When Luo Huian heard his words, she had no words left. When she ca inside the ward, she thought that Qi Yongrui would bla her but the r was so quiet and calm that she didn't even have the smallest idea what to say to her. If Qi Yongrui had yelled at her and made a fuss, then she could have at least said that the r was being unfair and blaming the wrong person.
But now looking at Qi Yongrui, who was calr than a serene lake, Luo Huian only felt a surge of guilt.
"If you want a divorce —"
"Who said that I want a divorce?" Luo Huian raised her head and looked at the r on the hospital bed. She thought that she had misheard sothing but when Qi Yongrui turned around and looked at her with a determined expression, she knew that the r was not joking around.
"I said that if you want to divorce, then I will sign the divorce papers," said Qi Yongrui with a steady voice. "You wanted to divorce for a long ti, didn't you? Then I think—"
"No!" Luo Huian stood up. She didn't know why she started to panic all of a sudden but the second she heard Qi Yongrui say that he wanted a divorce, she could not help but shudder. She stood up from the stool on which she was sitting and said to Qi Yongrui, "There will be no divorce."
"I don't think you have ever liked ," Qi Yongrui stated when he heard Luo Huian's refusal. He raised a brow and questioned, "So why are you inclined towards not divorcing ?" He paused and added, "Are you feeling guilty?"
When Luo Huian didn't say anything, Qi Yongrui simply sighed and then said to her, "There is no need for you to feel sorry for . You were not the one who broke my legs nor did you ask to co here. The ones who sent here to die are the ones who needed to be blad."
"We are not divorcing," Luo Huian refused at once. "I know that you might think that I am being a tad bit selfish by keeping you here with but —I would rather take care of you all my life then suffer from an unjustifiable guilt."
After she finished speaking, she turned around on her feet and walked out of the ward. She was worried that if she was even a second late, this r would bring up the matter of divorce once again.
Qi Yongrui watched the woman run away and pursed his lips. Though he didn't understand why Luo Huian was refusing to divorce him, he didn't corner her. He knew that even if Luo Huian was feeling guilty at the mont, sooner or later she would be dragged down by his disability and when that happened, his wife wouldn't bother with him anymore.
He sighed and looked down at his legs.
Reaching out, he pinched the skin of his legs but it was just as he expected. There was no sensation. He couldn't feel anything.
"It seems like I was destined to beco a clown in the hands of everyone," Qi Yongrui muttered with a derisive smile.

When Luo Huian heard the notification, she closed her eyes and pinched the space between her brows. She knew it. Even though the r was pretending to be completely calm, the truth was that he was actually used to suffering so much that he didn't even sense that there was anything wrong with him.
When Luo Huian thought about Qi Yongrui, she couldn't help but squat down on the floor and clutch her head in her hands.
"An An," Xiao Bai soothingly caressed Luo Huian's face and said to her, "There is no need for you to bla yourself. This has nothing to do with you; no one expected that madam Qiao would do such a thing. We all thought that she would at most create a fuss but we never thought that she would actually do such a thing. Who would have expected that this woman would be so ruthless?"
Luo Huian knew that she was not the one in the wrong. She even admitted that Qi Yongrui was not her responsibility nor were his injuries. But for so reason, she felt helpless and guilty towards that r.
He could have selfishly asked her to bring him along with her. He had no obligation to beco the bait but he beca one because he trusted her. That blind trust, was what made Luo Huian feel sorry for that r.
She closed her eyes and pinched her brows before saying to Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, "It's not that I don't know this; I do know this."
"Then why—"
"Because I feel pathetic." Luo Huian scoffed mockingly. With self-mockery brimming in her eyes, she remarked, "In the past, when I was caught and thrown in prison, I asked everyone to trust . But no one trusted back then. I thought that it was really unfair. Why was it difficult for them to trust ?"
"I wondered if it was truly hard for them to trust or sothing."
"But now that soone finally trusted , I let them down. No wonder the elders didn't trust . Its because they knew that I was not trustworthy enough."
SLAP!
She was still speaking when Xiao Hei raised his tail, circled it around like he was running a windblade and then slapped Luo Huian harshly. He said to her, "Luo Huian, have you lost your mind? What happened to Qi Yongrui is tragic. I admit that it is really tragic but you also need to know that you cannot bla yourself for everything! It's not your fault."
"You did whatever you could — its not your turn to take the bla for this tragedy."
"But—"
"No buts!" Xiao Hei snapped. "Do you think that you can save everyone? Then I will tell you that its impossible. This tragedy was inevitable and soon you will realise that you cannot save everyone. There will be tis when you will fail to save them, so it's better to accept your limit. Instead of trying so hard."
"Do you understand what I am saying?" Xiao Hei asked as he looked at Luo Huian, who humd after a short while.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei snorted and said, "Since you have snapped out of your brooding, then you might as well go and deal with the Wen family. They were the ones who did this, and since that is the case, you need to drag them down for what they had done to Qi Yongrui."
Luo Huian raised her head and turned to look at Xiao Hei. "Do you think that I can do it? I was sent here as a punishnt, wasn't I?"
Hearing her response, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai turned to look at one another. They then turned to look at Luo Huian before saying, "You are forgetting sothing, An An."
"You are the judgent," Xiao Bai reminded Luo Huian. "You were the one who was given the power to judge humans and give them peace or misery according to their sins."
"And you are still judgent." Xiao Hei remarked with a stern voice. "No matter what your position and power in this world is, your role will remain unchanged."
"If you want to judge soone, I think you are allowed to do that."
"That's right; have you forgotten? You did the judgent on that Chu boy. Nothing happened to you, right?" Xiao Bai reminded Luo Huian, who suddenly felt the haze in her mind getting cleared up. She pursed her lips and said, "You are right."
She got to her feet and muttered, "Since that is the case, then why should I hold back? I will make that r suffer along with his family. He was the one who didn't and couldn't control his wife. How dare he chase Qi Yongrui away and think of killing him?"
With that thought in her head, Luo Huian pursed her lips and turned to leave the hospital. She would first make the arrangents for Qi Yongrui to return to the city. If he stayed here, there was a chance that he might not be able to recuperate properly.
She might as well bring him ho and as for the Wen family —her eyes narrowed.
They would get their judgent.
She pulled out her phone and dialled a number. One that she knew would certainly listen to her.
"What!!" Mother Wen stood up from her seat and shouted in the receiver of her phone. For a second, she couldn't believe that the docunts of her tax evasion was clearly printed and published on social dia. She blinked her eyes and rubbed her forehead before asking, "Try to suppress the matter. Don't try to let anyone add fuel to fire!"
