CHAPTER 937: CHAPTER 937: IF THE SOFT APPROACH DOESN’T WORK, USE THE HARD APPROACH

He’s intentionally forcing her to agree, Lin Xinlan feels her anger rising.

"I told you to stop! Or else I’ll get mad!" Lin Xinlan finally explodes in anger, and stops struggling.

Rong Shaoze knows she’s truly angry now.

If he continues, she’ll surely get even angrier.

He has no choice but to stop, but his arms still hold her tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Xinlan, can’t you just stay?" Rong Shaoze pleads, looking at her pathetically.

Lin Xinlan bites her lip and says, "I can’t stay, I have to go back to take care of Xiaocong and Xiaotian."

"I’ll have someone bring them over." Rong Shaoze quickly suggests.

Lin Xinlan shakes her head, "Do you really understand what I mean? Regardless of why you’re marrying Wushuang, I can’t live with both of you."

"What am I supposed to be here for, and under what identity will I stay here? You better let me return to Phoenix Island, focus on your matters, and we’ll discuss our issues a year later."

A year later, who knows what the situation will be.

If he lets her leave, he’d be an absolute fool.

Rong Shaoze pressed his lips tight and said seriously, "Xinlan, if you didn’t know the truth, I could let you stay on Phoenix Island and find you a year later without worry. But since you do know, I can’t allow you out of my sight..."

Give her a year, letting her brood alone.

And if she ends up deciding to leave him...

He’d probably die from frustration.

So, he’ll smother any possibility in its cradle, he wants to dominate and captivate her heart.

He won’t give her any chance to escape.

Listening to his words, Lin Xinlan was utterly furious.

"You say you won’t let me leave, does that mean I won’t? Get out of the way, I’ll find Xu Yao right now to help me leave!"

She pushed against his body, but Rong Shaoze held her tighter.

"No need to look for him, he’s already left!" he suddenly said calmly.

"Left?!"

Rong Shaoze nodded, "Yes, he’s already gone. And the people on this island can’t leave on their own unless they have a task or Xuanyuan Wushuang’s approval. You only have one choice now, and that’s to stay!"

"You..." Lin Xinlan turned pale with anger.

"No wonder you agreed for Xu Yao to bring me to see you. You were set on making sure I come without a path back, weren’t you?!"

At this point, Rong Shaoze felt he needed to take a hard stance.

Since she won’t accept softness, try hardness.

"You’re right, once I knew you discovered the truth and fainted, I understood how tormented you are inside."

"Even though I’ve lost my memory, I know your nature is strong. After suffering, you’d certainly force yourself to cut off emotions towards me."

"How could I permit you not to love me? That’s why I had Xu Yao bring you here, so I could watch over you personally, keeping you from slipping out of my view!"

"You..." Lin Xinlan was so furious she didn’t know what to say.

Rong Shaoze softened his tone and spoke tenderly, "When you arrived, I made arrangements. Now Xiaocong and Xiaotian are being cared for, you don’t need to worry about them. If you miss them, you can call or video chat with them."

"Xinlan, stay with me, won’t you? Just for a year. During this time, I’m constantly thinking of you. Without you by my side, life has truly been difficult."
