บท 44: YOU CAN'T FORCE LOVE...

Yue Ling's face turned pale as Mo Jihnu's true intentions became clear. She was shocked and outraged, unable to form words.

Mo Jihnu sneered, "What? You can't do that? Well, I'm not asking for your permission. You don't have a choice, baby."

Yue Ling's anger flared, and she retorted in a challenging tone, "There's no way I'm going to marry a bastard like you!"

Mo Jihnu remained silent, waving his hand to summon one of his men, who brought out a paper. Mo Jihnu taunted, "Do you know what this is?"

Yue Ling's eyes widened as she recognized the marriage certificate. She refused to sign, but Mo Jihnu seemed to anticipate her resistance. He smiled cruelly and ordered his men to bring in a thumb ink, leaving Yue Ling dumbfounded.

Just as Mo Jihnu tried to force her to use her thumb to sign the papers, Yue Ling's demeanor changed. She stood up, her eyes blazing with fury, and delivered two resounding slaps across Mo Jihnu's face. Then, she unleashed a torrent of angry words, her voice echoing through the room.

"How dare you! You're despicable! I'll never marry you, no matter what you do!" she yelled, her defiance and determination palpable.

Mo Shira's frustration and anger reached a boiling point as he paced back and forth in the Mo Mansion's sitting room. Despite his efforts, Yue Ling remained missing, and he felt powerless for failing to protect her. The rest of the family shared his concern, but Grandpa Mo Shen's words echoed in his mind: the perpetrator was likely someone close to them, clever enough to evade detection and manipulate the investigation.

The arrival of the investigating team only added to Mo Shira's agitation. "Where is she?" he demanded, his voice low and menacing.

Person 1 hesitated, "Sir, the person involved is extremely smart. They placed the ring in a location with no signs of them."

Mo Shira's anger erupted. He grabbed the man's collar, his face red with rage, his veins bulging. "What?" he growled, on the verge of striking the man.

Grandpa Mo Shen intervened, placing a calming hand on Mo Shira's shoulder. "Shira, calm down. We need to think this through, not act impulsively."

Mo Shira's grip relaxed, but his eyes still blazed with fury. "We need to find her, now. I don't care what it takes."

Grandpa Mo Shen's calm voice intervened, "Let go of him, Mo Shira. He isn't to blame for this."

Mo Lin added, "Yes, brother, please calm down. We'll find her soon."

But Mo Shira's patience had worn thin. "Soon, soon, how soon? Where the f*ck is she? I can't sit here any longer. I'm going to look for her!" he yelled, his anger and frustration boiling over.

Zhao Lifei cautioned, "What if this is a trap to get you? Please don't go. Send Mo Jihnu instead."

Mo Shira's response was immediate and defiant. "Mo Jihnu? Where is he? I haven't heard anything from him. I can't sit and wait while she's in danger. She's more important to me. I'll go now!"

With that, Mo Shira stormed out of the mansion, determined to find Yue Ling, no matter the cost. He vowed not to return without her by his side.

***************

Yue Ling's words cut deep into Mo Jihnu's heart, "How dare you, Mo Jihnu? How dare you think love can be forced? Even if you force me to marry you, I will never be yours. I only love your brother, and that's it."

Mo Jihnu's face fell, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. He hadn't expected her to react with such defiance. He pushed the thought away that there was no chance for him in her heart, refusing to accept it.

Mo Jihnu's voice rose in anger, "What, you can't be mine? You can only be his? How, why? It took me great effort to bring you here, and you can't just let me down like this."

Yue Ling stood firm, "And why shouldn't I? You don't expect me to accept you this way. Mo Jihnu, you can't force love. I don't love you."

Mo Jihnu's face twisted in a mix of anger and desperation, "But he forced you before, and you still love him despite that. Then why can't you love me? We have the same face, although our characters are different, but we still look the same. Then why can't you love me too?"

As he pinned her against the wall, Yue Ling's fear spiked. She knew she couldn't match his strength, so she decided to use words to reach him. She realized that Mo Jihnu wasn't a bad person; he was misguided by his lust and obsession, which he mistook for love. She needed to make him understand.

Just as she was thinking of a way to make him come back to his senses, he drew even closer to her, his lips mere inches from hers. Any movement and their lips would touch...

Yue Ling wanted to use her hands again, but he held both of her hands with his right hand, and his left hand moved to her lips, then to her neck. He was about to touch her breast, and...

"Ring ring!!"
