Chapter 545 Walk Alone (2)
But the two people in front of them seemed like they were one. He couldn’t interfere between them at all! This disparity caused him to take a few steps back. Then, he turned around abruptly to leave!
Things shouldn’t be this way! Clearly, he was the one Mo’er paid the most attention to back in Yuheng!
It shouldn’t be this way!
Once he left, Gong Yimo couldn’t stand it anymore and silently pushed Gong Jue away. Sensing her anger, Gong Jue didn’t force her anymore and let go.
“You heard it.”
Gong Yimo lifted her head and said. At this moment, her crown was swaying along with her movements, letting off a cold gleam that caused Gong Jue’s heart to sink.
She pursed her lips and continued.
“There is a heavenly rift between you and me. You forced me to the point where I couldn’t even think, but I understand now. This life, this road, is still one that I wish to walk alone.”
Her voice was low, but Gong Jue heard her each and every word.
Alone. It may be a long and lonely road, but there were much fewer responsibilities she had to bear. She didn’t worry about being booed by the world by being together with Gong Jue, didn’t have to worry about him being used as something to threaten her with, or worry that he would have a change of heart.
It was truly too scary to like a person…Sometimes, when you lose your heart, you would become someone completely different. Even if she and Gong Jue kept a secret relationship in the shadows, could Gong Jue avoid not getting married? When that time comes, she would have to share him with other women and always be on edge.
It was too terrifying, too tiring. If so, she might as well give up from the start.
But Gong Jue seemed unmoved. He even laughed as if Gong Yimo wasn’t currently calmly drawing the lines with him and just bickering normally with him.
“Do you want to leave me?” Gong Jue asked. “Just like how you used Jin Yun to make me give up, so how are you going to make me give up?”
Gong Yimo couldn’t answer that question. How could she get Gong Jue to give up on her? …Marry someone else?
“Don’t even think about it!”
Gong Jue seemed to be able to guess her thoughts and quickly stopped her.
“I’ll kill anyone you marry. Even if you marry to another kingdom, I will start a war to snatch you back. When the time comes, you will either kill me on the battlefield or be taken back by me, to be confined and doted on by me alone!”
“By what virtue!”
Gong Yimo huffed angrily as she glared at him.
“By virtue of…my deeply-rooted love for you.”
This was even harder for Gong Yimo to accept!
“That’s your own problem! I don’t owe you anything, so why are you treating me like this? Can’t you just listen for once? Isn’t it good enough for us to go back to how we were before?!”
Her whole life, from the moment she opened her eyes, from when she chose to please the emperor and become a princess! She thought of being implicated in the Gong family’s matters, but she wouldn’t take revenge because they hadn’t done anything to her yet. But that didn’t mean that she owed them anything!
She yelled loudly, but Gong Jue was quiet and calm. He was eyeing her closely with his picturesque eyes, as if treating all her anger as irrational.
Gong Yimo felt very disgruntled. In the next moment, her eyes turned wet.
She knew she was being unreasonable, but she just couldn’t stand it!
She crouched down, then she tore off all the gold hairpins from her head one by one and threw them to the ground!
“You’re all doing this on purpose! You’re purposefully bullying me! I already said I hate wearing these hairpins! Just why do I have to be forced to wear these?!?!”
