Murong Xue hurried to stop Shangguan Mo who was acting crazy now because Zhang Linli seemed to be unable to take one more punch. She even did not have time for the hot prickly feeling on her face.

She rushed to stand between the two, closed her eyes, and waited to take Shangguan Mo's angry fist.

However, Shangguan Mo's fist hovered a centimeter away from her face and she even could feel a gust of wind caused by his movement, which made her heart race and turned her face pale blue.

Shangguan Mo's eyes became red and his voice was very cold, "Why are you protecting him? You are shameless."

Murong Xue's face was filled with disbelief when she heard what he said. "Shangguan Mo, are you crazy? Linli is your friend. How can you do this to him?" She turned to check Zhang Linli and found his face was red swollen and his nose and mouth were bleeding, which indicated how hard Shangguan Mo's hit was.

Shangguan Mo smashed the table next to him with a kick. "I'm crazy? I don't know you are a shameless sl*t. I've only been gone for a couple of days, and you are with him now!"

Murong Xue's heart twisted when she heard such hurtful words. She had never thought that he would think of her in that way. With tears running down her face, Murong Xue was possessed by a feeling of throbbing and excruciating pain. She turned around to help Zhang Linli stand up and asked in a soft voice, "Linli, how are you?"

Zhang Linli felt the pain from the injuries covering his body and his face was burning hot. He wanted to comfort Murong Xue who was concerned about him, only to have a sharp intake of breath because of the pain when trying to speak. Therefore, he could only shake his head slightly to tell her that he was okay.

Murong Xue's tears had aroused Shangguan Mo's sympathy, which had almost made him apologize. But when he saw she was so tender when helping Zhang Linli stand up, his anger grew stronger. He could not stand that she cared about another man so much. She was even crying. Shangguan Mo began to wonder about his place in her heart.

He grabbed her tightly. "Even if you die, you could only be mine." He would never allow her to leave him.

"What are you doing? Let go of me. Let go of me..." Murong Xue kept struggling to resist him and she found him very frightening now.

"Let go of you? Huh, you wish." Despite her struggling, Shangguan Mo confined her in his arms and took her to the room.

Zhang Linli went forward to stop him, but he felt dizzy and passed out.

Murong Xue was thrown carelessly on the cold bed. Before her eyes could adjust to the dark, she felt Shangguan Mo's strong heavy body pressing her. She struggled in panic, frightened.

"Shangguan Mo, what are you doing? Let go of me." Murong Xue was terrified and kept pushing him. Her face was filled with terror amid darkness and the room was filled with her constant scream. She thought that Shangguan Mo was insane tonight and he was unprecedentedly scary to her.

"Are you happy with Zhang Linli these days? Are you sharing one bed with him every night and seducing him with your undergrown body? I did not expect to love such a woman." Shangguan Mo said in a cold and angry voice. He kissed her on the lips very roughly and he stared down at her. He wouldn’t let her go. He decided that he would never let go of this woman and he would get her body at least if she did not cherish him.

He unbuckled his belt and tied her struggling hands.

"No. Let go of me. If you dare to do anything to me, I'll never forgive you, never." Murong Xue said through gritted teeth. She even began to hate this man when she saw his angry eyes. As she said, if he would do anything to her, she would get back on him and hate him forever.

"Forgive me?" Shangguan Mo laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous and irony filled his beautiful eyes. "Do I need you to forgive me? You'll never get rid of me." He subconsciously ignored the wave of panic inside him brought by the hint of hatred in her eyes and he was unable to refrain from fury when recalling what he saw tonight.

Seeing him tie her hands angrily, Murong Xue exclaimed,

"Shangguan Mo, you pervert. I hate you. I hate you." Her eyes were filled with strong hatred. She did not understand why he was doing this to her and she felt that everything he said about loving her before was a lie. Tears fogged her eyes again.

Shangguan Mo squinted at her. "You asked for it. You shameless sl*t. Did you seduce Zhang Linli with this appealing look? Tell me, when did you hook up with him?"

Murong Xue became so disappointed that she backfired like a sulky boy, "Linli is so much better than you! You monster..." Now, with the hatred inside her growing stronger, she recalled what happened last life and laughed at herself that she let the same thing happen to herself once again. If she had known about this, she would never have loved him.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Mo said in a very low voice, but his lips were set in a grim line and his eyes grew colder.

