Chapter 161 - Fate Played A Cruel Role Again.

----45 minutes ago ----

After seeing the two shadows, Yue Wan was prepared to flee from the place, but she accidentally caught sight of Doctor Bai's red-blooded coat.

Blood! Who's it? Did the same thing happen to Ye Xian like Li Rong!?

Yue Wan had turned as pale as a ghost thinking about that possibility and she quivered uncontrollably while struggling to breathe.

Not wasting a second, she sneaked inside and carefully avoided all the cameras due to her past training in the Xiao family.

Very soon, she approached Ye Xian's room where she could vaguely hear the quarreling of her brother's cold voice.

'Is HE inside Ye Xian's room? Are they fighting?'

At that moment, a name grabbed her attention.

"XIAO HUA!" Her big brother yelled.

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Yue Wan twisted the doorknob and right at the moment, like heaven helping her, thunder boomed and dispersed the door creaking sound.

From the slight gap, she couldn't see clearly but, caught sight of the man in half-sitting position on a bed not too far away from her. His face was turned away, so she could not see his appearance.

However, one thing was clear, that the man had half of his chest covered in bandages.

Before she could think, Yue Xiang's words ranged in.

Who's feelings are big brother talking about? Who is interested in Ye Xian? What does he mean ' he is a facade created by you..'!?

To know more, Yue Wan pushed the door open slightly, as the very intimate bone-cracking voice roared: "I am NOT toying with her."

Terror was written all over Yue Wan's face as she stared at HIM tearing off the mask of the person she likes and revealed a face that she has only seen in her nightmares. Even though she'd been reborn, her fear and rage for HIM was still buried deep in her bones and would never go away.

Her eyes widened and the blood vessels on his eye spread widely like a spiderweb. An immense level of anger rosed up inside her body. She dug her nails into her palms to maintain her composure and slowly walked away from the door.

At this moment, the hurried footsteps could be heard from the other side of the hall. Fearing that it might be one of HIS dark guards, Yue Wan opened the window and jumped down. Accidently, she knocked a metal vase off of the stand.

-----End-----

Following several long seconds, Yue Wan lifted her head up. Her golden glossy teary, eyes glazed with rage and a murderousness intent in them. As she blinked, the tears dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks.

Yue Wan was very cautious about everything around her but still, fate played a cruel role again.

How could it let her meet HIM again?

Staring at the dark sky through the windowpane, Yue Wan saw the rain like snow falling from the sky, evoking the memories that she had buried deep.

...Her past.....

She had lost her so-called love, her family, and even her dignity and freedom. She had lost everything. On top of that, she was labeled a murderer and a wicked woman. She had been so foolishly stubborn before and listened to others' advice which had led herself to be tormented again and again.

Then HE came into her life like a storm.

At that time, in order to distance her from others, Xiao Hua had caged her like an animal in that house.

For that reason, she had fought with HIM for countless days and nights. She even took the fight to Yue Xiang, but he had justified Xiao Hua and said it was all for her own good.

Those words drove a deeper wedge between the siblings and left Yue Wan with no one to turn to but Wei Wan and Li Rong. Under the deception of the other Xiao and Yue family members, she tried to disgrace Xiao Hua in public meetings and company gatherings.

She wore sexy outfits, drank like there was no tomorrow and danced intimately with his competitors just to bring shame to the Xiao family.

But she was wrong about one thing, after the first drug incident, Yue Wan's body no longer had any defenses against drugs compared to ordinary people, so just a few drops of a drug could make her more intoxicated.

Worst of all, drinking alcohol gave her higher stimulation, causing her whole body to behave abnormally. Xiao Hua hired an innumerable number of well-known doctors for her, but there was no cure to reduce the drug's effects on her.

Taking that time for granted, those cunning Xiao family members made a rumor that she was mentally unstable and lewd, so no one dared to approach her, even the servants. Yue Wan in that life didn't have slight patience, so she fought with them all and even raised her voice again Elder Xiao.

Elder Xiao, who was already with poor health after Xiao Ran passed away, fainted from Yue Wan's attitude repeatedly and finally became bedridden.

Shortly, Xiao Hua's temperament became cranky and unpredictable, which lead Yue Wan to try and escape from his clutches by running away time and again, but that only made things worse. His possessiveness towards her became intolerable, she became a doll that could only move around the house.

Although Xiao Hua forced her to stay by his side, he had never once touched her. She clearly remembered the day when they first had sex after 4 years of marriage. It happened when she had been drugged at a company party and he thought that she had brought it on herself but still, she hated every moment of it.

What right did he have to hurt her like that? She had been tormented by him thoroughly for the entire night.

-----Flashback continued to that day-----

Next day...

"Bang!——", the door was forcefully pushed open by someone.

Yue Wan had remained in the same position he'd left her in the night before. She still had her body curled in the fetal position and hadn't moved at all. When she heard the door open, her petite frame started shaking violently.

Xiao Hua stood up from the bed, fingers in a tight fist, eyes rooted to the person opened the door.

His gaze slowly landed on the woman shaking on the bed, hiding his dark eyes behind the hair, he walked out of the room.

And then he disappeared.

He was neither at the Xiao villa nor anywhere outside.

From the workers in the Xiao villa, she found that he left for The States. Even her brother was not reachable at that time.

She suffered from a very high fever for weeks, but there was no one to accompany her, not even the wind.

The loneliness ate her alive, swallowing every hope she had yet to spare. It feasted upon any happiness that she had left, leaving behind only an empty carcass. Full of despair and memories of her dad, she couldn't seem to hold onto anymore.

It clawed and squeezed out every bit of life circulating her. Without any warm hands embracing her, or any shoulders to cry upon, she felt like dying.

She needed someone to save her from this loneliness, to make her feel worthy of being loved. She shed a tear at the thought she might always be like this, hidden away in that barren home waiting for time to pass only to find out that...
