He wanted her, no matter how much she refused or resisted, he was determined to have her.
Life is short, only a few decades.
What else is there to pursue but a few pieces of silver?
But as the successor of Qin Group, he lacked neither money nor power, and certainly not women. In his perfect and flawless life, the only thing he truly lacked was a wife.
He could find a beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous woman to continue the family line, but a wife…
She had to be to his own liking.
Qin Yunxi could have Gu Shinian give birth to a Qin family child, but he never thought of marrying her, unless that person was Grace.
A woman he wanted to marry couldn't be let go just because of a moment of anger, could she?
Qin Yunxi didn't want to reach the end of his life with his only regret being that he missed Grace.
"I don't want you!"
"Qin Yunxi, I don't want you! I don't want you at all!"
"How dare you impose your will on me?"
The man's domineering words forcefully entered Grace's ears through the air, making her skin crawl and her back prickle.
"Let go... stay away from me... I..." she struggled against him, resisting,
Whenever he got close, she felt uncomfortable all over, itchy and distressed.
"I know you don't like me," Qin Yunxi said frankly, allowing the woman's hands and feet to lash out at him. "Even if you hate me, despise me, or are annoyed by me, I won't let go."
Grace's heart grew increasingly agitated, and she finally couldn't help but curse, "Qin Yunxi, you're sick!"
If you're sick, go to the hospital for treatment, don't bother me.
"Yes, I'm sick," the certain Mr. Qin admitted generously, "but you're the only one who can cure this illness."
Seeing the woman's resistance grow and her face turn paler, he loosened his grip, but his hands still held her shoulders.
"Grace, if you want to get rid of me, either be with me, and after I've had you and found you uninteresting, I'll release you from this obsession."
"Or, obediently accept my pursuit, and we'll just drag this out."
"Let's see who compromises first."
Grace's pupils widened in shock; she was disgusted by the man's shameless face.
Why should she sacrifice herself for his desires?
What did he mean by "having her" and then letting her go if he found her uninteresting?
Qin Yunxi, could you be any more shameless?!
"Heh—"
Grace scoffed and was about to curse when Qin Yunxi withdrew his hands. "Do you want to have a relationship with me, or drag this out? Think about it carefully."
Grace: "No need to think! I choose neither!"
Qin Yunxi shook his head and said indifferently, "Don't rush to answer me."
With that, he left.
He walked away with a step that seemed both relieved and joyful, disappearing into the darkness.
Leaving behind a slender woman, disheveled in the evening breeze.
"Qin Yunxi, don't be so conceited! I won't—"
Grace wanted to yell at his retreating figure, to refuse him sternly, but her words turned over and over in her heart, yet she couldn't bring herself to say them.
Angrily, she let out a heavy "hmph" and turned to leave.
But her heart, at this moment, stirred with an unsettling ripple.
She…
Qin Yunxi must have a disease called "masochism," and it was a severe, incurable kind.
He just wouldn't leave, no matter how much she tried to drive him away.
╥﹏╥
She must have done something incredibly wicked in her past life to encounter such a stubborn, obsessive, and arrogant man in this one.
