He Ting naturally knew that An Ke wasn't someone who would easily forgive others, but he had been looking for her for three years.
Everyone else said she was dead, but as long as he hadn't found her body, he believed she was still alive.
Finally, he had waited for her to come back. How could he possibly let her go again?
Feeling the grip on her wrist tightening, An Ke only felt a sharp pain in her heart. And what hurt even more than her heart was the back of her head; the pain was excruciating.
"Let go!" she said weakly.
"Tell me, how can you stop being angry with me? Should I die once too? Or let a rock hit me?"
"Can you stop being so childish?" An Ke felt her head ache even more and frowned. "He Ting, since the moment you told me to die, our relationship has ceased to exist."
He Ting's eyes darkened. His pursed lips looked a bit aggrieved. "An'an, whether it exists or not is not up to you. The fact that we got married and haven't divorced is the truth. So, you're still my wife!"
"You... you..." An Ke pointed at He Ting, wanting to say something to refute him, but the pain in the back of her head grew stronger. Finally, her vision darkened and she fainted.
He Ting caught her weak body and told Doctor Chen to arrange the surgery as quickly as possible.
Now that she had regained her memory, he no longer had to worry about whether she would remember the past. An Ke's life was the most important thing.
An Ke was trapped in a nightmare. But why was everything so clear even though it was just a dream?
"He Ting, why?"
An Ke looked at the man standing behind her. Her shocked eyes were filled with deep pain.
She couldn't believe that the man who had once warmed her with his body, the man who had promised to be good to her for a lifetime, and even the man who had made a wish with her to meet in the afterlife by being turtles together, had actually lured her to the perilous Yunshan and used her to draw out "the Priest".
"Why? Tell me, why?" An Ke kept asking. She told herself that she would believe whatever He Ting said. He was the man she was going to spend her life with, and she had to believe him.
But it seemed that this man didn't even bother to lie to her. His once gentle and handsome face now wore a cold and heartless expression. His tone was calm. "You should ask yourself. If I hadn't struck first, would you have already taken action?"
What was he talking about?
Just as she was about to defend herself, "the Priest" who was standing not far away spoke up.
"He Ting, I did plan to use An Ke to bait you. My goddaughter is so useless that she fell in love with you and even wanted to break with me for you. If it weren't for her feelings for you, I would have gotten rid of you long ago. You've lived until now thanks to An Ke."
"Stop talking!" An Ke covered her ears. Her heart ached terribly. If she could choose, she really wanted to be born into an ordinary family and fall in love with He Ting as an ordinary person, instead of having such a disgraceful beginning.
However, although their beginning wasn't beautiful, she had always been working hard towards a beautiful ending.
"He Ting, listen to my explanation. I can explain everything here." She turned around and walked towards him step by step, but He Ting suddenly took out his gun and fired a series of shots at the ground in front of her.
"If you don't want to be riddled with bullets, stay where you are! An Ke, I hate being deceived the most, and you..." He Ting glared at her hatefully. She had not only taken his body but also his heart. This woman was so bad!
So, he didn't mind using her to draw out "the Priest" and wipe them all out.
"Didn't you say we wouldn't quarrel and would be good to each other from now on? He Ting, calm down. Let's go home and talk, okay?"
When had An Ke, known as the iron - blooded agent, ever been like this? She must have loved He Ting so much that she would cry regardless of others' presence and even coax him humbly.
Others were touched, not to mention He Ting. Just as He Ting was about to put down his gun, someone suddenly shot at the safety lock of the bomb. There was a series of explosions, and countless rocks rolled down from the mountaintop...
An Ke in her sleep seemed to be frightened. She kept shaking her head, and cold sweat quickly soaked her long hair. He Ting quickly hugged her body to prevent excessive shaking from tearing the wound on the back of her head. At the same time, he gently patted her trembling shoulder and coaxed her like a child. "An'an, don't be afraid. I'm here. With me around, you don't have to be afraid of anything. I'll protect you and love you. By my side, you're not Agent An Ke. You're my Mrs. He."
An Ke remained highly sensitive even when she was asleep. She felt a puff of warm breath on her nose. She tried to open her eyes and saw He Ting's extremely magnified handsome face.
"Why are you so close to me?" An Ke was very calm, with no trace of emotion in her eyes.
She found that three years later, she was no longer attracted to He Ting. Even if she had any feelings, they were only hatred!
Seeing her looking at him like an enemy, He Ting felt a pang in his heart. He slowly raised his head. "You had a nightmare just now. I hugged you so you would feel more secure."
"Oh?" An Ke couldn't help but curl her lips coldly and slowly moved out of He Ting's embrace. "Why do I feel like I've fallen into the mouth of a wolf?" And it was a lecherous wolf.
It was the second day after An Ke's surgery. She was so weak that she couldn't do anything, so she could only say something to vent her anger.
He Ting chuckled. Even though he saw the estrangement and disgust in her eyes, he still sat beside her without moving. He suddenly felt that just quietly looking at her was a kind of enjoyment.
"An'an, I've missed you every moment for these three years. I missed you so much."
An Ke raised her eyebrows and suddenly took a deep breath. "He Ting, I was just using you back then. Approaching you was my mission. If it weren't for what you had, do you think I would have wanted to approach you, a cold - blooded monster? In fact, I'm really tired of you. You're self - righteous and unromantic. No woman would like you!"
After a pause, An Ke continued. "He Ting, I used you, and you used me. We're even. So, I take back what I said before. I don't forgive you or not because I also deceived you!"
In the end, her anger towards him wasn't because he had brought her into danger, but because her self - assumed love had finally become a sharp sword stabbing herself!
So, she didn't hate him anymore. Since she didn't hate him, there was no point in talking about forgiveness.
"What do you want to say?" The man propped his elbows on his knees and rested his chin on his hand as he looked at her. "You usually have a follow - up move when you talk a lot."
He really knew her well.
"Let's get a divorce! Let's give each other a way out!"
The man lowered his eyelids. It was impossible for him not to feel pain, but even if he was in extreme pain, he wouldn't show it in front of An Ke. Because the strategy of feigning weakness couldn't move her. This woman was just so heartless.
"My way out is you, An Ke. If we get divorced, I'll completely lose you. So, I'd rather you shoot me dead than get divorced!"
"You..."
"Your head has just had surgery. Maybe you're not thinking clearly. Otherwise, you wouldn't give up a man as excellent as me. I'll give you time to think. You should rest first. We won't talk about this... well, ever again!"
