“Really? Anyone? This is what Chu Lui said himself. Don’t regret it later,” Xia Ruoxin said lightly, but Chu Lui did not notice the tear-stained smile and the tear that had hatred with it.
After wiping her tears, all she breathed in was the man’s scent that had a bit of nicotine smell and no perfume. Chu Lui never liked to use perfume and would not use it at all, but as he was addicted to smoking, there would always be this smell on him that could not be replicated.
Chu Lui did not quite understand what she meant because he did not understand Xia Ruoxin at all. He even did not know what she was thinking.
However, no matter what, there was something he was sure of.
She was Xia Ruoxin; she was the most important woman and the one that he could not leave. He did not ask her why she left, why she abandoned him, and why she came back… as long as she appeared, as long as she stayed by her side.
Chu Lui started the car and brought her to his own apartment that was special compared to the villa that the Chu family owned. Actually, he liked the outside pretty much. There were once two female owners of that place, but none of them had good results. He did not want to bring her there again so this place was enough.
Now, he lived in a garden apartment with very few people staying so it was very quiet. There were also checks coming in and out of the place. When he drove into the basement and walked out, the woman on the car already fell asleep. He did not wake her up and only held her in his arms; the woman in his arms was very light, as light as a feather. He really did not know which woman would be this light. How heavy was she? Was she 40 kilograms? Back then, Rainy was already 15 kilograms; and she was just a child.
“Go to sleep.” He placed Xia Ruoxin on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her. Then, he lay down himself carefully and did not dare to make much noise.
He knew that she was a light sleeper so his moves were very gentle, but he did not know when she was awake.
Actually, he could not fall asleep either and had his eyes open until daybreak.
At night, both of them would tangle each other’s bodies with all their might as if they were trying to exhaust themselves just for a good dream. The closer their bodies got, the further their hearts went.
He got close to her and got her body, but he could not get her heart.
“What do you want to do? Must you continue on like this?” This was the umpteenth time that Chu Lui had asked her what she wanted for her to leave the place. Jiang Nan, Jiang Nan… what a nice name, but everyone knew what kind of place it was.
If she wanted money, he could give it; person, he would give himself. What exactly did she want?
He slowly squatted down in front of her and stared at her pair of eyes that were silent and hard to read.
“Ruoxin, what exactly do you want?” He used his big palm to hold his face. What exactly happened that turned her into this state? It changed until he did not even have a chance to understand. He was afraid that he was running out of time, and he would not even get to explain himself before she made herself crazy or she killed herself.
“Don’t worry. My life is cheap. I won’t die so easily.” Xia Ruoxin picked up another glass, and in it was strong alcohol. She drank it down and felt the burning sensation in her gut.

Chu Lui took away the glass in her hands, and Xia Ruoxin did not snatch it back. Without this one, there was always the next. He could take away one glass or two glasses, but could he take away all the alcohol in the world?
Xia Ruoxin stood up but was stopped by Chu Lui’s hand on her wrist. It was such a small wrist that he did not even dare to use much strength; he was afraid that he would accidentally fracture her hands.
“Don’t go.” The man’s voice was filled with too much helpless hurt. “Don’t go and don’t drink.”
Xia Ruoxin shook her head, and there was sarcasm written all over her face. What was she going to do if she did not go? Wait for her death?
She wanted to remove her hands, but Chu Lui held her tightly.
Xia Ruoxin opened her mouth, and there was suddenly a burning feeling in her stomach. Then, she puked without warning. Chu Lui hurriedly stretched out his hands and caught the residue she puked out.
Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes in pain and let her tears roll down the side of her cheeks. She continued to vomit until she puked out all the contents in her guts and the acids in her stomach.
There was a burning pain in her stomach and at the corner of her eye.
After she vomited, Chu Lui went to the washroom to wash his hands and took a hot towel over to wipe her face gently. He did not say anything the whole time and just used a hot towel to wipe her face gently and her hands. Then, he helped her change into a new set of clothes before he tidied himself.
Not long after, there was a ring at the door.
He opened the door, and a young man stood outside. He was Chu Lui’s new private doctor that just came back from his studies in Britain. His name was special and easy to remember; he was Jia Xinguo. Du Jingtang brought him back; his character and his medical skills were pretty good.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Lui asked Jia Xinguo.
Jia Xinguo took the stethoscope, and after listening half a day, he hung it back on his neck before looking up and walking out with Chu Lui.
“She’s not in a good state, and her body is terrible, but it can be fixed. However, it depends on her. Now, her gut isn’t doing very well, and she can’t continue on like this. She can’t drink alcohol all day long as it will cause gastric problems. If her condition worsens, she might have gastric bleeding which is not something that a small surgery can fix.
“Mr. Chu should know that sickness should be recuperated. Luckily, she isn’t in too bad of a state. She just needs to cut down on alcohol and regularly eat light stuff, less spicy food; then she would be fine.”
Jia Xinguo used his expertise and experience to explain it.
“Mr. Chu, I feel that her mental state is much worse than her physical condition. If you want her to recover fully, she can’t just eat medicine. It’s not my expertise, but if you wish, I can help Mr. Chu find this girl a psychologist.
“Also, I’ll put her on a drip for the next few days.”
“Sorry for the trouble.” Chu Lui sighed gently. Recently, he had been tormented quite badly, but this was good. She should rest for a few days.
Just that when Jia Xinguo held Xia Ruoxin’s arm that was as thin as her bone, Chu Lui’s heart hurt. Her blood vessels were obvious, and he could see the veins on her arms clearly.
