Xia Xiaoxu Is Biased: Book 23

On the day of her graduation trip, Lin Zhi was tricked by her boyfriend into sitting down at a gambling table, where she lost to the most dangerous man in Southeast Asia.

Li Yanzhou, the king of the underworld, was obsessive, violent, and fiercely possessive.

He imprisoned her and hurt her, threatening to kill her entire family.

He told her, “You belong to me. In this life and the next.”

She hated him to the core and did everything she could to escape.

Every time, she came within a hair's breadth of getting away, but he was waiting at the end of her escape route.

Until she became pregnant.

When he saw the two lines on the pregnancy test, he cried in front of her for the first time. She thought it was for the baby. Only later did she learn that he had never understood love. He only knew that he wanted her, so much that he was willing to give up everything, so much that he tried to learn tenderness in the clumsiest way possible.

She realized she no longer hated him. It wasn't forgiveness or surrender. Something was slowly growing in her heart, fiercer than hatred and harder to escape than death.

When schemes and betrayal came one after another, she was pulled back from the brink of death. The first thing she said when she opened her eyes was, “Is the baby still alive?”

At last, he understood: what could keep her with him was never a chain, but her own choice.

From “You can't leave” to “I don't want to leave,” she traveled thousands of kilometers. From “hate” to “love,” he spent a whole year learning.

She folded her wings and settled into his arms.

“Li Yanzhou, let's go home.”
