Misa looked at Long Yi's gaze directed at her, and she understood. She realized that there was no need for him to say it out loud; she already knew what was on his mind, but his thoughts were too foolish!
She put down the jade pendant and walked to his side, reaching out to tightly grasp his arm. With tears of grievance in her eyes, she said to him, "I forbid you from looking for Wushuang. I forbid you from stepping foot in Las Vegas, and I absolutely do not allow you to joke with your own life. This is absolutely not allowed!"
" Misa, please don't be like this. I'm just going to ask Wushuang why she returned our token of love. I will come back; I promise I will return safely." He tried to pull Misa's hand away from him, but she clung to him as if she had made up her mind, refusing to let go.
"You big fool, the biggest fool in the world! Wushuang is already married to Rafas. As a woman, I understand Wushuang's feelings the most. No matter what you do, she will never come back to you!" Misa's emotions grew more intense. Did it really have to take such extreme measures for her to wake him up?
Yamamoto Ryuichi looked at Misa, not understanding what she meant by this.
Since she had spoken, she continued to express her thoughts: "Every woman cares about her purity, and Wushuang is no exception. In her eyes, a pure body is more important than anything else. However, her body has already been possessed and violated by Rafas; she is even pregnant with that man's child! You keep saying you don't mind and that you can accept her having another man's child, but Wushuang does mind. She cannot be with you while carrying a dirty body; that would be unfair to you. Do you understand?"
"I don't mind; I swear I really don't mind. I know Wushuang was forced into this; none of it was voluntary. I can accept it!" Yamamoto Ryuichi emphasized repeatedly. In his heart, his princess would always be the purest and noblest.
Long Yi's words were firm but deeply hurt Misa's heart. Her feelings for Long Yi were no less than his obsession with Wushuang. But why? Why wouldn't he accept her? Despite Wushuang rejecting him time and again, he remained so steadfast?
She looked helplessly at Long Yi before her, tears streaming down her face as she softly said, "You may not mind, but Wushuang cannot accept this reality."
"Long Yi, give up on Wushuang. There is no possibility for you two anymore. She has already returned this jade pendant to you. Why do you still miss her so much? Why does your heart only hold her? Why can't you see me standing in front of you? Why can't you love me?" A series of questions poured out—these were the questions she had always wanted to ask.
Misa's emotions began to crumble as she tightly embraced Long Yi, burying her face in his chest and feeling the warmth of his embrace...
Yamamoto Ryuichi felt guilty as he held her close. He understood Misa's feelings; he just didn't know how to accept her. The shadow of Wushuang had always resided in his heart, making it incredibly difficult for him to forget his deepest memories.
"Misa, I'm sorry..." He could only say these few words as he rested against her hair.
"No... I don't want you to say sorry to me, I want you to say you love me!" Misa was almost driven mad by him, her small hands tightly gripping his clothes. She really wanted to hear him say those words to her.
Yamamoto Ryuichi paused for a moment, then slowly said to her, "Misa, I love you, I truly love you very much! But my love for you is not the kind of love between lovers; it is familial love. I see you as my most adorable little sister..."
Misa had initially felt a bit happy, but after hearing his following words, her heart fell from the clouds back to the ground, leaving her truly sad.
"Woo woo woo... I hate you, Yamamoto Ryuichi! I hate you! Why can't you accept me? My heart and my life are already yours. If I told you now that I'm pregnant with your child, would you still not love me?" Tears streamed down her face as she recalled that night when he held her, the feeling of him rushing inside her body. She wished that moment could last a lifetime.
Yamamoto Ryuichi was startled. Pregnant? How could that be possible? They had only had that one accident, and it had been several months since then. She couldn't possibly be carrying his child.
"Misa, don't say that. If you really are pregnant with my child, I would be willing to marry you because it is my responsibility!" He made it clear that this was a responsibility and did not mean he loved her.
Misa gradually stopped crying and adjusted her emotions. No matter what she said or did, he would not shift his heart towards her. Even if she used the child to threaten him, he would only fulfill his responsibility.
"Long Yi, even if you hate me, I won't let you go find Wushuang. I absolutely won't let you go to Las Vegas to seek death!" With those words, Misa firmly stood in front of him, blocking his way.
Yamamoto Ryuichi looked at the determined Misa and then glanced back at the jade pendant quietly lying on the table. He sighed and said, "I just want to ask her one last question!"
