After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, Yun Bixue only heard maniacal laughter coming from the other end of the phone. “Yun Bixue, do you truly not understand what's going on, or are you just pretending?”

Yun Bixue's heart was thumping madly, but she dug her fingernails deep into her palm to force herself to sound calm. She answered coolly, “Xiajun Yanwu, do you expect me to understand someone who has lost her mind? What a joke.”

“Hmph. Yun Bixue, stop pretending. It's useless anyway. Xie Limo may die anytime.”

Yun Bixue's heart raced and fear crept up her spine. She wasn't afraid of her own death, but she was worried for Xie Limo's safety. She wouldn't be able to take it if he were to be hurt.

Yun Bixue clenched her jaw and said, “Xiajun Yanwu, I know you like Xie Limo, but is your love for him so shallow? Can you kill him just like that?”

Xiajun Yanwu answered sinisterly, “Hmph. Yun Bixue, don't try to confuse me. I know that Xie Limo cares for you. As long as you're around, he won't ever look at another woman. If I can't have him, I'll just kill him.”

“You're insane!”

“I'm not just insane. I know very well what my choice will be. Are you going to accept my terms?”

Yun Bixue narrowed her eyes and tried hard to stay composed. “Xiajun Yanwu, that's a threat!”

“Well, I think it's a negotiation. If you think otherwise, so be it!”

Yun Bixue scoffed. “Xiajun Yanwu, you probably don't know me well. Threats do nothing to me at all.”

Xiajun Yanwu was stunned momentarily, and her eyes were clouded with shock. Does Yun Bixue not care about Xie Limo's life at all?

“In that case, you won't be able to see him anymore. Your child will also need a father too, right?”

Yun Bixue had long been agitated after hearing Xiajun Yanwu's words. After standing for some time, her legs had grown weak, and her stomach was throbbing too.

However, she held it back and answered without hesitation, “Xiajun Yanwu, I'm not afraid of your threats. If he dies, I'll kill myself too. But I will never listen to you and leave him!”

Xiajun Yanwu had never expected Yun Bixue to make such a decision so swiftly. She was so livid that she clenched her jaw hard. Her beautiful face also started to distort with her anger.

Xiajun Yanwu took in a deep breath and said, “Fine, Yun Bixue. Let's wait and see. If anything happens to Xie Limo, it's all your fault.”

“Don't worry. If he dies, I won't be able to live too. However, you will bear the wrath of the country's citizens.”

Xiajun Yanwu chuckled hysterically. “Ha! Yun Bixue, what a shameless boast!”

At that moment, Xiajun Yanwu had no clue that Yun Bixue was truly capable of her words. She had never failed to deliver any of such promises.

Xiajun Yanwu had yet to realize that she was simply asking for it. She was completely getting on Yun Bixue's nerves as she continued, “Yun Bixue, even if you don't listen to me and still stay with him, there'll still be others who are waiting to strike. Just wait and see!”

After speaking, Xiajun Yanwu ended the call.

Yun Bixue shut her eyes and rested her mind. She had already arranged for the Yun family's men of sacrifice to attack, and they were probably already taking action.

Right now, she wasn't afraid. She trusted Xie Limo and believed that he would be able to protect himself regardless of the situation.

Despite her faith in him, Yun Bixue still felt rather fl.u.s.tered.

She called him once again but still failed to reach him or Xie Liu.
