Chapter 853: Let Her Go

He Xiyan looked at Mo Yixuan who seemed very anxious and paused for a moment before she said, “I’m going back to Ming City.”

She looked resolute and knew that she couldn’t afford to show any signs of wavering now that she was held prisoner by him. She would go crazy if this carried on.

Mo Yixuan’s forehead broke out in cold sweat and beads of sweat ran down his forehead in large droplets. His face was flushed red and he was so flustered that he didn’t know where to put his hands.

“Yan Yan, get off there. I’ll send you to Ming City if you come down, so could you please step off the ledge?” Mo Yixuan said anxiously. His heart raced wildly without any sense of rhythm. All he wanted was for her to step off the ledge. This was all he was praying for.

He Xiyan pounded a fist against the glass window in annoyance and nearly toppled over when she raised her hand.

“If you refuse to let me go, I’ll kill myself today,” she said with determination.

She didn’t actually mean to kill herself but she looked so determined that Mo Yixuan truly believed that she meant what she said.

Mo Yixuan’s back broke out in cold sweat.

He didn’t dare to take another step forward since he was so afraid that she would truly jump off in a fit of anger. He was also afraid that his actions might only serve to agitate her even further.

He would go crazy if anything were to happen to her.

He didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and determined after she lost her memory.

“Yan Yan, come down. I promise that I’ll let you go,” he said and he was so worried that his voice quivered.

He didn’t fear anything but he was terrified that he had actually provoked such an absurd and frightening reaction from her.

She had already attempted suicide once before.

He was afraid and didn’t want her to do it a second time. He wouldn’t be able to bear the pain if she were to leave this world.

He Xiyan paused and she only moved her feet slowly after she saw the promise in his eyes.

She slowly lifted her feet back up.

Mo Yixuan rushed over as she was hauling herself back up, grabbed her waist and carried her back into the room.

He finally relaxed when her feet were back on firm ground. He breathed heavily and his panic was still written all over his face.

He had always been so calm and composed at work and he never shown such panic in his life.

He Xiyan gripped her hands tightly and looked at Mo Yixuan recklessly and with irritation.

“Let me go. Let me go right now!” She yelled loudly and her face was extremely flushed because she was so agitated and even her eyes were bloodshot, as though she was drunk. Her actions were rash and unpredictable.

Mo Yixuan nodded and tried to put an arm around her shoulder but she avoided him once again.

A flash of sorrow crossed his eyes as he looked at his arm that hung limply mid-air.

“Yan Yan, please eat something. I’ll send you back to Ming City after you’ve had breakfast. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfil my promises,” he said softly.

He truly meant what he said this time. First, her actions earlier had terrified him and he was more afraid of her attempting suicide than he was of her returning back to the mute. Second, the police have been alerted and he didn’t want his uncle to be caught in a difficult position, and this was why he was forced to let her go.

“I’m not eating. Let me go!” she yelled once more. Her eyes were red and bloodshot and she looked extremely enraged and irritable.

Mo Yixuan sighed and shook his head in resignation. He finally opened the iron gates to allow her to go back to Ming City. Naturally, he planned to tag along as well.
