Chapter 4

Cheng Rourou shrank pitifully in the bedroom doorway, her clothes mostly torn by herself.

I forcefully withdrew my hand, frowning tightly.

Her manicure scratched my hand, leaving three bloody marks from my fingers to my elbow.

"Jiang Miao! What are you doing!"

Xing Zhao, boiling with anger, rushed over and punched me, hitting me right in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

My lower back hit the coffee table, a heart-wrenching pain surged through my abdomen, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Brother Xing~ I don't know why, I was just waiting for you at the door, Sister Miaomiao came back, cursed at me, and tore my clothes like crazy..."

"It was so scary, I've never seen such a scary woman, Brother Xing, I feel sorry for you."

Cheng Rourou looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes.

"Jiang Miao! Rourou came kindly to see you since she knew about your abortion! Not only were you ungrateful, but you also made a scene here!"

"You're even jealous of my secretary, what's wrong with you?"

Xing Zhao glared at me fiercely.

A bitter smile appeared on my lips, only four days, and whatever they say goes.

"Brother Xing, since Sister Miaomiao doesn't like me, I'll just leave... she was right to curse me, this really isn't a place for someone from the countryside like me."

"But it's so dark outside, I'm not like Sister Miaomiao, wandering around in the middle of the night, that scares me."

Cheng Rourou looked aggrieved, her big watery eyes fixed on Xing Zhao.

"Ha! This villa was purchased by me before marriage; I'd like to see who dares to drive you away. Rourou, you'll sleep in the master bedroom tonight."

Xing Zhao opened the door and helped Cheng Rourou onto the bed.

The bed had my newly changed sheets.

Xing Zhao never took care of me, nor did he agree to have outsiders in our home,

I've been the one taking care of the household chores, shopping, and cooking all these years.

Even during my periods, pregnancies, and abortions...

But now, Cheng Rourou has entered our home and slept in my bed.

It seems Cheng Rourou is already considered an insider to him.

Good thing...

I've already forgotten those promises from the past.

"Wish you a good night's sleep."

I said flatly.

"Letting Rourou sleep in your bed? Aren't you angry?"

Xing Zhao looked at me suspiciously.

I lowered my head to look at the wounds on my arm, the blood slowly seeping through, looking rather miserable.

"Yeah, I'll just stay somewhere else."

"You've finally come to your senses!"

My change in attitude brought a gentler tone to Xing Zhao's voice.

"Brother Xing, Sister Miaomiao seems injured, she just had an abortion, her health isn't good, shouldn't we take her to the hospital?"

Cheng Rourou spoke insincerely, in fact diverting Xing Zhao's attention back to herself.

"No need, it's her own fault."

The gentleness just now vanished in an instant, Xing Zhao's gaze turned cold, as if looking at garbage.

"Brother Xing, my stomach hurts, I think I caught a chill..."

"Jiang Miao! Aren't you going to come over and apologize to Rourou? If it weren't for you, Rourou wouldn't be shocked, let alone catch a chill!"

Xing Zhao glared angrily.

I tugged at the corner of my mouth, took a deep breath to ease the intense pain, then headed out.

A lovestruck Xing Zhao has no brains.

Cheng Rourou scratched my wound,

from the depth and angles, it's clear she was holding onto my hand,

the marks left from me struggling to break free.

Unfortunately, Xing Zhao wouldn't think about that.

"Jiang Miao! Stop!"

"Where are you going?"

Xing Zhao, panicking, got up to chase after me.

Next to him, Cheng Rourou quickly grabbed his hand, letting out a painful scream.

The sound was as sharp as a cat in spring.

"Didn't I say? I'm going out to stay."

Every extra second here dirties my eyes.

"Brother Xing, it hurts so much..."

Cheng Rourou pleaded bitterly.

"Jiang Miao! If you dare walk out, don't ever come back for the rest of your life!"

I pretended not to hear, forcefully shutting the front door.

No need to think; Xing Zhao would surely be left behind by Cheng Rourou again.

This time, I'm actually grateful to her.

Grateful she picked up such a big mess.
