How Could You Let Me Down?
How Could You Let Me Down?
"I have no other choice. Other than taking you right now, there isn't anything else I want." Without giving her a chance to retaliate, he kissed her rosy lips.
"Mmm… Mmm!" Xuxu struggled, her mouth making muffled protests
This jerk! Devil!
She kept hitting his back with her fists.
Yan Rusheng ignored her protests and carried on doing as he pleased.
But he didn't stop there. The moment they arrived home, he got to work once more by 'tormenting' Xuxu until she could barely open her eyes. Only then did he cease.
The harder he tried, the more defensive Xuxu became.
After Yan Rusheng left to take a shower, her eyelids slowly fluttered open. She climbed out of bed and wobbled to the sofa to grab her bag. She rummaged for a box of unopened medicine and swallowed it quickly.
"Stupid woman, your stamina is so horrible. You'll have to start working out day and night from now on."
Yan Rusheng came out of the bathroom just when Xuxu had finished taking her medicine. She quickly stuffed the box back into her bag and swung around to face him. She put on her usual aloof expression to conceal her guilt and fear. "You're really sick."
She slung the bag across her shoulder and strode towards the door.
Yan Rusheng grabbed her. "What do you think you're doing?"
Xuxu replied coldly, "Taking a shower and then sleeping in my room."
Yan Rusheng raised his brow and anger flickered in his eyes. "This is our room. Which room are you going to?"
He had already acknowledged his mistake, but she still insisted on throwing a tantrum. What did she want exactly?
"I'm going back to my own room." Xuxu looked askance at him and tried to leave once more.
"I guess we can continue since you still have the strength to argue with me." Yan Rusheng didn't bother retorting and lifted her up instead. He threw her on the bed and immediately pressed down on her tiny body with his entire weight.
He looked at her intently, his eyes piercing through her. Xuxu tried to struggle and break free, but he caught her hands. He spoke gently, "I've already admitted my mistake. What else do you want? Hm?"
Xuxu refused to look at him. "You're not in the wrong, so there's no need to apologize to me."
She knew that he was referring to that night when he'd taken her against her will. He must have realized that he'd gone overboard, but he didn't realize what he did that hurt her the most.
If he didn't know, then admitting his mistake wouldn't mean anything.
She had only one thought—to bind them together until death!
"That day I went to the orphanage and saw you with Jiang Zhuoheng…" Yan Rusheng stopped halfway and seemed to have lost his tongue.
Xuxu was startled by his confession, and she gazed at his blushing face. "You went there?"
She had only gone to the orphanage with Jiang Zhuoheng once so she could recall it instantly. It was that fateful night when he had banished her to the depths of suffering once more.
But she'd never once thought that he actually went to the orphanage.
"Didn't I promise to go with you on Saturday?" Yan Rusheng chided her with displeasure. Then he carried on with a hint of childishness. "But I didn't think that you were planning a rendezvous with your old lover. How could you let me down like that?"
His jealousy erupted like a volcano once more at the mere thought of that scene.
Xuxu frowned, utterly bewildered. "Why?"
She didn't understand him. Didn't they get married just to fulfill Grandmother's final wish? Then why should he uphold a casual promise?
Yan Rusheng was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Xuxu shook her head. "Nothing."
He'd taken her by force because he saw her with Jiang Zhuoheng. He was her legal husband, and he must've felt that they had trampled on his pride. That's why he decided to punish her.
