Chapter 20 Lu Zhaoxue hates Chu Huaiyu to the core
Chu Huaiyu's gaze was fixed on Lu Zhaoxue's face, his eyes unfathomable and filled with a hint of obsession.
Chu Huaiyu suddenly reached out and, ignoring Lu Zhaoxue's resistance, forcefully cupped her cheeks, asking sharply, "Zhaoxue, tell me, why did you abort our child..."
Chu Huaiyu's voice was terribly hoarse, as if he were forcing Lu Zhaoxue to give an answer.
At this moment, Chu Huaiyu's dark eyes were filled with pain, anger, and confusion, and the intense emotions almost consumed him.
Lu Zhaoxue was pinned down by Chu Huaiyu and could not move. Looking at Chu Huaiyu's face so close to hers, the hatred and grievances that had been building up in her heart for many years surged out instantly.
Lu Zhaoxue sneered, her voice filled with extreme mockery and sorrow: "Chu Huaiyu, have you forgotten what you said to the late emperor?! How dare you ask me why now?!"
Lu Zhaoxue recited, word by word, the words Chu Huaiyu had spoken to the late emperor. Each word was like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Huaiyu's heart.
"Back then, when you ruthlessly framed me and Chu Siheng to distance yourself from the situation and for your own position as crown prince, did you ever consider me even slightly?! And now, what right do you have to question that child?!"
Chu Huaiyu's words from back then were etched in Lu Zhaoxue's memory; she thought she would probably never forget them for the rest of her life.
Chu Huaiyu refused to acknowledge her, refused to acknowledge that relationship. The child's father had abandoned its mother like trash, so why should she keep it, letting it suffer from birth and repeat her mistakes?
Upon hearing Lu Zhaoxue's words, Chu Huaiyu's face turned deathly pale, and the fingers stroking her cheek suddenly tightened their grip.
He panicked for a moment, then leaned down and pressed his forehead against Lu Zhaoxue's forehead.
Chu Huaiyu's warm breath, mixed with the smell of alcohol, sprayed onto Lu Zhaoxue's face, his tone low and dangerous: "Lu Zhaoxue, don't force me!"
Who is forcing whom?
Looking at the violence and obsession in Chu Huaiyu's eyes, Lu Zhaoxue felt only absurdity and despair.
Lu Zhaoxue raised her hand and grabbed Chu Huaiyu's arm, her nails digging deep into his skin.
"Chu Huaiyu! I was never the one who forced you! From beginning to end, it was you who forced me! You ruined everything for me, so what right do you have to criticize me now?!"
"Heh..." Chu Huaiyu chuckled softly, his anger burning even more intensely.
"Since that's the case, then I'll show you what real coercion is today."
Before Lu Zhaoxue could react, Chu Huaiyu swiftly pressed several acupoints on her body.
Lu Zhaoxue felt a numbness all over her body, and her limbs instantly lost their strength. She collapsed limply into Chu Huaiyu's arms. She was startled and tried to struggle, but she couldn't move.
Chu Huaiyu then picked Lu Zhaoxue up in his arms and held her waist tightly.
Chu Huaiyu looked down at the pale-faced woman in his arms, her eyes filled with fear. There was no pity in his eyes, only a cold and resolute look.
He turned and strode towards the door.
Chu Huaiyu led Lu Zhaoxue through a dark corridor. At the end of the corridor was a secluded palace. Chu Huaiyu pushed open the palace door and saw that the walls were inlaid with exquisite gemstones and the floor was covered with thick velvet carpets, which felt like walking on clouds.
Inside the hall was a bed, and on the bed...
Lu Zhaoxue's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her fear intensified, but she didn't want Chu Huaiyu to see it, so she had to pretend to be calm.
At this moment, Chu Huaiyu pinched Lu Zhaoxue's chin, making her look at what was in front of her.
"Zhaoxue, this is a place I specially created for you. Originally, I didn't want to use it on you."
Lu Zhaoxue looked at Chu Huaiyu with eyes full of hatred, as if she wished she could devour Chu Huaiyu alive.
Seeing her like this, Chu Huaiyu smiled coldly. Then, Chu Huaiyu placed Lu Zhaoxue on the soft couch, picked up the iron chains next to him, and tied Lu Zhaoxue's limbs.
His hand slid slowly...
Chu Huaiyu couldn't hear Lu Zhaoxue's charming voice and found it really boring, so he released Lu Zhaoxue's acupoints one by one.
Almost as soon as Lu Zhaoxue was untied, she opened her mouth and angrily cursed, "Chu Huaiyu, let me go! You shameless scoundrel! You..."
But Chu Huaiyu completely ignored Lu Zhaoxue's angry shouts, and just continued on his own...
During this process, Lu Zhaoxue gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound. After a long while, she closed her eyes in pain.
"How can you make up for the mistake you made, Zhaoxue..."
Lu Zhaoxue suddenly opened her eyes, only to find Chu Huaiyu in front of her utterly ridiculous! She wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood to quell the resentment that had been building up in her heart for so long.
