Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

“You dare to deny. You’re indeed a liar.” Chu Lui removed his fingers. He swung his hand and landed it on the colorless face with a loud smack. Soon, a red handprint appeared clearly on her face.

“You have already caused Yixuan’s death. I won’t allow you to harm Manni.”

The cold warning rang continuously in Xia Ruoxin’s ears which seemed to tear her heart into half. She placed her hand on her face. It was burning with pain. He had hit her, viciously and heartlessly.

Tears fell silently, landing between her fingers. She could vividly feel the coolness on her fingertips, the cold in her heart.

“Do you think you’ve sacrificed a lot for me?” A bloodthirsty look appeared in Chu Lui’s eyes as he neared Xia Ruoxin, determined to hurt her till the end.

How could he let her off when she dared to harm his Manni?

“Do you really think that I should be grateful because you slept with another man? You are filthy. You know what you are?” He continued ruthlessly, “You are like a dirty and disgusting whore who will take any man to bed. Tell me what it is, if not cheap.” Every word was cruel and heartless. He had completely diminished her value until nothing was left, including her struggles.

Xia Ruoxin covered her ears and bit down hard on her lip. No… no. She was not. She was not. She had wanted to help him.

“How can you compare yourself to Yixuan? To Manni? With your dirty and disgusting body—or that hypocritical face?”

Chu Lui’s expression was cruel and callous. In his eyes, now, Xia Ruoxin was not even a fly.

“Ha…” He suddenly laughed a laugh that did not reach his eyes. “Was I supposed to be grateful that you spent a night with another man because of me?”

Xia Ruoxin’s lips quivered. She could not rebut nor could she explained herself.

“You are silly. You are very silly.” Chu Lui looked her in the eye, and she saw her pathetic self in his. “You seriously think that I, Chu Lui, will use my wife in exchange with a contract? You thought that Chu Enterprise will fall just like that?

“Everything was a pretense that I orchestrated. I put you on another man’s bed on purpose.”

Xia Ruoxin was stunned, her mind blanked. What he said had sent her into hell, unable to escape. He had done it on purpose. He had allowed another man to abuse her on purpose. Everything was his doing.

Why… why did he do this to her? What had she done wrong? She was not just anyone but his wife. What kind of hatred would cause a man to make a cuckold out of himself?

“AAHHH…!” Xia Ruoxin suddenly held her head and began screaming, one after another until she sounded hoarse. Finally, only her whimpering could be heard. It couldn’t be. It could not be. He lied to her. He must have lied to her.

Chu Lui watched coldly, enjoying the devastating way that she was crying. He sneered, unmoved by the scene. Only he knew that his mind had begun to descend into a state of chaos, instead of the excitement and happiness that he thought he would feel. In the end, he was wrong.