"Even so, there's no need to specifically run to Las Vegas for that. I can help you get in touch with Wushuang by phone, but you must promise me again not to go to Las Vegas for personal reasons regarding Wushuang!" Misa said decisively. Her words were serious and did not sound like a joke.
"Okay, I promise you! But when can I contact Wushuang?" He promised Misa once more.
"In three days, I will make sure Wushuang calls you. By then, I'll let you know!" Misa released her hand that had been blocking him. Now that she had his promise, she wasn't afraid of him running away.
Leaving his side, Misa returned to her room. She wondered how she could get Wushuang to call Long Yi. Lying on the bed and thinking it over, she realized she might have to ask for his help.
Shouya has not been seen by anyone lately, and no one knows where he has gone. Even Yan Wushuang went to Xinya's house looking for him but didn't find him there; it's quite strange!
"Ring..." The personal phone he carries rang, and Yan Wushuang wondered who it could be.
Taking out the phone, she saw that everyone was wondering where he had run off to, and just as she was thinking about him, he called: "Hello, Brother Shouya, where have you been hiding? Everyone is looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What for? I'm busy with an experiment right now; it's for Xinya's eyes, so I can't be disturbed!" Shouya had been secluded in his lab in New York and didn't expect an unexpected visitor would come looking for him.
Yan Wushuang snorted coldly and replied, "It seems like you're the one disturbing me right now."
Shouya felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Let's not digress. I have something to tell you. Listen carefully. The jade pendant you sent to Yamamoto Ryuichi in Japan a few days ago has arrived. He is very excited and wants to come to Las Vegas to clarify things with you. However, Yamamoto Misa stopped him. You need to call him and tell him directly that the pendant was sent by you so that he can completely let go of this idea. Do you understand, Wushuang?"
Yan Wushuang didn't expect the general to be so persistent. She couldn't believe he would risk coming to Las Vegas over this matter; did he really not care about his life?
Nodding, Wushuang replied with deep guilt, "I understand, but I don't have his contact information."
"I have it here. Remember it well, but you need to get a new SIM card to call him. Don't let him know your current number; I'm afraid if he finds out, he'll stubbornly keep bothering you," Shouya advised her, also concerned that Lefas might get angry.
"I got it! I'm actually outside right now; I'll go buy a temporary SIM card immediately!" After hearing Shouya's instructions, Yan Wushuang looked around for the driver to find a place where she could buy a temporary phone card.
Meanwhile, Shouya had already informed Yan Wushuang, and Yamamoto Misa immediately notified Long Yi, telling him not to go anywhere in the study because Wushuang would be calling him soon.
Yamamoto Ryuichi was both happy and excited as he looked at the phone on the table, quietly waiting...
Yan Wushuang took the temporary SIM card bought by the driver and instructed both the driver and bodyguard to wait outside the car. After installing the SIM card and pulling out the note with the recorded number, she dialed the number on the paper and waited for a response on the other end.
Yamamoto Ryuichi kept staring at the phone, and finally, the ringtone rang. He quickly picked up the phone and held it to his ear, feeling excited and nervous as he opened his lips, "Shuang'er, is that you?"
Listening to the weary and melancholic voice on the other end, Yan Wushuang took a deep breath and said lightly, "General, it's me..."
The familiar voice surrounded him, and Yamamoto Ryuichi tightly gripped the Phoenix Pendant in his hand. How should he start asking her?
"Misa went to find Brother Shouya; he told me you had something you wanted to ask me, right?" Her voice was as soft as before; in front of him, she would always be that delicate and precious Princess Wushuang.
Yamamoto Ryuichi felt at a loss for words; he didn't know how to ask her. But if he missed this opportunity, it might be hard to find another.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to be direct: "Wushuang, I want to know if you personally sent this jade pendant back to me?"
"Yes... I had Lefas send it to you!" She did not deny it; since it was the truth, she had no reason to hide anything from him.
"Why? Have you forgotten what this pendant represents? Don't you know how precious it is?" Wushuang's straightforward answer left Yamamoto Ryuichi unable to accept reality.
Yan Wushuang sat alone in the car, feeling deeply guilty...
"General, I know how precious this pendant is, which is why I sent it to you! I am now Lefas's wife; I don't deserve such a precious pendant. You should give it to Misa; only Misa is truly worthy of being its owner."
Once, she cherished that pendant so much, but time flowed like water, and everything could never return. Perhaps it was destined that Lefas would undergo that upheaval and that she would cross many obstacles from the distant Great Yan Kingdom to be by his side. It was also destined that a woman more suitable for the General than herself would appear beside him... Yamamoto Misa!
