Chapter 358 - Why Didnt You Tell Me? (2/2)

Everything was in the past now. She was doing fine now, really fine.

She took a deep breath in awkwardly and walked forward. As long as she stayed far away from his world, she would be happy. She finally understood that it was misfortune falling in love with that man. She had used four years to walk out of it and paid her arm as the price. She would not love again.

Chu Lui watched as Xia Ruoxin stepped away from him with a dark face. Suddenly, he tore Li Manni's had away and jogged over.

He grabbed Xia Ruoxin's wrist without explanation tightly as if he feared she would disappear once again.

”I have something to say.” He ignored Xia Ruoxin's protests and led her down the stairs, leaving Li Manni alone to face everything on her own… including the crowd's weird looks and shameful pointing fingers.

No matter what the situation was, for a man to leave his own wife and leave with another woman was an insult to the wife. Li Manni lowered her head with extremely red eyes. She followed them down the stairs, her heart sinking into a cold and dark world.

Was the thing that she was most worried and scared going to happen? Was she about to lose the relationship she had carefully protected and achieved by all means?

Chu Lui gripped Xia Ruoxin's wrist tightly. She wrinkled her brows at him. ”Chu Lui, let me go. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.” Yet, Chu Lui still maintained a firm hold on her.

”Nothing to do with each other? Don't forget that we're husband and wife, Xia Ruoxin,” Chu Lui said, his chest heaving up and down. He was trying his best to control his voice.

”Husband and wife?” He dared to say this. She shook off his hand. ”Chu Lui, don't forget that you're already married to a wife called Li Manni, not Xia Ruoxin. Xia Ruoxin no longer has anything to do with you Chus.”

Chu Lui's face paled at her words. Indeed, that was the truth he could never change.

”Why didn't you tell me?” Chu Lui placed his hand on his neck and yanked off the amulet hanging there, a red mark forming from the force.

”Tell you what?” Xia Ruoxin held her wrist gently. She wasn't sure if it would leave a mark, and she didn't want to let Gao Yi know of what had happened to her today. Moreover, what kind of person she had met.

Chu Lui extended his hand and opened it, revealing a small amulet in his palm. It was the amulet that Xia Yixuan had worn around her neck for over twenty years. It was made of wood and was of high workmanship, but now, the edges were rounded. It held the temperature of the man now, just like before.

All this was supposed to belong to Xia Ruoxin.

Her encounter, her memories, and the promise he gave her.
