Wei Qinglian was startled and exclaimed "Lala!" as she quickly stepped forward to Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience...what’s wrong?"
Guan La took a deep breath and shook her head, "I’m fine. Let’s go!"
Wei Qinglian looked over to room 813, half-hidden behind a door. She didn’t see anything, but she smelled a faint scent of tobacco. She slightly frowned, but because she was worried about Guan La, she finally nodded, "Okay, Sister Lala, let’s go!"
Guan La bit her lip, using the strength of Wei Qinglian’s hand to walk step by step towards the end of the corridor. There was a sourness in her eyes!
Wei Qinglian noticed Guan La’s look and called out to her in surprise, "Sister Lala!"
Guan La wiped her face with her hand and tears poured out instantly. She shook her head, "I’m okay, really okay ..."
But how could she be okay? Wei Qinglian saw clear finger marks on Guan La’s wrist, and her collar was in disarray. On her fair neck there were kiss marks!
She felt bad, but she dared not show it, because she knew how proud this woman was. She would not allow herself to show any fear in front of others, even in front of her!
In room 813, the man stood emotionless by the window, looking at the array of high-rise buildings outside. He was in a bustling metropolis, but he felt empty, especially inside him... more so!
He recalled the words the woman said a few minutes ago under him -
"Chen Ye, did you ever really love me? If you did, you wouldn’t have slept with one woman after another just to get revenge on me, even if I was carrying another man’s child. You wouldn’t have chosen to divorce me just for the fleeting pleasure of revenge. Now, three years later, you can’t stand to see me doing well and you’re torturing me ? Is this what you call love? This is your so-called love for me?"
Yes, was this his so-called love? At that moment, he was confused!
Three years ago, he divorced that woman because he was really angry. From the moment he found out she was pregnant, he did indeed start to seek other women. One woman after another.
He vented his anger towards her on those women!
You betrayed me? Now, I’m betraying you!
Once, he even asked a woman while they were entangled in bed, in a trance, thinking she was Guan La, "Would you like to have a child for me?"
The woman was dumbstruck and said, "Are you crazy?"
He laughed, he was crazy, indeed he was. But even in his madness, he still felt that he loved her. It was just that fate had played such a cruel joke, making them meet in such a way. That’s what led to their tragic marriage and now, his tragic self!
He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. He remembered the first time he saw her!
He was wearing a white embroidered evening dress, as if he had rushed over from some banquet. He stood in front of the car, watching her graceful elegance like a white butterfly, slowly approaching him. She was breathtakingly beautiful, as if not from this world!
She stopped in front of him, panting a little, saw his face, pursed her lips, and asked, "Are you Chen Ye?"
He extended his long fingers and smiled, "Yes, I am Chen Ye! Miss Guan, I am very honored to meet you!"
Their hands touched. Her hand was a bit cold. She said gently, "Me too. I’m very happy to meet you!"
But five years later, she turned around and said to him, "Chen Ye, I won’t report you to the police. I hope from now on, we can live in peace, never to see each other again!"
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiling bitterly. What a fine sentiment – live in peace, never to meet again. Admit it, Lala, you’re really much colder than I am!
Wei Qinglian and Guan La saw Nanxi and Mo Yan in the lobby downstairs when they heard the sound of a police siren outside the entrance!
Seeing Guan La’s expression, Nanxi felt a tightening in her chest, "Sister Lala, are you alright?"
"I’m fine," Guan La responded, glancing at Nanxi, her anxiety eased, "What’s important is that you’re okay!"
Nanxi’s eyes trembled, "I’m fine, of course, I’m fine! How could I not be?"
Guan La nodded and looked at Mo Yan, her voice steady, "Mo Yan, there’s a favor I need to ask you..."
