Chapter 790: That Man is Dangerous

“Mm…” Shen Wei opened her eyes. “Why? Are you back?” Her voice sounded unclear; she must have just woken up or was still sleeping.

“I just came back.” Xia Ruoxin held the phone in her hand tightly. Actually, she did not know if she should ask about certain things.

“Say, what’s the matter?” Shen Wei sat up straight and felt that Xia Ruoxin had something to ask her about.

Not long later, in a quiet tea house…

Shen Wei always liked to visit this place. She sat up straight and personally brewed tea for Xia Ruoxin.

Her movements were elegant, comparable to Xia Ruoxin. It was not hard to tell from her actions that she used to be a daughter of a distinguished family, an elegant lady. Just that how she landed in her predicament sought for investigation.

Xia Ruoxin picked up the tea Shen Wei brewed and drank it. Their relationship was built on picking gold so their experiences were more golden than average friends’.

“I met someone there.”

“Mm…” Shen Wei answered lightly. She knelt on the floor and touched the cup in her hand. She looked like she did not quite like the topic.

“I met a man.”

“Oh…” Shen Wei did not have a big reaction.

“There was half an acacia red bean on his wrist.”

Shen Wei held the cup in her hands tightly by surprise before placing the cup at her lip. The tea was still hot, but she did not seem to feel it.

“He said his name was Mo Ming.” Xia Ruoxin continued.

Shen Wei raised her eyes.

“What do you wish to know?”

“I don’t want to know anything.” Xia Ruoxin had no intention of learning about other people’s privacy. “I just want you to be careful; I feel…” Actually, she did not know if her intuition was right.

“That man is very dangerous.”

“I know.” Shen Wei pulled a face which tugged at her heart. No one knew it better than her about how dangerous that man was. Because of him, she was doomed eternally. Right now, all she had was this one life which she owed Brother San. She would never be as stupid to offer her only life to the coward and jerk.

“He said…”

Xia Ruoxin did not know if she should say the next sentence.

“What did he say?” Shen Wei seemed to not care, but in her bright eyes, there was some darkness. Perhaps it was because of the lighting from the window or because of her heart.

“He said…” Xia Ruoxin paused before continuing slowly.

“Half of the bean was left behind by his wife.” When the man looked at the red bean, it seemed as if he was talking to his sweetheart. However, she knew that behind his devotion, was unmistakable pain.

She only came to warn Shen Wei that the man was dangerous.

“Wife?” Shen Wei laughed suddenly.

“Ruoxin, do you think this joke is funny?”

Xia Ruoxin did not laugh because she did not think this was a joke. She did not understand her past… just like how many people did not understand her past with Chu Lui. However, was her past a joke?

If it was, it would be pretty funny.

Shen Wei finished laughing and lay on the table, with her fingers lightly knocking against the cup on the table. The knocks did not have a rhythm or a tune; it was just knocks that signified her pricking pain.

“Ruoxin, will you live with Chu Lui?”

Xia Ruoxin’s red lips touched each other. She did not know how to answer the question. She clearly came here to talk about Shen Wei; how did the conversation become about her instead?

“That man isn’t too bad.” Shen Wei did not get up and continued with her posture.

“Actually, it’s not difficult to forgive; what difficult is to get back together.”

Xia Ruoxin picked up the porcelain cup on the table and sat to the side, thinking about what Shen Wei said. Forgiveness was easy, but it required a lot of courage. At this point, she was not sure if she could take the risk again.

Even though the man’s performance was really good, there were some things she could not afford to gamble with. Perhaps that day at the gold island, she did think of marrying that man again if she had the chance even if he had married three times. Just that when she came back, she realized that sometimes, reality was very complicated. However, no matter how complicated it was, there would always be some gaps, right?

Actually, even she did not realize that her heart was fluttering and leaning towards a certain direction. Perhaps all she needed was just a little more.

She turned around, and Shen Wei was still in the same position, one of her fingers still knocking on the glass cup on the table.

She vaguely heard her humming a song.

Vaguely, what hurt her ears was an unspeakable sadness.

I know that neither of us is wrong.

I just forgot how to step back.

Our hearts made promises to each other,

But it has been let down by time.

I know neither of us are wrong.

It would just be better if we let go.

Our beautiful love can continue in our memories.

Xia Ruoxin sat down, hugged her knees tightly. Pitter… patter… it seemed to be raining outside.

In the rain, she held up an umbrella. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks as the passer-by that walked past her in a hurry was playing some song.

It burned in her memories once again.

A heart-breaking ending,

Like breathing which can never be stopped.

The yellowed diary in the drawer

Wiped our memories dry. That smile was summer;

You and I, our past has really been wiped away as time goes by.

A love that lacked oxygen.

Careless tears are unnecessary…

She opened her eyes slightly, and the rain hit her cast from time to time. Suddenly, she wanted to take off the cast even if it might expose her muscles.

At this time, a car drove by her side and stopped. A man came down from the car, took off his coat, and placed it on her; whereas the rain quickly drenched him and hit him with pain.

The man’s mouth opened and closed, and for some time, she could not hear what the man said clearly.

After they went home, Chu Lui took a towel and wiped her hair expressionlessly as he spoke in a lukewarm voice.

“Did you forget what the doctor said? You can’t catch a cold. You’re still taking medicine, and you must finish them. If women don’t have that one, you will go into menopause earlier and become much older.”

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on her stomach as she understood what Chu Lui was talking about.

Her body was injured. The doctor said that she had suffered too much in the cold so she could not have children in the future. Chu Lui knew about this, but he kept trying to get her body back in shape. He made Chinese medicine for her every day personally because he heard the old physician say that the medicine made personally was much better than machine-made; hence, CEO Chu went to buy a medicinal pot personally. At the start, he boiled until it burned; and now, he could perfectly control it.

“I’ll bring the medicine over in a while.”
