Chapter 193 - Farewell!
Chapter 193 – Farewell!
Her eyes flew open as she looked at the man who stepped inside. A sense of relief washed over her and she let her guard down. Her body swayed slightly as she ended up falling on the bed, still struggling to keep her eyes open.
When he finished all his work and came here to join her, he was informed that she was resting in the room but this was not the scene he expected to witness. If not because of her delayed response when he knocked on the door, he wouldn't have broken it.
Looking at her condition, his eyes narrowed slightly. And if he hadn't barged inside the room, he did not want to think what would have happened to her.
Zhu Boqin gritted his teeth. She had almost submitted to him if not for this untimely interruption, "You…"
Before he could utter another word, a fist appeared in his vision, and just as it enlarged, he found himself flying back to the floor. The back of his head once again hit the rigid surface as he hissed.
"Cough…" Blood oozed out of his mouth as he spat a broken tooth.
"Z-Zixuan," She extended her hand towards him. Her body was burning hotter and her vision was a bit blurry. With all the chaos going on, she could barely see him.
He removed his white suit jacket and draped it on her before carrying her up from the bed. "Sorry for being late," He kissed her forehead.
Despite being weak, she managed to bite his chest, "H-Humph! Go, Go to your work. Who am I? W-What am I to you?"
The frown on his face disappeared as the ice in his eyes seemed to have melted in one second, "My darling, of course."
A few men in black uniform entered inside the room, "Shall we take him?" One of them asked.
Just as Jun Zixuan was about to nod, his gaze landed on Li Shuang who was standing rooted to her spot near the entrance. He then glanced at Yu Mei who was already looking at her friend in shock.
"No need," Not for now. He mouthed before walking out of the room.
"Shuang…" Yu Mei called out but the woman did not look at her as her gaze was fixated on the profusely bleeding man, laying in the middle of the room.
Jun Zixuan also did not stop there.
"A-Ah Jin?"
He looked at the woman in his arms, "Can you stop worrying about everyone? Ah Jin has left with Steward Gu."
She sighed in relief and snuggled closer to him before closing her eyes. Once she slept, the itchiness in her body will disappear. She would not feel hot. Yes, everything will be fine.
While the couple left the hotel, Jun Zixuan's men also followed after but Li Shuang still stood rooted to her spot. Her face remained indifferent as usual as she looked at the man writhing in pain.
After a few seconds, she finally walked towards him.
The 'click' sounds produced by her heels caused him to raise his head, "A-Ah Shuang? I-I…"
She extended her hand towards him, "Sit," Her tone neutral.
The man put his palm in her hand, "Ah…" He forced himself to sit.
She held his shoulder before helping him lean back on the edge of the bed before walking towards the bedside table. Pulling open the drawers, she grabbed the first aid kit and walked back to him.
She squatted on the floor and cleaned the wounds on his face. He hissed. She cleaned the rest of his injuries with the same pace despite him flinching occasionally. "Did it hurt?" Her emotionless eyes met his confused ones.
He nodded, "A bit…"
"A lot," The corner of her lips tugged up in a rare gentle smile, "It hurt me a lot."
His gaze flashed as an uncomfortable feeling rose in his chest. For some reason, this usually cold woman appeared pitiful today and it made him feel stuffy inside, "Ah Shuang, I…"
Li Shuang stood up before smoothening the creases on her royal blue bodycon dress, "Farewell, Boqin."
He froze and immediately grabbed her wrist, "A-Ah Shuang, it was a momentary mistake. It was her who has been taking initiatives all this while and I…I am a man. She would give me those inviting looks when I pass by. I was just swayed. It has been years since we are in a relationship and I have never looked at anyone else. You know I love you, right? Don't be stubborn."
"Let go," She looked at the man sitting on the floor, her face emotionless.
"I won't. You have to listen to me…"
"Come in," Li Shuang glanced at the door and before Zhu Boqin could realize what was going on, three men stepped inside before bowing to her, "Young Miss."
"Young Miss? Aren't you orphan?" Zhu Boqin glanced at her in disbelief while one of the men pried open his grip on her wrist.
"Let him go. Don't hurt him," Li Shuang paused near the door and glanced at the man from above her shoulder, "I don't want to see you. Ever again," With that, she left without sparing him another glance.
Her face remained indifferent as she walked out of the hotel. Streaks of tears rolled down her cheeks getting melded in the raindrops. Thoroughly drenched, she did not know how long she walked on the road. She did not know where she was. She just kept going, wandering aimlessly.
Her ankle twisted and she ended up falling on the ground, the mud splashed on her body as vehicles passed by. Burying her face in her knees, she sat on the road, for who knows how long.
Her body quivered and her breathing turned ragged. Her small sobs got lost in the heavy downpour as her vision turned blurry.
'Screech.'
'Bam.'
"Die if you want to. Don't come under my car. You ruined my whole car sex plan. Do you realize how serious this is? I can sue you…" Mu Shen paused when he noticed the long hair. A woman?
