Ji Shuwan ran for her life and did everything she could to hide, but after all the twists and turns, she was still circling in the palm of this man’s hand. Everyone told her she wasn’t worthy. She kept their words close to heart and never brought it up. When it came to her little one, she could only make up nonsense.
“Mommy! Where did Daddy go?”
“Your daddy’s pretty amazing. He rode a gas canister into the sky.”
“Mommy! Then who was that man who had you pinned in the corner?”
“Someone… unimportant.”
“Unimportant to you, but what about in your heart? Hmm?”
The man trapped her in his embrace. This little woman had always loved to run away. But that was all right. He didn’t mind. Even if she ran to the ends of the earth, he would chase her there and bring her back. Whether alive or dead, Gu Zhiling would never let Ji Shuwan go again. She was his weakness, his Achilles’ heel.
