Forbidden Love Chapter 9 (Part 3)
"I will deal with this matter." Dong Fang Ling coldly said, not wanting him to intervene. Looking at Binger"s face, Dong Fang Ling couldn’t help but to reach out his arms towards her, but she retreated farther away.
"Binger, you do not believe me?" Because of her withdrawal, Dong Fang Ling questioned her, his eyes narrowed and flashed with a dangerous glint.
"Are you sure you want to break up your engagement for me? If Lan Guifei (the royal concubine related to the Fang family), then wouldn’t I cause the fall of the Dong Fang House?" Her tear filled eyes were casted down, from the very beginning, she had known he did not belong to her. If she had not fallen for him, then if would have never have to be this painful.
"Do not worry, I will discuss this matter with Fang Yi. If I do not annul the engagement, then how can I marry you?” Dong Fang Ling looked at the misty eyed Bing’er, no longer did he try to bring her into his embrace. He understood, she truly loved him, if not, why would she have scruples about his decision.
Binger shook her head, she remembered the last time Fang Yi had arrived. With their close relationship, Fang Yi definitely looked forward to having him as a brother in law, how could Fang Yi let go of him, "What if they refuse to annul the marrage?"
"Even if they are not willing, they will… Even if they find Lady Fang, I am still no willing to marry a woman I do not love." His firm black pupil look into her clear eyes, expressing his resolute decision.
Dong Fang Ao looked at the couple in front of him, trying to think of a way to help his brother. If not, then he, who brought up this topic, will definitely die a miserable death.
"Umm ... Binger, what big brother said right, you should have more confidence in him. Fang Yi is not an unreasonable person, this matter will be resolved."
Binger’s clear eyes did not leave Dong Fang Ling’s face, her heart was struggling to decide if she should stay or leave.
Perceiving her struggling thoughts, Dong Fang Ling’s face color changed, his dark pupils looking into her wandering eyes.
"Binger, if you dare run away, even if I have to turn this world inside out, I will find you."
Her elegant face showed a hint of surprise, but quickly revealed a wry smile. He had understood her the best, to have him see through her thoughts so quickly.
Dong Fang Ao looked at Bing’er, thinking she could not dare to run away. If she would to escape, then his big brother…..cold sweat suddenly formed on his back.
As the couple struggle in their deadlock, the General Manager was seen hurrying into Guyue pavilion, bringing with him, big news: "Master, Gentleman Fang (Fing Yi) has come, he said Lady Fang has been found."
Almost as if physically stabbed in the heart, Binger’s footsteps staggered, her face devoid of blood. It seems as if the heavens had given her the answer, she is destined to leave.
Looking at her pale face, Dong Fang Ling couldn"t help but clench his fist.

The main hall of Dong fang House was filled with an atmosphere of stifling tension. At one side sat Dong Fang Ling whose face was masked with gloom, his sharp. His black pupils looked at the leisurely smiling man who was sitting on the other ebony chair sipping tea.
"I’ll say it again, I want to terminate the engagement, I will not marry Lady Fang Chu Chu."
The corner of Fang Yi’s lips twitched, he then placed the tea porcelain cup down.
"Dong Fang Ling, do you think I would agree to do that? We spent sixteen years, sixteen years to have finally found Chu Chu. Do you think with just your words, you can easily annul your marriage?
"And what if I insist on abrogating this engagement?"
"Then I will not hesitate to ask my maternal aunt to go and beg the emperor to publicly announcing this marriage. You would not disregard the lives of all the people in Dong Fang House, right? "
He (Dong Yi) did not want to make things difficult, considering their longtime friendship… but for the lifelong happiness of his sister... if he were to agree, how can he face his family when he goes back
"Are you threatening me?" Although Dong Fang Ling’s face did not disclose any emotions, his tightly clenched fist showed his anger and impatience.
