Xiao Yufan’s pair of devilish eyes left Liu Hua nowhere to escape. Eventually, she simply fixed him with a gaze, her stubbornness laced with a hint of grievance.
“Don’t worry, I have no interest in you. I just wanted to see what kind of woman you’ve become after being offered by the Liu family to the Situ family!”
A faint, eerie curve lifted the corner of Xiao Yufan’s lips as he gazed at Liu Hua’s delicate profile, his eyes brimming with an indescribable amusement. To him, Liu Hua was merely a pawn of the Liu family.
“What I become is hardly any of Young Master Xiao’s concern. Even if the Liu family abandons me, so what…”
A tremor rippled through Liu Hua’s aura, her beautiful eyes faintly glistening with tears. Despite her strength, she was still a woman, and all her pride crumbled pale before Xiao Yufan.
“Is being my woman really that unbearable for you? Or perhaps you still think I’m not worthy of you…”
Gently lifting Liu Hua’s delicate chin, Xiao Yufan now resembled a spoiled playboy. Surprisingly, under this provocation, Liu Hua made no move to evade him, for she knew even if she did, it would be useless.
“I never change what I’ve said. My man must be extraordinary, and you, Xiao Yufan, still don’t meet that standard…”
Actually, Liu Hua herself wasn’t sure why she resented Xiao Yufan so much. Was it because he belonged to the Situ family or because of his audacious, rebellious nature?
“Is that so? If even I’m not worthy, I don’t think anyone else will be good enough for our Miss Liu. It’s been a year—have you found the man worthy of you yet?”
Letting out a cold chuckle, Xiao Yufan seemed to have anticipated Liu Hua’s response. A sharp glint flickered in his eyes, unfazed by her biting sarcasm.
“I’d rather spend my whole life alone…”
“Then I’ll make sure the entire Liu family perishes along with you. You’d better believe in my strength. Even without relying on the Situ clan, I can still wipe the Liu family off the business scene in Beijing in no time at all!”
His eyes exuding unquestionable authority, Xiao Yufan wore a thick expression of disdain on his face. Perhaps a year ago, the Liu family could have given him a real headache, but now, erasing them was merely a matter of moments for him.
“You’re despicable…”
Her body shuddered violently. Even though Liu Hua didn’t harbor deep feelings for the Liu family, she was still one of them and naturally did not wish for Xiao Yufan to truly bring disaster upon them.
“Despicable? I’ve never considered myself despicable. At least in the eyes of my woman, I’m better than any other man…”
Xiao Yufan laughed somewhat arrogantly. Although he considered himself charming rather than vulgar, being called despicable angered him slightly. It seemed this woman always touched the most tender part of his heart.
“Other than threatening me with the Liu family, what else can you do? By that standard alone, you’re not worthy at all!”
Clutching her teeth tightly, Liu Hua’s gaze turned icy. The heavy burden of the Liu family made her feel powerless, unable to bear the weight of so much responsibility on her shoulders.
“I can do much more than that. Rest assured, you’ll come to know in time. As my woman, you won’t escape me!”
Xiao Yufan knew that no matter how hard Liu Hua struggled, she could not escape the arrangement of the Liu family. That was her destiny, and even he felt a little pity for this woman.
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s domineering words, Liu Hua gave a cold snort, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Just at that moment, Xiao Yufan noticed a man walking toward him, and at the same time, Liu Hua’s expression subtly changed…
