6 He Loathed Her (2/2)
Even if she knew deep down that her pain had only just begun.
”Chu Lui, do you take Xia Ruoxin as your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”
Chu Lui pursed his thin lips and answered, ”I do”. It might have sounded voluntary however, there was not an ounce of emotion detected in his tone.
”I now invite the bride and groom to exchange their rings,” announced the priest. Chu Lui took a diamond ring out of his pocket. It was designed by a famous French couturier, but it was not meant for her.
He took her slightly bruised hand in a crude way. The look in his eyes turned more remote and it made Xia Ruoxin's body slightly quiver. The ring wasn't meant for Xia Rouxin, for he initially wanted Xia Yixuan to have it. He swore that he would go through such lengths to humiliate her. He was willing to use every method.
The ring was too small for Xia Ruoxin's hand, but Chu Lui didn't care. It did not bother him for a single bit if it would be painful for her. If she felt the pain, then she deserved it.
Xia Ruoxin inwardly stifled a groan from the throbbing pain on her finger. Her heart had been shattered and numbed countless times on her special day. But did all matters lead to the heart? No, she was wrong, for it was not just the matter. It was the pain on her finger that had shattered her soul completely.
She took the other ring with her bruised, shaky hands. She put it on Chu Lui's finger and it was a perfect fit. However, the one on her finger was so tight that she could not help but feel sorry for herself.
”The groom may now kiss the bride.”
As soon as the priest finished speaking, Xia Ruoxin found herself into a complete daze. She could not even hear anything that surrounded her. The veil lifted, and all she saw was the man's icy facial expression. His orbs screamed extreme hatred. Then his head lowered down and moved closer towards her. Xia Ruoxin could only close her eyes in bitterness.
