Chapter 42. The woman in Li Zixuan's heart

Li Zixuan didn't dare to blink his eyes afraid that the person would disappear from his sight once he did so. His heart was thumping frantically against his chest and his face had lost color.

   A honk from a car snapped him to his senses. He opened the door and swiftly got out but the figure had already disappeared. He blinked severally hoping she'd magically reappear.

   He clenched his jaws tightly and kicked the car's front tyre with his right foot viciously. Dark veins were popping on his neck.

    Li Zixuan felt like someone was tightly squeezing his heart forcing him to gasp for air. His fists were clenched and his face was stiff as he tried to endure the suffocating pain.

    He laughed bitterly as he mocked himself inwardly.

   ' Hah, your illusions! Why would she be here instead of celebrating her 5th anniversary? She's a happily married woman after all, and you... the only thing she feels for you is hatred! '

   His chest tightened at the thought and the dizzy feeling in his head made his powerful body to slightly sway. His eyes were almost blurry and he blamed the alcohol he drunk. There was no way that person would be her. His facial features squashed together in pain and he lifted his hand absentmindedly to massage his head in order to ease the damn splitting headache.

   Li Jian and Li Haoran found him in a daze. He didn't seem to notice their arrival. They exchanged glances and shrugged. Li Jian looked at him and asked, " bro what happened? Look, I bought for everyone. The restaurant is quite awesome. Not only is their food great, they have some hot chicks too! "

   He cheery lifted the two bags of food Infront of Li Zixuan but his bright smile froze when he felt the murderous aura he was emitting.

  Li Zixuan entered the passenger seat and slammed the door leaving the two men speechless.

   The three drove to Li Zixuan's private apartment where he lived alone. Li Jian, Haoran and Lihua lived with him most of the times when they escaped the old mansion to run away from the elders constant naggings. Zixuan's house was big enough for the four cousins to comfortably live in after all.

   When Ellen and the kids left together with the Songs from the restaurant, it was already at 10.00 pm. Ellen was dead tired that she directly retired to her bed. The day had been extremely long and tiresome for her.

   She even forgot she was a mother and that her two children needed a proper bath before sleeping.

   Anyway why would she bother herself while Sunsun was there. Since she frequently sang how adorable the brats were, she'd deal with them herself.

   ' What's adorable in those rogues?! ' Ellen rolled her eyes. Sunsun never complained though. This wasn't new in the least. Sometimes she usually felt that the woman was only a mother in name. Everyone had had dinner in the restaurant thus after showering, they all retired to their beds.
