Chapter 509 Confession
Chapter 509 Confession
In the hospital, Lucy had already fallen asleep. Song Yutong called Lu Yaoyuan outside the ward, her face full of worry.
"Hey, what's wrong with this tomboy? You're thinking about something now?" Lu Yaoyuan was still that annoying, goofy Shuxin.
Song Yutong pinched his waist hard: "I'm really annoyed right now, be serious."
"Okay, what's bothering you? Tell me." Lu Yaoyuan lazily draped one arm over Song Yutong's shoulder, still looking quite irritating.
"You said someone close to me has fallen for someone she shouldn't. Should I stop her?"
Lu Yuan frowned and took his arm off her. "You mean Lucy?"
Song Yutong was taken aback. Lucy had made it so obvious that even Lu Yaoyuan, such a careless man, had noticed it?
"Do you know who she likes?" Song Yutong asked tentatively.
Lu Yaoyuan scoffed disdainfully, "Isn't it just Mo Qing? This woman really doesn't miss any opportunity to climb the social ladder."
Even though he and Lucy were classmates, he never liked that woman. She was too calculating; everything she did was for a purpose.
Song Yutong knew this would happen if she told him. She sighed and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"
"Don't do anything. I believe Mo Qing will handle it. It's just that some women might not have a good ending. Remember, I forbid you from interfering, and you are not allowed to plead for them!" Lu Yaoyuan said domineeringly, which was rare for him.
Seeing his serious face, Song Yutong was momentarily speechless. Although Lu Yaoyuan didn't like Lucy, Lucy had helped her a lot when they were abroad. Now that she was in this situation, could she really just ignore it?
In the elegant and unique restaurant, Tong Shili and Bai Ningxuan sat facing each other. Due to work, they had more and more opportunities to meet, and Bai Ningxuan's place in her heart became increasingly important. Yet, even so, Tong Shili became more and more resistant to him.
Whether Bai Ningxuan sensed something or not, he always seemed to find various opportunities to have meals with her. His feelings for her were even quite obvious in his conversations. But could she truly love this man?
Her love life has never been smooth sailing; she is destined to never experience love. It's best to stay as far away from men like that as possible.
Seeing that Tong Shili had barely eaten anything, Bai Ningxuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it not to your liking? What would you like to eat? I'll let you..."
"No need." Tong Shili interrupted him coldly, put down her chopsticks and said, "Mr. Bai, I hope our future interactions will only be business-related. As for anything else, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have the time to accompany you."
Bai Ningxuan narrowed his long, narrow eyes and smiled gently, "Are you subtly rejecting my feelings?"
Tong Shili was stunned. This was the first time he had spoken so clearly. Her heart was in turmoil, filled with uncontrollable excitement and a deep sense of loneliness. Even if she had feelings for him, what could she do? They could never be together.
She shook her head: "I thought I was directly rejecting him."
Euphemism? She never seemed to understand it.
Bai Ningxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Then I must apologize to you in advance, I'm afraid it will cause you even more trouble in the future."
"!" Tong Shili froze. Did he mean he wasn't going to give up?
Tong Shili's feelings were complicated. She bit her lip and sneered, "With Mr. Bai's conditions, there are plenty of top-notch women flocking around you. Why would you condescend to find someone who doesn't like you? Do men always think that what they can't have is the best?"
Tong Shili's words were full of sarcasm, but Bai Ningxuan laughed instead of getting angry. "I don't know what other men think, but I only know that once I've set my mind on someone, that person must be mine, and I'll stay with them forever."
To be faithful to one's husband until the end...
Tong Shili's heart trembled violently, but she still said, "I have never believed in this word, and I don't plan to believe in it in the future."
"To be consistent from beginning to end means to accumulate day by day until the end. So, don't believe in the distant future, just believe in the present moment."
Tong Shili met Bai Ningxuan's smiling eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "I don't believe in feelings for even a second."
Bai Ningxuan raised an eyebrow, just about to speak, when suddenly a loud voice came.
With a loud bang, the table they were on shook, and the plates shattered. Everyone in the restaurant looked over, followed by a woman's scream, "Mutansha, it's you, you bitch!"
Tong Shili suddenly looked up and met the woman's sinister eyes. Her heart seemed to stop abruptly, and her panicked face turned pale. But it only lasted a second. She quickly regained her composure and casually picked up her wine glass and took a sip.
However, her hands were shaking.
Bai Ningxuan did not ignore her reaction. His usually gentle eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on her face.
The woman was dressed in expensive clothes, her entire outfit priceless, and she appeared very refined. If it weren't for the hatred in her eyes directed at Tong Shili, people would have mistaken her for a lady from a prestigious high society.
Of course, she really is.
