The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1440 - 1452: Peril (6)

Jian Anning was trembling all over like a leaf in the wind! She knew that someone like Situ Xuan, calm and rational, always thought out his strategies first—while enjoying her recent concession, he had, without hesitation, cut off all her escape routes! She gritted her teeth and said, "William, don’t do anything illegal! If you dare today... once I get out, I won’t let you off!"

"Is that so?" Situ Xuan’s voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, drifted past the back of her head. "If I insist on treating you this way... what can you do?"

"William!" Jian Anning said, enunciating each word, with a mix of shame and pleading in her voice, "I admit I made some mistakes before, but I never intended to hurt you! If today... what then? Do you think, because of this, Zexiao and I will split up?"

"How will you know if we don’t try?" Situ Xuan’s voice was somewhat vague, tightening his grip on her arm. "I know Yu Zexiao is a germaphobe. He wouldn’t accept a woman sullied by someone else... If something happens between us today, what do you think he’ll do?"

"He’d rather kill you than give me up!" Jian Anning’s tone gradually became firm, "Even if you do something today... even if Zexiao can’t accept me like this, we might eventually part ways, but I will never accept you! Not only that, I will use legal means and all possible ways to seek justice!"

"I didn’t originally want this..." His voice was a bit ethereal, like it was floating in the air.

He felt a bit wistful, realizing that even now, her resolve remained so steadfast! She knew how to lower her posture when soft, and not to budge an inch when firm. Even when facing such a predicament, she remained unfazed.

The more excellent she was, the more he admired her... and the less he wanted to let her go!

After all, he had already prepared for both situations, and even if the current situation was commanded, he could take the final route!

He suddenly lowered his head, smiling fully: "But, as you say it, I find it quite reasonable."

"What are you saying?" Jian Anning didn’t quite understand what he meant, but vaguely, she felt it wasn’t a good thought, and looked at him with instant dread.

"If it’s just for today, once you escape, of course you can sue me." Situ Xuan said leisurely, his fingers slowly wandering from her cheek, to the corner of her lips, then to her chin, and slowly downward...

"...But if I keep you by my side until you have my child, and then let you go?"

"You’re talking nonsense! How could you? Are you saying you..." She couldn’t believe it! Did he still think this was the olden days? Could he hold her until then?

If this were in the United States, maybe, but here in Huaxia Country!

Huaxia Country is not his main battlefield either! How could he say he would take someone away and do it? Not to mention, imprison her?

Suddenly, she thought of the Cheng siblings, and their fear of Situ Xuan!

By now, she definitely knew that Situ Xuan had connections with the Cheng siblings! But the problem was, she knew too well what kind of family the Chengs were; bullying the weak and fearing the strong! If even the Chengs bowed to Situ Xuan...
