Let Me Go

Silvery-white moonlight shone into the dark room. Clothes were scattered all over the floor and the room was filled with an ambiguous air.

Jiang Huai rampaged around inside Yan Xia's body, venting his lust without any pity, not caring about the tears from the pain in the woman's eyes.

After that, he threw a pill in front of Yan Xia.

Jiang Huai stood up and put on his shirt. He stood by the window and under the moonlight, his body exuded a man's wildness and seductiveness. Sweat slid down his abs, adding an unspeakable sense of absurdity to the s*x just now.

He looked at Yan Xia coldly, his eyes devoid of lust.

Yan Xia forced a smile, took out a pill, and put it in her mouth.

"I'll remember to take birth control pills. You don't have to keep an eye on me every time."

"With your schemes, I'll be worried if I don't keep an eye on you," Jiang Huai sneered.

Every time.

Every time after he had vented and indulged himself, he would leave her a pill.

If that was not enough, he would also get the butler to check if her period was normal and guard against her from getting pregnant with his child.

"Then don't touch me!" Yan Xia couldn't help but shout, which stunned Jiang Huai.

His long eyes were filled with anger. He walked to Yan Xia and pinched her chin.

"Didn't you beg for this yourself?"

"Enough!" Yan Xia could not stand it and pushed him away.

He had never believed her. The mistake a few years ago had hurt him, but hadn't it hurt her as well? Wasn't the miscarriage the greatest punishment for each other?

Before Yan Xia could catch her breath, Jiang Huai pressed her down again and tightened his grip on her shoulders. "Yan Xia, with your status, you're not worthy of giving birth to my child!"

Yan Xia forced a smile. The pain in her heart was getting more and more intense. He was always like this, hurting her from body to heart without hesitation.

They had been married for many years, and it was laughable that they maintained a respectful relationship on the surface, but he had long hated her to the bone.

He did not know that she would never have a child again.

Because of that miscarriage, the doctor had said that she would never have another child in this life.

Yan Xia suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted at that thought. She finally blurted out the words she had been holding back for a long time.

"Jiang Huai, let me go. We're even, okay?"

Jiang Huai was stunned, but he exerted more force.

She was clearly the one who begged for mercy, but it only made him angrier and made him look more like a clown!

He looked at her with disdain. "Yan Xia, you've been waiting for this day for three years."

It was an affirmative tone.

He had directly condemned her in his heart.

"What do you mean?" Yan Xia asked.

Jiang Huai had already stood up and was buttoning his shirt. Every movement was elegant, and he looked like a completely different person from before.

"Don't think that your savior is back just because Wu Chen is back." Jiang Huai paused for a moment and continued, "Yan Xia, you've been by my side for three years and you've gained nothing. Are you really willing to leave just like that?"

Yan Xia was shocked and her heart ached.

It had been three years, but this name could still easily trigger Jiang Huai's anger.

Seeing that Yan Xia didn't say anything, Jiang Huai didn't plan to let her go. "Yan Xia, you betrayed me. I want you to stay by my side for the rest of your life to atone for your mistakes. Think about your situation and don't cause me any trouble at his returning banquet tonight."

As the two most powerful families in A City, the Jiang and Wu families had a lot of power and influence. The return banquet was so grand that even the head of the Chen family, who was the latest rising underworld force, would come in person.

Yan Xia was wearing a white mermaid dress, which accentuated her curves and made her hair look even more lustrous and smooth. She attracted a lot of attention as soon as she got out of the car.

Yan Xia took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she held onto Jiang Huai who was waiting for her and they walked into the hotel together.

Wu Chen stood in the crowd and politely greeted the people who came and went. He was dressed in a white suit, and he was as dazzling as a prince.

Only Jiang Huai was on par with him, so he was the center of attention the moment he appeared.

Wu Chen saw the two of them from afar. He waved the glass of red wine in his hand, greeted the people around him, and walked toward them.

"It's been a long time."

He looked past Yan Xia and at Jiang Huai. Both of them were smiling politely.

Jiang Huai replied with the same words and took the glass of wine from the waiter.

It all seemed like a simple exchange of words, but only Yan Xia could tell from the shape of their lips that they were speaking in a voice that only they could hear.

"Your opponent has returned."

Jiang Huai never liked to have Yan Xia by his side when it came to business banquets like this. She was his wife in name, so she had to accompany him. However, she would only be by his side when he entered and left.

Yan Xia sensibly retreated to the side and stood in the middle of the group of wealthy ladies.

Yan Xia's mother, Gu Ling, walked up to her and looked her up and down, her gaze finally stopping at her abdomen.

Looking at Yan Xia's flat stomach, Mother Yan suddenly felt a burst of anger. She scowled. "You're really disappointing. You've been married for three years and there's no movement from your stomach! Except for the child at the beginning, whom you weren't able to keep in the end! I don't know who caused this, or if you were born to be the nemesis of children!"
