Shao Lin's reprimand made Du Shaen immediately shut up. Her eyes reddened, and tears quickly filled them. She did not understand why his attitude towards her was so bad. Did he really hate her that much?
When Ji Chen saw Shao Lin's attitude, a hint of interest flashed across his eyes. He was about to speak when he suddenly glanced over and saw Lin Zhiwei walking over. She seemed to want to interfere between them, so he immediately shut his mouth. He wanted to know what was going on so that he could report it to his wife!
Of course, if he wanted to report to his wife, he had to help little Shane at the right time according to the situation. Otherwise, how would he explain it when he went back?
"Who is she?" Lin Zhiwei asked angrily.
Shao Lin didn't even bother to shake her off. He pulled Dushan's arm roughly and was about to leave. How could Lin Zhiwei let them leave just like that? She immediately blocked them with red eyes." You're not allowed to leave! If you don't tell me clearly, don't even think about leaving!”
Shao Lin merely swept a cold glance at her outstretched arm and said coldly,""Move aside!"
"No!" She was so arrogant that she refused to move aside. Seeing that Shao Lin was still involved with other girls, she was naturally very unhappy in her heart. Especially with so many people watching the show, her face was even more lost.
How could a girl like her be laughed at by others?
Suddenly, there were cries of surprise, followed by Lin Zhiwei's angry screams. She didn't expect Shao Lin to push her away so mercilessly, almost causing her to fall to the ground. Fortunately, her friend beside her held her. After she steadied herself in disbelief, she saw him pulling the woman away.
Ji Chen didn't say anything. He just smiled meaningfully and turned to leave. He seemed to be very satisfied with this situation.
Du Shaen was pulled forward by Shao Lin, making her body unable to bear it, but she did not dare to ask him to slow down, lest he shouted at her to be quiet and find her too annoying. She did not want to see him with such a disgusted attitude towards her.
When she reached his car, she immediately leaned against the car door and panted heavily. Her face turned extremely pale and she could not even say a word.
Shao Lin got into the car first. After waiting for a while, she still didn't move. He slammed the steering wheel hard and got out of the car again. He looked at her with a fierce expression and scolded angrily,"Damn it! What's wrong with you? Do you want me to invite you into the car?"
" I…" Of course, she wanted to get into the car and answer his question, but she really needed more time to recover her strength. She fumbled for the medicine bottle in her pocket, unable to answer his question.
"What about you? Can't you not make me angry? I really don't understand you, woman. You're simply inexplicable!”Actually, he felt that he was the one who was really baffled. He subconsciously wanted to vent his anger on her because he, who had always been cold, was actually wavering for her. How could he not be angry?
Du Shaen was even sadder after being reprimanded by him. She didn't understand why she had made him angry again and again. She didn't say anything at all. Was this wrong?
She could not help but feel aggrieved as tears flowed down her cheeks. Squatting down, she grabbed her clothes tightly, trying to stop the pain from spreading, but she just couldn't stop it! Sometimes, she hated herself. Why couldn't she let go of him? Even though he treated her so cruelly and heartlessly, she still loved him!
Shao Lin's heart ached when he saw her fragile appearance.
Damn it! He clenched his fists tightly. He just didn't understand why this woman had the ability to make him worry about her and make him weak!
"What are you crying for? If someone who doesn't know what's going on sees you, they'll think that I'm bullying you ruthlessly.”
" Don't say that..." Shahn felt so sad that he almost couldn't breathe. Why? Why did he have to hurt her like this? Would he feel happier doing this?
Even if the heavens had arranged for them to go on with such a difficult journey, did she have to suffer all this pain and harm? Then could he give her an answer? If all the pain she had suffered could allow them to be together forever, it would be worth it.
Looking at her pale face, which seemed to be in pain, Shao Lin realized that her hands were trembling. She poured out the pills to take them, and the tears on her face flowed even faster. His face suddenly turned pale, but before he squatted down, he immediately became expressionless. Only his eyes revealed a trace of worry and concern.
