Love For Life novel Chapter 1

"Xia He! How dare you! To think that you’d marry me while bringing a photo of another man with you! The gall that you have!”

Gu Zechuan grabbed the photo, its polished frame glistened with a shine under the lights, and smashed it on the ground as hard as he could. The sound of the frame shattering on the floor brought Xia He back from her momentary lapse. She opened her mouth and tried to explain to Gu Zechuan, but no words came to her.

"All the things that you did, all those efforts, to get to me and marrying me, why? Hmm? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Looking at Xia He's silence, an anger suddenly flared in Gu Zechuan. He grabbed Xia He by her wrists and demanded for answers, but Xia He didn’t answer him.

What could she say? The only thing she ever wanted was to stay by Gu Zechuan’s side. As long as she has that, she desired for nothing else in the world.

"Because I love you.’ Xia He said, softly.

But when Gu Zechuan heard that, the only response he threw at her is a laugh, a ruthless laugh. Coldly, and mockingly, he gave the shatter frame on the ground a kick, and once again laughed coldly, "You love me? I guess, you should know best, whether you loved my money or you loved the status of being Mrs. Gu. But whatever it is, I’m sure it isn’t me that you loved."

"I don’t want to see this man’s photo again. Ever." Leaving her with that, Gu Zechuan turned around and stomped off. His silhouette, with his back turned coldly to her, stabbed into Xia He's heart like a knife. Tonight, the very night of their wedding ceremony, and yet he left her alone to herself just like that, with stone cold ruthlessness.

Xia He lowered herself, and gently picked up the broken and shattered frame. Carefully, she retrieved the photo that infuriated Gu Zechuan so, and hugged the photo to her chest. Tears broke out from her eyes like a waterfall.
