Chapter 578 - 579: Outbreak
Di Xiaxia was startled, instinctively wanting to retreat, but he held her in place, immobilizing her.
"Bi-Big brother ..." Di Xiaxia was becoming scared, stammering, "Do-Don’t do this."
"What am I doing?" Di Mingzhe’s voice was extremely hoarse, inching closer to her face, his shadowy eyes fixed on her, as though he wanted to bore a hole into her face.
Di Xiaxia was rendered speechless by his question, suddenly feeling that her response might have been a little overboard.
Just as she was about to speak, Di Mingzhe suddenly said through gritted teeth, "Di Xiaxia, I’ve done nothing to you yet. Why are you resisting me so much?"
"I..." Di Xiaxia was at a loss for words as she was questioned by him.
Di Mingzhe stared at her face, his expression highly intricate. After a moment of silence, he managed to control himself and speak, "If you’re intent on resisting me, I wouldn’t mind taking you now. You’re resisting anyway."
He seemed shrouded in a ruthless aura, as though he could explode at any moment. His dark, bottomless eyes lowered, ready to kiss her, but Di Xiaxia abruptly turned her head away. Tears uncontrollably began to flow, and she choked out, "Don’t do this."
"Then what exactly do you want me to do?" Di Mingzhe’s grip on her hand tightened.
"I..." Di Xiaxia turned her head to look at him, her tear-streaked face clearly visible.
Di Mingzhe’s eyes narrowed sharply suddenly, as though burnt, and the intimidating aura he carried appeared to recede.
There was a pang in his heart, it seemed he had frightened her.
He couldn’t bear to see her tears. The sight of her crying hurt him too much.
"Big brother, you said you’d give me time," Di Xiaxia began timidly, "You said you were patient, I..."
"Big brother is patient," Di Mingzhe said solemnly, struggling to keep his commanding tone, "But is it necessary for you to resist me like this, Di Xiaxia? What do I need to do to make you happy? Or do I need to tear out my heart and show you before you’ll be satisfied?"
"No, No..." Di Xiaxia shook her head terrified, frightened by his somewhat fierce demeanor. Honestly, in her memory, her big brother had never been like this before.
The ruthless aura exuded by his entire being was chilling, intimidating, and hard as ice, making it nearly impossible to defy him.
A trace of self-mockery surfaced in Di Mingzhe’s eyes, "Di Xiaxia, I’ve done all that I can, and said all that I could! The only thing I can’t do is let you leave me, the only thing I can’t endure is you resisting me like this!"
As Di Mingzhe got to this point, he drew a deep breath. Despite his best attempt to restrain himself, his eyes somehow reddened slightly.
The hand gripping her wrist inadvertently squeezed harder, his powerful grip intensifying. His words, venting his pent-up emotions and grievances, were precise and impactful, "If I wanted to touch you, I could have done so long ago. If you’re unwilling, well, I can use all my might to confine you by my side. Can you escape? Can you get away?
Di Xiaxia, you underestimate me, Di Mingzhe. So, in your heart, I am the kind of person that disregards your thoughts and feelings, who would force you."
Di Mingzhe leveled his clear accusations at her, his bloody eyes were filled with extreme wrath. His words were a piercing critique, "You spent twenty years loving the third brother, during which, I dare not tell you I love you. Every day I struggled to control myself, I dulled myself with work to avoid burdening you, fearing the eventual possibility of you ending up with the third brother. What would I do then?"
