Chapter 874 - Firing the Gun!
Lu Jinwen was actually holding a gun to himself, banking on his life to get Lin Xuanji to stay.
Jun Mosheng’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Lu Jinwen, then at Lin Xuanji. Lin Xuanji’s footsteps slowed and stopped.
Jun Mosheng gave a final sigh in his heart. He knew that even if he tried his whole life, he would never be able to enter Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji’s world. It was too intense and terrifying.
In fact, all those years ago when he and Xuanji had put on an act with him pressing down on her, Lu Jinwen had rushed to her and kicked the door down. It was then that he knew.
It was only then that Lin Xuanji stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lu Jinwen. Lu Jinwen who was frozen on the spot gradually softened. She had stopped. He had managed to get her to stay!
He quickly ran up to her and reached out to pull her into his embrace.
He buried his head in her fragrant neck and pressed his soft lips deeply and lovingly against her hair. He mumbled huskily, “Xuanji, I knew that you would stay. I knew you wouldn’t be able to leave me. I knew that you still loved me as much as I love you.”
The crowd was silent.
As though they had dog food shoved down their throat. No one expected this emperor of the Capital to become such a loyal dog after being subdued by a woman.
This was probably Lu Jinwen’s type of love confession. He had always been strong-willed and tyrannical.
Lin Xuanji’s face remained unchanged. She shook her head. “Lu Jinwen, it’s not possible. No matter what you do, I will be leaving.”
Before she was even finished with her words, Lu Jinwen raised his arms and put the gun to his head again.
“If you leave now, I’ll kill myself. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe that you would be so heartless towards me.”
Lin Xuanji took one look at him, and turned her back.
She was leaving.
In the end, she was still leaving!
His life and death already had nothing to do with her. Even if he were to die, she would not look back at him again.
This knowledge made Lu Jinwen feel as though his heart had been emptied. “Lin Xuanji!” he screamed her name, and with bloodshot eyes, pulled the trigger.
Someone screamed. Lu Jinwen had really shot himself!
He had shot himself at point-blank range!
The bullet would bore through his brain, and splatter blood all over the place.
Lu Jinwen was going to die.
But the bullet that everyone was expecting, never appeared. There were no bullets in the gun. He had fired a blank.
Lu Jinwen’s handsome features turned sharp and cold. He pressed his thin lips hard together tightly, until it was only a white line. He looked at the gun in his hand. Why were there no bullets?
At this moment, Lin Xuanji’s cold, taunting laugh sounded beside his ear. “Lu Jinwen, what’s the meaning of this act?”
Lu Jinwen raised his eyes to look at Lin Xuanji. She stood beside the door, looking at him lightly.
She knew he had done it on purpose!
He had nothing!
Now he really had nothing!
His muscles tensed as his red-rimmed eyes burned. He glared viciously at Butler Ye.
Butler Ye lowered his head.
Lin Xuanji looked over at Butler Ye as well. She already knew that there were no bullets in the gun, or else it was impossible that Butler Ye didn’t react even when Lu Jinwen held a gun to his head.
Lu Jinwen raised his hands and threw his gun to the ground. The gun landed on the floor and shattered the silence.
The atmosphere of the entire main hall was thick with tension, when an old, yet dignified voice sounded in everyone’s ears. “Lu Jinwen, have you had enough?”
