300 Never Let Go (2/2)

”My wife is right here, in my arms. She's not like you who are willing to sell herself just for money.” His words were always heartless and brutal. To Xia Ruoxin, they were words of despair.

Xia Ruoxin turned as white as paper. ”I have never thought of wanting to be your wife. I merely implore you to save that child.” Her voice penetrated through the rain. It was filled with such heart-breaking emotions.

The child is only three years old. She is innocent. Why won't you save her? Why?

”Lui, don't.” As she felt the stiffness of Chu Lui's body, Li Manni hugged his waist tightly afraid of that Xia Ruoxin might say next. ”Don't, I'm afraid.” Chu Lui reached out to pat the shoulders of the woman in his arms. At this point, he was having mixed feelings. Perhaps recently, his heart was never in peace.

The question he was asking himself now was 'why was Xia Ruoxin so concerned with that child—someone who was of no relation to her?'

”Lui, I don't feel so well. I'm so cold.”

Li Manni held tightly onto Chu Lui's waist as she kept repeating herself.

”Alright, Let's go home.” Chu Lui did not spare another glance at Xia Ruoxin. He merely put his umbrella down and scooped Li Manni into his arms. ”Let's go back.”

There was an extreme worry in his voice. He knew his wife could not bear the slightest agitation. In his eyes, at this very moment, there was no one as important as Li Manni and—of course—his unborn child.

He anxiously changed his direction. The hospital was right behind them.

Li Manni's voice was filled with nervousness and fear. ”No, Lui. Not the hospital. I don't want to go back to the hospital. I want to go home. I want to go home. I don't want to see that woman. I don't want to.”

Li Manni clung nervously onto the front of Chu Lui's shirt as tears fell from her eyes. She continued to cower her body, obviously in fear of someone's presence.

”Alright. We'll go home.”

Chu Lui carried Li Manni and made his way towards his car. However, he felt an invisible pull on his clothes that he couldn't brush away.

After that, he looked back; and his sullen eyes met Xia Ruoxin's cold, squinted eyes. His wife was in extreme discomfort so he had no time to play her game.

”Chu Lui, I beg you. Please save her because she is your…” Xia Ruoxin clung onto his clothes. As weak as her hand was now, she still held on and never let go.

Never let go. She would hold on with her dear life.

However, before she could finish talking, she was interrupted by Li Manni.

”Lui, I want to go home. I want to go home.” Her voice was filled with fear, as though she would have a breakdown if she suffered another blow. Chu Lui now only had his eyes on her. All he could hear was her voice.

”Don't be afraid. I'm bringing you home now.” He held onto the woman tightly in his arms. He struggled hard and ditched the woman behind him. Xia Ruoxin was not as strong as him, and she fell on the floor as a result. Mud and soil covered her from head to toe. There was mud all over her face, and she couldn't see the way she had originally looked.
