When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 734: A Good Horse Doesn’t Graze Old Pastures (4)
Jiayu looked incredulously at the man in front of her. If she had just felt pity and sympathy for Xin Ke, now that pity and sympathy had all turned into anger.
What does he take her for?
What does he take marriage for?
The gentle eyes Jiayu always had when looking at Xin Ke now became sharp, so cold.
"Xin Ke, do you know what you’re saying? It was you who insisted on divorcing me and marrying Su Wan, and now you’re telling me you want to divorce her and be with me? Do you think my life should revolve around you? Do you think that after being covered in wounds, just one word from you to come back, and I’d happily run back to your side? What do you take me for?"
Jiayu furrowed her brows and, taking advantage of Xin Ke’s daze, harshly pulled her hand back.
Her hand smacked against the corner of the table beside her, causing intense pain, but she didn’t care. She never realized the man she once loved so dearly could be so self-righteous.
She never knew the man she once loved could treat marriage like a game.
Jiayu stepped back two paces, not recognizing this Xin Ke at all.
In the past, he had hurt her deeply because of Su Wan, but that was only because he didn’t love her. Love cannot be forced, she understood, but at least she felt she hadn’t loved the wrong person. At least Xin Ke was someone worth loving; it was just that he didn’t love her back.
Her tragedy was never loving the wrong person, just loving someone who didn’t love her back.
But now, she seemed to need to reevaluate this thought she always had.
"Jiayu, I know you still love me. I know you like me. I can divorce; I really can. Come back, come back to me. In the past, I wronged you. I’ll be good to you in the future. I..."
Xin Ke had already stood up, reaching out to grab Jiayu. Jiayu felt disgusted, as if avoiding some flood or fierce beast, stepping back.
Just as Xin Ke’s hand was about to grab her arm, a large hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbing Xin Ke’s wrist. The person’s hand was distinct with veins bulging, evidently using full force, causing Xin Ke to grimace in pain.
Jiayu stared blankly at the owner of the hand, a handsome side profile, icy eyes, and tightly pursed thin lips.
"Mu Ke..."
Jiayu moved her lips, but Mu Ke didn’t look at her. He just fiercely flung Xin Ke’s hand away, his tone extremely cold: "Trying to steal from me, what do you think you are?"
Li Chengda had been standing nearby, and seeing this person suddenly appear, he immediately came over: "Who are you? Their marital affairs, what does it have to do with you..."
He had always been protective of Xin Ke, but before he finished speaking, he met Mu Ke’s cold glare and immediately shut his mouth.
This Mu Ke was someone Jiayu had never seen before. An aura of bone-chilling coldness seemed to emanate from him, as if if someone said another word, the next second, his scalpel could fly straight into that person’s heart.
This Mu Ke was terrifying, frightening, completely different from the man who would gently make her breakfast.
Jiayu dared not make a sound for a moment. Mu Ke’s gaze paused on Li Chengda for a second, then returned to Jiayu. She could clearly see the anger in his eyes.
The man’s cold hand extended, gripping hers, and he turned, striding out with her in tow.
