Chapter 55

After the climax, Fu Tingyuan pulled himself away from her.

Apart from the smell of sex, there was a whiff of blood in the air.

He looked down at Luo Nanchu under him. She was crying pitifully with tears streaming down her little face.

He had lost control.

His eyebrows furrowed. Luo Nanchu came down from the sink, pushed him away, and walked out of the bathroom.

She staggered as she went out. Fu Tingyuan reached over and grabbed her arm. Luo Nanchu grabbed his arm.

“Let go.” Her voice was shaky.

Fu Tingyuan said softly, “You’re hurt. Let me see.”

Luo Nanchu struggled to break free from his grip. Her body swayed violently, and she almost fell. After regaining her balance, she wobbled her way out.

Fu Tingyuan followed behind her and watched her walk a few steps before she squatted down, hugged her knees, and broke down crying.

This was the first time he had seen her crying like this. It seemed that all the brave fronts she had put up in the past had all but fallen apart. She cried like a hurt child.

“Fu Tingyuan, am I not worth cherishing at all? You don’t love me, so you don’t have to treat me like a human?”

She bit her lip, but her tears wouldn’t stop. She had been hurt too much. She didn’t know why she felt so much pain inside.

She really regretted meeting him.

Absolutely.

She didn’t know why loving someone could turn out so badly. She didn’t know why she had to go through all this suffering.

She was just a very willful girl. She simply fell for someone and merely wanted to be together with the person she liked.

She didn’t know why he wanted to drive her family to ruin after all that she had done for him. She didn’t know why he would hurt her like this even after she had agreed to compromise for him.

Did he really hate her to her core so much that he would hurt her like this, trample on her, and send her to the eighteenth level of hell?

She did do something wrong. She shouldn’t have forced Fu Tingyuan to marry her. She shouldn’t have tried to make a man fall for her when he didn’t love her. But even so, did she deserve everything that she had suffered?

Did he have to take revenge on her like this?

Suddenly, she could no longer bear all of this.

Perhaps Fu Tingyuan was right; perhaps it was because Qin Lie came back.

When she saw Qin Lie, she thought of the past. She thought of a man who had been so good to her.

But because of Fu Tingyuan, she betrayed Qin Lie.

She broke up with Qin Lie to be with Fu Tingyuan, and Qin Lie was so angry that it made him leave Tong City for three years.

Perhaps this was really her retribution.

Betrayal really came with its retribution.

Was it because she went with Fu Tingyuan and let down another man who loved her? Was that why the heavens were punishing her like this?

They put her in a state where she would rather be dead.

Her tears kept falling, and her heart was about to fall apart.

“I was wrong in the past. Let me off. It’s enough. What else do you want from me? Fu Tingyuan, what more do you want from me?” She held her head and shivered.

This sudden violence broke her.

She was really afraid of pain.

When she was receiving injections in the past, Qin Lie always had to console her.

Actually, she had always been very delicate. She was afraid of suffering, pain, and drudgery.

She was just a spoiled child.

No matter how proud or arrogant she was before, she had never suffered a bit.

She couldn’t figure out why. Why did Fu Tingyuan have to punish her like this? She fell for the wrong person, but was there no chance for her to atone for her mistake?

She couldn’t understand.
