Chapter 54 Don't provoke me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from slapping you

"Wasn't what I said that day clear and thorough enough? When I want nothing to do with you, you'd better have some self-awareness and get as far away from me as possible. Stop lingering in front of my eyes; just looking at you makes me sick!"

As he spoke, the flames of anger raged in Lin Yang's heart like surging magma, churning violently in the depths of his soul.

In his past life, it was this very woman who had turned his life upside down like a demon, ruining his family and plunging him into an endless abyss of suffering.

The reason he had kept his forbearance and not yet exacted revenge on Sun Xiaorong was that he knew full well revenge was never a hasty impulse, but a game of chess requiring meticulous planning.

He would make Sun Xiaorong pay a agonizing price for what she had done, making her taste the bitterness of a ruined family, just as he had once suffered.

Only by doing so could he live up to this hard-earned chance at rebirth.

Watching Lin Yang's utterly ruthless expression at that moment, an impulsive thought flashed across Sun Xiaorong's mind like lightning.

She could get rid of the child in her womb, and then find a way to coax and deceive Lin Yang into changing his mind so the two of them could fly away together once more.

Liu Datong was by no means an ideal partner for her.

Her initial approach to Liu Datong had merely been driven by the calculation of extracting benefits from him.

Getting pregnant was also meant to be used as leverage against him.

"Lin Yang, the only person in my heart has always been you! That incident last time was truly a nightmare—it was that bastard Liu Datong who forced me!"

"A fragile woman like me had no ability to resist him at all. He is built like an ox with the strength of a beast, and no matter how I struggled, I couldn't break free."

Sun Xiaorong's eye sockets turned red, tears swirling in her eyes with a sobbing tone in her voice, attempting to use this pitiful demeanor to soften Lin Yang's already frozen heart.

"He even threatened me fiercely, saying that if I dared to report him, he would make sure my entire family would be left without a burial place. I was truly at my wit's end and terrified!"

Lin Yang laughed coldly, filled with endless mockery. "Liu Datong didn't tell it that way. He told me everything, detail by detail: it was you who took the initiative to provoke him, and the two of you had been sneaking around messing about together for a long time."

"The very first time the two of you tangled together was actually back when you were still in school, sneaking off to slip into the woods."

"Furthermore, you even had two abortions for him. Do you dare say these things aren't true?!"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Sun Xiaorong's eyes widened instantly, filled with terror and disbelief.

When she confronted Lin Yang last time, he had never mentioned these sordid details.

She could never have imagined that that fool Liu Datong would actually spill all these unmentionable secrets to Lin Yang in one go.

What on earth was wrong with his head!

Lin Yang stared at Sun Xiaorong with a half-smile, his eyes full of utter disdain. "What? Still racking your brains to fabricate excuses?"

Sun Xiaorong, don't waste your breath anymore. The moment I think of you now, my stomach turns, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly."

"You truly have a venomous mind, actually plotting to make me raise someone else's son, and scheming to push me into a death trap. You even had my family cough up the 'three rounds and one sound' plus five hundred yuan in bride price!"

"Speaking of which, I really must thank Liu Datong. If he hadn't laid the truth bare, I might still be kept in the dark, acting like a fool and falling out bitterly with my family over that money!"

"I am truly fortunate to have seen through your true face so early. Otherwise, I, Lin Yang, would have been doomed beyond redemption!"

The ambiguous smile on Lin Yang's face at this moment was undoubtedly the sharpest and most vicious mockery in Sun Xiaorong's eyes.

She trembled slightly with rage, her teeth grinding together, her chest heaving violently as her breathing grew rapid and heavy.

The anger in her heart was like a ignited powder keg, almost swallowing her whole.

Yet reason ultimately prevailed; she still gritted her teeth against her fury and forced herself to put on an extremely aggrieved and pitiful appearance.

"You mustn't be fooled by him, Lin Yang. I actually wanted nothing more than to accept your pursuit, but that bully Liu Datong kept threatening me, saying that if I dared to marry anyone, he would air all those filthy scandals between us."

"My body was ruined by him; which man would ever be willing to marry a woman whose reputation is tarnished?"

"I accepted your pursuit with the heartfelt hope of finding the right moment to tell you the absolute truth of the matter from beginning to end."

"I was naive enough to think you would certainly forgive me; none of this was truly what I wanted."

Lin Yang was nearly laughed to a rage by her shamelessness.

"Sun Xiaorong, stop putting on a hypocritical act in front of me and playing games. Even if you were to drop to your knees right now and beg bitterly, I wouldn't spare you a second glance."

"If you still have any sense of shame left, get as far away from me as you can and stop provoking me, or else I really fear I won't be able to hold back from beating you."

Sun Xiaorong bit her red lower lip so hard it almost bled, casting a gaze brimming with venomous malice deeply at Lin Yang.

Then, without another word, she turned and strode away with resolute steps.

At the exact moment she turned around, the hatred in her heart spread rapidly like wildly growing weeds.

She had also heard that Lin Yang had been running frequently to Li Xiaowan's house recently, very likely setting his sights on the Li family's girl.

A venomous thought, like a demon's whisper, quietly sprouted within her heart.

Lin Yang furrowed his brow tightly. The threatening look Sun Xiaorong gave as she left brushed across his heart like a chilling venomous snake, sending a shiver through him.

He clearly realized that he could no longer sit idly by and wait.

Since the timing was not yet ripe, he would forge the timing himself and take the initiative to strike!
