Nanxi froze and pushed him, "Lu Yinchu, what are you doing? Put me down now! "
Lu Yinchu’s mouth curved into a charming smile, "Didn’t you just refuse to leave? So what’s the problem if I carry you and walk?"
Nanxi bit her lip. She knew that some people, like him, she could not mess with. She shouldn’t have been so headstrong. What is she going to do now? She was so embarrassed!
Nanxi glanced around and found that, as expected, a group of people were watching them. She turned her face away, ashamed to face the crowd.
"Lu Yinchu, get in the car quickly, don’t just stand here!" Nanxi didn’t want to argue with him anymore. She just wanted to escape from the scene as fast as possible!
Lu Yinchu laughed, realizing that the current situation was a little risky. Without hesitation, he carried Nanxi towards the black Land Rover. Mo Yan had been following them closely with the car.
They finally got into the car. The instant the door shut, Nanxi exhaled a long breath, while quickly moving away from the man next to her to put some distance between them.
She was going to be mad at him!
Lu Yinchu sighed. He tried to hold her, but, alert, she quickly dodged and didn’t let him touch her.
Mo Yan, in the front seat, ignored the man and woman bickering in the back seat. He focused on driving but subconsciously slowed down the speed of the car.
"Nanxi, I was wrong. Don’t be mad!"
Lu Yinchu apologized to her. "But, Nanxi... If one day I could hold your hand and walk as an ordinary couple on the streets, it would be my heart’s desire and life’s pursuit."
Something so simple becoming a lifelong pursuit was ironic, and yet it was incredibly hard to achieve.
Nanxi’s eyes flickered with a hint of sadness. She, too, yearned for such a scene, but she always felt that it was just a dream, unreal.
"Lu Yinchu..." Nanxi called out, but her eyes were not on him but on the streetlights and the crowd through the car window.
Lu Yinchu responded with a simple "Hmm", his voice magnetic and indifferent, as if he was emotionless. But should he be emotionless? He didn’t know.
"Lu Yinchu, if, I mean, if... if I still can’t make a good decision after a fortnight, if I still can’t let go..."
Nanxi bit her lip and took a deep breath and continued, "If that’s the case, will you...will you really disappear? Will you...leave?"
"Then, do you want me to leave?"
Lu Yinchu observed her side profile, noticing her trembling lashes and slight moistness. His heart ached.
Nanxi bit her lip and shook her head, "I don’t know..."
"Really, you don’t know?" Lu Yinchu held her hand tightly, so tightly that it hurt. Nanxi turned to look at him, her eyes were wet.
Lu Yinchu sighed, pulling her into his arms and gently patting her on the back, comforting, "Don’t think too much for now. Cherish what you have now, cherish the moment. At least now you’re with me, I haven’t left, and I’m beside you..."
Nanxi shed tears in his arms, grabbing the collar of his shirt, she said, "Lu Yinchu, do you think I’m so bad? I already have a boyfriend and still, I... it serves me right! I’ve hurt both of you, I’m not a good girl!"
"Nanxi..." Lu Yinchu became a bit anxious, pulling Nanxi out from his arms, looking into her eyes, "Nanxi, I don’t allow you to belittle yourself . Your life is yours. You have your own choices. You don’t owe anyone anything. You’re a good girl, always have been!"
If anyone is to blame, it should be him!
If he weren’t so greedy, if he could contain his burning desire, Nanxi would still be Nanxi, at Li Weihuan’s side. Even if she worries and fears for him, even if they have to strive laboriously for their future, at least she won’t be in such pain now!
It is his reluctance that has hurt her!
But now, even if it means hurting her, he can’t let go of her!
Early the next morning, when Nanxi got up to pack her things, she checked her phone and noticed some unread messages.
There were three in total.
The first one was from Lu Yinchu. It was sent at six in the morning. At that time, Nanxi was still asleep. She didn’t have a good sleep last night due to insomnia.
Message content: Remember, you don’t need to bring anything. All I need is you. I’ve prepared everything. At nine o’clock, Mo Yan will come to pick you up!
