Chapter 188 -188: The Boomerang Hits Him Right in the Heart

Lu Xining suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes twinkling with stars, but the words that came out caused the temperature in the car to drop abruptly.

She said slowly, emphasizing each word, “You, indeed, are, not, very, capable.”

Ji Muye had guessed what she was going to say and loosened his grip on her wrist, but the hand resting on her knee didn’t move away, especially since Lu Xining’s strength had not given any sign of easing.

The fierce force was truly meant to cripple him.

The moment he let go, Lu Xining reached for the car door, but unfortunately, the driver had locked all the doors when he had gotten into the car.

While watching her pull at the car door, Ji Muye casually adjusted his tie.

By the time Lu Xining realized the danger was looming again, her wrists were already bound with the tie and she was strapped to the back seat with the seat belt, even her flailing legs temporarily restrained by his belt.

Once he had secured everything, Ji Muye finally let out the breath he had been holding tightly.

His voice was cool and thin, “I don’t want to make you angry, but if I don’t do this, you won’t listen to me properly.”

Lu Xining, unable to flinch, retorted, “Ji Muye, do you believe I can get you locked up with meals included!”

Ji Muye replied, “I believe.”

He then instructed the driver in front of him, “Head to the seaside villa.”

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “President Ji, there’s a sports car that has been following us.”

Ji Muye knew without thinking who the owner of that car behind them was; his lips curled into a mocking smile as he sent a message to Ma Sai, who was secretly following them.

Soon, Zhou Jiawang lost Ji Muye’s car at an intersection.

Ji Muye remained silent all the way to the seaside villa.

After parking the car in the underground garage, the driver quickly left the scene.

Only Ji Muye and Lu Xining were left in the car.

The world seemed to quiet down all at once, and all that could be heard were their soft breaths.

Ji Muye opened the car door, pausing slightly as he got out.

Then when he bent over to carry Lu Xining out, he tugged at a tender spot, his handsome brows imperceptibly furrowing as his gaze on her deepened.

The seaside villa was regularly cleaned and was a place where Ji Muye occasionally came to relax and take a vacation.

It held other meanings for him and Lu Xining.

Years ago, they had spent a delightful time here and Ji Chao and Ji Ze had been conceived here as well.

Unable to escape, Lu Xining stopped struggling.

She wasn’t worried that this man would force himself on her—Ji Muye still had that much decency.

But she didn’t want to revisit too many past memories.

In the spacious living room, he set her down on the couch, took off her shoes, arranged the pillows, and made her comfortable on the couch.

After placing the shoes by the entryway and grabbing a blanket, he returned just in time to see Lu Xining biting at the knot of the tie with her mouth.

Seeing him standing by the couch, silent, Lu Xining felt a pang of anxiety.

She shrugged her shoulders slightly and without untying the tie on her wrists, asked him slightly impatiently, “What kind of madness are you on tonight?”

Ji Muye glanced at her lightly without answering her question.

Noticing that Lu Xining was lightly dressed, he turned back to find the thermostat and turned on the heating in the house.

Rustling sounds filled the living room.

Once he returned, Lu Xining had already freed herself from the restraints on her hands and legs, throwing the tie and belt casually onto the carpet.

Ji Muye’s gaze fell onto the dark carpet before he sat down on the couch beside her.

His voice was very heavy, “I just want to have a good talk with you.”

At these words, Lu Xining was truly speechless.

What is there to talk about?

We’ve discussed this hundreds of times; what else is there to say?

“You know everything I had to say, Ji Muye. You’re a smart man, so can you stop pretending not to understand? I’m really busy and have no time to listen to you justify your past actions.”

As her words faded, the surroundings fell into silence.

The man furrowed his brows without speaking, his lips tightly pressed into a line as he focused intently on her.

The warmth from the heater slowly enveloped her, and she chuckled dryly.

“All you wanted to prove was that you didn’t cheat, right? I told you before, I believe you, I believe you didn’t cheat. Are you satisfied now?”

Despite appearing unshakable, Ji Muye felt a tightening in his heart.

He couldn’t describe how he was feeling at that moment, only that her words were extremely grating on his ears.

“You’re really being quite dull, Ji Muye.”

Lu Xining was really getting annoyed by this man’s inconsistency, her words becoming increasingly impolite.

She decided to let out all the frustration that had been pent up inside her for years, all at once that night.

“You won’t give me custody.”

“You promise to stay away from me, yet you always break your word.”

“Do you think you look cool not saying anything? Do you know how much I hated your silence in those five years, always guessing, guessing, guessing? Are you a book of riddles? When I loved you, I would indulge you, but what are we now?”

“We are divorced, Ji Muye. Do you understand what divorce means?”

“From the day we received our divorce papers, we went our separate ways, not intervening in each other’s lives. You have no right to interfere with my relationships with other men, and I won’t concern myself with your flings. Can’t we just not mix our lives?”

As he watched her lips move actively and her increasingly agitated tone, Ji Muye’s refined features appeared even more profound under the dim light of the living room.

A bitter taste rolled around Ji Muye’s mouth as he felt the sting of her words once again.

He coldly said, “No.”

Lu Xining felt her heart choke up: “…”

She really wanted to hit him hard!

“I thought you would come back,” his voice deep and magnetic, broke the silence of the living room.

His dark eyes fixed on hers as she looked away, taking a deep breath, “Lu Xining, I thought you would come back.”

But she didn’t…

Hearing Ji Muye’s words, Lu Xining fell into a stunned silence.

She felt a sense of helplessness, as if hitting a cotton ball; this man hadn’t taken in a single word she’d said.

Ji Muye stood up and walked over to Lu Xining, towering over her as he grasped her chin, saying, “Is it that if I ruin Song Henian and Zhou Jiawang, your heart would return to me?”

The dangerous intent from the man made Lu Xining realize he was not merely speaking.

She warned quietly, “Don’t be crazy.”

Her voice trembled with anger, “Why do you always have to drag innocent people into our issues!”

These familiar words coming from her mouth struck him like a boomerang right back to his heart.

Ji Muye remembered he had said the same to her.

…So, this sentence really did sound unpleasant.

Disliking his strong, dominant aura, Lu Xining pushed him away and walked over to sit on a single-seater sofa.

Ji Muye turned and looked down, his deep and cold gaze never leaving her face, his slightly tousled hair a sign of her previous struggle, but his soft voice spoke something chillingly harsh.

“Don’t pretend Song Henian and Zhou Jiawang are innocent; even if there was something more between us, you have no right to control me.”

Ji Muye scoffed coldly: “I don’t allow it.”
