Shen Jingyan's heartbeat accelerated rapidly as the speed of the car increased, her face turned pale, and fear gradually took over her heart.

She gripped the edge of the seat tightly with both hands, her eyes wide open, staring at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, feeling as if she was in a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

"Jiang Xiyan, stop! You can't do this to me!" Shen Jingyan's voice was filled with tears. She turned her head while shouting, looking at Jiang Xiyan with fear and anger in her eyes. She never thought that things would develop to such an out-of-control point.

"Are you scared?" Jiang Xiyan glanced at Shen Jingyan, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, mixed with undisguised provocation. At the same time, he stepped hard on the accelerator with his right foot, and the engine instantly emitted a deafening roar, as if an enraged beast was roaring.

"Aren't you very powerful?" Jiang Xiyan spoke again, his words full of sarcasm and disdain. The wind howled in through the car window, ruffling his hair, but it couldn't cover up the cold light flashing in his narrow eyes.

Facing Jiang Xiyan's relentless pressure, Shen Jingyan refused to show weakness. She also raised her lips slightly, but there was no warmth in her smile, instead, it revealed a chilling firmness. Gritting her teeth tightly, Shen Jingyan said word by word: "Jiang Xiyan, don't force me to hate you." Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of determination and anger.

However, when the word "hate" reached Jiang Xiyan's ears, his heart involuntarily twitched violently, as if being stabbed by a sharp needle. His eyebrows subconsciously wrinkled slightly, and a trace of imperceptible hurt flashed in his originally cold eyes.

"Hate me?" Jiang Xiyan muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it. After a moment, he raised his head and looked directly into Shen Jingyan's eyes, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Don't you hate me already?" The laughter echoed in the empty road, sounding particularly desolate.

Shen Jingyan turned her head away from Jiang Xiyan, tears welling up in her eyes, her shoulders trembling slightly: "Yes, I hate you. From the moment you started targeting Lin Yu's parents' company, I couldn't help but hate you. Why did you become so selfish and cruel?"

"I do this for you, Shen Jingyan." Jiang Xiyan looked ahead, his eyes gradually softened, mixed with a hint of helplessness that was hard to detect. He sighed softly, and this sigh seemed to carry the weight of thousands of words. One of his hands unconsciously raised, slowly stroking the steering wheel, as if he wanted to use this action to relieve the complex emotions in his heart.

"I really don't want to lose you, even for a minute." Jiang Xiyan's voice was deep and full of affection, and every word seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart. However, in the face of his sincere confession, Shen Jingyan was unmoved.

"But you've already lost me, Jiang Xiyan!" Shen Jingyan suddenly raised her voice, her voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the originally silent atmosphere in the car. She waved one hand excitedly, and the arm drew arcs in the air, as if to dispel all the painful memories of the past.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan fell into a brief silence. A few seconds later, he spoke again, this time his eyes were no longer hesitant or confused, but full of unwavering determination. "I will never let go!" He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and because he was holding it too hard, his knuckles gradually turned white, which was particularly eye-catching.

Facing Jiang Xiyan's tough attitude, Shen Jingyan couldn't help but sneer. Her beautiful face was full of ridicule at the moment, and her eyes looking at Jiang Xiyan were full of disdain and disgust. "Humph, do you think you can win my heart back by pestering me like this? Let me tell you, Jiang Xiyan, you are wrong! If you do this, it will only make me hate you more and more, and push me further away!" After saying this, Shen Jingyan turned her head away and no longer looked at Jiang Xiyan.

"I don't need your love or affection, I just want you to stay by my side, stay with me, and don't go anywhere." Jiang Xiyan's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it came from the sound of temptation in the depths of darkness. However, behind that charming voice, there was a determination that would not tolerate any doubt or disobedience. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa next to him, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound. The floor lamp next to the sofa emitted a soft light, but it could not illuminate the darkness in their hearts.

"No! You devil! I will never succumb to your tyranny!"

"Do you think you can resist me? The more you struggle, the more interesting I find it." His breath gently brushed Shen Jingyan's cheek, bringing a hint of chill. Shen Jingyan could smell the faint scent of cologne on him, but that scent made her feel disgusted at the moment.

