Chu Lui’s pupils contracted a little. As he stood up, the crazed feelings from earlier had dispersed; and his face had resumed its usual expression.

Yes, she deserved it. She had almost caused the death of his current wife, his beloved wife.

“Xia Ruoxin.” Chu Lui suddenly moved closer. His thin lips spat the ruthless words, “I told you. I’m not done hating you so let us continue. And, don’t fall in love with me again because you can’t afford to.”

He continued to smirk while Xia Ruoxin saw the ruthlessness in his eyes. She couldn’t fall in love with him again. The last time she did, she almost died. This time, however, she would definitely die with no place for her burial.

Xia Ruoxin merely smiled bitterly. “You can rest assure that I won’t fall for you again.” She wouldn’t because there was someone she loved more. She would never love another like she had this person.

Rainy, her daughter. She would not love anyone aside from her Rainy, especially this man who had pushed her into hell with his own bare hands. Her heart had no place for love, and he did not deserve her love. Right now, her life was all she had, nothing else. She couldn’t die. She still had Rainy so she had nothing for him.

On Xia Ruoxin’s face was an expression that harbored no illusions. Chu Lui suddenly felt a vicious stab as though someone had pierced a knife into his heart. He had not expected such a tone in her reply, and he was neither happy nor thrilled. Yet, he couldn’t let himself be indifferent.

She didn’t love him; no longer loved him with her whole being like how she did in the past. This answer actually shocked him. Subconsciously, he knew this was not the answer that he sought. It was the opposite.

No matter how much she had to suffer, no matter how many hardships she had to endure. Not like this.

He wanted her to love him and not be loved—to love but dare not love. It wasn’t because of her inability to love. It was simply because he would not allow her.

“I will make you fall for me again. Mark my words. You will love me to the extent that without me, you won’t be able to survive.” He cursed and suddenly lunged forward, pressing her body down. He lowered his head and kissed her lips with a frenzy, even bit her until her lips bled. The taste of blood lingered between their lips.

Chu Lui bit hard for he realized that the strange void which had always been in his heart had been filled. No one had given him this kind of feeling. Not Yixuan, not Manni, or any other women.

Only Xia Ruoxin—the woman whom he hated with all his heart and disgusted him to the core.

Xia Ruoxin kept avoiding his domineering lips. He was the same as four years ago. He plundered everything she had against her will. Her heart, her body, and even her breaths.

She didn’t need love, and she didn’t want it.

Pain throbbed on her lips. It made her feel too much agony in her clear-minded state. She wasn’t drunk; neither was he. She didn’t want this kiss, filled with punishment and intimacy without love. She really didn’t.

“Why are you crying? Aren’t you enjoying this?” Chu Lui left the red and swollen lips, bruised from his kiss. His fingers tenderly touched beneath her eyes like how he would treat his lover. However, this gesture only made Xia Ruoxin feel a kind of coldness.
