When she was about to take it off, Xiao Ye quickly grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing!”

The four words in an angry and cold tone instantly pulled back Lauren’s thoughts.

Lauren’s heart felt stifled.

She was bewitched.

“Why? Are you afraid of meeting people?” Lauren still refused to admit defeat.

No, it was because of the environment all these years. She had a strong personality and had never admitted defeat to anyone.

A compromise was another matter.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of, but…”

When Lauren heard the word “But”, she immediately laughed out loud. “But what? You mean it’s like in the TV series where whoever takes off your mask and looks at your face will be responsible for you?”

It was undeniable that when Xiao Ye went against her, it really made her angry.

However, Xiao Ye’s words and actions sometimes made her laugh until her stomach hurt.

It was a TV drama, and old-fashioned ways.

What had he not done and believed in?

“Come over and treat my wound.” Seeing Lauren’s smile, Xiao Ye’s face could not be any darker.

“Okay.” Lauren agreed and walked toward Xiao Ye.

But when she reached out her hands, Lauren suddenly reacted.

Something was not right.

She was just fighting with Xiao Ye? Why did she have to listen to him like that?

When Lauren was about to retreat, Xiao Ye grabbed her wrist and pulled hard. She fell onto his body and crashed into his arms.

Xiao Ye’s gun was aimed directly at her forehead.

Lauren’s breathing tightened.

It was over!

She shot Xiao Ye. He would definitely get back at her for someone as vengeful as him.

“If you beg me now, I’ll let you off.” Xiao Ye’s thin lips moved as he pulled the trigger with his finger.

She had died once, but she did not want to die a second time.

Compromise?

No, she could not.

“Then kill me.” Lauren closed her eyes. She was gambling.

However, Xiao Ye quickly removed her gun.

She was in a very bad situation.

Xiao Ye wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and leaned over. As his weight pressed down on her, Lauren felt as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock. She was almost out of breath.

“Lauren, I really admire your courage. You didn’t want to see your carefully planned scheme to end before it was carried out, right? So stay by my side and I can support you.”

A low and hoarse voice rang in Lauren’s ears.

Lauren was in disbelief.

Xiao Ye was pleading with her?

“Well, I really don’t want to. How about I introduce you to someone else? Xiao Ye, you don’t understand what I’ve been through. I just want to be free.”

What bodyguard, what substitute marriage, what wife? None of those were as satisfying as being alone.

Moreover, loving someone was too bitter. She did not want to love anyone anymore.

“I only want you,” Xiao Ye said hoarsely, but this sentence was extremely certain.

No one had ever said such things to her, not even Joss.

At this moment, Xiao Ye was hugging her. She could feel the temperature of his body and his strong heartbeat.

He had been very well-behaved with her in the past few days she was with him.

Even when he fired the shots just now, he was just trying to scare her. However, she directly shot him in the arm. She was even more ruthless than him.

“That… Xiao Ye, calm down first. I’m no top-notch assassin, I was just lucky that word spread. In fact, I’m very weak. Look, when your legs are healed and your face is healed, you can go and flirt with many beautiful girls!”

Lauren tried to push Xiao Ye away, but she could not.

Xiao Ye rejected her. “I don’t want those girls, I only want you now. From the moment I first saw you, I felt that you were very special. You stay here and be my bodyguard, be my woman.”

Lauren really did not know how to respond to such domineering words.

“I don’t even know what you look like. So what if your looks have recovered? You definitely won’t be as good as before. I. . . I don’t like ugly people.”

Lauren refused again.

“Then take it off and see if I’m ugly,” Xiao Ye said as he moved his head away from her shoulder.

Lauren felt her shoulder relax and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Something was not right.

“I don’t want to take it off. I don’t want to see it, and I don’t want to be with you.” Lauren stood up, but Xiao Ye held her waist and did not let her get up and leave.

This was forcing her.

Lauren was disgusted.

“Xiao Ye, relationships are all about mutual consent. If you think I’m suitable, it’s only because you believe your grandfather’s old ways. Think about it carefully. Actually, you don’t have any feelings for me. You can have me by your side, or you can have someone else by your side, right?” Lauren sighed, using force did not work, so she reasoned and tried to move him with emotions.

However, Xiao Ye did not listen to her words and even took off his mask in the next second.

Seeing the face under the mask, Lauren was stunned.. “Why, why is it you?”
