Chapter 123: The Forbidden Sea
"This…" Yan Qingcheng was truly speechless. Indeed, it was so. If she put herself in his shoes, she wouldn't have believed Xiao Chen either.
She knew there was one possibility, which was to sacrifice herself. Only through marriage could she perhaps gain his trust. He should understand that for a proud and aloof woman like her, the purity of her body was more important than life itself. Perhaps only through such a means could she convince Xiao Chen.
But how could she resign herself to this? Especially for this former enemy. Although now was a time for compromise, she still could not bear such an outcome.
However, without doing so, how could she gain his trust? Based on Xiao Chen's nature, he would eliminate any risks and would not let her live.
