Chapter 198: Only Accept Devotion in Returni
Dongfang Yu’s words got more and more out of line as he spoke with a tone of amusement.
Hai Xiaotang felt both angry and amused.
“Playing coy with you? Do you think that’s possible?” She scoffed disdainfully.
Dongfang Yu’s voice turned cold. “If not, then what business do you have here?!”
Hai Xiaotang thought there was something wrong with him.
“Didn’t 1 already tell you, your wife asked me to come persuade you.”
“She told you to come and you did?” Dongfang Yu scoffed, “Do you really care about me this much? 1 thought, even if I were really dead, you wouldn’t bat an eye!”
For the first time, Hai Xiaotang saw a grown man being so petty.
Since he didn’t appreciate her trying to talk him around, she wasn’t going to waste her time.
Hai Xiaotang said indifferently, “You think I wanted to come? I only came to repay you for saving my life. If you don’t appreciate it, then so be it. Do whatever you like!”
With that, she turned to leave.
“Stop ”
Dongfang Yu suddenly shouted out!
Hai Xiaotang turned back, irritated. “What now? I’m very busy, if you’ve got something to say, say it quickly!”
Dongfang Yu, however, suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
“You admit that I saved you that day?” He stared at her, his question coming out in a low voice.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand what he was trying to do, so she nodded. “Yes, I admit.”
“Are you trying to repay me for saving your life?” He came to stand in front of her and asked again.
Hai Xiaotang instinctively took a step back to put some distance between them. “Yes, I wouldn’t mind paying you back. But…”/it has to be within my abilities.
“Then you must pledge yourself to me!” Dongfang Yu suddenly blurted out.
Hai Xiaotang was stunned.
The man looked at her sullenly, his voice equally somber. “To you, wanting to repay me for saving your life, I only accept you pledging yourself to me!”
Hai Xiaotang’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Dongfang Yu, your head must have been damaged that day!”
“My brain is no worse than yours.”
“Ha…” Hai Xiaotang sneered. “Who was the one looking like they didn’t care if 1 came earlier? Now you want me to pledge myself to you, you must be sick!”
Dongfang Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him!
His grip was incredibly strong, not at all like a man with a broken rib.
Hai Xiaotang frowned. “What are you doing?”
Dongfang Yu wore an expressionless face. “I don’t need your fake kindness, nor your concern just to fulfill a task. 1 only accept a pledge of yourself. If you can’t do it, then leave! Stop bothering me!”
Hai Xiaotang’s expression flickered. She struggled to free her wrist. “Fine, I’m leaving now, let go of me.”
But not only did Dongfang Yu not let go, his grip tightened.
Hai Xiaotang struggled a few times, finding his grip as tight as a bull tendon.
The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became…
What angered her the most was that he put on an indifferent face, as if he was saying it didn’t matter to him whether she stayed or left.
The issue was…
“Let go of me!” Hai Xiaotang lost her patience, increasingly convinced that he was crazy.
Dongfang Yu was getting angry for no reason. “If you want to leave, nobody’s stopping you!”
Hai Xiaotang startled.
What on earth was he saying?
I~Swear, she was so angry that she felt like her lungs were going to explode!
In her anger, Hai Xiaotang bit hard on the back of his hand!
Dongfang Yu suddenly felt dizzy, and his grip on her hand inadvertently loosened
Hai Xiaotang immediately took the opportunity to push him away and turn to leave.
But just as she made it to the door, there was a loud thud from behind her. It was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Hai Xiaotang paused in her step, hesitating to turn around…
But to her surprise, Dongfang Yu had fainted!
