Bungee jump. For him to agree to divorce, there was just one condition – it was precisely for her to jump off of Dahan Bridge on Beiheng Road. He didn’t believe that she would have the guts to jump. Ke Mu Yu stiffly hooked his lips coldly, leading his wife to the bright red iron bridge. Looking down at the deep emerald valley, he could feel her entire body shaking. When the instructor tied the bungee cords to them separately, he confirmed that her legs stumbled so bad that she nearly knelt on the ground several times.

She was really scared, right? Scared to death, right? He still remembered that last time they were just riding a helicopter and she was so afraid she nearly fell apart. This time, for her to jump into the valley, the fear would be several times greater than before.

She wouldn’t be able to do it, it was impossible for her to do it…

“How is it? Are you going to jump?” He asked with provocation.

She seemed to hear that he was provoking her. Turning her deathly pale face around, her eyes leapt with a flame of resentment. He secretly clenched his hand. It doesn’t matter, just let her hate him! He would rather she hate him than have her leave him. She can’t leave, she was solely his rose, he definitely won’t let go!

“If you’re not jumping, let’s go back. In the future, don’t mention it again.”

“I’m jumping!” She cut him off.

His countenance changed in horror. “What did you say?”

“I’m jumping.” Her voice shook, but her expression was determined. She resembled a rose blooming on the summit of a cliff, proudly unyielding toward the secular world.

He grit his teeth, his eyes aimed at her, fierce and stern. Why couldn’t she just listen obediently? Why was she simply unwilling to surrender to him?

“Mu Yu.” She hoarsely called his name.

He trembled against his will, pulling the muscles on his face taut and not permitting himself to show any emotion.

“I admit that I’ve lost, but I didn’t lose to you, I lost to love.”

What does that mean? His brows furrowed in anger. She calmly gazed at him. He couldn’t tell whether the expression in those eyes that were blurry as water held love or hate, or both.

“When I pretended to be blind and delayed the divorce, I thought I would be happy as a result. That day you sent me to the hospital, considerately took care of me, kept me company, suddenly made me feel very guilty, feel like I shouldn’t deceive you like this. Afterward, because I heard the conversation between you and Song Qi Hong, I hated you again for treating me as a tool for punishing her, and decided to tell Senior the information on En Yu Corporation’s acquisition of Starlight Technologies and let him get in touch with Starlight, forcing En Yu to have no choice but to raise the acquisition price…”

She bitterly curved her lips, eyes filled with tears. “I thought I did very well, I’d won. Logically, I should be very happy, but I wasn’t happy at all, I felt horrible. Hearing that you were criticized by your dad, I felt even more horrible. I didn’t know what was going on with me either, I only know now that I was reaping what I sowed! My heart had moved for you long ago, secretly liked you already long ago, so every time I played tricks on you, the one that was hurt was actually myself. Then, now I’m finally receiving the greatest retribution! I told you I love you, but you won’t believe me.”

A pure and limpid tear fell, scorching his heart. His throat restricted, suppressing the indescribable pain in his chest.

He really deserved to die! Clearly he wanted to punish her, yet why was he the one that hurt? Why did his entire heart hurt so much that it was rendered senseless?

“…I’ve lost, but I didn’t lose to you, I lost to love. It’s because I fell in love with you that I lost so completely.”

It’s because I fell in love with you that I lost so completely.

Ke Mu Yu was horrified. A burst of sorrow that was hard to describe clogged his throat. He didn’t cry, it had already been a very long, very long time since he had tasted the saltiness of tears, but right now, however, his eyes were faintly red.

“Mu Yu, can you understand? Precisely because I love you very much, I have to leave you.” No, he didn’t understand! This was too unreasonable, if she really loved him, then how would she be willing to leave him? She can’t leave! “Yi An, you…” His hands were shaking as he tried to reach out in her direction, but she didn’t even look at him, ignoring the urging for her to stay that he found hard to voice. With the assistance of the two instructors, she stepped up to the railing, her back facing the many tens of meters deep abyss.

He stared at her, unable to believe it. Her whole body was quaking in fear, her complexion pale as snow, but she still courageously stood at the railing, her arms spread out like flexible wings, about to leap at any time.

Was she really jumping? She would rather challenge her limits than stay by his side? Did he really cause her such pain?

Don’t be like this, Yi An, don’t be like this…

He was suddenly terrified, even more afraid than she was, afraid that she would really jump down, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take that thrilling process. She would be scared stiff, she might even lose consciousness, he didn’t want her to bear that, she wouldn’t be able to endure it…

As if seeing through his thoughts, she faintly spoke. “That’s right, I’m very scared of heights, so extremely scared. If I jump down from here, I might be scared to death, but I still have to jump because, for me, staying by your side but having you not trust me will be a hundred times more painful. I don’t think there’s any way I can endure that kind of pain.”

“Yi An…” He called, his voice hoarse and gloomy. Don’t jump, I believe you, I believe whatever you say, so don’t jump… She decisively closed her eyes, her inky hair fluttering, her appearance sad and beautiful. He watched in shock, not knowing what to do. A sob escaped from her tightly bitten lips and his chest shook, knowing she was about to jump…

“Don’t!” He sorrowfully shouted with all his might. Without thinking, he rushed over and quickly jumped onto the bridge, bringing her soft body into his embrace before she dropped off. The two people’s center of gravity was unsteady and, together, they fell off the bridge.

She continued to scream. Each and every wail of terror ferociously tore his heart apart. He was the one in the wrong, he was bad, he forced her to bear all these, he made her cry.

“I’m sorry, Yi An, I’m sorry!” He frantically apologized, tightly embracing her. No matter how the bungee cord swayed, he wouldn’t let any force separate them, “Don’t cry, don’t be scared, I’ll hug you. In my arms, I won’t let you get hurt, I’ll definitely protect you…don’t cry anymore, don’t cry, I’m sorry, don’t cry…”

He apologized over and over again. Don’t know whether or not she heard it, she stopped wailing mournfully and buried her face into his arms, crying and sobbing.

“I hate you, hate you…you’re so hateful, really too much, you’re a scoundrel…” She hysterically complained, both her hands hugged him tightly and her fingertips emotionally dug into him.

He silently endured it. No matter how many imprints she left on him, they couldn’t compare to the injuries that he had given her. He had lost, lost to her, lost to love. He had once attempted vainly to tame her. It was only now that he realized, it turns out when you love a person, even giving her a very small punishment would cause yourself to feel very guilty and so long as she was in a little bit of pain, he would be softhearted and unwilling.

Love was untamable. It completely conquered everything, never standing on anyone’s side. People can only lonely and bitterly fight with it.

And from the past to now, when all is said and done, who has ever won against love?

He had lost, lost…

“I’m sorry, Yi An.” He lowered his lips, tenderly kissing his little wife’s hair. “I won’t force you anymore, just do whatever you want!”

If she insisted on divorcing, he could reluctantly let go. Because he loves her, he would return precious freedom to her.

Two years ago, they got married because of a contract, now he was willing to divorce because of love!
