259: Chapter 258 Speechless 259: Chapter 258 Speechless The unexpected encounter left Mu Chen feeling extremely awkward, especially with other people around.
All he could do was sigh at the wrong timing of their meeting.
After glancing at the sleeping Liu Yuxi on Mu Chen’s back, Su Fei simply took the little girl’s hand and left without saying a word, her departure crisp and decisive.
Mu Chen likewise said nothing, carrying Liu Yuxi and simply walked away.
In this moment, the two of them were like two parallel lines, destined never to meet.
What Mu Chen didn’t know was that, as they went their separate ways, Su Fei’s tears had slowly begun to fall.
At that moment, Mu Chen felt as if his heart had been pricked by something, and a faint pain emanated from within.
“Mu Chen, will you love me for a lifetime?”
“How about we have a brood of children in the future?”
“Will we ever be apart?”
“Then I’ll come looking for you.”
“Mu Chen, you’re so good, you’re the person I’ve been looking for all my life.”
“You’re also the person I love most in my lifetime.”
Both recalled the promises they once made, but in this moment, they seemed so fragile.
“Aunt Su, why are you crying?” The child asked innocently.
“I thought of something sad and couldn’t help but cry.”
“A person, someone I will never forget and will always love.”
“Don’t ask too many questions, shall we go get some ice cream?”
“Sure, I like you the most, Auntie.” The naïve child said.
Meanwhile, a man suddenly appeared, dressed in a Purple Robe, his presence eerie and undetected until now.
He looked at Su Fei and said,”Miss, why don’t you make it clear to him that you still love him?”
“I thought that if we met again, we could start over, but I missed the opportunity, and now it’s out of my grasp.
Besides, he’s married now, why should I disturb him?”
“If you tell him, he might fall in love with you again.
After all, you’re the woman he’ll never forget.
I’ve seen how much he loves you, watching you two in your romance,” the man said ardently.
“I’ve already hurt him severely.
I don’t want to hurt him again.
I just want to be quietly by his side, near him, just looking at him, thinking of him.
“Why do this to yourself?
The master already knows his mistake; he’s sorry for you, but can you please stop tormenting yourself?”
“Stop it, I know what I’m doing.”
“Alright, I understand.” The Purple Robe man said, and vanished once again.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I lack the courage.
I’m afraid he’ll tell me to never see each other again…”
Soon, Mu Chen, holding Liu Yuxi, returned to the room and then stepped out onto the balcony, lighting a cigarette.
His eyes were bloodshot.
Mu Chen had to admit he couldn’t forget; regardless of wanting to, he couldn’t erase her.
“Su Fei, why do you have to reappear in my life, making me not want to forget you?
Forget it, I’ll make things clear with you tomorrow.
I, Mu Chen, cannot keep being tied to you.”
But just then, Mu Chen’s phone rang.
The caller ID showed Qilin.
“What’s up?” Mu Chen asked directly.
