Feng Ran looked at Xuan Yuan Heng, hardly believing that there was any poison in the world that could not be cured, and that one had to kill a person to detoxify.
Xuan Yuan Heng naturally believed that Feng Ran would not believe him, but he thought that if Feng Ran read Feng Jin's letter, she would definitely believe it.
Feng Ran took Xuan Yuan Heng's letter. She didn't even want to look at it. She reached out and was about to tear it up when Xuan Yuan Heng immediately snatched it back. He looked at Feng Ran and almost shouted angrily, "Feng Ran, this is for you to read, not to tear up."
"Read? People are already gone, what's the use of reading a letter?"
"Xuan Yuan Heng, tell me, what's the use?"
"Can my brother come back to life just because I read the letter?"
Xuan Yuan Heng didn't know why Feng Ran would say such a thing without even looking at it.
He looked at Feng Ran and said, "After you read it, you can do whatever you want?"
"Do whatever I want?" Feng Ran repeated Xuan Yuan Heng's words.
Xuan Yuan Heng nodded and said, "Yes, anything."
After a long while, Feng Ran finally said, "Then, can I leave?"
Xuan Yuan Heng hesitated.
Feng Ran smiled, a smile that was even a little desolate. She said sarcastically, "See, I said I wanted to leave, and you hesitated."
"But you just told me I could do whatever I wanted."
"Xuan Yuan Heng, don't say things you can't keep. It will only make me mock you more."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Heng's face suddenly became extremely terrifying.
But Feng Ran, facing Xuan Yuan Heng's expression, was not afraid at all. She continued to look at the person in front of her.
"Fine, I will do as you wish." Xuan Yuan Heng said coldly.
Feng Ran looked at Xuan Yuan Heng in surprise. She truly did not expect Xuan Yuan Heng to agree. It was really too unexpected for her.
Feng Ran took the letter and read it carefully, while Xuan Yuan Heng watched Feng Ran, paying attention to her every move.
When Feng Ran finished reading the letter, her face was full of disbelief, clearly indicating her inner disbelief.
"No, Xuan Yuan Heng, I won't believe it. This letter must have been forged by you."
Upon hearing Feng Ran's words, Xuan Yuan Heng did not offer any further explanation. Instead, he calmly looked at Feng Ran, as if waiting for her to say more.
Feng Ran looked unwillingly at what was happening in front of her.
She hit Xuan Yuan Heng hard with her hand.
Actually, she knew that Xuan Yuan Heng had no reason to deceive her. It was just that in this matter, she was unwilling to admit it.
Perhaps she was timid, or perhaps she didn't want to admit it.
In any case, she had nothing more to say about some things.
Xuan Yuan Heng let Feng Ran hit and scold him. He thought that as long as Feng Ran vented, it would be fine.
But at this moment, Feng Ran stopped her actions. She looked at Xuan Yuan Heng calmly and said, "I have read the letter. Now, can you let me go? Let me leave."
Xuan Yuan Heng looked at Feng Ran. He thought that Feng Ran would choose to stay after reading the letter, but he did not expect her to still choose to leave.
"Feng Ran, you have seen the contents of the letter. Don't you want to stay?"
"Why do you still want to leave?"
Feng Ran looked at Xuan Yuan Heng but did not answer his question. Instead, she continued, "You promised me, you said you could let me go."
Seeing Feng Ran's resolute appearance, Xuan Yuan Heng became completely flustered. He thought that if he really agreed and let her go, then there would be no hope. In this lifetime, Feng Ran would never belong to him again.
Xuan Yuan Heng looked at Feng Ran and said coldly, "No, I won't. I won't let you go. You can forget about escaping from here, you can forget about leaving my side."
"Feng Ran, even if you die, you will be by my side in this life."
Feng Ran looked at Xuan Yuan Heng, "No, you can't do this, you can't treat me like this."
Xuan Yuan Heng, however, laughed, a laugh that was even a little chilling. He said coldly, "Feng Ran, just obediently stay by my side in this life. Don't even think about leaving."
...
A month has passed.
Feng Ran has been confined to her room and has not even had a chance to go out.
And outside her door, Bei Chen Ye has been standing guard.
Bei Chen Ye guarded her diligently, and no one dared to approach.
Naturally, Feng Ran could only be alone now. She could go for several days without saying a word.
Of course, someone still delivered meals daily. If she wanted to go out for some fresh air, she could, but Bei Chen Ye would always be with her.
Feng Ran's whole being was instantly plunged into a state of confusion.
She knew very well that her life was over, and there was no longer any hope.
One day, Xuan Yuan Heng appeared. She quickly averted her gaze. She didn't want her eyes to linger on Xuan Yuan Heng.
She didn't want to pay any attention to Xuan Yuan Heng.
However, upon seeing Xuan Yuan Heng, she still had to bow. Thinking of this, Feng Ran chuckled, mocking herself.
She had always thought she could hold on, but she realized later that it was not the case. She still couldn't hold on.
Xuan Yuan Heng looked at Feng Ran deliberately avoiding him, but he did not get angry. It seemed he had already anticipated this.
His gaze fell on Feng Ran, and his deep voice rang out, "Come here."
Feng Ran remained silent. She didn't want to go over, but she knew clearly that she had to go over even if she didn't want to.
In the end, she still went.
Because Xuan Yuan Heng's gaze was always on her, she could not escape.
For some reason, at this moment, she felt a little moved. Seeing Xuan Yuan Heng waiting for her, such a scene was something she had always longed for. Now that it had come true, she found that she had actually begun to dislike it.
In fact, she was no longer the person she used to be.
However, when she looked up, she met Xuan Yuan Heng's gentle eyes. Feng Ran found herself unable to break free from his gaze.
Her eyes and her heart gradually became confused.
And as she was lost in thought and hesitated, she became somewhat hesitant.
She was even wondering if everything before her was real or fake.
"Feng Ran, in a few days, I'll take you out for a stroll."
Seeing that she locked herself in her room all day, Xuan Yuan Heng felt extremely heartbroken.
If he wasn't afraid of her escaping, he wouldn't have done this.
Xuan Yuan Heng looked at Feng Ran. He tidied the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her, and said earnestly, "Let me tidy it up for you."
Feng Ran wanted to dodge, but found herself unable to avoid it. At this moment, she could only resign herself to her fate.
