《Promise You a Life Full of Love》


 C1. Xu Zijin, Why Do You Remain Alive?

    Mu Anan drowned herself in the river. Fu Sinian went mad and pulled Xu Zijin out of the house, and then drove to Zhujiang River Bridge at full pelt.


    Clouds had come down and it was starting to pour with rain.


    Xu Zijin folded her arms over her chest and her voice trembled with cold, "Sinian¡­ Why did you bring me here?"


    Fu Sinian pushed her up against the guardrail of the bridge with a cold expression on his handsome face and pinched her chin hard with his slender fingers, his eyes burning with anger and hatred as if he was going to kill her at any time.


    "Xu Zijin, are you happy now? What the hell did you say to Anan on the phone? Because of you, Anan jumped off this bridge and now she''s dead¡­"


    A sudden flash of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a clap of thunder.


    Suffocated by his words, Xu Zijin looked blankly at him with disbelief.


    Mu Anan drowned herself in the river?


    She shook her head and murmured, "No¡­ It can''t be true¡­"


    Fu Sinian glared at Xu Zijin murderously, his eyes reddening in anger. Suddenly, he sneered, "Xu Zijin, even if Anan has died, I will never like you."


    "You must have misunderstood me¡­ I didn''t¡­" Xu Zijin stammered. She wanted to explain but couldn''t think of exactly the right thing to say.


    However, Xu Zijin seemed to Fu Sinian a shameless woman who stubbornly refused to admit her guilt. He mustered all the strength he had to pinch her jaw as if he wanted to crumble it.


    Fu Sinian said satirically, "Three years ago you forced Anan to leave me; you forced me to marry you; you even incited some hoodlums to rape Anan. How dared you say that I have misunderstood you! Xu Zijin, Anan is dead. Why do you remain alive?"Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    The naked hatred in his words was like a knife piercing through her heart. A sharp pang of pain burst out from her chest and she felt weak in her limbs and could hardly stand.


    Suddenly, the man reached out and tore at her clothes. The sound of cloth torn echoed in her ears and she finally came back to her senses.


    "No¡­" Xu Zijin grabbed his big hand and looked at him with imploring eyes, her face pale in fear. "Don''t do that to me¡­"


    Fu Sinian turned a deaf ear to her words. He tore her panties in two and then leaned against her. She felt his erect penis against her sacred grove.


    Xu Zijin turned pale with fear and burst into tears. Overwhelmed with horror and anxiety, she began to struggle. She raised her head and saw the passing cars and pedestrians in the distance, which brought her a sense of panic.


    If they were spotted making love in the open by passersby, it would ruin her reputation.


    How could Fu Sinian do such a thing to humiliate her?


    "Sinian¡­ Please don''t do that to me¡­ I beg you¡­ I''m scared¡­"


    Fu Sinian twisted his lips into a cold smile and said, "At that time, Anan was also scared. She kept begging you but you didn''t let her go. Now, what right have you to ask me to let you go?"


    "I haven''t done that to her!" Xu Zijin roared, tears welling up in her eyes and streaming down her face. "Fu Sinian, we are going to be parents. Why can''t you trust me?"


    The man''s pupils dilated. He stared at her in disbelief and asked, "Are you pregnant?"


    "Yes. I''m pregnant and it''s your child¡­" Xu Zijin gently took his hand, put it on her belly and cried, "You can touch it¡­"


    They had been married for three years. However, he had always given her the cold shoulder. Xu Zijin had once thought that he wouldn''t make love with her and they wouldn''t have a child.


    But two months ago, they had had sex unexpectedly, which had broken the deadlock between them. Later, she discovered she was pregnant and this unborn child gave her hope.


    She stayed at home and waited for him to come back, wondering if he would be as happy as she was when he knew that he was going to be a father. But Xu Zijin didn''t expect Mu Anan to commit suicide.


    "I admit that I don''t like Mu Anan. But now I''m pregnant and I have no intention of hurting her. Sinian, believe me, okay?"


    She looked up at him with beseeching eyes. The man, however, forced her shut legs apart with his hands and plunged deep into her with an indifferent look on his face, which brought her into the depths of hopelessness.

 C2. I Have Never Slept with You. How Can You Be Pregnant?

    Xu Zijin gave a cry of pain.


    She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and couldn''t help trembling violently.


    Meanwhile, a spasm of great pain shot through her heart as if someone threw her heart on the ground and crushed it into pieces with the feet.


    The man''s cruel voice rang in her ears, accompanied by the rumble of thunder, "Xu Zijin, how dare you delude me that you are pregnant? You also deceived Anan and drove her to kill herself, right?"


    Xu Zijin goggled at him as the gleam of hope in her eyes gradually dimmed. "Believe me¡­ I didn''t lie to you¡­ I¡­ I''m really pregnant¡­"


    Fu Sinian suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled her closer to him. "Really? I have never slept with you. How can you be pregnant? Xu Zijin, you are indeed a liar."


    Xu Zijin was suffocated by his words. She forced a smile and said, "You¡­ Sinian, you must be joking. Ha ha... But it''s not funny. You scare me¡­"


    She had known and loved this man for 20 years. Even if he was disfigured, she could recognize him at first glance.


    Although it was dark in the room that night, she knew that it must be him because she was thoroughly familiar with him.


    "Xu Zijin, you are so stupid. What makes you think that you are qualified to have my child? You must be dreaming!"


    His voice was soft but every word he said was like a hammer hitting at her heart. She looked blankly at the man in front of her. At this moment, he was no longer the handsome, kind man in her memory, as his face twisted into a horrible expression, his eyes burning with bitter hatred.


    A chill shiver rippled over her skin. Xu Zijin felt herself in a winter puddle and every fibre of her being froze.


    ''I''m not qualified to have your baby? So, who is worthy to bear your child? Is it Mu Anan?'' she thought with sorrow.


    Xu Zijin clenched her fists tightly and a strong sense of hatred and grief filled her chest. She had never hated and would never hate a person as much as she hated Fu Sinian.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    The rain fell down on her face and all color gradually drained from her face. Pale as a ghost, she felt as though someone had taken a knife to her heart and twisted the blade. The man she loved sent her into the depths of despair.


    Xu Zijin gave a weak smile, "Fu Sinian, you know I love you, so you dare humiliate me without fear."


    "Sh!" Fu Sinian stretched out his forefinger and pressed it on her lips. "Don''t say that you love me. You make me sick."


    ''If you really love me, you wouldn''t have lied to me. If you really love me, why did you hurt my lover madly? Your love is full of lies and jealousy. I don''t need it," he thought.


    Xu Zijin''s blood froze with her eyes wide open in disbelief. Fu Sinian had no interest in carrying on talking with her, so he turned her around and pinned her against the guardrail of the bridge, then he clutched her slender waist hard and entered her body from behind.


    All the members of the Xu family were villainous in their bones and there was no need to feel pity for her.


    Heavy rain lashed against the ground and the river rolled and roared. Xu Zijin covered her belly with her hands and kept pleading for mercy but Fu Sinian didn''t show any tenderness.


    Warm blood streamed from her private parts and dripped onto the ground.


    "Please¡­ Please help me¡­ Take me to the hospital, please¡­"


    She felt a wave of panic because she had a pain in her lower stomach.


    This unborn child was her only hope of winning his heart. She couldn''t afford to lose it¡­


    Fu Sinian frowned and subconsciously cast a glance in her private parts. He saw blood trickling from her vagina, mixed with the rain, and dropped upon the ground. His heart stopped beating for a second.


    She¡­ She was really pregnant!


    Xu Zijin was taken to the hospital late at night. Her skin was covered with bruises and scratches, which shocked all the doctors and nurses.


    "Mr. Fu¡­" A doctor looked cautiously at Fu Sinian who wore a frosty look, his intense eyes glowing with eerie anger and hatred, and looked like a devil from the hell.


    "Why are you still standing there like a statue? Save her!" Fu Sinian threw a cold look at the doctor.


    "Doctor, the patient has been pregnant for two months¡­" A nurse shouted anxiously. The doctor instantly walked into the emergency room.


    "Her vagina was torn up because of excessive sexual intercourse. She''s in danger of miscarriage. Send her to the operating room!" The doctor quickly checked on her and gave orders to the nurses. Xu Zijin was wheeled out of the emergency room and sent to the operating room.


    When the doctor saw Fu Sinian standing by, he paused and comforted, "Mr. Fu, you can rest assured that we will do our best to save this unborn child."


    The unborn child¡­


    "You don''t need to save it," said Fu Sinian suddenly.


    The doctor was stunned by his words.


    Fu Sinian continued in a cold, hard voice, "It shouldn''t be born. So just don''t waste time saving it."

 C3. Abort the Child!

    ¡°No!¡±


    Xu Zijin felt great pain in her lower abdomen and almost fainted. However, when she heard what Fu Sinian said, she suddenly came back to her senses. She grabbed the lower hem of his shirt, tears welling up in her eyes as she begged, ¡°Sinian¡­ Don¡¯t do that to me¡­ Don¡¯t hurt my unborn child¡­¡±


    Fu Sinain squinted at her with an insidious malicious expression in his eyes.


    ¡®She said that she loved me. But as my wife, she slept with another man and is pregnant. Now she even desperately protects this unborn child,¡¯ he thought to himself.


    The more he thought, the angrier he became. Gradually, His heart hardened against her.


    He reached out, grasped her wrist and slowly detached her hand from his shirt with all his strength as if to crush the bones of her wrist.


    Xu Zijin refused to let him go because she was afraid of losing her child. ¡°Sinian, I beg you¡­¡±


    However, Fu Sinian didn¡¯t change his mind. He tore off the low hem of his shirt and backed up a few steps. She tried to grasp his arm but failed.


    ¡°Abort the unborn child!¡± he said in a cold voice.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Xu Zijin screamed, her beautiful face distorted with pain and despair. ¡°Fu Sinian, I hate you! I hate you to the core!¡±


    Xu Zijin''s heart was filled with anger and hatred toward Fu Sinian. She jumped from the hospital trolley with surprising strength, put her hand over her belly and ran forward in a panic.


    ¡®I have to run away. I won''t let you kill my child. I must escape from the hospital and find a safe place to hide,¡¯ she thought to herself.


    Xu Zijin ran barefoot along the corridor, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.


    However, Xu Zijin was quickly caught by the nurses and sent back to the operating room.


    The door of the operating room banged shut.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    A succession of heartrending screams came from the operating room.


    Fu Sinian looked at the blood all over the floor. A dull pain suddenly surged through his chest as he recalled the naked hatred in Xu Zijin''s eyes.


    He had a kind of vacant look on his face, his temples pulsing violently as if there was a monster in his veins struggling to break away from his body.


    He staggered forward and felt as if the whole corridor was spinning round him. Suddenly everything went black and he fell flat on his back.


    ¡­¡­


    When Fu Sinian woke up, he found himself lying on a big bed. He knitted his brows, raised his hand and pressed his throbbing temples with his fingers.


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± Su Xiyu in a white gown walked in.


    ¡°What''s the matter with me? What about Xu Zijin?¡± Fu Sinian sat up and pulled out the needle of the perfusion tube from the back of his hand without hesitation.


    Su Xiyu immediately placed a pad of cotton-wool on the spot where the needle had pricked Fu Sinian''s hand.


    ¡°She¡¯s all right,¡± Su Xiyu said. ¡°But I think you are not in a good condition. Sudden syncope is not a good sign for you. If you don¡¯t want to stay in hospital to recuperate, you should change your lifestyle. In order to be healthy, you''d better live a peaceful life.¡±


    ¡°Did she have an abortion?¡±


    A peaceful life? He had been dragged into the depths of despair and hatred since he was 8 years old. How could he live a peaceful life?


    Su Xiyu didn¡¯t answer his question.


    Fu Sinian furrowed his brow with a horrible expression on his face. ¡°Why did you save that unborn child?¡±


    Su Xiyu frowned and looked at Fu Sinian with curious eyes. ¡°Sinian, do you really have no recollection of what happened that night?¡±


    Fu Sinian asked with a puzzled look on his face, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡± Su Xiyu subconsciously withheld the truth. With a grave look on his face, he continued, ¡°Xu Zijin is fine. The effect of the anaesthetic is wearing off and she will wake up soon. I suspect that this time you fainted because of¡­ You should get a thorough exam at least.¡±


    ¡°I don''t need a check-up.¡± Fu Sinian got out of the bed, changed his clothes and left.


    When Fu Sinian walked into Xu Zijin''s ward, she had been awake for a while. She huddled up in her bed and hugged a bloody garment tight to her chest, her eyes glassy, like a soulless puppet.


    As Fu Sinian neared the bed, he saw the divorce agreement on the bedside table at a glance. What was more, she had signed her name on the dotted line in the bottom right-hand corner of the agreement ¨C Xu Zijin, which needled him.


    The signature was dull-red. He looked carefully at it and found that it was written in blood.


    Fu Sinian''s face darkened as he picked up the agreement with his slender fingers, fixed her with a piercing stare and said in a cold voice, ¡°Xu Zijin, what game are you playing?¡±


    At this moment, he couldn''t restrain his anger anymore.

 C4. I Can鈥檛 Melt a Heart Made of Stone

    ''What did he mean by that?''


    Xu Zijin raised her eyelids and looked at Fu Sinian with a dull look on her pale face.


    ''Am I a sly, treacherous woman in his mind?''


    She felt the anger mounting up within her as if to burn her insides into ashes. The poor woman bit her lower lip so hard that her snow-white teeth pierced and sank into the skin and she tasted blood.


    "I know that you''ve always wanted to divorce me. Fu Sinian, I have decided to break up with you. You must be very happy now."


    She smiled but her eyes were full of hatred towards him.


    ''That''s enough! I will not continue to love this man.


    I''m the apple of my father''s eye. If I hadn''t lost my heart to him at first sight in the sheltered accommodation when I was five years old, I wouldn''t have been a mere supplicant in front of him.


    I love him, so I put him above my dignity of human personality.


    I love him, so I humbly begged Mu Anan not to wreck my marriage.


    I love him, so I broke with my father and insisted on marrying him.


    I once thought that he would be moved and fall in love with me as long as I didn''t give up, but facts proved that it was pure wishful thinking. Anyway, I can''t melt a heart made of stone,'' she thought to herself.


    Xu Zijin closed her eyes. Everyone in the world had to go through all kinds of hardships. For her, Fu Sinian was the root of her tribulation. The lessons learned at the cost of blood helped to sober her and she lost the courage to love him.


    ''From now on, I will keep away from you,'' she thought with determination.


    "Xu Zijin, do you think that I will let you go so easily?" Fu Sinian continued with a sneer, "You are so na?ve."


    Xu Zijin couldn''t help but raise her head and stared at the man in front of her. There was a malicious expression in his eyes.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    Then, he tore the divorce agreement up and threw it into the air. The scraps of paper floated in the air and then slowly fell to the floor.


    Xu Zijin''s heart ached and she felt exhausted. "Fu Sinian, what do you mean?"


    Fu Sinian leaned over and approached her. They were so close that Xu Zijin could see clearly the strong hatred in his eyes. She went rigid with shock and subconsciously shrank back.


    She was overwhelmed with fear.


    "Xu Zijin, I won''t divorce you. You are a murderer who killed Anan. Don''t expect me to let you go," he said. "From now on, you will be bound up in fetters of the title of Mrs. Fu forever."


    ''Even though you can be above the law, you can''t escape from my control. I''ll punish you myself. I will let you suffer a fate totally worse than death,'' he thought.


    Suddenly, Fu Sinian''s eyes softened a little. He stretched out his fingers to pick up the wisp of hair over her cheek and tucked it behind her ear while saying with a gentle smile, "Zijin, this is only the beginning."


    Xu Zijin couldn''t help trembling and recalling what had happened to her last night. Her heart sank and she felt herself in the grip of despair.


    The weather was fine after the rainstorm. Sunlight was streaming into the ward and the woman on the bed was bathed in warm sunshine.


    However, Xu Zijin, who lay huddled up in the bed, couldn''t feel the warmth of the sun because Fu Sinian''s cruel voice rang in her ears again and again and dragged her into a horrible nightmare, though he had left some time ago.


    ''He wants to lock me in an invisible cage which is called ''marriage'' and torture me for a lifetime. He''s really a cruel man,'' she thought.


    A week later, Xu Zijin left the hospital alone and went home. As expected, Fu Sinian wasn''t at home.


    The next day, she was called to go to the hospital because her father was seriously ill.


    She rushed to the hospital and saw Liu Xin anxiously walking up and down outside the operating room.


    "Aunt¡­"


    Just as she began to speak, the woman slapped her hard across the face.


    Darkness came over Xu Zijin''s eyes for a few seconds and she felt a burning pain on her face.


