Zhang Yimin and Chen Nian right? Good. Very good. They will pay a high price for the things they had said.

Many things had a beginning, followed by a process. Once a process has been established, there will be an outcome. This may cause incidents beyond his imagination. It is also beyond his prediction. After all, Chu Lui was only human—not a god.

He came back to the man-made garden where the woman’s scent seemed to linger. His eyes darkened. She had been here. Then she might have seen whatever had happened just now.

“Shit!” he suddenly cursed quietly as he ran his fingers through his hair. He had abandoned her here on purpose, but he never thought that anyone would dare harbor ideas about his woman. And now, that woman had performed a disappearing act. Was that her revenge or protest?

The hand on his short hair clenched tight again, then he walked out with long purposeful strides. He could convince himself to not care about her, but he could not control his own legs.

Once he got on the car, he kept peering out. Xia Ruoxin, you stupid woman! Did she know what she was doing, running out without a word? She had cost him to lose several contracts that he almost signed and the monetary losses. Did she think that this was a normal cocktail party?

The car went slowly. As time grew longer, he began to develop an indescribable fear from within. What happened to her tolerance and endurance? Was she not aware of how dangerous it was to walk with that attire?

Wasn’t she afraid that she would possibly become a victim of rape and kill? At that thought, he gripped the steering wheel tighter to the extent that his knuckles turned a ghastly white. His fingers and bones had been clearly defined but now, it looked hideous.

An occasional flicker from that gown fell into his sight as a beam of light shone ahead. The car came to a screeching stop. He stepped out and walked over with long strides. Every part of his body was shaking with uncontrollable anger. This woman... he is going to kill her. He will kill her!

The moment he saw her state, his anger vanished out of nowhere. All that was left was a strange feeling of crabbiness.

Xia Ruoxin hugged her body tight and huddled on the long bench. Her legs were squeezed snuggly together. Under the streetlights, that woman’s face was pathetically pale. Her long eyelashes looked slightly moist.

“Xia...”Chu Lui raised his hand in mid-air. In the end, he simply squatted beside her as he put his hand on her face. It felt unnaturally warm to his touch.

“Stupid woman. You’re having a fever.” It did not come from hate. Instead, it was a sigh. Some would even say a helpless one.

He put his hand on her forehead and felt her temperature again. It really was a fever.

She’s having a fever.

“Xia Ruoxin... Xia Ruoxin...” Chu Lui patted her face. It was so gentle that he did not know he had it in him. If it was in the past, he wouldn’t care whether she was dead or alive. But now, he just couldn’t bear to.

He was not done exacting his revenge. He finally began to have struggles deep down.

“Xia Ruoxin. Wake up. If you don’t, I will feed you to the wolves.”

“There is no zoo in the vicinity...” Xia Ruoxin merely fluttered her eyelashes. She might have heard him between consciousness, but her reply almost made Chu Lui strangle her.
