Chapter 540: Chapter 0540: Ye Xunhuan, You Stop Right There
Qiu Ruoxi’s sudden outburst left Ye Xunhuan stunned! 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
He had never anticipated Qiu Ruoxi to suddenly interrupt him, especially not while covering her ears and desperately shaking her head in a frenzied and incredibly agitated manner.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi in such a state, the bitterness on Ye Xunhuan’s lips deepened; he only knew that it must have been his words that had provoked her.
Otherwise, this woman, who was always so calm, would certainly not act like this.
Perhaps this woman was avoiding something, fleeing from these thoughts and unwilling to accept them.
"Ruoxi, whether you listen or not, this is me, evading won’t solve anything. I could have avoided this once, twice, but what about later..."
"Shut your mouth!" Qiu Ruoxi roared like an enraged lion, her face cold and somber, her thin red lips barely parting: "I didn’t ask, I didn’t tell you to speak, so you don’t have the right to speak!"
"All I know is that you are Ye Xunhuan, the son of Qin Fenghuang, the nephew of Qin Rumeng, the young master of the Storm Corporation, the son-in-law my parents approved of, my current husband, Qiu Ruoxi..."
Qiu Ruoxi growled lowly, each sentence, each word as if screamed out with all the strength of her being, conveying a sense of vocal strain and shouted desperation!
Listening to Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was once again taken aback; Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t been scared by what he had said, but had chosen to escape, not only escaping herself but also helping him to escape!
Ye Xunhuan, with a bitter smile, looked at Qiu Ruoxi: "Ruoxi, since I’ve chosen to be honest with you, there’s no need for you to help me avoid the truth. Frankly, the fact that you weren’t startled out of your wits by my past actions, with no cries of horror, no panic upon seeing me, I am truly grateful for that."
"But what needs to be faced must still be faced, I..."
"Ye Xunhuan, can you not understand human language, I told you to shut up!" Qiu Ruoxi growled lowly: "I told you to shut your mouth, I didn’t tell you to talk!"
Looking at Qiu Ruoxi’s agitated state, Ye Xunhuan’s face filled with bitterness: "Ruoxi, do you think by not listening you can change the facts?"
"It won’t change anything, I am a butcher, a butcher with hands stained with blood, a person to whom killing is as commonplace as a household meal!" Ye Xunhuan brutally shattered Qiu Ruoxi’s escape, using the most raw and direct language to tell her what kind of man he truly was: "I know you are avoiding it, you don’t want to face it, you can’t accept this version of me."
"But think about it, it’s understandable, no normal woman can accept her husband is actually a killing demon, can they?"
Ye Xunhuan was as cruel as he could be at that moment, his bloody words and harsh reality piercing deeply into Qiu Ruoxi’s already not too strong heart!
"Although you can’t accept me, I still want to thank you. I know you were opposed to our marriage and reluctant, but you still tried to accept me. Even though you never said it, I could feel it."
With that, Ye Xunhuan sighed deeply: "But we are never from the same world. No matter how hard you tried to accept me, it was in vain!"
He and she were ultimately not from the same world, not on the same level, even though they were now married, it was exceedingly difficult to come together.
Qiu Ruoxi wanted a husband like a personage from the Storm, but what about Ye Xunhuan?
Although he could command the Storm, the realm he dominated was tainted with blood, was filled with darkness, whereas Qiu Ruoxi sought the light.
He couldn’t provide that!
Go back!
This place doesn’t belong to him; it is the dark, shadowy corners that do, after all. His hands were covered in blood, filthy beyond measure, just like the refuse in the sewers; he should hide like a mole, away underground, in the darkness. How could he possibly be worthy of Qiu Ruoxi?
She was so outstanding, so beautiful, like a pool of clear water, and he shouldn’t taint her!
"Alright, Ruoxi, I won’t disturb you any longer. Get some rest early!" Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, "Tomorrow, I will use some means to end our marriage."
"As for Mom and Dad, I’ll talk to them, so you won’t be put in a difficult position." A strained smile slowly crept onto Ye Xunhuan’s pained face, "Congratulations, you’re free now!"
After he spoke those words, Ye Xunhuan felt as if a heavy burden had lifted, as if his whole body had suddenly become lighter, as if all the oppression that had lingered for so long had vanished, and the weight he carried on his shoulders had disappeared at that moment as well.
But why does it hurt so much?
Pain like being cut by a knife!
The pain was so intense that he felt life was not worth living, as if the most important thing in his life had suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan, enduring the knife-like pain in his heart, turned around, ready to leave this place.
He didn’t belong here; if his heart didn’t wish to leave, what else could he do?
Could Qiu Ruoxi ever accept a man like him?
Go on, go back, marrying Qiu Ruoxi was a mistake from the start.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s retreating back, Qiu Ruoxi’s pale face was filled with confusion. She hated, hated why this man had to cruelly tell her all this.
If I don’t ask, and you don’t tell, wouldn’t that be alright?
At the same time, she was afraid; this man was someone whose hands were stained with blood, a butcher, a demon. Which woman would want her husband to be such a man?
Who wouldn’t want their man to be normal and exceptional?
But why were these things so out of reach for her?
What kind of man had her parents found for her?
As bewilderment and various negative emotions surged in her, Qiu Ruoxi watched Ye Xunhuan’s fading figure, feeling an unwillingness in her heart. Like watching a movie, the moments they’d shared since their marriage began to slowly emerge in her mind.
This man, although carefree and a womanizer, often went to nightclubs, seeking other women, even flirting with other women right in front of her.
It made her feel disgusted and uncomfortable, yet at this moment, watching the desolate and lonely figure of Ye Xunhuan walking away, something soft and vulnerable deep inside her seemed to have been gently touched, and it hurt so much, it was so hard to let go!
When Ye Xunhuan reached the doorway, about to step out of the villa, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly shouted, "Ye Xunhuan, stop right there!"
Startled by Qiu Ruoxi’s abrupt voice, Ye Xunhuan’s entire body seemed to be struck by electricity, trembling slightly, and his footsteps came to an immediate halt at that moment.
What does she want with me?
Is she trying to keep me here?
How could it possibly be?
After all, I...
