Chapter 189 -189: Don’t Repay Kindness with Love
The tension flowed silently through the living room.
Yet, Lu Xining couldn’t hold back and turned her face away, laughing unabashedly.
“Ji Muye, save your overbearing CEO quotes for other women, they don’t work on me.”
Her laughter warmed the room, breaking the stifling atmosphere.
Ji Muye’s gaze darkened as he watched her genuinely smile.
Her laughter was real, her nonchalance was real too.
Perhaps it was because he had just spoken in a stern, overbearing CEO manner that Lu Xining couldn’t stop laughing.
Unlike her increasingly lucid awareness and reaction, Ji Muye was becoming more and more restrained, his gaze never leaving her.
The autumn chill was dispelled by the warmth within the house.
Ji Muye, with his hands on the arms of the armchair, trapped her in the middle, causing Lu Xining’s face to change abruptly.
He chuckled softly, “Mocking me?”
She shrank into the armchair, facing the cold and distinguished man opposite her, watching as he leaned in closer, Lu Xining pushed her foot against his chest.
Her gaze slid to a specific spot, suggesting, “I don’t think if this happens again, you’ll have the chance to stand up afterward.”
“…”
“I’m telling you for the last time, we really have no chance.”
She was about to push him away when Ji Muye looked down and said, “Have you never wondered why, when I saw you and Song Henian come out of the same room, I didn’t question you?”
He continued intently, “Why do you think, as a man, I’d rather wear the green hat than divorce you?”
“You want to say it’s because of love?”
“…”
Lu Xining scoffed lightly, “Then do you know what the greatest charm of a man is? It’s his ability to solve problems.”
“Why didn’t you question me the first time you saw the video? Doubt means conviction, haven’t you already convicted me in your heart?”
The atmosphere between them became tense again.
Lu Xining wasn’t in a hurry to leave anymore.
She continued, “I don’t like clinging to something that happened five years ago, but you keep bringing it up. Basically, you just feel like you’ve been cuckolded but still want to live with me, thinking not asking for a divorce makes you noble?”
Ji Muye pursed his lips, “I didn’t.”
“Fine, you didn’t. But when I asked you what exactly is your relationship with Liu Xixi, and why you keep helping her, what was your response?”
Lu Xining’s face turned cold, “You didn’t answer.”
If it had been just one or two instances of help, she wouldn’t have minded so much.
It was Ji Muye’s indulgence that allowed Liu Xixi to continuously provoke her.
If he had warned Liu Xixi even once in her presence, Liu Xixi wouldn’t dare to create such drama in front of his wife.
She curled the corner of her mouth, leaning closer to him, “Besides Su Ting, does anyone else know that I, Lu Xining, am your wife, Ji Muye?”
Their eyes locked, his filled with her reflection, “Those years were crucial for Shi’an’s development, I had too many enemies…”
Lu Xining tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Yes, that’s why you sent so many bodyguards to protect her. You guided her into the entertainment circle, stepping on my face, giving her so many privileges, summarizing it with a word of gratitude. I am truly moved by President Ji’s sense of gratitude towards his benefactor.”
“I gave birth to two sons for you, almost losing my life. Why couldn’t you be good to me? Ji Muye, if you had even attended a single social event with me, those five years wouldn’t have been so exhausting.”
The news of their marriage had been officially released by Shi’an Group, everyone in the circle knew Ji Muye was married.
But he kept appearing beside another woman, giving her support and privileges; he was undoubtedly stepping on her face and grinding it into the ground!

She couldn’t bear to think about it, thinking about it made her want to hit him even more.
Those who didn’t know Lu Xining might see her not explaining the hotel incident with Song Henian, while mocking Ji Muye and Liu Xixi’s affair, and surely think she was being too hypocritical.
Thinking Ji Muye was clean and merely helping Liu Xixi out of gratitude, while she was too cold by holding onto it.
But what about those five years of a hidden marriage?
Was she just unlucky!
In Lu Xining’s view, how could two people who truly love each other watch indifferently as one guards another woman?
Favors should be repaid with life, not with emotions!
Because that would not only make love seem too superficial, but it would also cheapen favors.
Whether her principles were misguided or extreme,
that was simply her nature.
“I need to remind you that I had no idea Song Henian would appear at the hotel, and I was even more clueless about why he left the room right after me, no matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same!”
“As for you… Liu Xixi was just a catalyst. What truly made it unbearable for me was your indifference, that in marriage equates to emotional abuse!”
As she spoke, Lu Xining’s eyes reddened and warmed.
“Do you know why I was at that hotel? Because Jiang Wanqing’s life was counting down, and that room held special significance for her.”
“I went to visit a friend who was about to pass away; I tried to save her with my medical skills but failed. Is that reason enough?”
Ji Muye wanted to embrace her but dared not move.
Within mere minutes, the misty smile in her eyes had turned into tears, her fair skin flushed with anger.
Ji Muye slowly sank down, kneeling on one knee at the edge of the couch.
Without touching her, his forehead rested against the back of the couch, making it look from behind as though he was enveloping her in his embrace, yet his body hadn’t even touched the hem of her dress.
Even after clearing up that there was no emotional entanglement between her and Song Henian, Ji Muye didn’t feel the relief he had imagined, he even felt suffocated.
They were too close.
Their scents mingled in their breaths.
Despite Lu Xining appearing sober now, she once drowned in the brief tenderness Ji Muye offered, letting her reason run away from home.
“You probably forgot, in the beginning, you used to call me Xixi just like Grandfather did, but after Liu Xixi appeared, you called me either Ningning or Xining.”
“Ji Muye, have you ever truly seen your own heart?”
Lu Xining pushed him, and his tall frame was gently pushed away by her, powerlessly and heartbreakingly falling onto the carpet.
His response this time was quick and firm.
“I have never liked Liu Xixi, without a doubt!”
“… Really?”
A two-word retort from Lu Xining.
It twisted Ji Muye’s heart completely, his hands clenched into fists.
He looked up, “You don’t believe me?”
“Whether I believe isn’t important, I only ask that you no longer intervene excessively in my emotional life, whether it’s Song Henian, Zhou Jiawang, or any other man, who I want to be with is my freedom.”
“You and me, it’s over now.”
“If you ever had even the slightest affection for me, please manage your emotions and don’t make it hard for Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze.”
Ji Muye, who had always had a smooth-sailing life and was seen as a superior by everyone, only Lu Xining dared to speak to him so rudely.
Yet he was helpless.
This time, he didn’t stop Lu Xining.
The driver outside the seaside villa was also perceptive, as soon as he saw Lu Xining come out alone, he immediately came over and said, “Miss Lu, President Ji asked me to take you back to Jingzhou No. 1.”
The black Maybach was parked in the villa’s courtyard, and the driver opened the door of a relatively low-profile new car.
Taxis couldn’t enter the seaside villa, nor could anyone who wasn’t an owner.
Lu Xining thought about it but ultimately got into the back seat.
The driver didn’t say a word, quietly driving Lu Xining back to the Jingzhou No. 1 villa area, waiting until she entered her home before driving back to the seaside villa to wait for further instructions from Ji Muye inside.
In the quiet living room, Ji Muye sat on the carpet, leaning back against the single sofa Lu Xining had sat on, his right side littered with various bottles of alcohol.
The shirt collar, without a tie, had two buttons undone, its distinguished and aloof demeanor tinted with the melancholy of the night.
Why couldn’t they get back together…
