Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

"Please let them go," Song Menghwa begged. "I’ll do anything you want to; I can give you anything you want, just don’t harm them..."

Song Menghwa coughed out another mouthful of blood, and his body started to convulse.

"Sir, please don’t stress yourself, Sir!"

Following the butler’s worried voice was the maid’s anxious cry. "Sir! Sir!"

Fang Rou ignored the chaos on Song Menghwa’s side and turned to smile thinly at Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun. "However, there’s a way to stop this explosive. There are two lines here, one will stop the bomb, another will cause it explode instantly, so... care for a game?"

Fang Rou then lowered her head to look at the time. "Time is ticking; there’s only 15 seconds left! Quick, make up your mind, or your whole family of three is going to die with me!"

Fang Rou continued to laugh to herself.

However, she only laughed for a few times before she suddenly stopped. Her expression became incredibly dull, and she turned slowly to walk towards the window that was shattered by the chair earlier.

Song Qingchun was startled by this sudden change in Fang Rou. It was not until Fang Rou was attempting to jump out the window that she recovered. She shoved Su Zhinian’s arm that was around her away and dashed forward to grab Fang Rou. She screamed desperately, "Su Zhinian, stop it!

"Su Zhinian, you promised that you’ll never abandon me! You cannot do this! If you make Fang Rou jump into the sea, you’ll die as well! You cannot do this!"

The moment Su Zhinian released his control on Fang Rou, he rushed forward to pull Song Qingchun’s back. He glanced at the timer—ten seconds left.

Ten seconds later, the bomb on Fang Rou would explode, and they would all have a deep sea burial!

Su Zhinian gripped Song Qingchun’s arms tightly and stared into her eyes deeply like he was trying to imprint her face in his brain and his heart. The way Su Zhinian looked at her caused Song Qingchun’s heart to curl with fear. She alternated looking between Fang Rou and Su Zhinian. She shook her head vehemently with tears in her eyes, "You cannot leave me alone, we’ll both jump into the ocean, yes, we’ll both jump!"

They weren’t close to any other boat, and who knew when the police would arrive? Song Qingchun was pregnant, so if she jumped into the ocean, she would definitely miscarry, and that would put her life in danger!

However, if it was he who controlled Fang Rou to jump into the ocean, it would be different! At worst, he would die alongside Fang Rou, but that way, Song Qingchun and their child would be safe.

He already put her in danger by agreeing to this crazy plan; he couldn’t make the same mistake twice!

Su Zhinian raised his hand to caress Song Qingchun’s cheek; the small gesture was representative of all the love and warmth that he had toward the love of his life. He lowered his face to kiss her lips. It was a light peck, and with his head leaning against hers, he said softly, "Tingting, thank you for walking into my life."

The timer only had seven seconds left.

"I love you..."

Six seconds.

"Live well on my behalf."
