I thought you liked taking revenge for her? Do it, then. I was the one who hit her, and I’m going to do it again. I’m not scared of you or whatever you’re going to do to me, be it murder or something else.
Xia Ruoxin stood up, blood dripping down to the floor.
Her blood was hot, but her heart was cold.
I’m sorry, Ruoxin.
Chu Lui reached his hand out to check her wound. She was bleeding and needed to treat it immediately.
Let’s go treat it.
His hand just touched her when she swatted it away harshly.
I don’t need your false kindness. Don’t forget that you were the one who made me this way. It’s you, Chu Lui. You.
Xia Ruoxin’s body swayed slightly. She caught a glimpse of the woman behind Chu Lui smiling, and smiling very gleefully at that.
Just in time, Gao Yi heard voices from the washroom and dashed over.
Ruoxin…
Gao Yi walked towards her urgently. Upon seeing Xia Ruoxin’s forehead, his eyes widened. He covered her injury with his hand immediately and stared coldly at Chu Lui and the woman behind him, who did not manage to hide her smile in time.
He resisted the urge to hit them. They were in the hospital, and it wasn’t time for him to be beating people up anyway. Xia Ruoxin needed to get treated immediately. She had lost so much blood, and he wasn’t sure whether she would need stitches. He put his arms around and led her out. He stared icily at Li Manni when they walked past her. Li Manni flinched and took a step back. The iciness and warning in his eyes made her heart shake.
Lui…
When the washroom was only left with the two of them, Li Manni stepped towards him and tugged at his hand.
It wasn’t your fault, Lui. It was all me. If I…
She placed her hand on her cheek, making her perfect face swollen again.
You don’t have to say anything, Manni.
Chu Lui turned around, his eyes heavy dark blue as if he knew everything, making Li Manni shiver despite herself.
Chu Lui lightly stroke Li Manni’s cheek, and then he applied pressure, making Li Manni wrinkle her brows in pain.
Lui, you’re hurting me!
She whimpered.
Manni, stop doing this kind of things anymore. I said before that I wouldn’t divorce you for the sake of this child.
Chu Lui said calmly. His eyes shifted from her face to her stomach.
I’ll give you everything you want. There’s no need for you to plot against anyone. You know, this smile doesn’t suit you; neither do these tears. I really want to know now if the kind Li Manni from the past really existed.
I don’t know how many more sides there are to you that I’ve never seen or knew. How many more things did you do that I didn’t realize and didn’t know? I’ve never noticed how scheming you could be, but there’s really no need for that anymore.
Chu Lui loosened his hand and stepped outside.
Don’t make me disappointed, Manni. I hope this kind of thing will not happen again. I won’t meet her anymore. It’s like you said, it’s impossible for me and her. Every time I appear, it brings her pain. There’s no need for you to do such unnecessary things anymore.
Li Manni’s face turned deathly pale instantly, and her stomach started to ache.
He knew. When did he know? What else did he know?
She followed behind him hurriedly, feeling extremely uneasy.
The two men were staring at each other. Chu Lui asked strainedly,
Is she alright?
Gao Yi’s lips curled mockingly.
Why? Are you trying to find out if she’s dead yet? Or if she could still go back in again?
No.
Chu Lui’s expression darkened when faced with Gao Yi’s sarcasm. He didn’t do it on purpose. He never did, but he would always end up hurting her.
You better not appear in front of her in the future. You have a wife now, and a child. Why are you making your wife bully her? She has nothing left, but you have everything. Aren’t you satisfied?
Gao Yi stood in front of the hospital ward, blocking them. There was not only Xia Ruoxin inside; Rainy was also there. He didn’t want to let them know of her existence.
I know that it’s useless no matter how much I apologize. I also know that just feeling sorry is pointless, but please tell her that the person I’m most indebted to was her. She’s the person I care most, hate most, and love most.
The deep love within his extreme hatred almost made him breathless.
Gao Yi pursed his lips and stayed silent, but his eyes became colder. Was there any use now saying that he loved her? After all the cruel things he had done—after making her suffer so much, what could an apology do now?
Don’t worry. I won’t disturb her anymore.
Chu Lui looked at the door one last time, then turned, and left.
Perhaps it was for the best, for them… for her.
Let’s go.
He returned to Li Manni’s side and walked forwards without sparing her a glance. Li Manni bit her red lip and could only follow behind at last.
He was already disappointed in her.
The atmosphere was extremely tense in the car. There was almost a pause between each breath. Li Manni placed her hands on her lap and gripped her clothes.
Lui, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just didn’t want her to keep pestering you. I just wanted to protect our family.
Chu Lui’s gaze was fixed in front, and his lips were still cold and indifferent.
You don’t have to explain. You know very well what you did.
He spoke lightly as he continued to drive.
You’re wrong, Manni. She’s not pestering me. I’m the one pestering her.
Even if you give up your place as my wife to her, she wouldn’t want it. I don’t know what you said to her, but I hope this is the last time this happens. What happens between us has nothing to do with her.
Chu Lui continued—his voice still calm, but it made Li Manni break out in cold sweat.
She placed her hand on her stomach. Child, your father doesn’t trust Mommy anymore so now Mommy can only rely on you. Just you.
Her red lips were slightly pale. She hadn’t expected that her arrogance would raise Chu Lui’s suspicion towards her. Perhaps he was always suspicious, but she was just unaware.
