“I want to marry Ruoxin.”

“No!”

“Never!”

Both women stood up and rejected.

Chu Lui looked at both women lightly; it was reasonable for Song Wan to reject, but as for Xia Yixuan… what reason and status did she have to reject?

Xia Yixuan’s face was burning, and she did not know where to put her awkward hands.

“Mom, I only came over to inform you.” Chu Lui stood up and placed one hand in his pocket. “I don’t care what you guys want. I will marry Ruoxin.”

“I don’t agree.” Song Wan stood up suddenly, threw her cold sentence, and returned to her room; slamming the door shut.

Chu Lui raised his eyebrows as if he had expected all of this. If Song Wan had agreed so readily, then she would not be Song Wan.

Also, he lowered his head and stopped his harsh gaze on Xia Yixuan, which made her want to disappear. She started to be uneasy and scared.

“Xia Yixuan, please don’t come to my house anymore. We don’t welcome you here.” His words were cold and harsh, which almost made Xia Yixuan break down.

“Brother Lui, how could you do this to me?” Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes; and her heart started to hurt. This was the first time that she felt such a heartache all because of this man; how could he do this to her? How could he? She was Yixuan, the one that he loved the most since he was young.

“Then, how do you want me to treat you?” Chu Lui did not even want to say one extra sentence to this woman.

Xia Yixuan’s lips closed and felt a huge grievance. She had never felt so wronged ever since she was young.

Chu Lui turned around and went toward the exit. He had already said the matter, and other people’s displeasure had nothing to do with him. He would marry his own wife.

When he was about to open the door, Xia Yixuan became crazy and hugged him tightly from the back.

“Brother Lui, can we go back to the past? Let’s be fine just like the past? I love you; I really do.”

Love? To hear this word from Xia Yixuan’s mouth, he felt disgusted.

He turned around and removed Xia Yixuan’s arms before holding her lower jaw tightly. There was no tinge of warmth in his eyes.

“Xia Yixuan, do you think I’m a fool? You said you love me today, but who will you love tomorrow? Your love is too big; I can’t handle it at all. Do you still think that I am the Chu Lui of the past? My love was never meant for you. It was for the bride that I just got engaged to. Sometimes, I can’t even remember how you look like. How dare you tell me about love?

“This type of woman who did not even know what love is, what right do you have to talk to me about love?

“Hah…” He sneered. All of this, everything was started because of the woman in front of him. If it was not for her, he would not have missed his Ruoxin for so many years. If it was not for her, he would not have married Li Manni and faced his infertility issue.

All of them were being played in her hands. How dare she talk to him about love?

Love… did she deserve it?

He pushed Xia Yixuan’s chin with all his might, opened the door, and left in big steps.

“Chu Lui, I won’t let go of you. I will never!” Xia Yixuan behind him wiped her mouth, and her makeup was already long gone from her tears. The love that she could not have and the hatred she could not do had already expanded long ago. As for certain people, the hatred had just seeded and just started to grow.

…

“We’re here.” Chu Lui got off and brought Xia Ruoxin to a place.

“What is this place?” Xia Ruoxin stood up straight. For the whole morning, he brought her around to run errands; they took photos and signed lots of papers.

“You will know when you get down.” Chu Lui got off the car, opened the door, and let her come down.

Xia Ruoxin walked over, and in her high heels, her legs looked even more beautiful. Under the sunlight, her silky skin sparkled even more.

It was only that pair of eyes and her lips that gave her maturity and also her elegance. She had suffered too much so perhaps this was heaven’s pity for her.

The older she got, she was as if a butterfly that broke out from a cocoon and was much prettier. Her eyes, her brows… her nose; all of them were perfect.

Today, she was wearing a silk long dress that exposed her pearly white arms which did not make her look like an Asian but a Westerner instead. Just that, right now, she was lacking some color and did not smile often. If she was back to the way she used to be, she would be outstanding.

Chu Lui brought her to a small office, and someone gave her something to sign without letting her look at what the document was about. The person just made her sign and put her fingerprint.

Chu Lui took a piece of clean tissue and cleaned her fingers carefully.

“Chu Lui, are you selling me?” Xia Ruoxin turned around and asked him. Of course, if he was going to sell her, she would not be afraid as there was nothing more that she could lose.

“No, I’m selling myself.” Chu Lui laughed, and when her finger was clean, he held it tightly and placed them on her knees.

Not long later, two official documents were placed in front of them.

Xia Ruoxin then took the documents and placed it on her leg.

As expected, she sneered in her heart. She had sold herself; she sold herself to this man once again. Of course, this man sold himself to her as well and asked for the other portion; she was conflicted.

This was a form for the transfer of assets. Now, all the assets under Chu Lui’s name were for her, including his company shares, his frozen estates, his house, and his car. They were all under her name. That meant that she had actually become a billionaire. If she was willing, all the man’s assets were hers. No, they were already hers.

She could even sell him out and make the Chu family lose everything.

A life for a life; it seemed pretty fair. She had sold herself for a pretty good price.

As for the others—in the future on her accounts, Chu Lui’s name would be on the husband column.

At night, Chu Lui brought over the new accounts. On top, there was her, him, and another name—Chu Zhixi.

Rainy’s new name. From Rainy, she became Rainy Gao and then Chu Zhixi. Just that, her daughter would never be called this name for the rest of her life.

She flipped the page and realized Chu Xiang’s name was not there.

“What about Chu Xiang?” She placed the accounts aside. Was the child that Song Wan adopted not registered under Chu Lui’s name?
