Chapter 125 The Spilt Milk

Bai Xueli was very satisfied with the photos in which Shangguan Mo and she slept embracing each other and his arm was around her waist. Everything was in harmony, especially the red marks all over her body made by herself.

Bai Xueli typed in a phone number and sent all those photos. Then she faked an apologetic voice, "Ms. Fang, thank you. Here is a check for you and you need to hide somewhere else as promised before. Mo can find out the cellphone is yours, so I'm afraid that he will hurt you then." Bai Xueli wrote Ms. Fang a check for 5 million yuan and seemed to be reluctant to part with her.

Ms. Fang's eyes became red. "What about you then, Miss?"

"Don't worry. I'm his sister, so he won't hurt me. Go now. Someone will pick you up outside the door and he will arrange everything for you." Shangguan Mo wouldn’t blame Bai Xueli because she would play a role as the victim. She was amused that Ms. Fang would be the one responsible for this.

Holding the check, Ms. Fang nodded and left after having a few glances at Bai Xueli. Then Bai Xueli revealed a vicious look.

Bai Xueli undressed herself again and made a mess in the room. Then she went into the bed and pressed her smooth skin against Shangguan Mo. She felt very content at this moment and wished it could last forever. Fascinated by the man next to her, she did not realize that she gradually went to extremes.

At the same time, Ms. Fang went out and found a black car parked nearby. She went over there and asked cautiously after looking around to make sure no one was around, "Does Miss arrange this?"

The man in the driver's seat nodded, and Ms. Fang got into the shotgun. The car pulled out at a very rapid speed, and the surroundings outside the window became more and more desolate. Ms. Fang questioned, "Where are we going? This is not the way to the pier."

With sudden piercing eyes, the driver responded coldly, "Take the secluded path."

Ms. Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but she was hit hard in the head the next moment. Before she passed out, she never figured out why Bai Xueli's man would attack her.

After half an hour, a ramshackle house on the outskirts of the city was set on fire and Ms. Fang, who was unconscious, was in the house.

The man in black only left after watching for more than ten minutes at a short distance to make sure she was dead.

The man thought Ms. Fang was a fool, who believed that Bai Xueli would trust her with this secret. In the world, only a dead man could keep his mouth shut.

On the other hand, Murong Xue was shocked to see the photos she had just received. Shangguan Mo asked her to believe him today, but now he ended up with another woman at night. Murong Xue found it miserable to go through the photos, and she felt her heart was broken and no tears could be squeezed out from her dry eyes.

She felt she was like a fool, giving trust to him again and again. She ignored all the signs and followed her heart blindly.

Now, these photos were making a mockery of her, an idiot. She gritted her teeth and went down to the bottom of the text, where a line of words finally crashed her, "Bai Xueli was pregnant with Shangguan Mo's baby."

Murong Xue fell down to the ground, utterly devastated. After a while, she laughed at herself and felt icy cold. She got up and her weak body found it hard to keep balance. Then she tried hard to straighten her back and called Chu Yisen.

Not for long, she was in Chu Yisen's car. She remained silent all the way and shed no tears as she was too desperate to do that now. What the photos told her was just like the betrayal in her last life, but she decided to act better this time.

Chu Yisen kept checking Murong Xue while driving and he felt she seemed to be someone different, having a quality of pushing people away.

They arrived at Murong Xue's villa soon. Murong Xue smiled at Chu Yisen, who had a worried face, "Yisen, I'm fine. Thank you for helping me so many times." She was very grateful to him, the one who was always there for her these days, and she decided that she would do the same for him.

"No need to say these. I'm glad to help you. Is everything alright tonight? Do you need me to do anything?" Chu Yisen asked carefully.

His warm words made Murong Xue feel better, so she came forward and gave him a hug of gratitude, "Yisen, thank you so much. I'm so lucky to have you as my friend."

Chu Yisen hesitated and hugged her back, feeling her soft body and unique fresh fragrance, "I'm lucky, too." But he did not manage to say his true feelings that he never treated her as his friend.

Maybe he would keep it secret for the rest of his life. He only wanted her to be happy.

The next morning, Shangguan Mo opened his eyes, and the headache made it hard for him to find out where he was now.

He was startled by the delicate skin he felt the next moment and became totally awake. As he saw Bai Xueli's sleepy face next to him, his face paled. He got up quickly and got dressed. When he checked his watch, it was already nine o'clock. Then he checked his cellphone and found several missed calls and one message, which read, "Mo, we're over. I know everything. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Shangguan Mo's hand trembled, and his cellphone dropped to the ground and smashed. He ran out immediately. He didn’t take what happened last night into consideration. He just wanted to see Murong Xue now. He could not bear the fear of losing her. Murong Xue was going to leave him.

He returned to the villa, but she was nowhere to be found. Then he went straight to her villa and kept ringing the bell. After no less than ten minutes, the door was opened. He felt as if he had waited for a century.

Shangguan Mo went in and saw Murong Xue on the sofa in the living room, whose eyes were as cold as ice, "Xue."

Murong Xue spoke indifferently, "Don't call me that."

