Chapter 353 - She was Missing (1/2)

He wanted to know the woman's whereabouts immediately, right now.

Shen Wei's red lips curled.

”What do you want to find that kind of woman for? She's just a prostitute. Mr. Chu Lui, aren't you scared of staining your noble self and superior reputation? If you want such a woman, I'm sure there's one in your house. You don't have to come here looking. Even if you do, you'll still need to pay.”

Shen Wei's smile became more bewitching. Chu Lui narrowed his eyes. He was the one who said those words to Xia Ruoxin every day, but hearing it from other people now made his heart feel as though someone had ripped a chunk out. It hurt a lot.

No, no, that's not it. He didn't know. He really didn't know.

”I've told you before that she isn't here. As for information about her, you can search for yourself, Mr. Chu. It's not my business whether she's dead or alive, for I wasn't the one who forced her here. IT's you, Mr. Chu.”

Shen Wei finished and pursed her lips, turning around and leaving. Let him search for her if he can. Chu Lui seemed to have realized something, but it was too late now.

When a woman had been devastated, she would not love others anymore, only herself.

His hysterical actions and feelings—those were obviously love, but why hadn't he admit it? Trying to make amends now was him being too naive and seeing things too easily.

Women were not objects that would come and go at a man's command.

Chu Lui looked at Shen Wei's disappearing figure, without being able to get any answers. He slammed the wall beside him with his fist, not feeling any pain at all… for his heart was already numb.

He turned around and left, his usual high spirits now bleak and desolate. He realized he had always been lonely, and the so-called hate was just an excuse for not letting go.

Without love, there was no hate. The more he hated, the more he loved.

He walked out. The day outside was already dark, and the wind hit against his face, stiff and painful. He placed his hand on his chest. It was radiating with pain that seemed endless.

He sat back in his car. The phone he had forgotten in the car was ringing incessantly. He took out his phone, and he picked it up to show numerous missed calls—all from Li Manni.

He tossed the phone away. He just remembered that he had a woman at home, a wife he had married when he thought he knew it all. He was afraid that his heart would continue to be affected by that woman and scared that he would betray Yixuan.

So he married Li Manni. The crueler he was to Xia Ruoxin, the nicer he was towards Li Manni. He was living with feelings of atonement for these four years, but exactly whose crime was he atoning for?

He had never pondered over this. Perhaps he did not even consider this and wasn't willing to.

He placed his hand on his chest. Didn't he know the meaning behind him piecing the drawing together? Didn't he suppress enough?

He let out a deep sigh. He placed his hands on the steering wheel. The phone by his side rang again, almost endlessly annoying. He picked up the phone, pressed hard on the button, and then flung it outside. His reddened eyes flickered with a frenzy and irritation no one knew.
