"Despicable!" she hissed through clenched teeth.
Tang Shuwen remained expressionless. His usual good temper had no effect on Chen Xueru; he simply needed to achieve his goal.
He didn't care about the means or the process.
He knew exactly where Chen Xueru's weakness lay.
It was the child.
Even if it meant her death, she wouldn't leave her child.
Chen Xueru pulled away from him. It was then she realized that the cruel Tang Shuwen she knew wasn't the true devil; the one forcing her to separate from her child was. How could she ever be separated from her child?
Absolutely not.
"I'm giving you this opportunity now. You make your demands, and as long as they're reasonable, I'll agree. We'll get married, and there will be peace. After all, if you and I go to court, my parents will surely be unhappy, and I don't want them to be. Do you understand?" Tang Shuwen said calmly, certain that Chen Xueru would compromise.
