Su Yun covered her mouth in horror, looking at her with disbelief. The unease and fear that originally gripped her heart strangely cald down slowly.
"When I was eighteen, he forced to go out and earn money." As she spoke, Li Xia revealed a rare expression, her eyes seeming to see through the billowing smoke the man she fell hopelessly in love with.
He was so exceptional, so dazzling. The fusion of ice and fire’s brilliance—how could anyone bring such extres together? At that mont, she could hear her frantic heartbeat, as if it would leap out of her chest imdiately.
The sound of battlefield artillery couldn’t cover up her heart.
After the stalemate of the war and the retreat, he must have seen her hiding in the shadows, that sharp glance sweeping over like starlight, like a steel needle. She knew she would never be able to erase that man from her heart in this lifeti.
Scarface forced her to serve many n, her hands stained with blood, committing all kinds of evils, calling her a Black Widow or a venomous spider was not wrong at all. Li Xia never denied the gravity of her sins, many wondered how a woman like her could maintain such pure eyes?
The n from the Southern Border who loved her with madness—wasn’t it because on one hand she was bloody and wild, and on the other, pure like an innocent girl?
Li Xia knew that her pure side was because of that man. Whenever she thought of him, it felt as though she returned to her girlhood.
Su Yun, observing Li Xia’s deanor, finally stopped resisting. Right now, Li Xia made her feel very close, as if she saw herself when she was young.
"After going out, I t the man I loved most in my life." Li Xia continued.
"And then?"
"Then he died, I saw him die right in front of ." Li Xia’s eyes turned cold abruptly, then she apologized, saying, "Sorry for scaring you!"
"How did he die?"
"He was killed by my ex-husband."
"You are really pitiful." Su Yun said with sympathy, "You are just like ..." She poured out all her worries, unwillingness, pain.
Including her resentnt towards Sheng Ning.
"Actually, people with no conscience like that should have been punished long ago."
"Indeed! It’s my fault for being useless." Su Yun sighed.
"You’re so kind, God will help you.
Sinong gave Li Xia a look, and Li Xia stood up saying, "I am a relative of this tea house, staying here for a few days; if you’re troubled, feel free to co and chat."
"Okay!" Su Yun looked at the sky outside, knowing it was already late night, but she simply didn’t want to go ho.
"It’s getting late, aren’t you going back?"
"I..."
Sinong stepped forward and said, "We’re closing up, here’s an umbrella."
Su Yun nodded, paid, and left with the umbrella. After she walked out, Li Xia unhappily asked, "Why did you rush to send her away?"
"Captain, the Young Chairman’s younger brother has arrived; I feared he’d find out sothing inside, which wouldn’t be good."
A hint of another color flashed in Li Xia’s eyes, she didn’t notice her subordinate’s fleeting doubt. The story she just told, Sinong knew it was the Captain’s own experience. The man in the story should be the Young Chairman, right?
This discovery left her unsettled for a long ti. No wonder everyone suggested killing the Young Chairman’s brother to prevent future troubles, but the Captain refused.
Their resemblance is so striking, how could the Captain possibly bear to do it?
