She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

Chapter 20
The man's words almost jumped out from between his teeth, with a hatred that gnashed his teeth, and he stared at the woman in front of him with red eyes.

Meng Xia's wrist was almost crushed by him. She frowned but did not struggle. Every word Huo Xibai said hit her chest hard, making her breathless.

She opened her mouth to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck with stones. Suddenly she couldn't say anything. She could only lower her eyes, not daring to look into Huo Xibai's eyes.

It wasn't that she wasn't aware of Huo Xibai's attachment to her, but such straightforward and passionate emotions made her inexplicably scared. She couldn't bear it, and she didn't dare to bear it.

But Huo Xibai grabbed her hand hard and stared at her stubbornly, as if he would not give up until he got an answer from her mouth.

After a while, Meng Xia sighed and said helplessly, "Huo Xibai, I have nothing to explain. The fact is as you can see, I lied to you. There is no reason."

"What I said to Song Zhihuai just now is the same for you. I have said everything that needs to be said. I will finish it here. You don't have to be too persistent. Isn't it good for everyone to be well?"

"Everyone okay?"

Huo Xibai sneered, but the indifference on his face couldn't match the disappointment in his eyes, "So I've been waiting for five years, and I just want you to tell me that we'll be fine?"

"..."

Meng Xia didn't speak, biting her lower lip secretly, but suddenly Huo Xibai pinched her chin hard, forcing her to look up at him——

"Meng Xia, when you first provoked me, you should have thought that you and I are inseparable. The person I, Huo Xibai, like, must have my name engraved on it even if he dies."

"So you'd better be obedient and suffer less punishment, otherwise..."

"I don't know what I will do."

Every time Huo Xibai said another word, he would pat her face lightly, not hard, but with a hint of insult and teasing.

Meng Xia couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously wanted to turn away to avoid it, but his other hand grabbed his chin forcefully, so he could only suffer in silence.

Especially when she caught a glimpse of the crazy look in Huo Xibai's eyes, she really didn't dare to resist.

As a result, Meng Xia was almost forced into the car by Huo Xibai, and then taken back to his apartment -

Unlike Meng Xia's small room of about ten square feet, Huo Xibai's apartment was very spacious, and any bathroom was more luxurious than her room.

It wasn't until she was dragged into the bedroom that she suddenly reacted and struggled hard against the door frame, "What are you doing? Why did you bring me here? Let me go, I want to go home..."

Before she could even finish her words, she was forcefully thrown onto the bed. Before she could react, the man's strong body was already pressing up against her, and his strong chest was pressed tightly against her——

"Go home? Which home do you want to go back to? This will be your home from now on! Where I am is your home!"

The man's lips were almost talking to her ear. When the heat fell on her ear and neck, the familiar fear suddenly surged into her heart——

Meng Xia tensed up almost instantly, his mind went blank, his eyes lost focus, and he stared blankly at the ceiling above his head——

The crystal lamp above the head seemed to be spinning, flashing, and dancing, and then with a "pop" sound, it fell into endless darkness...

"Meng Xia? Meng Xia!"

At the last second before losing consciousness, she seemed to hear the man's anxious voice ringing in her ears——
