Chapter 315 I'll Forgive Everything as Long as You Promise Me

Gu Anran was so scared that she nearly screamed.

She had not expected Eldest Young Master Mu to punch Jiang Nan without a single word. She thought that he would be merciful with them because Jiang Nan was his brother.

Perhaps Eldest Young Master Mu had been lenient with the strength of his punch. Otherwise, Jiang Nan might not be able to keep his feet up. Even so, Jiang Nan spat out the blood in his mouth. Gu Anran was so scared that she nearly fainted.

When she realized that Mu Zhanbei had moved toward Jiang Nan again, Gu Anran gasped and rushed to Jiang Nan's side. She spread her arms open to protect him from behind her. Then she watched as Mu Zhanbei slowly walked toward them step-by-step. She was so panicked that her fingertips trembled like mad.

At that moment, Eldest Young Master Mu had been incredibly scary! His aura was so cold enough that it could freeze the surrounding air around them.

"DON'T! Don't hurt him. You're not allowed to hurt him!" She was terrified of him.

Eldest Young Master Mu was not a good-tempered person, but she did not expect that he would deal such a cruel blow to his brother. Did that incident hurt him that badly?

"DON'T HURT HIM!" She watched as Mu Zhanbei advanced two steps forward. She was so scared that she stepped backward and tumbled straight into Jiang Nan's arms.

"I said, let go of her!" Mu Zhanbei's voice seemed to squeeze through his teeth.

Gu Anran flinched subconsciously, but Jiang Nan stood up straight. He did not let her go. Instead, he held her gently in her arms. Mu Zhanbei's eyes narrowed, and hints of murderous aura surged forth.

Even Mu Fengjin—who stood at the door—was there because he was afraid that his eldest brother might lash out against Jiang Nan.

Even though Mu Zhanbei did strike him, it was not at full strength. One punch was enough to cripple Jiang Nan if Eldest Brother did not hold himself back! They had been sworn-comrades for more than ten years, and Mu Fengjin knew that his eldest brother would regret it if he killed or crippled Jiang Nan.

"Eldest Brother..."

Mu Zhanbei did not even look at him. His eyes were exceedingly frigid as he locked his gaze onto the arm that Jiang Nan had around Gu Anran. He was filled with a cold and murderous aura—there was no warmth or affection in it. He was like a killing machine; he was always ready to end a life!

Jiang Nan pursed his thin lips. He held on to Gu Anran when he said, "This is my fault."

"No!" Gu Anran hugged his arm and bit her lip before she stared at Mu Zhanbei.

"It's your fault! It's ALL YOUR FAULT! You're the one who pushed me to him! Why do you only know how to get angry with others in situations like this? You never even thought about whether you were also responsible for it!"

He did not speak, but he could taste the blood in his mouth.

When she looked at that ever-unfeeling face, Gu Anran felt so much panic and distress that she was conflicted about her plan. However, they had gone too far. They could not turn back then. She could no longer stop it even if she felt regretful.

She walked out of Jiang Nan's arms and stepped forward to face Mu Zhanbei.

"Ranran..." Jiang Nan tried to pull her toward him, but she pushed him away.

It was not until she was three steps away from Mu Zhanbei that she stopped, and looked up to meet his cold gaze.

"You never gave me any warmth. You even pushed me away from yourself. You pushed me away to other men.

"Eldest Young Master Mu, why should I like you? Why should I like you when our relationship was only based on a contract right from the start? Did I have an obligation to like you?"

She sneered despite the pain in her heart. Her expression was more ruthless and scornful than anyone else there.

"I did not even like him initially. It was YOU! YOU forced me to like him!"

"What did I force you to do? Did I force you to sleep with him?"

Mu Zhanbei grabbed her wrist, and the action startled Jiang Nan that he immediately took two steps forward.

Even Mu Fengjin tried to get over there. He did not dare to get close, but he did not dare to be too far, either.

No matter what happened, Gu Anran had a baby in her stomach. If Eldest Brother lost control and hurt both her and the child, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"Isn't that what happened? I am a woman who has been abandoned by my fiancé. Suddenly, there is this gentle, considerate, and warm man by my side. He's handsome too. If you were in my shoes, won't you feel something too, Eldest Young Master Mu?"

"Bullsh*t!" What did she mean when she said she felt something? Was it that easy to feel something for someone?

Irrespective of how many women had shown up around him in the past, when had he felt anything for them?

Gu Anran did not want to see the disdain and contempt in his eyes. The more she did, the better she understood that he was not the kind of man who could love so easily. Once he fell in love, it was something that would last throughout his lifetime.

NO! She should not think about that. She had no right to think about that at all!

"What you think is your own business. All I know is that I'm in love with Jiang Nan. I want to be with him!"

"Say that again!" The man's voice was ice-cold, and he tightened his grip on her wrist.

Gu Anran winced because of the pain, and her small face was lost in an array of complex emotions. Even so, she glared at Mu Zhanbei and bellowed angrily, "I want to be with Jiang Nan, I love him!"

"You!"

"Big Brother! I started it. Let her go."

Jiang Nan moved toward them, but Mu Zhanbei lashed out at him with a punch. It might have looked like a random punch, but everyone there knew about his strength!

After the second punch, Jiang Nan vomited another mouthful of blood. He could not even stand up straight had he not held the edge of the table!

"STOP HITTING HIM! If you have what it takes, then hit me!" Gu Anran wanted to rush toward Jiang Nan, but Mu Zhanbei clasped her wrist so tightly that she could not break free!

"Jiang Nan!" She stared at the scarlet blood that dripped from Jiang Nan's lips. The distress in her eyes was completely genuine!

Mu Zhanbei's heart clenched again when he saw how she looked at Jiang Nan! Pain! The metallic taste of blood made its way to his lips once again.

"Tell me that he tricked you."

His breathing labored, and his chest felt as though something had pulled at it. It was so painful that he could not breathe.

"As long as you promise to forget about this man from now onward, I will forgive you."

There was no way he could forgive her! He could not bear to lose her and their child—the baby in her stomach. As long as she was willing to return to his side, he could forgive her for anything!

His heart had ached so badly!

"Can we stop fighting now?" The anger he felt immediately turned into fear when she said that she loved the other man.

It seemed like he did have such a fragile side after all.

He was terrified. He was worried that she would cease to care about him; he was afraid that she would care only for another man.

He was so scared that his fingers shook. Even his tall body trembled from fear. He was so terrified that he saw only blackness in front of his eyes, and he was so afraid that he would faint at any time.

Did she understand his fears?

Mu Zhanbei's thin lips quivered, and his fingertips trembled.

He gently took her hand as he did not dare to use force in case he might hurt her.

"Ranran, let's reconcile. Tell me you are still willing to be with me. We'll spend the rest of our days peacefully together, okay?"
