757 Love Or Destruction? (1/2)

However, she later realized that while she was trying to climb ranks, he had already turned into a person that even she found it difficult to read. Not only he became difficult to read, but he also gave off a very dangerous vibe as well. Dangerous because he knew things even she didn't. How far his reach was, she couldn't even tell.

”What exactly is your intention?” she questioned peering into his eyes. ”Why do you care what I'm doing?”

Xiao Li shrugged his shoulders, ”It doesn't concern me. As I said, I was just curious.”

”As much as I know you, you don't get curious out of nowhere,” she retorted.

He stood up to leave but turned to look at her face as he asked, ”And do you think you really know me?”

Ying thought about it before shaking her head, ”For some reason, I feel like you turned into someone even I can't recognize. It's like you drifted so far that even I can't touch you now. But I'm not able to understand when or how it happened.”

”Having too many questions leads to disaster,” he replied calmly.

”You really surprised me,” she said out of nowhere. ”I am someone who had always seen Meihui as the winner and myself as the loser. I always thought she had what I want then why is she not content with it? She had your unconditional love. Love didn't even waver when she tore away your heart and stomped on it ruthlessly. That kind of love really makes one envious.”

”And yet she threw it away,” he said. ”But why are you telling me this? Trying to poke the wounds that haven't even scabbed yet?”

Ying shook her head, ”As I said, I'm just surprised to see that even that kind of love can change. I never thought you'd stop loving her.”

”Even after everything she did to me?” he questioned.

”Yes, even after everything she did to you,” she replied.

Xiao Li stared at her face for a long moment in silence before sighing out, ”Who said I stopped loving her?” Ying's brows moved. ”If I really had been able to stop this love, it wouldn't have been hurting me even now.”

Ying's hands clenched as she asked, ”Ah-Li, why did you choose to marry her?”

”Maybe because I wanted her to see how her love destroyed me,” he replied. ”I wanted to cage her with me in this relationship and make her see what she did to me. I wanted her to live with me under the same roof and know how much distance she created between us. In the end, I was still selfish. I wanted this love of mine to destroy both of us.”

She picked a pen by her side and threw it at him. It hit his forehead but he didn't even flinch.

”Twisted love?” He laughed out heartily. ”But love had always been twisted, Ying. Mine just fell down the road of darkness and no happy ending.”
