Chapter 126 - : Just Because He Doesn’t Love Her
But…
“You don’t have to apologize to me. Really. When a man stopped loving you, it had nothing to do with anyone. I know that. I understand.” Xia Ruoxin smiled—a small and uncertain smile.
“What could your apologies possible do?”
Song Wan had said sorry to her, but she still wanted Chu Lui and her to go through the divorce.
Li Manni was also sorry to her, but she, too, couldn’t leave Chu Lui.
So, she had no need for apologies. Did she?
One had to say sorry to another many times in this world; some would be forgiven while others wouldn’t. For her, she accepted their apologies; but she couldn’t forgive them.
“I am truly sorry, but I really love Chu Lui. I don’t want to leave him. I know we are hurting you. However, there is really no point in continuing with a loveless marriage. Am I right? Maybe you will be able to have a brand new life after the two of you are separated. Instead of torturing each other, why don’t you seek your own life? Isn’t it better?”
Li Manni straightened herself as she tried, intricately, to explain her side of the story. To be frank, she did not feel more superior to Xia Ruoxin. Their biggest difference was the attitude of that man.
He loved one but not the other.
He had one, but he hated the other.
This was why their greatest difference was that man.
“I know the difference between being loved and not. You don’t have to explain further. I understand.” Xia Ruoxin smiled absentmindedly and placed her hand over her chest. Upon hearing the phrase ‘being loved and not’, her heart ached. So, even a numb heart felt pain.
Burst after burst of pain—it almost took her breath away.
Li Manni was not prepared to hear this reply. She fell silent for a moment. If Xia Ruoxin had reacted negatively and scolded her or blamed her, then she could easily have responded in kind.
However, she hadn’t. There were no accusations or hatred from her, nothing at all. This sort of behavior from her had caused Li Manni to feel bad inside.
It was not because she had felt sorry for her. She did not like her character in the slightest bit. It made her feel inferior compared to her.
“Then…” She wanted to say more.
However, she squinted her eyes abruptly. A familiar light flashed in front of her, and she went into shock. All of a sudden, she was unsure of how she should react.
Someone was secretly taking photos of her. Those were the flashlights from a camera. No, she didn’t want this. She didn’t want to be labeled as a third party on the headlines. She would never be able to live a dignified life if this happened.
That person who had taken her photo had snapped twice. He had no idea he would receive this unexpected information. A love triangle within the wealthy and influential families, this was certainly some explosive news.
“Don’t take my photo. Stop taking my photo!” Li Manni shielded her face with her hands as she retreated shakily. This was what she was most terrified of. Not like this. She would be a laughingstock to everyone.
Xia Ruoxin’s eyes widened suddenly.
“Look out!” A car was fast approaching them. Unknown to Li Manni, she was still retreating completely unaware that the car would crash into her soon.
Xia Ruoxin walked up instinctively. She could not see that woman die before her eyes even though she had robbed her of her husband. She knew that if a man had truly loved a woman, then no one could have shaken him.
“AH!”
The sound of a car screeching came from behind as the woman screamed. It was a mess. Xia Ruoxin pulled Li Manni’s clothes and tried to get her to safety. However, her fingers were still swollen—yet to recover. It was so painful that she bit her lip.
Come here, come here. Stop going backward.
