Chapter 454 - This is Still My Home (2/2)

Chu Lui was still back-facing him, a wry smile on his lips.

This would be Chu Lui's life from now on; everyone had to get used to it.

Du Jingtang walked out. It might be because it was too dark inside the house so he felt like his eyes were blinded by the extremely bright light rays outside, causing him discomfort.

He walked towards his car and took out his phone. At the last moment, he placed it back into his pocket.

Let him calm down for a few days before anything. Not long after he left, a lady emerged from afar. She only walked towards that door after seeing Du Jingtang's car leaving, her walking speed slow with bad facial expressions.

She knocked on the door, standing outside alone for very long. Chu Lui placed his wine glass down, slowly straightening his body. He thought that Du Jingtang had left something behind.

Opening the door, the person standing outside was not Du Jingtang but someone else—a female whom he thought would never appear again.

”I have already let someone send your things back to the Li family already. There is nothing here that belongs to you.” Chu Lui used his body to block the entrance, having no intention of letting her in.

He didn't want her to dirty his place again.

”I didn't sign the papers yet so we are still married. I want to come home; is there anything wrong?” Li Manni raised her head asking Chu Lui, her face not marred with any negativity. She was still able to smile.

Chu Lui expressionlessly scanned Li Manni before straightening his posture and walked in. Li Manni felt extremely horrible at his icy cold gaze. She was unable to accept the fact that they were going to divorce. After all, they were once that loving couple that everyone looked up to.

She was not going to admit defeat that easily. Using some force, she straightened her back. She didn't lose everything yet; she still had some chance.

She walked in. The interior was so hard that it made one feel suffocated. Many things were missing such as her favorite fish, her favorite flower, the chair she always sat on, and even her favorite shade of green curtains were replaced with black.

It was only a short period of time, but there was nothing present that suggested that she used to stay here. Chu Lui really wanted to remove her from his world.

”Why are you not signing the papers?” Chu Lui sat on the sofa at a side, holding onto his half-empty wine glass. His eyes were unreadable, making the room's atmosphere even more solemn.

”I don't want to sign it; neither will I.” Li Manni purposefully raised her chin. Opposing Chu Lui was never something that people dared to do, and neither would anyone dare to directly oppose him like this.

Yet, Li Manni did just that. He wanted a divorce, but must she follow suit? Even if they hated each other to the core, she would never agree to a divorce with him.
