Chapter 463: Heartache

Then, it dawned on me. "Jing Tian was in so much pain that day because he refused to accept Tong Yan's order to kill me?"

"Yes. When I checked on that woman, she was ramming her head against the wall. Jing Tian would feel all her pain but greatly intensified. A normal man would have cracked already."

Tears welled up in my eyes. Jing Tian was in such pain because he didn't want to kill me. Instead, he told me that he'd wait for me in the next life. He didn't have any intention of killing me at all.

Ma Ji wiped my tears. "Stop crying. I know that you two truly love each other, so I'll help. However, Nanxing, there is a price to pay for everything, especially when it comes to love. It's rare for true love to blossom, so you'll face all kinds of challenges. You'll have to leave before Jing Tian wakes up. Don't let him see you, and give him time to recover. When he can see you next, he'll fall in love with you all over again."
