Water Mirror was shocked and angry, her voice slightly trembling, “Do you think intimidating me will work? Even if I have to spend five, ten, or twenty years in court, I’ll fight you to the end. You make me sick! I don’t want to see your face for a single second!”
“Longji, don’t be like this! Water Mirror, calm down.” A bewildered Lü Peiling hurriedly advised: “Let’s talk about this!”
“It’s useless,” Guan Longji’s voice was as cold as ice, “I’m stating facts.”
Driven to despair, this was his only option.
If begging, pleading, kneeling, or crying would work, he would use the most humble posture and most sincere confession to win back his beloved wife. Now, this was his only choice.
He could only take a desperate gamble.
“What do you want? You madman!” Water Mirror cried out in pain, “I don’t love you! I don’t want to be your wife! I don’t want to be a mother out of nowhere! Isn’t this enough? Why me? Why did this happen to me?!”
“Unless…” A painful expression flashed in Guan Longji’s icy eyes, “a chance.”
The barely audible words made Water Mirror ask, “What?”
“I want a chance, and I’ll give you a chance,” Guan Longji said: “One year.”
“Give me one year,” he slowly revealed his trump card, “If after a year, you still don’t want to maintain this marriage, I’ll unconditionally… set you free.”
“I don’t want that!” Water Mirror exclaimed.
One year? She couldn’t bear a single second!
“Then let’s be entangled for life!” His desperate, bleak, and painful tone carried a crazy determination. “I won’t let go, absolutely not…”
Water Mirror couldn’t help but shiver.
He was a madman!
“How… can I be sure you won’t go back on your word?” Water Mirror clenched her fist.
This man’s extraordinary obsession with her was too terrifying and crazy. She felt like a little rabbit stared down by a poisonous snake, unable to move under its sinister fangs.
“I’m willing to sign an agreement,” Guan Longji slowly said.
In the following days, Water Mirror, forced to compromise, signed a separation agreement with Guan Longji, along with numerous detailed clauses.