    "Why did you come here? Do you want to provoke your father and cause him to die of anger?" Liu Xin questioned angrily.


    Although Liu Xin was Xu Zijin''s stepmother, she always regarded Xu Zijin as her own daughter and dearly loved Xu Zijin. But now she glared at Xu Zijin with a look of resentment as if she was going to kill this unfilial girl at any time.


    Xu Zijin''s knees buckled and she knelt down. "Aunt Liu, I know I did wrong in the past. You can scold me and hit me. But first tell me how my father is. Please allow me to see him."


    "Perish the thought! I won''t allow you to see your father. Do you know who bankrupted the Xu family and caused your father to be critically ill?" Liu Xin asked with rage.


    Xu Zijin stopped crying, an uneasy sense of foreboding surging through her. She raised her head and looked at Liu Xin uneasily¡­

    "No¡­ He can''t have done that¡­" Xu Zijin muttered to herself as if to persuade herself that Fu Sinian was not such a cool-blooded man.


    "Stop being an ostrich! Fu Sinian is the brains behind all these things. You love him with heart and soul but he has driven your father to a deathtrap," Liu Xin said in a cold voice. "There was a deep-seated hatred caused by blood-debt between the Xu family and the Fu family. The reason Fu Sinian came back is because he wants to take revenge on the Xu family. I told you that you should keep away from him, but you turned a deaf ear to my advice and insisted on marrying that cruel man. Now the Xu family went bankrupt and your father is in danger of death. Our family has been ruined!"


    Xu Zijin''s illusion crumbled. She weakly sat on the floor with a dull look in her eyes as her thoughts were all in a muddle. Liu Xin''s voice reverberated in her ears again and again and every word was like a poisonous needle piercing her heart.


    Liu Xin continued, "Xu Zijin, do you know why Fu Sinian can take over the Xu Consortium in such a short time? Your father gave it to him! You caused the death of Mu Anan. In order to protect you, your father used the Xu Consortium as a bargaining chip to gain concessions from Fu Sinian. Otherwise, you would have been arrested.


    You told Fu Sinian everything you knew about the Xu Consortium. You gave away company secrets and the Xu Consortium incurred huge debts. Even if the operation is successful and your father is safe, he will be arrested and spend the rest of his life in prison."


    Liu Xin pushed Xu Zijin aside and roared, "Get out of here! Since you have walked out on your father because of that man, you are not the member of the Xu family anymore. No matter whether Yuanshan is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with you."


    Xu Zijin broke down and cried. She implored Liu Xin with tears to allow her to see her father but Liu Xin refused her firmly and asked the security guards to drive her out of the hospital.


    After leaving the hospital, Xu Zijin drove to Rose Mansion at full pelt.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    Mu Anan used to live in Rose Mansion with Fu Sinian. After Mu Anan''s death, Fu Sinian always lived in Rose Mansion.


    Xu Zijin knew that Fu Sinian hated her because he mistakenly thought that she was the person who caused Mu Anan''s death. However, in fact, she had nothing to do with Mu Anan''s death.


    ''As long as I explain clearly to Sinian, everything will be fine. We have already known each other for twenty years and been married for three years. I believe that he won''t be so cruel to me,'' Xu Zijin consoled herself on the way to Rose Mansion.


    However, when she arrived at Rose Mansion, she was denied entrance to it.


    Xu Zijin refused to leave and waited at the gate. As darkness fell, it started to rain again.


    The rain went pitter-patter and the land was enveloped in a curtain of misty rain.


    Suddenly, there was a powerful beam of light coming through the haze. Xu Zijin raised her head and saw Fu Sinian''s car approaching.


    She was dazed for a second and then madly ran over to block the car.


    She anxiously banged on car door and shouted, "Sinian, open the door! Open the door!"


    The driver said cautiously, "Master, it''s Madam outside¡­"


    Fu Sinian twisted his head sideways and looked at Xu Zijin who wore an anxious expression on her pale face outside the car window. His eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Let''s go."


    The wheel of the car glanced off her tiptoe and drove into Rose Mansion. The tall iron gate banged shut in front of Xu Zijin.


    She stood in the wind and rain, shivering with cold. What Fu Sinian had done sent a chill to her heart.


    The next morning, the iron gate finally opened and the car slowly drove out of the gate.


    Suddenly, a figure rushed over, trying to block the car.


    A sharp noise of the tyres rubbing the ground rent the air.


    Xu Zijin was completely frightened with her eyes closed tight. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and saw the car bonnet against her knees. Her legs gave out and she collapsed on the muddy ground.


    Fu Sinian opened the door, got out of the car and looked down at the woman who was in an awkward situation. "Xu Zijin, if you want to kill yourself, you''d better go somewhere else to end your life. Don''t dirty my car."


    Xu Zijin hadn''t had a good rest for a long time. After standing in the rain all night, she was totally exhausted. She struggled to get up from the puddle, stumbled to Fu Sinian, and then gripped his sleeve with her cold fingers.

 C6. Kneeling at Mu Anans Graveside

    "Sinian¡­" A dizziness overcame Xu Zijin who felt limp and faint. She gritted her teeth to stay conscious and said, "The Xu Consortium has gone bankrupt and my father is ill in the hospital. I''m told that you are behind all this but I don''t believe that. You are my husband. You wouldn''t have harmed my father."


    Xu Zijin''s voice was soft and firm as if to convince herself that Fu Sinian was not the chief plotter.


    "We are a family," she murmured.


    Fu Sinian finally raised his head and looked at her with a familiar smile. However, she couldn''t see any traces of warmth and affection in his eyes; instead, she felt a chill creeping over her.


    He detached her hand from his sleeve and gave her a mocking smile. "Xu Zijin, how can you be so naive?"


    As the words fell from his lips, she felt her brain in buzz as if all memories about him broke into splinters.


    She looked up at the man who wore a look of sarcasm as if to laugh at her naivety and stupidity, her blood running cold with disappointment.


    Xi Zijin finally realized that she had been deluding herself for a long time. She had loved this man for twenty years, so she subconsciously refused to face the reality.


    But now she had to admit that her beloved husband was the one who bankrupted the Xu Consortium and caused her father to be critically ill.


    "No¡­" Xu Zijin shook her head and stared at Fu Sinian with imploring eyes, "This is not true. Sinian, don''t scare me. I know you hate me because I forced you to marry me. You thought that I caused the death of Mu Anan. My love for you is like a cage suffocating you, and you want to get rid of me. It''s all my fault. I know I was wrong. From now on, I will stop loving you and keep away from you. Please let my father off. I beg you!"


    While saying that, she recollected what he said to her in the hospital--"Zijin, this is only the beginning."


    He had fooled her and robbed her father of the Xu Consortium. Their marriage was just a conspiracy.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Fu Sinian curved his lips into a sarcastic smile.


    ''Let Xu Yuanshan off? More than twenty years ago, thirty-two people of the Fu clan died distressingly because of him. A few days ago, his daughter caused Anan''s death. How can I forgive him?''


    Fu Sinian looked at Xu Zijin, his eyes burning with strong hatred.


    Suddenly, he reached out to grab her hair and pulled her closer to the car window.


    She looked into the window and saw a black and white framed photograph on the back seat.


    It was Mu Anan.


    In the photograph, Mu Anan wore a dazzling smile as if jeering at her, "Xu Zijin, you are a loser."


    "Xu Zijin, how can you expect me to let off the Xu family?"


    Xu Zijin''s heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked away from the photograph. But Fu Sinian pinned her against the door and forced her to fixate on the photograph.


    Xu Zijin''s nose twitched and she began to weep.


    "Fu Sinian, I''m willing to hold myself solely responsible for what I have done. Everything''s my fault. You can kill me to avenge Mu Anan. Just let my father off. He is old... Please! I beg you," she pleaded with tears.


    "You are not a patch on Anan. Even if I kill you, Anan won''t come back to life," Fu Sinian pushed her away and took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers as if she had dirtied his hand. "But I can give you a chance."


    Although Xu Zijin felt greatly disturbed, she immediately agreed because it was the only hope of saving her father. "I will do whatever you want me to do as long as you let my father off."


    Fu Sinian threw the handkerchief on her face and said, "Today Anan will be interred at the cemetery. I want you to put on mourning apparel and mourn for her."


    In Xishan cemetery.


    Mu Anan was buried in a solemn and grand way. All the influential people in Jiang City came to mourn for her death.


    Xu Zijin in a white mourning dress knelt at the graveside, repeatedly kowtowed to the mourners to thank them for their presence.


    Everyone looked at her with meaningful eyes.


    Xu Zijin covered her ears and refused to listen to them, but she knew clearly that what those people would say.


    They would praise Fu Sinian for his deep affection for Mu Anan.


    After Mu Anan jumped into the river, he personally entered the water to find her.


    In order to avenge Mu Anan''s death, he bankrupted the Xu Consortium and caused his father-in-law to be critically ill.


    Furthermore, he held a grand wedding and announced that he was Mu Anan''s husband. And now he forced his legal wife, Xu Zijin, to put on mourning apparel and mourn for Mu Anan.


    He showed infinite deep love for Mu Anan. As for Xu Zijin, she had loved him for twenty years but he made her the laughingstock of Jiang City.

    The sun was high in the sky, blazing down on Xu Zijin.


    Her legs had gone numb from kneeling on the ground for a long time and her forehead was oozing sweat. She felt her face burning with heat, her whole body trembling violently as if she was going to faint at any time.


    She was now like an arrow at the end of its flight. However, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay awake.


    The reason Fu Sinian asked her to kneel at the graveside was that he wanted to humiliate her in front of all those people. She had to bear it. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be soft on the Xu family.


    As time went by, the mourners had left and Xu Zijin was the only one in front of the tombstone.


    Suddenly, there came a sharp, hard voice.


    "Aha! Ms. Xu, you are the famous daughter of the Xu family. Why are you kneeling here? Tut-tut, you look really beautiful in the mourning dress. You deserve this."


    Xu Zijin raised her head with difficulty and vaguely saw a few young women standing before her.


    Their faces seemed familiar. Xu Zijin thought for a while and then remembered that they were all Mu Anan''s good friends.


    She instantly realized what they were going to do.


    "Get out of my sight!" Xu Zijin snapped at them. Even though she was down and out, she wouldn''t allow them to humiliate her.


    "Do you still think that you are the first young lady of note in Jiang City? The Xu Consortium went bankrupt and your father, Xu Yuanshan, is going to die. You will soon be penniless and homeless."


    "Weiwei, what you said is not absolutely right. She still has the support of the Fu family. I have to say that Ms. Xu has a good eye for people because she has chosen a capable man as her husband. Fu Sinian is now the most powerful businessman in Jiang City. But I''m afraid that she will be abandoned by her husband soon."This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    ¡­¡­


    They talked with one another and their remarks were loaded with irony towards Xu Zijin.


    After a while, Fu Sinian sent someone to take her to him.


    It took Xu Zijin some time to struggle to her feet. After kneeling on the ground for so long, her legs felt numb. It even felt as if she had numerous needles stuck to her knees and every time she moved she would whimper in pain.


    Xu Zijin bit her lips hard and staggered along the path. She dared not to go against Fu Sinian''s command because he could decide whether her father was dead or alive.


    But those women quickly blocked her path.


    "Do you want to escape? No way!"


    Xu Zijin looked at them with an indifferent expression on her face and said, "What do you want?"


    "Xu Zijin, you are indeed shameless. You killed Anan! How dare you attend her funeral! You just can''t let her rest in peace, right? I won''t let you succeed! You stole Fu Sinian from Anan. You are such a bitch! Come on, my friends, let''s undress this bitch!"


    Xu Zijin''s face drastically changed. "Go away! Don''t touch me!" she shouted angrily.


    However, she was too weak to ward off them. They fiercely shoved her to the ground and began to tear up her clothes.


    Xu Zijin was overwhelmed with hatred. Strong emotions of humiliation began to spread in the bottom of her heart.


    ''What did I do wrong for me to deserve such a humiliation? Is this my retribution for falling love with Fu Sinian? In their eyes, my love is a sin. What a ridiculous thing!'' she thought.


    At this moment, all she could feel was hatred, anger and grievance. She picked up stones on the ground and madly threw them at the women around her. "Get away from me! Don''t touch me!"


    "Ah! My face hurts!" the women screamed.


    Xu Zijin''s hair was loose and several buttons had been ripped from her dress. A wound had appeared where her head had made contact with the flagstone pavement in the melee just now. Blood gushed out of her forehead, dripped down and stained the white mourning dress red. Her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. But the anger that bled out of her eyes seemed like it could burn down anything on its path to ashes.


    She clutched the stones in her fist so hard that her knuckles whitened as she roared, "Come on! Don''t you want to humiliate me? Since you all think that I have committed a crime and deserve death, I will kill you all before my death. In this case, I don''t want to live any longer."

 My Father Is Dead

    ''My child is dead.


    My love is gone.


    The Xu Consortium has gone bankrupt.


    I have nothing but myself, and now I don''t want to live on,'' Xu Zijin thought in despair.


    She madly rushed towards those women and stoned them.


    The echoes of their painful cries reverberated through the cemetery.


    "Stop it!" a solemn voice suddenly came from behind.


    Xu Zijin immediately stopped throwing stones and subconsciously looked back at that man. The very next second, she received a tight slap across the face.


    "Pat!"


    Xu Zijin fell and struck her head against a big stone, her ears ringing. Blood oozed from the wound on her forehead and trickled down into her eyes, blurring her vision.


    "Xu Zijin, how dare you make a scene at Anan''s funeral!"


    Fu Sinian''s handsome face clouded as he looked at her with piercing, sinister eyes as if to cut her to pieces. However, for some unknown reason, his anger disappeared when he saw that her face was covered in blood.


    His eyes darkened and he felt giddy and light-headed, seeing double. It seemed that there was a monster colliding right and left inside him, trying to break away from his control.


    "Brother Sinian, please help me! This madwoman wants to kill me. Just look at my face!" Those women besieged Fu Sinian and scrambled to put the blame on Xu Zijin.


    "Go away!" He raised his foot and kicked them away. "Uncle Fu, drive these women away!"Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    After that, he strode away without even looking at Xu Zijin.


    Xu Zijin sat on the ground with a pale face, looking particularly frail. The slap given by Fu Sinian was like a hammer hitting at her heart, taking all her strength and hope away.


    A clean handkerchief was handed to her by someone. Xu Zijin raised her head and saw Su Xiyu standing in front of her.


    "Are you okay? Just take it and wipe your face." Su Xiyu pointed at the wound on her forehead.


    "Thank you," Xu Zijin said, but she didn''t take his handkerchief because she was afraid of getting him into trouble.


    She struggled to her feet and stumbled along the path, trying to catch up with Fu Sinian.


    She walked a long way before she saw Fu Sinian talking to someone on the phone at the foot of the hill.


    Xu Zijin''s eyes lit up and she was about to walk up to him when her mobile phone rang. She stopped and answered the phone, "Hello, Xu Zijin speaking."


    "Ms Xu, your father, Mr. Xu Yuanshan suddenly took a turn for the worse. He has passed away¡­" a female voice came from the other end of the phone.


    The mobile phone slipped out of Xu Zijin''s grasp. The woman on the other end of the line went on speaking in an anxious voice, but Xu Zijin couldn''t hear her because the mobile phone crashed against the flagstone and was broken in two.


    Fu Sinian seemed to sense something wrong and subconsciously looked back at her.


    A violent wind suddenly sprang up and the sky was overcast with dark clouds.


    Tombstones jutted out of the ground in broken clusters and Xu Zijin stood among them. The wind snatched at the lower hem of her dress. She slowly said, "Sinian, my father... has passed away..."


    Her voice was light and fragile, and she looked thin and weak as if she would be blown away at any time.


    Fu Sinian squinted at her with an indifferent look on his face. "Really? That''s great. You don''t need to change your mourning dress. It''s suitable for your father''s funeral," he sneered, almost spitting venom from his mouth.


    She felt a sharp pain in her chest as if a knife pierced through her heart, all her hope destroyed.


    Joss papers picked up by the wind were whirling in the air and obscuring her vision. Xu Zijin felt a surge of blood rise up to her throat and the very next second, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she fell backward on her back.


    Before she sank into a coma, she saw Fu Sinian rushing towards her. The panic and fear were evident on his face.


    ''No¡­It must be my illusion. Fu Sinian hates me and wants me to die. He doesn''t care about me at all.''


    Xu Zijin twisted her lips into a wry smile and went unconscious.


    Welcome to read chapter 9 -> The Avenger</a> on Flying Lines.

 C9. The Avenger

    Xu Zijin found herself lying on a bed in the hospital when she awoke. She pulled out the needle of the perfusion tube from the back of her hand without hesitation and rushed out of the ward.