Fang Yi looked at Dong Fang Ling for a while, to only shake his head, sighing: "I heard you have fallen in love with Deft Thief Luo Xuan’s daughter, and you intended to marry her. For a women, you unhesitantly declared your desire to abrogate your past arranged marriage… It seems you are really in love with her. I want to help you, but how can I go back to see my father and mother’s disappointed faces, and how can I tell this to Chu Chu?”
Not that he wanted to break the lovers apart, but to let him pa.s.s on such a good brother-in-law, not to mention just him (DY), but he doubts his parents would agree to this annulment.
"You insist I marry a woman I do not love… Do you think Chu Chu will be happy if I marry her?" Dong Fang Ling’s black pupil flashed with a certain light, his long finger tapped on the end of the armrest of his chair.
"You are threatening me now?" Fang Yi’s face sank. Even if a forcely plucked fruit was not sweet, he still wanted to get it for his sister.
"No, I am just cautioning you, if you insist that I marry Chu Chu. For a woman I do not love, I doubt I can treat her the well, and you can not blame me then.”
"Dong Ling!" Fang Yi was furious, glaring at the cold face man. This man ah! Although he had a poker face, with just his words, any man could go mad!
Just when Fang Yi clenched his fist with the intention of starting a fight, a pet.i.te figure rushed in from the outside. Without taking any time to calm her, the maid said in a heavily panting voice: "Young master! Binger has disappeared!”
Dong Fang Ling’s face paled, his whole body extruded a furious arua, his tall stature rushed out of the main hall in a blink of an eye. Fang Yi was stunned, he had never seen Dong Fang Ling’s face take such a drastic change, and he had thought he would never see such a scene in this life… Bing’er, that must have been Luo Xuan"s daughter.
"Xiao Qing, the person called Bing’er, is that the person that your young master wants to marry?"
"Yes." Xiaoqing stool a glance at Dong Yi, was it ok for the Fang House’s young master to know about Bing’er situation? Blame her for letting her guard down… because she did not pay attention, she gave Bing’er the opportunity to leave.
Fang Yimou looked at the entrance of the main hall, he should agree to Dong Fang Ling’s request?
--
Bing’er who had left Dong Fang House headed towards the outskirts of the city, her elegant face was filled with grievance, she did not want to the the cause the fall of Dong Fang House, moreover she did not want Dong Fang Ling to break the long built relationship with the Fang House because of her. So the only way to stop it all was for her to leave.
Her tear fill eyes did not dare to look back - if she were to look back, she was afraid she would not be able to leave. This trip to Luoyang, not only did she not only did not complete the deft of grat.i.tude, but instead, she lost a piece of her heart. Now she just wanted to find a quiet place, try to recover this ‘wound’, but she knew, in this lifetime, she would never forget him. Now she could only to back to the mountains to accompany her father.
Just as she was contemplating about her tragic future, when suddenly she was brought back by the sounds of fierce fighting. Bing’er curiously stepped forward to get a clearer look. Seeing what was going on, Bing’er was struck with anger. A group of boorishly dressed men were blocking a sedan’s path. These men were fighting against what seemed to be the guards of the sedan chair. Because the the guards were heavily outnumbered, they were losing.
Bing’er could no longer stand on the sidelines, she quickly joined the fight against the ambushers, and overturned the tides.
The lady who was sitting in the sedan had been anxious about escaping, she did not think a kind hearted girl would have helped her. After this girl had joined the battle, they were no longer losing, which greatly relieved her.
Bing’er had gotten several of the bandits, leaving only a few. One of the bandits glanced at his mate who was carrying a short knife. They both sprang into the sedan, aiming to kill the lady sitting in it.
No longer did Bing’er take her time. With her two palms she struck the 2 men in front of her, causing them to fall. She then jumped with her qing gong towards the lady in the sedan. She was able to push the lady out of the knife’s way, but Bing’er could not dodge in time and the weapon struck into her left chest.
Bing’er shouted in pain, she heavily kicked the men in front of her. Clutching her left chest that was continuously bleeding, Bing’er suddenly heard screaming accompanied with the sounds of footsteps. Darkness struck her and Bing’er soon fainted to the ground.
