Chapter 71: Chapter 071 be good
Author: DawnMachine Translation
Jin Di's heart jumped in his chest. He didn't know how to answer.
She cried and glared at him, continuing to question him.
"Even my parents have never criticized me like this before. What right do you have to treat me this way? It's true, I don't want to let myself be bullied by those people. When I see Chen Ziyi and Zuo Yunyun flaunting their *****ery right under my nose, I wish I could crush them right under my feet, but...I just don't have the power to do that. The Chen family is too influential, and the Zuo family has nothing. I have nothing. I know that you're trying to help me, but you're still a man, and men can't be trusted. I just can't allow myself to start relying on you. How do I know you won't be like Chen Ziyi and leave me for someone else once you get tired of me?"
Hearing Chen Ziyi's name on Zuo Aiai's lips, Jin Di grew angry.
He grabbed her chin and snarled, "Don't compare me to that man!"
"Can you guarantee me that you're so different from him? You may praise me to the heavens now—so did he—but can you promise me you'll continue to treat me this way in the future? How do I know you won't just leave me the moment someone new and exciting comes along?"
Her eyes sparkled with determination. Jin Di was started at being asked such a straightforward question.
He fell silent.
It was true, he couldn't give her love, so naturally, he couldn't tell her what she wanted to hear.
"See? All men are the same. I guess I never had a chance, but I can't say I'm surprised. What happened to 'Jin Di's woman'? Was the title meaningless? I never accepted it because I knew if I never did, I wouldn't feel hurt even if you did end up leaving me. You have no right to criticize me, Jin Di. You're no better than Chen Zi—!"
She fell silent as he reached out and covered her lips with his hand.
He held it so long that her face started to turn red because she couldn't breathe. Finally, he removed his hand, bit her lower lip, and enunciated each word as he said,
"I'll say it one more time. Don't compare me to a man like Chen Ziyi!"
Even if what she said was true, she could not treat him like this forever.
But even if he couldn't promise her what she wanted, he would never behave like Chen Ziyi. If they broke up in the future, they would do it peacefully, and he would never allow anyone to humiliate her.
Anyone!
She was still in pain from his bite. She cried and groaned.
His body was burning hot. He had long lost his appetite for the dishes on the table!
She felt herself being carried by him.
"Stop pestering me."
He unbuttoned her shirt...
