Truth be told, at the very beginning, he hated. He hated Li Weihuan, hated Qi Qun, but in the end, he came to understand - the person he should hate the most was himself!
If he had done well enough, protected her well enough, she would not have left!
So, all the responsibility was his!
Li Weihuan’s gaze flickered and he lightly pressed his lips together, then said, "Thank you! Mo Yan!"
He paused before he said, "Maybe I should call you brother-in-law for once! Finally... I’m sorry!"
Mo Yan didn’t say a word, he reached out and closed the door, creating a separation between him and Li Weihuan!
As he left the hotel and got into his car, he finally reached out to touch his face, only to realize it was wet with tears!
Half an hour after Mo Yan left, Li Weihuan dialed a number.
"I will be rushing to the airport immediately, catching the midnight flight back. Can you book me a ticket... yes, right now..."
"No need to rest, I want to go back right now... also, tell my mom that I will see her tonight. I need to talk to her!"
The next morning, Nanxi woke up early. Sister Zhang said Lu Yinchu was still sleeping and asked Nanxi to wake him up!
Nanxi was a little confused and remembered the Lu Yinchu from last night. He seemed different, almost... sad.
She didn’t know why he was , she didn’t ask either. She just found it strange, wasn’t he supposed to handle official business yesterday? Was he tired from handling company matters? Was he irritated by clients? Or, maybe what he actually had to handle was private matters?
Nanxi shook her head. She would be leaving today. She had a flight at ten o’clock and soon, she would be leaving this place where she had lived for ten years!
The one who should be sad was her, right?
But revisiting this place made her realize that her emotional home had changed. The most important person to her was no longer around.
Lu Yinchu woke up at nine in the morning. He had a slight headache. Yesterday, when he returned to his room, he smoked till three in the morning and didn’t fall asleep until it was nearly dawn, so he didn’t have a good sleep!
Mo Yan was waiting for him at the door, looking anxious, "President Lu!"
Lu Yinchu frowned, he had a bad feeling about this!
"Last night Weihuan returned to H city. He went to Li’s house and made a scene. After that, he left and Qi Qun fainted out of anger and was taken to the hospital... The whole Li family is in chaos!"
Lu Yinchu pressed his lips together and after a pause, asked, "Does Grandpa know about this?"
"He hasn’t found out yet. But I’m afraid that Qi Qun will create a scene..."
"Don’t worry, she won’t dare!" Lu Yinchu said indifferently.
He’d anticipated this outcome, just didn’t expect it would come so quickly!
When he went downstairs, Nanxi wasn’t there. Lu Yinchu frowned, and Sister Zhang explained, "Miss Gu has gone to say goodbye to the neighbors. Such a thoughtful girl, Miss Gu actually has great people skills, even though she doesn’t talk much!"
Without saying anything, Lu Yinchu sat down to have his breakfast.
About ten minutes later, Nanxi returned. Seeing Lu Yinchu finishing his meal and standing up, she paused.
Lu Yinchu at this very moment was totally different from yesterday evening. He was still noble and elegant, and exuded an irresistible grace and charm that captivated people’s hearts.
This made Nanxi wonder whether what happened last night was real.
Lu Yinchu stepped forward, and there was a hint of reluctance in his voice.
Nanxi nodded. Yes, they were going back. After they went back, everything should come to an end.
A hand gently drew her into his embrace, a sigh entered her ear, carrying a hint of lingering melancholy. "We’re leaving, and I really can’t bear to!"
Spending time together , was a luxury for him. And deep down inside, he yearned for this luxury to last a lifetime.
All the luggage was packed up and the gifts were already loaded in the trunk by Mo Yan. Seeing this, Nanxi realized there were quite a lot!
She couldn’t help but frown.
On the way to the airport, as time was getting tight, Mo Yan could only speed up the car.
Watching the familiar scenery outside the window gradually disappear, Nanxi couldn’t help feeling sad.
A hand landed on her shoulder, Nanxi’s eyes flickered slightly, but she didn’t move.
The man’s voice came from beside her, soft as silk. "Don’t worry, we will have the chance to come back! Trust me!"
Nanxi pressed her lips together, will they really have another chance?
She didn’t think so. Not at all.
Sitting on the plane with Lu Yinchu for the first time, even though it was only a two-hour journey, she believed this memory would last for a very long time!
"You can take a nap if you want. I’ll wake you up when we arrive."
"I won’t sleep. I slept a lot last night!" Nanxi declined.
"Then, we can talk. Time will pass while we’re talking!"
"Can I talk about anything?" Her eyes flashed with a hint of longing as she looked at him.
Lu Yinchu reached out to pinch her face, "What do you want to talk about?"
Nanxi blushed and leaned against his arm, "Nothing much, just want to know more about your private life!"
"Private life? My private life is just like you said before... very boring!" Lu Yinchu tried to dodge the question.
But Nanxi wouldn’t be sidetracked so easily, she asked him, "Don’t beat around the bush. I will ask and you answer. Just reply with ’yes’ or ’no’. That’s it. Understand?"
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips, pulled her closer, nodded, and said, "Go ahead and ask!"
"Your name is Lu Yinchu?"
"You’re thirty-two years old this year?"
"You’re a very responsible man?"
"You should answer ’yes’! Don’t say ’of course’, follow the rules!" Nanxi reminded him.
Lu Yinchu sighed. "Alright, yes!"
"You think being responsible is very important for a man?"
"You’ve always been loyal and responsible in love?"
"Did your first love start before you were eighteen?"
"At twenty-four years old?"
"At twenty-four you were a responsible man?"
"At the age of twenty-four, you met a girl?"
"Did you fall in love with her?"
"Did you pour out all your sense of responsibility for love onto that girl?"
"From the age of twenty-four to now, at thirty-two, eight years in total, have you always loved her?"
"You loved her for eight years, and for some reason, you lost her. Two years ago, you met her again, but she was already someone else’s girlfriend, so you chose to avoid her and give up?"
"Two years later, you met her again, and you found that you couldn’t control the love you still had for her. So you decided to approach her and take her away?"
"Just reply. No need to call my name!" Nanxi reminded him.
His lips moved slightly, "Nanxi, many questions can’t be simply answered with ’yes’ or ’no’!"
"Alright, let’s skip this question. The next question must be answered. This question can indeed be answered with a ’yes’ or ’no’!"
She lifted her head to look at him, their eyes locked, hers clear as day. "Lu Yinchu, I’m asking you, is the girl you have loved for eight years named Gu Nanxi?"
