Chapter 1054 My Future Without You

Ling Qingan looked at the man in front of her, gentle as water, full of tenderness, and suddenly let out a soft laugh.

“Wen Jichen, do you think that because I came back, it’s as if the past has never happened? Do you think just because I haven’t come to find you guys, it means I’ve forgotten those things? Do you think that by entangling with me like this, we can get back together?”

Ling Qingan stared straight into his eyes, looking at the double pupils reflecting her shadow, and spoke word by word:

“I returned to the country simply because the roots of the Ling Family are here. I didn’t look for you because I wanted to clearly cut off ties, not wanting to have any entanglements with you anymore. As for getting back together…”

She paused here, obviously feeling the body pressing on her stiffen slightly, before continuing:

“If possible, I hope you can completely disappear from my world. I don’t want my future life to have any entanglement with you! So, do you understand Wen Jichen, my future has no place for you!”

Wen Jichen’s eyes trembled violently, and Ling Qingan’s image elongated, twisted, broke, and fell apart in the shaking.

Trying to forcibly piece together the scattered fragments, yet it was like an ink painting soaked in water, the ink stains spread out, leaving only a chaotic black in the end.

In the end, there was only a blur of light remaining in front of him, completely dissipating into nothingness under her gaze.

The parking lot today wasn’t exactly quiet, even without the celebration at Qianran International, there were still people coming and going at Atlantis.

But in this not-so-quiet atmosphere, Ling Qingan’s words reached his ears one by one.

They even echoed relentlessly.

The sound gradually dissipated, and her expression on face was cold and indifferent.

The tenderness on Wen Jichen’s face was abruptly cut off, his whole body along with it froze.

She emitted a familiar and subtle fragrance, along with the faint scent of alcohol in the breath, intoxicating and mesmerizing.

But Wen Jichen had no interest now, the girl’s words shattered all his repression and endurance tonight, releasing a burgeoning storm within him completely.

Couldn’t manage to make him angry?

He saw she’s quite capable!

The grip on her hands tightened even more, his strong chest pressing down increasingly hard.

Ling Qingan’s pupils contracted, the pain from her body and wrists made her frown and struggle again.

“Wen Jichen, what are you doing? You…”

Wen Jichen let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with a fierce intent to tear her apart.

“Your future doesn’t include me? Ling Qingan, you’ve exhausted all my patience.”

He laughed in anger, the curve of his lips like a drawn blade, sharp and chilling.

Ling Qingan widened her eyes slightly, and the next moment, the man suddenly leaned down and kissed her hard.

There was a ripping sound.

The silk on the dress was torn apart, and while kissing, the man’s hand slipped around her waist.

He wasn’t interested now, more so releasing the anger in his heart.

Otherwise, he feared he might not be able to stop himself from strangling this heartless woman before him.

Her future has no place for him?

So she not only wanted to escape from his side once again, but she planned a future without him.

Returning to the country wasn’t for him.

Ignoring him was because she didn’t want a connection.

Wants to cut ties?

Ha.

Then he would just refuse to grant her wish!

Ling Qingan struggled fiercely, returning this time not only to heal her illness but also to see if there was a way to help the Ling Family and make amends for her mistakes.

So as for Wen Jichen, she truly wanted nothing more to do with him.

She knew she couldn’t fight him, so she wouldn’t delude herself into thinking of revenge or settling scores.

She accepted it.

Accepted the downfall of the Ling Family.

Accepted being calculated by someone who shared her pillow.

Admitted her foolishness.

Accepted everything.

But why wouldn’t he let her go?

Clearly, she had let him go, so why was he still invading at every turn?

The man’s ruthless kisses grinded and bit at her lips without a shred of gentleness.

He pressed down aggressively on her slender waist, his large hand roamed her body, and another ripping sound was heard, making Ling Qingan feel a chill across her chest.

The strapless gown was torn apart.

She struggled harder, tears unexpectedly streaming from her eyes, her voice laced with a deep sob.

“Wen Jichen, you bastard! What gives you the right to treat me like this! Let me go…”

Let go?

Let her disappear again?

Not in this lifetime!

The man lowered his head once more to kiss her lips, one hand still gripping her hands, while the other wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to his body.

The two bodies were tightly pressed together.

Seamlessly intertwined.

Occasional fragmented screams came from inside the car.

But the parking lot was not completely deserted, so soon, hearing the commotion, the administrator in charge of parking lot order rushed over.

“Sir, what are you doing?”