    When she arrived at the funeral home, she saw a group of people standing in the mourning hall. Xu Zijin suddenly stopped and dared not walked in.


    On the way here, she had kept telling herself that it was just a practical joke. They tried to make a fool of her because she rubbed them the wrong way. ''Dad is still alive. The Xu Consortium is booming... What happened these days is a bad dream. It''s unreal,'' she thought to herself.


    Soon someone noticed Xu Zijin and mourners stepped aside to let her pass.


    Xu Zijin slowly walked up to her stepmother, Liu Xin. Everything in front of her became unreal to her. She felt weightless, mechanically stepping forward like a lost soul.


    The mourning hall was silent. No one sneered at her; no one railed at her; no one even made a noise.


    Xu Zijin walked for a long time before she reached the coffin.


    Liu Xin in a white mourning dress knelt beside the coffin alone, her face pale and drawn as if Xu Yuanshan''s death had taken a dozen years off her life.


    Liu Xin was crying sadly and her tears needled Xu Zijin''s heart. She immediately came back to her senses and recalled all Fu Sinian had done to her and her family. It was not a dream. She could no longer deceive herself.


    She burst into tears.


    Xu Zijin suddenly threw herself on her knees and wailed with sorrow.


    "Dad--"


    Liu Xin struggled to her feet, rushed up to hold Xu Zijin, beating at her shoulders while crying loudly, "You wicked girl! Why did you come here so late? You father...You father is dead..."


    The two women embraced each other tightly and cried bitterly. An intangible air of sadness filled the mourning hall.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    Suddenly, there came a commotion from the crowd. Fu Sinian walked into the hall, followed by many people.


    Liu Xin became agitated at the sight of him.


    "How dare you come here! Fu Sinian, you bastard! Yuanshan adopted you from the welfare institution and brought you up. He regarded you as his own child, and he even married his only daughter to you. He did everything called for by humanity and duty. But you bit the hand that fed you. You are really an ungrateful wretch!" Liu Xin shouted, her eyes burning with hatred. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to kill this wicked man in front of her.


    "No! Aunt Liu, calm down..." Xu Zijin clung to Liu Xin and stopped her from approaching Fu Sinian.


    "Xu Zijin, how can you take his side? Your father was out of danger after emergency treatment. But yesterday afternoon this man broke into the ward and said something to your father. As a result, this morning your father pulled off the oxygen mask when no one was watching him. Now he is dead. Fu Sinian is the murderer! He killed your father!"


    Xu Zijin''s face paled in an instant. She looked at the handsome man standing in front of her with disbelief.


    She knew Fu Sinian didn''t love her, but she never expected that he would have been so cruel to her father.


    Fu Sinian wore an indifferent look and didn''t intend to respond to the accusation from Liu Xin. "Since you have time to hurl abuse at me, you''d better recall what you did in the past."


    Liu Xin had a look of incomprehension on her face.


    Fu Sinian twisted his lips into a sarcastic smile and said, "Can you tell me what you did to the Fu family in An City twenty years ago?"


    Liu Xin was stunned. Then, she turned pale as a ghost.


    "You¡­" She looked at Fu Sinian in horror and pointed at him with trembling fingers, as if she had seen an evil spirit who had climbed out of the bottom pit of hell to take his revenge.


    "You... You are... Ha ha... No wonder you... That explains a lot... It has been your revenge plan from the beginning..."


    Xu Zijin''s heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of uneasiness surging into her mind.


    "Aunt Liu, what are you talking about? What happened to the Fu family? Why does he want to take revenge on us? What the hell happened twenty years ago?" she asked confusedly.


    Liu Xin looked at Xu Zijin with pity, her eyes filled with tears. Before she could tell Xu Zijin the truth, two policemen came into the mourning hall and asked, "Which one of you is Ms. Liu Xin?"


    Liu Xin took a deep breath to calm herself down, held her stepdaughter in her arms and said in a gentle voice, "Zijin, I hope you will live a happy life." With that she pushed Xu Zijin aside, walked up to the policemen and said, "I am."

 C10. Your Child Is Still in Your Womb

    ¡°Ms. Liu, you are suspected of being involved in an arson case that happened twenty years ago. Please come to the police station with us and assist in the investigation...¡±


    The policemen clipped a pair of handcuffs on Liu Xin''s wrists and took her out of the funeral home. Xu Zijin recovered from the shock and immediately ran after them.


    Suddenly, a car came near at high speed and hit Liu Xin with bone crunching force. She was struck with a loud bang and somersaulted through the air to land like a rag-doll on the ground!


    ¡°No!¡±


    Xu Zijin screamed and rushed over. ¡°Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu!¡± She reached out and wanted to pick up Liu Xin who was bathed in blood, but dared not to touch her because of fear of hurting her. ¡°Hold on! The ambulance will arrive shortly...¡±


    Liu Xin looked at Xu Zijin and her lips moved in an attempt to speak, but her internal organs had been injured and she was continuously vomiting blood. Only some meaningless voices could be heard from her throat.


    She mustered up all her strength to lift her hand, struggling to touch Xu Zijin, however, before her fingertips could reach her stepdaughter''s face, she ran out of her strength and her hand dropped to the ground. This poor woman closed her eyes forever.


    ¡°Aunt Liu!¡± Xu Zijin cried sadly, but the woman who had always treated Xu Zijin as her own child, was dead, unable to comfort Xu Zijin. A sharp pain shot through her heart and she raised her voice in great weeping, ¡°Ah--¡±


    Suddenly, Xu Zijin fainted. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the hospital. She looked blankly at the white ceiling, dazed and dizzy, as if she were still in a dream.


    However, soon she recollected what had happened before she lost consciousness.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    ¡®The Xu Consortium is bankrupt. Dad and Aunt Liu are dead...¡¯


    All the bad memories rushed into her mind uncontrolled. She clenched her fists and recalled the scene of blood continually streaming from Liu Xin''s nose and mouth.


    The mere thought of Liu Xin pained Xu Zijin who immediately sat up, pulled out the needle of the infusion tube and attempted to leave. But as soon as her feet touched the floor, she felt a sharp pain and collapsed onto the floor.


    Just then, a nurse came in, startled to see Xu Zijin fall to the floor. She rushed over to help Xu Zijin up and rebuked, ¡°Are you crazy? You should lie on the bed for a good rest.¡±


    Xu Zijin grasped the nurse''s hand and asked anxiously, ¡°Where is Aunt Liu?¡±


    ¡°Do you mean the woman who had a car accident yesterday?¡± The nurse continued, ¡°She died of fatal wound despite the emergency treatment. I am terribly sorry for your loss but you should restrain your grief and accept fate.¡± She sighed, ¡°I know that the successive deaths of your family are a great shock to you. But for the sake of your unborn child, you should cheer up and look after yourself properly.¡±


    The unborn child?


    Xu Zijin turned around and looked at the nurse in shock and disbelief. ¡°My unborn child?¡± she murmured.


    The nurse replied, ¡°Yes. You are three months pregnant. Aren''t you aware that you are carrying a baby?¡±


    Xu Zijin shook her head and said, ¡°You must be kidding. I was forced to have an abortion ten days ago. My child is dead.¡±


    Xu Zijin gave a bitter smile. Her child had already died in the stormy night ten days ago. Its father, Fu Sinian, had killed it with his own hands.


    The heartache of losing her child tortured her day and night and she could not sleep.


    ¡°You didn''t have an abortion. Look at this picture. The child is still in your womb. You are beautiful and you will surely have a beautiful baby.¡± The nurse took out a picture of an ultra-sound radiography, handed to Xu Zijin and continued, ¡°But you are so weak that you have a sign of miscarriage. So, in the following days you have to stay in bed. You''d better keep in a good mood and rest for your baby.¡±


    Xu Zijin stared fixedly at the black image on the picture and subconsciously covered her slightly swollen belly with her hands. Suddenly, she felt the movement of the fetus.


    Xu Zijin''s eyes lit up, her heart overwhelmed with joy. This unborn child meant so much to her as it gave her the courage to carry on living.


    ¡®My baby¡­ It''s still in my womb. I''m not alone in the world.¡¯

 C11. I Want to Go to a Place Without You

    Xu Zijin hugged the picture tight to her chest and burst into loud sobs with excitement.


    The nurse couldn¡¯t help but furrow her brow and soothed, ¡°Mrs. Xu, please calm down. Crying will do harm to your unborn child. Where is your husband? You have to be hospitalized and we need to talk to him.¡±


    Xu Zijin turned pale in an instant. She grasped the nurse''s hand tightly and begged in a panic, ¡°No! Please! Please don''t contact him!¡±


    The nurse looked at Xu Zijin with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Don''t contact him. He has nothing to do with this unborn child.¡± Although Xu Zijin didn''t know how her unborn child survived from that operation, she knew clearly that Fu Sinian didn''t allow this child to be born into this world. So, she couldn''t let him know of the existence of this unborn child.


    ¡°He has a new lover. We... We are divorced,¡± she explained.


    With this unborn child she had the courage to carry on living. She buried all the pain and suffering deep inside her mind and began to think about what to do next.


    Xu Zijin knew that if Fu Sinian was told that she didn''t have an abortion, he would take her to the hospital and force her to abort their child. So, after the funeral, she packed up her things and went to the airport.


    She sat in the airport lounge, restless, afraid that Fu Sinian would suddenly appear and capture her.


    When she heard the boarding call, she breathed a sigh of relief, dragged her luggage in one hand, her free hand holding her passport and passenger ticket, and lined up to wait for the security check.


    However, she didn''t expect that...


    ¡°I''m sorry, lady, but I have to tell you that you are barred from leaving the country.¡±This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    ¡°What?!¡± Xu Zijin was stunned. ¡°Are you sure? Why am I barred from leaving the country?¡±


    ¡°Sorry, I don''t know. You can check with the department concerned. Next in line...¡±


    Xu Zijin went to the department concerned of the airport and ask why she was barred from leaving the country but the airport officials knew nothing about the reason too.


    Soon the plane took off and disappeared in the sky. Xu Zijin''s uneasiness deepened.


    ¡®Maybe I should leave the airport first,¡¯ she thought.


    When she turned around, she saw Fu Sinian. She was so frightened that she threw her luggage on the ground, turned around and tried to run away. But soon Fu Sinian caught up with her, gripped her arm and drew her into the Nursery Room.


    He slammed the door and locked it behind.


    Then he pinned Xu Zijin against the cold wall. She struggled to get free but couldn''t move.


    ¡°Let me go! Fu Sinian, what do you want to do?¡± she shouted.


    ¡°How dare you!¡± Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes, his handsome face covered with anger. ¡°How dare you attempt to escape?¡±


    Overwhelmed with panic, Xu Zijin subconsciously covered her abdomen tightly with her hands and tried her best to keep herself calm and composed, and then she looked at the man with watchful eyes. ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°Tell me where you want to escape to.¡±


    Xu Zijin desperately pushed him aside and crouched in the corner, her eyes full of stubbornness. ¡°I want to go to a place without you.¡±


    ¡®A place without me?!¡¯


    With an ominous look flashing in his eyes, Fu Sinian stared at her with a cold expression on his face. His gaze was like a stab into her hearts and she turned pale, trembling as if the temperatures in the room dropped suddenly.


    Then he sneered, as his lips curled into a sarcastic arc, ¡°What a pity that you failed to run away from me! Xu Zijin, since you missed the flight, I''m afraid that you will never have a chance to escape again.¡±


    Xu Zijin''s breathing paused momentarily, as pain in her chest was too strong to bear. She bit her lips and tried her best to conceal her feelings, but her efforts were unsuccessful as she couldn''t help but pour out all her grievances, ¡°Fu Sinian, what else do you want from me? My father is dead. Aunt Liu is also dead. My family has been completely ruined by you. Do you want to continue hurting me? Haven''t you had enough?¡±


    Xu Zijin collapsed onto the ground, depleted of all her strength. She had loved the man for so many years and deluded herself that he would fall in love with her one day. But facts proved that it was a sheer daydreaming. Fu Sinian would never love her. As a result of her stubbornness and foolishness, her father and stepmother were dead.

 C12. I Plead Guilty

    Xu Zijin felt a deep sense of guilt eating at her inside day and night. Without the unborn child in her belly, she would have killed herself in a bid to offer an apology to her father and stepmother.


    She hated Fu Sinian, but the one she hated the most was herself. How could she have been so stupid?


    With tears in her eyes, she said, ¡°Fu Sinian, just let me go. Now I see that I was wrong. I promise I won''t love you anymore.¡±


    ¡°I will never let you go, never!¡± Fu Sinian refused categorically.


    ¡®What qualifications do you have to make such a request? You have no right to live freely and happily. Over my dead body will I let you go,¡¯ he thought to himself.


    Fu Sinian was overwhelmed with anger. A stream of strong emotions gushed into his mind.


    He suddenly caught Xu Zijin by the wrist, pulled her up from the ground and pinned her on the cold wall.


    The man slowly leaned over her as his handsome face distorted with fury, the anger boiling in his eyes like the infernal flames, which made her flesh creep in fear.


    Xu Zijin''s eyes was filled with panic as she felt the beast in him. She tried hard to be calm and asked, ¡°Fu Sinian, what do you want to do?¡±


    Fu Sinian raised his hand and grabbed her delicate chin, then he gave a mocking smile and said, ¡°Xu Yuanshan is a coward. He ran away from my revenge by death. But it didn''t matter. After all, you are still here. Just think, if he knows that his beloved daughter suffers the humiliation and becomes my plaything, will he cry bitterly in hell?¡±


    A shiver ran down her spine as she understood what he meant. She began to struggle desperately.


    ¡°Fu Sinian, you can''t do that to me! Let me go!¡±Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    ¡°No way! Since you dared attempt to escape, you have to bear the consequences of your actions. Xu Zijin, you have irritated me.¡± With that, Fu Sinian rudely tore her clothes and plunged deep into her.


    After a long time, the sex finished. Xu Zijin collapsed on the ground as her clothes were in tatters from the way he had savagely tore at them, revealing her milky white skin which was covered with visible bruises and abrasions.


    Fu Sinian in a neat, dark suit standing aside casually wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He looked solemn and elegant as if he was going to a royal banquet.


    ¡°Have you had enough?¡± she asked with a blank expression on her face. ¡°Can you let me go now?¡±


    Xu Zijin wanted to cry, however, her chest felt heavy as if it were filled with lead and she was too exhausted to cry.


    ¡®How ironic! During three years of our marriage, you never slept with me. Now our marriage has broken up but you make love with me because you want to humiliate me.


    Fu Sinian, I hate you but I hate myself even more. How could I have indulged myself in your false tenderness before? How could I have catered to your lust just now?¡¯ she thought.


    Xu Zijin bit her lips and abhorred herself to the extreme. The man ruined her family and killed her father. He was her personal enemy.


    ¡°Xu Zijin, you''d better be obedient. Provoking me wouldn''t do you any good,¡± he said in a cold tone and turned around to leave.


    He was about to open the door when Xu Zijin''s voice came from behind.


    The look on her face was so distant and her voice was so calm as if she had buried all her sorrow. ¡°You are right. I can''t run away from you as long as you don''t want to let me off.¡± Xu Zijin struggled to her feet and staggered to him. She stopped in front of him and stared at him with a look of irony. ¡°But there''s an exception to everything. Fu Sinian, do you really think you can control everything in the world?¡±


    ¡­


    The next day Xu Zijin went to the police office.


    She straightened her back and proclaimed in public, "I killed Mu Anan. I''m here to turn myself in."


    Half a month later, the case came to trial, which sent shock waves throughout the whole An City.


    On the day of trial, it was snowing in great flakes.


    Snow covered the city and the cold winter wind was blowing outside. Fu Sinian finally understood the meaning of Xu Zijin''s last remark--¡°Fu Sinian, you can''t control everything in the world.¡±


    He used his connections to full advantage and hired the best advocate to defend her. However, all his efforts were of no avail because she was determined to send herself to jail.


    In court, she insisted, ¡°I''m guilty. I plead guilty.¡±

 C13. Induced Labour

    When the judge read out the sentence, Xu Zijin was very calm. ''Although I can''t be cruel to others, I can be cruel to myself. Fu Sinian, I finally escape from your control,'' she thought to herself.


    When she walked past Fu Sinian in handcuffs, she suddenly stopped and looked up at him. His eyebrows knitted and his lips curled downwards into a scowl. She had a feeling of satisfaction at his defeat.


    She put on a sunny smile and looked into the eyes of the man whose face was livid with rage. Then she bowed low to him with a cold expression on her face, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. With a raspy voice filled with sorrow, she said, ¡°Fu Sinian, I fell in love with you the first time I set my eyes on you. I was five years old that year. I have always known that you don''t love me, but I refused to face up to reality. I believed that someday you would be moved by my affection for you and we could live happily together.


