Chapter 360 - An Idiot (2/2)
”Are you refusing to answer, or do you not have an answer?” Li Manni refused to let it go. She needed to know where she stood in his heart and what she meant to him.
”You're my wife.” Chu Lui retracted his hand and stuffed it in his pocket. He had two wives. One received all his cruelty while the other received all his love; she had already gained so much more than that woman.
Everything was his own fault. He would look for the best way to solve this, and this time, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.
”Wife? I'm just your wife?” Li Manni stood up, but she smiled sorrowfully. She didn't amount to anything else other than that. She wanted to see his love for her in his eyes, even just a little bit; but his eyes were too deep. She couldn't see anything. Four years. It's been four years, but it turned out she had never understood him.
She wiped away her tears quickly and walked forward, taking Chu Lui's arm as she tried to force a smile. ”Let's go back.” He was right. She was his wife… no woman could ruin their family. Any other woman would be the mistress.
They took the car back to the Chu villa, and Chu Lui walked in, with Li Manni following behind him. The housekeeper looked at them strangely, thinking that the master was acting oddly today.
”Lui…” Li Manni rushed forward and hugged his waist from behind. ”Lui, stop thinking about her. Aren't we fine this way? I will be a good wife, and don't you see that she doesn't love you anymore and never will?”
Chu Lui's body stiffened, and he peeled her hands away slowly. ”I'm busy recently so I'll be in the study room. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me.” He continued walking forward, but Li Manni just kept shaking her head.
”Really, it's impossible for the two of you to get together. It's been impossible since the moment you chose to abandon the child…” However, her voice was cut by the slamming of the door.
”Some things could be forgiven, but some things couldn't be. Lui, you may never know, but you killed your own daughter for a nonexistent child. Do you think she would forgive you?
”Impossible. She would never… so we will always be together, and we will have a child or more. Xia Ruoxin would never be able to snatch you away.”
She said repeatedly, the corner of her lips curling. ”No one can take you, no one.”
Chu Lui locked himself in the study room. He reached a hand between his brows and rubbed repeatedly. His half-closed eyes flashed with fatigue. He had never felt so tired before.
He sat on the chair, opened the drawer again, and then took out the pearls inside. He held the needle awkwardly as he threaded the pearls together. It was his first time holding a needle in his entire life.
”Ouch…” He hissed when his finger was pricked sharply by the needle, and a drop of blood oozed out. He hurriedly put the finger in his mouth, a faint taste of blood between his lips.
He had more than a few dozen such holes under his finger, pricked by the needle.
He picked up the needle again and threaded the pearls, his brows wrinkled together. When settling contracts, he was the best negotiator. At the company, he was the CEO that everyone looked up to and revered. In the business world, he was a famous business tycoon.
However, in front of the tiny needle, he was just an idiot.
