Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 459

Chapter 459: How Come It’s You?

After a long while, Yu Wuxia finally finished the steak. “Not bad, not bad. Delicious! But there wasn’t enough,” he said with a satisfied smile.

Then, he got to his feet and smiled at Chu Qingchuan. “Chuchu, I’ll come visit you in the evening.”

With that said, he took big strides out.

After Yu Wuxia left, Chu Qingchuan looked at the empty plate and wanted to cry but the tears didn’t come. She was heartbroken.

Thereafter, she immediately instructed the maid to get the kitchen to make two more plates of steak.

After Chu Qingchuan drooled for fall an hour at the table, two plates of steak was finally placed on the table.

Chu Qingchuan immediately picked up her chopsticks to eat and only put down her chopsticks and let out a burp when she was so full.

She stretched, then spun around and headed to the back of the room to get some rest.

Within the ancestral hall.

Yu Wuxia stared right at Ling Yingxue with a cold look that filled his eyes.

It’s about time to settle past grudges.

“Wuxia, why have you been so cold to me in the past three years? Do you even love me? Wuxia, tell me, what am I doing wrong? I’m willing to change for you. I beg you not to ignore me. I’ve really suffered these past three years! Wuxia, let’s go back to how things were before. Please?” Said Ling Yingxue with watery eyes.

Wuxia narrowed his eyes, then reached his hand out to remove his gold mask.

All of a sudden, Ling Yingxue’s face turned pale white with immense shock. “Yu… Yu Wuhen, how come it’s you?”

Yu Wuhen had a handsome face with prominent features; slanted eyebrows, deep and slender eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips that curved upward. He looked flirtatious and carefree. However, he had a scar that stretched from the right of his forehead to his left cheek, which ruined his natural good looks and scared people.

Yu Wuhen suppressed the anger in his heart and flatly said, “Ling Yingxue, aren’t you disappointed that you didn’t kill me three years ago?”

“Wh… what are you saying? How come I don’t understand?” Ling Yingxue’s face looked dumbfounded and her entire body trembled gently.

“Since you don’t remember what happened, I’ll remind you. Thirteen years ago, your father went insane from his training and killed my parents. However, your father also ended up dead from a fatal injury. Afterward, you went to find my brother and cried about how my parents were killed by unknown assassins. When my brother heard that your dad was also killed, he didn’t suspect anything. In fact, he cared about you more, and he even married you. Ten years later, I went back to the scene of the crime and happened to come across the truth. I returned to question you but your lips were sealed and didn’t admit it. At night, you sent assassins to get rid of me when all of a sudden, my older brother turned up last minute and took the blow. That’s how I was able to escape.”

Yu Wuhen took a deep breath and tightly clenched his fists with a faint tint of red in his eyes. “Ling Yingxue, you evil person. I should have killed you three years ago but my brother loved you for ten whole years. He loved you with every fiber in his body and didn’t want you to die. He actually asked me to take good care of you. He said that you only did the wrong thing because you momentarily lost your way. He even said that your father was in a difficult position. You’ve only been able to live a peaceful life because of my brother’s last wishes.”

Ling Yingxue’s eyes became even redder, as she glared directly at Yu Wuhen. “No, I didn’t do it. I didn’t order people to kill you. You’ve misunderstood me,” she insisted.

Yu Wuxia scoffed. “If you don’t want anyone to know, then you shouldn’t have done it. Ling Yingxue, or perhaps I should call you, ‘cousin’. From now on, you’ll stay in the ancestral hall and think about all the wrong things you’ve done in the past. Don’t worry. I won’t kill you because this was my brother’s last wish.”

With that said, he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

“No! No! Let me out! Let me out!” Wailed Ling Yingxue, as she leaned up against the big, tall door.

But after screaming for a long time without anyone coming to the door, she eventually slumped to the ground, defeated.

“Wuxia, I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m sorry! I was afraid that you wouldn’t love me if you knew the truth! Wahhhh wahhh…”
