"What are you afraid of, Weiwei?" Gu Ziqian's voice echoed inside the car. Outside, the night scenery flew by, but inside, the atmosphere was tense. Ever since they had left that heavy door behind, Xia Weiwei had been enveloped in an indescribable sense of oppression. Gu Ziqian seemed to have sensed the turmoil within her, finally breaking the silence as they sped through the dark night.
Xia Weiwei's palms were slightly sweaty, her gaze lowered, eyes shifting, unable to meet Gu Ziqian's. She could feel the sharpness in his gaze, as if it wanted to pierce through her soul and uncover the deepest corners of her heart.
"I..." She began softly, but didn't know how to continue. Her words were cut off by Gu Ziqian's piercing gaze. His eyes, like blades, cut across her face, as if waiting for her to give a clear answer.
"Are you afraid of me, or are you afraid of the truth?" Gu Ziqian's tone was cold, tinged with a challenge, as if forcing her to confront the fears within her heart.
Xia Weiwei was silent for a moment before finally lifting her head, meeting his gaze with determination. She had never thought she would be pushed to this point by a man, not just in a matter of life and death, but also so close to the edge of her soul. She remembered the lingering sense of oppression she had felt earlier, knowing she could no longer continue to avoid it.
"I'm not afraid of you, nor am I afraid of the truth." Her voice was clear and firm, as if responding to Gu Ziqian's provocation. "I'm only afraid... afraid of losing myself in the darkness you bring, never being able to return."
Gu Ziqian's lips curled into a slight, meaningful smile. He leaned closer to Xia Weiwei, his fingers gently brushing her cheek. The cold touch sent a shiver down her spine.
"You should know, from the moment you stepped into my world, there was no turning back." Gu Ziqian's voice was deep and magnetic, each word carrying an invisible weight that struck deep into Xia Weiwei's heart.
Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, as if the entire world had frozen in that moment, leaving only the invisible tension between her and Gu Ziqian. Xia Weiwei took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She couldn't show any weakness now, because she knew Gu Ziqian would not tolerate anyone defying his will.
"I know, but I'm not afraid." Xia Weiwei met his gaze, responding with determination. "Since I chose to stand by your side, nothing can make me back down. Whether the future holds light or darkness, I will walk with you."
Gu Ziqian's eyes deepened, and he found himself more intrigued by the woman in front of him. Her resilience, her courage, and her unwillingness to compromise were qualities he had never seen in anyone else. She was not a woman who would easily submit; on the contrary, she possessed a unique strength that awakened something primal within him.
"Good." Gu Ziqian nodded slightly, a glint of appreciation in his eyes. "You've surprised me, Weiwei. Few people have ever stood so firmly before me. Do you know what that means?"
Xia Weiwei frowned slightly, guessing the answer but choosing to remain silent. She was unwilling to voice it, knowing that once said, there would be no turning back.
Seeing her silence, Gu Ziqian's smile deepened. He leaned closer, his voice low and tempting, like a ghost in the midnight: "It means you've earned my complete trust, Weiwei. You will become the most important person in my world, even more than anyone else."
Xia Weiwei's heart skipped a beat, feeling the strong possessiveness radiating from Gu Ziqian, as if he wanted to consume her entirely. She knew this was not just trust, but also an invisible bond that, once entered, could never be broken.
