254 Without Love, Where did Hate Come From? (1/2)

He embraced the woman in his arms tighter. He would treat her even better because no one could replace her position in his heart. She would always be the one and only wife of Chu Lui. That woman… would forever be his nemesis.

Under the dim lights, a woman wriggled constantly. Her hands were white and fair, her skin like snow, and she had a slender waistline. The sound of her charming laughter could be heard. This was a world of pleasures. One could have anything as long as one was rich. That included lots and lots of women.

Shen Wei turned her face away. She turned and faced Xia Ruoxin who was sitting across her. Her red lips curled into a smile. ”Are you blaming me for not stopping that man when he was taking you out?”

Xia Ruoxin looked up. She finally shook her head. She did not blame anyone, but she couldn't help herself from feeling sad because she couldn't force the others to help her or save her. Hadn't she seen enough of the fickleness of human nature?

”I wish to know if that man is the father of your child.” Shen Wei sat, too. She watched Xia Ruoxin like a hawk for any expression that she might have displayed. True enough, as expected, Xia Ruoxin's eyes widened.

Shen Wei's smile was cold. Indeed, she had guessed correctly.

That bitter smile, whether it was from love or not, was a testament that she had loved him. Pain ensued when there was love. However, if it would hurt, why would one love in the first place? One might be better off without it.

”You knew?” Xia Ruoxin felt a burning sensation at the back of her throat.

”I don't know. I did not know anything. It was a guess.” Shen Wei leaned against her back with her hands on her stomach.

The agony in Xia Ruoxin's eyes became more intense. ”Yes, he is the father of my daughter… but he was not aware of her existence. He is now happily married to a loving wife.

”My daughter is fatherless. She has never known how it feels to have a father. She only knows her mother. There won't be a father.”

”I see.” While she listened to Xia Ruoxin talking about herself, Shen Wei's eyelashes fluttered. Then, she closed her eyes.
