Xia Sinian stared at her crying face, her warm tears were falling on his cheeks. Seeing her like this made him feel like someone was squeezing his heart. He stood up from his seat and pulled her against his chest. "I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry, Bingbing."

"T-that's not what I want to hear! Tell me... Tell me, Xia Sinian..." She paused and raised her head to look at his face. "You still love me, right? Right?"

He cupped her cheek gently and bowed his head, giving her forehead a kiss. "Aside from you, who else can I love?"

With those words, Li Bingbing's tears were uncontrollable. She started crying out loud like a small kid. "Don't leave me! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!"

This was the promise that Xia Sinian cannot give her even if he wanted to. He didn't say a word but he hugged her close instead. This was what he feared the most. He has already accepted that he would die soon but with Li Bingbing in his arms, Xia Sinian started wanting to live longer for her... but he knew that this wishful thought of his was impossible.

His tears fell as he kept on holding her close. They can't be together forever but even if it's just for a short time, he wanted to be with her. He wanted to hold her just like this until the end of his days.

They stood there, crying for so long. When they calmed down, Xia Sinian decided to bring Li Bingbing in his suite to stay with him since she told him she was going to live somewhere else.

"Bring me with you." Li Bingbing said the moment she stepped in his place. "You're going to Philadelphia for your medication, right? Take me with you, I want to go with you."

Xia Sinian turned to look at the hands that were intertwined together. "Are you sure that you still want to be with me?"

"I want to be with you for the rest of your life."

Xia Sinian's eyes softened at this. The cold and blank face he was giving her were gone. It was just like back then, he would always give her a soft and gentle look. He leans and kissed her lovingly on her lips.

Lu Xian Yu didn't return to his place that day since he was busy torturing Bai Xiu Ying and Hu Bingxi after he captured them.

They were brought to one of Lu Xian Yu's torture grounds. In the bas.e.m.e.nt prison, the smell of blood was strong and cries of pain were heard.

Some of the cells were filled with wounded and decapitated men. Their eyes filled with fear and anxiety. They were not allowed to die even if they wanted to. Their slow deaths were making them go crazy.

"AHH!!" A man's scream was heard.

"What a p.u.s.s.y. I just removed his nail." A man in a suit sighed. "Others can do better than him."

"Please... please, I'll tell you anything. Let me go." Hu Bingxi begged. His legs were broken and he felt an intolerable pain in his body.

"Continue." Lu Xian Yu said to the man in the black suit.

"What should we do to her, young master?" The man standing beside Lu Xian Yu asked.

"For now, let her watch."

"Lu Xian Yu! My grandfather will not forgive you and your family for doing this!" Bai Xiu Ying wrists and ankles were chained against the wall, her face wet with tears.

A creepy smile appeared on Lu Xian Yu's lips. His eagle-like eyes were staring coldly at her. "You tried to kill my sister-in-law. You need to know the consequence of trying to hurt one of the members of the Lu family."

The way Lu Xian Yu looked at her made Bai Xiu Ying cower in fear. "I-I learned my lesson so please let me go."

"I don't hurt women but my men do." Lu Xian Yu turned away and left the cell. The moment he went out of the bas.e.m.e.nt, his phone vibrated, there was no signal earlier in the bas.e.m.e.nt so the messages from his servants didn't go through earlier.

He looked at the message and his eyes darkened because of it. "So now, she's using my brother against me?" Lu Xian Yu ended up laughing because of this. Li Bingbing was definitely using her brain to go against him. "It looks like I need to get stricter with you, Li Bingbing."

"I think this necktie looks better on you," Xia Meilin said as she showed him the navy blue necktie she was holding.

Lu Yifeng didn't mind whatever necktie she chose as long as she thought that it looked better on him. He placed his hand on her waist, "Can you put it on for me?"

Xia Meilin grinned. "Sure!" She started fixing the necktie around his neck.

By the time she finished tying his necktie, a knock was heard. "Master Lu, your brother is looking for you." The maid announced from outside.

"I think he'll be asking you for Li Bingbing's whereabouts." Xia Meilin said as she handed him his black coat.

"What do you want me to do?" Lu Yifeng asked.
