Pet Ancient Husband

Chapter 4: Death

"Enough, Xie Tengyi, you don't have to act so intimate in front of me!"

Xiao Shuang stormed over and forcefully pushed Ah Yi away, glaring at me with a look I had never seen before. I felt a sense of unease as I looked at Xiao Shuang, who seemed like an avenging angel. A sense of dread spread in my heart.

"Ruo'er, why? Why do the men I love all love you so much? I used to deeply love Ye Jun, but to win your favor, he cruelly sent me to your side, making me watch as he showered all his affection on you. Do you know how much I hate you? I worked hard just to gain your trust, planning to take revenge on you, until I met Ah Yi..." Xiao Shuang looked at Ah Yi with an infatuated gaze, all the malice in her eyes gone. I realized she must be deeply in love with him. I felt sympathy for her situation. Falling in love with such a calculating man was truly heartbreaking. I suddenly understood the feeling of hating someone with every fiber of my being. I hated Ye Jun for thinking he loved me, yet placing his love for me on another woman's wounds, putting me in danger. Watching Xiao Shuang lose control, I worriedly glanced at Ah Yi, who remained expressionless.

"Don't flirt in front of me," Xiao Shuang roared almost insanely, "Until I met Ah Yi, I found myself falling in love with him, captivated by his playful smile. I once thought about giving up the idea of taking revenge on you, but alas! He still couldn't resist your charm and fell in love with you too. How ridiculous? The two men I deeply love, both rejecting my love for the same woman. I hate you, I utterly despise you. If only you would disappear. If you were gone, they would love me, Ye Jun and Ah Yi would both love me. So, why don't you just die? Why don't you die? Will you?"

Xiao Shuang seemed to be in a daze, her heart burdened with too much pain, and her words began to ramble. I shrank back in fear. It was said that a woman's jealousy could be terrifying, and seeing Xiao Shuang like this, I truly understood the meaning of that saying.

Noticing my fear, Ah Yi walked over and held me in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I won't let this madwoman hurt you."

Held in his embrace, I weakly rolled my eyes. Although his protection made me feel warm, please, didn't he realize that in Xiao Shuang's eyes, his actions were like pouring gasoline on a raging fire, which would surely doom me?

Sure enough, Xiao Shuang pushed Ah Yi away with all her might and grabbed me, dragging me towards the cliff edge. Perhaps driven mad by anger, she actually took me to the edge of the cliff right under Ah Yi's nose. I couldn't help but lament for my young life. Damn Ah Yi for not holding onto me; it seemed I was doomed.

"Xiao Shuang, don't do anything rash. If Ruo'er dies, you won't survive either!" Ah Yi caught up to us, looking at me with a worried expression.

Please, stop provoking Xiao Shuang, big brother. I'm going to be killed by this jerk Ah Yi. At this point, I didn't know what to say. I was afraid that the more I spoke, the worse it would get. As a woman, I felt heartbroken for Xiao Shuang's experiences. Such a beautiful girl, at the prime of her youth, had already gone through so much pain on the path of love.

"Xie Tengyi! I loved you so much, why do your heartaches and concerns only belong to her? Besides her pretty face, what else does she have that's better than me? You love her, don't you? Fine! I'll destroy her right in front of you."

Before I could react, I felt my body plummeting. Xiao Shuang's shrill laughter and Ah Yi's cries echoed in my ears, mixed with the sound of the wind as I fell. Suddenly, I wasn't afraid anymore. My overly beautiful face, perhaps from the moment of my birth, was destined for this ending.

As I closed my eyes, for a moment, I seemed to see the fortune teller from Qingxin Temple smirking at me. Hmph! I really wanted to tear apart his smug face...