He snatched the medicine from her hand, poured it out for her, and fed her the medicine in one go. Although he looked impatient on the surface, his actions were gentle. "You don't seem to be in good health."
"I…"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you think it's fun to abuse your body like this?”
Because of his sadness, Dushane, who had always been sensitive enough to detect people's thoughts, could not see the concern hidden under his seemingly heartless and reprimanding words. He could only reply with a trembling voice,"I was afraid that if I spoke, I would make you angry, so I didn't dare…"
"Whether you open your mouth or not, you'll make me angry!”He replied in a bad mood. This stupid woman. He was almost angered to death by her. That cautious look of hers made it seem as if he was really scary. Could it be that his behavior really made her so afraid?
"You…"
"Alright, don't talk to me. I have something to say to you. Let's go to my house first. We've been grinding mushrooms here for a long time.”What he didn't say was that she looked so weak. It really made him a little worried, but he would never admit it. He kept telling himself that he was just using her!
However, he still carefully helped her stand up and considerately let her sit in the car. Then, he went around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove away.
In the car, Dushane felt much better after taking the medicine. She turned to look at his determined face. His side profile was tense because he was driving calmly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. In fact, she had never seen him smile from the bottom of his heart.
She really wanted to be a woman who could make him happy. Although she didn't know if she had the ability, she knew that he had never been happy before. This made her heart ache, and she wanted to hug him tightly in her arms and protect him. She wanted to tell him that at least she still cared for him sincerely in this world. She wanted to take good care of him for the rest of her life, cherish him sincerely, love him affectionately, and never leave him for the rest of her life.
However, she did not know if he was willing to let her do so.
She knew it was impossible from the start, she knew it was a dream that could never come true, but she still couldn't help but want to do it for him. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him, unconditionally!
"What are you looking at?"
Although Shao Lin did not look at Dushan, he knew that she was staring at him. The way she looked at him made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to ask her.
"Can I say it?"
"Dammit!" He turned his head and glared at her as if he was blaming her." If you want to say it, say it. Don't look like I'm scary, okay?”
Seeing Shao Lin yell at him so fiercely, Dushan 'en shut up and did not say anything. Tears welled up in his eyes again.
At this moment, the car suddenly let out a sharp sound. The rapid braking caused the tires to scrape across the ground. The car stopped by the side of the road, giving Dushan a fright.
Before she could speak, Shao Lin had already turned around to face her." Tell me!”
" I, I just..." Shawn said timidly, realizing that she seemed to have made him angry again, but she really didn't do it on purpose! She pouted aggrievedly and stared at him with her teary eyes." I realized that you really like to get angry!”
It was so strange. He was not Sister Sha Lin or Brother Yan Lie. Why was he as angry as they were? Although their expressions were different, Sha Lin and Yan Lie were both furious and flushed, but it didn't take long for them to recover. Besides, she didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. After all, she knew that they wouldn't hurt anyone.
But he was different. When he was angry, he looked really scary! That gloomy expression was really terrifying.
Hearing her say this, Shao Lin's tone turned even colder." Are you going to tell me or not?”She looked so innocent as if she really didn't know that she was the culprit who had angered him!
He really didn't know how he could tolerate this woman. He didn't even ask her to get lost from his side. Perhaps it was because he still needed to make use of her, he convinced himself.
What a ghost! He did not need to convince himself that this was a fact! But what could he say if he was so angry because of this woman? There had never been a woman who could make him have any emotional reaction. Just the anger alone was enough to make him click his tongue in wonder!
However, he cleverly and mercilessly chose to skip this question and not think about it.
Being forced by him, Dushan was so scared that he shouted loudly and directly,"I just want to tell you that I really, really love you!”As soon as she finished speaking, she was immediately stunned. She did not expect herself to blurt it out like that.
Shao Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, he suddenly shut his eyes tightly, as if he was enduring something. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was as deep as a deep pool, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Don't say that you love me and don't tell me how much you miss me, understand?”He gritted his teeth and said," You're putting a huge burden on me. I don't want any of this. No matter who it belongs to, including you, I don't want it or need it. Do you understand?”
