Chapter 189

C189 – Why Did You Have to Torture Me Like This?

Mu Sifa’s fury flared up when he was beaten, but it vanished instantly when he saw Shang Cijie’s red-eyed scolding.

He accepted Shang Cijie’s embrace and uttered, “I’m sorry,” his voice sounding strained.

Shang Cijie’s eyes welled with mist as he held Mu Sifa.

In contrast, Shang Mingming was taken aback by the gentleness of Mu Sifa’s embrace, which stirred a peculiar feeling within him. Ah, so this man truly felt moved by my father.

“Don’t touch me,” Shang Mingming pushed Mu Sifa away.

However, this silence lasted only a dozen seconds before Shang Cijie broke it.

Mu Sifa’s eyes filled with pain. He yearned to express how much he missed and regretted everything to Shang Cijie. Yet, the current Shang Cijie was not receptive to his explanations.

“Do you despise me?”

He asked, though he didn’t want to and already knew the answer. Nevertheless, Mu Sifa desired to hear it directly from Shang Cijie.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Mu Sifa quickly caught up.

“My whereabouts are none of your concern,” Shang Cijie retorted, holding Shang Mingming and walking ahead.

“Shang Xiaojie, must you torment me like this?” Mu Sifa cried out in anguish.

Shang Cijie ignored him and continued on his way.

Shang Mingming was in high spirits and bid farewell with a smile, but his parting words were laced with a hint of mockery, “Uncle, next time we meet, please make sure to keep your composure!” With that, he vanished into the closing elevator.

By the time Mu Sifa reached it, it was already too late. “Did he really just leave like that?”

“Damn it!” Mu Sifa frantically pressed the elevator button, but as someone was constantly calling it from downstairs, he had no choice but to take the stairs.

Inside the office, Elina, who had been pushed aside, trembled against the wall, her face drained of color.

“Shang Xiaojie...” Shang Xiaojie had borne a child for Mu Sifa? That troublesome child was the product of their relationship? Their child?

Elina’s mind went blank. The scene before her seemed surreal, as if she couldn’t comprehend it.
