His question made Qiqi stunned for a moment. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that... there was a hint of sadness in his words. As if she was a heartless person.
"I don't know if what you said about me promising you a lifetime is true. If it is true..." Qiqi paused and imitated him, looking into his eyes quietly, "Tang Jue, I must have been talking nonsense. At least, it was never my sincere heart."
Tang Jue felt a sharp pain in his heart.
What a sentence, nonsense!
That's a good word, it can't be sincere!
But he remembered just this one sentence of hers for eight years.
"My promise to Mo Xun is sincere. As long as he doesn't divorce me, I can stay with him forever." Yes, she would rather be with Mo Xun than be entangled by Tang Jue. This is also her true words.
"You dare!" Tang Jue's hand pinched her chin, increasing the force, as if to crush the fragile yet stubborn girl. "If you dare not divorce me after my deadline, go ahead and try! However, I advise you not to challenge my patience. I'm afraid even I, Tang Jue, am not sure what I will do."
Qiqi's eyelashes trembled. There was a naked threat in his words.
He looked at her, his eyes like a slow fire, tormenting her, "Qiqi, even if you were fake eight years ago, today, eight years later, I have to make it my true heart!"
This was a declaration. Therefore, she had no choice but to accept it.
"Tang Jue!" Qi Qi was a little impatient and grabbed Tang Jue's wrist. "You are pestering me and tormenting me like this. What do you want? Your enemies forget their hatred and fall in love with your game. Do you think it's fun or does it give you a sense of accomplishment?"
There was a wicked charm in his eyes. "Whether it's fun or not, you won't know until you play it. At least, I'm very interested in this game."
"But I will never fall in love with you." Qiqi said as calmly as possible, "It took me nearly eight years to convince myself to walk out of hatred, stop being stubborn, and stop thinking about how to kill you all day. So, I ask you... don't bring me into the abyss of hatred again. From now on, you can still do your evil things with a clear conscience, and I will still live my life in peace and smoothness. We will just pretend that we have never met each other and never had any intersection. Isn't even this possible?"
Tang Jue's enchanting eyes suddenly narrowed, her anger exposed, "In your eyes, how unbearable am I, Tang Jue?"
He, Tang Jue, is the dream of many women, but the woman in front of him, whom he must have, avoids him like the plague!
Qiqi was afraid of Tang Jue. When he was angry, he looked like a wild beast that wanted to tear people to pieces. In front of him, she was completely vulnerable.
But at this moment, she no longer cared about anything else - it was better to talk things out with him than to suffer day after day.
"In fact, in my eyes, you, Tang Jue, are worse than unbearable." She took a deep breath and said the most ruthless and heart-piercing words in the softest voice. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes dropped to Tang Jue's hands, "How many people's blood have been stained on your hands, how many lives have been carried, and how many sins have you committed. I think, I'm afraid even you don't know it. You are strong, so you can be justified; no matter how many people you kill, you can also not feel guilty. But that is your world, your values. In my eyes, Qiqi, you are a dirty and bloodthirsty demon - your beautiful skin is the devil's mask; the wealth of your enemy country is the blood and bones of innocent people; your power that looks down on everything is a weapon for killing. All of this, I just feel dirty and disgusting."
Tang Jue had never been provoked like this before.
Every word almost touched his bottom line. Especially, it came from her little mouth that he had kissed twice and still felt unsatisfied.
His breath was choked, and his big hand had already grasped her fragile neck.
He looked at her so coldly, with the brutality and gloom in his eyes, as if he could split her in half.
Qiqi was trembling with fear, her fingers were stretched straight, and she clawed at the wall from behind. He held her by the neck like a chicken and lifted her up. She had no doubt that she might die in his hands today.
but…
She had wanted to say these words for a long time. She had kept them in her heart for 12 years, and only at this moment did she finally say them out.
"Qiqi, if I could kill you, I would really kill you right now!" His teeth were clenched tightly, and the veins on his face were throbbing. He would not show mercy to anyone, but she was an exception.
She could feel his hands trembling, and it took all his self-control to prevent him from actually breaking her neck.
His hand loosened. Her weak body slid down, but was held in Tang Jue's long arms.
She smelled the pleasant fragrance on him, and she felt a little dazed. The next moment, his cold long fingers crawled to her neck and parted her long hair. He bent down and bit her snow-white neck hard.
The bite was very heavy, as if with hatred of revenge and punishment, leaving a row of clear tooth marks.
She could even feel the man's white teeth digging into her skin, and she trembled a little. She didn't know if it was because she was angry, or... she was really hurt by what she had just said.
However, Tang Jue is not the kind of person who would be easily hurt. He is heartless.
"I, Tang Jue, have remembered everything you said today!" His face was buried in her long hair, making it impossible for her to read his emotions. "Qiqi, I have remembered every word you said..."
After saying the last sentence, Qiqi was pushed away by him coldly. Then, he turned and left with a tense face. His stiff and cold back was hidden in the light and shadow.
Qiqi leaned against the wall in a daze, watching the figure walking further and further away, and a thin layer of mist couldn't help but cover her eyes.
so…
His leaving now means... that he will never bother her again
She raised her hand and touched her neck, where it still hurt slightly.

Tang Jue came out of the bathroom and passed the table where Wen Xin was sitting. He didn't even pause for a step, but walked away coldly.
"Jue, wait for me." Wen Xin shouted, picked up her bag, chased after her, and took Tang Jue's arm, "Jue, come to my place tonight, okay?"
"Let go!" The cold and hard words made the air around them freeze. Wen Xin's face turned pale with fear, her hands froze for a moment, and then her fingers moved away from the man's arm inch by inch.
He pushed open the door of the restaurant and stepped into the night alone.
Without even looking back, he got into the car. With a bang, the car rushed into the darkness again like it had done when it came.
