Jiang Yating instinctively closed her eyes, silently counting down the moments of her life in her mind. After counting to over ten and realizing nothing had happened, she slowly opened her eyes. The cold muzzle of the gun was still pressed against her temple, and the person who had just fired was Shangguan Yiting.
Shangguan Shaoyi narrowed his eyes, his ink-black gaze fixed on Shangguan Yiting. His expression revealed no emotion, but his cold voice sent chills down one's spine. "Sister, why did you fire a blank?"
"What do you mean? You need to calm down. Don't come back and try to kill your wife just because you've heard some rumors outside." Shangguan Yiting was furious, her fair face flushed red.
He slightly turned his head, his brows furrowing tighter. "Cheng Mosu is my wife; everyone knows that."
"But is that person really Cheng Mosu?" Shangguan Yiting looked into his pitch-black pupils, seeing the uncontrollable anger within them. She gently raised her fingertips and pointed directly at Jiang Yating. "Look clearly; this is the woman you vowed to cherish for a lifetime in front of the priest. She is the mother of your soon-to-be-born child, yet you want to kill her for a woman whose identity as Cheng Mosu is uncertain. You've truly lost your mind!"
"Yes, I have lost my mind." He repeated her words, knowing he should calm down. However, just thinking about Cheng Mosu losing her family and her helpless appearance made it impossible for him to suppress his raging anger. His cold eyes became sharp blades, sweeping toward Jiang Yating and sending a chill through her.
He still did not loosen his grip, his tone icy. "Hey, tell me, did you send someone to kill Cheng Mosu?"
Seeing his determined expression, Jiang Yating instantly understood that Shangguan Shaoyi had long known Cheng Mosu was still alive. He had not pointed it out before out of respect for Cheng Mosu's own choice. If she had remained discreet and not attempted to assassinate Cheng Mosu, they could have continued living their lives. But now that Cheng Mosu's father had been killed because of her, how could he possibly ignore it? At this point, what was there left for her to hide?
Jiang Yating moved her lips and uttered one word: "Yes."
"Yating, you!" Shangguan Yiting hurriedly interrupted her; if she continued like this, it would truly provoke Shangguan Shaoyi's murderous intent!
Shangguan Shaoyi's bright eyes were filled with anger as he raised an eyebrow slightly. His voice remained cold but now carried a hint of ruthlessness. "Sister, she has admitted it herself; what else is there to say? If someone has killed, they must pay with their life."
"But... but she is carrying our Shangguan family's..."
"I know that if it weren't for this matter, Jiang Yating would have died a thousand times already." He showed no signs of wavering. Jiang Yating looked at his chiseled Handsome Face, feeling a chill envelop her heart, and her voice trembled as she said, "Shaoyi, I know you want to kill me, but have you considered that if I die, you will completely sever ties with the Jiang Family?"
He snorted coldly, his voice suddenly rising a few notches, his brows furrowed in a proud expression that commanded attention. "That's just fine; I've never liked that old thief Jiang Shanghao anyway."
Jiang Yating let out a cold laugh, lowering her head to look at her protruding belly. No matter what methods she employed or how much effort she expended, she would not receive even a shred of his pity.
Shangguan Yiting's gaze shifted between the two of them; she knew something significant was about to happen today, but she had to do everything in her power to stop it.
Shangguan Yiting looked at Shangguan Shaoyi, observing the deep gaze beneath his sharp brows. She gently tugged at the corners of her mouth and whispered, "No matter what, I won't let you kill Yating. If you kill her, it will be two lives lost!"
He raised an eyebrow as if declaring his indifference. A chill ran through Shangguan Yiting, and she slightly closed her Eyes, softening her voice. She looked at the vase on the windowsill, which held red and white hyacinths. These flowers are sown in autumn, sprout in February of the following year, bloom in April, and wither by June. Such careful cultivation mirrored her own life.
"Do you remember Dad?" Her Eyelashes trembled lightly, and the blush on her snow-white skin resembled a dancing rainbow gown, as if she were exhausting her life to shine brightly.
He didn't understand what his sister was trying to say but nodded nonetheless. He listened as Shangguan Yiting continued, "When we were young, you weren't close to Dad. He hit you and scolded you; he had too high expectations of you. You were silent and withdrawn. In our family, I was one of the few who could get close to you."
His gaze softened slightly as he smiled faintly. Shangguan Yiting stepped closer to him, a subtle Fragrance wafting through the air. "Our mother passed away early. I not only see you as my brother but sometimes as my son. When you first achieved military merit, I can't express how happy I was. In my life, you are the most important person to me. I always keep the interests of the Shangguan Family in mind while also planning for your future."
"I know you're angry because of Yating's actions; you're furious and want her to pay with her life. But I can't let you do that because I know you'll regret it. The child in her womb may not be someone you like, but it's still a life. You may appear cold but have a kind heart; I don't want you to do something you'll regret."
He furrowed his brows tightly as he watched her step closer to him, blooming with a beautiful smile. "But I know that without taking action, your inner anger will be hard to quell. Actually, there's something I've deceived you about; I'm not pregnant. I said that back then just to prevent you from killing Zhu Ye Feng. I've seen everyone around me leave one by one; while Zhu Ye Feng isn't great, he is still my husband, and I don't want to lose him too."
His pupils constricted slightly as an ominous premonition swept through him; his hand holding the gun slowly dropped down as a chill settled between his brows. He saw Shangguan Yiting give him a sorrowful smile and said, "Yating cannot die. I know you're truly angry; then let my life be exchanged for hers. Please spare her; my husband owes you this debt, and I'll repay it too..."
Her voice slowly faded away, and Shangguan Shaoyi suddenly froze, reaching out to snatch the gun from Shangguan Yiting's hand. However, Shangguan Yiting had already anticipated this and, without any hesitation, aimed at her Sun point and pulled the trigger. The gunshot echoed in the desolate air, and the blood that gushed out stained her fair cheek. She fell straight back, leaving a grim red mark on the cashmere carpet.
"Sister!" he shouted, hurriedly holding her in his arms. Jiang Yating finally came to her senses from the shock and frantically picked up the microphone to call for a Doctor, but it was too late; that Bullet extinguished her breath and her past.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down Jiang Yating's cheeks; her lips were extremely pale, and her petite body slid onto the carpet. Fingertips trembled as they grasped Shangguan Yiting's hand, her voice shaking severely, "What kind of sin have I committed!"
Shangguan Shaoyi's gaze slowly lifted; the extreme cold made her shiver. Now it was not just Shangguan Shaoyi who felt this way; even she herself wished to end her own life.