His words deeply hurt Dushane's heart, causing her to be scarred and even bleed.
It hurts! Why did it hurt so much to love someone? Who could tell her what mistake she had made in loving him? Why did he despise her love so much, throw it back at her face, and trample on her true heart?
Her speechlessness, her heartbroken and pained expression made his heart ache so much that he didn't want to look at it. He could only continue to ruthlessly lash her heart with his heartless words.
"I don't understand. Why can you keep saying that you want me, miss me, and love me? Do you really understand me? What right do you have to say that? Do you really need something from me? Then please tell me, what do you want from me?”
" You don't understand, you really don't understand…" Dushan shook his head in pain and muttered helplessly and sadly,""Didn't I tell you? I just want your heart and your love. Are you really unable to give it to me?”
"Hah!" Shao Lin couldn't help but laugh sarcastically." You want my heart? Isn't this a joke? How can you get a sincere heart from someone who doesn't have a heart? Besides, are you sure you really need me? You're a witch. Isn't it easy for you to get anything you want?”
"No, I can't! Lin, listen to me. I really need you. It's not because I need anything from you, but because I love you! Maybe you won't believe me, but I still have to tell you that I love you not because I need you or need something from you, but because I really love you!”
"Humph!" "What's the difference?" Shao Lin snorted in disbelief.”She was just playing some word games! He didn't believe her at all.
"Of course it's different!" Shane's originally timid attitude suddenly became very excited and righteous when he talked about his feelings. Such feelings were more important than her life. She valued the love between them more than anything else!
So, of course, she had to work hard to fight for it from him. Since he had given her this opportunity, she had to seize it.
Perhaps it was because of her serious attitude, the excitement in her face, and the way she was trying so hard to convince him that Shao Lin didn't stop her and let her continue. Although he didn't want to admit it, her words had aroused his curiosity.
Because no one had ever told him this before.
"If I love you only because I need you, then I'm too selfish. Moreover, that's not true love. I'll only think of you when I need you. In order to make you face my needs for you, I'll say that I love you and ask you to do something for me.”She said firmly, her eyes shining with deep affection for him.
"I need you because I love you. I love you so deeply that I need to hug you. Naturally, I want to feel sorry for you and care about everything about you. This feeling of loving you will make me want to be with you forever. I want to have you.”
He did not believe it! He didn't believe that the kind of love she was talking about existed. There was absolutely no such thing in this world!
Even though her words were pleasant to the ears, shocking him, and even surprising him, he still couldn't believe it. After all that had happened, he did not believe that anyone would be so selfless as to give up their so-called love!
Perhaps she could say it beautifully and beautifully, but no one could really do it!
Seeing Shao Lin shake his head in rejection, Dushan knew that although her words had shaken his heart, it was not enough to make him believe her. She knew that it would not be that easy. If she could get a trace of his sincerity by just using words, she would not love him so hard.
She knew that her love for him was a continuation of memories and emotions from a thousand years ago. She could also clearly sense his emotional fluctuations towards her. However, he did not know if he, who was insignificant, could make this stubborn stone nod his head.
"I know you don't believe me. What do I have to do to make you believe me?”
Her question was bitter and helpless, but it was exactly what he wanted. He couldn't be blamed for this. She was the one who took the initiative to come to his door, so he didn't have to be polite and make good use of her!
Shao Lin's eyes flashed with a scheming light as he pretended to ponder for a while before saying,"Alright then! Since you said so, you should have heard of this saying, right?”
"What?"
"How can it be so easy to gain a person's trust? You must go through a considerable amount of effort, right? Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to gain my trust and win my love?”
"What do you want me to do for you to prove that my love for you is unconditional?”
"You really can't sense what I'm thinking?”Shao Lin had no choice but to question her once again when he heard her state her intentions so precisely. He had to defend his own heart. If she could really sense his thoughts, then wouldn't his plans and weaknesses be completely known by this woman?
