Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

His arms wrapped tightly around Xia Ruoxin. She didn't dare to struggle for fear of awakening him from his sleep. When he was awake, he was cruel.

Please let her stay there for a little longer.

"Little brother." Her hand gently caressed his face in the dark. "Did you know, little brother? I have been waiting for you for too long now, too. If torturing me will make you happy or even make you forget your pain, then I'm willing to submit to you. I will."

"As long as you won't suffer anymore."

She covered her mouth and silently wept.

She won't hate him. She really won't.

Her lips slowly morphed into a melancholic smile—it was moving and yet heartbreaking. It was a love so deep that she did not really mind getting hurt.

Even if there was only suffering, hurt and pain.

Even if there it's only hatred and no love.

She did not regret her choice, even if her heart and body have been scarred and broken. She had herself against Chu Lui's chest—it was warm. In her mind, she was already contented with nights such as that.

Just let her steal a little happiness, a happiness that belonged to Yixuan.

But she raised her head and glimpsed at the wedding photo of on the wall. It was as if Xia Yixuan's smile was mocking her, and so she closed her eyes.

When the sunlight seeped in through the curtains, filling the room, Chu Lui put his hand against his eyes. He was unaccustomed to such a glaring light. He then felt a slight weight on his shoulder, and when he lowered his head, he saw the woman in his arms.

His eyes furrowed, and he reached out his hand to put on her face—it was only the size of his palm. Upon looking closely, he realized he was indeed a beauty. He tried to look for a semblance of Yixuan on her face, but he realized how they both were different.

He retracted his hand. She was still sleeping. Her exquisite features on her white porcelain face showed a hint of softness and delicacy, unlike the sun that was currently glaring at him.

His hand moved from her face to the top of her neck. He opened his hand. His lips curled into a smile. If he puts some force into it, her neck might break.

But he quickly retracted his hand. A death like that would be too easy on her.

He lifted his head and looked at the wedding photo on the wall. The Yixuan in the photo was smiling sweetly, but she was now nowhere to be found. Her sister is the one to blame! If she had not let Yixuan drive, Yixuan would not be dead. And yet, the woman still played as if she was innocent and that disgusted him.

The worst way to torture a woman is not through her heart, not through her body, but to destroy her soul completely. It seemed she loved him dearly.

She loved him so much that even when he cruelly took her body, he could see that there were no traces of hatred in her eyes.

She really loved him dearly.

Men can naturally be cruel towards women they have no interest in. And not to mention, she was a woman whom he hated to the core.

He donned his work clothes and put on a tie. In front of the public, he was the CEO of the Chu Enterprise. Thousands of lives were on his shoulders. What he wants, he will get.

He spun on his heels and looked at the woman who still sleeping on the bed in disdain. His lips curled into a chilling smile, but it gradually turned into something extremely ruthless. Chu Lui was known to be merciless. In the business world, no one blatantly dared to offend him in the open. Otherwise, the consequence would be worse than death.

He was as cold-blood as he can be.