At the sound, Wen Jichen’s body jerked sharply, then he pulled Ling Qingan entirely into his arms, pressing her face into his chest, his tall frame shielding her completely.

“Get lost!”

A sinister growl echoed from the car, startling the administrator.

But what kind of guests haven’t they seen? How could they be easily frightened?

So the administrator quickly reacted, “Sir, this is a public place. If you don’t let go of the lady in the car, I will call the police.”

How could the man be scared by his warnings and threats? His expression turned cold, the harshness in his eyes almost seeping out.

At that moment, however, he suddenly noticed the red traces on the torn dress.

Wen Jichen shuddered, quickly looking down at the woman in his arms.

Her body was trembling continuously, hair disheveled, face as white as paper with no blood, in a state of shock.

She bit her lip tightly, the corner of her lip was broken and bleeding, and the fingers on her chest were also bleeding.

The once witty and lively bright eyes were now vacant, dull, lifeless, like a puppet being controlled by strings.

Anyone could see that she was in an extremely dangerous state.

Wen Jichen’s pupils contracted suddenly, his arm wrapped around her tightened slightly, which caused Ling Qingan to shudder again.

This instinctive reaction made Wen Jichen’s gaze sink deeper.

He took off his jacket and draped it over her chest, flipped over to the driver’s seat, closed the door, and the car shot out with one step on the gas pedal.

As the car sped away, Ling Qingan’s eyes had a slight focus, but her face turned even paler.

She bit her lip hard, curling herself into a ball in the corner, trying to stay as far away from the man as possible.

The car exited the underground garage, and the neon lights began to flash before her eyes. Ling Qingan turned her head to look at the fleeting street scenery outside the window but felt the air becoming increasingly thin.

Breathing became rapid and shallow, the scenery in front of her eyes gradually blurred until it completely turned into a patch of light and shadow.

She suddenly closed her eyes, the darkness relieved her slightly, and her heartbeat resumed its rhythmic thumping.

But suddenly, it was like someone was pounding on her chest, thump thump thump, so fast she couldn’t catch her breath.

The sound of her heartbeat suddenly went chaotic, as did her breathing.

She began to sweat, sweat rolling down from her forehead, along the bridge of her nose, dripping onto the back of her hand.

Then, sharp arguing, crying, even a child’s wailing, and then blood, blood everywhere.

The blood on the ground seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly gathering together, turning into a pair of thick arms that suddenly lunged at her.

Ling Qingan’s breath seized, and the next second, she found herself enveloped by raging waves.

The waves continuously crashed against her, looking at the endless coastline, she felt she could be swallowed at any moment.

The instinct to survive made her reflexively want to grab onto something, though she didn’t know what she was holding onto, merely the real sensation of gripping something allowed her to let out a slight sigh of relief.

“Ling Qingan!!”

Suddenly, a disordered shout rang out, followed by the screech of brakes as the speeding car abruptly halted.

The sudden stop made Ling Qingan lean forward violently, but it was precisely this force that made her tightly closed eyes abruptly open.

Her thoughts were muddled for a moment, and once clarity returned, what met her eyes was Wen Jichen’s extremely grim face.

“What are you doing?!”

Her reaction was somewhat slow, lowering her head following the man’s gaze, only to discover that her hands were gripping the car door handle.

She stared at those hands, seemingly spotting fragments floating out from the darkness, completely overlapping with the hands in front of her.

The dust-covered memory played back like a movie, frame by frame flooding into her mind.

A sudden stabbing pain shot through her head, and everything went black as she fainted.

Looking at the face that was pale and devoid of any vitality, Wen Jichen’s pupils contracted deeply.

“Qingan… Qingan!!”

He quickly reached out to grab her hand, placing three fingers on her wrist, wanting to feel her pulse.

But his hands kept trembling, unable to feel the pulse beat.

At this moment, the calm and composed man finally lost control.

Wen Jichen placed Ling Qingan’s head against the seatback, then restarted the car, speeding towards the hospital.

Running red lights all the way, his phone constantly flashing violation messages, but Wen Jichen had no mind to pay attention, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.

Soon he reached the hospital, Wen Jichen carried Ling Qingan out of the car, her head limp without any support, her body showing no signs of life…

His heart clenched breathlessly, he rushed into the hospital with her in his arms, loudly calling:

“Get the doctors! Call all the doctors here!!”

The nurse, seeing his face full of coldness and menace, glanced at the lifeless woman in his arms, dared not delay.

“Quick! Call the doctors!”

A chaotic flurry ensued as all the on-duty doctors mobilized.