This was a risk that he would rather die than take. He hated being seen through. Even if he really wanted to use her to achieve his goal, he could not expose all his weaknesses in front of her. This would make him uneasy and afraid because he did not trust anyone. There was no one in this world that was worthy of his trust.
"I really can't. I can guess your thoughts so quickly because I'm more sensitive than ordinary people. Perhaps I can sense other people's thoughts, but I can't sense yours. This is true. It's up to you to believe it or not.”
Shao Lin did not say anything and only stared at her fiercely. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He then focused on every subtle change in her face and eyes before he felt relieved." Alright! I'll believe you just this once."
After spending time with her for a few days, he began to understand her personality and some subtle changes in her expression. Perhaps it was because of this that the fragile her could not withstand the strong induction and had no choice but to seal herself off to block out those troubles and pain.
In order to test if she was lying to him, he had deliberately created some fluctuations in his thoughts. If it wasn't that her disguise was too brilliant, or that she really couldn't sense his thoughts, he instinctively wanted to believe her this once. Although he knew it was very risky, he didn't know why he was still willing to believe her.
However, there was a reason for this. If she could sense his thoughts, she would have known about his emotional fluctuations these days and would have been proud of it for a long time. She would not have been provoked by him every time.
It wasn't easy to hear this from his mouth. This made Dushan happy for a long time." You, you really want to believe me?”
Seeing how happy she was, Shao Lin's heart flashed with a strange joy and satisfaction. A strange expression flashed across his face, but he still pretended to be cold and said," Only this!" His cruel statement was trying to shatter the contented happiness on her face.
He didn't understand why she was so happy because of his words or actions. Was she really that easily satisfied? In fact, he was really jealous of her easily satisfied personality. This was a taste that he could not taste!
He thought that her expression would become dejected because of what he said, but he did not expect her to smile very gently and contentedly." It's okay! Even if it's just this matter, you still believe me, don't you?”
Dushan believed that as long as he could gain his trust the first time, there might be a second and third time." Besides, I'm with you now, aren't I? I should be satisfied that you're willing to let me be with you, although…"
Her words became slower and softer, but Shao Lin could still hear her clearly.
"Although I still hope to get your love, if I can only have you like this, I will also cherish you very much.”
"Really? You're too naive. Do you think I'll let you stay by my side forever?”
Dushan shook his head hard." I don't dare to think that way, and I don't dare to expect that. I know what kind of person I've fallen in love with, and I know that you won't let me stay by your side forever, but..." She suddenly raised her head and looked at him seriously and affectionately.
"I want you to know that you are willing and want it. As long as you express it, I will always be by your side.”
Shao Lin didn't answer her question. He only looked at her quietly. Looking at her pair of deep, affectionate eyes that had no resentment or blame, he began to feel confused.
How could she look at him with such deep affection and regret? Why did he feel a familiar heartache just by looking at her like this?
The longer he spent with her, the weirder he felt. He felt as if they had known each other for a long time, but he didn't know why he had this inexplicable heartache.
When did this happen?
"Don't frown." Du Shaen's hand gently caressed Shao Lin's furrowed brows." I know that I might not be anything in your heart, and I don't have the right to be with you forever. I just hope that you can be truly happy. That way, I'll be very happy too, okay?”
When he heard his words, he stared at her in surprise as if he had seen a monster. Dushan could not help but chuckle and ask,"You must have heard of the word cherish, right?”
As she spoke, she suddenly missed his embrace. For the first time, she took the initiative to lean into his embrace and lean against his chest because of the desire in her heart. She sighed in satisfaction and closed her eyes." When we can still be together. Of course, I don't know how long this period of time will last. I just want to cherish every minute and second that I can be with you. I want to treasure every moment that I can share with you. I want to be with you forever, but if I can only hold you like this, I have to cherish this hug, because you're about to belong to someone else.”
Her tone was very sad and dejected.
