Mingshen's gaze darkened. "Who is this kid? Who allowed you to come inside?"

  Bobo looked at him in disdain. "Because Lihua is here. Nobody can stop me from meeting Lihua!"

  "Brat, this is my lab," he coldly said.

  "Brat, she is my Lihua," Bobo retorted in an equally cold voice.

  Calling a full grown adult a brat…


  Mingshen dangerously chuckled. "Good, good. You would prove a good research subject, kid. Annoying brats like you have a special place in my lab.".

  Bobo was horrified. His cheeks puffed up like two cute balloons. "How dare you talk to a child like that? Research subject? You gonna cut me up? You are a mad doctor!"

  "Tell me something new."

  "You……you will repent one day for bullying me like this! If my sis Jia had been here, she would have beaten you up for bullying her Bobo!" His nostrils flared.

  Mingshen raised his brow.

  A spar with Spicy……I already had one, but I would be glad to challenge her again~

  Jia's mention brought silence in the room. Lihua clenched her fists and her eyes couldn't help but tear up again.

  If she would have been here…


  Now, she could only imagine Jia's presence in her life. What would Jia do in this situation? What would have she done if it was that?

  Life would have been so colorful with her, but now everything was reduced to 'if she would have been here…'

  The thought made her shiver, she hugged Bobo as she burst into tears.

  Wei hurriedly took a step forward, but Bobo threw a dirty glare at him.

  Don't come near her! You have already hurt her enough!

  He froze in his steps, his hand hanging in the air.

  Mingshen walked away. "I will head outside. Your whole family has camped outside my lab…" he gritted his teeth.

  The whole peace in my lab is disrupted…Damn Jiang family!

  The atmosphere was stagnant. Wei was desperately thinking hard of how to stop Lihua from leaving him. But nothing came to his mind. Against a life that he ended with his own hands, he couldn't think of anything that could bring Lihua back to how she was.

  "Leave Wei…" she tiredly said. "Leave already."

  Wei blankly stared at her. "I……I don't want to leave your side Lihua. I will be here with you," his heart raced.

  Silence.

  Lihua slowly lifted her gaze. "Alright then," she quietly said, "I will leave from here."

  She got out of the bed but stumbled as soon as she landed on her feet.

  "Lihua!" Bobo tried to hold her, but Wei was lightning fast and he swiftly held her in his arms.

  Lihua stiffened. She stood rooted, feeling the warmth of his embrace. His scent made her lips tremble and thinking how she would never be able to feel this warmth again twisted her heart in agony.

  Everything had ended for them.

  "Lihua! D-Don't move!" He anxiously said.

  Lihua harshly pushed him away. "I said not to touch me anymore…"

  He froze.

  "Lihua…… please…… please don't say such things."

  "If you won't leave, then I will," she coldly said.

  The harsh iciness in her voice shook him hard. Until yesterday, she would always show him her brightest smile and cheerfully hopped around him. Her sweet laughter was the biggest source of joy for him. But now, the love in her eyes had disappeared. The smile on her lips had vanished.

  All because Wei betrayed her.

  Bobo put his hands on his waist and secretly glared at him.

  Do you want Lihua to leave from here when she is sick!? You are really evil!

  Wei trembled. He lowered his gaze and there was a painful smile on his lips. "……You should rest here. Please don't go," he curled his fingers, "I will leave…"

  Wei slowly turned and with a heavy heart, he left the room.

  As if losing all her strength, Lihua's knees gave away and she collapsed on the bed.

  It was hard. Pushing Wei away felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Talking so coldly to him felt as if she was being strangled. The pain that flickered in his eyes when he left made her feel crushed.

  "Lihua…" Bobo started to cry seeing her so heartbroken. His small fingers held onto her hand.

  "You still like the rich, evil capitalist."

  It wasn't a question.

  She quivered and bit her lip hard. "I…" she broke down, "I want to hate him, Bobo……I want to hate him……he has betrayed me. He snatched my sister away. But when he held me, I had an urge to hug him so badly. It felt so warm like always."

  She sadly laughed. "It's hard. I thought that it would be so easy to hate him," her eyes were devoid of emotion.

  "I remember how easy it was to fall in love with Wei. But now I realize that it's so difficult to fall out of it. Bobo. Wi-will I ever be able to forget him?"

  She emptily stared ahead and mumbled. "No. I don't have a choice……I……I have to forget him. No matter how painful it is, I have to forget him. There is no future between us. Wei killed my sister. I cannot live with him anymore…"

  She touched her belly and felt the life inside her.

  Her heart felt like a barren land. Her life had flipped in an instant, and all the happiness had turned into lifelong sorrow.

  Bobo wrapped her waist in his small arms and patted her. "Don't worry. Your future husband here will make you forget that rich, evil capitalist!" He declared to cheer her up.

  A faint smile curved her lips. The usual light in her smile had already faded away——

  A long time later, Wei heard that Lihua wanted to meet him. He couldn't believe his ears and ran to her side immediately.

  Lihua wants to meet me……

  "Lihua!"

  He eagerly rushed inside. "Lihua, I am here," his heart was racing in anticipation. He prayed that she changed her mind.

  Lihua didn't spare him a glance. He was standing beside her, but she didn't lift her head to look at him.

  She parted her lips and slowly said, "Wei. Let's divorce."
