Without Me - Chapter 36 Retrospection I

Day of divorce (First Life)

The judge in a black long robe announced the end of a marriage between Li Ye Han and Yao Xi, and the loud sound of a hammer click sounded in the courtroom announcing to the world that the most desirable man in the country from now on is a bachelor.

The dissertation was broadcast live, which Li Ye Han himself agreed to. Many women in front of televisions squealed in euphoria, hoping that it will be their lucky and they will become the next Ms. Li. Their idol was once again a free man, so they had a better chance of fulfilling their dreams.

One of those women who dreamed of that day for seven years was Ruo Yan. She waited for so long, and now her innermost desire has come true! Now, when Li Ye Han finally got rid of this rubbish, Yao Xi, Ruo Yan had a free path, now only left to complete the formalities related to the re-marriage of Li Ye Han as soon as possible.

Ruo Yan was so impatient that she would like to go straight to the Registry Office for their marriage certificate. She could not wait to tie the man to herself.

However, she couldn’t yet. She had to be patient in spite of her sincere intentions. She had to keep her face, even if in this case she did not care about her dignity. If that meant becoming Mrs. Li, she would be able to renounce everything she had – including her name – Ruo. She was ready for anything. Literally!

But her last conversation with her mother made her realize that haste was a bad adviser. Men do not like bossy women who tell them what to do. They prefer those that are submissive and subordinate.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and wait patiently. A day, two, a month – she did not know. Li Ye Han did not set a date with her, which is why she was so impatient. Ruo Yan was afraid that something might go wrong and the man would change his mind if she did not act.

Now, however, she could only pretend to be relaxed when she was leaving the courthouse on Li Ye Han’s shoulder. She hid her impatience and uncertainty for the perfect mask of self-control and smiled radiantly, revealing her best profile to the reporters who were crowding in front of them. Ruo Yan felt like the most important woman in the world. In the spotlight, she was in her element.

And the man beside her was the embodiment of perfection. The embodiment of all her most secret dreams. Her dream, longed for … Tall, more than one hundred and eighty centimeters high, with a perfect figure, style and class … Ohhh, she sighed softly, watching the impeccable profile of Li Ye Han. He was divine, with a pair of hellishly stunning blue eyes, with high cheekbones and a clearly defined jaw. Like a sculpture created by God Himself. So perfect that almost unreal. And his cold and distant aura, instead of repelling, attracted with his mysteriousness and the desire to discover what lies inside …

Ruo Yan was so excited just by looking at him that she almost fell at him in that moment. She wanted to kiss him and embrace him – in view of all these people, to let them know that Li Ye Han was just her. She wanted to show that this perfect guy is only hers – Ruo Yan! And only she is worthy to stand by his side!

‘Look, Yao Xi’ she mocked noiselessly, throwing a provocative and bold look at the woman. ‘Look what a real Mrs. Li should look like’

Ruo Yan nodded slightly at the reporter she had previously hire. The man, understanding the gesture, the man signaled his colleagues and rushed with the microphones on Yao Xi, who wanted to leave.

‘Tsk, tsk … Yao Xi … Not only did you lose the title of Ms. Li today, but you will still humble yourself like that …’ Ruo Yan cursed in her mind, and her eyes blazed with unfathomable hatred. This feeling was crawling just under her skin, wanting to get to the surface and give her seven years of frustration.

Oh, how much Ruo Yan wanted to see the humiliation of Yao Xi in the eyes of the whole world … The level of her hatred of Yao Xi exceeded all known norms so that Ruo Yan wanted to rip this brazen woman with her own hands at the moment.

In Ruo Yan’s mind a long time ago a plan was formed, how she could vent her rage, but unfortunately, due to divorce, she had to put her plans down again if she did not want to arouse anyone’s suspicions. Even if she had to wait several months to accomplish her intentions, she was ready. Ruo Yan knew that then, even the smallest memory would not remain after that whore Yao Xi. There will be no one who will remember her! ‘You will soon disappear forever, but before this happens, I want to see you rolling to the bottom. I want to see you humiliated and mocked! ‘

Ruo Yan waited with excitement until the reporters hired by her did their job. However, before she could enjoy the prize, in the next second, a grimace of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

The moment that damned slut was about to fall to the ground, a unknown man appeared and prevented her from falling.

Why this whore always had so much lucky ?!

She hid her emotions with an innocent and compassionate tone when she said, clinging to Li Ye Han’s arm, deliberately brushing her bosom against his arm: “Oh, we do not have to worry about Yao Xi. Looks like she found someone to look after her … ‘

The entire body of Li Ye Han immediately stiffened. It lasted only a fraction of a second, but Ruo Yan sensed it. Ruo Yan’s teeth clenched angrily, and her eyes burned with furious rage. Was he jealous ?!

No! He could not be jealous of this dead woman! Li Ye Han was convinced that I was his little Xixi! He could not love someone else. No, I do not believe it! I know Li Ye Han and I know how overbearing he is. Surely he can not stand that this little whore humiliates the name of Li’s family, hugged the other man’s arms on the day of their divorce. Yes, for sure!

Sitting in Li Ye Han’s car, Ruo Yan could feel the searing aura radiating from Li Ye Han’s body piercing her to the bone.

And she could not stand the fact that it was all this whore fault! She had to do something about it. Ruo Yan could not let that woman cross her plans even after the divorce.

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Ye Han’s mind was elsewhere, she took the phone out of her branded handbag and wrote a few words. Then she sent a message and put the phone back in her purse.

Ruo Yan leaning against the passenger seat, looked out the window, and in her head there were new ideas for getting rid of this damn whore once and for all. She has invented so many kinds of torture, which she wanted to surrender to Yao Xi, that the mere thought that she will soon have the opportunity to make caused a cruel sadistic smirk on Ruo Yan’s face.