Hearing this, Shangguan Mo was stunned. Panic began to spread inside him, depriving him of calmness. "Xue, let me explain."

Murong Xue unlocked her cellphone and threw it at him, "Explanation? I don't need that. I only feel disgusted."

He took her cellphone and went through the photos. The more he saw, the paler his face got. Even his hands began to tremble. "Xue, there is a misunderstanding." He wanted to explain this and he remembered that he only drank one glass of wine last night.

Murong Xue smiled coldly. She could not believe that he was still trying to deny it with all the evidence, "Misunderstanding? Shangguan Mo, you're shameless. It has come to this, but you still call this a misunderstanding."

Shangguan Mo went forward anxiously, "Xue, calm down. It's really a misunderstanding."

"Stop. Don't come near me." Murong Xue grabbed the paring knife on the table as she did not forget that he had once locked her up before.

His face changed and he stopped. He did not expect that she would resist him to such an extent, "Xue, I did not know what happened last night. I only had one glass of wine and passed out. I did nothing. You said you would believe me..."

Would she believe him? Murong Xue found it amusing since he betrayed her trust so many times, "Fine. If the photos are not real, what about Bai Xueli's pregnancy?"

Shangguan Mo looked up at her and realized that she knew it.

As silence filled the distance between them, Murong Xue felt colder and colder. She could tell from his face that Bai Xueli was pregnant. She laughed at herself that she had expected it to be fake, and now she only felt how ridiculous their love was.

"Leave now. We are only strangers from now on." Murong Xue asked coldly.

Did she hate him? She knew she was grudging even if she did not hate him. This was the second time that she had been betrayed by the one she loved, and she was afraid that she was unable to love anymore. Even if love did exist, she would never believe it would happen to her. The hole left by her heartbreaking experiences could not be filled.

With red eyes, Shangguan Mo clenched his fists. He knew that he failed to hide it from her, but he still wanted to love her despite his struggle. He could not let her go, so he tried to move forward and repeat what he had done before.

Murong Xue’s face changed when she saw his movement, and then she pointed the knife at her heart, "If you want to force me, you can only take away my dead body. I'm disgusted by the sight of you now. I'd rather die."

Now she did not think that he loved her. Otherwise, he would never force her. Thinking of this, she felt miserable and there was mockery in her eyes that she could feel pains even when she was in desperation.

Shangguan Mo was utterly devastated and stayed put. He wondered whether there was nothing he could do to make up after hearing what she said. Living in a wealthy family, he was not familiar with the feeling of losing something since childhood, so he did not know what could be done to soothe the pains.

"Xue..."

"I tell you one more time. Don't call me Xue." Murong Xue looked away. She now found it unimportant that he loved her or not since Bai Xueli was pregnant with his baby. In that case, he could never get rid of Bai Xueli this life, and she was unwilling to be in a love triangle, which was worse than killing her. Murong Xue wanted someone devoted at least. Otherwise, she would rather lose him and suffer than sacrifice her dignity for love.

It was because she did not think that was real love.

"Off you go now. We shouldn't see each other anymore." Murong Xue bit her lip and said in a shaking voice. Although she was determined to let him go, she was suffering great pains as she loved him.

Shangguan Mo tried to say something, but he failed. The man who had been very eloquent in business now was engulfed by panic when what he feared the most became the reality. He knew he could do nothing to retrieve what he lost now.

Tears ran down his face, which was the first time since that year. Exhausted, he left the villa at last. Then he went straight to Bai Xueli's manor. He wanted those who dared to set him up to be taught a good lesson.

Murong Xue put down the paring knife and clasped her hands about her knees, dejected.

She thought to herself, "Farewell, my love."

At the same time, Bai Xueli greeted Shangguan Mo with a nervous face, "What happened last night, Mo?"

Shangguan Mo stared hard at her. His cold face was so chilling as if he would have turned into a cannibal monster the next moment.

Raging emotions were hidden deep inside his black eyes, which frightened Bai Xueli. She asked in fear, "Mo, what happened? What happened to me last night? I could not find Ms. Fang after I woke up today."

Her confused face seemed quite plausible to him, but he could not think of someone else who would send those photos to Murong Xue. Moreover, it was Bai Xueli who wanted to drink last night. He did not want to suspect his innocent and pure sister of doing such terrible things, but he could not ignore these.

Shangguan Mo stared at her for a while, but he could only see confusion and fear on her face. He wondered whether he had a wrong guess.

"Where is Ms. Fang?" Shangguan Mo asked. Ms. Fang had worked for them for many years. He had investigated her background before and found nothing suspicious. It never occurred to him that Ms. Fang could be the suspect, but he knew everything had an exception.

Bai Xueli shook her head, "I don't know. She just disappeared. Her behavior was normal yesterday. She has been very normal recently. And, did anything happen after I was drunk last night, Mo?"

Shangguan Mo's eyes shone cold, "What do you think would happen?"

Bai Xueli hooked her clothes with her little fingers and said in embarrassment, "I don't know, but I woke up and found... And Ms. Fang was not here..."
