My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 835: Forever Indelible
She had to remember her place and not foolishly wish to marry and leave the Ling’s Family.
He used power and intimidation to torment her, making her utterly fearful and submissive to him, daring not to defy his orders. That way, he could control her and forbid her from getting close to any man.
He wanted her to have eyes and a heart filled with nothing but him, leaving only him.
Only then could he feel she belonged to him.
"You’re insane," Ye Lu looked at him, his love indeed twisted.
Put plainly, he was just a stubborn man who didn’t know how to express himself.
It only drove Qingchi further away from him, making her fear and want to avoid him more. But the more she avoided him, the more he was provoked, tormenting her more viciously, creating a vicious cycle.
If love is an excuse for harm, then such love truly destroys a person.
"I know, it was my fault. I’ve hurt her too deeply." Ling Xiu’s face was filled with remorse impossible to bear, looking up pleadingly at Ye Lu, "But from now on, I will treat her well. I won’t hurt her anymore. Ye Lu, tell me, where is she? I really need her. I can’t lose her."
Ye Lu fell silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into mocking laughter.
"Ling Xiu, what makes you think that just because you’ve had an epiphany, regretted, and won’t hurt her anymore, you deserve to have her back? You only regret after having lost everything. Why didn’t you cherish her in the first place? Why do you men think that the hurt from the past can be easily erased and act as if it never existed just because you’re willing to change?"
A surge of anger and sorrow suddenly rose in her chest.
"Some hurts can never be erased, never be forgiven!"
Ling Xiu’s complexion shook.
Ye Lu’s expression was ice-cold, "You regret it and want her back. Does that mean she has to come back? Have you considered her feelings, whether she wants to come back, whether she is willing to accept you? You men, when you are heartless, you never think of the pain and consequences for the other person, but when you regret, you assume women must forgive you. But, in this world, there is no medicine for regret, and not every woman will choose to forgive."
Her words, filled with anger, made Third Young Master Jun, who had just walked in from outside the garden, stiffen at the entrance, his face turning exceptionally pale.
Ling Xiu’s face turned even paler, "Are you saying that she won’t forgive me, won’t come back?"
"Ling Xiu, I knew you couldn’t find her, and you would come looking for me. So I asked her, in case you came asking, what to answer."
Ling Xiu held his breath, incredibly nervous.
"What did she say?"
"She told me never to tell you."
Ling Xiu felt as if struck by lightning, completely stunned, his heart filled with despair as if a ball of fire was burning in his lungs, causing him excruciating pain.
She was indeed going to leave him for good, never to appear again.
He was going to lose her, lose her forever.
No, he would go mad. He couldn’t be without her.
"So, Ling Xiu, if you truly love her, respect her decision and don’t bother her anymore!"
Thump, a sound rang out as Ling Xiu suddenly knelt before Ye Lu.
Ye Lu was stunned, watching him kneel before her, she hurriedly reached out a hand to pull him up, "Ling Xiu, what are you doing? Get up!"
The proud and arrogant Second Young Master of the Ling’s Family was now forgoing his dignity, humbly kneeling before her.
"I don’t know if she will forgive me, or even if she does, whether she’ll love me and come back to me. But I do know, if I don’t even try, there won’t be any hope at all, and I’ll have truly lost her completely!"