    But reality gave me a hard slap. You will never fall in love with me. No matter how hard I try, you are still hard-hearted to me. Because of you, I lost my family and friends, and my heart is broken. Now I have nothing at all. So, I''m no longer afraid of you.


    Fu Sinian, from now on, you are no longer my husband and I have nothing to do with you.¡±


    Fu Sinian¡¯s face darkened and something like panic overtook him. He felt as if his heart had been struck by a huge iron clamp, a sharp pain shooting up to his chest, and he perceived the taste of blood in his throat.


    He clenched his fists and blue veins stood out on the back of his hands. He was about to say something but Xu Zijin shut him off.


    ¡°Fu Sinian, your power over me is finished.¡±


    ¡®Because of loving you, I lived on an emotional tightrope and did my best to please you.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    But now I don''t love you, so I am all-conquering and have the power to escape from you,¡¯ she thought.


    Snowflakes were swirling in the air. Even though they stood close, it seemed like they were in two different worlds. To Fu Sinian, she was so near yet so far as if she was going to leave him forever.


    ¡°Xu Zijin, do you think that you can escape from me in this way? You are daydreaming!¡± Fu Sinian gave her a cold look, stood up and left.


    Many years later, Shen Zhangzhu asked Xu Zijin, ¡°Why did you admit that you kill Mu Anan? You knew clearly that you would have no future after you were convicted of murder. Do you think that it was worth it?¡±


    Brilliant sunshine illuminated the garden. Xu Zijin stared out of the window with a smile and replied, ¡°Yes. Apart from death, only in the jail could I stay away from Fu Sinian. At that time, I regarded the place without Fu Sinian as my home.¡±


    After that day, Xu Zijin became the No. 487 prisoner in the jail. After being sent to jail, she had a feeling of peace and serenity. From then on, she would never shed tears because of Fu Sinian. She lay huddled up on the bed and gently stroked her swollen belly.


    ¡®It''s my baby. Soon, I will have a son or daughter. I''m not alone in this cold world,¡¯ she thought.


    Unfortunately, reality always found a way to betray people''s hope.


    Three months later, Xu Zijin was six months pregnant and something terrible happened to her.


    She was pushed down the stairs by someone on purpose.


    Blood streamed from her private part between her legs and quickly soaked her prison uniform. She lay in the snow and sank into the depths of despair. Without guilt, the perpetrators laughed aloud. Soon, she slipped into a coma.


    When she recovered consciousness, she found herself in the operating room.


    ¡°My child... Please save my child... It has been in my womb for six months...¡± she begged.


    ¡°You child can be saved. You can rest assured that we will do our best to save you and your child. But you also have got to cheer up,¡± a doctor gently comforted her.


    Just then, the door of the operating room was pushed open from outside and another doctor walked in.


    ¡°Mr. Fu asks us to give her an induction of labor instead of cesarean section. It doesn''t matter to us whether the child is dead or alive. This is his signed informed consent.¡±


    ¡®Induction of labor...


    It doesn''t matter to them whether the child is dead or alive.


    No!


    No!!!¡¯

 C14. My Love for Him Is Completely Gone

    Xu Zijin struggled, begged and wailed, but it was useless. The doctors pressed her against the operating table and did the induced labor surgery.


    The surgery lasted two hours. Xi Zijin wasn''t anaesthetized, so she clearly felt the cold instrument thrusting into her body and killing her unborn child.


    A violent streak of pain swept through her whole body from her lower abdomen. She felt her blood burning with hatred towards Fu Sinian. Her love for him was completely gone.


    Suffocated by the pain, Xu Zijin fainted away. She thought that she would die on the operating table. Unexpectedly, death mercilessly took her child away but left her alone in the cold world. A few hours later, she recovered consciousness.


    Recalling the death of her unborn child, she sank into the depths of hopelessness. She would rather die than continue suffering in the world.


    ¡°You''re finally awake!¡± Fu Sinian got excited at the sight of Xu Zijin opening her eyes. He looked pale and weary with black-rimmed, bloodshot eyes.


    When he saw Xu Zijin wake up, his eyes lit up.


    At this point, Xu Zijin almost believed that the man in front of her was deeply in love with her, but unfortunately, she knew clearly that it was just an illusion. After going through so many tribulations he had brought to her, she would never kid herself that he loved her.


    Xu Zijin pushed him aside, lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed. But as soon as she moved to get up, the sharp pain gripped her.


    ¡°Be careful. You''re still very weak.¡±


    Fu Sinian held on to her arm and helped her sit up, his eyes filled with worry.


    Xu Zijin gave a snort and pushed him away. She kept on stroking her lower abdomen, but could not feel any movement from the baby. Her child was gone.


    ¡°My child! Where''s my child?¡± she screamed.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Fu Sinian felt a stab of intense pain in his heart. He restrained himself from groaning and said slowly, ¡°Zijin, calm down. The child... The child is dead.¡±


    ¡°No, that''s not true. You''re lying. Fu Sinian, I want my child! Give my child back to me!¡±


    She couldn''t believe that her child was dead. It had lived in her womb for six months and she could frequently feel the movement of the fetus. ¡®He must be lying. My child is still alive,¡¯ she thought to herself.


    ¡°You are the murderer! You want to kill my child! Go away! Don''t touch me!¡± Xu Zijin shook his hands off, got up and rushed out of the ward. ¡°Baby! My baby! Where are you? Please come back to me. Don''t leave me alone...¡±


    ¡°Calm down, Zijin. The child is dead, and it won''t come back to you.¡± Fu Sinian quickly caught up to Xu Zijin and held her in his arms for fear that she would hurt herself by accident.


    Xu Zijin turned a deaf ear to Fu Sinian''s words. In her view, Fu Sinian was the murderer who killed her child. She opened her mouth and snapped at his hand.


    Her snow-white teeth pierced and sank into his skin, and blood immediately started to ooze out. She was burning with hatred and wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.


    ¡®You deserve to die! You are a bad guy!¡¯ she thought.


    Fu Sinian turned to the doctors and barked through gritted teeth, ¡°What the hell are you waiting for? Come over here!¡±


    The medical staff that stood around came back to themselves. They rushed forward and tried to pull her away from Fu Sinian, but she kept her teeth on his flesh and struggled desperately. At last, they had to resort to using tranquillizers on Xu Zijin to subdue her. Due to the effects of tranquilizers, she fell into a deep dreamless sleep.


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    A doctor looked at Fu Sinian''s hand which was mauled by Xu Zijin and gulped a breath of air before he said, ¡°Mr. Fu, your hand...¡±


    Blood was still oozing from the deep wound on the back of his hand and stained his white shirt.


    Xu Zijin had bitten off a small piece of his flesh. She hated him to the core.


    Fu Sinian didn''t care about the wounds. He walked up to the hospital bed and looked straight at Xu Zijin who was weak and unconscious.


    To him, the physical pain was a small thing compared to the psychological pain. If Xu Zijin could forgive him, he would like to suffer more. But he knew clearly that she would never forgive him; instead, she wanted nothing more than to cut him to pieces.


    When Fu Sinian came out of the ward, he saw Su Xiyu waiting for him at the door.


    Su Xiyu looked at Fu Sinian with a serious expression on his face, as his eyebrows knitted together. ¡°You fainted again.¡±


    Fu Sinian¡¯s face suddenly changed and his eyes grew gloomy.


    Both Fu Sinian and Su Xiyu knew that the reason for his sudden faint was very unusual.

 C15. Mu Anan Was Still Alive!

    ¡°I have made an appointment with a foreign expert for you. Sinian, you must be treated as soon as possible,¡± Su Xiyu said.


    Fu Sinian remained silent. He clenched his fists and stared at Xu Zijin in the ward through the glass. After a long time, he said, "I will accept treatment, but not now."


    Su Xiyu knew that Fu Sinian refused to go abroad for treatment because he was worried about Xu Zijin. Su Xiyu sighed and said, ¡°If you faint one more time, I will tie you up and send you abroad for treatment.¡±


    After that, he turned around and left. He did not intend to persuade Fu Sinian anymore. If Fu Sinian had been a man who was open to persuasion, the relationship between him and Xu Zijin wouldn''t have deteriorated to the present state.


    In a corner of the hospital.


    A beautiful young woman with a good figure handed a cheque to the man next to her. If Xu Zijin were here, she would recognize him at once. He was the young doctor who had broken into the operating room with Fu Sinian''s signed informed consent in his hand.


    ¡°Well done. You deserve this cheque. I''m sure that you will be the next Director of this hospital.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Xu Zijin finally came to terms with the fact that her child was dead. However, the very will to survive had been drained completely from her. After she had woken up and made a scene, she ate nothing, stopped drinking water and even gave up sleep. She lay in bed looking particularly frail like a lifeless puppet.


    Everyone knew that she would not live for much longer.


    Even the best doctor in the world couldn''t save a patient who asked for nothing but death.


    One day, Fu Sinian came to visit Xu Zijin and said something to her. She had a fit of hysterics and made a terrible scene again. The nurses and doctors were all frightened by the violence of her reactions.


    Since then Xu Zijin resumed taking foods. Although she still looked gloomy, she had the desire to live.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    On the day she was discharged from the hospital, an unexpected visitor came to her ward.


    The sudden arrival of the woman was a great shock to Xu Zijin. She was seized with burning hatred for the woman. ¡°It''s you!¡± she cried out.


    This woman was of slim build, with long straight dark hair and an oval face. She looked like a southern Chinese lady in a traditional Chinese painting.


    Fu Sinian had told Xu Zijin that Mu Anan had drowned herself in the river. But obviously, he had told a lie. Mu Anan was still alive and now standing in front of Xu Zijin.


    ¡°Xu Zijin, long time no see. How are you? You seem surprised to see me. Does it never occur to you that I am still alive? The whole matter was directed and orchestrated by Sinian.¡±


    Mu Anan wore a triumphant smile and continued, ¡°He wanted you to lose all standing and reputation. He threatened to charge you with murder if your father didn''t offer him the Xu Consortium. Finally, your father gave in. Sinian has harboured resentment against the Xu family for a long time. You know I love him so much. So, in order to destroy the Xu family, I agreed to play dead.


    Now your father and stepmother are dead. The Xu family was ruined. As for you, you have lost your baby, and what''s more, you will spend the rest of your life in prison. Sinian has cleared away the obstacles between him and me. From now on, we can be together. So, it''s time to ¡®resurrect¡¯ me.¡±


    ¡°Do you think I will believe you?¡± Xu Zijin roared. But in fact, she already believed what Mu Anan said.


    ¡®That explains so much. Fu Sinian planned all this from the start...¡¯ she thought.


    She lay in the bed with the quilt over her body, trembling with anger. Her heart shattered into a million pieces, and her body racked with turbulent hatred.


    She had always thought that she deserved punishment because she had killed Mu Anan. But now she knew that was not the case.


    He had been acting from beginning to end. The cold-blooded man masked his wild ambition with the false display of affection for her.


    The truth was, she was just a tool for Fu Sinian to force her father to death and destroy the Xu family.


    ¡°Xu Zijin, why do you refuse to accept the truth? The reason Sinian married you is just because he wanted to blend in the Xu family and wait for the best opportunity to take revenge on Xu Yuanshan. He loves me and only me! You are the daughter of his enemy and the tool of his revenge. Although he treats you well now, you''d better keep sober-minded and wonder why he has suddenly changed his attitude towards you. He wants to take advantage of you to draw the executives who were on friendly terms with the Xu family, over to his side. Xu Zijin, you are a mere tool in his eyes.¡±

 C16. Your Childs Body Was Fed to Wild Dogs

    Xu Zijin sat on the bed staring blankly. Suddenly, Mu Anan came forward, reached out her hand with nails painted bright red and touched Xu Zijin¡¯s belly.


    "Go away!" Xu Zijin huddled herself up and looked at Mu Anan with watchful eyes.


    "I hear that you were forced to abort your six-month-old fetus. The fetus should have hands and feet. What a pity that it''s dead! But don''t blame Sinian. After all, it''s not his child," said Mu Anan.


    "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!" Xu Zijin shouted.


    "You don''t believe me?" Mu Anan twisted her lips into a triumphant smile and gave Xu Zijin a pitying look as if she was looking at a pathetic creature. "Do you remember the kidnapping six months ago? I''m the brains behind the kidnapping, but Sinian saved me without hesitation. Take it easy. I didn''t mistreat you. That night I hired a beefcake at vast expense and sent him to your room. Are you satisfied with his sexual capacity? By the way, I shot a video when you two were making love. Tut, tut... In the past, you always assumed an air of superiority. I didn''t expect you to be so lecherous and dissipated."


    Xu Zijin turned as pale as death. "Impossible! That day when I woke up..."


    "When you awoke, you saw Sinian lying next to you, right?" Mu Anan shook her head. "You are really a muddle-headed person. At that time, the Xu family was immensely powerful. So Sinian had to pretend that he was the one who had slept with you. When your father knew that, he felt guilty. So he resigned and appointed Sinian to CEO of the Xu Consortium. I have to say that you are the most innocent. Did it ever occur to you that the child you risked your life to protect was a bastard? You don''t even know who its father is. Humph! How did it feel to live in the jail? I hear that your stillborn baby was badly bruised all over... By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. "


    Mu Anan paused and continued, "I had someone take a photo of your stillborn baby. For the sake of our acquaintance, I will give it to you. I hope that it will console you a great deal." There was a great deal of irony in her remarks.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    Mu An-an opened her handbag, took out a photo from it and handed it to Xu Zijin.


    Xu Zijin instinctively cast a look at the photo and the very next second, she began to tremble with anger.


    Her eyes reddened with fury, staring at the photo in Mu Anan''s hand.


    In the photo, a little dead baby lay in an iron basin.


    The baby was streaked with blood and covered with blue and purple bruises all over. Blood had oozed from its eyes and nose and left the bloodstains on its small face.


    The horrible scene in the photo hurt the nerves in her head and evoked her violent mood.


    "Ah! Ahhh!!!" she screamed out.


    Xu Zijin suddenly grabbed the photo and threw it on the floor. The room was filled with her painful screams.


    Mu Anan looked at Xu Zijin coldly with no expression on her face. "Xu Zijin, I''m just telling you the truth. We are both daughters of Xu Yuanshan. You are the apple of his eye, but I''m just a poor illegitimate daughter. I was abandoned by him and grew up in the orphanage. Xu Yuanshan was reluctant to admit that I''m his daughter because he was afraid of hurting your feelings. Now he is dead. If he knew that his beloved daughter had been tortured mentally and physically by her husband, would he become a ferocious ghost and take revenge?


    Come on, my sister. Don''t cry. This is just the beginning. Before I came here to visit you, I thought you must miss your baby very much and as your sister, I should fulfill your wish. So I brought the dead baby to the hospital and intended to give it back to you.


    But when I got out of the car, I saw a group of wild dogs. They were hungry for a long time and looked so pitiful. So I gave them..."


    Xu Zijin''s crying stopped abruptly. She could not believe her ears.


    Mu Anan shrugged. "I''m sorry, but I couldn''t bear to see the wild dogs suffer from hunger. If you run faster, you should be able to get some remains of the dead baby..."


    Xu Zijin rushed to the backyard of the hospital like a lunatic and saw the wild dogs eating something. There was blood and some scraps of flesh covered with dust all over the ground.


    She screamed out like a desperate madwoman, ¡°My baby! My poor baby!¡±

 C17. She Stabbed Him in the Chest

    Xu Zikung roared and rushed over, fought tooth and nail to snatch the remains of the dead baby from the wild dogs'' mouths.


    The enraged wild dogs snapped at her arm. She felt a sharp pain as if her bone was broken.


    But Xu Zijin didn''t care about her injured arm. She picked up the scraps of flesh of her dead baby bit by bit, however, they were mangled beyond recognition. She dropped to her knees and let out sad and shrill cries.


    When Fu Sinian hurriedly arrived at the hospital, he saw Xu Zijin in bloodied clothes sitting on the ground with some scraps of flesh in her cupped hands and weeping and laughing at the same time. She seemed insane and her shrill laughter stung his heart with shock.


    Xu Zijin noticed his arrival. She swivelled her head and glared at him, her eyes burning with strong hatred, as if she could shoot poisonous needles at any moment.


    "Fu Sinian, why are you still alive? Why don''t you just die?" she screeched, her bloodshot eyes gleaming with anger.


    Xu Zijin went mad.


    She was finally driven insane.


    She had lost her mind and couldn''t recognize anyone.


    She hit anyone approaching her. When she saw other people''s children, she rushed over to snatch them from their parents'' hands. Once their parents refused to let go of their children, she desperately bit and scratched at them. At midnight, she held a bloodstained doll in her arms and played with it, as if it was her dead baby. Her sick laughter reverberated in the corridor of the hospital and terrified nurses and patients.


