105 Irritation (1/2)

”What's wrong, Chu Lui? Where are we going?” Li Manni was sitting in Chu Lui's car—looking at the rain outside, and she asked when he hung up the phone.

She deliberately didn't want to ask about it. She knew who he was asking about in the phone call.

It was not that he didn't care. He was probably forcing himself not to care.

”I'll send you back. I have some issues to settle.” Chu Lui said and put down his phone, narrowing his eyes at the rain outside. He could not deceive himself. This was the ending that he wanted, but why was he feeling irritated to the point of wanting to destroy something to satisfy himself?

”Lui, it's alright if you want to return to where she is. I will give you my blessing.” Li Manni turned around suddenly, beads of tears rolling down her face.

Chu Lui's eyes darkened, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace. ”What are you talking about? It's impossible between us. I'll divorce her very soon, don't worry.” He patted Li Manni's cheeks softly, pressing his lips onto her forehead, promising her—as well as telling himself.

He would never return to that woman's side. He hated her to the point of wanting to kill her. Everything that had happened was according to what he wished. Very soon, he would be able to see it.

See the moment the woman pay for everything that she had done.

”Lui, don't leave me. I won't be able to live without you.” Li Manni still felt uneasy. The change in his mood was too obvious, unlike when he was around her. She was scared, extremely scared, that he would leave her.

”I won't leave you.” Chu Lui promised her again, but the moment the words left his mouth, he thought of another face… as pale as snow and deathly transparent.

Without him, she wouldn't be able to live, too.