"You bitch! I've finally found you! I'm going to kill you!" With that, she picked up a broken plate from the table and slashed at Tong Shili's neck, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.
Tong Shili reacted instinctively, grabbing the woman's wrist tightly and forcefully throwing her away.
The woman fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Tong Shili, and the next second she burst into tears, "Mutansha, you bitch, give me back my husband's life! You bitch, I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you!"
Faced with the woman's tearful accusations, Tong Shili remained silent with a cold expression.
At this moment, all the restaurant's security guards rushed over and quickly pulled the woman out. The restaurant manager was sweating profusely with nervousness, repeatedly apologizing, "Mr. Bai, I'm so sorry, this was our mistake, we apologize for disturbing your meal... It's all our fault, I'll arrange a private room for you, we'll handle this as soon as possible... this meal..."
Bai Ningxuan smiled slightly, interrupting the manager, "No need, just put it in the book first, I'll have my secretary bring the money over." He then glanced down at the woman struggling to leave his arms, "Are you hurt?"
Tong Shili didn't say anything, and the moment Bai Ningxuan released her, she walked away.
"Mutansha, you bitch! You just wait, no matter where you go, I will take my revenge! You bitch, you'll die a horrible death!"
Curses came from behind her. Tong Shili clenched her fists tightly, her long nails digging into her flesh, but she felt no pain.
She had no peace with the families of those she had brutally murdered. Over the years, she hadn't slept soundly, her dreams filled with the vengeful ghosts of those she had killed, seeking revenge.
Even after they left the restaurant, the restaurant manager continued to apologize. Bai Ningxuan turned around and said, "It wasn't your fault. No need for compensation. See you next time."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as he left, someone who didn't understand spoke up, "Manager, it wasn't our fault, why do we need to apologize?"
The manager, who is usually so arrogant, was actually bowing and scraping and almost kneeling down. Who is this person?
Upon hearing this mindless question, the manager nearly jumped three feet high, wishing he could strangle this pig.
"You idiot! Do you even know who the other party is? If he loses a single hair, we'll be buried with him!" With that, he snorted coldly, flicked his arm, and left.
The rest of the people were completely oblivious.
In the car, Tong Shili didn't say a word, sitting there with a cold face, just like usual, as if nothing had just happened.
"If you're angry, just say it. Holding it in will make you sick," Bai Ningxuan said with a light smile.
Tong Shili turned to look at him, and the next second she grabbed his neck. "Believe it or not, I can kill you right now."
Bai Ningxuan raised an eyebrow: "You should be glad it's a red light right now, otherwise we would have both perished."
Tong Shili frowned, somewhat frustrated, and withdrew her hand. "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Bai Ningxuan looked at her curiously: "Why should I be afraid of you?"
"What if what that woman said is true?" She stared intently at Bai Ningxuan, her heart pounding.
"Which woman?"
"Do you think I'm stupid, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Ningxuan smiled nonchalantly. The light turned green, and he started the car. "So what if it's true or false? What do you think I've gotten to where I am today?"
Tong Shili was taken aback: "I probably can't even count the number of bloodstains on my hands."
She said that intentionally. Yi Fanxi had reminded her that Bai Ningxuan and Master J had a grudge. She admitted that she was testing him.
"Since that's the case, why leave one alive to cause trouble for yourself?" Bai Ningxuan smiled, still smiling as he looked at her, but his eyes were icy cold. "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person escape'?"
Tong Shili stiffened, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Bai Ningxuan turned to look at her and said, word by word, "Everyone in this world has a past. Since she is the woman I have chosen, I accept her past, present, and future."
Tong Shili looked at him in disbelief. They had only known each other for a short time, yet his feelings for her were so deep? Moreover, he hadn't pursued the blood debt she mentioned. Did he think he already knew her identity?
She bit her lip, remembering J's warning. Although the Bourbon family was powerful and wealthy, would they think it was worth it for a woman like her to face a ruthless killer?
If she were to fall for him and implicate Bai Ningxuan, the result would be that this man's utter ruin. She couldn't take that risk!
Her heart was stabbed, the pain making it hard to breathe. Taking a deep breath, she said coldly, "Mr. Bai, I have no feelings for you, and please don't force me."
Bai Ningxuan smiled: "What if I insist on forcing you?"
"Your fate is only one: death!"
Bai Ningxuan smiled and said, "To die under a peony is to be romantic, Shili, how about giving it a try with me?"
"You... um!" Tong Shili stared wide-eyed at the man who had held her lips firmly, momentarily forgetting to react.
Bai Ningxuan kissed her for as long as the green light remained. His actions were unrestrained and wild, completely throwing Tong Shili off balance. It was in that instant that she suddenly realized something…
She couldn't resist Bai Ningxuan; he would become her lifelong curse!
This feeling is completely different from when I was facing Yi Fanxi.