    All the people around him advised Fu Sinian to send her to a sanatorium.


    Fu Sinian turned a deaf ear to their advice and took Xu Zijin back to his villa. He invited the best psychiatrists to treat her, but she refused to cooperate with the treatment. She still locked herself in a world of her own and didn''t want to extricate herself from her fantasy. None of the outside world existed for her anymore.


    At last, Fu Sinian got angry.


    He rushed into her bedroom, seized the doll from her hands and gripped her shoulders. "Xu Zijin, are you torturing me or yourself on purpose?"


    Xu Zijin giggled, and her eyes were unfocused.


    She had gone completely insane.


    But Fu Sinian knew that she remembered everything but refused to accept the fact that her child was dead. She isolated herself in her own world to avoid the sad reality.


    ''I don''t allow you to escape from reality. I need you sane and sober,'' he thought.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    His eyes suddenly gloomed. Fu Sinian lowered his head and kissed her on the dry, cracked and pale lips.


    Xu Zijin instinctively began to struggle, but her resistance provoked him.


    "Get away from me... Don''t touch me... Don''t..."


    Her clothes were ripped to shreds, and the doll was thrown out of the window by Fu Sinian, who trapped her on the bed. Her hands were pressed above her head by his hand, and her struggling legs were spread apart by his strong thighs and pressed on the bed. She couldn''t move at all.


    Then, he aggressively entered her body and tore her dry vagina.


    Xu Zijin let out a yelp and couldn''t help shivering with pain.


    Unable to avoid him, she burst into tears.


    She glared at the man, her eyes burning with anger, as the beast of hatred hidden deep in her body slowly woke up.


    ''Why can''t you let me alone in my own world? Why are you doing this to me?


    Everyone thinks that I am insane. But I know clearly that I have never been so rational.


    I couldn''t do anything to save my father, Aunt Liu and my precious child. They are all dead... All the people I care about in this world are gone.


    I can''t sleep every night. Every time I close my eyes, their faces flash in my mind. They died with everlasting regret.


    I feel strong feelings of guilt clawing frantically at my heart, torturing me day and night. How I wish I could die right now. If I died, I could be with my child; I could apologize to my father.


    But I have no right to die.


    So I have to pretend to be insane. In this way I can escape from reality and carry on living in the world. However, you smash my last hope.


    It seems that I was born to be a flying moth chasing the flame, and in the end I bring destruction on myself,'' she thought.


    Xu Zijin looked straight at Fu Sinian and her eyes lost their lustre, blank and calm, like two pools of stagnant water.


    A dark cloud drifted by and covered the moon. The moonlight faded quickly, and the room became dark.


    On the king size bed, Fu Sinian and Xu Zijin held each other so tight as if they had merged into one.


    In the darkness of the night, they were madly tangled up together like two lost souls, their body flapping violently against each other like a pair of wings. The woman''s groans and the man''s low, hoarse gasps echoed in the room.


    Their bodies were so close to each other, but their heart separated by an unbridgeable gap.


    The hands of a clock moved round. But for the man and woman in passion, time was meaningless. They were like two tireless wild animals without hatred and pain, and the only thing they wanted to do was to satisfy their lust.


    "Fu Sinian! Fu Sinian!! Fu Sinian!!!"


    Xu Zijin sitting on his lower abdomen gasped brokenly and called his name repeatedly. She held her head back and her white delicate neck formed a graceful arc. Groans of pain and enjoyment from her mouth clung to the dark night.


    Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped on to his breast. He felt his heart tremble as if her tears were the strong acid, capable of burning his skin and heart.


    Fu Sinian licked his lips, clutched her waist hard and began to conquer her with all his strength. Soon he brought her to the peak of bliss.


    "Ah! I hate you! I hate you!! I hate you!!!!" she screamed.


    ''I have no reason to forgive you. I will hate you until the day I die.


    You are so cruel and ruthless. You don''t love me. You have ruined my life. I used to be a proud, noble young lady, but now I have lost my dignity and become a lowly woman,'' she thought with hatred.


    Xu Zijin cried and raved desperately. Her grief burst forth like uncontrolled flood waters, and she wept like a dam had burst in her soul.


    Before the arrival of the orgasm, a chilling light flashed in the darkness and they froze at the same time.


    The passion came to an abrupt end.


    Fu Sinian gave a groan of pain. He instantly opened his eyes wide and looked up at the tearful woman in disbelief. Just now she had thrust a sharp knife into his chest...

 C18. She Becomes Blind

    "Don''t push me anymore! Don''t..."


    Xu Zijin shook her head and bit her lips. Her breathing became heavy and uneven and she perceive the metallic taste of blood in her mouth. Tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the man''s naked chest. He felt as if an unseen butterfly had flown into his heart and touching a very raw nerve indeed.


    Fu Sinian gently wiped away her tears with his slender, callused fingers. Her tears caused him a great deal of heartache and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.


    "Zijin... Don''t cry..." he said soothingly.


    He never meant to hurt her but she had always suffered because of him.


    Xu Zijin started crying even louder.


    She had been expecting for his gentleness for more than twenty years. But when the day arrived, she only felt a sense of emptiness. Destiny was so cruel to her.


    "Ah!"


    She screamed and withdrew the sharp knife from his chest.


    Blood splashed on the white sheet like the red plum blossoms set off by the white snow.


    The metallic smell of blood lingered in the air, which brought her thoughts back to the day she had been forced to abort her child.


    Hatred of him, for old and new wrongs, welled up in her heart and she squealed, "Why did I meet you? How could I fall in love with you? How could I have been so stupid? Fu Sinian, I hate you! And I can''t hate you more!"


    She hated this man to the extreme.


    How could he have been so cruel and ruthless to her? How could she have been so blind that she even had taken him for a gentleman? In reality, he was a perfidious man.


    Suddenly, a bolt of white lightning crackled through the black sky and then a loud crash of thunder broke the silence of the night. A fierce gale sprang up and the rain commenced pouring violently down.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    Xu Zijin rushed madly into the heavy rain.


    The servants were roused from sleep by her footsteps. They went upstairs, startled to see Fu Sinain lying in pool of blood.


    "Oh my God! Mr. Fu, are you okay? Call an ambulance quickly!"


    Fu Sinian struggled to get out of the bed. The wound was bleeding profusely and stained his bare chest red.


    "Don''t let her go... Leave me... Go and bring her back."


    The servants dared not to chase Xu Zijin who was, in their eyes, a madwoman. No one wanted to approach her because she had a sharp knife in her hand.


    As Fu Sinian reached the front door with the help of the servants, he heard the engine revving and the very next second, a car rushed out of the garage and ran into the rainstorm.


    Fu Sinian turned pale, fear reflecting in his eyes.


    He immediately ordered, "I need a car! Hurry up! We should go after her!"


    "But Mr. Fu, you are injured..."


    The driver tried to persuade Fu Sinian, but he lapsed into a silence at the sight of his employer''s cold eyes.


    Xu Zijin pressed the accelerator hard and the car roared down the road at high speed. The other cars had to take evasive action and drivers couldn''t help shouting abuse.


    But Xu Zijin didn''t hear the abuse because she was immersed in her own thoughts.


    At this time, she was in a state of peace. Outside the window, the street lights whirled past in a flash as the car swerved through. The yellow light picked out her blood-stained face and she looked like an evil spirit who just got out from the pit of the underworld.


    This time Xu Zijin hadn''t made a scene or begged for mercy in front of Fu Sinian. She was fully recovered from insanity and her eyes were distant and calm as she looked straight ahead.


    Soon she arrived at Zhujiang River Bridge. Xu Zijin suddenly smiled, as relief and obvious delight were written all over her face.


    "Dad, Aunt Liu, my baby, we will soon have a reunion..."


    Xu Zijin stepped on the gas pedal harder. At the same time, she loosened her grip on the steering wheel and closed her eyes. The death was coming towards her but she felt a sense of peace and serenity.


    "Bang!"


    The car drove off the railings of the bridge. Inertia carried the car to a higher place in the air, but a few seconds later, it fell directly into the river.


    The river rolled and roared, like a monster swallowing the car and the woman inside it.


    "No! No!" Fu Sinian, who had just arrived, roared with despair at the sight of the car disappearing in the river.


    At this moment, he felt like the light of hope went off and his world was plunged into darkness. A sharp pain ripped through his heart. He coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ...


    Time flew and half a year had passed. Xu Zijin lay huddled up in a chaise longue, feeling peaceful. She thought of herself as a blind person waiting for death.


    When the car had run off the railings of Zhujiang River Bridge, the windscreen had broken on impact and both of her eyes had been cut by a piece of broken glass. Unless she underwent a cornea transplant, she would be blind forever.


    All the doctors in the hospital sympathized with her in her misfortune. She was still so young but she had lost the sight of both eyes.

 C19. Fu Chen

    Xu Zijin had a feeling of peace and serenity. She didn''t feel sad about her blindness.


    For a woman who had lost all hope of life, blindness didn''t hold any fear. In the past, she had had good eyesight but not seen through Fu Sinian''s tricks. Although she was blind now, she knew full well that Fu Sinian was greedy, cruel and full of wild ambitions.


    It was a pity that she was still alive.


    Xu Zijin tried to commit suicide on several occasions but failed. Every time she attempted suicide, the nurse who assumed overall care of Xu Zijin stopped her in time and gave her a lecture.


    Afterwards, Xu Zijin worked through her depression and finally made peace with the truth. She had brought misfortune to her family members, and now she was afraid of getting the nurses and doctors into trouble. After all, they were innocent. Nowadays the relationship between patients and doctors were strained. If she suddenly died, the hospital would be blamed.


    Besides, there were so many people around her every day that she had no chance to commit suicide.


    Gradually, Xu Zijin gave up the idea of suicide.


    Every day she did nothing but eat and sleep. It seemed as though she was in the depths of despair and the only thing she could do was to wait quietly for death.


    Her deep love for Fu Sinian was gone. Even her hatred of him was slowly watered down. As Xu Zijin changed her attitude towards life, she felt a sense of relief.


    As time went on, her sleep grew more persistent. Although she felt good, the doctors and nurses got nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy who might take her life at any time.


    She knew that they were worried about her health because she was anorexic and autistic, and besides, she had many physical problems. In a word, she was in poor health.


    But Xu Zijin didn''t care about her own health at all. She felt as if she had been released from the prison where she had been imprisoned for twenty-five years. She had her first taste of freedom in the last few months. She felt great.Stolen story; please report.


    However, her happy days were soon over...


    The hospital recently hired a new male nurse called Fu Chen. He was a chatterbox and disturbed the peace of her life.


    After he took over the job of taking care of her, Xu Zijin was troubled and tormented by his chatter.


    When she had no appetite and refused to eat, he lectured her by saying that every single grain was the fruit of farmers'' hard work and lots of people in the world had nothing to eat.


    When she only ate rice, he impressed on her the importance of a balanced diet and gave countless examples.


    Xu Zijin was in a fractious mood. She covered her head with the quilt and went back to sleep.


    She guessed that the man must have been a dumb person in his previous life. After reincarnation, he regained the power of speech and became a chatterbox. Every day she had to listen to him talk a lot. The man was mentally torturing her and his constant nagging almost drove her crazy.


    If he had a good voice, she would like to listen to him. But in reality, he had a loud harsh voice. When he was cheery, he would sing a song. However, his singing was another unbearable torment to her.


    Xu Zijin ran out of patience and had a strong desire to drive him away. But when she learned his story from the nurses, she changed her mind.


    Her heart was softened and she decided to tolerate him.


    The man led a miserable life. When he was a child, his parents died in an accident. Afterwards, he grew up and took a wife. Unfortunately, his wife committed suicide by jumping into the river.


    He lost his father and mother at a very early age, and in his twenties, his wife left him too. After that, he was all alone in the world.


    Worse still, he suffered disfigurement in a fire which also resulted in permanent damage to his throat. If she drove him away, he would be fired and lose his means of livelihood.


    Xu Zijin was very sympathetic to his tragic experience because she had a similar past. So in a soft-hearted moment, she agreed to keep him. As a result, she had to carry on with his nagging.


    ''I am too softhearted,'' Xu Zijin sighed and had a presentiment that she would continually suffer for her impulsive decision.


    Just then, the door of her ward was pushed open by someone from outside and she heard a familiar, harsh voice. Clearly her worries came true.


    "It''s a lovely sunny day. The roses in the garden are in flower. Let''s go and enjoy the flowers," said Fu Chen.


    Xu Zijin rolled her eyes and thought, ''You must be out of your mind. Do you really think it''s a good idea to take a blind person to enjoy the flowers?''


    She was about to refuse him, but as per usual, he ignored her feeble resistance, quickly picked her up and carried her out of the ward.

 C20. She Can Only Depend on This Male Nurse Now

    Xu Zijin rolled her eyes and thought, ''All right, it is tiring to argue with him.''


    Lying in the embrace of a pair of warm arms, she had a surprising sense of security. He carefully carried her with one arm around her shoulders and the other arm under her knees as if she was a frail priceless treasure. In a trance she had a feeling of being cherished.


    Xu Zijin didn''t sleep well recently. Every night she lay in the bed staring blankly at the ceiling till dawn, although she couldn''t see a thing. Now she felt secure and protected in his arms. Gradually, she became drowsy. With her head against his shoulder, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.


    Before she drifted out of consciousness, she thought, ''Though this guy is a nuisance, he makes me feel at ease and I can have a good sleep in his arms. Well, I finally find the good in him.''


    Xu Zijin slept soundly and missed the chance to enjoy the roses in the garden. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the ward.


    As a blind person, she lived in complete darkness. But as time went by, she became more sensitive to smells and sounds. She cocked an ear and listened carefully, and from the patients'' conversations outside she knew that it was already evening.


    After a long sleep, Xu Zijin had a strong desire to urinate. She shouted out the names of the nurses and hoped that they would come in and help her but no one heard her shouting. Finally, she had to get out of the bed and grope her way to the bathroom.


    A few minutes later, just as she walked out of the bathroom, a gust of wind howled. Many branches were broken off in wind and slapped violently at the window. Suddenly, the window got broken and shards of glass flew off in all directions. The cold air poured into the ward.


    "Ah!" Xu Zijin gave a cry and fell to the floor, shivering with fear. Those bad memories that had been pushed down to the bottom of her heart for several months, cascaded through her mind.


    "Fu Chen! Fu Chen!! Where are you?" she yelled.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Xu Zijin wanted to hide somewhere, but she was so afraid that she couldn''t even raise the energy for a step. What made her ashamed was that she could do nothing but call that male nurse''s name.


    "Bang!"


    The door was kicked open and a man rushed in.


    "Zijin!" a voice full of anxiety rang in her ears.


    The voice was so familiar that she recognized it at once. Her body began trembling with terror.


    The next moment a pair of big hands pulled her close into a warm and familiar hug. She turned as pale as death and trembled more violently. "Fu... Fu Sinian?!"


    The man froze and the next second, a harsh voice said, "Miss Xu, I''m Fu Chen."


    She frowned with doubt and thought, ''Is he really Fu Chen?''


    The hospital staff came quickly. The window was broken and the floor was covered with splinters of glass. So Xu Zijin had to move to another ward.


    She felt uneasy in unfamiliar surroundings. Although she tried her best to hide her nervousness, she couldn''t restrain herself anymore when Fu Chen was about to leave. She caught his arm and refused to let him go.


    "Please don''t go..." Xu Zijin couldn''t stop trembling, as her voice was full of panic. "Don''t leave me alone."


    She knew it was ridiculous to ask this male nurse, who was almost a complete stranger to her, for help. But after death of her parents and child, she had no one to turn to, no one to talk to. Now she had no home, no family and nothing. The only person she could turn to for help was Fu Chen who always treated her kindly.


    Fu Chen turned around and looked down at her. She looked weak and fragile with her eyes wide open in horror, which needled his heart. He gently patted her on the back and said in a low voice, "Don''t be afraid. I just want to get some medicinal liquid from the nurses. You grazed your knees just now. The scrapes should be treated in time."


    Xu Zijin lowered her head, her long hair falling around her shoulders. The shadow masked her face. Her knuckles were white as she gripped a corner of his coat.


    Fu Chen gave a helpless sigh, sat down beside her and reached out to press the call bell placed alongside the bed.


    The nurse quickly came to the ward. She applied medicine on Xu Zijin''s knees and told Xu Zijin some dos and don''ts before she left the ward.


    There were only two people left in the ward.


    Fu Chen led her to the bed, helped her lie down and tucked her in. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down. "Close your eyes, and have a good sleep. I will always be there for you."


    ''Really? He will always be there for me...'' she thought to herself.


