Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a long, long time, this battle of mutual torture finally ended.
Chi Baoguang stood up coldly and lowered his head to put on his clothes. Lisa lay weakly. She looked at Chi Baoguang’s back view with a painful and disappointed expression.
“Aren’t you afraid that your husband will find out if you act like this with me today?” Chi Baoguang pretended to be cold.
After a long moment, Lisa said, “I divorced him long ago.”
Chi Baoguang paused and was stunned. He did not notice that his gaze had become gentler.
Lisa looked at the sunset glow that filled the sky. She looked at the gentle and moving lights, but her eyes were filled with despair. She asked in pain, “Why…”
They had finally reunited. Why did he treat her like this?
Her love and pa.s.sion were completely hurt by the coldness and cruelty Chi Baoguang displayed.
The man who was wearing his s.h.i.+rt did not answer her, but he smiled sarcastically.
Why? Didn’t she know?
When she did not hear his reply, Lisa propped herself up and sat up.
When she saw the crisscrossing scars on Chi Baoguang’s back and waist and arms, she could no longer care about her heartache. Lisa slid off the table and endured the discomfort as she walked behind Chi Baoguang.
Lisa pressed her fingers gently against Chi Baoguang’s back.
Chi Baoguang suddenly stopped putting on his clothes. He did not turn around to look at her. He looked down at his bare feet and thought: Will her heart ache when she sees his ugly scars?
When he did not hear Lisa’s voice, Chi Baoguang realized that something was wrong and turned around.
When he turned around, Chi Baoguang saw Lisa with tears streaming down her face.
His Adam’s apple moved, but he remained silent.
Lisa looked pained as she asked Chi Baoguang. “Tell me, what have you been through all these years? Where have you been?! Who did this?! Tell me!”
Chi Baoguang’s eyes flashed with suspicion. He actually said, “You don’t know?” His tone was filled with mockery and killing intent.
Lisa froze.
She subconsciously asked, “Why would I know?”
Chi Baoguang pointed at the scars on his chest and said, “My little Lisa, have you forgotten? My injuries are all thanks to you…”
Looking at the cruel smile on the man’s lips, Lisa was actually a little afraid. Even her back turned cold. She was afraid but nervously asked Chi Baoguang, “What do you mean by that?”
“What do you mean?” Chi Baoguang sneered sarcastically. “Lisa, your memory is really bad.”
“Wh-what?” Lisa was still confused.
Chi Baoguang said a few key words. “Thirty-five years ago. Letter. Australia.” His eyes turned completely cold when he saw that Lisa was still acting. “Have you forgotten?”
Lisa looked into Chi Baoguang’s cold eyes. “What letter?” she said blankly.
“What letter?” Chi Baoguang chuckled and his eyes turned red. He said, “It’s a letter you wrote to me. A letter that asked me to die.”
Lisa was stunned.
“I didn’t write a letter to you!” Lisa retorted loudly. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about! What letter? Tell me clearly!”
“No?” Chi Baoguang’s expression turned cold. The air around him seemed to have frozen, emitting a cold aura.
He looked down at Lisa’s charming face and scolded her, “Don’t you remember? You personally asked my brother to pa.s.s me a letter! You invited me to Australia and said that you were waiting for me there. You said that you had prepared a surprise for me!”
Seeing that Lisa’s face had turned pale, Chi Baoguang asked sarcastically, “Why? You really don’t remember?”
“Lisa, stop quibbling. That was your handwriting. I won’t mistake it.”
Lisa finally understood what the problem was.
She only said one sentence, “My ex-husband is Fang Pingjue.”
All of a sudden, the air in the room froze.
The man who was still sneering suddenly froze. Gradually, he recovered from his shock and asked in disbelief, “Who is it?”
“Fang Pingjue.”
The man staggered back a step, tripped over a small stool on the floor, and fell onto it. Lisa tried to grab him, but it was too late.
His waist hit the small stool. It was clearly very painful, but Chi Baoguang seemed to not feel any pain.
He fell to the ground and looked at Lisa, who appeared worried.
“He…”
His lips moved for a long time before he said in shock, “You married him! You hada child!” His whereabouts were unknown. His good brother had actually married the woman he loved!
Before Lisa could explain, Chi Baoguang laughed sarcastically.
“Sure!”
“Very good!”
He laughed until his tears flowed.
Lisa’s heart ached.
She squatted down beside him and hugged him tightly. “Baoguang, let me explain.”
Chi Baoguang did not listen. He raised his hand and slapped Lisa.
He was very strong and Lisa fainted from the slap.
Seeing that she had fainted from his slap, Chi Baoguang was stunned. The crazy hatred in his eyes was instantly replaced by panic.
He still loved her.
Even though she had once betrayed him, even though she had married his younger brother and had a child with Fang Pingjue, he still loved her.
Chi Baoguang hated himself for being too useless.
Lisa woke up again, thinking that Chi Baoguang had left.
She got out of bed and shook her groggy head. She stepped barefoot on the furry carpet and prepared to go downstairs.
She walked to the dressing mirror on the side wall and looked at it. She saw that the person in the reflection had slightly swollen cheeks that were a little red. What was more striking were the love marks on her body that could not even be covered by her clothes.
Lisa pulled on her dress and walked up the spiral staircase to the first floor.
The person who she thought that he had already left was actually busy in the kitchen. The heater in the house was turned on, and he wore a cotton s.h.i.+rt and navy blue pants. Those were the clothes Fang Yusheng had left here.
Looking at his back, Lisa thought she saw Fang Yusheng.
Chi Baoguang turned around when he heard a sound. When he saw Lisa, he subconsciously did not look at Lisa’s face. Seeing that her face was still swollen, Chi Baoguang quickly looked away.
Chi Baoguang took a spoon and tasted the soup. Then, he said to Lisa, “I haven’t cooked in more than thirty years. The taste is very unsatisfactory. Just make do with it.” Two hours ago, the man who was still gloomy and could crush her with one hand at any time was now cooking for her in an ap.r.o.n.
Lisa walked to the dining table and sat down.
Chi Baoguang said alone in the kitchen, “I saw the photo alb.u.m. That good-looking young man is your son?”
“Yes.”
“He looks very good.” Chi Baoguang put down his spoon and said softly, “I feel like crus.h.i.+ng this good-looking person..”
