My Wife

"That slut, I want to kill her! I will kill her! She's nothing but a lowly whore! I am... I am Bai Xinya! That's right! Bai Xinya!"

A series of high pitch scream was heard, followed by an ear piercing laugh. The whole house was seemingly silent and empty, except when the occasional screams and cries broke the silence of the night.

At the corner of a room, a mad looking woman was slumped on the floor. Her hair stuck out messily like a bird's nest and along with her tears stained face, she looked nothing like the dignified lady she once was.

It was already a week since Bai Ruoxi let Peng Xinya and Xu Linlang out of her house. On that same day, they immediately contacted a paparazzi and paid him to spread rumors about Peng Xinya and Bai Shizhen. They still thought that they had won against Bai Ruoxi.

But not even hours after the news spread like a wildfire, the Bai's released the footage of what Peng Xinya and Xu Linlang had said in the Bai Mansion. Not only were they sued for slandering Bai Shizhen, but also Doctor Lee.

Peng Zhenya had filed a divorce to Xu Linlang and stayed out of the matter, after all, it turned out that Peng Xinya wasn't even his daughter.

Xu Linlang and Peng Xinya lost everything they had that day.

Peng Xinya continued to ramble by herself. She failed to notice a shrill shriek belonging to her mother and screams that were telling her to run. It wasn't until her bedroom door was flung open and a heavy stench of blood infiltrated her nose that she finally raised her head.

Several heavy footsteps strode towards her and stopped a good meter away. Before her, stood a godly looking man. The room was dark and the only source of ray was the moonlight which directly shone upon his face. The light illuminated not only his perfect features but also enhanced his splendor and magnificence.

Peng Xinya had lost her senses and solely focused on him. She could feel a warm tinge of a blush spreading across her face as she tried to fix her hair to look more presentable. She tried to stand up and straighten her crumpled dress while chuckling sheepishly.

"H-hello..."

Jun Yihan narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the madwoman in front of him. He could feel an irrational feeling of hatred and disgust towards her. And without knowing, a silent bullet had already pierced through her leg.

Peng Xinya yelped in pain as she stared with confusion towards the handsome man in front of her. But she thought that he was probably testing her. With that thought in mind, Peng Xinya ignored the pain in her leg and tried to approach him.

The man furrowed his brow and landed another shot on her other leg, causing her to slump back onto the floor. This time, Peng Xinya was finally getting sober and terror started to fill her eyes. Her body started shaking uncontrollably from the pain and fear.

"What are you doing?! Who are you?!"

Jun Yihan's gaze grew colder, his voice was flat and emotionless. "You're not worthy to know who I am."

He raised his hand and pointed the edge of the gun to Peng Xinya's forehead. "But you shouldn't have crossed Bai Ruoxi."

Hearing that hateful name, disdain and contempt crept its way onto her chest. Peng Xinya's eyes turned bloodshot and she bared her teeth towards the man who was looking at her from above. "So you're just another of her gigolo, huh?! HAHAHAHA! Good! I will kill you and that slut along! I will--"

Peng Xinya didn't even have the chance to finish her words when a heavy impact landed on the back of her head. She swayed forward and tumbled onto the floor. The jabbing pain finally robbed away the last piece of her consciousness and filled her sight with darkness.

Jun Yihan glanced towards the man who had knocked Peng Xinya out cold. "Take them away."

"Yes, Sire."

He turned around and left the room. Jun Yihan strode over Xu Linlang unconscious body and trod lightly into his car with a lit cigarette on his lips.

The cool breeze from the air conditioner trickled over his skin, but the burning feeling inside him was yet to subdue.

He had thought that Peng Xinya and Xu Linlang were the main cause of this tingling sensation inside him. Ever since he heard the news about how they managed to mess with Bai Ruoxi, it irked him so badly that the only thing he could think of was to get rid of those pests.

Jun Yihan puffed out the last cloud of smoke from his cigarette and ground the lit edge into an ashtray. He leaned on his back and closed his eyes. On his mind, he could perfectly see a woman whose brilliance easily outshone his.

She was beautiful and intelligent, perfectly molded to be his.

Jun Yihan knew better than anyone that she wasn't like the others. Bai Ruoxi would appreciate neither of his wealth and prestige nor would she be swept away by his looks. If he wanted her to stand by his side, he would need to work for it to happen.

And it seemed like Jun Yi Han needed to hasten his plan. Every second of which he wasn't by her side, some pests would find their way to her. He couldn't afford to let any of them sully her further.

In a dimly lit, few feet under the ground room, two women were chained together on a chair. They looked badly beaten with bruises all over their once delicate faces. They were limp and weak. Every once in a while, they would let out a low painful groan.

A man sat across them on his black leather chair, legs crossed while smoking a cigarette. He lacked the evil expression which was usually present on the face of a mob boss, yet instead, he looked sorely bored.

When the tied up older woman was slowly waking up, Jun Yihan tossed away his cigarette and strode over to her. He stared at Xu Linlang with his emotionless eyes, akin to a cold-blooded predator upon looking at his dead prey.

His overbearing presence caused fear to clutch her throat tightly. Her body and lips continued to tremble from the cold, terror, and pain. Till this very moment, Xu Linlang had yet to know who this man was nor what had she done to offend him.

Sensing her confusion, the sides of Jun Yihan's lips perked up to form a smirk. It was a bone-chilling sight to behold, but Xu Linlang couldn't shake off the tingling sensation of butterflies inside her stomach. She had come to understand that this young man was a powerful one. Furthermore, he was devastatingly handsome.

If she could have him...

A glint of greed flickered through her eyes.

Jun Yihan snorted inwardly. Even on the brink of death, she was greedy and delusional. Contempt and disdain rose inside him as he gestured his hand, indicating his man to deal with her.

His trusted aide, Jun Fengmian immediately stepped forward. He pulled a dagger from the side of his suit and plunged it into her thigh without batting an eye.

The woman cried and started to thrash around, which only made Jun Fengmian more eager to end her life, not quickly but slowly, so that she would feel the pain as regret crept onto her.

"Please, stop! I will do anything, so stop!" Tears were streaming down her face, smearing her already badly bruised face.

"Your death would have been an easy one if only you didn't harass the Young Miss," Jun Fengmian started to twist the knife and let her blood oozed onto his hand. "But you just had to do it, didn't you?"

Xu Linlang was gasping for air as she began to lose consciousness again. Amid the pain and heavy breathing, she managed to let out a whisper. "Young miss... who?"

"My wife." Jun Yihan replied as he sat back down and crossed his leg. His pale slender fingers reached out for the glass of wine, his cold emotionless eyes never left Xu Linlang as he gracefully sipped the blood red liquor.

At that very moment, his sight was truly one of a King.

"Bai Ruoxi, she is my wife."
