Revenge Sevenfold

Seeing that resistance was futile, Hui Yin forced herself to say, "Let him go, and I\'ll come with you."

His temper was so volatile, it was like poking a raging lion. He might make the situation difficult for them, so it was better to act with caution. She pushed down her anger and obediently followed him to his car, resisting the urge to give a backward glance at Jiang Xu.

No matter what Lu Shen does to her, she could reset it all anyway. And maybe she could ask him about the culprit, as he definitely had a stack of information about the person he had been chasing for years. The sooner she caught him, the sooner she could get away...

With these kind of thoughts running in her mind, the two people got into the car, both ignoring the abandoned fiancée standing frozen on the park. And as soon as they drove away, the guards released Jiang Xu, whose eyes were overcast.

If only he had been stronger and more powerful, his Wifey wouldn\'t have to sacrifice herself for him. His lips pressed together, he left the park and headed back towards the company. He would definitely not let this same incident happen again!

...

Hui Yin tried to mask her surprise when she opened the car door and stepped out into the driveway.

They didn\'t come back to the villa Lu Shen lived before. Hui Yin glanced at the familiar colossal structure in front of her, with its iron gates, delicate marble fountain, and tall projecting porticoes.

It was the mansion she lived in when she married him in her past life.

Like it was only yesterday, Hui Yin could still remember Nian Zhen\'s sneer, and her cutting remarks as she barred her from entering the gates.

—Don\'t you know that trash are not allowed in our home?

"Xiao Yin."

Lu Shen\'s voice shattered the memories in her mind. Hui Yin blinked, and she saw that the mansion was newly built. It was not the same place that filled her with endless nightmares.

But she still didn\'t want to enter it.

"Let\'s talk in the conservatory."

Not waiting for his answer, Hui Yin led the way to the right side of the mansion. In her haste, she didn\'t notice Lu Shen\'s shocked expression. The sun room was where she spent most of her time in the mansion, and there were no bad memories there. Only moments of peace and silence, while she sat cross-legged on the sofa and embroidered her clothes to make it prettier.

There was an L-shaped sofa there, without the various potted plants Hui Yin had nurtured throughout the years. Right now, the sunroom was still bare and lifeless.

"How did you know there was a conservatory?" Lu Shen asked her, leaning against the doorway as if he was blocking her only escape route.

Hui Yin\'s heart jumped. How could she be so careless with her words?

"Don\'t mansions always have conservatories?" Not waiting for a reply, she hastily asked, "Why did you want me to come with you?"

Without changing his expression, he said bluntly, "I\'m going to break my engagement with Nian Zhen."

Hui Yin stared at him.

"So?"

Breaking your engagement or not, what does it have to do with me?

"So..." There was a hint of tension in his voice as Lu Shen slowly said, "I want you to become my fiancée again."

What...

Hui Yin thought she must have misheard him. What is this man saying? A scene suddenly emerged in her mind, of a woman complaining to a saleslady that the cabbage she bought had bruises. So she wanted to exchange it for a new cabbage. The saleslady nodded and said with a smile, "Don\'t worry, ma\'am. If you\'re not happy with one of our products, we\'ll replace it or provide a merchandise credit for the full amount of your purchase price. All our vegetables have a 10-day guarantee!"

Hui Yin fully sympathized with that cabbage. Apparently, she had a 10-day guarantee too...

"I can give you everything you want, and make sure you\'ll be living in luxury for the rest of your life. As long as you agree to be my wife, I promise to do my best to make you happy. I\'ll take care of you, and put you as my first priority above all else. Xiao Yin, I want you to marry me. Please marry me."

These words tumbled out of his mouth as if he was afraid he would hesitate and not say it, and in the end Lu Shen had walked forward until he knelt in front of her from where she was sitting on the sofa. His voice was even somewhat hoarse when he said the last sentence. Especially the word \'please\'...had he ever said that word to anyone before?

Hui Yin looked down at him and only felt the desire to laugh. The irony of it all! Luxury? He wanted to give her luxury? He didn\'t even give her a single penny in her past life! And he said she will be his first priority? What a joke!

Did he force her to come with him only to say these useless things?

His pair of dark eyes looked at her with nervousness. Lu Shen didn\'t know why, but at this moment a touch of fear had burrowed into his heart, and he took her hands to reassure himself that she was still beside him. But Hui Yin flung his hands away and stood up.

She regarded him with cold eyes, a faint smile on her lips.

"Lu Shen, I won\'t marry you in this life or the next. I won\'t be your wife, your fiancée, or the toy you can play with anytime you want. Didn\'t I tell you this before? Stay away from me."

She bit out each word slowly and carefully, watching as his face dimmed. She finally looked away when she couldn\'t bear to watch the swirling emotions in his eyes anymore.

"Whatever you think you\'re playing at, I don\'t want to be a part of it..."

"Stop it!"

Hands gripped Hui Yin\'s shoulders before his body tightly engulfed her into his embrace, almost to the point of crushing her skeleton. The words died in her throat, and Hui Yin panicked. But Lu Shen spoke before she could, and in his voice, she detected a slight tremor.

"Stop it, don\'t say anything anymore..."
