Chapter 446
The pitch-black room was so dark that one couldn’t see his own hands . In the emptiness, only breathing—at times slow and at times hastened—accompanied the eeriness in its melody .
Xia Ruya reached out in front of her gently only to feel a glass surface—a mirror actually stood before her . If not for the fact that she knew her position and could feel it, who’d have known that in this pitch-black house, the mirror was actually just right in front of her?
The mirror before her was pitch dark, totally couldn’t reflect her image .
However, she felt a special sense of security . Only in darkness like this could she totally release her genuine emotions—even the mirror couldn’t reflect the hatred stirring within her .
“Wen! Xin! Ya!” She slowly spat out three words from her tender lips . She could feel that as she said each word, the hatred in her eyes was like a teeth-baring higanbana—a flower blossoming from her viscous blood like a hysterical demon .
That alluring fire-red color and perfect exterior couldn’t conceal her pathetic soul…
Out of the blue, a depressing, bone-piercing chill arose .
“Wen Xinya, it’s still unknown who’ll win . You’ll need my permission to mock me . The ultimate winner is the one who’ll have the last and greatest laugh . ” Her lips slowly parted, revealing a smile . She could feel how bone-piercingly enchanting her own smile looked right now—such intense and cold gorgeousness was like a demon’s sharp claws emerging from the flower bud .
“Just you wait . I’ll make you pay back several times of the humiliation and distress that I’ve endured today . ” Xia Ruya’s voice suddenly sharpened into a piercing sound like that of scissors ripping silk apart in an instant—the sound contained soul-frightening hatred and madness wanting to destroy one’s mental clarity .
“Hahahaha…” Xia Ruya suddenly broke into a piercing laugh . She thought… her expression currently must be extremely twisted with hatred, but… so what—even she couldn’t see it, who else could?
“Ring ring ring ring!” A loud, hurried sound rang suddenly . The slightly piercing sound instantly torn her eardrums and shook her awake .
She slowly switched on the light . The mirror suddenly reflected a thin, pale—almost transparent, and tender little face . The pink-colored trails of tears on her cheeks added a touch of exquisite charm to her pale face . Her sad lips with dry lines parted slightly, presenting a tinge of hardly visible redness—a beauty that touched one’s soul .
Such alluring paleness, charming fragility, and stubbornly pretty decadence was breathtakingly beautiful, yet lightened her aggressiveness and instead made her appear pale and pitiful .
She blinked gently and the hatred buried below her eyes instantly disappeared without a trace .
“Ring ring ring ring!”

The doorbell continued ringing . Only then did Xia Ruya get up and got out of the room to get the door .
From the fish-eye lens on the door, she saw Ning Shuqian and hurriedly opened the door . “Aunt Ning, please come in . ”
Ning Shuqian entered the house quickly, suddenly closed the door tight, and checked the safety door lock before saying, “Why are the paparazzi so difficult these days—I’ve been watched since I left home . Luckily, I was quick-witted, changed out when I went to the supermarket to buy something, brought the reporters round and round, and only got them off my back with great difficulty . ”
She was currently wearing a black top and bottom, had a scarf wrapped around her head, and held big bags of food in both of her hands—all prepared for Xia Ruya .
Xia Ruya was greatly touched as she hung her head and sobbed . “Aunt Ning, thank you!”
Seeing that her pale little face was completely void of radiance, Ning Shuqian placed the items on the floor, held her icy-cold hands, and said, “Ruya, things are quite serious for you . The reporters are looking all over the place for you hysterically, and even my side is being watched . You hide here for a while first . Remember to lock the door and windows and don’t answer even if someone knocks on the door . ”
Ever since she publicized her hymen examination report, although the media no longer wantonly reported her scandal previously, to publicize a hymen examination report was an earth-shattering matter even overseas—how could the reporters miss out . They had been looking all over the place for Ruya, hoping to interview her for exclusive news .

As such, even her residence over at the Jade Lake was dotted with loitering reporters every day—she totally didn’t even dare to leave home .
“Got it, Aunt Ning . I can roughly guess the situation outside as well . ” Saying which, she stubbornly stopped the tears that welled up in her eyes from falling .
After leaving the conference hall at the Piazzetta that day, she was once again surrounded by camping reporters . When she finally broke free, the reporters followed her like they were on drugs . She sat in a cab and brought the reporters around half of the capital city before finally shaking them free at 3 A . M . and secretly came to this villa on the outskirts to hide .
Now, she totally couldn’t appear . Once she appeared, she would get snapped by the reporters .
Placing the stuff on the tea table, Ning Shuqian held her hand, sat down on the sofa, and said, “Have this food first . Call Aunt Ning once you’ve finished them and Aunt Ning will think of a way to send more over . Don’t starve yourself . ” Saying which, her gaze landed on her face as she said sympathetically, “Silly child, in just a few days, you’ve lost so much weight that you look like you can be blown away by the wind . Don’t go against your health no matter what happens, got it?”
“Aunt Ning, everyone says that it’s easy to add brilliance to one’s splendor but hard to offer timely help . I really wouldn’t know what to do without Aunt Ning!” Xia Ruya hung her head and cried, sending huge droplets of tears onto Aunt Ning and her hands held together . The warm tears quickly turned cool upon touching her skin, sending chills to her heart .
Ning Shuqian helped her head up gently as she watched her pale and frail looks all withered—she was obviously a flower bud-like person, yet looking all dispirited and defeated at this moment . “Dear child, you’ve suffered this time . ”

She had known from the start that this child was clean, honest, soft on the outside, and strong on the inside . Unexpectedly, in order to prove her own innocence, she had tainted her own reputation by publicizing her own hymen examination report—such a resolution really ached her heart .
“Sob sob sob sob…” Xia Ruya sobbed out loud .
Ning Shuqian took a piece of tissue paper and wiped her tears for her gently . “Aunt Ning has always thought that you’re an intelligent child who was always extremely sensible in all that you do, knowing what can be done and what can’t be done . I didn’t expect you to actually do such an outrageous thing . ”
Xia Ruya finally fell apart under Ning Shuqian’s soft words . “Aunt Ning, I can’t take the media reporting about me like this, the outsiders misunderstanding me, those eyes filled with looks of despise and disdain, and those faces filled with humiliation . I can’t take all of these . ”
