Chapter 23

Mistress.

Isn't it also unfair for her to get this treatment? To be misunderstood and to be the cause of breaking someone's relationship, isn't this also unjust to her?

We judge people because of what we see and what we hear about them, even though we don't know the full story, we already had an impression on their every action.

It's just the way we humans deal with life.

"Caia Xiu, you are being unreasonable"

Unreasonable? I guess I am, I guess I'm not. Who knows? Is this really what I feel, do I act like the Caia Xiu everyone know or the real me?

Am I really me?

"Yi Wei, don't do this to me" A'liu supported me with her hands as I feel the glare coming out of her.

"I'll say this for the last time, clear your mind and don't think about dirty things" then he turn his back on us and left with the whimpering Shaoyan.

"I'm your wife" I whispered, resentment and a hint of doubt brushed along the wind as I collapsed in the cold hard ground.

My eyes stared blankly at the street, my incapability of even moving my own limbs on my own will cannot even be achieved.

Now the strings of fate had left me but I still say motionlessly, along with A'liu's cries and the roaring of the street.

Tomorrow is another day, and it means another agonizing pain will be subjected to myself again.

...

The man sat on the car as he smoke with his furrowed brows, his sharp eyes were now filled with unknown thoughts making his whole visage solemn to everyone's eyes.

The woman beside him continued to peek at him, her body shivering either from the cold or fear and bit her rosy lips before opening them.

"Mr. An... I'm truly sorry- I'll explain it to Mrs. An right now- ow!" She was rushing to move out but then forget that her feet was swollen in pain.

"You don't need to do that" he said, a pair of dark pool eyes stare right through her as she nodded obediently.

The car begun to move and silence remained in the car till it stops, the man looked at the young lady in front of him and motioned for her outside.

"Thank you for bringing me home Mr. An! I'm... I'm so sorry for troubling you and y-your wife. You can call me anytime to explain to Mrs. An!" Her words were frantic, it was like she was afraid that the man would brush her words away.

She smiled brightly when she saw him nod and went out, hopping at the streets before the car rushed out into the night until it was consumed in the dark.

Like a blossoming flower, her eyes curved into half crescent and a sweet smile fell on her rosy lips and with that, she went inside her home.

In the car, the man was thinking about the events that happened just a few minutes ago. He knew about the rumors and just left it to rot, after all he doesn't really care about how the media portrays him.

He'll explain it later to his wife at home, what she just did earlier made him disappointed but it was natural. After all at a young age, he can see the infatuation that is held in his wife's eyes.

Though now, he was a bit unsure, the feeling of lost was unfamiliar to him and now it's creeping in his mind.

He take a look at the seat beside him, the woman who was the center of the rumor, his brows furrowed with an inexplicable thought in his head.
