Lu Yuchen's low and gentle tone gradually suppressed Xinluo's fear of the man in front of her.
Feeling that the little woman in his arms was no longer trembling, Lu Yuchen carefully picked her up and put her on the bed.
After leaving Lu Yuchen's arms, Xinluo felt relieved.
Even though Lu Yuchen acted gentle and considerate, she had been deeply hurt by this man.
That kind of fear is engraved in the bones and cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.
Her heart loved Lu Yuchen, but her body began to fear him.
However, before Xinluo could breathe a sigh of relief, the man standing beside the bed suddenly reached out and stripped off the clothes wrapped around her.
"Ah—no, don't—"
Nightmare memories came flooding back.
The scene of being stripped of her clothes by Lu Yuchen and being pressed on the table and treated cruelly appeared in her mind almost at the moment the man took off her clothes.
Xinluo hugged her head, crying out in fear and pain, "No, no... Please don't..."
She was wrong, she was really wrong...
No, don't humiliate her anymore.
She was really wrong...
"Lolo, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Lu Yuchen just wanted to confirm that his memory was correct.
He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that everything he saw in his dream was fake.
However, the purple and red marks on the little woman's porcelain-white skin told him how cruel reality was.
He saw clearly the branding under Xinluo's collarbone, and there were even bite marks on her chest.
And the back, such a delicate little woman, had a large area of skin on her back that was worn out.
All this testified to how cruelly she had been treated.
Lu Yuchen couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He half-knelt in front of Xinluo and hugged her waist.
"Lolo, I'm sorry... I hurt you... right? I'm sorry..."
The man who had never known what tears were buried his head in Xinluo's arms, his eyes gradually becoming moist.
But Xinluo seemed to not hear what he said at all. She just kept trying to push him away and retreat.
Such a panic-stricken little woman almost broke Lu Yuchen's heart.
His Lolo is not like this.
His Lolo is flamboyant and coquettish, bright and cheerful, with the shyness of a little woman and the generosity of a lady from a wealthy family.
She loves to laugh and act coquettishly, and her every glance and smile always reveals lively vitality.
Lu Yuchen regretted it, he really regretted it.
He ignored Xinluo's objections and hugged her tightly this time.
The man hugged the struggling little body in his arms and said seriously: "Lolo, listen to me... listen to me..."
"I, I don't... let go..."
"Lolo, listen to me, it's very important." Lu Yuchen hugged Xinluo tightly and whispered in her ear, "Tell me, Luoluo, have you ever loved me? Have you?"
Xinluo was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Lu Yuchen to ask her this question.
She now has very complicated emotions towards Lu Yuchen in front of her.
There is fear, guilt, and of course... love.
But…
Seeing that Xinluo didn't say anything, the man just looked at him confusedly with his panicked peach blossom eyes.
He felt a tight pain in his chest, but smiled and said, "Well, let me ask you in another way. Luo Luo, do you love me more, or... him?"
They all knew who that 'he' was.
"I… "
This question is more difficult than the previous one.
If it were three days ago, she would still be able to find the answer.
But now…
Xinluo lowered her head and covered her ears with her hands, "I don't know... I... I really don't know..."
"No, you know... you must know." Lu Yuchen, who was obviously so protective of her, took her hand and forced her to answer.
"Lolo, be good, I must hear your answer. Tell me, do you love me more or him more?" (To be continued)
