Chapter 255: Let go of me

Tang Xiaowei retracted her hand. She actually saw that when she pushed him away, it was as if she had pushed him in the chest. He seemed to be in so much pain that his face turned even paler.

She bit her lips in pain, and her heart began to throb.

She could no longer care about whether she was hungry or not. At that moment, she only wanted to avoid him.

She suddenly ran towards the door.

Huangfu Qiye immediately knew what she wanted to do when he saw her like this.

He hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand.

His tone was filled with pain. "Why did you run away? Do you still think that I'm the one who poisoned you?"

Tang Xiaowei stood where she was. Her hand was grabbed by him, and her back was facing him.

She bit her lip so hard that it almost bled.

"What's wrong? Is it hard to answer this question?" Huangfu Qiye came forward and stood in front of her. He reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

When their eyes met, she could see that he was in pain and suffering.

And she was also filled with pain.

She reached out with her other hand, wanting to pull his hand that had raised her chin. But just as she touched his hand, he held it.

He asked her domineeringly, "Tell me, what do you think now?"

"Let me go first." She finally spoke. Because she was enduring the pain in her heart, her tone was still calm.

"I can let you go, but you can't run anymore, can you?" He did not dare to let go, his gaze glued to her body.

She could only nod. "Yes."

Only then did Huangfu Qiye carefully let go of her, as if he was afraid of damaging some fragile object.

Tang Xiaowei thought that since she felt that she couldn't return to his side at this moment, she had to make it clear to him.

Otherwise, if he continued to pester her like this, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

So, she took a deep breath and looked at him again.

"I'm willing to believe Yuyan, and I'm also willing to watch that surveillance video. So, I won't misunderstand you again, and I won't hate you anymore." Speaking up to this point, she paused and secretly pinched her palm, forcefully suppressing the pain in her heart. Then, she continued, "But, I really can't return to your side. Don't come looking for me again in the future."

"Why? Since you don't misunderstand me any more, why don't you want to return to my side?" After hearing her words, Huangfu Qiye widened his eyes in pain and clenched his fists.

"I don't want to be in a relationship anymore; do you understand?" She tried to make her tone calm.

"You don't want to be in a relationship anymore?" He was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled. "Then let's not be in a relationship. Let's just get married, okay?"

Her head hurt even more when she heard that.

The reason why she said she didn't want to fall in love was because she really didn't want to be with anyone right now.

She only wanted to be alone. She didn't want to be with anyone else.

Marriage was similar to falling in love. Both of them involved being with someone else.

She didn't have the courage to accept anyone else, including him.

"Not good. " She shook her head. "What I mean is that I don't want to talk about love anymore. I don't want to fall in love, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to be with anyone either. I just want to be alone in peace."

Huangfu Qiye thought that since she said that she didn't want to fall in love, she wouldn't reject him if he said that she could get married.

However, after hearing her explanation, he froze in place.

She didn't want to fall in love, she didn't want to get married, she didn't want to be with anyone, and she just wanted to be alone. What did she mean by that?

Tang Xiaowei saw that he was in a daze, so she didn't stay any longer.

She immediately turned around, opened the kitchen door, and walked out.

Huangfu Qiye reacted and hurriedly chased after her.

However, hearing the sound of him chasing after her, she quickly ran into the elevator.

When he ran over, the elevator door was already closed. He could only see her in the elevator. He reached out his hand, but it was already too late. There was no way to stop the elevator door from closing.

He could only watch as the elevator door closed tightly.

But he didn't get the answer he wanted. How could he give up?

Huangfu Qiye turned around and ran straight up the stairs.

There were elevators and stairs in the castle. It was just that the elevator was faster and more labor-saving, so everyone usually took the elevator.

After Tang Xiaowei ran into the elevator, she hurriedly pressed the button to close the door.

When she saw that Huangfu Qiye could no longer stop her when he ran over, she heaved a sigh of relief.

After she heaved a sigh of relief, she felt a cold sensation on her face. She reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be tears.

Only then did she realize that she did not know she was crying.

Because no one could see her here, let alone him, she did not wipe away her tears. Instead, she allowed them to continue flowing.

She really did not want to fall in love anymore.

However, she didn't know why her heart hurt so much even though she wanted to avoid him?

However, she really didn't have the courage to love anyone anymore, especially him.

She didn't dare to love anyone anymore.

The elevator soon reached the fifth floor.

After the elevator door opened, she walked out in a daze.

However, she never expected that Huangfu Qiye, who should have failed to catch up to her on the first floor and was injured, was now panting and standing at the elevator door.

From his expression, it was obvious that he had rushed up after she had entered the elevator.

She could even see that the bandage on his chest was stained with fresh blood. He must have run too fast and pulled on his wound.

Her heart ached again, and tears started to flow out of her eyes.

She hurriedly lowered her head and used her sleeve to wipe her tears.

"Tang Xiaowei, why are you going to torture me instead of agreeing to return to my side?" Huangfu Qiye was panting so hard that he did not see her crying. He questioned her angrily and wanted to hug her. However, he was afraid that the blood on his body would stain her clothes, so he had no choice but to endure it.

Tang Xiaowei quickly wiped away her tears and raised her head to look at him.

She could not help but sob. "I said that I don't want to be with anyone right now. Don't you understand?"

"I don't agree. I want you to be with me right now." Huangfu Qiye reached out and forcefully grabbed one of her hands.

Tang Xiaowei was about to break down.

She wanted to shake off his hand. "Let go of me."

"No, if you don't agree to come back to me, I won't let go of you even if I die. You know I'm a man of my word!" Huangfu Qiye knew that if he wasn't forceful now, he would definitely lose her.

What she said just now was really too strange. It was completely out of his expectations.

He couldn't accept her rejecting love like this.

If she was unwilling to accept love for the rest of her life, it would be the same as not accepting him. How could he not be anxious?

"Can you not be so childish?" Tang Xiaowei was angry and yelled at him, "I don't love you anymore. I don't love anyone. Is it meaningful for you to pester me like this?"
