His words continued to comfort the woman in his arms and harm the one on the ground. Humans are naturally biased. For him, he was only biased to those he cared about. Those he didn’t care about was just a dog—a toy in his eyes.

“She was only a woman who would open legs anytime for money. I would never love someone as promiscuous as her. Don’t listen to her nonsense. I love you; of course, I do.”

He said while kissing Li Manni’s forehead dearly and then finally kissing her pale blue lips to alleviate her uneasiness. His gentleness could make a woman giddy with happiness, but similarly, it could make another heartbroken.

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head, her long eyelashes revealing a faint hurt. She rubbed her legs slowly, unsure if she could walk or not.

“Lui...” Li Manni’s lips parted. “My neck hurts.” She placed a hand on her neck. She still had not forgotten what that woman did to her just now. She dared to choke her—that nerve, and she almost choked her to death.

Chu Lui pulled Li Manni behind him and lowered his head, his old gaze falling on the woman on the floor. When he saw the bruises on her neck, his eyes turned cold. She was taking revenge, and she took it out on his wife. Four years ago, she wanted to harm her; and now—four years later, she still dared to.

“You dirty woman!” His thin lips uttered these cold words. He knelt down, leaning his noble body forward and reached both his hands out again to clasp firmly on her neck. It was crueler than before, more forceful than before.

“You dared to touch my wife. I will make you pay a thousand times more. I regret not taking your life four years ago and letting you have the chance to hurt her again. You are really evil. If you have any issues, you come to me. You even said that I love you? What are you to make you deserving of my love? I will never love you even if you are the only woman in the world. I’m disgusted by this face of yours.

“You are only a woman I bought with money. Your body, your heart, your soul are all dirty.””

His hands wrapped around her again tightly until Xia Ruoxin’s whole face turned blue.

“I beg you... don’t kill me...” Xia Ruoxin’s hands tried to helplessly grasp at something—at air or maybe her life. The feeling of being at the brink of death made her fearful. Don’t treat her like that, don’t—she thought. She still had a sick daughter. Don’t kill her...

“Scared? That’s all there is to you.” Only when she was left with her very last breath of air did Chu Lui let go.

Li Manni just stood behind them without fear, a faint excitement and provocation flashing across her eyes. Her pale blue lips lifted into a slight smile.

It was an extremely beautiful smile.

An extremely evil smile.

Chu Lui stood up. Xia Ruoxin clutched her chest painfully, breathing hard in search of the oxygen in the air. Her vision was blurred, and she could only look helplessly as Chu Lui disappeared from her vision with his wife in his arms.

She coughed and coughed under the gray skies. A stream of tears flowed from the corner of her eye and onto her dry lips
