Chapter 551: Chapter 549: Even if I Die by Your Hand, I Have No Complaints

Hearing Yanxi call her an evil woman, Shi Ying couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and as she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.

“Yanxi, if I’m an evil woman, then you’re the fool. In this lifetime, Xia Yiwan will never forgive you again, no, not just this lifetime, but the next, and the one after that, she will never forgive you!”

Shi Ying’s words were like a venom-coated sword, ruthlessly stabbing into the depths of Yanxi’s heart.

It wasn’t just that Xia Yiwan wouldn’t forgive him; he couldn’t forgive himself either!

“You refuse to reveal the mastermind behind this? Fine, live a life worse than death!”

Yanxi clapped his hands, and his subordinates outside immediately came in with a syringe.

Yanxi took the syringe and grabbed Shi Ying’s arm forcefully.

Shi Ying tried to pull her arm back, but Yanxi was too strong; she just couldn’t break free.

“Yanxi, what are you trying to do?”

A cold and chilling expression appeared on Yanxi’s lean face, “Fight fire with fire! You made me addicted to smoking, didn’t you? Now, I’ll let you experience the feeling of being eaten away by thousands of insects and ants!”

Shi Ying’s pupils constricted sharply, and she shook her head continuously, “Yanxi, no, please don’t!”

But Yanxi seemed deaf to Shi Ying’s pleas, and he pierced her arm with the needle directly.

After injecting her, Yanxi clapped his hands again.

A ragged homeless man walked in.

Yanxi grabbed Shi Ying’s chin and forced a medicine pill into her mouth.

Realizing what Yanxi was about to do, Shi Ying’s complexion changed drastically.

“Yanxi, you can’t do this to me!”

It was as if Yanxi hadn’t heard Shi Ying’s words. He walked over to the homeless man, “Perform well, and perhaps you could leave behind your vagrant life!”

Before leaving, Yanxi dropped one more chilling sentence, “Just keep her alive!”

Hearing Yanxi’s words, a chill seeped through Shi Ying’s entire body.

Before the basement door closed, Shi Ying’s screams and roars filtered through.

Yanxi walked away expressionlessly.

In that moment, Shi Ying truly felt Yanxi’s cold-bloodedness and heartlessness!

Leaving the seaside villa, Yanxi drove toward Xia Yiwan’s company.

He parked the car in the parking lot and sat inside, staring blankly out of the car window.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally saw Xia Yiwan, who was coming to work.

Perhaps due to a restless night, Xia Yiwan’s complexion was a bit off, and her eyes were somewhat red and swollen.

Yanxi pushed open the car door, his voice hoarse as he called out, “Wanwan.”

Xia Yiwan’s steps towards the elevator paused slightly.

Seeing the lean figure not far away, her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly.

Yanxi quickly walked up to Xia Yiwan, a complex expression on his gaunt face, “Wanwan, can we talk?”

Xia Yiwan looked at Yanxi without speaking.

Yanxi did not miss the fleeting look of hatred and coldness in her almond eyes.

He remembered that after they were married, when she had feelings for him, her watery almond eyes were full of love and tenderness.

But now, he could no longer see such expressions.

A heavy and painful feeling settled in Yanxi’s heart.

“Wanwan, I’m sorry.”

Xia Yiwan scoffed, “Yanxi, don’t you think it’s too late for apologies, almost like they’re worthless?”

Yanxi pursed his lips, which had lost most of their color, and his peach blossom eyes reddened.

Seeing his expression, Xia Yiwan didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

She, Xia Yiwan, had done nothing to wrong him; his current state was all caused by Shi Ying, his own doing!

He was not worthy of her sympathy!

Yanxi saw Xia Yiwan staring intently at him, his peach blossom eyes flickering evasively.

Earlier, while sitting in the car waiting for her, he caught a glimpse of himself in the rearview mirror.

The once handsome face had grown so gaunt as to be unrecognizable, with sunken eye sockets, a ghost of his former self.

“Wanwan, don’t look at me like that, I look terrible now.”

Xia Yiwan withdrew her gaze from him, turned around, and prepared to leave.

But in the next second, her wrist was caught in Yanxi’s large palm.

Unprepared, Xia Yiwan was pulled into his embrace.

Her hands pressed against his chest, she could feel, even through the thin layer of shirt fabric, just how emaciated his chest beneath was.

Smelling his scent, Xia Yiwan felt not the slightest flutter of affection, only an overwhelming sense of nausea.

The more she had liked him in the past, the more she detested him now!

Her lovely eyebrows and eyes instantly darkened.

Yanxi held her slender waist tightly, his voice hoarse, “Wanwan, I know I was wrong, I will spend the rest of my life atoning for the mistakes I’ve made. Can you give me another chance?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t like her.

When he learned that her car had plunged into the raging river, he had been distressed for a long time.

If his mind had been completely clear, he could never have committed such a grave mistake!

Though Yanxi had grown thin, his strength remained considerable.

Xia Yiwan nearly exhausted all her strength just to push him away.

She raised her hand and smacked his face hard.

“Yanxi, don’t talk about giving you another chance–I wish you could die right now!”

Where did he get the audacity to ask her for another chance?

Was he unaware of how heartlessly and ruthlessly he had treated her back then?

During their marriage, he secretly dated Shi Ying behind her back, tormenting her repeatedly and unbearably.

When her father was wronged, he only believed Shi Ying’s words. Even when she knelt to plead with him, he still accused her of wrongdoing!

Each time she remembered these past events, her heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife!

Even if she were a ghost, she couldn’t possibly forgive him, let alone while she was still alive!

Yanxi’s peach blossom eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Xia Yiwan, his voice hoarse, “Wanwan, do you want me dead?”

Hearing his words, Xia Yiwan felt a bit amused, “Yanxi, just because I wish you were dead, does it mean you can die?”

She had thought for a long time the previous night; his drug addiction was already the greatest punishment for him.

From now on, she wouldn’t seek revenge against him. As long as they stayed out of each other’s way, that would be enough.

This was her greatest tolerance and concession!

A person like him, she wouldn’t even give him the chance to atone!

She hated him, but she hated herself even more!

How could she have fallen in love with a man like him?

After experiencing such heart-wrenching pain and gut-wrenching anguish, the Xia Yiwan who once loved him had long since died!

Yanxi, looking into the chilling coldness in the depths of Xia Yiwan’s eyes, trembled in his heart.

Suddenly, he pulled out a sharp dagger, guided Xia Yiwan’s hand to hold the hilt, with the blade’s sharp tip directed at his heart.

“Wanwan, I entrust my life to you. If it makes you feel any better, I have no complaints dying by your hand!”

Xia Yiwan’s eyes cold and reddened, glared at Yanxi, “Stop calling me Wanwan, we’re really not that close anymore.”

Xia Yiwan gripped the dagger’s hilt tightly, her fingers gradually applying more force.

To be honest, she really wished she could just plunge the knife into his heart.

But what would be the point afterward?

It would be the end of her life, too!