Hearing her last sentence, Shao Lin remembered what he wanted to tell her. He did not expect that his thoughts would be disturbed by her affectionate confession. This was the first time he had lost control like this.
However, this also reminded him that it was not too late to correct it now!
"If you don't want me to belong to someone else, I hope you can do me a favor.”
"Like you said before, do you want me to take action to prove how much I love you?”
"Yes!"
"Alright, go ahead! As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it.”
"You will definitely be able to do this. That is to help me sense other people's thoughts!”
" What?!" Dushane looked at him with wide eyes, unable to believe that he would make such a request of her.
"What? You can't do it?"
After a long silence, Dushan shook his head and said,""No, it's not that. However, do you really want me to do this?”
"That's right, this is my only request.”
"Alright, I can promise you, but you have to promise me one thing.”It was as if she had made a big decision. She gritted her teeth and agreed to him, but she also raised another condition.
Shao Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Dushan's promise. However, when he heard her request, his eyes narrowed dangerously. His sharp gaze seemed to want to cut her into pieces." You dare to negotiate with me?”
"No, I just don't want anyone to get hurt. Can you agree to my request?”
"If this is your condition, I can tell you that I will never do anything to hurt anyone.”
"Of course I believe that you won't hurt anyone. What I mean is that I don't want others to feel pain because of me. I don't want to see anyone sad, because I'll feel bad too.”
Her explanation made Shao Lin size her up with a mysterious gaze. After a long while, he slowly said,"I'm doing this because I want to counterattack. If you want to have me for a long time, you have to cooperate with me obediently, understand?”
"You mean to say that in order to have you for a longer time, I have to endure the pain of others?”
"If you want to get anything, you have to pay a corresponding price, right?”
"But I…"
How could a cunning person like Shao Lin not see the struggle in her heart? However, he was not trying to convince her to be together with her. All of this was for his own plans and interests. She was just a chess piece in his hands!
He had grown up in a power struggle that involved mutual deception and scheming. He knew that as long as he could gain control, he could have the right to command and enjoy all the supreme power. No one would dare to bully him at will. He just had to think of ways to maintain his status and power.
Although the wealth he had created and accumulated was already amazing, and the high-tech company he and his three other friends founded had a revenue that was close to their father's group, he did not care about his father's company that had to pay dividends to other shareholders.
He was only fighting for a breath, a breath of resentment that he had been bullied since he was young. He could not swallow this breath. He wanted to let all the people who bullied him know the consequences of provoking him. He wanted them to be willing to die rather than provoke him again.
Now, Dushane was his best secret weapon. As long as he had her, he could win by surprise and defeat everything. So no matter what, he had to find a way to control her first so that he could win this battle. Without her, although he could still achieve his goal, it would always take more time, and he did not want to lose his entire life.
That damned old man wanted to give him a fiancée. He didn't care at first as long as he could retaliate. However, after he found out about Shawn's identity, he had a different plan. Not only could he give that damned old man a taste of pain, but he could also let him understand that he was no longer the fool who could be easily manipulated by him!
For Andu Shaen's sake, Shao Lin had no choice but to lie to her. He gently cupped her face, his two thumbs rubbing her soft cheeks." Don't worry. As long as you're willing to help me, I can promise you that I won't hurt anyone, but…"
"But what?"
A hint of cruelty flashed across Shao Lin's eyes." If they take the initiative to provoke me, then don't blame me for being impolite to them!”
His words and his gaze made Dushane shiver involuntarily. A creepy feeling spread from the bottom of her heart. She suddenly realized how ruthless he could be. As long as someone provoked him, he might even break their bones.
She hesitated for a moment before looking at him with determination. She cupped his face with her hands and promised him sincerely,"Don't worry. If anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely stand in front of you and protect you!”
Shao Lin was completely stunned by her solemn promise. No one had ever said that they would protect him, even if it was only verbally.
And this little woman actually said that she wanted to protect him?
He suddenly felt as if a small corner of his heart was collapsing at this moment, but there seemed to be another dark force stopping him, making him feel very uncomfortable.#
