He paused, then let out a cold chuckle, his eyes brimming with contempt. "Would I mistake you for Chuxia? Hah, I can tell Chuxia and you apart! Because you never caught my eye."
In his eyes, there was only Ling Chuxia. There was no Ling Yunshu at all. How could there be any talk of mistaking one for the other?
Because... never caught his eye...
How devastating could words be? Ling Yunshu finally felt it, especially since these words ca from the man she deeply loved. Each of his words carried imnse force, striking directly at her heart, making her body tremble violently, like a leaf quivering in the wind.
Her eyes quickly reddened, tears circling in her sockets. Her voice was hoarse, "Shi Che, in your eyes, am I... am I really so contemptible?"
"Contemptible?"
Shi Che’s lips curled slightly, his tone icy as he spoke with deliberation, "It was you, Ling Yunshu, who brought yourself to this state of wretchedness."
He had felt a twinge of guilt towards her, as he had indeed used her in the past. However, since the engagent news broke, any trace of guilt he had for her had evaporated.
That engagent news, even if it was solely his mother’s idea, she knew all too well he never promised her anything regarding the engagent. Therefore, she couldn’t possibly be completely innocent.
Now it seed... that was indeed the case.
Shi Che’s dark eyes narrowed, his cold gaze landing on her, his handso face devoid of expression, and his eyes void of warmth.
"There are plenty of won who would scramble into my bed. Your tactics are the most lowly."
Ling Yunshu never knew that a man as noble and elegant, as reserved as Shi Che, could speak such venomous words, causing such embarrassnt.
With one sentence, he lumped her together with all those disorderly won outside... Was she even worse than them?
Ling Yunshu felt as if she suddenly lost her voice, tears falling incessantly, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
Shi Che, however, withdrew his gaze and didn’t look at her again. He strode to the bedside, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.
The call was swiftly answered, a respectful voice ca through, "Young Master."
"Aunt Zhu, co over and clean my bedroom. Rember, disinfect everything from top to bottom. And, throw away my bed, buy a new one, and replace all the bedding with new ones."
Hearing Shi Che’s cold, indifferent voice, Ling Yunshu’s face turned deathly pale. She suddenly glared at Shi Che, her voice filled with resentnt, "Why?"
Shi Che continued instructing Aunt Zhu over the phone, completely ignoring her.
But Ling Yunshu, as if driven to a state of utter madness, stood up shakily, her red eyes fixated on Shi Che, her voice growing shrill, "Why? Why am I not good enough? I look exactly like Ling Chuxia, I am even a hundred, no, a thousand tis better than her! I love you so much, why won’t you give a glance?"
Shi Che cut off the phone call and his dark eyes swept toward Ling Yunshu, still devoid of any warmth.
Ling Yunshu, unable to control her agitation, took a couple of steps forward and pleaded, "If you like Xiaxia that way, I can be like that too... I can be rebellious and unrefined, not prim and graceful. I can do everything you like."
