Chapter 423: Heartbroken

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘I doubt it’s the Second Young Master or Third Young Master. Boss would’ve just cursed at them. The last time Boss looked like this was when he took a stifling loss against Li Yuan…’ Xu Xu thought.

Xu Xu quickly delivered the medical kit.

Fu Qingli sent him away and dealt with his bleeding wounds while he got mad at himself. ‘What the hell is wrong with me? Isn’t this very normal? Why was I so angry? Is it because that stupid girl ignored me and blocked me?’

After Shen Xi mercilessly blocked Fu Qingli, she was in a joyous mood, and the smile on her face was the brightest. The best way to deal with an opponent was to ignore him!

‘He probably won’t find trouble with me now, right? I even informed him beforehand so that he can control his family. If he can’t control them, then it’s not my fault!’

Shen Xi’s move took immediate effect. Fu Junqiu no longer pestered her to sign with the Fu family’s entertainment company and Fu Qingxuan did not come to bother her.

Two days ago, Fu Qingxuan could not get to Shen Xi because she blocked him, so he called her parents. Lately, he did not call her, so Shen Xi had a rare moment of peace.

Every night, Shen Xi would go to Li Yuan’s house, but every time she sneaked past the door to his home, she felt like a thief. This feeling of doing something behind her parents’ back was quite thrilling and exciting.

That night, no one was at the door and there was no car parked at the front.

Shen Xi thought Li Yuan went out, so she looked at her house and next door. After hesitating, she still went next door.

If she were to go home now, it would be hard to find a good excuse to sneak out again. Li Yuan could not miss his daily acupuncture routine.

Kun Lun had long since registered Shen Xi’s fingerprints at their door. She pressed her finger onto the lock and let herself in. She walked in while she sent Li Yuan a text. [Brother, when are you coming home?]

Boom!

There was a loud explosion coming from the kitchen. When Shen Xi looked over, she saw the fire through the window.

Shen Xi was scared to death. Her hands trembled and her phone fell to the ground. She ran inside the house and saw the man who was lying by the kitchen door.

He looked like a mess as he glanced back in the direction of the kitchen with a cruel, blood-thirsty, and abhorrent self-deprecating smile. His whole being was exuding despair.

The man was unaware of Shen Xi’s presence. In the next moment, he laughed mockingly at himself. He looked at his own legs and crawled back into the kitchen without hesitation.

The kitchen was a mess.

There was a burning flame on the stove.

The kitchen floor was strewn with broken dishes and food from the impact of the explosion.

He looked at the mess in front of him with calm and deep eyes that were laced with self-mockery. He just found everything in front of him to be an eyesore.

There was never a moment that he wanted to end his life so badly.

‘What am I doing alive? I can’t even do such a simple little thing…’

The mess in front of him seemed to remind him that he was a useless invalid. ‘I’m so useless that I can’t even do such a small thing like cook for her…’

Li Yuan hated his legs, but what he hated more was meeting her so late. ‘If only I could’ve met her a few years earlier when I was in my prime… I could’ve stood in front of her… How great would that be?’

Recently, Li Yuan would often fantasize and dream about standing in front of Shen Xi.

He dreamt he could stand in front of her parents and friends without fear while he told everyone that she was his.

Now, he dared not appear in front of her parents and was afraid of letting her friends know about his situation. He was scared to show any emotion in front of her.

The reason he continued living was to find her.

Now that his wish came true and he finally found her, why should he drag her down?

‘I shouldn’t drag her down with my crippled body… She shouldn’t waste her prime on a useless invalid like me…’

The fire was getting bigger in the kitchen and started spreading.

His eyes were burning and broken porcelain pieces were stuck in his palms. His whole body was engulfed in fire and blood. The look in his eyes was dark, cruel, bloodthirsty, and maddening.

Behind him, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Li Yuan turned his head and saw a tearful face. She called out to him in a panic, which pulled his sanity back a little.

Shen Xi rushed over.

At this moment, he suddenly felt so heartbroken.

Shen Xi felt her heart was torn into pieces when she saw his crazy, desperate, and resolute face with no hesitation to die.

The moment Li Yuan saw Shen Xi, his eyes returned to his usual gentle look. He was extremely calm as he looked at her and said, “Don’t come over! It’s dangerous… Call Kun Lun.”

Shen Xi did not listen to him and ran over. When she got to the front of the kitchen, she could clearly see what was going on. The bloodstains on the ground instantly stung her eyes.

The broken porcelain pieces that were stained with blood seemed to stab into her heart.

Shen Xi bent down and quickly grabbed his arms.

She panicked in a moment and forgot that she should drag him out.

He wore light-colored trousers today, so Shen Xi could see the bloodstains on his pants from the broken pieces of porcelain that had pierced into his flesh.

“Leave me alone!” Li Yuan watched as the fire got bigger. He felt the girl’s soft arms wrapped around him and let out an exasperated stern rebuke. “Get out of here!”

This place was dangerous because the kitchen might explode again.

Shen Xi did not know Li Yuan had a temper and would yell at her. She saw the fire in the kitchen had begun to spread and quickly dragged him out without a second thought.

The kitchen was large, but the fire was still concentrated around the stove, and not towards the door, so they were safe for the time being.

Li Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the girl’s small fair hands. He then looked at his own legs self-deprecatingly and closed his eyes in despair.

‘How can I let her see how useless I am?!’

Shen Xi was strong and dragged him to the living room. She then squatted down, carried him on her back, and ran to the courtyard before she put him down.

Li Yuan regained his composure in a short while. He adjusted his sitting position and did not know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, the air was dead silent.
