Chapter 459: How Come It’s You?
Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress
After a long while, Yu Wuxia finally finished the steak. âNot bad, not bad. Delicious! But there wasnât enough,â he said with a satisfied smile.
Then, he got to his feet and smiled at Chu Qingchuan. âChuchu, Iâll come visit you in the evening.â
With that said, he took big strides out.
After Yu Wuxia left, Chu Qingchuan looked at the empty plate and wanted to cry but the tears didnât come. She was heartbroken.
Thereafter, she immediately instructed the maid to get the kitchen to make two more plates of steak.
After Chu Qingchuan drooled for fall an hour at the table, two plates of steak was finally placed on the table.
Chu Qingchuan immediately picked up her chopsticks to eat and only put down her chopsticks and let out a burp when she was so full.
She stretched, then spun around and headed to the back of the room to get some rest.
Within the ancestral hall.
Yu Wuxia stared right at Ling Yingxue with a cold look that filled his eyes.
Itâs about time to settle past grudges.
âWuxia, why have you been so cold to me in the past three years? Do you even love me? Wuxia, tell me, what am I doing wrong? Iâm willing to change for you. I beg you not to ignore me. Iâve really suffered these past three years! Wuxia, letâs go back to how things were before. Please?â Said Ling Yingxue with watery eyes.
Wuxia narrowed his eyes, then reached his hand out to remove his gold mask.
All of a sudden, Ling Yingxueâs face turned pale white with immense shock. âYu... Yu Wuhen, how come itâs you?â
Yu Wuhen had a handsome face with prominent features; slanted eyebrows, deep and slender eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips that curved upward. He looked flirtatious and carefree. However, he had a scar that stretched from the right of his forehead to his left cheek, which ruined his natural good looks and scared people.
Yu Wuhen suppressed the anger in his heart and flatly said, âLing Yingxue, arenât you disappointed that you didnât kill me three years ago?â
âWh... what are you saying? How come I donât understand?â Ling Yingxueâs face looked dumbfounded and her entire body trembled gently.
âSince you donât remember what happened, Iâll remind you. Thirteen years ago, your father went insane from his training and killed my parents. However, your father also ended up dead from a fatal injury. Afterward, you went to find my brother and cried about how my parents were killed by unknown assassins. When my brother heard that your dad was also killed, he didnât suspect anything. In fact, he cared about you more, and he even married you. Ten years later, I went back to the scene of the crime and happened to come across the truth. I returned to question you but your lips were sealed and didnât admit it. At night, you sent assassins to get rid of me when all of a sudden, my older brother turned up last minute and took the blow. Thatâs how I was able to escape.â
Yu Wuhen took a deep breath and tightly clenched his fists with a faint tint of red in his eyes. âLing Yingxue, you evil person. I should have killed you three years ago but my brother loved you for ten whole years. He loved you with every fiber in his body and didnât want you to die. He actually asked me to take good care of you. He said that you only did the wrong thing because you momentarily lost your way. He even said that your father was in a difficult position. Youâve only been able to live a peaceful life because of my brotherâs last wishes.â
Ling Yingxueâs eyes became even redder, as she glared directly at Yu Wuhen. âNo, I didnât do it. I didnât order people to kill you. Youâve misunderstood me,â she insisted.
Yu Wuxia scoffed. âIf you donât want anyone to know, then you shouldnât have done it. Ling Yingxue, or perhaps I should call you, âcousinâ. From now on, youâll stay in the ancestral hall and think about all the wrong things youâve done in the past. Donât worry. I wonât kill you because this was my brotherâs last wish.â
With that said, he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.
âNo! No! Let me out! Let me out!â Wailed Ling Yingxue, as she leaned up against the big, tall door.
But after screaming for a long time without anyone coming to the door, she eventually slumped to the ground, defeated.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWuxia, Iâm sorry! I didnât do it on purpose. Iâm sorry! I was afraid that you wouldnât love me if you knew the truth! Wahhhh wahhh...â
