He did not know why he was being so insistent. By thinking of ways to torture her, he was also torturing himself. He realized he had never forgotten her: her face was constantly on his mind, and he wanted to crush her so badly.

He was not done hating her. Not yet. He threw the newspaper down and sat on the sofa as his tensed muscles began to relax against its softness.

When he closed his eyes, he dreamed but could not remember what it was. The corner of his lips curled up; he had no idea when he had last smiled.

A ringing sound erupted from the phone, and he opened his eyes gradually. The smile was lost as he flipped his mobile phone open and placed it on his ear.

“Lui, our suits and gowns have arrived. When are we going in for a fitting?” It was Li Manni’s sweet voice from the other end.

“Tomorrow. I still have some work to do today.”

“Okay. I’ll wait for you, and...” Her sweet voice smooth like the flowing water. “Lui, I love you. I really do.”

Chu Lui mouthed. “I love you, too.” He hung up. It was an easy and routine reply. No one would be able to tell if he had replied truthfully.

He closed his eyes again as he leaned into the sofa quietly. There was no work to be done; he just wanted some peace.

The wedding ceremony was held on schedule. Many people came on that day to admire the newlywed couple; everyone envied the bride.

“The second wedding was even better than the first. It seemed this Chu Enterprise’s CEO is really in love with his bride!” Where there were women, there would be noise and—of course—gossip.

“Yeah. I remembered attending the first one. At that time, that woman’s thigh was exposed in front of so many people.” Another woman covered her mouth as she giggled.

“She might have done it on purpose. Isn’t that Xia Ruoxin a slut? There’s nothing strange about that,” said another, sourly. Even that kind of woman was able to marry Chu Lui. Why couldn’t they have the same fortunate fate? Life was so unfair.

Before she could finish, she felt an icy stare all of a sudden; and she cowered. What was that? How could it be so terrifying?

When she turned around, she saw that man. She took a step back.

Chu Lui, the most unforgiving man.

That woman gave a hollow laugh and lowered her head as she continued to retreat. It was as though Chu Lui could swallow a human whole. He had a handsome face, but it always looked terrifying to others.

“Lui, let’s go.” Li Manni, dressed in a white bridal gown, came over and put her arm around Chu Lui’s elbow. She had been searching for him for ages, and here he was, looking annoyed.

Chu Lui looked down at his bride who was beside him. In a blur, he recalled another woman who had married him. It seemed like it was only yesterday. Yet, at the same time, it felt like a lifetime ago—even a previous life. Everything had changed.

“Let’s go.” He ran his arm around Li Manni’s waist. From now on, she would be his wife. One he would love and care for. No cruelty or ruthlessness.
