She would never ask how much Zhan Beihan was sincere towards her.
And how much of it is due to her resistance and disobedience, the desire to conquer and the unwillingness to do so?
Perhaps it was because Zhan Beihan's life was so smooth, he held a high position, held great power, and had people offer him what he wanted without even asking, that after running into several obstacles in front of her, he became obsessed with her.
That's why he kept pressing harder and harder, insisting on getting a satisfactory result.
Zhan Beihan narrowed his eyes, tightened the fingers holding her chin slightly, and said coldly: "Whether I will let you go or not is another matter. What I am asking now is what you think! Don't make any detours for me."
"I didn't beat around the bush, what I said was the truth." Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly in discomfort and reached out to grab his wrist, "Let go first."
"Let's make it clear first!" Zhan Beihan refused to let go.
The atmosphere suddenly became deadlocked.
Xiao Lingyue stared at him with some annoyance, thinking, Zhan Beihan has such a bad temper, but he still has the nerve to call her stubborn!
He is obviously the most stubborn one, and he has to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it!
It's so persistent that it makes you helpless.
There were soldiers patrolling on the deck. Although everyone was very sensible, they walked around without looking sideways. The soldiers standing guard turned around and faced the other side, not daring to take another look this way.
Zhan Beihan stood in front of her, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.
But, even so.
Xiao Lingyue was still not used to being intimate with him in the presence of outsiders, and she always felt uncomfortable.
She had no choice but to take a step back and sighed: "It's definitely different now than before. After all, so many things have happened, and I'm not a stone-hearted person. How could I not feel anything at all?"
Zhan Beihan's eyes moved slightly and asked again: "What then?"
"If it were in the past, I wouldn't have said those words just now." Xiao Lingyue said softly, "I would only try to change the topic, find excuses and reasons, and fool them first. In short, I just can't tell the truth."
This is real.
She is actually no less wary than Zhan Beihan.
When Zhan Beihan didn't know her identity, he was hostile to her and even had murderous intentions.
The reason why Xiao Lingyue didn't is because she had always known Zhan Beihan and what kind of person he was. Because of her past as "Wei Shaorong", she didn't have much real hostility towards Zhan Beihan.
At best, the emotions are complicated.
There are too many things hidden in her heart and she has too many worries.
So whether it's love or hate, no emotion is simple. Xiao Lingyue is used to suppressing her emotions and not letting them affect her reason. This is also her instinct to protect herself.
But no matter what, she was indeed on guard against Zhan Beihan.
It can even be said that she was only 50% or 60% wary of strangers, but she put 12% of her vigilance on Zhan Beihan. She was cautious about him every step of the way, almost to the point of guarding him to death.
When I first returned to Beijing.
The two of them have been testing and guarding against each other. On the surface, they seem to be calm, but secretly the competition has never stopped.
Although this kind of relationship is not to the point of putting each other to death.
But he is worse than a stranger.
Neither enemy nor friend, walking on thin ice with no trust at all.
Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible for Xiao Lingyue to tell the truth to Zhan Beihan. Even if everything she said is true, when combined together, it becomes false.
But now, the situation is different after all.
Xiao Lingyue was shocked to realize at this moment that her attitude towards Zhan Beihan had changed at some point.
Becoming more and more natural, peaceful and relaxed.
