Chapter 917: Chapter 148: Love That Eats Into the Bones

The more he spoke like this, the faster Tang Yige’s heart beat.

Looking at Rong Sinan with panic, water sparkled slowly in her eyes, cheeks trembling as she turned away, "I don’t love you."

"Yiyi, your mouth can lie, but your heart cannot. I know you still love me. Otherwise, your heart wouldn’t be beating so fast!"

Rong Sinan urgently cupped Tang Yige’s cheeks, breathing heavily.

"... My heart is racing because you are too close, and I’m not used to it." Tang Yige stubbornly held on.

The love she once could announce freely had now become the truth she avoided confessing, afraid to utter it aloud.

Tang Yige found that the carefree self she once was had changed.

Become cowardly, hesitant, fearful...

"Still lying."

Rong Sinan urgently pinched Tang Yige’s chin again, his brows knitted tightly with impatience.

His gaze was intense as he stared at Yige, "Yiyi, you can’t deceive your heart, nor anyone else."

Tang Yige closed her eyes and gasped.

As if thousands of strands were tangled in her mind, she desperately tried to unravel the mess but couldn’t find a clue.

"Yiyi, I can’t give up." Rong Sinan’s other hand tightly clasped the back of Tang Yige’s neck, grinding his forehead and nose against hers, his voice mixed with pain and torment, said hoarsely.

"Rong Sinan..." Tang Yige opened her eyes weakly, her eyelids red, looking at the tense handsome face before her, "After going through so much, don’t you feel tired?"

Rong Sinan’s back shook slightly, his bloodshot eyes staring at Tang Yige, "Because of you, because of hope, no matter how exhausted, it’s worth it, I can bear it."

Because of you, because of hope.

Tang Yige’s eyes were blurred with tears, her lips dry from restraint, "I’m very tired now, do you know? I need time to rest, to calm down."

"Listen, Yiyi, I’m not forcing you to accept me right away, to be with me. I just hope you don’t keep pushing me far away." Rong Sinan said emotionally.

Tang Yige looked at him, her eyes growing redder, "I don’t know, I don’t know how to face it."

"You don’t need to face anything, I’ll handle everything." Rong Sinan slowly relaxed his grip on Yige’s neck, instead gently massaging it.

"My body is not well, maybe I can’t be with you for long." Tang Yige suddenly reached out to touch Rong Sinan’s face, tears spilling from the corner of her eyes, she gazed tearfully at him, choking back her words.

Rong Sinan’s eyes brimmed with restrained tears, unable to hold back because of Yige’s words, spilling over, his voice hoarse, "Your lifetime is my lifetime."

Tang Yige’s throat trembled with difficulty, gently wiping the tears from Rong Sinan’s eyes, "But I don’t wish for this. Brother, I truly hope you can find a healthy girl and live a peaceful, happy life." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Without you, I’d rather die." Rong Sinan tightly gripped Tang Yige’s hand that was touching his face.

Tang Yige’s tears surged, crystal drops flowing from her eyes, her voice soaked with grief, "Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

"It’s all my fault." Rong Sinan, eyes red, looked at Tang Yige, softly said.

That day, Tang Yige didn’t give Rong Sinan an answer, but her attitude towards him softened a bit.

No longer like before, where seeing him was like a hedgehog ready to prick him.

Rong Sinan stayed for dinner.

Tang Yige thought he would find a way to stay, but unexpectedly, shortly after eating, he proposed to leave.

Tang Yige looked at him in slight surprise but didn’t speak.

Rong Sinan tousled Rong Rui’s hair, stood up from the sofa, and said to Tang Yige, "I have something to tell you."

"...What?" Tang Yige asked in confusion.

Rong Sinan stared at her, his expression overly serious, "Let’s talk outside."

Outside?

Tang Yige frowned.

Rong Sinan didn’t explain much, striding towards the door.

Tang Yige sat on the sofa for a few seconds before getting up to follow.

Rong Rui squinted at Tang Yige and Rong Sinan with annoyance, wondering why they couldn’t talk in the living room and had to go outside, what a bother!

Tang Yige walked to the door, leaving it slightly ajar, intending to return after he finished speaking.

The door faced the elevator, Tang Yige stood behind Rong Sinan, watching him press the elevator button.