    She felt the familiar breath of Fu Chen. His harsh voice miraculously soothed her and gradually exorcized her feelings of panic and terror.


    Xu Zijin finally regained her composure but by then she was no longer sleepy at all.

 C21. People Who Love Me Will Come to No Good End

    She opened her eyes and stared at the darkness before her with an unfocused look on her face. What had happened these days showed constantly in her mind.


    Xu Zijin had always felt like a walking corpse and running flesh, quietly waiting for death. But just now when she had stayed in the ward alone, she had been seized with uncontrollable panic and a strong survival instinct had surged up within her.


    ''So, in fact I don''t want to die. But why do I still want to live after suffering so much?'' she thought to herself.


    "Can''t you sleep?" the harsh voice rang in her ears again.


    "Hmm," Xu Zijin replied. It was the first time she had answered him. In the past, he had always run a one-man show because she had ignored him completely.


    Fu Chen brushed aside her hair with his fingers and pinned it behind her ears. "Don''t be afraid. I''ll be there for you. I promise you I will not put you in danger anymore."


    Xu Zijin was on the verge of tears. She had looked forward to hearing such gentle words from Fu Sinian, the man she had loved deeply for many years. But he never showed her any tenderness. Now she heard those gentle words from Fu Chen who was a complete stranger to her.


    Truth to tell, she only wanted a house that could shelter her from wind and rain and a man who deeply loved her. With those, she could build a warm and happy family.


    She had thought that Fu Sinian was the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, but the reality gave her a hard slap.


    After a long silence, Xu Zijin said, "Fu Chen, you are not an ordinary male nurse, right?"


    She thought that Fu Chen would deny it, but he readily admitted it.


    "Zijin, I knew you a long time ago, but you didn''t know my existence before." He paused for a second and continued, "Zijin, I love you. I have loved you with an everlasting love..." He had once thought that he would never have a chance to express his love to her. Fortunately, the moment he had been waiting for so long had arrived.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    There was a convincing show of affection in his soft words. The softest place in her heart was touched. She was not a fool and could understand why he always treated her like a fragile treasure.


    She had loved a man who didn''t love her, and had done everything she could to please him.


    When a woman lost her heart to a man, she would worry about him at any time. Wherever she went, she was afraid that he would catch a cold or go hungry. When he was unhappy, her heart ached for him. She wanted to stay with him all the time and was willing to do everything to make him happy.


    Now Fu Chen was making clumsy overtures of affection towards her, just like what she had done to Fu Sinian before.


    Xu Zijin wanted to ignore him and refuse to admit him into her heart, but she already had feelings for him. He was like a gentle breeze, puffing across her heart lake and raising a thousand ripples.


    Xu Zijin was in a mixture of confusion and fear. She had been bloodied in love, and now she drew a lesson from the past bitter experience that she should always depend on herself. Fu Chen was so good to her that she was afraid that she would lose herself and be wholly reliant on him in the future.


    There was silence in the dark ward.


    Fu Chen frowned and called softly, "Zijin."


    Xu Zijin was quiet.


    He called her name again but she didn''t answer. Panic overwhelmed him. He promptly stood up and turned on the light.


    As the room brightened up, he saw Xu Zijin crying quietly. She clamped her hand against her mouth and her pale face was bathed in tears.


    Fu Chen froze and didn''t know how to comfort the crying woman. He stammered with nervousness, "I... Zijin... You..."


    "Don''t look at me." Xu Zijin pulled up the quilt and buried herself under it.


    "Don''t cry, Zijin." Fu Chen lifted the quilt and gently wiped the tears off her face with his trembling, slender fingers. "If I had known that you would cry because of my words, I wouldn''t have said that... Don''t cry, I beg you..."


    "Please stop loving me..." Xu Zijin sobbed, "People who love me will come to no good end..."


    Despair and sadness flooded her thoughts once again, overwhelming and almost suffocating her. She seemed to have been afflicted with a curse because she always brought misfortune and danger to people around her, especially to those who loved her.


    She didn''t want Fu Chen to suffer because of her. Her heart could not bear another great blow by suffering the pain of losing her beloved people.


    "Don''t talk nonsense." Fu Chen drew her tenderly into his arms and bowed his head. As his eyes lingered on Xu Zijin''s face, they were filled with sorrow and despair. "Zijin, I only exist because of you. If you don''t allow me to love you, I will lose my desire to live."

 C22. Fu Chen? Fu Sinian!

    As tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, Xu Zijin raised her head in shock and disbelief, her heart beating violently.


    They were kissing and cuddling in the ward.


    Xu Zijin had no idea of how that happened. Fu Chen kissed her so gently and piously that she couldn''t refuse him at all.


    He cupped her face and kissed her tears away with pure adoration, like a devout follower devoting himself to his goddess.


    The kiss lasted for a long time. Finally, Fu Chen let go of her and sat back in his chair. "Sweet dreams, Zijin. I will stay here."


    Xu Zijin buried herself in the quilt, her heart beating fast and wild.


    "You can lie on the bed and sleep..." Xu Zijin suddenly paused as she realized it was improper to invite a man to sleep on the same bed with her. So she hurriedly explained, "It''s cold... And the bed is big enough... I don''t mean that..."


    Xu Zijin stopped speaking and felt a sense of chagrin. She seemed to make things worse.


    Fu Chen held his breath. Just as Xu Zijin searched her mind for some words to explain her real meaning, he suddenly lifted the quilt and got into bed.


    Xu Zijin stiffened for a few seconds. The man lying next to her was like a glowing centre of warmth attracting her close to him. She slowly crept into his arms, rested her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes.


    The night was pressing up against the windows. The wind howled and the rain poured down in torrents. Fu Chen and Xu Zijin hugged each other in bed as if to merge into an organic whole.


    Suddenly, a loud thunder cracked in the sky, "Boom..."


    The sleeping man abruptly opened his eyes, with a puzzled look on his handsome face.


    When he lowered his head, he saw the woman snuggling up to him and sleeping soundly. The confusion vanished from his face and his eyes were filled with shadow.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    Outside the hospital.


    Su Xiyu leaned against the door of his black Bentley and lit up a cigarette, as he waited for his friend. The wind blew away the smoke. He was lost in thought and his eyes were like bottomless brown pools.


    Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps. Su Xiyu raised his head and saw a tall figure coming toward him from the hospital gate.


    Su Xiyu snuffed out the cigarette he was smoking and said, "Fu..."


    He thought that the man was Fu Chen, but when he met the man''s eyes, he realized something was wrong. Su Xiyu frowned and asked in a tentative tone, "Sinian?"


    The dim street light illuminated the man''s face, pale and morbid. He kept a straight face, as his eyebrows knitted and his eyes were full of insidious feelings. Obviously, he was Fu Sinian at this moment.


    "Get in the bus!"


    A harsh voice broke the silence of the night. If Xu Zijin was here, she would recognize him as soon as she heard his voice. He was Fu Chen, the man she trusted most now.


    Fu Sinian opened the door and got in the car. Su Xiyu sighed and sat on the driver''s seat.


    When they arrived at the Golden Beach Villa, they saw Mu Anan sitting on the couch in the living room. At the sight of Fu Sinian, she stood up with a smile and walked towards him.


    "Sinian, you''re back!"


    "Who permitted you to come here?" he asked in a cold, hard voice.


    Mu Anan froze, as her smile vanished. She looked at him and asked tentatively, "What happened to you, Sinian? You look tired." With that she reached out a hand to take his arm.


    Fu Sinian shook her hand off with a cold expression on his face and said, "Don''t come to my villa again."


    Aggrieved, Mu Anan bit her lips and wanted to say something. But before she could open her mouth to speak, Fu Sinian turned around and went upstairs.


    Mu Anan watched his back disappear at the end of the stairs, as the grievance of being given the cold shoulder overwhelmed her. She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails were digging into her palms. The physical pain slowly turned into a sharp mental pain. In her heart, the accumulation of anger, jealousy and resentment gradually emerged, even diluting her affection for Fu Sinian.


    ''Xu Zijin! It''s all your fault,'' she thought to herself.


    Su Xiyu followed Fu Sinian up the stairs into the main bedroom. As expected, he was in the bathroom.


    Fu Sinian stood naked under the shower. The cold water flowed through his whole body, washing every inch of his skin. The scar on his chest could be seen clearly in the lamplight.


    Su Xiyu withdrew silently.


    An hour later, Fu Sinian came out of the bathroom. He wore a cold and distant look, which made him look like a snow mountain standing high and dominant in the arctic. The temperatures in the room seemed to drop suddenly.


    Welcome to read next chapter - You Must Be Crazy!</a> and more ahead on Flying Lines.

 C23. You Must Be Crazy!

    Fu Sinian looked at Su Xiyu and said indifferently, "Give me the medicine."


    Su Xiyu furrowed his brows and looked into Fu Sinian''s bloodshot eyes. "You can''t take that medicine anymore. You are suffering from the after-effects of the medicine and your mental condition is getting worse. Now Fu Chen''s personality has been taking control over your body more often than you. Sinian, you have to go back to America and accept treatment. Otherwise, you will..."


    Su Xiyu suddenly stopped in mid-sentence.


    "I will become a lunatic, right?" Fu Sinian spoke out what Su Xiyu thought with an indifferent look on his handsome face as if he didn''t care about himself at all.


    ''It''s impossible to cure me. Since Fu Chen came into being inside me, I have become a lunatic,'' he thought to himself.


    Su Xiyu looked at his good friend, Fu Sinian, with a convoluted expression on his face, as his frown curved deeper.


    Fu Sinian lived for hatred from the age of five. Unfortunately, he met Xu Zijin.


    In the eyes of Su Xiyu, Fu Sinian was a sensible and cold-blooded man. In order to exact a revenge upon the Xu family, he had restrained his hatred and lived with his enemies for so many years. He had taken advantage of people around him and never lost an opportunity to destroy the Xu Consortium and the Xu family from within.


    For Fu Sinian, everyone he knew was just a tool of his revenge.


    Finally, Xu Yuanshan and Liu Xin had died and he had succeeded in avenging his family who had died distressingly more than 20 years ago.


    Unexpectedly, Xu Zijin''s deep love affected him. After a gruelling fight between his emotion and reason, his secondary personality, Fu Chen was born.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Fu Chen loved Xu Zijin dearly. Just as what he had said to her in the hospital, he only existed for her. Without Xu Zijin, he would lose his desire to live.


    "Sinian, you have to go to America. In the past, Fu Chen woke up only when he was greatly stimulated. But now the situation has changed. He takes over your body when you get emotional because of Xu Zijin. And maybe in the future, he will turn up as long as you close your eyes or let down your guard. In the end, perhaps he will take complete control of your body."


    Fu Chen''s personality was growing stronger at a surprising speed. He was like an invisible bomb hiding inside Fu Sinian and quietly waiting for the best time to dismiss Fu Sinian''s personality completely. What was more, he knew what Fu Sinian said or did, but Fu Sinian knew nothing about him.


    If your enemy knew you pretty well but you knew nothing about him, it would be very dangerous for you.


    Suddenly, Su Xiyu remembered a conversation he had with Dr. Bossen this morning. Dr. Bossen had said, "If he goes on like this, I''m afraid that Fu Chen''s personality will dominate control over the body and even eliminate Fu Sinian''s personality."


    Fu Sinian suddenly said, "He won''t have another opportunity to take over my body."


    In the light from the lamp, his dark eyes grew sharp all of a sudden, shining with determination, like a beast accumulating all his strength, ready to pounce on his prey.


    Fu Sinian didn''t allow himself to be a deserter. In the past, He hadn''t taken action because he hadn''t known the existence of Fu Chen. But now he knew that, he would certainly do something to prevent Fu Chen from taking over his body again.


    Fu Sinian kept his word. In the next three days, just as Fu Sinian had promised Su Xiyu, Fu Chen had no chance to turn up.


    However, it didn''t make Su Xiyu relaxed; instead, he became more anxious because Fu Sinian was torturing himself. He didn''t sleep for three days, so his eyes were bloodshot with dark circles under them.


    There were a hundred and one ways in which he could deal with Fu Chen. However, Fu Sinian chose the most efficient but torturous way to repress his secondary personality. He tried everything to keep awake.


    In these three days, he injected lots of drugs into his own body to keep himself in a state of excitement so that he wouldn''t fall asleep.


    "Fu Sinian, you must be crazy!"


    Welcome to read next chapter She is abducted and sold!</a> ahead.

 C24. She is abducted and sold!

    Su Xiyu wiped the sweat off his face that was careworn with anxiety. Never did Su Xiyu thought that Fu Sinian would treat himself in such a ruthless way. "Yes, in this way Fu Chen has no chance to turn up, but your health will soon break down. Moreover, your body''s resistance to that kind of drug is increasing and soon after, it will no longer have any effect on you. If you go on like this, perhaps you will die."


    Fu Sinian twisted his lips into an indifferent smile and replied casually, "So what? I don''t care!"


    ''Even if I will die, I won''t give Fu Chen any chance to approach Xu Zijin. She is my woman! Even death can''t take her away from me!'' he thought, as his jaw jutted with determination.


    Fu Sinian drove to the hospital.


    Before he would walk into the ward, a nurse rushed to him and said with anxiety, "Mr. Fu, Miss Xu is gone! We can''t find her anywhere."


    Xu Zijin was awakened by the beating of gongs and drums. She opened her eyes, dazed and dizzy. The firecrackers were crackling and spluttering outside, which jangled her nerves.


    A few days ago, as always, she went to the garden and basked in the sun. Suddenly, she heard the approaching footsteps of some strangers, and then she was swiftly incapacitated by a handkerchief soaked in a powerful drug that covered her mouth and nose tightly. Soon she lapsed into an anesthetized unconsciousness.


    When she woke up, she was already in a moving minivan. As her arms and legs were weak, she couldn''t even raise the energy to get up. Xu Zijin composed herself and sensed that something was very wrong.


    She seemed to have been kidnapped.


    Xu Zijin wanted to run away, but the kidnappers were very alert. Every time before the effects of the anesthetic began to wear off, they injected her again to prevent her from regaining the strength. She could only lie half-conscious in the minivan, listening to them talking.


    From their conversations, she knew that these kidnappers were human traffickers. They had kidnapped her and now was taking her to a remote place. She would be sold.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Gradually, she lapsed into a deep coma.


    Xu Zijin bit her lips and slowly woke up from the memory.


    ''Where am I now? Have I been sold?'' she thought.


    Xu Zijin had thousands of questions on her mind. The loneliness and unknown danger played tricks to her head that she was about to get crazy.


    She calmed herself down and tried to find a way out of her dilemma. There was a sudden sound of footsteps coming towards her, and then the wooden door was pushed open from the outside and squeaked.


    The very next second, someone walked in.


    "Who are you?" Xu Zijin struggled to sit up, picked up a pillow and hugged it tight to her chest, as her big eyes were guarded and vigilant.


    "You are blind?" a middle-aged woman''s voice asked. Although Xu Zijin couldn''t see the woman, she knew that the woman must be regarding her with a contemptuous look.


    The woman turned around and said to a middle-aged man, "Damn it! I didn''t find her blind because she was in sleep when we bought her from Mr. Hei. She''s beautiful and I thought that it was a good deal. But I didn''t expect that she was a blind woman. How dared Mr. Hei cheat me! I''m going to settle scores with him."


    "Calm down and listen to me. Mr. Hei is an extremely astute trafficker. And now he must have already left our village. Everything has two sides. Just think about Mr. Li''s daughter-in-law. She is not blind, but every day she stirs up trouble. So, for us, it''s okay to have a blind daughter-in-law because she is incapable of running away." The man persuaded, "Our son is different from other normal men. As long as she can give birth to our grandson, I think she is worth the money we paid."


    The middle-aged woman was persuaded. Poker-faced, she said to Xu Zijin, who was sitting on the bed and trembling, in a gruff voice, "Listen to me carefully. I don''t care where you are from. I spent 20,000 yuan on you and from now on, you are my son''s wife.


    In truth, I wanted to buy an honest, obedient and capable woman to be my daughter-in-law. Who could have expected that you are blind? What rotten luck! Alas! Oh well, as long as you marry my son and give birth to my grandson, I will treat you well. But if you attempt to run away, I''ll show you no mercy."


    After warning Xu Zijin, they two went out.


    The room quietened down. Xu Zijin was restless, her heart beating frantically with fear at her own unknown fate.


    "Have I really been sold?" she murmured to herself.


    Xu Zijin had seen some news reports saying that some poor women had been abducted and sold to families in some god-forsaken villages and been treated as a tool to bear children.


    She had sincerely prayed for those women, hoping that they could be saved and live a happy life. However, not once did it occur to her that she would be kidnapped and sold by the human traffickers.


    Welcome to read next chapter No One Will Come to Save Me</a> ahead.

