Chapter 1221: Chapter 1226: Why

Yang Yi arrived in New York, with only Bonnie following him.

Actually, it wasn’t that Yang Yi wanted to come, but that he had to be in New York immediately. Why? Because he still had a girlfriend or fiancée, after all.

This time Petra was really angry, because Yang Yi had disappeared for a long time, hadn’t made a call, and even turned off his phone, making it impossible to contact him.

No matter how forgiving Petra could be during their passionate phase, going a whole month without contact was still unbearable for her.

So when Yang Yi suddenly called and then suddenly appeared at the house, Petra was extremely angry. But after seeing Yang Yi’s face, her anger turned to confusion.

"Your face? What happened to your face, did you have plastic surgery?"

Yang Yi touched his own face and said with a wry smile, "Not bad, right?"

Petra’s face sank, and she said in a low voice, "What do you mean? Is this face the result of plastic surgery?"

Yang Yi sighed, opened his arms, but Petra showed no intention of hugging him, so Yang Yi could only awkwardly hug the air and say in a low voice, "Well, a minor accident occurred. My face... was struck by a lot of shattered glass and got disfigured, so I had to undergo plastic surgery while getting treatment, otherwise, it would be unviewable."

Petra immediately shifted from confusion to tension, but she still showed no intention of forgiving Yang Yi.

"A minor accident?"

Yang Yi scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Alright, it was an assassination attempt. Uh, as you can see, I’m still alive, so it’s no big deal, but..."

Petra stepped forward immediately, stood in front of Yang Yi, and asked anxiously, "Were you hurt?"

"Uh, yes."

Yang Yi pulled his T-shirt, revealing the scar on his shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "That’s why I only came back after healing."

Petra was shocked, then grabbed Yang Yi’s arm, saying, "What happened?"

"It was an assassination, because of a conflict of interest. Uh, let’s break up!"

Petra hesitated again and said, "What did you say?"

Yang Yi kept his head down, not daring to look Petra in the eyes, and said in a low voice, "Let’s break up because we’re really not suitable..."

Petra let go of his hand and stepped back, her face full of shock, but she didn’t seem too sad.

Yang Yi raised his head, shrugged helplessly at Petra, and said, "You see, the environment I live in, no, the environment I survive in is very dangerous, and you’re different. We aren’t from the same world at all. If you marry me, you’ll end up in a dangerous world like me."

Petra instinctively shook her head, and Yang Yi continued, "Remember? There was an incident while we were dining in the restaurant last time, and now it’s happened again. I want to quit, but it’s not a matter of wanting to or not. So I can’t be with you, honestly, you could end up being killed by association."

Ninety-eight percent of his heart really hoped Petra would break up with him, but the remaining one percent of reluctance was because he couldn’t bear to let go. Another one percent was because he needed to complete the task Aaron gave him.

Petra was innocent; Yang Yi already felt very guilty towards her. To be honest, before Xiao Ran had her accident, he did have some feelings for Petra. After all, people aren’t unfeeling plants. But now, he didn’t want to drag her into this anymore.

Petra remained silent for a long time, not saying a word. Yang Yi shrugged and said in a low voice, "I’m sorry."

Yang Yi took a step back, then turned to leave.

As Yang Yi reached the door, Petra rushed over and hugged him from behind.

"I don’t care!"

Yang Yi let out a heavy sigh, with a deep sigh in his heart as well.

What to do, what to do!

Petra sobbed uncontrollably and said, "I know breaking up is the wise choice, but what if I can’t do it? I’m a rational person, but what if I can’t leave you? You are the first man I truly loved, and I can’t bear to lose you, what then!"

What to do, Yang Yi also wanted to know what to do.

Gently prying Petra’s hands apart, this time Yang Yi truly wasn’t acting, it wasn’t a game of cat and mouse. But when he turned around, before he had a chance to speak, Petra’s lips came to him.

Petra gently touched the new scar on Yang Yi’s shoulder and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hasn’t hurt for a long time."

"Why not remove the scar too? Do you really think scars are a man’s badge of honor?"

"No, it’s really just that there hasn’t been time to deal with it. We needed to ensure the wound healed first, and then there was no time."

Yang Yi sighed, then said to Petra, "I think we should reconsider getting married. How about this, let’s not think about marriage for now. When I can guarantee I’ll be safe and I won’t have any ties to this world anymore, then we can consider marriage, okay?"

Petra’s hand paused for a moment, then she said in a low voice, "Are you in love with another woman?"

"No!"

Yang Yi said this with a guilty conscience, but his acting skills were unrivaled.

"I really don’t want to endanger you!"

Petra sighed and said, "If one day you fall in love with someone else, tell me, and I’ll leave you on my own, but I’m not afraid of danger! Compared to losing you, even death isn’t that scary. We could hire more bodyguards, right? I know you’re worried about my safety, and if I’m unprotected, you’ll be genuinely concerned. So I can accept having lots of bodyguards around, is that okay?"

What could Yang Yi say? All he could say was: "Yes, hire more bodyguards. I’ll find qualified ones for you, and also, I’ll get out of this situation as soon as possible. But if one day I truly..."

Petra interrupted, covering Yang Yi’s mouth, looking at him seriously and said, "Don’t say such things! If you want to leave this life, you can."

Yang Yi nodded and said in a low voice, "I hope so, I will do it as quickly as possible!"

Why did Aaron insist on Yang Yi resolving things with Petra so quickly? By rights, Yang Yi’s task was already complete, as the Medron Consortium had lost significant financial input. Whatever the Grey-cloaked People’s plans were, at least it had nothing to do with Petra now.

But why did Aaron still want Yang Yi to tie things up with Petra?

Yang Yi was puzzled, truly puzzled.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Yang Yi’s mind: could it be that Aaron’s target was not merely to disrupt the Medron Consortium’s financial input, but Petra herself?

With this notion in his head, Yang Yi couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, "Dear, are you working on any research projects right now?"
