Throbbing

At the age of twenty-one, Xu Chengyan married with great fanfare, to Xiao Lichuan, a well-known man in Jingcheng. She won this marriage by any means necessary. He thought she had an ulterior motive in marrying him, but he didn't know that she loved him. She loved him so much that she pretended not to see his indifference, and she loved him so much that she was blinded. Even though she always understood that the hands that used to cut people's hearts with knives all year round were just as cold and ruthless as him. * "Xiao Lichuan, you are mine within marriage, and you can only be mine outside marriage!" Xu Chengyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Lichuan, speaking with determination and heartfelt words. She originally thought that as long as he held on to the city, no one else could get in even if he didn't open his heart to her. It was only when Qingmei returned that she realized how ridiculous she was. He had never been hers. * She also tried her best to lock him in by all means, but the price was too high. Later, his childhood sweetheart disappeared, and the man who had always been cold and arrogant suddenly changed his temperament. That day, Xu Chengyan held his neck with a lingering smile: "Xiao Lichuan, why are you so nice to me now? Are you afraid that I will die suddenly?" "I'm afraid your heart will never beat again." She was so immersed in happiness that she didn't notice the flash of pain in the man's eyes. She didn't know that the living heart beating in her chest was purchased with the life of the woman he loved most. * When her mother was critically ill, she finally took off her armor and stood in front of him with her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong. "Please save my mother." "The scalpel can save people, but it can also kill people." His dark eyes were suppressed, and he secretly raised the corners of his lips. "As long as you do the surgery, I promise to divorce you." This sentence took all her life's strength. She seemed to have a serious illness, and her bones were torn apart. * Later, she experienced a lifetime of despair. I still remember that day, it rained heavily in Jingcheng and the water accumulated in a pool. She stood outside the empty gate and shouted his name heartbreakingly: "Xiao Lichuan, Xiao Lichuan." * When the past was gone, he kept recalling what she said in his mind: "You have seen so many heart problems, why can't you understand mine." "But Chengyan, I don't seem to understand even myself."
