Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Holding Her in His Arms_1

Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to voice her answer. She merely asked in an indifferent tone, “Are you really not afraid of being isolated?”

As soon as she said it, she regretted it.

What was the point of asking that question? He had already declared that he wouldn’t let go. And as long as he was willing, she wouldn’t back out either.

Dongfang Yu glanced at her and responded with a curved lips, “Why, are you worried?”

Hai Xiaotang remained silent, “Do you think that’s possible?”

“Why not?” Dongfang Yu’s voice grew darker, “I know you care about this.”

Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to rebut, he spoke again.

“Of course, it’s not because you care about me. You just don’t want to owe me too much.”

“…” Hai Xiaotang was left speechless. She did indeed care a great deal about whether Dongfang Yu would be abandoned by everyone.

Their trade was made under their mutual consent.

If he was in a tough spot, she wouldn’t force him…

Dongfang Yu comforted her, “Don’t worry. No one can threaten me. What they’re actually afraid of is my disloyalty to them.”

Not him being afraid they would alienate him…

Hai Xiaotang was slightly taken aback.

Right, he was Dongfang Yu, the financial magnate ruling Asia.

He already stood at the top of the world. Who could threaten him, and who would genuinely want to be abandoned by him?

In this world where power determines everything, he was the rule.

But, his parents definitely wouldn’t be afraid of him.

However, she was also selfish. If he was willing to trade with her, she wouldn’t reject him actively.

All she wanted was her grandfather to keep living healthily…

In the end, they were both selfish, simply seeking to satisfy their individual needs.

Hai Xiaotang never thought that she and Dongfang Yu would end up in this situation.

All along, she assumed that they would either be together or cut ties completely. But she didn’t expect such an outcome, to be together just for the sake of a deal.

In fact, such a relationship was the most abnormal and prone to issues.

But they had no other choices…

Lost in her thoughts as she gazed out the window, Hai Xiaotang noticed after a while that they were not on the way back.

Dongfang Yu had taken a detour and was driving towards the sea!

“Where are we going?” Hai Xiaotang asked, puzzled.

Dongfang Yu answered, “To spend a night by the sea where it’s peaceful.”

He really didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone, by all the persuasion and force.

However, just as he finished speaking, a car came speeding from around the bend ahead, heading straight towards them!

“Screech-” Dongfang Yu sharply turned the steering wheel. The car narrowly avoided collision, but the force was too great, and the car suddenly flipped off the road, rolling away!

But in that split second, Dongfang Yu pulled Hai Xiaotang into his arms, protecting her tightly in his embrace!

“Boom-” The car finally stopped rolling, overturned on the beach.

This series of sudden events happened so quickly, Hai Xiaotang hadn’t fully processed everything when it was all over.

She opened her eyes in a daze, finding herself in Dongfang Yu’s arms.

He held her tightly, her face against his chest, his heartbeat clearly audible.

“Dongfang Yu…” Hai Xiaotang called his name instinctively.

The man shifted slightly, slowly regaining consciousness from the state of dizziness.

The next second, he looked down anxiously at Hai Xiaotang, “How are you? Are you injured?!”

“I’m alright, what about you?”

“Are you really okay?!” Dongfang Yu asked again, still worried, completely forgetting her question.

Hai Xiaotang moved her numb body, “I’m fine…”

Dongfang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed the car door open forcefully, pushed Hai Xiaotang out first, and then climbed out himself.

Luckily, they were both really unharmed.
