The Villain's Redemption Chapter 63 Lonely and Skinny back.

Chapter 63 Lonely and Skinny back.

Li Yue turned her head away and decided to stop talking to this man. She could only hope that this man would not kill her and bury her body somewhere. That would be too pitiful.

"When… I was a child…" Li Yue decided to focus on her quest instead. "I used to think I was the best of the best. That I was the pride of my parents. I had everything then, so I became arrogant and stupid."

"Are you trying to make me talk about my past?" he frowned.

"…" This man really does not follow the script! As expected of the ultimate villain. She sighed inwardly.

"Well… We're not really sure if we survive this, right?" he raised an eyebrow. Before moving a little closer to her. "Then… just let me talk about my past. It's not a big deal." Li Yue lowered her head as she hid the expression in her eyes. She had been so unlucky lately that she thought this man wouldn't budge. She could feel happy tears pool in her eyes. Once she succeeds, she will have an extra five coins.

Five coins does not sound much but to her… it is quite a lot already.

"My mother was poisoned by my father."

"…" What a pitiful life.

"You don't have to pity me." He shrugged. "It's not like I grew up alone. I had butlers and guards all around me. I rarely saw my father. One day, he just arrived with Sun Fengmian in tow saying that I already had a little brother. Our gap was only two years… meaning… he had cheated on my mother while she was alive. However… my maternal family didn't act against him as they wanted him to give everything from the Mo Family to me. The Successor. The heir. The genius." He snorted, his gaze turned sharp and cold.

Seeing this, Li Yue s.h.i.+vered inwardly. Is this the legendary gaze of the ultimate villain? It was indeed very scary.

Mo Li continued. "That father of mine just let Sun Fengmian plan and execute schemes against me. He turned a blind eye to everything and used work as his ultimate reason to not see me. While that Mo Fang?" He snorted. "He used to give a piggyback ride to Mo Fang when we were kids. He used to play with him and read some stories until he fell asleep."

Li Yue gulped. What kind of father would do such a thing to the cute little Mo Li? Li Yue thought that Mr. Mo was actually someone good as he made Mo Li his heir. Who would have thought that he was only forced to do so? How hateful. Li Yue narrowed her eyes. If given a chance, the first person that Li Yue would kill was really that Mo Ying!

"At sixteen … I moved out of the house and started living alone with the a.s.sistance of my maternal grandparents. Then I started earning my own money and investing it to protect my future. I didn't pursue my education as I hate being compared to that stupid Mo Fang. Instead, I traveled the world, earned my money and enjoyed my new found freedom away from my father and his family."

However, Li Yue didn't have the time to celebrate. To be honest, Mo Li's past was making her upset. It was like… It felt like she too had a past like this. She felt her heart ache. "What are your plans in the future?" She forced the words out of her month. This time, she wanted to distract herself from the uncomfortable emotions that she felt inside.

"I don't know. Rule an empire?" He chuckled. The coldness in his eyes vanished. "You?"

"Live a life until I die."

"What kind of goal is that?"

Indeed. What kind of goal was that? However, her time in this world was limited. As someone who did not have a name or a past, Li Yue was nothing but a wandering soul. What was she supposed to do then? Just live.

That's what people who don't have a purpose do. Live.

"Well… you are simple minded and a little stupid. So your goal is simple and carefree. I don't blame you."

Simple minded and stupid. Two things that would never happen in her next world. This was Li Yue's promise to herself. "What will you do to Sun Fengmian?" Based on Sun Fengmian's words when they went out together, the Sun Family was also quite influential in this world. Li Yue firmly believed that this was the reason why Mo Li's maternal family was letting that woman scheme against Mo Li.

"Kill her."

"K— kill her? Can you?"

He snorted in response and turned silent. If he won't kill that woman, she would continue targeting Li Yue in the future. He couldn't let that happen. Li Yue was weak and stupid. Moreover, he was the one who dragged her into all this. He made up more reasons, enough to deceive his mind that it was indeed the reason why he wanted to protect her.

Soon after, silence descended upon the cave. The two just stared at the fire until the storm pa.s.sed. Then the sounds of shoes stomping on the wet mad echoed inside the cave.

"Mo Li!?" Mo Ying's voice echoed. "Are you there? Son?"

Li Yue and Mo Li eyed each other. For a few seconds, she spotted some reluctance in Mo Li's eyes before he answered his father. "Father." One word that created gasps and cheers from the other side of the cave. It was indeed Mo Li.

He was saved.

He and Li Yue had actually survived.

For some reason, this didn't make Mo Li happy. His face was dark and gloomy as they finally exited the forest a few hours later. Then he stared at Li Yue who was welcomed by the Li Family with Li Weiwei and Xia Jin. He stared at her back for a few more seconds before he turned towards his people. "Let's go." He said as he clenched his jaw.

Why was he so emotional? Wasn't he the one who said that he would never see this woman again?

"Master…" the voice of his personal guard reached his ears. "I— I'm sorry…. This one made a mistake. This lowly one failed to protect you." They were already inside the car that would take him to his maternal family. However, Mo Li maintained his silence. For some reason, he couldn't take his mind off that lonely and skinny back.

What the h.e.l.l was happening to him?
