Chapter 577: Eating Away At His Heart And Bones

Lihua, I know you want me dead, but you couldnt bring yourself to kill me every time we met. If my death can make you feel better, then Ill die.

The mans tone was resolute and devoid of any room for change, and the sound of it hurt Ling Lihuas eardrums.

Shocked, she tried to withdraw her sword, but it was too late.

The sharp blade pierced Lu Hetians skin easily, and bright red blood gushed out.

However, he did not seem to feel any pain and, without hesitation, his hand pushed the blade into his flesh once more.

Ling Lihuas pupils shrank, and she raised her palm abruptly and struck him on the chest.

Enough. If you want to die, go and die somewhere else. Dont dirty the ground here.

Ling Lihua spat the words harshly, s.n.a.t.c.hing the sword from him and throwing it onto the ground.

Lu Hetian was stunned. No matter how much his wound hurt, it could never match the agony in his heart.

This was how much Lihua loathed him.

However, he had brought it all upon himself.

He pursed his dry lips and, ignoring the blood flowing out from his neck, stared at her intensely. Lihua, I know you hate me. Actually, I wished for death all those years without you by my side. Now that Weiweis married, I have nothing left to worry about. Why dont you just grant me a quick death? He leaned over, picked up the sword she had thrown on the ground, and stuffed it back in her hand. Just give me one last blow. I hope that can appease you.

Ling Lihua caught sight of his bleeding wound, and her chest tightened. Then she felt the sword being pressed into her hand. Her heart throbbed as she registered his words, and she flung the sword onto the ground once more, roaring in a rage, Lu Hetian, cut it out with the ruse of self-injury. No matter how many times you die, Ill never forgive you. Betrayal is betrayal, and youll never be cleansed of your impurities no matter what you do.

When you married me back then, you should have known the kind of person I am. You knew that I could never tolerate anything that goes against my principles, but you still went and touched Zheng Yanran. When the two of you were fooling around behind my back, did you ever think about my feelings? You literally dug my heart out and stomped all over my dignity. Tell me, how can I forgive you? Ill never forgive you, ever. Just looking at you makes me feel dirty. It makes me hate myself for being so blind and entrusting my entire life in the hands of a sc.u.mbag like you.

Lu Hetian turned pale, his handsome face drained of color. The regret and pain in his heart threatened to drown him.

Ling Lihuas every word pierced his heart, and although they did not draw blood, they stung him more painfully than a thousand arrows.

He wanted to explain, but the truth was clear as day, and there was nothing he could say to defend himself.

Even the sight of his deathly pale complexion could not relieve Ling Lihua of her hatred, but she refused to spare him another glance. Get out. I wont take your life for Weiwei and Chens sake, but dont ever let me see you again. Otherwise, I cant guarantee what Ill do next time.

Lu Hetians body trembled a little. Looking at the woman who had already turned her back on him, he felt pain eating away at his heart and bones.

He loved her before, and he still loved her now. No matter how much she resented him, his love for her would only increase and not the opposite.

On top of that, the fact that she had come back to life and appeared before him again sparked a glimmer of hope in his gloomy and withered heart.

No matter what, he refused to let her go again.

Seeing his defeated expression, Ling Lihua felt somewhat suffocated and suddenly blurted, Actually, its not completely impossible for me to renounce my hatred for you.

Lu Hetians eyes lit up, and he stepped forward excitedly. Tell me. I promise Ill do anything, no matter what you say.
