Chapter 273: Forced Kiss
"Zhi Ran, are you really going to reject me?" Mu Qi Zong's voice was low and hoarse, full of indescribable emotions. He held Lu Zhi Ran's shoulders tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
Lu Zhiran looked up and met Mu Qizong's fiery eyes, and her heart could not help but ripple. She knew Mu Qizong's feelings for her, and she also knew that she was not heartless to him. However, she was more aware of the responsibilities and missions on her shoulders, and she could not ignore the family because of her personal feelings.
"Qi Zong, although you and I are in love, I cannot agree to you at this moment." Lu Zhiran's voice was gentle but firm, like a spring breeze blowing through Mu Qi Zong's heart.
When Mu Qizong heard this, the anger in his heart burst out like a flood. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Lu Zhiran's lips. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and only the heartbeats of the two echoed in the night sky.
Lu Zhiran was shocked by Mu Qizong's sudden action and her eyes widened. She struggled to push him away, but Mu Qizong's strength clamped her tightly like an iron clamp. Her heart was filled with helplessness and fear, but more of it was disappointment and anger towards Mu Qizong.
"Qi Zong! Let me go!" Lu Zhiran finally broke free from Mu Qi Zong's restraints. She glared at him angrily, her voice trembling and firm.
Mu Qizong looked at Lu Zhiran's angry expression, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart became stronger. He didn't understand why Lu Zhiran rejected him. They obviously loved each other, so why couldn't she give up everything for him?
"Zhiran, tell me why?" Mu Qizon's voice was full of pain and confusion.
Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She looked at Mu Qizong's handsome and painful face, and a trace of pity welled up in her heart. But she knew that she had to harden her heart at this moment, otherwise it would only make both of them fall into deeper pain.
"Qi Zong, although you and I have a lot in common, family matters are more important than anything else. I cannot ignore my family because of my personal feelings." Lu Zhiran's voice was firm and powerful, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the night sky.
Mu Qizong felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard this. He understood Lu Zhiran's difficulties, but he couldn't let go of the resentment and anger in his heart. He stared at Lu Zhiran's beautiful face, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart forever.
"Zhi Ran, are you really going to give up our relationship for the sake of the family?" Mu Qi Zong's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of despair.
Lu Zhiran looked at Mu Qizong's painful face and felt a pang of pain in her heart. But she knew that she had to make a choice at this moment. She took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
"Qi Zong, I'm sorry." Lu Zhiran's voice was trembling and choked.
Hearing this, Mu Qizong's anger and unwillingness instantly turned into endless sadness. He looked at Lu Zhiran's resolute face, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. He knew that he could no longer save this relationship.
As the night deepened, the shadows of the two people stretched out very long in the moonlight. The distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther...
The moonlight was like water, falling on the bluestone slabs of the old house, casting mottled shadows. In the courtyard, an old locust tree stood quietly, its branches and leaves swaying in the wind, as if telling an unknown past.
In this quiet night, the confrontation between Lu Zhiran and Mu Qizong was broken by a sudden figure. A man in a black robe walked out from the darkness. He had a handsome face and deep eyes. It was Lu Zhiran's husband, Fu Yuzhang.
Fu Yuzhang's appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn. His eyes moved between Mu Qizong and Lu Zhiran, and finally fixed on their tightly clasped hands. At that moment, his eyes became sharp and cold, as if he wanted to see through the two of them.
"Zhiran, what's going on?" Fu Yuzhang's voice was low and cold, without a trace of emotion.
Lu Zhiran was startled by Fu Yuzhang's voice and trembled all over. She quickly let go of Mu Qizong's hand and took a few steps back. Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
"Yu Zhang, let me explain..." Lu Zhiran's voice was trembling and weak. She tried to explain it all, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Mu Qizong felt an inexplicable courage surge in his heart. He stood up, looked directly into Fu Yuzhang's eyes, and said firmly and forcefully: "Fu Yuzhang, since you have already seen it, why bother asking more questions? Ran and I are in love with each other, and we should be a match made in heaven. If you know what's good for you, you should take the initiative to withdraw."
Hearing this, Fu Yuzhang frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. He approached Mu Qizong step by step, his aura becoming stronger and stronger. Although Mu Qizong was not afraid, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"Mu Qi Zong, who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!" Fu Yuzhang's voice was cold and full of majesty. He waved his hand violently, and a powerful airflow instantly knocked Mu Qi Zong to the ground.
Mu Qizong was knocked to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to stand up, but his body seemed to be frozen and unable to move. He raised his head and looked at Fu Yuzhang standing in front of him, his eyes full of resentment and anger.
"Fu Yuzhang, how dare you do this to me!" Mu Qizon's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.
Fu Yuzhang ignored Mu Qizong's words. He turned to look at Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of disappointment and anger. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Zhiran, I always thought you were a person who was sensible and concerned about the overall situation. I didn't expect you to do such a thing. You really disappoint me."
Lu Zhiran felt a pain in her heart when she heard Fu Yuzhang's words. She knew she was wrong, but she also knew how important Fu Yuzhang was to her. She didn't want to lose him, and she didn't want to lose this family.
"Yu Zhang, I know I was wrong. But I really don't want to lose you. Please forgive me this time, and I promise I won't make such a mistake again." Lu Zhiran's voice was full of pleading and sobs.
Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran's tearful face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He loved her, but he also hated her. He hated her betrayal, and even more so her ignorance and naivety. However, when he saw her in such pain and pleading, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
"Zhiran, you know? I once thought that we could go on happily together forever. But now it seems that I was wrong." Fu Yuzhang's voice was full of helplessness and sadness.
