I was so shocked that I couldn’t utter a single word.
Zhao Dong didn’t seem to feel annoyed by my silence but went on to preach in his gentle voice about the happy life he would bring me in the future.
I felt my heart melting little by little.
But next, a twinge in my heart made my eyes misty again. Taking a deep breath, I came back to my senses completely. “That’s impossible! I’ve told you my terms of our divorce,” I said, trying to keep my composure.
After hanging up, I couldn’t hold my tears back anymore.
I buried my face in the quilt and cried loudly. As I felt the chill all over, I couldn’t help shivering slightly.
We were done! Nothing would ever be the same again!
Drowning in my own sorrow, I didn’t notice that Quan Shaoze had come to my bedside.
After a while, when I looked up, I suddenly met his grim eyes.
“So, you’re still reluctant…” He pinched my chin while curving his sexy lips up slightly.
Though he was smiling, I felt the shivers it had sent down my spine, which even made my heart falter.
Being seized with panic, I felt my heart pounding like a drum and my palms began to sweat.
I moved backward instinctively, trying to distance myself from Quan Shaoze.
However, it only enraged him.
“Fine!” he said coldly, the look in his sharp eyes had never been so fierce and grim.
I felt shivers running down my spine at his words again. However, before I could say anything, he pulled me out of bed forcibly.
Almost hardly before I could stand firmly, he threw over a scarlet cheongsam, which was brand-new, but as solemn as the former one.
“Get changed! You have three minutes!” He said coldly and stared at me with a sullen look without the slightest hint of intention to leave.
I twitched my lips but failed to say anything.
I knew that for the moment, no matter what explanation I gave, he would think I was trying to pullmy tricks off.
Finally, I swallowed the humiliation and put on the cheongsam obediently under his burning gaze, gritting my teeth.
With a snort, he turned to leave, signaling me to follow. Only then did I quietly wipe the tears off the corner of my eyes with trembling hands.
No matter how wronged I felt, I couldn’t pour out my grievances to him.
Maybe it was because I walked too slowly, Quan Shaoze became impatient.
He dragged me into the mourning hall with all his strength expressionlessly and without a word, he began to force me to bow to Quan Jinnian’s portrait, just like what he had done before.
Every time I lowered my head, I could see the tears of humiliation rolling down and falling onto the icy, black marble floor.
The wedding ceremony didn’t take long, but it was so hard for me as if my heart had been trampled upon a thousand times.
The familiar desperation overtook me again.
After forcing me to finish the wedding ceremony, Quan Shaoze left. And I went back to my room in a daze, my mind blank.
“Lin Feng, look at you! What a mess you’ve made of your life!”
At the thought of this, I suddenly felt like crying again.
“God, what on earth have I done to deserve such misfortune?”
Whenever I was inundated with desperation, I would think of my brother.
I missed him so much and even if it would take my kneeling in front of Quan Shaoze, I would do exactly what he required to get out of here and see my brother!