"Didn’t you have something to say?"

Tang Yige asked, looking at Rong Sinan’s back.

"Hmm." Rong Sinan didn’t turn around.

"What is it?"

"Let’s talk downstairs, it’s inconvenient here."

Finally, Rong Sinan turned to glance at Tang Yige.

Tang Yige, "..." What on earth does he have to say that’s so mysterious? And they’re already at the door, just the two of them, what’s inconvenient?

Seeing Tang Yige’s slightly furrowed brows, Rong Sinan could easily guess what was running through Yige’s mind.

His light-colored lips curled slightly, and without a word, when the elevator opened in front of him, he suddenly reached back, grabbed one of Tang Yige’s hands, and pulled her into the elevator.

Then quickly pressed the elevator close button.

The elevator soon closed in front of the two.

Tang Yige’s heart slightly skipped, hesitantly looking at Rong Sinan.

What exactly does he want to say?

Rong Sinan just tightly held her hand and said nothing.

In less than ten seconds, the elevator reached the lower floor.

As soon as the elevator opened, Rong Sinan led Tang Yige out.

Tang Yige looked at him, full of doubt.

Walking to the parking area beside his car, Rong Sinan led Tang Yige straight to the back seat, opened the car door, his clear eyes glided with a few strands of darkness, though the lighting in the parking area was dim, Tang Yige didn’t notice.

"Get in." Rong Sinan said hoarsely.

Tang Yige stood at the car door, staring at Rong Sinan strangely, "Rong Sinan, what exactly do you want to say?"

Rong Sinan reached out and pinched her cheek, pulled a smile, "Get inside first."

Tang Yige lightly bit her lip, feeling a bit hesitant.

Rong Sinan then tugged at Tang Yige’s arm toward the car.

"..." Tang Yige muttered, hurriedly said, "I’ll get in myself."

Rong Sinan raised his eyebrows and then let go.

Watching Tang Yige sit inside, moving to the seat by the window, Rong Sinan squinted, bending down to get in.

Bang.

The car door closed tightly.

The moment the car door closed.

Tang Yige’s heart fluttered.

The space inside the car was still quite spacious.

But for some reason, Tang Yige just felt it was narrow, even the air inside the car seemed insufficient.

Moreover, she realized she couldn’t bring herself to look at the person beside her.

The hand near that person was suddenly enveloped in warmth.

Tang Yige’s heart slightly thumped, instinctively wanting to pull out.

But failed.

At the moment she attempted to withdraw, that person suddenly exerted a bit of force.

Tang Yige felt like a rattle drum suddenly placed in her chest, shaking intensively in her heart.

"Yiyi."

Rong Sinan leaned closer, his breath hot and heavy at Tang Yige’s ear and cheek.

Tang Yige nervously turned to one side, voice trembling, "Just say whatever you want."

"Look at me, then I’ll say it." Rong Sinan rested his chin on Tang Yige’s shoulder, his breath repeatedly brushing against Tang Yige’s neck.

Tang Yige felt as if ants were crawling over her skin, itchy, causing noticeable goosebumps to rise on her neck.

"You, if you don’t say it, I’m getting off." Tang Yige said, reaching her other hand to open the car door.

Yet.

Before her hand could extend out, her body was suddenly spun around.

Tang Yige gasped with surprise, staring wide-eyed at the dark-featured face of the man before her.

Rong Sinan used his palm to lift Yige’s chin, his gaze, flickering with sparks, swept over Yige’s lips.

Tang Yige’s heart raced as if it wasn’t her own, uncontrollably.

"I love you."

Rong Sinan said.

Tang Yige’s eyelashes suddenly fluttered, and immediately, his fiery lips swiftly pressed down with overwhelming force.

Hmm...

Tang Yige’s heart throbbed intensely, straining up to her throat.

Her head tilted back high, while Rong Sinan kissed her with an undeniably dominant posture.

"Rong Sinan..."

Tang Yige anxiously clenched the fabric at his chest, tugging hard.

Rong Sinan chuckled lowly against her lips, "Pull harder, so I won’t have to undress myself later."

"..." Scoundrel!

Tang Yige blushed furiously, the force she exerted on his shirt unconsciously weakened.
