After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

the other side.

Bai Yunxiao practically carried Lu Ze away, as if he were carrying a malnourished chick—no, a lame chick.

Lu Ze had never seen Bai Yunxiao resort to violence. He was a man who valued elegance and face above all else. He was usually humble and polite, and could get along with anyone. Even when he was angry, he would never resort to violence to solve problems.

But seeing Bai Yunxiao's unusual behavior now, he was a little scared. He had really angered Bai Yunxiao this time, more seriously than ever before.

"Ah Xiao—ah—"

He had just started to call Bai Yunxiao's name when he suddenly lost his balance and was slammed onto a large rock. The surrounding scenery became unfamiliar, and Lu Ze felt dizzy. He could only see some flowers, plants, and trees around him.

What suddenly brought him back to his senses was a warm liquid flowing into his eyes, instantly shrouding everything in a hazy mist of blood.

His head was ripped open, a huge gash from which blood gushed out, a dense stream of blood spraying and flowing everywhere, into his eyes, onto his cheeks, and finally even his lips tasted a metallic sweetness.

Bai Yunxiao wants him dead.

Lu Ze's heart clenched suddenly, and a wave of pain washed over him. To be treated like this by the person he loved, his heart was broken.

"Ah Xiao, listen to me."

Lu Ze's eyes were filled with helplessness, and the blood on his face looked sinister and terrifying.

"Shut up."

Bai Yunxiao's eyes were bloodshot, almost sparking with rage. For the first time in his life, he had the thought of killing someone. Lu Ze was the first person who had stirred such murderous intent in him.

"Ah Xiao, you actually hit me because of him! This is the second time! The second time you've hit me because of someone insignificant. Am I really that worthless in your eyes? Is it that no matter who I'm with, you'll blame me and hit me without hesitation?"

Lu Ze suddenly felt wronged. Why could Bai Yunxiao hit him again and again because of other people? And with such force? He was clearly the one who loved him the most. These people and Bai Yunxiao were just having fleeting relationships. Why did he value these people so much? He was the one who should spend his life with him! No one could love him more than him!

Bai Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said nothing more. He didn't want to waste time talking to this bastard.

He did one simple and straightforward thing: he slapped Lu Ze across the face. Seeing Lu Ze's panicked expression, as if he still wasn't satisfied, he slapped the other side of Lu Ze's face again. The two bright red handprints mixed with blood looked ridiculous and pathetic.

"Looks like I gave you too much face, letting you think too highly of yourself?"

Lu Ze stared in disbelief at everything before him. He never imagined that Bai Yunxiao would humiliate him like this, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Bai Yunxiao, what did you say?"

"I take myself too seriously? How can you say that! Back then, you wanted to sleep with me every night, was that it too? Was I just being delusional? You, Young Master Bai, are so aloof, sleeping with people you wouldn't even give a damn about. Now you're saying you're giving me too much credit? Ridiculous!"

Enraged, Lu Ze struggled to his feet, rushed forward, and shoved Bai Yunxiao hard. "What right do you have to hit me? What right? Huh?!"

But Lu Ze had lost his arm, and Bai Yunxiao had practiced martial arts since childhood, so Lu Ze was quickly beaten down again.

Bai Yunxiao's face flushed red, veins throbbing on his forehead, as he punched Lu Ze's mangled face repeatedly, yelling, "I told you to shut up! Shut up!"

Lu Ze is the kind of person who would rather be beaten to death than not have a good argument. Now that both of them are in a daze, what does it matter if it hurts? They'll keep hitting him. They'll get used to it eventually!

He let out a deranged laugh.

"Hit me, hit me! You'll regret it one day. Because only I love you the most, only I'm the most suitable to be by your side! Can these people around you stay with you? Don't make me laugh. How long did that male prostitute follow you last time? It seems like he died not long after, right? And this Young Master Xiao, even if I don't harm him, how long can he live? Only I can stay with you forever!"

"Stop pretending to be so affectionate. I understand you. I know you too well. Isn't that how you are with everyone? When things are good, you're inseparable, deeply in love. But when you're tired of someone, you just throw them away. You have no heart at all. Aren't you and I the same? Haven't we ever truly loved each other? If that's the case, why make things so awkward and fight with me over a passerby?"

"I did want to kill him, that's true, but what I couldn't stand was him being around you. Do you know how much it hurts me? If he knew you were such a hypocritical beast, would he still treat you the same way? Who else would be like me, knowing what kind of scum you are, being hurt so badly by you, and still foolishly loving you?"

Bai Yunxiao was panting heavily, his chest heaving more and more violently. He still didn't stop; he was determined to beat Lu Ze to death today.

"He and I are not just passing through! No!"

Bai Yunxiao roared fiercely. He wasn't trying to explain anything to Lu Ze; it sounded more like he was speaking to himself.

"Not a passerby, do you hear me clearly! No! Not a passerby!"

Bai Yunxiao roared like a mad beast, as if the word "passerby" had become his obsession, something he could never get around.

Lu Ze felt his vision blur and couldn't tell if it was tears or blood flowing in. The world spun around him, and he felt like Bai Yunxiao was about to beat his body into a bloody mess, and his eyeballs were about to be knocked out.

With each punch that landed on him, he could feel his heart shattering.

The lover he had been waiting for had actually gone so far as to beat him to death.

The handsome young master Bai, who could walk among countless beauties without ever getting a petal on him, would actually become so ruthless and insane for one person.

"Are you going to kill me, Bai Yunxiao?"

Are you going to kill me...?

Lu Ze's voice was hoarse and calm, like that of someone whose heart had died. He struggled to open his eyes and looked at Bai Yunxiao's face, which was filled with boundless hatred. In that instant, he didn't have time to think of anything; all he wanted to do was cry.

The person he loved for so long, the person he desperately tried to catch up with, actually hates him to this extent.

Bai Yunxiao snapped back to reality upon hearing Lu Ze's hoarse voice, but he couldn't stop himself. Even after regaining some of his composure, he still felt an endless amount of anger that needed to be vented.

"Who do you think you are, to think you're worthy to compare yourself to him, worthy to scheme against him, and worthy to scheme against my Songnian! If he doesn't come back, you'll be buried with him! Buried with him!"

Lu Ze's heart sank.
