Yan Rouxi stared at the domineering man in front of her. His tall figure loomed over her, his grip strong as he pinned her wrists to the sheets. For a moment, her heart raced wildly, but she steadied her breath and finally spoke.
"No…" She swallowed, her eyes narrowing with determination. "Let's do this."
Gu Yixuan froze, clearly caught off guard. His brows furrowed. "Huh?"
"I said," she continued firmly, though her cheeks burned, "I will give you a chance to pursue me. But I'm telling you this clearly—if you fail, just like you promised, you will break off this marriage alliance and stop interfering in my life. Okay?"
Gu Yixuan's gaze darkened, his eyes burning with fire as if he wanted to see straight into her soul. Slowly, he nodded. "Okay."
He loosened his hold and started to push himself away, but before he could move far, Yan Rouxi's hand shot up. She grabbed his collar and tugged him back down.
