Chapter 624 - You Killed Someone (1/2)

Chu Lui rubbed his brows and placed the laptop on his lap onto the table before heaving a sigh. At this time, the sky was already starting to brighten outside. Thankfully, it was the weekends the next day; and he did not need to go to work. If not—with his current mental state, he would definitely not be able to handle a day of work at the office.

He lay down and kept tossing and turning. He was really tired, but he could not fall asleep.

He took out something from his neck. It was the safety amulet he carried around when he was young; he had lost it for more than twenty years, and now he had found it again. However, the bride he wanted to marry when he was young could not come back anymore.

…

”I want to eat butter shortbread that you make.” Gao Yi turned over and placed his hand on Bai Luoyin's shoulders. He did not have it in a long time, and the corner of his lips was facing outwards as he reminisced the past. ”I remember the butter shortbread you made that time was really good. So many years have passed, but I still remember the taste of it. The best-tasting one is still the one made by you.”

Bai Luoyin was elated, and excitement was written all over her face. ”Okay, I'll make it for you now.” She threw her bag down and ran towards the kitchen to prepare her signature butter shortbread for Gao Yi.

She did not know how to make anything else but butter shortbread as she had learned it from a famous chef, and it was very traditional. Back then, it was precisely because Gao Yi liked to eat it so she went to learn. Now that he remembered it, he must have remembered their past, their beginning.

She was thrilled and surprised to the point where she almost cried tears of joy.

However, she did not know that Gao Yi's smile dropped to a frown instantly after she turned her back.

He hated her with all his guts, and his heart was dead.

Walking into their bridal room and seeing their wedding photo on the wall was the biggest mockery to him. Actually, he had already resigned to his fate, but why? Why did she do this to him?

Suddenly, he held his arm really tightly. It started to hurt, but it was not as painful as his heartache and his hatred.

Putting his hand down, he walked to the cupboard and pulled open the drawers one by one, searching them individually… until he reached one that could not be opened. It was locked.

He turned around and opened the neighboring drawer. Bai Luoyin knew his habits, and he also knew Bai Luoyin's.

The drawer opened, and he stuck his hand in. After searching for a long time, he suddenly felt a key.

'Ka!' The locked drawer was opened, and the items inside were exposed to air. He put on a pair of gloves and took the box out to examine it. There was some medicine in it with a syringe. One by one, he picked up the medicine to smell it.

Superb sleeping pills. He shook the bottle; the skills needed to make this medicine were of a certain level, and it was done by Bai Luoyin. Since she had the talent to make such drugs, why did she not become a pharmacist? She could have become the best pharmacist in the country.

He took out something else with substantial amounts in it. This was drugs.

He placed the medicine back to its original spot and locked the drawer before removing the key and throwing it into the neighboring drawer. He also took off his gloves and threw it into the dustbin.

After a while, Bai Luoyin came into the room with two plates.

”Yi, look. This is the butter shortbread I made. Your favorite!”

Gao Yi took a piece and ate it within a few bites, but an upset expression could still be seen written on his face.
