She leaned against the wall behind her, and her white face started to darken.

Knock, knock. She knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Chu Lui’s emotionless voice came from the inside.

Xia Ruoxin walked in and placed the documents on the table.

“CEO, these are the company’s documents. Please sign them.”

Chu Lui took them with one hand and placed it in front of him.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and sat on the couch to wait for Chu Lui to handle the documents before she brought them back.

She looked at the man sitting opposite her lightly. Time had never given him age but maturity and stability.

The twenty-year-old Chu Lui loved to show off his abilities, but the thirty-year-old Chu Lui was like a stable ancient sword without a sharp edge but could still sharpen metals like dirt.

Xia Ruoxin held her face up, and her long eyelashes batted downward.

Sometimes, she would think of the quiet days in the past. However, it was a pity that they could only love and kill each other for the rest of their lives.

Suddenly, Chu Lui raised his head. When he saw Xia Ruoxin’s seemingly smiling lips—for some reason, there was an unexplainable heaviness in his heart.

He placed the documents on the table and pushed them forward.

“Okay, you may leave.”

Xia Ruoxin stood up and checked the documents. As expected, all of them had Chu Lui’s mighty name.

“Thank you, CEO.” She hugged the documents, turned around, and left without looking back.

When she reached the door, she heard Chu Lui’s voice with questionable intention.

“Who exactly are you?”

“Who am I?” Xia Ruoxin turned around and blinked. “CEO, do you have amnesia? My last name is Lu. I’m Lu Xiaohua.”

Chu Lui squinted his dark eyes, and no one knew how many rounds there were inside his bottomless eyes.

“CEO, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

After Xia Ruoxin finished her sentence and seeing that Chu Lui had no other reaction, she opened the door and went out. In the end, Xia Yixuan appeared in front of her.

She did not know if she was haunting her or did she report too diligently.

“You’re here again?” Xia Yixuan frowned. “You have such a thick skin.”

Xia Ruoxin waved the documents in her hand. “What’s so thick-skinned about bringing documents to my boss as an employee of the Chu Enterprise? However, talking about thick skin, I think no one has thicker skin than Ms. Xia.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” Xia Yixuan could tell that Lu Xiaohua was mocking her.

“You know it yourself.” Xia Ruoxin hugged the documents and walked past Xia Yixuan proudly. However, when the two of them were the closest, she used a voice that was so soft until only both of them could hear.

“I’m really thankful to Ms. Xia for missing me so much and being afraid that I’m lonely so you sent me a man.”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Xia Yixuan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, but she was unwilling to admit that she was scared.

“Really?” Xia Yixuan’s pretend composure in her eyes had made Xia Ruoxin confirm that the man she stepped on was hired by her.

“Hmph!” Xia Yixuan grunted and turned around to ignore her. Of course, it was because of the uneasy anxiousness in her heart.

Just that, Xia Ruoxin’s voice followed her like a shadow.

“Doesn’t Ms. Xia want to know what happened to that man?”

Xia Yixuan paused for a moment, but she did not stop. She did not want to hear, but Xia Ruoxin continued; she had to hear it. Even if she covered her ears, that voice would use some other method to creep into her ears.

“I smashed that man’s balls. I broke him down there. Ms. Xia, you can find a few more and try.”

Xia Yixuan wobbled slightly and hurriedly held the wall for support. She opened the door to Chu Lui’s study and almost stumbled in.

“Hm? She’s still scared!” Xia Ruoxin frowned slightly. Why did the person, who was fearless when she was harsh to Xia Ruoxin and stabbed Song Wan, as scared as a dog now?

Now, Lu Xiaohua was not Xia Ruoxin. Some revenge had to be taken slowly.

Torturing someone could start from their dignity and their time, of course.

Xia Ruoxin opened Song Wan’s door, and once the nurses saw her, they hurriedly stood up.

“How’s Mrs. Chu?” She asked, but the gaze that landed on Song Wan was very cold.

“Still the same. The doctors also don’t know when she can wake up,” the nurse answered. Actually, vegetable people were very hard to explain in medical terms as no one could determine when she would wake up. Perhaps, it might be any time, or it might be a lifetime.

Song Wan was sleeping the whole time, and her face looked very healthy. However, no matter how healthy she looked, she was still a vegetable and had grown fatter. Her feet and hands started wrinkling. In a few years—no matter how well she was taken care of, this person would grow old day by day. She would die.

Suddenly, she wished that Song Wan would wake up one day and see her ghastly face. It would be amazing to see by then. However, it was not now; perhaps a few years later. Moreover, she believed that the person who did not want Song Wan to wake up the most was not her and not anyone else but Xia Yixuan. She knew that Song Wan’s life could not be kept until the day she woke up.

She walked to the door and changed her shoes. When she was about to leave, Chu Xiang ran over and tugged her sleeves.

“Auntie, can you stay?”

“Nope.” Xia Ruoxin slightly pulled Chu Xiang’s fingers away. Even though she had a kidney that belonged to Rainy—sorry, she would not like this child and would not stand up for her.

She pulled away Chu Xiang’s small hand and walked away in her heels. On the other hand, Chu Xiang clutched her clothes tightly and bit on her lip.

…

When Xia Yixuan came back from the Chu family, the sky was about to darken. For some reason, her car had broken down so she had to wait for the driver to fetch her, but he had something on at the last minute.

The Chu family’s driver was also out, and Chu Lui was busy so he could not fetch her. After waiting for half a day, she finally found a private hire car. In the end, this private hire car ran into a problem in the middle of the road. Even though she grumbled, she could only walk in her fifteen-centimeter high heels. Also, this car broke down at an inconvenient place. It was not near a village or shops; not only the road was hard to walk, but it was also far from the city.

“Damn it!” She could not help but grumble again.