Shen Jingyan trembled all over, as if she was in an ice cellar, and every inch of her skin was shrouded in fear and despair. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to escape Jiang Xiyan's frightening gaze, as if that gaze was like a sharp needle that would pierce her soul. Tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, like beads that had broken off the string, dripping onto the cold floor, splashing tiny water droplets. Her tears formed a small puddle on the floor, reflecting her desperate face, which was full of helplessness and pain. Her originally bright eyes became dim at this moment, like stars that had lost their light.

At this time, the car was speeding on the road, and the trees on the roadside passed by quickly, like a series of blurred shadows. Occasionally, one or two other vehicles were also left far behind by Jiang Xiyan's sports car, leaving only the other party's dissatisfied horns echoing in the air. Jiang Xiyan's eyes flashed a trace of panic, his eyes were erratic, and he looked at Shen Jingyan from time to time: "Then what else can I do? I tried to forget you, but I can't do it. Every time I see you with him, my heart feels like it's been cut by a knife."

Shen Jingyan was silent for a long time, as if time had frozen at this moment. Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke slowly. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, with endless sadness and determination. Her eyes were as empty as a deep black hole, staring straight into the distance without any life, as if she wanted to see the beautiful past through the illusory scene in front of her.

"We... can never go back, Jiang Xiyan." She shook her head gently, and every word was extremely difficult to say. "Even if there has never been a person named Lin Yu in this world, there are already too many unbridgeable gaps and cracks between us. It is impossible to go back to the way it was before. Please, let me go, and let yourself go at the same time. Don't be obsessed with this long-broken relationship."

However, facing Shen Jingyan's heart-wrenching words, Jiang Xiyan's eyes became more determined. He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks slightly bulged, and a stubborn and resolute expression appeared on his face.

"No! I will never let go!" Jiang Xiyan shouted loudly, the voice was deafening, as if it would break through the sky, "No matter how many difficulties I encounter, no matter how much it costs, I will try my best to get you back to my side. Because I love you, and this love will never change!"

The car continued to speed forward, the lights on the roadside flickered, illuminating a short section of the road and then quickly disappeared into the darkness. Shen Jingyan looked out the window, she didn't know where Jiang Xiyan was going to take her. Her body slumped in the seat, her eyes dull.

After an unknown amount of time, the car finally slowed down and stopped in an unfamiliar place. Shen Jingyan slowly opened her eyes and found that this was in front of a relatively large villa. The villa was surrounded by green trees and the scenery was elegant, but Shen Jingyan was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment. Her eyes were full of fatigue and fear, and her brows were tightly knitted.

Jiang Xiyan got out of the car expressionlessly, his steps steady and powerful, as if every step carried invisible pressure. He walked straight to the passenger seat without looking sideways, his slender fingers grasped the door handle without hesitation, and with a slight pull, the door opened.

After he stood still, he looked down at Shen Jingyan in the car, his eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, without a trace of warmth. That look seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul, making people shudder.

Shen Jingyan sat in her seat, her body shaking uncontrollably. Her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and her originally rosy lips had turned extremely pale, even trembling slightly. She raised her head in horror, looked at Jiang Xiyan, and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at his frightening eyes again.

"Get out of the car!" Jiang Xiyan spoke again, his voice low and cold, without any emotion. These two words were like a thunder, exploding in Shen Jingyan's ears.

However, fear made Shen Jingyan lose her mind. She tightly grasped the edge of the seat, shook her head desperately, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I don't, what on earth are you going to do?"

Jiang Xiyan frowned impatiently, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and he reached out to pull Shen Jingyan, ignoring her struggle, and forcefully dragged her out of the car. Shen Jingyan struggled desperately, her eyes full of anger and despair, her hands and feet kept waving, but her strength seemed insignificant in front of Jiang Xiyan.

Jiang Xiyan's face was grim, and he dragged Shen Jingyan into the luxurious villa without saying a word. The lights inside the villa were bright, illuminating every corner as bright as day.

When they stepped into the spacious living room, Shen Jingyan saw Xia Qingcheng sitting in a wheelchair. Xia Qingcheng stared at Shen Jingyan with eyes wide open in disbelief. Her originally delicate and beautiful face was now distorted by surprise. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. She could only utter a few words blankly: "You... why are you here?"
