Because of Xiaoqiao's words, Lu Rui's eyes contracted, his black pupils became even larger, staring straight at her.
That pair of eyes were cold and terrifying, like a cold stream that surrounded her. It was like a venomous snake that was spitting its tongue as it stared at her, as if it could swallow a person into its stomach at any time, so much so that not even its bones were left.
Xiaoqiao's heart shuddered violently, and her body almost fell down. Her face became even paler, as pale as a piece of paper.
His body was so light that it seemed as if it might be blown away by the wind at any moment.
However, she managed to hold on, both of her feet standing steadily, her fists tightly clenched, as she stared at Lu Rui.
"What's with such a big reaction?" What? Or did I poke your sore spot? " Xiaoqiao's eyes were still filled with coldness, and she asked coldly.
"Looks like I guessed right, everything that happened really had nothing to do with Yubei. There was actually someone willing to sacrifice their own life to gamble on this." Xiaoqiao said those words calmly.
"I just feel regretful. Since we're betting our lives on this, but losing a pair of legs is too cheap, I think having to sleep for a long time or never waking up is the best fate for him. What do you think, Third Brother?"
Speaking till now, at this point, Xiaoqiao was not afraid of anything anymore.
The meaning of her words just now was already self-evident. She wanted Lu Rui to die and go to hell.
But how could Lu Rui, a meticulous person, not understand?
"Are you really not afraid of death?" As Lu Rui listened, he felt Han Leng's body emitting an aura as hard as ice. The black pupils in his eyes quickly became as sharp as knives, and began to slow down the hearts of people inch by inch.
"Afraid?" Xiaoqiao's lips formed the word as she laughed coldly.
"Are you afraid that you will kill me, or use me as a bargaining chip against Yubei?" Xiaoqiao asked calmly. It was at this point in time that she needed to remain calm and remain calm in the face of danger.
"…" Lu Rui stared fixedly at her and did not utter a single word for a long while.
After a while, the atmosphere became extremely quiet, but it was Xiaoqiao who spoke first: "If it was the former, I can tell you, from the moment I came here, the monitoring system had recorded everything, if I really died in this room, third brother would have a hard time asking for help!"
"What if it's the latter?" Lu Rui asked, pressing further and further: "My good Second Brother is willing to break all ties for you, your parents and nephew, you and me, you know … If I use you as a bargaining chip against him, what will happen? "
"Heh …" Xiaoqiao chuckled, but did not reply.
"I can tell, my Second Brother is still sentimental, I guess... If you truly land in my hands, then no matter what I want you to do, he will have to obediently offer it up to me. " Lu Rui said.
"…" Xiaoqiao still did not reply. At this moment, she was actually calm and rational.
"Or did you cower, become scared, and not believe that he would give up everything he had worked so hard for all these years for you?" Lu Rui asked again.
This time, Xiaoqiao finally spoke. "I naturally believe him."
"You're right. If I really fell into your hands, becoming your bargaining chip between you and Yubei, he would definitely offer me many things that would be difficult for him to find out about me over the years. However …"
After saying that, Xiaoqiao's voice rose, and her eyes lit up. She looked coldly at Lu Rui, and spoke with an extremely resolute tone: "I, Yan Xiaoqiao, will not give you the chance to do so."
"Even if Yubei was willing, I would never give you this chance. Would I allow myself to become a bargaining chip against him, a burden to him? Lu Rui, you are really pitiful. A person like you would never ever be able to enjoy the taste of love, not to mention love, even the feelings of cherishing the people you love the most right! "
"That's right!" Xiaoqiao laughed, and the smile in her eyes suddenly became unrestrained and unrestrained: "You have never truly loved, and have never had a lover either. How do you know how great love is? How would I know this kind of feeling of willingness, and of course I wouldn't know how far I would be willing to sacrifice myself for Yubei. "
"Heh …" Lu Rui's expression suddenly became very unsightly.
It was as if he was provoked by Xiaoqiao's words just now, but also seemed like … However, it was as easy as a breeze when he heard that sneer. It disappeared very quickly, as though nothing had happened.
Seeing Lu Rui like this, Xiaoqiao did not have the heart to stay here and talk to him with his Taiji Fist or say anything else.
Turning around, Xiaoqiao walked straight ahead.
"Do you know that there is a type of person in this world who doesn't need love no matter what? Just like how the emperors of ancient times would never be tempted by just one woman. The Three Palaces and Six Houses are his bargaining chip to consolidate their power." Lu Rui's voice sounded from behind Xiaoqiao.
Xiaoqiao stopped walking as a trace of thick ridicule flashed across her lips: "That's why I said you are sad. People who have never loved will never understand this feeling, and you … which happens to belong to this kind of person. "
"Whether or not Yubei is a child of the Lu Family and whether or not he has the right to inherit the Lu Family is not important at all to me, Yan Xiaoqiao. What I want is always him; Even if one day you were to obtain the Lu Family's inheritance, so what? You are destined to live a lonely life in a high place until you die of old age. "
Pausing, Xiaoqiao continued: "You're right, there is a type of person in this world who doesn't need love no matter what. At the same time … They are not loved by others, they are just like each other. "
As Lu Rui listened, the look in his eyes became even more serene and profound.
It was just a woman!
He never cared, with money and power, what kind of women did not, smart people never let themselves hang on the same rope. He, would not either.
When they were almost to the door, Xiaoqiao had already raised her hand and touched the ice-cold door handle.
However … At this moment.
She suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Rui with her unusually calm eyes: "Actually, I am a very weak and insignificant person. As a tiny pawn in the vast world, I am simply too small to be mentioned, I am afraid of pain, afraid of ghosts, afraid of darkness, afraid of separation, afraid of many things, and what I am most afraid of is Yubei leaving me."
"I'm afraid of too many things, but... For him, the mountains crumble and the earth crack. Even if the sky falls, I won't be afraid. Love, is a very magical thing, it will make people have a soft spot, but... It would also cause people to have armor on their bodies at the same time. If there really was a moment, I would be Yubei's armor, allowing him to wear it, blocking all of the wind, frost, rain, bright blades and dark arrows, you can hurt me a thousand times or ten thousand times, I can get blood on my head, and I can also be covered in wounds, but … I won't allow you to hurt him alone, so I will do everything I can to protect him. "
