Chapter 455: Chapter 316: Sincerity for My Heart

Looking at the ex-girlfriend, her face ashen and eyes full of venom as she stared at his wife, Zhou Mikang’s brows deeply furrowed. He had to make this woman understand that she was a thing of the past, and would forever remain so! Otherwise, even with Jiang Qi and Ma Chao protecting his little wife, he wouldn’t be able to truly ease his mind once he left.

"Ye Meiru, up until now I haven’t laid a hand on you only because of the relationship between the Zhou and Ye families. If you continue to be entangled, I will have a talk with Huang Xinlong."

"You..." Ye Meiru stared at Zhou Mikang in disbelief, "you’re lying to me, you wouldn’t do that, I know."

"I would do that..." Zhou Mikang emphasized each word again, "I really would, I never joke."

Ye Meiru’s body slightly trembled imperceptibly: "I sacrificed so much for you, can you really be so heartless towards me?"

"You still have the same extreme personality. After drifting around these years, realizing my worth, you just expect to come back to me? Do you think the world revolves only around you?

Forget it, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I have to make it clear to you, from the second time you betrayed me, there was no possibility between us anymore.

I can’t accept a woman who’s been with I don’t know how many men, just the thought of it disgusts me..."

Being humiliated in front of her rival, a thing Ye Meiru could never accept, a heavy sense of shame overwhelmed her, causing her to faint with a "boom" in her head. The moment she collapsed, she unconsciously looked towards Zhou Mikang, her eyes met only his cold indifference...

"You’ve angered her into fainting..." Chuxia spread her hands, "What now?"

Zhou Mikang walked silently toward Ye Meiru, kicked her, and after two "smack" sounds, Ye Meiru cried out, sitting up abruptly..., upon regaining her senses, she looked up to see Zhou Mikang standing beside her, his face icy, and Ye Meiru felt her heart sink to the bottom, realizing she had indeed deluded herself!

If there had been any residue of feelings, he definitely couldn’t have done such a thing, especially in front of Lin Chuxia!

"If you don’t want Huang Xinlong to lock you up, don’t trouble my wife anymore." Zhou Mikang walked up to a dazed-looking Chuxia, affectionately stroked her head, "Don’t worry, I won’t hit you, never."

"Uh..." Chuxia blinked her big eyes, trying to make her nearly frozen eyeballs roll again, "It’s not that I’m scared, it’s just unexpected."

"What’s there to be unexpected about?" Zhou Mikang said with a laugh, "Isn’t this what you wanted to see?"

"Correct." Chuxia said seriously, "If you really were tender and protective towards everyone, I’d really need to think hard about whether I’d want to be with you."

Just then, Jing Zhe returned, carrying a thermos bottle. Seeing Ye Meiru sitting on the ground, he nonchalantly kicked her: "Get up, don’t you know a woman shouldn’t sit on the cold ground?"

Chuxia’s lips twitched, "Brother, are you being caring or are you doing it on purpose, or purposefully doing it on purpose, or purposefully doing it on purpose on purpose?"

Appreciating Jing Zhe’s help, Zhou Mikang chuckled: "Uncle, you sure took your time fetching water. It’s only a two-minute walk to the water room, you could have made the round trip in five minutes, but I’ve been here for ten, and you’re just getting back, did you start a fresh boil?"

"Some people needed enough time for their performance, right?" Jing Zhe laughed as he set down the thermos bottle, then looked at Chuxia, "Sis, how was brother-in-law’s performance just now?"

Chuxia thought for a moment, then said, "Not bad, I’d give it ninety points."

Jing Zhe raised his eyebrows: "Why deduct the ten points?"

"Because of old scores not settled well."

Zhou Mikang scoffed: "Settled, it’s just that she isn’t aware."

"..."

Completely ignored, Ye Meiru, listening to the implications in the conversation of the three, felt utterly defeated. She had come here believing Zhou Mikang still loved her the most. Her prior rejection was only because he resented her past betrayal.

Thus, she thought by sacrificing herself for his freedom, even though he might not remarry her, he would regret and be heartbroken to no end. Thus, she was patient enough to wait, believing in the adage "young couples may grow old together—if not as a young couple, then an old one will do."

Now, it appeared she was wrong, horribly wrong. When a man deeply loves a woman, he would be distressed by the slightest harm to her. But once his love fades, even if she died in front of him, he probably wouldn’t feel much. Right now, Zhou Mikang’s actions towards her, fully demonstrated just that. His threat, that if she dared trouble his wife he would talk to Huang Xinlong, sufficiently proved this.