Murong Xue looked back at him with the same cold eyes since she was too desperate to fear anything. "I told the truth." Thinking of how he beat Zhang Linli, she felt even more heartbroken when seeing his horrible face.

"The truth? You think it's the truth? How dare you!" Shangguan Mo's red eyes grew wider. Then he angrily smashed the magnificent decorative glass next to him.

Sharp pieces of the glass dug into his flesh and his fist was covered with blood.

Murong Xue's face became paler. The blood on his hand made her heart twist.

But thinking of his violent behaviors just now, she refrained from the impulse to dress his wound.

Shangguan Mo felt he would stop breathing the next second.

The twitching of his heart made him suspect that he was going to die at any moment now.

He took one step forward and moved very slowly, and he felt every step was so overwhelming to him.

The woman he loved was right in front of him.

But her eyes were so cold.

Panic and jealousy were entangled inside him.

The veins stood out on Shangguan Mo's hands and his ferocious look made Murong Xue tremble with fear.

If his eyes could kill others, she would have long been dead.

"Say, say you love me. Say everything is a misunderstanding." Shangguan Mo spoke in a deep voice.

Murong Xue tried to say something but failed, and her cheeks were bathed in tears once again.

She refused to say it.

She did not understand why she had to suffer from his anger every time even if she did nothing wrong.

She did not want to say it.

She thought that love should not be like this.

Murong Xue's tears made Shangguan Mo's heart flood with a feeling of burning pain.

He did not expect that it would be so difficult for her to say she loved him.

He did not know what to do now. He could not afford to lose her. If she wanted to leave him to be with someone else, he would rather let her die.

His crazy thought even frightened himself and he took a few steps backward in fear.

Murong Xue felt like their relationship had come to an end now.

It seemed that their fleeting love was coming to an end right after it started.

The sadness tore her heart to pieces.

Shangguan Mo strove to refrain from his crazy thought, but the next moment he dragged her to the bedside and grabbed her by the throat.

Murong Xue's eyes were wide open.

She never thought he would treat her like this.

But Shangguan Mo withdrew his hand in horror immediately.

He could not believe what he had just done to her.

He saw Murong Xue's face was filled with horror and disbelief.

"Xue, no. It's not like that." Shangguan Mo explained in panic.

Murong Xue was totally discouraged now.

She saw his cold eyes clearly just now.

"You..." Murong Xue could only manage to say one word and then she was choked with sobs.

Shangguan Mo rushed forward and reached out to hold her hands with his own trembling hands.

Murong Xue was frightened and stepped backward. "No. Don't come near me."

Shangguan Mo's face grew darker and darker.

She was afraid of him.

He did not know why.

She was the one who did wrong.

She should not have been intimate with other men.

She knew he was unable to take it.

He really could not do it.

He would destroy anyone who wanted to take her away from him by any means.

Or, he could imprison her and keep her around forever.

"You are a liar." Murong Xue burst into tears. Grievances and panic finally crushed her.

Shangguan Mo stood still and did not know what to do.

It seemed like that he was stunned by her cries. With his mind going blank, Shangguan Mo didn’t dare to move.

He was afraid that he would frighten her again.

She cried her heart out. She cried so hard that it sounded like the breaking of the world.

She cried like she wanted to vent all her grievances these years.

Shangguan Mo stood there quietly, watching her cry.

He still did not know what he should do with her.

He did not know how to save himself from the pain tearing apart his heart, either.

So in the room, she was crying and he was in a daze without moving.

Suddenly, Shangguan Mo found that he still did not want to let go of her even if she kept crying forever.

Suddenly, Murong Xue stopped crying.

Shangguan Mo was startled and ran over quickly.

Murong Xue passed out. There were two lines of tear strains on her pale face. When he thought of the hatred in her eyes before, Shangguan Mo's heart missed a beat and sank into pain. However, he did not regret what he had done today because he wanted to keep her around even if she did not love him.

He picked up Murong Xue. What he did not know was that his eyes grew much tender when looking at her unconscious face.

After confirming that she was just tired of crying, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Mo made her lie flat on the bed and carefully tucked her in. Then he went out to check on his good friend.
