136 Such a Show (1/2)
”Madam…” Xiao Hong wrung her fingers and looked at Xia Ruoxin in front of her, at a loss of what to do. How could such a thing happen? There was someone in the madam's room, and it was a strange man that she had never seen before. If not for the madam stealing people, where else would the man have come from?
”Xiao Hong, go out first.” Xia Ruoxin continued lying on the bed, covering herself tightly with the blanket. Xiao Hong moved her lips for a long time, wanting to ask but the words were not coming out—wanting to leave but her legs were not moving. At last, she closed the door.
The door closed, and the usual silence ensued. Xia Ruoxin bit her finger hard. Oh, Chu Lui. He really was so harsh. He would treat her this way for the sake of his beloved's reputation. The first time, he had forced her into another man's bed; and the second time, he let a man in her bed.
She curled her body up tightly. Her left hand cramped hard and hurt, and so did her abdomen.
She clenched her hand which had the deep teeth mark where she had bitten it. You must stay strong, baby, she thought. Mommy will be alright. She'll definitely be alright, right? We will both be alright. We'll live our lives well, even without the man called Chu Lui.
She buttoned up her clothes at the chest. She did not feel anything different about her body, and so she knew that the man was merely putting up a show and did not really touch her.
She could already imagine that by tomorrow—no, perhaps not even tomorrow—she would be known by all as a slut, as a shameless woman, or what else?
She put on a shirt effortfully, opened the door, and went out. Xiao Hong bit her lips and stared, the look in her eyes making Xia Ruoxin uncomfortable. Indeed, there was no one in the world who would believe her.
She sat on the sofa and waited.
The door was pushed open vigorously, and the cold aura appeared in front of her again, sweeping away all her senses. She didn't need to lift her head to know who entered.
Who else could it be but Chu Lui?
