Chapter 252 My Love Is Fulfillment
“I am about to die. You can go to him after my death and have your happily ever after then,” Gu Mingchen said coldly while locking his eyes on Bai Rong.
She dared not return his gaze. “Without the divorce agreement, I will still be your wife after your death. I do not wish to carry this title around with me.”
“Fine. It would be shameless of me to hold on to someone who hates me to the core.” He snatched over the divorce papers from her hands and signed immediately.
Bai Rong watched on as he swiftly signed his name in clean strokes.
His handwriting is still graceful, bold, and precise.
She averted her gaze, looking into the distance at the dispersed mist.
I fought so hard for this marriage. And now, I’ve destroyed it with my own hands.
Gu Mingchen hurled the pen and divorce papers to the ground and snapped at her, “You can get lost now.”
“There’s still one more agreement. Please sign it.” Bai Rong handed over a marriage agreement between him and Zhou Hailan.
A ball of fire rose within him, and his eyes glowed with anger as he read its contents. “Now, what is the meaning of this?”
“I’m afraid you might harass me in the future. At least this will give me peace of mind,” she replied nonchalantly.
Gu Mingchen’s anger spiked, and he threw the agreement at her face. “You have already planned to kill me here. So is there a need to sign a marriage agreement between Zhou Hailan and me?”
“Your family is too powerful. What if they rescue you successfully? I’d rather not take any chances.”
“Even if I escape, I will choose whoever I want to marry as long as the person is not you. Get lost. I do not want to see you.” He turned his back on her.
“Your child is still in my hands. I advise you to sign this agreement or your bloodline ends with him,” she threatened.
Gu Mingchen slammed his body against the iron bars emitting such a baring sound as though he was going to tear the barrier down.
He shouted, “Bai Rong, are you that vicious and bloodthirsty?”
“Your days are numbered, so it does not matter how you look at me. Sign the agreement, and you can die in peace,” she replied icily.
He glared at her. Bai Rong knew she would look guilty by avoiding his gaze again, so this time, she raised her head and stared straight into his eyes.
The two of them locked eyes for a minute. Gu Mingchen ordered, “Give me the agreement.”
She picked up the papers and pen on the floor and handed it to him.
“You’d better pray that you can hold me here forever, or I’ll make your life worse than death.” His body was spasming with anger.
Bai Rong looked at him calmly. The weight of this cruel world was too much for her to bear. With what little time left, she planned to go abroad after finding the murderers for Tang Xiaojiu and die quietly in a place. Alone.
“If you want to deal with me, you must be greater than what you are now. Or you will die in my hands again,” she sneered.
Gu Mingchen threw the agreement to the ground and turned his back on her again.
She picked up both agreements and placed them neatly in her bag. She looked at him for the last time with a gentle smile. As she turned around and walked out of the room, tears streamed down her face.
Su Xuyan removed her blindfold, leaned forward, and placed cupped her face with one hand. “I can do whatever I want with you, and you can’t resist at all. Isn’t that the case?”
“Women’s bodies are all the same to you. What you want is my heart.” She gave him a cold, hard stare.
He held her chin, placing his face closed to hers, and whispered into her ear. “So, will you give me your heart?”
“I gave it to you once,” she admitted.
Su Xuyan paused and gazed into her eyes with a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. “But now you have given it to Gu Mingchen.”
“Do you even think it’s still possible between him and me?” she asked with a sense of hatred.
“You’re right. To live, you can only choose to be with me. Your body now belongs to me and will only be mine. I’m not afraid of waiting; I have a lifetime to do that. It will be the deepest confession of love.” He loosened his grip on her.
“Our way of love is different. Yours is a possession a child has for his toy. For me, love is fulfillment. We don’t belong in the same world.” Bai Rong continued solemnly, “I will leave once I complete your task. You will never see me again, nor stay by my side.”
Her words agitated him. “The world belongs to the strong. Likewise, the strong will get the women. You can get off now. Do nothing you will regret. Since I can let Gu Mingchen go, I can also capture him again.”
With that, he signaled for his chauffeur to stop the car.
Bai Rong got out of the car and looked at the endless night sky that was swallowing her and the road ahead like an abyss.
There was also nowhere else she could go, so she made her way to a nearby hotel to stay for the night.
She had to plan her next steps carefully. Perhaps the earlier she was dead, the safer Gu Mingchen would be.