 C25. No One Will Come to Save Me

    Xu Zijin was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic.


    ''How could this be? I have lost everything. My father, my stepmother and my child are all dead because of me. My love for Fu Sinian is gone. And I''m blind... I once thought that I was at the bottom and couldn''t be any worse off. But now I''m in an even worse situation.


    Did I do something wrong? Why did these bad things happen to me?


    If I had known that one day I would suffer like this, I would have drowned myself in the Zhujiang River. At least, in that case I wouldn''t be forced to be a stranger''s wife.


    No! I can''t stay here and sit passively for my end. I have to do something to save myself,'' she thought.


    Xu Zijin finally came to her senses and decided to run away. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a while. There was a dead silence outside. She got out of the bed in a hurry.


    Perhaps it was because Xu Zijin was a poor blind woman that the middle-aged woman hadn''t locked the door when she had left. Xu Zijin felt her way out of the room and stumbled along a narrow mountain road.


    The road was rugged and rough. She bumped along the rough road with difficulty, her heart filled with panic. How she wished she could grow wings and fly away from this damnable place!


    ''If I weren''t blind...'' she thought.


    For the first time, Xu Zijin hated herself for being blind.


    Xu Zijin failed to escape. Soon after, she was caught and taken back to the village. At the sight of her, that middle-age woman slapped her hard across the face. Xu Zijin fainted away because of her poor health.


    When she awoke from the coma, she could hardly breathe because someone was lying on top of her. Then a hand tugged rudely at her upper outer garment and tried to tear it up. She felt achy all over.


    "My wife... She is my wife... Haha..."The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    A voice rang in her ears. Xu Zijin suddenly came to herself and realized what was happening to her. Someone was trying to rape her! What a horrible thing! Terrified, she opened her eyes and struggled frantically. "Go away! Let go of me!"


    "Haha... Mom... My wife is awake..." a mentally retarded man said.


    "My dear son, your wife is awake and you can have sex with her," the ferocious middle-aged woman said in a soft voice.


    "I want to have sex with her. I want a baby." The retarded man was so happy that he clapped his hands.


    "What are you going to do to me? This is against the law! Go away! Don''t touch me!" Xu Zijin screamed and flailed her arms wildly to prevent them from approaching her. She was so scared that she couldn''t help trembling, because she knew clearly what they were going to do to her.


    "Clap!"


    The middle-aged woman gave her a hard slap in the face.


    "Shut up! Lay down and open your legs. You''d better be obedient. Otherwise, I swear you will suffer a lot."


    Xu Zijin''s cheek became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye. Five fingerprints were etched into her face and looked shocking, while her ears were buzzing from the blow. She perceived the metallic taste of blood in her mouth. Desperation filled her eyes and a crazy idea rushed into her mind. Suddenly, she raised her foot and kicked that retarded man out of the bed.


    The man fell heavily to the ground. The middle-aged woman rushed over to hold him, crying and shouting. Xu Zijin gritted her teeth and banged her head against the brick wall with determination.


    ''I would rather die than live in such a painful, humiliating way,'' she thought to herself.


    "Bang!"


    She felt a sharp pain in her head and lost her consciousness again.


    ...


    It was late at night, and all was quiet in the village. In a shabby shack, Xu Zijin crouched in the corner shivering with cold, as the cold wind was blowing through the big crack of the wooden door. Her head was swathed in bandages and her face was swollen and bruised.


    It was only three days since she had been brought here. However, she had lost a lot of weight.


    Three days ago, she had tried to commit suicide but failed. Then she was locked in this shack which was filled with the foul smell of the feces of pigs and dogs.


    Perhaps because they were afraid that she would attempt suicide again, they didn''t force her to sleep with their son these days. But Xu Zijin was on high alert.


    Over the past few days, every time she had just fallen asleep, she woke suddenly with a start. She was frightened, fearful and hungry. As time went by, she was gradually sinking into the depths of despair.


    Xu Zijin hoped that someone would come and save her, but she knew soberly that it was just an extravagant hope.


    Fu Chen was the only person in the world who cared about her.


    But she didn''t think that he would come to save her. No one would take risks for an unrelated person.


    Welcome to read next chapter Begging for Death</a> ahead.

 C26. Begging for Death

    Xu Zijin wanted to die with her dignity, but she couldn''t even ask for death.


    She was unable to move with her hands and feet tied with ropes. A dishcloth had been stuffed into her mouth to prevent her from making noise. Besides, she was kept under close guard.


    She was now in a hopeless situation that was even worse than death.


    Suddenly, with a creak the door of the shack was pushed open from the outside.


    Someone came up to her and drew the dishcloth out of her mouth. Before Xu Zijin could react, a rough hand gripped her delicate jaw and poured cold liquid medicine down her throat.


    Xu Zijin had a presentiment that the liquid medicine would pose a danger to her. She gritted her teeth and refused to drink it. Unfortunately, some liquid was inevitably forced into her stomach.


    Soon, she felt the effects of the liquid medicine. Every nerve in her body and brain was electrified. She realized that the liquid medicine was an aphrodisiac. A strong sense of emptiness drove her to roll on the ground.


    She screamed, "Ah! Let me go!"


    "Save your breath. I got this liquid medicine from an experienced doctor in the town. It cost me a lot of money. After taking it, even animals would act on their most primal instinct of reproduction. Even if you have a strong will and an indomitable spirit, you will lose your head and play up to my son in bed," the middle-aged woman said triumphantly, and then turned to her retarded son. "Come here, my dear son. Your dad and I will show you how to make love. Watch carefully and do it with your wife. A woman can be easily conquered in bed. She will fall for you by and by."


    Hearing that, Xu Zijin was seized with a strong sense of panic and broke out in a cold sweat. She could hardly believe her ears. ''Was that woman asking her son to rape me in public? She even wants to perform live!'' she thought, shaking all over with fear.


    In a trembling voice, Xu Zijin shouted, "No! Don''t come any closer!" After saying that, she bit down hard on her tongue in an attempt to stay sober. She felt her whole body burning with desire, and was losing control over her mind.


    Xu Zijin struggled to get up and tried to escape. However, before she could take a step, the woman and her husband caught hold of her arms and pinned her to the ground.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    The very next second, they began to tear at her clothes.


    "Ah!" Xu Zijin screamed desperately. "Help! Anybody, please help me! Help!"


    She was now at the edge of a cliff and would fall into the abyss of darkness at any time. The only thing she could do was to cry, shout and prayed for rescue from anyone.


    "Open your legs! Don''t act like you are a virgin. Come on, do something to please my son."


    The woman''s indecent words rang in her ears. Every word was like a hammer pounding on her heart heavily. She felt as if she had been stripped of her dignity. Then, two rough big hands accurately grasped her ankles, separating her legs with force.


    Was death the worst punishment in the world? No. In fact, death meant a relief to Xu Zijin.


    She had been forced to take the aphrodisiac and been stripped in public. They treated her as a lowly prostitute, insulted and bullied her. Every bit of her dignity was swept into the dust.


    "No... Please... Fu Sinian... Where are you? Fu Sinian..."


    Tears mixed with blood streamed down her face. She couldn''t reconcile herself to being raped by a stranger. But she could do nothing but shout and cry.


    She wanted to die.


    She really wanted to die!


    But at this moment, death was out of her reach.


    Before her knickers would be torn up and her pure body would be sullied, the door of the shack was kicked open with a bang. A streak of light poured in and a man''s silhouette was outlined on the ground.


    "Zijin!"


    A roar of rage reverberated in the shack. When Fu Sinian, who had travelled day and night before arriving at the village, saw what was happening in the shack, his face darkened all of a sudden and his eyes were full of anger. The thick heavy murderous look was overwhelming. The couple could hardly breathe under his hard stare.


    Fu Sinian strode forward, kicked away the retarded man who was laying on Xu Zijin, and stamped on his penis. The poor man let out a loud scream, as his entire face twisted in agony. In a gust of uncontrollable anger, Fu Sinian stepped on his penis harder and harder. Slowly, blood stained Fu Sinian''s patent leather shoes.


    "Fuck you! Who the fuck are you? Let go of my son!"


    The couple were completely shocked at the sudden arrival of Fu Sinian and his men. The shrill cry of their son brought them back to their senses. They instantly rushed over and tried to rescue their son. However, Fu Sinian kicked them off without hesitation when they came near.


    The couple fell on the ground like two rag dolls, feeling sharp pains all over their bodies. Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Su Xiyu, who had just arrived here, looked at Fu Sinian and Xu Zijin with concern. Fu Sinian took off his coat, spread it to cover Xu Zijin''s vulnerable body, and then held her tightly in his arms. His eyes were blood-shot red and gleaming with anger. Behind him was that couple and their retarded son. They were rolling on the ground and wailing loudly.


    "I want them to suffer a living hell," Fu Sinian ordered in a sharp, aggressive tone, emphasizing every word. The mixture of malice and hatred in his dark eyes made him look like a demon who just climbed out of hell.

 C27. I Want Them to Suffer A Living Hell

    Su Xiyu was astounded at the sight of the murderous look in Fu Sinian''s eyes. Fu Sinian always kept his thoughts calm and rational, but now his mask of detachment cracked. Su Xiyu glanced at Xu Zijin and understood why Fu Sinian became so fierce. This poor woman quivered in Fu Sinian''s arms and looked pathetic, her bare skin covered with visible scratches and abrasions.


    Su Xiyu nodded and said, "Xu Zijin looks bad. We have to take her to the hospital."


    Fu Sinian stood up with Xu Zijin in his arms and strode out of the shack. Su Xiyu immediately followed him. Soon they disappeared into the darkness.


    ''They starved her, beat her black and blue, drugged her and attempted to rape her...''


    Su Xiyu carefully cleaned Xu Zijin''s wounds with a grave look on his face. He hadn''t expected that she would suffer so much in just a few days.


    "Fortunately, these wounds are only superficial. There is nothing seriously wrong physically. But her nerves have been constantly on edge these days. What''s more, she is undernourished. So she needs time to recuperate. Now we have to deal with the aphrodisiacs she has taken. It''s made from a secret recipe only found in the countryside, mainly for impelling livestock to breed. There isn''t enough time for me to compound the antidote. So... I''m afraid the only way to fight the problem is to satisfy her sexual desire."


    Fu Sinian clamped his lips tightly and looked at Xu Zijin with fixed eyes. At this moment, she had already lost all sense of reason and been completely consumed by the aphrodisiacs. Her face was stained with reddish hue, like beautiful ripe cherries, ready to be plucked.


    She bit her lips, writhing uncontrollably on the bed.


    Fu Sinian''s eyes darkened with complex emotions. He hesitated for a moment and walked towards her.


    Su Xiyu raised an unsurprising eyebrow, turned around and walked out. He was even considerate enough to close the door behind him.


    The aphrodisiac had driven her crazy. She had completely forgotten about everything and the only thought in her mind was to satisfy her desire. As soon as Fu Sinian reached her, she grabbed his hands, pulled him close and wrapped her arms around his neck.


    "I want... I want you..."Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    Xu Zijin was eagerly tearing at Fu Sinian''s clothes and writhing in his arms.


    Fu Sinian could no longer keep his desires. He threw his hands round her slender waist and pressed her down upon the bed.


    When he came into her, she let out a moan with an intensification of relief and consummation that was pure bliss to her. He took a deep breath and began to move.


    Outside the window, there was the light of the stars in the velvet dark. In the room, they were immersed in their own world, completely oblivious of reality. She yearned for the light of the sun, but always walked in the darkness. At this moment, he was the only light of her life.


    The next morning, the sun was high in the sky and a beam of amber light poured in through the window, bathing the room in warmth.


    Xu Zijin awoke from her nightmare in a cold sweat. Her entire body, especially her private parts, ached as if she had been run over by a train last night. Stunned, she turned pale and and started to shiver.


    She struggled to sit up and accidentally touched a man''s bare chest.


    "Ah!!" she screamed in horror.


    ''Was I raped by that man?'' At the thought of that, a strong sense of despair overwhelmed her. She bit her own hand hard, trembling like a leaf in the wind. Her snow-white teeth pierced and sank into her own delicate skin, and blood immediately started to ooze out. She perceived the metallic taste of blood and slowly let her teeth away from her flesh. She didn''t dare to think of what had happened to her last night, because the mere thought of that, sent her into the depths of humiliation and despair. It was like a brand engraving on her mind, reminding her that she was not pure anymore.


    ''Why am I still alive? Why? I want to die. Only death can bring salvation to me,'' she thought.


    Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Xu Zijin curled up in a tight ball, with her knees tucked up at her chin, and burst into loud sobs. Her wailing cries woke the man in bed. Fu Chen opened his eyes, as his face was weary beyond description.


    After Xu Zijin''s disappearance, Fu Sinian had searched the whole city for her and hadn''t slept for several days and nights. His body had reached its limit. When he had found her in the village, he had fallen into a painful self-blame for not having taken good care of her. For this reason, his resolve was shaken and Fu Chen seized the chance to take over his body. Otherwise, with his bigotry, Fu Sinian wouldn''t give Fu Chen a chance to see Xu Zijin again.


    At the sight of Xu Zijin crying sadly, Fu Chen was at a loss what to do because he had no experience of comforting a weeping woman. Every drop of her tears was like a knife, piercing his heart and leaving heartache with each cut.


    Xu Zijin tried to get out of the bed. She had no intention of escaping. She just wanted to find a place to end her life because she had no courage to carry on living. However, she felt weak and fragile, and accidentally rolled down from the bed.


    Lying on the floor, she had a dizzy spell. There were visible abrasions and love bites all over her naked body. The sunlight fell upon her and she looked like a fallen angel, beautiful and frail.

 C28. My Beloved Woman Calls Another Mans Name in My Arms

    Fu Chen''s heart skipped a beat. With a worried look, he quickly got out of the bed and wrapped Xu Zijin in a blanket.


    Xu Zijin was too frightened to control her emotions when she was pulled into his arms. She began to scream hysterically.


    "Get off me! Go away! Don''t touch me... Get away from me!! "


    Terrified, she struggled frantically, beating at his chest. Fu Chen didn''t stop her from hitting him. He held her tightly, rested his head on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, trying to comfort her, "Don''t be afraid, Zijing. It''s me."


    A familiar harsh voice echoed in her ear. Xu Zijin slowly put down her hands and stopped crying. "Fu... Fu Chen?" she whispered.


    "Yes, it''s me. I''m here." Fu Chen cupped her chin in the palm of his hand and gently wiped off the tears from her cheek. Her cries pierced his heart like a dagger. "I''m sorry I failed to protect you. But don''t worry. I arrived at the shack before they could do you real harm."


    A huge weight was taken off Xu Zijin''s chest at the sound of his words. She suddenly burst out crying again. ""It''s all your fault... Why did you come so late? Why couldn''t you come earlier? I was so scared... How I wished I could die with dignity at that time..."


    Fu Chen''s heart ached for her. He kissed her on the forehead and said decisively in a low voice, "I promise you that I will never leave you alone. It''s over and everything''s fine now. I''ll never let anyone hurt you again."


    She kept weeping, losing control. On the plane back to their city, she curled up in his arms like an insecure child seeking for his protection.


    What had happened to her in the village was the most horrendous experience of her life. She was now in a state of severe shock and trusted only Fu Chen who had saved her from the darkness and despair.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    Only he could give her a sense of security. So, on the way home she followed closely after him every place he went. If she had supernatural powers, she would transform herself into a pendant and hang around his neck.


    She had a lingering fear. The nightmarish memories of the village, gave her chills.


    She felt as though there was a monster hidden in the darkness, waiting in the wings to drag her into the abyss of suffering.


    She was a useless woman. She had been unable to escape the cruelties of destiny. She even couldn''t end her miserable life by death.


    These days she was tortured by nightmares. Only in his arms could she go to sleep peacefully.


    However, it was a torment to Fu Sinian.


    He couldn''t stop Fu Chen from taking over his body. Every time he woke up and saw Xu Zijin laying in his arms and wrapping her arms tightly around him as if he was her most trusted man, he felt as if a knife pierced through his heart.


    No man could bear to hear his beloved woman call another man''s name in his arms.


    Like a poisonous snake, jealousy gnawed at his heart. He almost wanted to kill Fu Chen, but his instinct kept telling him that he couldn''t do that. He even had to force himself to play the role of Fu Chen.


    Because Xu Zijin needed Fu Chen.


    She fell in love with Fu Chen who had never hurt her. Fu Sinian had always brought pain and suffering to her, so she no longer loved him.


    When the rising sun cast a golden glow over the city, Fu Sinian woke up from his sleep. He lowered his head and stared at the woman in his arms. She was sleeping soundly. A sharp pain shot through his heart. He knitted his brows, with his dark eyes full of malice and insidious feelings.


