Chapter 875
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Leia frowned in confusion. âDoesnât she have her heart set on you now? As the top star, she disregarded her public image and cried so miserably outside just to win your heart back. What else do you want from her?â
Xavier remained silent, a deep melancholy still permeating his eyes.
âSo, I would say that itâs not that sincerity is worthless, but it was you who wasnât sincere. You are just unwilling to accept that you got no love in return. Now youâve gotten it; you start to act cocky againâ¦â
âWhat do you know?â
Like a bear that was being poked, Xavier lost all of his calm. His eyes turned cold, and he pushed Leia onto the big bed, sneering. âYouâre an idiot in love and have no experience at all. Do you know what love is? Arenât you a little too presumptuous to talk about it when you have never experienced it?â
âWho-who told you that I have no experience? I have lots, Iâ¦â
Leia looked into the manâs beautiful eyes, and her heart started to race inexplicably, and she stammered involuntarily.
âHmm⦠I donât have much experience in romance indeed. Even the only one I had was a bad one that is not worth mentioning!â
âOh, you are in love?â
Xavierâs face turned playful, and his slender fingers gently brushed across the womanâs rosy cheeks.
âDonât you always say that you are not getting married nor having a child so that you have a peaceful life? You say that romance is something even the dogs hate, and you would rather watch other couples than look for a man yourself, so I thought you had to be a virgin. It appears, however, that youâve secretly fallen in love with somebody. Itâs reallyâ¦â
He suddenly stopped talking, and his gaze turned complicated.
âItâs really what?â asked the woman curiously.
âNothing!â Xavier shook his head and smiled. âI just think itâs a shame that the world has lost another pure woman.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Leia pondered the manâs words and then said angrily, âXavier, I find that you have such double standards. On the one hand, you are a playboy who likes to hurt pure women, but on the other, lament that women are not pure enough. You look young and trendy but are so old-fashioned in thinking. Since you are so concerned about a womanâs purity, why donât you print a signboard about appreciating chastity? I wondered why you suddenly become so cold and ruthless to the female upstart that you single-handedly cultivated⦠so the rumors are apparently trueâ¦â
Xavier froze and questioned coldly, âWhat rumors?â
âThe paparazzi published an article about you suddenly falling out with an actress after discovering you werenât her first man. You were so furious that you have been avoiding herâ¦â
Leia continued cautiously, âItâs 2023. If this causes you to abandon your love, then you are being too much.â
Xavier felt much more relief. It seemed that the paparazzi still cherished their lives. They knew what they could and could not expose.
Upon noticing the manâs silence, Leia sighed. âYou are quietly admitting it, arenât you? We really cannot see things superficially. I thought that you were the aggrieved one, but it looks like itâs Shirleyâs bad luck to have met such a conservative man!â
Despite the muck and mockery, he remained unruffled. He played with the womanâs hair with his long fingers and said deeply, âWho says I care about that? Compared to the inexperienced, I think that a slightly more mature person like you is more attractiveâ¦â
