Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 331 - 216: Your Unwavering Heart, Nian You as Before_2

He shook his head, still gazing at her seriously and calmly.

"It’s still my fault."

"Even if I failed to find you the night before the wedding, at least I found you on the wedding day. If I had been braver, I should have taken you away at all costs, not let you marry Xiang Yuan."

He spoke and then lowered his eyes in sadness, looking at his own hands.

That day, his hands were so feeble.

"When I walked in that day... I shouldn’t have fled so haphazardly."

No matter what, even if he heard her getting intimate with Xiang Yuan that day, he was the one who should have understood her best. He should have defeated his Heart Demon at that moment, bravely walked in, pushed Xiang Yuan aside, and held her hand to take her away.

Even if she might not recognize him, even if she would scream, even if Xiang Yuan was his childhood friend, even if his parents and family were downstairs, even if all those rich and distinguished guests knew him... He shouldn’t have fled at that moment disgracefully, he should have taken her away!

He looked up again, his eyes already slightly teary.

"It’s all because I wasn’t brave enough. So, I deserve you refusing to love me, I deserve you choosing to stand by Huangfu Huazhang’s side."

.

Shi Nian stared at Tang Yanqing in front of her, somewhat surprised.

The person in front of her seemed like a helpless child, with unfamiliar tears shining in his eyes.

She was a bit at a loss, rubbing her hands, only able to comfort him: "... Mr. Tang, how can you say that? Back then, you and I were strangers. Why should you take me away, and that during my wedding?"

"Moreover, even if you had come on the night before my wedding, or wanted to take me away on the wedding day—why would I go with you?"

He gazed at her, eyes shining.

"No, it’s still my fault. If I had tried harder, we wouldn’t have been strangers at that time; if I had been a bit braver, you would have understood my words, and you would have come with me."

Shi Nian was stunned, then shook her head with a bitter smile.

"Mr. Tang, what are you actually talking about?"

He stretched out his long arms, and before she could dodge, he grasped her wrist firmly. His gaze was sincere and resolute, looking straight into her eyes.

"What I want to say is, I brought you back to this room to return to the night before your wedding with Xiang Yuan. The mistake I made started here, and I hope to make it right from here."

As he spoke, he stood up, then knelt down on one knee in front of her.

He looked up and gazed deeply at her: "Tonight, let me love you."

.

She stood up abruptly in shock, trying hard to free her hand but failed, accidentally knocking the chair over with a bang.

She looked down at him in panic: "Mr. Tang, stop this nonsense, really. We are both adults, I’m not incapable of experiencing bodily pleasure... It’s just, I’ve already found the person I want."

He got up, his wrist turning, and before she knew it, his other hand had already taken out the handcuffs he carried with him, and with a swift motion, he had already cuffed their hands together while she was still in shock!

The key was pulled out, glinting silver in front of her eyes, and then he dragged her to the window, where he threw it forcefully out towards the sea!

The window opened, bringing in the roar of the waves like an unknown beast, opening its mouth wide to swallow the tiny silver key!

"Mr. Tang!"

She panicked, staring at the now vanished key, almost about to shed tears.

He bent down towards her, his gaze entangling hers tightly: "Even if you found someone, so what? You still haven’t fully regained your memory, so no matter who you’ve found, I won’t agree!"

"Until you regain your memories, you are allowed to stay by my side. Even if you don’t agree, I’ll lock you, tie you, handcuff you!"

"But you promised me!"

Shi Nian shook her hand anxiously, but her response was only the sound of the metal chains of the handcuffs clashing.

"I did promise you," he stared into her eyes, forbidding her from looking away, "But only on the condition that you remember everything on your own. Then I’ll allow you to be with the person you completely remember, and I won’t stop you; but before that, I won’t let go!"

This was a logic trap he had long designed for her, patiently watching to prevent her from escaping on her own.

If he hadn’t designed it early on, when she proposed to first find the person in her dreams and only stay with him if she couldn’t, he would never have agreed.

"But how can you know I haven’t regained my memory?"
