"Liu Qi, do you want to die?"

Nangong Shu's voice was low and deep. His handsome face looked especially cold under the chandelier, and there was an unconcealable murderous intent in his pitch-black eyes.

His well-defined hands were holding the crystal vase, and it seemed like he was going to smack Liu Qi's head with it in the next second.

Liu Qi lay on the ground, and her ears were ringing. Her face was still burning because she had just been slapped by the man.

Her small stomach bumped into the corner of the sofa. The faint pain made it difficult for her to bear. Even her voice was trembling.

Liu Qi shook her head. "No... I didn't... no... I didn't..."

The butler stood aside carefully, glancing at Liu Qi secretly from time to time.

No one in the room dared to speak up for the young madam who had made a mistake. All the servants lowered their heads silently.

The chandelier in the living room was so bright that it dazzled her eyes. Liu Qi carefully raised her head, and thin beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, wetting her hair.

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing that the man did not speak, she tried her best to shake her head. She forced herself up and stammered, "I didn't. I didn't harm her. She asked me to go to her house. She said... she said she had something of yours for me."

This morning, Lu Xue called Liu Qi.

On the phone, Lu Xue said that she had decided to let go of Nangong Shu. She had something that belonged to Nangong Shu and said that she wanted to give it to her and wanted her to go get it..

Lu Xue was Nangong Shu's first love and also the subject of her jealousy.

She knew that Nangong Shu loved Lu Xue and knew that she could not compare to Lu Xue. When Lu Xue said that she wanted to let go, she admitted that she was happy.

However, she had no idea that Lu Xue was injured later on. She definitely did not have the courage to hurt Lu Xue.

"Ha, do you think I'll believe you just because you said you didn't?" The man's eyes were unusually cold, as if he was looking at a person who was about to die. This gaze made Liu Qi feel a chill down her spine.

"I really didn't... Nangong Shu I didn't..." Immediately after, Liu Qi felt a pain in her stomach. She clutched her lower abdomen, and her voice became as soft as a mosquito. "My stomach hurts... it hurts..."

"Hurt? Ha! Do you feel Xiao Xue's pain?" Nangong Shu sneered. Then, with a vicious gaze, he really smashed the vase toward Liu Qi.

Liu Qi subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it. A bruise immediately appeared on the back of her snow-white hand. The vase was blocked and it fell to the ground with a buzzing sound.

"No. I went today just to..." Liu Qi endured the pain and raised her chin to look at Nangong Shu. She wanted to explain, but she was frightened by Nangong Shu's gaze. She did not dare to explain.

She went to Lu Xue's house and did not get anything. Instead, she got ridiculed by Lu Xue and then got chased out.

Nangong Shu stared at the person on the ground and gnashed his teeth in hatred. His handsome face was distorted by anger.

He hated this delicate and pitiful woman and wished he could kill her right now. If Liu Qi's family were not rich, he would not even have married her.

Rumble...

The dull thunder outside the house broke the deadlock. Nangong Shu slowly exhaled and turned his back to Liu Qi. His voice was extremely cold. "Xiao Xue needs to rest. You, get out!"

"Wh... What?" Liu Qi shook her head with a tremble. Her mouth was so dry that she could not speak. Why, why...

"Don't make me say it again! Get out!"

"No... no! I didn't... I really didn't... trust me! Trust me..."

At this moment, the pain in her body could no longer compare to the coldness in Nangong Shu's words.

The man did not hesitate at all and went upstairs resolutely. He had already brought Lu Xue back, and she was upstairs now!

"Trust me... trust me! I beg you to trust me..."

Liu Qi supported her body with her hands and wanted to climb over to beg the man, but she was stopped by the butler.

"Young Madam, let me help you up." The butler said, and helped Liu Qi up from the ground. Rather than helping her up, he pulled her up forcefully.

"Nangong Shu! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" Liu Qi used the last of her strength to explain, but she looked so pale and powerless in front of everyone.

The butler looked at Liu Qi and said with some disdain, "Young Madam, Young Master asked you to go out, so don't make things difficult for us."

Just as she was being pushed out of the door, she heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

Liu Qi was stunned on the spot. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, like a withered tree. Her face was as pale as paper.

After a long time, she moved her feet with difficulty. They were as heavy as lead, and her staggered steps seemed to be unsteady in the howling wind.

In the three years of living in this house, this was not the first time Nangong Shu had chased her out.

She turned her head to look at the flower bed in the distance. There was a Volkswagen parked there. She did not know who the owner of the car was, but she could see it almost every time she was chased out.

When the car was not there, that man would always come. Every time, it was when she was humiliated.

He looked at her coldly without saying a word, as if... he was looking at a joke.

And tonight, this car appeared.

This meant... that man would not come to see her as a joke.

Heh, should she laugh? That no one saw her in such a sorry state?

At that time, a strong wind blew, causing Liu Qi to be on the verge of collapse. Even the heavens started to bully her.

Facing the torrential rain, Liu Qi walked forward aimlessly. She wiped away her tears. This time, she would no longer squat at the door and beg Nangong Shu to open the door for her like a dog.

Speaking of which, she was really a stray dog. Her parents died in a car accident, and her parents' assets fell on her head, so... she could only tightly hold onto Nangong Shu.

They had been married for three years... Nangong Shu had never touched her. At first, he said that her body was not good and kept giving her supplements.

But she was getting weaker and weaker.

She knew, she knew...so what Lu Xue said was true.

Liu Qi, oh, Liu Qi! Nangong Shu clearly would not give you more than one look in the past. Why did you think that he loved you and married you?

"I was wrong..."

Her voice was covered by the wind and rain; so much so that even she could not hear herself clearly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she felt the overwhelming darkness engulf everything in front of her. The figure that was as white as a pear flower fell to the side of the road in a sorry state.

Her fragile life was like a thin stream that was slowly disappearing from her body. It was like a piece of burning sandalwood incense that was constantly being blown by someone and quickly burned into ashes.

Vaguely, there was a piercing screech of brakes. Someone ran over. Liu Qi felt that someone was picking her up, and their movements were very careful.

A summer lotus fragrance filled her nose. She could feel that person trembling, and she could feel a few drops of warmth spreading on her cold cheeks.

The embrace was so warm that Liu Qi instinctively wanted to hide in it, but she did not even have the strength to raise her hand.

"Ah Qi! Don't be afraid. I'll bring you home. I'll never let you go again!"

It was Shen Nanxiao!

Liu Qi had previously thought that Shen Nanxiao was only here to make fun of her. He had always had an ice-cold expression and did not smile at her. Sometimes, he would even forcefully take her away. She had never heard Shen Nanxiao talk in such a nervous voice.

She really wanted to open her eyes and look at him again. However, her almond-shaped eyes opened and closed, but she could not see the face of the person in front of her clearly. Gradually, the painful feeling lightened, and her jade-white wrist fell straight down.

The man watched helplessly as that wisp of fresh life disappeared in his arms.

At this moment, the man who was holding Liu Qi in his arms in the storm became at a loss.

"No...don't! Don't! Ah! ! !" The trembling voice was now filled with extreme grief!
