Chapter 73: Show Off Affection, Die Fast (1)
Ling Chuxia’s eyes suddenly widened, her black pupils swiftly compressed, her gaze laced with disbelief and fright.
She could never have anticipated that a comment like hers would provoke him to utter such brutal words.
Over these past three years, every time Shi Che lashed out at her, he always did so with heated mockery and cold sarcasm. She had been on the receiving end of all kinds of harsh words.
But even when Shi Che was furious, he had never spoken like this. Now, he wasn’t angry like before, not aggressive, not as if he wished to tear her apart. Instead, he merely smiled coldly at her, and even the voice that came out bore no hint of anger. However, she could feel the revulsion Shi Che harbored towards her, and... hatred.
Yes, hatred.
No matter what, Ling Chuxia couldn’t understand why, despite her hard work, he still detested her so much.
She had been compliant in every way, making all kinds of concessions. She bore all the grievances silently, yet he continued to find fault with her.
She knew he didn’t like her because she took her elder sister’s place, but... She didn’t want this either. She already felt so guilty, so remorseful, yearning to make everything right, to properly guard this position until her elder sister returned and she could relinquish it to her so that they, the loving couple, could be finally united.
