Xia Chu's face was lifeless. When she heard the door open, she only tilted her head to look at it once before turning her face away again.
This scene deeply pained Shen Luo.
Although Xia Chu was quiet in the past, she had the aura of a living person. Every time she saw him, although she didn't pounce on him like Fei'er, her eyes were full of love.
She would ask gently, "Chen Luo, you're back? Have you eaten? I made your favorite dishes for dinner..."
Even when he coldly mocked her for being "hypocritical," Xia Chu's face only paled slightly before she smiled and said, "If you don't want to eat it, I'll keep it warm in the insulated box for you."
Shen Luo once thought that Xia Chu had no temper and would humble herself to the dust in order to please him.
She did indeed try her best to please him every time.
But now, Xia Chu neither cries nor makes a fuss, neither eats nor drinks, neither feels sad nor happy. If it weren't for the fact that she can still move, he would even doubt whether Xia Chu is still alive.
"Xia Chu, get up and eat something." Shen Luo walked up to her and said coldly.
Xia Chu remained silent and motionless.
Shen Luo sat on the edge of the bed, her voice deepening, "Xia Chu, don't make me say it a second time. Get up and eat. Even if you don't eat, the baby in your belly needs to eat. I absolutely will not allow you to starve my child!"
Xia Chu turned her back to him. "Chen Luo, go away. I don't want to see you right now. You should know that if a pregnant woman is in a bad mood, it can also lead to a miscarriage."
The veins on Shen Luo's forehead were throbbing. "Xia Chu, don't test my patience!"
"Shen Luo, I don't want to have your child at all."
At that moment, Shen Luo wished he could grab the woman on the bed!
If she doesn't want his child, whose child does she want?! That Qin Lang guy?
But Shen Luo suppressed her anger and tried to soften her tone: "Why don't you eat first, and then we can discuss it?"
Xia Chu asked coldly, "What are we going to discuss? And what is there to discuss?"
"If you eat well, I might be in a good mood and let you see your friends."
Xia Chu's head buzzed, and she immediately sat up.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten for three days, she felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and her temples felt burning.
After closing my eyes and resting for a while, I felt that I could see clearly again.
"You know now that not eating will cause low blood pressure and low blood sugar?" Shen Luo mocked.
"What you just said was true? You really will let me out?" That's all Xia Chu wanted to know right now.
Shen Luo snorted coldly, "Only if you behave well and eat your food obediently will I agree."
Xia Chu nodded, "Okay."
She was willing to do anything to get out and escape Shen Luo's confinement!
Because Xia Chu had been fasting for three days, Shen Luo only had someone cook some red date and millet porridge, along with a little bit of pickled cucumber and shredded pickled mustard greens in chili oil.
Xia Chu reached out to take the bowl, but Shen Luo had already scooped up a spoonful of porridge and held it to Xia Chu's lips: "I'll feed you."
"No need, I can manage on my own." For Xia Chu right now, eating this bowl of porridge was simply a way to leave this place.
Shen Luo insisted, "Xia Chu, I want to feed you."
Xia Chu remained silent, letting Shen Luo feed her spoonful by spoonful.
She appeared compliant, but inwardly she resisted.
This was a scene she never dared to imagine before.
She had seen Shen Luo take such gentle care of his white moonlight, and at that time she thought with a pang of sadness, when will Shen Luo treat her like this?
In her three-year marriage, she constantly hoped, only to be disappointed, then hoped again, only to be disappointed once more. This cycle repeated itself until she gradually stopped hoping.
Now that she's completely heartbroken and doesn't want anything anymore, why is Shen Luo suddenly acting so gentle? Who is he trying to impress?
After finishing the whole bowl of porridge, Xia Chu asked urgently, "Can I leave now? I want to see Xiao Yun and Qin Shuang."
Shen Luo took a tissue and wiped her mouth: "Not yet."
Xia Chu's anger flared up instantly, "Chen Luo, you lied to me!"
“I’m not lying to you. As long as you eat like this tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, I promise I’ll let you see them. I swear. But as a reward for tonight, I’ll give you my phone. But Chu Chu, don’t even think about calling the police. You know that won’t do any good.”
Xia Chu knew, of course, that calling the police would be useless against a lawless outlaw like Shen Luo, so she never even considered it.
She just wanted to make a phone call to two of her best friends.
But as soon as she turned on her phone, another call came in.
Upon seeing the number, Xia Chu frowned instinctively, but still answered the call. "It's me."
"Xia Chu, what's wrong with you? Why haven't I been able to contact you these past few days? I heard you're going to divorce Shen Luo? Are you out of your mind? Shen Luo is such a good man, it wasn't easy for you to marry into the Shen family, and you still want a divorce? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
On the other end of the phone was Xia Chu's mother, Liu Jing, an award-winning head nurse.
Ms. Liu Jing reserved all her gentleness for the hospital and her son, but gave all her harsh words and sarcastic remarks to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu felt a sharp pain in her chest, but this wasn't the first time she had felt heartbroken, so she had gotten used to it.
"Divorce is my business."
"Shut up! What do you mean it's your business? What will happen to our family business if you get divorced? Your brother's company is so big now, isn't it all thanks to Shen Luo's help? What are you complaining about?"
Xia Chu felt bitter. "Yes, what do I have to complain about? It's just that my husband has treated me like an enemy for three years, at best mocking me, at worst threatening to strangle me. What do I have to complain about?"
