Chapter 397: Heart Hurts So Much 02_1

“Let go!” Baili Xia said with a stern expression, her voice as cold as ice.

Dongfang Jin stubbornly held on, even tightening his grip a bit more.

He was holding her so tight, as if he wanted to knead her body into his own.

Baili Xia’s fingertips clenched around the silver chain at her waist, almost pulling it out to swing at him.

But now…

his whole body was shaking, shaking uncontrollably.

This sight made it hard for her to take a swing at him.

Helpless, she could only take a deep breath and whisper, “Let me go, please.”

“No!” Dongfang Jin was as stubborn as a child.

Once he said he wouldn’t let go, he wouldn’t let go!

“Mr.

Jin…”

“No!”

“Dongfang Jin!”

“…Xiaxia.” His voice was hoarse, low, and filled with a melancholic sob.

The hand that had been resting on his shoulder, trying to push him away, gradually lost all its strength.

This fool…

was crying.

The hot tears fell onto her neck, scalding her skin.

Why would Mr.

Dongfang Jin, who was so high above others and could stand side by side with Uncle, shed tears for a woman?

However, Dongfang Jin’s tears were only a single drop.

Then he immediately held back.

He didn’t deny that the girl in his arms wanted to push him away, but he just couldn’t stop holding her.

He was afraid that if he let her go, she would suddenly disappear before his eyes.

“I’m sorry.” How much regret and pain could be heard in this apology?

A year?

Every night he was haunted by that nightmare.

In his dream, Xiaxia had a knife and wanted to assassinate him!

It was so realistic that it didn’t seem fake at all.

That knife was still kept in his safe, with Xiaxia’s fingerprints on it.

All this was so real, combined with what he had personally seen, who would doubt its authenticity?

Locking up the knife, only he knew everything, let it all buried deep in his heart.

He dared not believe anymore, for the deeper the love, the more anxious his heart was.

He feared a repeat, feared another bout of pain.

She could hurt his body, but she couldn’t hurt his heart.

The heart…

it really ached a lot.

Baili Xia bit her lip without speaking, nor crying.

Wronged and unwilling, when she could finally vindicate herself, she discovered shockingly that there was no excitement or joy as expected.

She couldn’t even explain what it was because of.

“Jin…

watch out, Jin!”

The two people, both immersed in their own worlds, didn’t notice what Lu Xuening was doing.

By the time Baili Xia noticed Xuening’s abnormal behavior, the muzzle of Xuening’s anesthesia gun was already aimed at Dongfang Jin’s broad back.

At Baili Xia’s shout, Dongfang Jin reacted immediately.

Holding Baili Xia close, he sidestepped, narrowly escaping the tranquilizer dart.

Seeing that her attempt had failed, Lu Xuening shouted, “Guisu!”

With a “bang”, the door was forcibly flung open, and a tall figure dashed in.

The man named Guisu didn’t waste any words upon entering.

He threw a punch at Baili Xia.

Of everyone in the room, Dongfang Jin was the most formidable.

But Guisu didn’t attack Dongfang Jin, instead targeting Baili Xia!

This was something neither Baili Xia nor Dongfang Jin expected.

In the blink of an eye, Guisu’s fist was already in front of Baili Xia’s face…
