My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 834 Clearly, It’s Love
"Ling Xiu, to put it bluntly, today everything that happened is your own fault, the result of your own actions. It’s because of you that she had no choice but to leave. If only you had treated her better, not hurt her, not hit her, she would have never made such a resolute decision," Ye Lu said to him without any politeness.
Qingchi had been twisted by him, and to continue living under his shadow, she would either become a puppet or go insane.
She never regretted asking Ling Kong to help take Qingchi away, and what she couldn’t do herself, she also hoped Qingchi could achieve: to truly free herself from these men.
"I’m the one who’s gone crazy!" Ling Xiu clutched his head tightly, his voice full of extreme regret and pain, "I shouldn’t have treated her that way. I shouldn’t have humiliated her, I should have never hit her. I’m crazy, I’m just a fucking lunatic."
Ye Lu saw how much pain he was in, to the point of hysteria, and she was very puzzled.
"Ling Xiu, could it be that you’ve fallen in love with Qingchi?"
She felt that Ling Xiu’s attitude toward Qingchi was very strange, as if he cared a lot and had feelings for Qingchi, but it also seemed like an extreme desire for possession and control.
If it was love, why could he humiliate the woman he loved so much, desperately making her suffer?
Yet if it wasn’t love, why was he now so crazily scouring the world to find her?
"..." Ling Xiu’s body shook, and for a long time, he couldn’t utter a word.
"What, you don’t even dare to admit that? Then what right do you have to look for her? Are you trying to find her just to control her again, to bully her mercilessly like before?" Ye Lu said angrily.
Ling Xiu was shaken again, his voice tragic.
"Yes, I love her! I’m crazy in love with her in my heart, I can’t control my own will."
But he never dared admit it because once he did, he felt like he had lost.
A girl that he had endlessly bullied and humiliated, such a lowly existence, the very one he had despised, now he couldn’t help but fall in love with her, which felt both ironic and unacceptable.
Unwilling to admit that he was attracted to her, he desperately wanted to be close to her.
"If you love her, why did you treat her like that, humiliate her, torment her? Don’t you know how much pain she would feel inside? Why can you men just naturally go around hurting people?" Ye Lu grew even angrier.
It was clearly love, yet why insist on hurting her? Such harm was even more painful than not being loved at all.
She had deeply experienced that pain, and it was a pain that pierced the heart to the bone.
Ling Xiu’s gaze was lost, his demeanor as helpless as a child: "Because, if I didn’t do that, she wouldn’t see me. She was always so kind to everyone, since we were little, so many boys liked her, but she was afraid of me. Whenever she was with me, she always kept silent, as if she just wanted to run away immediately."
Ye Lu was astonished; it seemed Qingchi’s fear of Ling Xiu had been ingrained in her since childhood.
"But I got hold of her, I saved her life, and then she belonged to me, didn’t she? Yet why did she still smile at other boys, she is mine, I hate her feeling good about other boys. Why doesn’t she like me, why does she want to be with someone else, I hate her!"
Ling Xiu’s low voice was filled with repressed pain.
"She’s just a maid’s daughter, how dare she look down on me? I want to let her know that I can make her very happy, but also very miserable. I can control her fate, do whatever I want to her. Since she’s afraid of me, I’ll make her even more afraid, afraid to the point that she can’t ignore me, so afraid that she must rely on me to survive. I am her master, she is just a slave, she must listen to me."
When he saw her being nice to other boys, he couldn’t suppress his jealousy and anger, and he would take the opportunity to humiliate her, to trample on her.
