Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - That Was Her Life

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ruoxin put her hand against her stomach. There was cold sweat on her forehead. It hurts there.

She simply rested for a while. Then, she put her hands once again into the cold, icy water to continue with the laundry. However, it wasn’t her clothes.

A bigger hand suddenly grabbed at her own. She looked up, a pair of dark eyes that could absorb a man’s soul greeted her. It was so gloomy that she could no longer escape from his curse. As unfortunate as it was and as cruel as it seemed, she was resigned to that fate.

“You don’t want to live anymore?” His voice was extremely deep but his gaze landed on her stomach. Was she unaware that her uterus had suffered a severe trauma? And that the one who had caused it was him?

“Isn’t this what you wanted?” She pulled her hands out of his grasp. She continued to put both of them into the cold water in a fit of anger. Or rather, it was more from being wronged?

Now he was accusing her.

“You can rest assured that I will not die. I know you are not done torturing me.”

She did not wish to sound like that, but she had said them out of anger. Regardless, those words still came out from her mouth even if she did not mean them. She was not usually that bold. She had gotten used to adversity. She had gotten used to days like that in the Xia family. But today, she was done tolerating.

“Enough!” Chu Lui’s dark eyes became darker. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both his hands. He could see the crystal-like tears forming on her bare face.

She had not cried when Mrs. Xia beat her, nor did she cry when people bullied her. When she was in pain back then, she did not cry. But she started crying when he spoke about taking responsibility.

She was not a strong woman. She was not a block either. She had emotions and a heart.

They honestly thought she wouldn’t feel hurt?

Chu Lui’s eyes were so dark that she almost lost herself in its depth. He suddenly lowered his head and firmly kissed the woman on her lips. His heart was actually aching for her as he looked at her in her pitiful state.

To his surprise, he could not tolerate her attitude to abandon herself to despair. He knew where she went. Every action she did was completely under his control. She was bullied and beaten at the Xia family. She wandered along the streets for several hours after that. When she returned to the mansion, she had to do the laundry. He had no idea what went through her mind. No idea at all.

He thought he would have felt happy or excited. However, he was wrong. He had experienced the thrill of exacting his revenge, but he also felt his heart ached.

Damn woman. He kissed her hard on the lips. The impact was so great that it might have worn her lips off. They could both taste blood between their lips. It had started bleeding when they met. Would it have ended with one of them dead?

Xia Ruoxin could feel the surge of pressure between her lips. It was as though he had consumed her soul. She shook her head. She passively received his nearly frantic abuse.

He bit on her lip. After a long while, he finally released the woman. She could barely catch her breath.

“Do not make me angry the next time, woman.” He placed his finger on her lips. There was something hidden behind his dark eyes. She blinked in confusion and an indescribable cold shiver went down her body.

“Was what I said clear? You won’t be able to bear the consequences if you provoke me. If you want to live a decent life, listen well and be good.” He lightly patted her face. His voice might be mild, but it sounded cold and hard. Rather than calling it a warning, one might as well say it was a command or even a curse.

Xia Ruoxin pursed her lips. She felt some discomfort. There were scars, deep and shallow, hidden under her eyes. Was this his way of showing her his concern?
