Chapter 84: She Was Sold
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sound of a door closing came from the doorway. She was alone in the room at the moment. She glanced at her surroundings and worked hard to hug herself tight. It was only her in the room, and she felt strangely afraid.
Time passed as seconds turned into minutes. She remained at the same position as her eyes constantly looking at the door, hoping he would come back soon.
The door opened and closed again. She stood up, and one could easily see her surprise. Was he back?
A man walked in, but he was not the Chu Lui she was familiar with. It was a stranger. The man looked sophisticated and handsome. He was wearing a suit which fitted his tall and sturdy frame perfectly. He was about the same height as Chu Lui, with profound features and a pair of dark-blue eyes which was so unlike those of an Asian’s. His nose was straight, and his lips were slightly pale, with a faint fickleness.
“Who are you?” Xia Ruoxin’s hands were at her side, and she raised them. No one could accept a strange man showing up in their room.
The man continued to stand at the doorway and leaned his back against the door. He eyed Xia Ruoxin with a forced smile as she tried to keep herself calm. This was interesting.
“Mrs. Chu, didn’t Chu Lui tell you who I am?” He walked closer with both his hands in his pants’ pockets. Like a graceful panther, he took his time to move closer to his prey. Then, he would bite and tear off the skin and bones. Not leaving anything on the corpse.
The moment she heard Chu Lui’s name, Xia Ruoxin cowered violently. Did he know Chu Lui?
“Ha...” The man laughed abruptly. “It seems like he didn’t tell you about our game, woman.”
The man strode closer and stood directly in front of Xia Ruoxin. She looked up numbly with pale-white lips as she started to tremble.
Game? What game?
“I have no idea what you are talking about. If you knew my husband, then you should know that I am his wife. He will be back.” She gripped her hands tightly and forced herself to be calm. She felt vaguely unsettled, and that pierced her heart.
The man gave her a faint smile which could have charming, but in Xia Ruoxin’s opinion, it made him look like a devil. Sharp, piercing pain rattled through her.
The man looked at her face in a toying manner. His blue eyes deepened slightly. “I’m sure you knew about the problem in his company. Didn’t he tell you anything?”
The man’s thin lips curled into a smile. Xia Ruoxin turned paler as she saw his mouth opened and closed.
“You don’t seriously think that he’ll be back? I told you. This is a game, and the door is over there. I won’t force you, and you may leave.” The man finished talking and sat on the huge bed, leisurely crossing his legs.
He remained unpredictable with his slightly narrowed eyes.
Xia Ruoxin took a deep breath and walked towards the door. True to his word, the man did not attempt to stop her. As she put her hand on the doorknob, he abruptly started talking.
“Woman, you should know. If you choose to walk out of here, out of the door, then... the consequence will be the price of your husband’s company.”
