She stood stunned in place, her gaze vacant.
Seeing this, Yun Lang let out a sigh of relief.
"Yao'er, you are still young, and your future path is long. You must cherish your life!" Yun Lang said to Xuanyuan Ziyao again.
"You don't love me, do you?" Xuanyuan Ziyao suddenly looked up, gazing at Yun Lang, her pretty face streaked with tears, her eyes filled with despair.
Yun Lang's lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.
Xuanyuan Ziyao snorted coldly, turned, and ran out.
Yun Lang watched helplessly as Xuanyuan Ziyao fled from his sight, his heart twisting like a knife.
He truly wanted to chase after her, but he couldn't.
He knew his own strength; he couldn't possibly catch up to Xuanyuan Ziyao.
Yun Lang sighed.
His figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
His figure vanished into the night jungle, and Xuanyuan Ziyao was completely unaware.
"Young Master, you cannot enter. the Grand Madam is furious. If you barge in again, you will only further enrage her!" The guards at the entrance of the Xuanyuan residence blocked him.
"Get lost!" Yun Lang said coldly.
"Young Master, please do not make things difficult for this servant." The guard still refused to back down.
"Bang!"
Yun Lang suddenly kicked the guard in the chest.
The guard was sent flying over ten meters away.
He fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face incredibly pale.
"Get lost!" Yun Lang spat out these three words cruelly and headed into the mansion.
"You dare injure a guard!" When the Old Madam Xuanyuan saw her guard seriously injured by Yun Lang, she became furious.
Yun Lang completely ignored the Old Madam and walked straight inside.
"Stop! Who gave you permission to enter!" The Old Madam Xuanyuan saw Yun Lang disregard her completely, her anger instantly flaring, and she shouted at him.
Yun Lang stopped and turned to face the Old Madam Xuanyuan. "I've come to see my sister-in-law."
Yun Lang's statement nearly made the Old Madam Xuanyuan faint from anger.
Who was Xuanyuan Ziyao?
How could such a lowly person be worthy of being their grandson's wife?
Yun Lang's words had completely enraged the Old Madam Xuanyuan.
"Big Brother!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ziyao's anger exploded. She let out a loud cry and charged towards Yun Lang.
Yun Lang kicked Xuanyuan Ziyao in the stomach.
Xuanyuan Ziyao was sent flying, hitting a tree with a crisp cracking sound.
"Yao'er, I beg you, please give up on Big Brother. Don't do these foolish things anymore!" Yun Lang said with heartache.
A deep look of reluctance flowed from Yun Lang's eyes.
This woman had been his playmate since childhood!
He had once sworn to protect her for his entire life, but he couldn't. He truly couldn't protect her!
Xuanyuan Ziyao felt as if her internal organs had shifted, the pain almost suffocating her.
She slowly sat up, gazing at Yun Lang with venom in her eyes.
Why? Why couldn't the person she loved be Yun Lang?
Why did she have to be siblings with this fool?
"You ungrateful wretch!" Xuanyuan Ziyao pointed at Yun Lang and cursed.
"Yao'er, hurry and leave! You are not suitable for me, and I am not worthy of you." Yun Lang closed his eyes in pain. "Believe me, I am not the only man in this world."
Yun Lang's words deeply stimulated Xuanyuan Ziyao.
"Are you saying you like another girl?" Xuanyuan Ziyao questioned hatefully.
"Yes!" Yun Lang replied with conviction. "You cannot marry me; you can only choose someone else."
"Are you afraid that after I die, no one will take care of you, so you are deliberately lying that you like that little vixen! Is that it?" Xuanyuan Ziyao asked angrily.
"I..." Yun Lang wanted to refute, but he had no grounds to do so.
"You are truly a scoundrel!" Xuanyuan Ziyao cursed. Then, a tragically beautiful smile appeared on her face. "Big Brother, I understand. I will bless you both. I will no longer pester you."
After speaking, Xuanyuan Ziyao staggered and ran forward.
She did not wish to remain in this place, nor did she want to continue entangled with Yun Lang.
Xuanyuan Ziyao's tears streamed down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground.
She had possessed extraordinary talent since childhood and was exceptionally beautiful, yet she had not obtained what she desired.
She was unwilling, and she refused to concede.
"I will definitely make you pay the price." Xuanyuan Ziyao gritted her teeth.
Xuanyuan Ziyao secretly vowed in her heart that she would kill Xuanyuan Ziyao.
She wanted Xuanyuan Ziyao to know that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, the one and only existence.
"You bunch of fools, why aren't you stopping this scoundrel!" The Old Madam Xuanyuan shouted when she saw Xuanyuan Ziyao just run off.
A group of guards finally reacted.
They quickly pursued her.
Xuanyuan Residence.
"Grand Madam, Grand Madam!" A servant stumbled into the main hall.
"What's with the panic?" The Old Madam asked displeased when she saw a servant rushing in flustered.
"Old Madam, something terrible has happened! The Young Master broke into the Grand Madam's chambers, pushed her onto the bed, and injured the guards in the mansion!" the servant said, panting.
"What! This beast, he is utterly unfilial!" The Old Madam Xuanyuan was furious upon hearing this and immediately gave orders, "Guards, issue a decree! All guards and archers in the mansion are to be deployed immediately. We must capture this rebellious son!"
Hearing the Old Madam's words, Xuanyuan Ziyao was completely stunned.
"Grandmother, what did you say?" Xuanyuan Ziyao asked again, uncertainly.
"I said, you useless lot, capture Yun Lang! Capture him!" the Old Madam roared.
"Yes!" The servant replied respectfully.
"There's no need to go. He's already run off." Xuanyuan Ziyao shook her head in disappointment after hearing the Old Madam's words. "I expected this outcome long ago. Why did you have to do this, Grandmother? He doesn't belong to me anyway."
"Yao'er, you absolutely cannot blame Grandmother for this matter! Grandmother was so angered by that unfilial son that she acted so foolishly," the Old Madam reasoned earnestly. "Don't you think, if you don't marry Yun Lang, then is there any other man in this world worthy of you?"
"I don't care if he is worthy of me or not; I only want Big Brother!" Xuanyuan Ziyao's attitude was firm. "I don't care who he marries; I will marry Big Brother. Grandmother, please don't worry about it."
"Yao'er, why are you doing this to yourself?" The Old Madam frowned deeply. "There is no future between you and Yun Lang. Stubbornness like this will only delay you."
"No, I love him. I can't wait a moment longer!" Xuanyuan Ziyao's face was pale, her eyes filled with malice.
"Yao'er, Grandmother cannot bear to see you suffer. If you truly love Yun Lang, why don't you consider your father's proposal?" the Old Madam tentatively said.
"Your father's proposal? What proposal?" Xuanyuan Ziyao asked curiously.
"The proposal of marriage to you," the Old Madam said. "Your father said that if you truly marry Yun Lang, you will undoubtedly be able to bring more heirs to the Yun family in the future!"
"My father actually asked you to help him like this?" Xuanyuan Ziyao couldn't help but sneer.
"No! He is not only helping me but also helping Yun Lang!" Xuanyuan Ziyao shook her head.
