Why don’t you agree?”

“The person whom I fell in love with is dead, and I will not live for long. Please just give up on me,” Ye Wei said as she looked at the falling leaves. The world, through her eyes, was devoid of life, and there was nothing she could look forward to.

She could no longer endure the emotional debt that came cras.h.i.+ng upon her. It was a debt she could no longer repay.

Tanski squinted dangerously in seeming frustration and slight indignation before sighing. He was a vicious man by nature, but he could not bear to make things difficult for her. She, in his eyes, was a beautiful woman who was tough and fragile.

He had no idea why she wanted to kill somebody she loved with no holds barred. But when he heard her say how the person she loved had died and how she no longer wished to live, he knew too well that she loved the man she killed instead of him. Her pain and desperation were much deeper than anybody could imagine.

When a person dies, everything ends, and said person is not in the know.

Those who were punished were those who were left behind.

She must really love him, the G.o.dfather of the Mafia… Tanski suddenly squinted in shock. News about the G.o.dfather of the Mafia, Mo Ye, was frequent enough, and the person who was wounded should be Mo Jue.

Didn’t that mean…
