Chapter 359 - What About Her (2/2)

”What are you going to do with her? Will you, like four years ago, let someone into her bed and let her lose all standing and reputation while you divorce her and marry some other woman without care? Or, do you want to start over again with me as your mistress, your 'prostitute'? What else do you want?” She wasn't willing to belittle herself again and let others trample all over her.

He had already said those words countless times. She felt nothing.

She finished. Chu Lui's lips parted as he stood rooted to the ground, and behind him, Li Manni was on the verge of collapsing. He couldn't do that to her. No. She didn't want to be a second Xia Ruoxin. She hurried forward and tugged Chu Lui's clothes tightly, her delicate makeup washed away on her tear-streaked face as she looked up at Chu Lui pitifully.

”Lui…” She called out Chu Lui's name, but Chu Lui's black eyes were fixed on the other woman. She knew that he was the one who did it, and he could not deny it because that was the truth. He was finally paying the price for what he had done in the past.

”Some people like being the mistress in a relationship, and some people like breaking apart others' families, but I won't.” Xia Ruoxin said blandly. Her long eyelashes quivered as she wrapped a hand around her left arm. Did they know? The situation was the same as four years ago, but the roles have changed. She wasn't interested in it anymore though, not even having the urge to mock them.

Her words made Li Manni blanched as if someone had given her a fierce smack on the face. It was true. No matter how much time passed and no matter how well and perfectly Chu Lui handled the situation at that time, she could never escape the reputation of being a mistress in the past.

”I'm doing very well now.” Xia Ruoxin looked directly at Chu Lui's face and smiled. Some things wouldn't return once it was let go. ”I've already repaid everything I owe you using my body, four years of my time, and everything I have. I want to hate you, but I won't love you anymore.”

She finished and turned around, not noticing the pain that flashed across Chu Lui's eyes. Everyone thought that Chu Lui had never experienced heartache, and if he hadn't known what it was then, he knew it now.

He didn't chase after her, for he had no reason to and because his wife was the woman standing beside him. Moreover, he still couldn't give her what she wanted.

He placed his hand against his chest. It was still hurting. The pain only surfaced recently. His heart was aching for another woman, but no one knew that this heart of his was already hurting four years ago.

”Lui, why? Didn't you detest her? Didn't you say that it was all just for revenge? Why are you treating her like this now? In the past, she seemed like she was indebted to you; but now, it's like you're indebted to her.”

Li Manni's voice pierced through his eardrums, pulling him out from his train of thoughts.

”You want to know why?” He did not pull Li Manni's hand away and asked faintly.
