1558: That Woman

That Woman

Back then, he had lost control. Despite the incident happening a long time ago, he still remembered it vividly.0

When he woke up in the morning that day, he realized something was amiss. That woman was already gone.

He had only found out about what happened recently.

If this didn't happen, he wouldn't want to give Bai Yaoyao up, no matter how many times she rejected him. However, he had already disappointed her too many times. Even if he wanted to seek her forgiveness, he would also feel empty and unsure of himself.

Back then, he couldn't bring himself to persist and could only come back.

He couldn't bring himself to kill that woman too. That would be too cruel. Even if Yaoyao were to forgive him and return to him, he was also afraid that the truth would be revealed.

During that time, he couldn't find Bai Yaoyao and felt so miserable and guilty. Sometimes, he even secretly avoided the guards in his office and sneaked out to drink.

It was only when he drank that he could see Bai Yaoyao in his dreams.

It was probably during that time when Xiamu Qingyan arranged for that woman to get closer to him.

"Sir? What should we do next?"

Xirong Ziye hunched over and covered his head with his hand. He looked exhausted, as though he was in pain.

Thinking back now, he thought that he shouldn't even have gotten close to Xiamu Qingyan. He shouldn't have allowed himself to be tricked and confused by her pretty face.

Despite already becoming the president, he didn't feel happy at all.

"Sir, if you feel unwell, I'll call the doctor over." Liu Zhong looked at Xirong Ziye worriedly. To him, Xirong Ziye was a great president, but he was inadequate at handling his personal feelings.

He thought that it was because the president had met the wicked Miss Xiamu that had caused him so much trouble.

Xirong Ziye shook his head and stood up. Putting on his jacket, he said, "I'm going to see Xiamu Qingyan."

"Yes, sir!"

Xirong Ziye went to the police station in casual attire, but he still stunned the head officer. He hurriedly greeted Xirong Ziye courteously, "President, I had no idea that you would be coming today. I apologize for not being able to attend to you properly…"

Xirong Ziye waved his hand, interrupting the head officer. "I want to see Xiamu Qingyan to ask her about something."

"President, please wait for a moment. I'll go make some arrangements now."

Shortly after, Xiamu Qingyan was led out. Now, she was covered in a layer of filth, and her hair had almost been ripped out. She looked gravely thin and sickly.

Liu Zhong ordered everyone around them to leave and granted the two of them some privacy.

Xiamu Qingyan was in a daze as he looked at Xirong Ziye. Despite being in disbelief that he would come and visit her, she was still rather excited. She even thought that Xirong Ziye had recalled how nicely she had treated him.

Xirong Ziye looked into Xiamu Qingyan's eyes, his own eyes narrowing dangerously. He cut straight to the point and asked, "Xiamu Qingyan, what's the deal with that woman?"

Xiamu Qingyan had been anticipating that Xirong Ziye still had feelings for her, and that he would bring her away. However, her fantasies were shattered the instant he opened his mouth.

"What did you say? What woman?"

Xiamu Qingyan looked at Xirong Ziye with widened eyes. Her blood was boiling. Did he come here just to ask such a question? Did he really ask about another woman?

Xirong Ziye glared fiercely at Xiamu Qingyan and slapped her face. The impact immediately sent her into shock.

"Are you still denying it? That woman you ordered to sleep with me. Are you still going to deny?"

Xiamu Qingyan yelled, "Xirong Ziye, how dare you do this to me? How dare you hit me?"

Even now, Xiamu Qingyan still narcissistically thought that he cared for her. But that slap woke her up instantly.
