The Most Pitiful Person

This was Lin Chen's last chance for Guo Xiang.

Once she agreed, Guo Xiang would be his woman from then on. He did not want her to regret it later.

"Then... do you love me?"

Guo Xiang did not ask anything else. She went straight to the heart of the matter.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "I do."

There was no explanation or embellishment, just that one firm word. Guo Xiang threw herself into Lin Chen's arms and cried like a child.

She needed no explanation. All she needed was for Lin Chen to admit it. Now that he had bravely done so, it was the greatest gift he could give her.

"From now on, I, Guo Xiang, am your woman. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will never abandon me. Otherwise, I'll hate you. The kind of hate that runs deep."

Guo Xiang said.

Lin Chen nodded. "You and Xue Qing will be the most important women in my life. From tonight onward, I'll protect you both with my life. As long as I'm here, no one will ever bully you."

"However, I have to tell you the truth. I may have to marry Xue Qing first. After all, China doesn't allow a man to marry two women. I promised Xue Qing first, so it's only right that I marry her first. Once my overseas business grows bigger, we can hold a wedding in a country without such restrictions. What do you think?"

Lin Chen told her honestly.

"That isn't important. A wedding is just for show. What matters to me is how you feel about me. If you truly love me, you won't hurt me. That's enough. Nothing else matters."

Guo Xiang saw through it all. Those shackles of formality
