Chapter 999: Chapter 1003 I Swear Chapter 999: Chapter 1003 I Swear “Yes,” Li Qi answered crisply, decisively, “Would you develop feelings for a pig you’re raising?”

“A pig?” Xie Motong let out a miserable laugh.

Not even as good as a dog, it seems!

Raise a dog for a long time, and you might grow attached.

Raise a pig, and it’s purely for the slaughter; naturally, there’d be no affection whatsoever.

Xie Motong shook her head sorrowfully, “Li Qi, I am, after all, the Young Lady of Xie Family. Treating me this way, aren’t you afraid my grandfather will come after you?”

Li Qi looked at her with scorn, “Xie Motong, your grandfather has long ceased to consider you as part of the Xie Family. If he still had any regard for you as his granddaughter, he wouldn’t let you kneel at my feet day after day, groveling. You know very well what you’ve done. Senior Master Xie tolerates no sand in his eyes, and he despises deceitful people like you the most. I advise you to stop dreaming. The Xie Family is a place you’ll never return to in this lifetime.”

Xie Motong raised her face to look at Li Qi, her gaze clinging, tears streaming down like rain, “I truly love you. Can’t you feel it at all? Yes, I have done wrong in the past, but no one is perfect. Is it not enough that I have corrected my ways? My heart is entirely sincere toward you, as heaven and earth can witness. Even if I had to die for you, I would be willing! I ask for nothing else, only to continue to stay by your side. Whatever you want me to do for you, I am willing. Is that also not possible?”

“Yes, it’s not possible,” Li Qi’s face gradually showed impatience, his fingers tapping rapidly on the armrest of the sofa, his speech quickening, “Xie Motong, stop wasting my time. If you don’t leave on your own, then I’ll have my bodyguards throw you out.”

Xie Motong let out a desolate laugh, tears falling even harder.

She got up from the ground, looking at Li Qi with a heartbreakingly tragic expression, “Why did I come back with you in the first place? I gave my heartfelt love to a dog, and you are even less compassionate than a dog!”

Tears clouded her eyes as she gazed at Li Qi, her slender body shaking violently, “Li Qi, you will regret this! Sooner or later, you will realize that there is no one in this world who loves you more than I do. You will never find someone who treats you better than I do in this lifetime. You will regret it, you definitely will.”

She was actually a very beautiful woman. With tears in her eyes and her exquisite body shaking intensely, it would have been easy to arouse a man’s protective instinct.

It’s just too bad that Li Qi didn’t seem all that manly.

“Then you’re bound to be disappointed,” Li Qi said with half-closed eyes and a lazy tone, “I asked you before I brought you back if you were willing to come with me, to be my dog. I even made it clear to you that by my side, you wouldn’t even have a place to stand, you could only kneel. Yet, you still agreed. In this lifetime, I, Li Qi, will either remain unwed or, if I do marry, it won’t be a lady of high birth, but it will certainly be someone righteous and upright, definitely not a tail-wagging, begging dog… Oh right, I forgot, you’re not a dog, you’re a pig, or maybe… even less than that?”

Facing Li Qi’s relentless contempt, Xie Motong’s face turned even paler.

At this moment, she was clearly aware that clinging on would not make Li Qi keep her; her dignity would only be further demeaned.

She wiped the tears from her face, straightened her spine, trying to appear strong, “Fine, I will leave. I swear, Li Qi, there will come a day when you will regret this!”

After speaking, she picked up the check from the coffee table, grabbed her things, and left without looking back.
