“The court has already ruled on our divorce. I’ll be marrying Lin Xinxin next month. I’m here today just to tell you.”

Through the cold iron bars, Hai Xiaotang stared emptily at the handsome and noble man in front of her.

He was the shining myth of C City, the most powerful emperor.

In terms of appearance, family background, ability, all were unparalleled.

Yet he was still her husband, but now… they had entirely severed that final weak link.

She thought she would be his wife until death.

Trembling with self-mockery, Hai Xiaotang said, “I truly do not deserve to be your wife…”

He was still a legendary figure at present.

And her? Her once youthful and beautiful face had been entirely eroded by jealousy, hatred, and pain…

Even worse, she was a condemned criminal who was about to be executed by shooting!

How could a dirty creature as she deserves him, the radiant sun.

Dongfang Yu’s gaze at her was cold and emotionless: “This will be our last meeting. Do you have anything else to say?”

Hai Xiaotang’s lips parted to reveal her dry, white lips, “I just want to ask, did you ever like me, even a little bit?”

“…”

The man didn’t answer. His cold, silent expression was enough to say it all. No!

Hai Xiaotang closed her eyes in profound despair.

She thought her heart had numbed with pain, but it turned out to capable of more hurt, a hurt that left her without any hope of living.

“All along, it was just unrequited love,” she murmured, managing a calm, subdued laugh, “I won’t be a burden anymore.”

Becuase she was going to die soon…

Dongfang Yu looked at his watch before getting up. In a deep, indifferent voice, he said, “Hai Xiaotang, if you knew this would happen, why did you even begin?”

Her fate now was self-inflicted.

Besides a trace of pity for her, he had no other feelings.

Just as Dongfang Yu was about to leave, he heard a hoarse, yet somewhat crisp voice from behind, “Brother Dongfang…”

He paused, turning around to see Hai Xiaotang resolutely hitting her head against the wall—

Thud!!

The impact resonated with a terrible echo and her skull cracked brutally!

Hai Xiaotang’s frail body slid onto the ground.

Dongfang Yu’s pupils contracted, his whole vision filled with blood!

He had not expected her to choose such a ruthless way to leave…

Looking at the girl lying on the cold ground, it seemed as though he heard her blood-soaked murmuring.

“If I had known, I…wouldn’t have…loved you…”

*************

Inside the bleak hospital room.

Hai Xiaotang, lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened her eyes.

“You’re awake.” A cold, indifferent voice came from nearby.

She turned her head and saw Dongfang Yu sitting by her bed. As soon as she saw him, her heart ached immensely – an almost unbearable throb.

Was she not dead? Why was she not dead?

She didn’t want to face him again, face this desperate world, why keep her alive?!

Even if she hadn’t died, she would be executed by shooting soon.

With that thought, Hai Xiaotang’s tumultuous heart quickly turned cold, deathly silent…

“Hai Xiaotang.” The man leaned closer, his eyes cold and icy, his face showing barely concealed disgust, “Why can’t you even succeed in killing yourself?”

“…” Hai Xiaotang smiled faintly, “I’d like to know that too, why I failed to kill myself.”

Dongfang Yu was taken aback.

Her calm manner was not what he expected.

He had thought upon hearing his words, she would argue and rage as she always did.

But her response was slightly unexpected, although he didn’t think much of it.

“Hmph…” He sneered coldly, mercilessly, “Even when you die, don’t drag others down with you.”

Finished, without willing to glance at her again, he got up and strode out.

Drag others down?

Hai Xiaotang was puzzled by his words when Madam Zhang came in.

She had been the one to raise Hai Xiaotang, continuing to look after her even after her wedding.

“Miss, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Madam Zhang came in and asked, concerned.

Seeing her, Hai Xiaotang felt a touch of bitterness in her heart.

Even in her current state, she hadn’t expected Madam Zhang to still care for her so much.

Hai Xiaotang smiled slightly: “I’m fine.”

She was just regretful, why hadn’t she just died.

Madam Zhang sighed, “Miss, why are you so silly? You drove into Miss Lin’s car and even a car accident can easily result in an injury. Plus, it could have led to severe consequences. Don’t ever be so reckless again.”

Hai Xiaotang was stunned.

What was Madam Zhang talking about? She drove into Lin Xinxin’s car?

“Don’t worry miss. This incident was suppressed by Mr. Dongfang Yu, so there would be no impact on you. Although Lin Xinxin is also in the hospital, she only suffered minor injuries. Thankfully, you are both okay. If anything happened to you, how would I face the old master…”

Madam Zhang was speaking to herself, not noticing Hai Xiaotang’s increasingly strange expression.

From her words, Hai Xiaotang figured something was very wrong.

She had crashed into Lin Xinxin’s car a long time ago, that was an old history.

When did she hit Lin Xinxin’s car again?

Hai Xiaotang stretched out her hand, anxiously and fearfully touching her own forehead…

It was completely smooth, with no scars, and it didn’t hurt!

She had resolutely smashed her head against the wall in suicide, how could it be scarless now? She clearly remembered her head breaking open, and a lot of blood had flowed out…

Even if she didn’t die, she would certainly not come out unscathed…

“Miss, the doctor said there’s nothing wrong with you. You could be discharged from the hospital and go home today,” said Madam Zhang, smiling kindly. “Tonight, when we get back home, I will cook a delicious meal for you. Let’s not think about other worries. You need to understand, no matter how close Dongfang Yu is to Lin Xinxin, she can’t shake your position. As long as you are his wife, they absolutely cannot be together!”

“Madam Zhang,” Hai Xiaotang suddenly grabbed her wrist, startling her.

“Miss, what’s the matter?”

Hai Xiaotang stared at her anxiously, “Give me your phone, right now!”

Madam Zhang was puzzled about her request, but she quickly nodded and handed her the phone.

Hai Xiaotang took it, turned on the screen, and instantly saw the date!

She widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe.

How could this be… the time had actually travelled back to two years ago!

Hai Xiaotang felt her mind in chaos, struggling to accept this fantastical turn of events.

She pinched her thigh hard, wanting to reassure herself. Ah, it hurt!

This was not a dream!

“Miss, are you okay?”

“Madam Zhang, I can leave the hospital and return home today, and then nothing will happen?” She stared at her, asking in return.

Madam Zhang nodded, “Yes, you don’t need to worry. You have nothing to worry about. We can return home today.”
