! I was so worried about you. Does your chest hurt Are you hungry Should I get someone to bring you food"In his excitement, he had forgotten that he was still holding Mò Yáo's hand. Mò Yáo shook his h...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO Finished Chapter 563 Unparalleled Wound

Wu Shuang couldn't escape his potential. The man's gaze was sharp, like a nail that pierced her face, burning her almost to the point of scalding her. In his eyes, she saw no calmness or smile as usual.

Kaka held onto her arm tightly, seemingly forgetting about her injury, his silent and chilling gaze making him seem cold and indifferent: "In your eyes, am I really that kind of person Do you think in my eyes, you're truly worthless Mo Wu Shuang, how could you say such a thing"

Had she not been important to him, why would he risk his life to save her back Had she not been important to him, why did he willingly bear the consequences despite knowing them Had she not been important to him, why was he willing to be misunderstood by her rather than explain

Kaka's hand on her arm hurt a lot. When it touched her wound, there was a piercing pain. Wu Shuang's gaze turned cold immediately: "Let go of me."

He held onto her even tighter. Wu Shuang raised an eyebrow like a knife: "You're going to break my hand."

Kaka only then realized this, slightly loosening his grip on one arm but holding tightly the uninjured one, fearing she would leave. Wu Shuang was furious; when had he started acting so stubborn

Wu Shuang's temper flared: "Did you use Big Brother as a pawn to kill someone else"

"Yes!" Kaka answered readily. He looked at Wu Shuang, "This is between me and Mo Yao. Wu Shuang, we will handle it ourselves, okay You don't need to interfere."

Wu Shuang wanted nothing more than to give him a curse; how could he say it was their business without her involvement when one was Kaka and the other Big Brother, all because of her. How could she not intervene if there were doubts in her heart

Kaka's words only added fuel to Wu Shuang's suspicions.

"Either you tell the truth, or let me go. Don't wait until I have to choose." Wu Shuang said coldly.

Kaka smiled bitterly, his gaze obscure, "Is this all we can say to each other"

Between her and him, they had never discussed work-related matters.

"What else is there for us to talk about" Wu Shuang asked indifferently. She looked at Kaka and said, "I have a bad habit—I if I let the doubts in my heart grow bigger and bigger, one day, I won't believe you anymore."

Perhaps Kaka would prefer this outcome.

In recent years, their relationship had been too strange. She knew herself that it was odd; how could others not think so She understood how Kaka treated her, yet there was always a rift between them.

If one day they were to completely break off all ties...

Never seeing each other again in this lifetime—if Wu Shuang were honest with herself, could she do it If such a day ever came, sometimes she really wanted to push herself to the brink and see if either of them would die.

Kaka was startled. Not believe him anymore

"Mo Yao and I know you want to teach ZHUQUE a lesson," Kaka said coolly.

"So what Didn't I tell you not to take action Those who offend me will face my wrath alone—I don't need your help with that." Wu Shuang frowned, she disliked this feeling of being kept in the dark as well.

"And what about you You do things for us regardless of whether we want them or not, like this Ocean Blue Heart. Do you really think I would like it Wu Shuang, are you sure that I truly like it" Kaka asked in a tone tinged with sorrow.

Wu Shuang's heart also stirred; on the day in the hospital room, Kaka had said that Wu Shuang was more beautiful than the Ocean Blue Heart. Had he really meant it Did he not actually like it at all She had always believed that he would like it.

Perhaps, he no longer likes it.

She thought she understood him so well, but in reality, she didn't understand anything anymore.

What made the distance between them grow so great Was it this decade-long unrequited love and suppressed feelings, or their different statuses and environments

How much did she still know about Kaka

Wu Shuang suddenly felt frightened; if there was no understanding left, what remained between them She then realized that all these years, the relationship she thought he liked might be something he didn't like at all.

He did not like their distant yet close relationship. He also disliked her coming to London whenever she wanted. Even more so, he detested physical contact with her, but out of fear of hurting feelings, he couldn’t bear to refuse her.

Or perhaps it was guilt Or maybe... pity

Thinking this far, Wu Shuang's gaze turned fierce; Kaka was confused while a storm raged within Wu Shuang’s heart. Had she misunderstood everything from the very beginning

Kaka had rejected her early on.

He had said he didn't like her, and it was also because of her initiative that their relationship became what it is now. Every time she took the initiative, he accepted, but could it be that these were never what he truly wanted

The pain in her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her several times, stirring the wounds fiercely, causing blood to flow and pieces of her heart to shatter. Her head also ached intensely; she had always been infatuated with him.

"Wu Shuang, what's wrong" Kaka noticed something was amiss with her and hurriedly asked if he had hurt her. He quickly released her when he thought he might have caused her pain. Kaka wanted to help her sit down, but Wu Shuang shook her head, stopping him.

A terrible premonition struck his heart upon seeing her expression. He knew she was in great distress; it had been many years since she showed such anguish in front of him.

That was ten years ago...

The pain in his heart suddenly intensified, recalling that ten years had passed so quickly. It felt like he had returned to New Year's Eve a decade earlier when young Wu Shuang smiled at him amidst the fireworks and asked if he liked her or wanted her.

His mixed emotions from that year were still vivid in his memory, along with the clear image of the dazzling, splendid fireworks that night.

Those were the most beautiful fireworks he had ever seen.

"I have misunderstood you and our relationship all this time. That's why we're having these conflicts now," Wu Shuang spoke coldly, her back straight as a queen wouldn't bow to anyone; but today...

She had cornered herself into a dead end.

"Kaka, for so many years, I've never been willing to accept it. There's something I want to ask you one more time," Wu Shuang stared at Kaka with determination, as if wielding a sword and ready to face anything, an incredibly brave goddess. "Ten years ago when I told you that I liked you and you rejected me outright, today I'm asking again—if until now, I still like you, Mu Wushuang, will you want me", though they were easily drowned out by the massive crowd of Zhou Chengge's supporters, making it hard for even their voices to be heard. Even with special access, they were still surrounded.The publ...
