Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Lui, I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone?” Yvette touched her wavy wine-red hair that was naturally oozing with charm, making her attention-grabbing. She was passionate and sexy. Her red lips looked as if they were coated with nectar, enticing people to kiss them.

Chu Lui put down the wineglass in his hand. He then removed Xia Ruoxin’s tight hands from his arms.

“I’m leaving for a bit. Stay here for a little while.” He lifted his eyebrows indifferently and turned around heartlessly, leaving with Yvette. Xia Ruoxin could only dumbly stare at their retreating figures. At that moment, she felt as though she was abandoned, and somewhere deep inside, a part of her heart clenched.

She turned back. She lifted a wineglass with trembling hands and drank it, wanting to give herself some courage. She held the wineglass tightly with both her hands, feeling as if everyone was looking at her.

She didn’t recognize anyone. Their gazes were neither friendly nor polite.

“Mrs. Chu, it’s been a long time.” A stranger’s voice rang from beside her. Xia Ruoxin raised her head to look at the man who had, unbeknownst to her, stood in front of her. It’s been a long time? But they have never met each other before.

“Who are you, if I may ask?” Her eyes were filled with slight confusion, mixed with naivety and innocence. Yes, it’s those eyes. The man’s eyes suddenly lit up, his hand also took a wineglass from the side. He swirled the wineglass in his hand, the corner of his eye darkened with an obvious ill intention.

“Have you forgotten, Mrs. Chu? We met on your wedding day. I will never forget such a scene... I remember it as if it just happened yesterday.”

His eyes landed on her long legs that were partially hidden by her dress. His blatant ogling made Xia Ruoxin feel uncomfortable.

The incident he was talking about was something she would never forget, too. It was humiliating and embarrassing. She recalled the eyes she felt on her legs the day she fell. Such an understanding made her feel as if she was naked and being mocked by everyone.

“Mrs. Chu, this is my name card. Feel free to contact me if there’s a need.” The man stuffed a name card into her hands, his hand accidentally brushed against her breasts. Or maybe it was not an accident.

Xia Ruoxin stepped back in a hurry, her grip loosening, and the name card fell to the floor. She did not pick up the name card but declined him in a low voice.

“I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t think there will be any need for me to contact you.” She turned around, not wanting to talk to the man any further.

The man put down the wineglass in his hands and crossed his hands across his chest, admiring her naked back. “Acting all high and mighty even though you’re dressed like that?” The man’s voice was thick with sarcasm. “I’ll give you however much money you want. I wonder what Chu Lui’s wife will be like on a bed. It makes me anticipate. I have slept with countless women, but sleeping with Chu Lui’s woman will be a first.”

His voice was not loud, but a number of people had heard him. They were smiling with mockery, making Xia Ruoxin feel extremely embarrassed. She wished she could dig a hole and throw herself in, and maybe fall to her death.

She gripped her hands tightly and walked out in big strides. There was no noise outside. It was extremely quiet. But when the cold air blew, she felt an unspeakable chill.

It was a chill to the bones, a chill to her core, an excruciating chill.
