Chapter 632: Chapter 629
She put on a loose robe and walked towards the door.
As the door swung open, silence greeted her, not a single figure in sight.
Where was Lu Xiao?
Wen Xian was taken aback.
Confused, she stepped out, finally taking out her room key, she locked the door and began searching in the hallway.
The corridor was caressed by a gentle sea breeze, which, even in the evening, carried a hint of warmth.
Instead of heading to the elevators, as she walked, she faintly heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from the far end near the emergency exit.
The voices sounded familiar, and this made her increasingly apprehensive.
Because she was certain she wasn’t mistaken—the man’s voice seemed to be… Lu Xiao’s.
Even though she knew she couldn’t possibly be wrong, she still wanted to doubt herself.
She didn’t want to accept it.
Because she didn’t understand, what was Lu Xiao doing there with another woman? What were they talking about?
As Wen Xian slowly approached, she caught sight of the two figures and suddenly came to a standstill.
In the corridor not far away, Lu Xiao was with Ruan Yiyi, tugging and pulling at each other, talking about something, and Ruan Yiyi seemed quite agitated; Wen Xian only heard her shout:
“How could you do this to me!? On what grounds are you doing this…!”
Wen Xian’s breathing nearly stopped when she heard that distant voice.
What… what had happened between them…?
What did those words mean, and what was it about him that she didn’t know? Why did she say Lu Xiao had wronged her?
Wen Xian felt as though her blood had turned to ice, her back pressed against the wall, fingertips growing numb.
Her mind was in a chaotic buzz.
But just then, not knowing what they had said to each other afterwards, she suddenly heard footsteps heading her way.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly swiped her card and returned to her room.
Leaning against the door, her heart was racing.
There was a mirror beside the closet in the foyer, and when Wen Xian slowly turned around to look, she saw her own pale face in the mirror.
At that moment, looking so bewildered and dispirited, she could hardly recognize herself.
She knew she shouldn’t let her imagination run wild, but she couldn’t help spiraling into speculation, thinking back to the New Year’s Eve in Kekexili when Ruan Yiyi arrived.
She had been saved by Lu Xiao.
But now, encountering her again here without a word, Lu Xiao didn’t let her meet Ruan Yiyi, saying she harbored ulterior motives, yet he was outside in the evening pulling and dragging with that woman, and that woman even said such things.
The more she thought, the more she felt something was off…
Wen Xian slowly slid down the door, covering her ears, trying to put herself in a closed-off space, undisturbed.
To be honest, what began as almost a joke with Lu Xiao, would truly break her if it were true.
Because her mental state was on the verge of exploding, extremely sensitive.
She appeared to be well taken care of by Lu Xiao, becoming more and more like a normal person, but she knew she was also trying her best to correct herself for Lu Xiao’s sake, to accept society.
But if he had indeed concealed the truth and deceived her, it would completely collapse her inner defenses.
It would hurl her from heaven into hell.
Soon, the familiar sound of footsteps reached her door, and then, came the knocking.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
When he left, he had left the room key inside for her, not taking it with him.
And that knocking, as if penetrating the door, struck right at her heart.
