Chapter 392 - Who Won (1/2)

”Xia Ruoxin. I'm going to kill you.” Her pretty-looking face was contorted as she clawed at Xia Ruoxin without reason. Her long fingernails aimed to scratch her face, or at least a piece of a wall.

However, when her fingernails were about to reach Xia Ruoxin's face, a force from somewhere held her hand back.

”Lui…” She looked back, her tears falling.

For the first time, she experienced the emotions called heartbreak, sadness, and hatred.

”Why? I'm your wife. I'm the one you love the most. Why did you stop me?”

”That's enough, Manni.” Chu Lui held Li Manni's arm tight. His cold voice could freeze one to death… and also one's heart. ”I thought I made it very clear that you don't need to do this. I said that I wouldn't divorce you. What else do you want to prove?”

Li Manni didn't feel at ease with his words. In fact, her chest was filled with a sense of danger. Her heart was already blinded by hatred.

”Hah…” She laughed, so hard that she almost cried.

”Chu Lui. I gave you my everything, but this is how you treat me, letting others humiliate your wife?”

”Yes. He is that kind of man.” Xia Ruoxin sneered, and her eyes gleamed with slight sarcasm. ”Don't forget the things that he did to me just to make you his wife. Would you be able to live after experiencing all that? Humiliation. You're not fit to say that.”

Chu Lui blanched. His thin lips that were pressed tightly together seem to tremble slightly. He couldn't deny that, and he couldn't explain himself. He had indeed done those sorts of things. Since he did it, he would admit it.

Xia Ruoxin flung the vase on the floor, and it shattered with a smash.

”Don't act lovey-dovey in front of me. I've already seen your deep love for each other.” She looked at the disheveled Li Manni, her unwavering stare almost making Li Manni go mad with sinister.

No. She wouldn't become a second Xia Ruoxin. She had a baby, yes, a baby. When the baby was out, no one would take away what was all hers anymore: Chu Lui, money, status, and everything.

It was all hers, everything. No one should even think of snatching them all away. She didn't realize how twisted her heart was starting to become or how she was almost losing her mind.

Was it herself or someone else that changed her so?

She wanted to hold onto the things the more she cared about them. The more she liked them, the more she wanted to have it all to herself. Even if it wasn't the best—as long as she liked it, she had to obtain it.

She raised her head and wailed without restraints, like raindrops on a pear blossom, which was now wilted. Her makeup was ruined after all, and she looked like a stray cat that had appeared out of nowhere—ugly and dirty.

Chu Lui's thin lips twitched, and he was starting to become speechless. He reached his hand out and wiped away the tears on her face. ”You're tired. I'll take you home.”

Li Manni finally revealed a smile between her weeps. ”Lui, I knew it. You still love me. The one you love most is just me.” She rested her head on Chu Lui's shoulders. Chu Lui stiffened, his conflicted black eyes landing on Xia Ruoxin.