    Although he clasped his beloved woman in his arms, he felt an aching void in his heart.


    Fu Sinian tried his best to hold back his jealousy and anger, and gently laid Xu Zijin''s head on the pillow. Then he lifted the quilt, got out of bed and went to the study.


    There was a note on the writing desk. The writing on it was cramped but scrupulously neat. Obviously, it was written down by Fu Chen.


    As usual, Fu Chen told Fu Sinian what had happened between him and Xu Zijin by the note and reminded Fu Sinian what to do next. In order to take good care of Xu Zijin, Fu Chen took everything into consideration. He even showed great magnanimity towards his rival and told Fu Sinian everything about Xu Zijin.


    However, Fu Chen''s thoughtfulness was a great humiliation to Fu Sinian. Tormented by jealousy, he was no longer the lofty, omnipotent Fu Sinian of old days.


    Welcome to read next chapter She Wants Fu Chen Only</a> ahead.

 C29. She Wants Fu Chen Only

    Fu Sinian felt like a third party witnessing their love story. They devoted to each other and were openly affectionate. As for him, he only endured it in silence. However, no matter how hurt he was, he couldn''t bear to leave Xu Zijin.


    He had no choice but to witness helplessly as she gradually forgot him and fell in love with Fu Chen. His heartache was like a hungry beast eating his bleeding heart. It threatened to devour him, eat him whole and leave nothing but scraps behind.


    Suddenly, a sound of broken glass echoed in the study.


    In a gust of uncontrollable anger, he crumbled the glass in his fingers. The broken glass pierced into his palm and blood oozed out at once. He glared at the last line on the note, his eyes burning with envy.


    "Zijin said that she loved Fu Chen."


    Fu Sinian knew that Fu Chen was challenging his patience on purpose. But he couldn''t control himself anymore as the anger of being betrayed overwhelmed him.


    What made him angrier was Xu Zijin''s voice outside.


    When she woke up, she found that Fu Chen was not by her side. She was so scared that she immediately got up and walked out of the bedroom barefoot while calling out Fu Chen''s name.


    "Chen... Chen... Where are you? Chen..."


    ''Chen?! How can she call him Chen! When did they two become so close to each other?'' At the thought of that, his face clouded, as a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.


    Overwhelmed with rage, he was about to lose all his self-control. Just then, Xu Zijin, who had come to the door of the study, began to walk towards him.


    "Chen... Are you here?" Xu Zijin stretched out her hands and carefully felt her way forward. But she didn''t expect that her knees would hit the tea table. She hissed with pain.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Fu Sinian immediately came over and steadied her so as to protect her from falling down.


    Catching the familiar smell of Fu Chen, Xu Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.


    "Chen, you''re here. I was looking for you.


    Chen, are you getting tired of me because I''m clumsy-handed? Only now can I begin to apprehend the inconvenience of a blind person...


    Chen, the doctor told me that I could undergo a corneal transplant soon. I really want to see you soon...


    Chen, what''s wrong? Why don''t you speak?


    Chen..."


    ''Chen! Chen! Chen!! All she can think of is Fu Chen?!''


    As her soft voice echoed in his ears, Fu Sinian looked down at her and was annoyed by the big sunny smile on her beautiful face.


    ''Is Fu Chen the only thing she remembers now?


    In the past, she only smiled at me; she only showed her tenderness to me. She should belong to me!


    She pulled me out of the darkness again and again.


    My name Fu Sinian is a symbol of family hatred. I''m the child of the Fu family. I''m the only hope of the Fu family. I shouldn''t let my dead family down. I have always handled everything very well. But the family hatred is in fact an invisible heavy shackle which will bind me for the rest of my life, it seems. With it I can''t live freely.


    Only Xu Zijin treated me sincerely. She loved me with no thought for a reward.


    She wanted me only.


    Because of her, I haven''t become a slave of hatred. Every time I met her loving eyes, I felt a compulsion to run away. I felt like a despicable person conning an innocent girl.


    Finally, she stopped loving me and fell for another man, just as I had hoped. The anger of losing her turns into an invisible, hot flame kissing my soul every minute and every second.


    Every word she said to Fu Chen is like a steel needle pricking into my heart, leaving a sharp pain,'' he thought.


    Suddenly, a soft hand touched his face. The very next second, Xu Zijin asked with concern, "Chen, why don''t you speak? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Chen, please say something. I''m scared. Now I only have you..."


    Hearing this, the last brick that had kept Fu Sinian''s wall of strength standing high for so long was finally crushed. Jealousy and anger engulfed all his senses.


    ''She only has Fu Chen?! What about me? What do I mean to her? An enemy?'' he thought.


    His pent-up emotions burst out from within like flood water. He couldn''t hold it back anymore, so he pinched her delicate chin and started kissing her soft lips roughly.


    ''That''s enough! I don''t want to hear her mention another man,'' he yelled in his heart.

 C30. Trying to Commit Suicide

    Fu Sinian kissed her violently and aggressively. Xu Zijin was stunned, but soon she came back to herself and tried hard to push him away. She felt a wave of panic and wanted to run away.


    However, Fu Sinian had no intention of letting her go. The beast of desire hidden deep in his body slowly woke up and thirsted for her sweetness.


    The jealousy, which had been suppressed in the bottom of his heart for such a long time, surged forth in this moment. He lost control of his emotions and bit her lips rudely. Blood immediately started to ooze out.


    He could perceive the metallic taste of blood, but refused to let her go. He planted his lips tightly on hers and slid his tongue into her mouth. He felt the anger growing, bubbling up inside him. At this moment, he had a strong desire to destroy Xu Zijin and even himself.


    A strong fear surged up within her. Xu Zijin couldn''t help but tremble all over and began to struggle even harder.


    "No... Chen... Don''t do that..."


    ''Chen! All she cares about is Fu Chen...''


    Her words provoked him again. The flames of envy were raging and eating up his senses.


    He pushed her down on the sofa, pressed his body against hers and brutally tore at her nightdress.


    Soon her nightdress was ripped to shreds, revealing her white, ample bosom. Xu Zijin felt a chill creep over her chest, but the next second, he planted his warm lips on her naked chest and warmed her up.


    He held her closer with one arm and felt for her body with his free hand. Then, his fingers moved down and caressed the delicate, warm, secret skin of her hips...


    The horrifying memories of almost being raped in that remote village suddenly rushed into her mind. Xu Zijin lost control of herself and burst into tears.


    Fu Sinian stopped, as the violence of his anger was cut off by her tears.


    He slowly calmed down and looked down at the woman beneath him. Xu Zijin was weeping in grief and fear, looking pitiable. It felt like a basin of cold water had poured on his head, cooling down his raging jealousy.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    The regret started devouring his heart. He wanted to treat her well, but now he made her cry. He didn''t mean to hurt her, but he always caused her excruciating misery.


    Fu Sinian reached out and wanted to wipe the tears off her face. However, before his fingertips could touch her face, she shrank back in fear, her eyes full of panic and distrust.


    Fu Sinian clenched his fist and apologized, "I''m sorry."


    After saying that, he fled from the room with a guilty conscience.


    ...


    Fu Sinian sat at the bar drinking. He wanted to drink himself down, but what had happened this morning kept playing in his mind.


    Her tears and her cries were like an inescapable fishing net capturing him in its thrall. Once he closed his eyes, he would recall what he had done to her. The image of her crying sadly was carved in his heart, tormenting him every minute and every second.


    He knew that he hurt her again, but it was really not his original intention.


    Su Xiyu came as soon as he got the message from Fu Sinian''s secretary. When he arrived at the office, he saw Fu Sinian sitting huddled on the floor with lots of empty wine bottles around him, looking sad and dispirited. His clothes were crumpled and gave off an odour of the liquor; his handsome face clouded with disappointment; his eyelids drooped sadly.


    Su Xiyu sighed. In his mind, Fu Sinian was such a strong and powerful man who always had every situation well under his control. But now, he looked like a poor man in gloomy, downbeat mood.


    "Aunt Gu said you left in a hurry early this morning. Don''t tell me you''ve been drinking here all the day."


    Fu Sinian glanced at him and said with a casual air, "You are here."


    Just then, the secretary came in and said, "Mr. Fu, here are the sleeping pills you asked for." He paused and could not resist reminding, "The doctor said that you could only take two sleeping pills a day. If you take too many sleeping pills, it will do harm to your health."


    "Okay, I see." Fu Sinian waved his hand. The secretary obediently walked out.


    Fu Sinian staggered up, opened the bottle of sleeping pills and poured out some pills. Then he raised his hand and was about to put the pills into his mouth.


    "What are you doing?" Su Xiyu gripped Fu Sinian''s wrist and stopped him from taking the pills. At the sight of so many pills in the palm of Fu Sinian''s hand, Su Xiyu frowned.


    ''Does he take the sleeping pills just for a good sleep? No, he''s trying to commit suicide!'' Su Xiyu thought.


    Fu Sinian knitted his brows and shook off Su Xiyu''s restraining hand. "Let go of my hand. I just want to sleep for a while."


    He had no choice but to seek the help of the sleeping pills because he was not able to sleep at all.


    The wrinkles on Su Xiyu''s forehead deepened. "You have drunk too much wine. If you take these pills, your life will be in danger. Are you really going to kill yourself?" With that he snatched the wine bottle and the sleeping pills from Fu Sinian''s hands and asked, "What happened to you? You once did anything and everything to keep yourself from falling asleep so that Fu Chen wouldn''t take over your body. Now you want to sleep. Aren''t you afraid of him turning up?" Next chapter -> It''s Too Late</a>.

 C31. Its Too Late

    Fu Sinian leaned on the bar counter with his head slightly raised, his eyes full of sadness, loneliness and pathos. After hearing Su Xiyu''s words, he slowly twisted his lips into a bitter smile.


    "Believe it or not, I hope that he can replace me." Ironically, Fu Sinian hated Fu Chen to the point of frenzy, but now he could only rely on Fu Chen to help him.


    ''If Fu Chen can take over my body, he will certainly get along with Zijin. He won''t make her cry. What''s more, I can''t stand to see their affection for each other grow stronger day by day. I know clearly that her love for me is gone. It''s the biggest punishment to me. But these days Fu Chen seems to have no desire to take over my body,'' he thought.


    Su Xiyu couldn''t believe his ears. It seemed that Fu Sinian was no longer the man he used to be.


    In Su Xiyu''s impression, Fu Sinian was an extremely coldhearted man. He was cruel not only to his enemies, but also to himself.


    When he was a child, he suffered a devastating blow. His family was ruined and most of its members were dead. But he never once thought of escaping from reality or giving up his revenge.


    Even when he was abandoned in the orphanage and then was adopted by his enemy, he didn''t show any sign of weakness.


    To outsiders, he was a steel-willed, powerful man. However, he developed his secondary personality, Fu Chen, because of Xu Zijin. Now he even wanted to give up control of his body and hide behind Fu Chen''s personality.


    Su Xiyu looked at Fu Sinian with mixed feelings, and poured a glass of water for him. "Sinian, you really have to go to America for treatment."


    If he went on like this, he would go insane sooner or later.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Fu Sinian took a mouthful of water and sighed, "It''s too late."


    It was really too late. If he could give up on Xu Zijin, things wouldn''t have come to such a pass.


    He picked up his coat, turned around and left the office.


    When he walked out of the building, Fu Sinian met Mu Anan.


    Mu Anan looked pale and drawn because she had a hard time recently.


    At the sight of Fu Sinian, she felt like every fibre of her being was vibrating with excitement. She immediately rushed to him and said, "Sinian..."


    "Get out of my way!" Fu Sinian looked sharply at her, with cold expression on his face. His eyes were like two icy knives, preparing to cut her to pieces.


    Under his piercing gaze, Mu Anan stiffened. His eyes were burning with anger and hatred, which scared her. She clenched her fists and tried her best to calm herself down.


    "Don''t do this to me, Sinian. Please give me a chance to explain. I know you are angry with me because I had someone kidnap Xu Zijin. But I had no other choice.


    I have waited for you for so many years. At long last, you have succeeded in taking revenge on the Xu family, and now we can be together. But Xu Zijin stands between us trying to destroy our relationship. I trust you, but I''m afraid that you will feel pity for her and then fall for her. Anyway, she''s a scheming woman and good at conning others.


    Sinian, don''t forget that Xu Zijin is Xu Yuanshan''s beloved daughter. She''s one of the Xu family. Your father was forced by Xu Yuanshan to commit suicide. And he even set fire to the Fu''s mansion and burned the rest of the Fu family. Your father, my mother, and the elders of the Fu family. They all died distressingly with everlasting regret. Sinian, even if you feel sorry for Xu Zijin, you can''t be with her."


    Fu Sinian cast a cold, disgusted look at Mu Anan.


    "Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot that you are Xu Yuanshan''s daughter too."


    Mu Anan''s face turned pale all of a sudden. She looked up and met his cold, murderous eyes. Fear gripping her spine, as her body was frozen as if all the blood had stopped flowing.


    She forced a smile with her lips trembling, and said, "Sinian, you must be kidding. I have nothing to do with the Xu family..."


    "You are Xu Yuanshan''s own flesh and blood. It''s an immutable fact."


    Mu Anan was shivering all over. Next chapter -> She¡¯s Just A Substitute for Xu Zijin</a>.

 C32. She鈥檚 Just A Substitute for Xu Zijin

    Mu Anan understood what Fu Sinian meant. She had known him for so many years that she had a clear understanding of his strong hatred for the Xu family. Although she was Xu Yuanshan''s illegitimate daughter, Fu Sinian had never regarded her as a member of the Xu family.


    In the eyes of outsiders, Mu Anan was an orphan whose mother gave her life to save Fu Sinian''s mother, so Mu Anan had formed a deep friendship with Fu Sinian in childhood and was now his beloved.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

    It was completely dark when Fu Sinian returned to his apartment. As soon as he got home, he inquired of the servant about Xu Zijin''s condition. When he knew that she was in good spirits today and now she was asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    He stood at the door of the master bedroom for a while, then turned around and went to the guest room.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    In fact, Xu Zijin didn''t forget all that had happened in that remote village. As time went on, she remembered what she had done under the control of the aphrodisiacs.


    She recollected that Fu Chen had come in time and saved her from being raped, and afterwards, she had taken the initiative to seduce him and they two had made love.


    After that night, Fu Chen didn''t mention it. So she pretended to know nothing about it.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    However, she knew that their relationship had changed. Although she couldn''t say what the difference was, she had a feeling of certainty.


    It had never occurred to Xu Zijin that she would develop a close relationship with another man and even sleep with him. She once thought that she would be alone until death because she could no longer trust any man after being badly hurt by Fu Sinian.

 C35. How Can She Fall in Love with Someone Else?

    Xu Zijin paused for a moment, and then broke into a smile. Fu Sinian discerned some signs of irony on her white face.


    "He made my life a living hell, but you save me from the hell. You can''t be Fu Sinian. Chen, don''t joke around about something like that. I don''t like it."


    Fu Sinian got a lump in his throat, all sorts of feelings welling up in his heart as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you hate him?"


    "Hate? Of course I hate him. He killed my father and Aunt Liu. He destroyed my family. He even took the life of my baby. I hate him to the utmost degree. In fact, I once thrust a sharp knife into his chest and tried to kill him."You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

    However, Xu Zijin knew clearly that she wouldn''t forget Fu Sinian in her whole life not only because she was so deeply hurt by him that it might take forever for the wounds to heal, but also because he never loved her.


    Xu Zijin burst into self-mocking laughter and said, "I intended to hate him for the rest of my life, but I found that it was so tiring. He isn''t worth my love and I don''t want to get entangled with him for a whole life. Now, I don''t want to hate him or love him."

 C36. An Aching Void

    Xu Zijin found it very hard to pander to his lust in bed. She didn''t expect that he would be so crazy and rude in sex. When he began to move, she felt pain in the lower abdomen and almost thought that he was Fu Sinian.


    But soon she rejected this conjecture.


    Maybe it was because all men in the world had the brutish nature. No matter how gentle a man was in normal times, he would become a wild animal when he made love to his woman.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

 C37. Her Eyesight Is Restored

    Xu Zijin had tried numerous times to approach Fu Sinian, but he had pushed her away mercilessly. So she had no chance to sleep in his arms.


    Thinking of the past made Xu Zijin feel frustrated. She gave a bitter smile and shook her head. ''Now I''m Fu Chen''s woman. I shouldn''t think about another man,'' she thought.

    ''I can''t do that again. Fu Chen is a proud, dignified man. Even though he is very good to me, I shouldn''t act on my own will in front of him. I should consider his feelings,'' she thought.


    Xu Zijin suddenly felt guilty. She turned over and wrapped her arms around Fu Chen''s waist from behind. Welcome to read all of the chapters from the link in the novel description.
