Chapter 224 - 223 Lin Qianru’s Thoughts
"Tianxing, I know you’re a very mysterious person, and I hope that one day, you’ll tell me about your affairs. No matter what happens in the future, I will not leave you; my heart will always belong to you alone, because you are the only man in my life, Lin Qianru, and I have no regrets," Lin Qianru said softly.
"Qian Ru, why are you so melancholic and sentimental today? That’s not like you. Are you hiding something from me?" Hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice.
He was no fool. Lin Qianru’s words clearly carried another meaning, a sense of separation as stark as life and death.
"I..."
Lin Qianru opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak, as tears slowly trickled down her delicate cheeks.
Lu Tianxing said nothing, just quietly watched Lin Qianru, believing she would tell him.
"Tianxing, do you remember what I told you last time at Sister Hua’s restaurant?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Qianru finally spoke slowly, "You know I ran away to avoid a forced marriage. I have a fiance in Hang City who, just a few days ago, sent me a letter through someone. In the letter, he told me that on my twenty-seventh birthday, he would come with a marriage proposal to take me back to Hang City, and if I dared to run away again, he would make the Lin Family pay for my actions with their lives..."
Listening to Lin Qianru’s narration, Lu Tianxing’s expression did not change, but he held her arm a little tighter.
