Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 4 She Was Reborn
The instant Lu Shen had left, Hui Yin collapsed like a stringless puppet on the floor.
Her whole body was trembling, and sweat had molded the nightgown to her body. The lamp fell onto the floor with a soft thud, and the girl stared at the messy bed where she found herself a few minutes before lying together with Lu Shen.
Hui Yin was incredibly confused. Since the beginning of their marriage, she could easily count on one hand the number of times Lu Shen had shared her bed.
A few of those times, he was really drunk, and Hui Yin had no idea if Lu Shen was really looking at her or a drunken illusion of Nian Zhen.
But the man earlier had been sober.
Maybe he felt guilty at what Nian Zhen had done to their baby?
Hui Yin could clearly feel that her womb was empty, and all at once, tears fell like raindrops on her cheeks. Her baby was gone—all because Nian Zhen couldn't tolerate that Hui Yin had produced Lu Shen a legitimate heir first.
But Hui Yin knew that what had happened was partly her fault too. If she hadn't been so trusting and foolish, perhaps she could have given birth to a baby that would give her the love she clearly lacked in this life.
As she was putting the lamp back on the bedside table, Hui Yin caught sight of her reflection on the dressing table.
All at once, extreme shock made her mouth drop open in surprise.
It was because the girl on the mirror was astonishingly beautiful.
Her hair looked silky and smooth, tumbling in loose waves across her shoulders. Her skin was clear and flawless, just like a piece of jade. Her lips were full and shaped like a Cupid's bow, and at that moment, it was parted enticingly in surprise.
Hui Yin realized with a start that she recognized the girl on the mirror.
The girl was a younger version of Hui Yin.
She slowly reached up and touched her cheeks, but the roughness that she was getting used to feel was not there. There were no calluses on her hands because of hard work, and the dark shadows underneath her eyes because of too many sleepless nights had also vanished.
Hui Yin was stunned.
"I was...reborn?"
She recognized the apartment she had woken up in. It was the apartment she had rented when she and Lu Shen had just gotten engaged in her past life.
Although he was always busy with work, Hui Yin clearly remembered that she had begged him countless times to stay with her every night. What happened earlier was probably also because of this, her extreme reluctance to let Lu Shen go.
Hui Yin watched as the eyes of the girl on the mirror slowly turned cold.
Now that she was reborn, she would not make the same mistake again.
