Liu Yan pressed the play button.
“Xuyan, can you hurry up? I want it!”
“You little devil, you just can’t seem to get enough, can you? Where do you want it? Here?”
“Xuyan, you’re so mean! Don’t do that!”
“…” Bai Rong lowered her gaze in silence.
That was the recording she had heard the other day.
She felt nothing when she heard it again.
Liu Yan turned off the recorder, “What do you think? We have solid evidence on Su Xuyan cheating now, so the court will definitely approve of your divorce!”
“I sure hope so. Liu Yan, help me get that to the lawyer. I just want this thing to be over as soon as possible.” Bai Rong said decisively.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get this done in the afternoon today.”
Outside the door, Su Xuyan stood there with his eyes as red as the bouquet of roses in his hand.
Did she want to get divorced so badly that she had even gathered evidence on him?
As if he would let her have her way!
He would never let go of her until he was sick of toying with her.
However, he had a strange, unpleasant feeling in his heart.
He threw the flowers into the bin and started to make a phone call as he walked towards the dark corridor.
Soon after, Liu Yan’s phone rang.
After ending the call, Liu Yan sighed helplessly as she said, “The Head of Obstetrics said there’s an emergency operation and they are short on manpower, so they need me back there. I’ll come visit you later.”
“Alright, go on then. I’ll be fine.”
Liu Yan turned and hurried off.
Bai Rong picked up a Russian book that Gu Mingchen had left on the bed before, and flipped through it casually.
The book was filled with notes that he had written down.
His handwriting looked elegant and handsome, just like him.
A shadow appeared before her, and Bai Rong had a bad feeling as she looked up from her book.
Her shrill voice was filled with fear as she saw Su Xuyan, “What are you doing here?!”
He smiled devilishly, “You’re my wife, of course I’d be here.”
He snatched the book from her and had a vicious look in his eyes.
“Give it back!” Bai Rong tried to snatch it back from him, but he was too tall for her to reach it.
She almost opened up her wound as well.
“Su Xuyan, that’s not mine! I need to return it later!” Bai Rong shouted.
He grinned at her but his gaze was cold, “I know. I can tell that this is Gu Mingchen’s just by looking at it.”
He walked towards the window and tossed the book out.
“What are you doing?!” Bai Rong ran barefoot towards the window.
She became furious as she saw the book fall into a pond, “That’s not yours! Aren’t you being a little too much?!”
“What about you, then? Do you belong to me?” Su Xuyan shot back at her.
“Am I an item to you? Is that why you are able to just destroy me without hesitation?!” Bai Rong was losing her rationality.
Su Xuyan noticed the coldness in her gaze, and felt a sense of fear that he had never experienced before. It felt like she was fading away bit by bit as she disappeared from his life.
He didn’t want her gone.
Su Xuyan softened his tone, “I take back what I said about making you suffer. From today onwards, I’ll try to love you.”
From today onwards? It was too late for that now, as her mind was only filled with his cruelty and ruthlessness.
Bai Rong glared at him, and stormed out of the room.
Su Xuyan frowned.
She isn’t seriously going to pick up that man’s book, is she?
He followed her out the room in a fit of rage.
Bai Rong walked to the side of the pond and picked up the book.
Su Xuyan stared at her menacingly, and she quickly hid the book behind her as if she would protect it with her life.
“If you cheat on me with Gu Mingchen, his future in politics will be over!” Su Xuyan warned her.
She wouldn’t be cheating with Gu Mingchen, as she would soon be free from her marriage and could start dating him officially.
She stepped forward.
“Even if you did get a divorce with me, his family would not accept a woman like you either! Wake up, Bai Rong!” Su Xuyan raised his voice.
The mention of divorce made him panic.
Bai Rong looked down as she ignored him.
Su Xuyan walked up to her and grabbed her arm, “Start over with me. That’s the only way you can live the life you want. I can give you everything you desire.”
“You are no longer a part of the life I want.” Bai Rong’s eyes were red as she brushed his arm off.
He was no longer a part of her life?!
He couldn’t understand how women could stop loving someone so quickly.
He tightened his grip on her arm as he asked suspiciously, “Have you ever loved me?”
“What difference does that make for us now? Love isn’t even something we can use to describe our relationship with anymore.” Bai Rong said coldly.
“What is our relationship to you?”
“I wish I have never met you.” Bai Rong said firmly.
At this point, hatred was probably the only feeling she had towards him.
“In that case, I really should leave a mark on you, so you would never forget me.” Su Xuyan said coldly.
Bai Rong sensed danger in his eyes and struggled to break free from his grasp.
He tightened his grip on her as he reached his hand into her loose hospital gown.
But grabbing her breasts was not enough to satisfy him.
He reached around and tried to undo the buttons on the back of her gown.
Bai Rong got mad and slapped him across his face.
Su Xuyan seemed to have lost all rationality as he glared at her with bloodshot eyes.
He forcefully tore the gown off her and held her tightly by her waist.
Bai Rong could feel something hard pressing onto her as he pulled her into him.
She trembled in fear, “Let go of me, Su Xuyan! Don’t make me hate you!”
“Hate? Well, that’s better than treating me like a stranger! I don’t mind you hating me!” Su Xuyan said cruelly.
Bai Rong saw him begin to unzip his pants even though they were in broad daylight.
She kicked him in the groin, which sent him bending over in pain.
He looked at Bai Rong with his eyes full of rage, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
Bai Rong ran back into her ward and locked the door.
She then barricaded the door with the cabinet, table and bed as she felt it wasn’t secure enough.
“Bai Rong, open the door!” Su Xuyan was furious.
The door felt like it would break open with every kick.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every bang shook her to the core as she sat trembling on the bed, gripping Gu Mingchen’s book tightly in her hands.
She thought of asking him to help her, but he was working at that time.
This time, she had to hold her own.
“I’ll count to three, you’d better open the door! One!” Su Xuyan’s voice was like that of the devil’s.
If he really did break into the room, he would do more than just rape her. He would destroy her spirit completely.
“Two!” The voice from the door was filled with rage.
Bai Rong was really terrified as she didn’t want to have anything to do with Su Xuyan.
Her hands trembled as she called Gu Mingchen……
