If it had been before, Nanxi would not have cared, but after being ignored and tormented for two days, she was a little neurotic, especially as rumors were rampant on the streets about Lu Yinchu and a mysterious woman.
She came across newspaper reports everywhere she went. Hearing the discussions about Lu Yinchu made her feel extremely uncomfortable!
Moreover, the latest version of the report suggested that the woman was Lu Yinchu’s old love...
Nanxi snorted at the time. Wasn’t she Lu Yinchu’s first love?
However, she later realized that Lu Yinchu’s affection for her did not mean he had not dated other girls he found appealing!
There’s a saying-’no smoke without fire’, yet also ’no waves without wind’!
People, especially men, get lonely!
Moreover, when she called him the other day, even if she didn’t ask, he should’ve known what she wanted to say. He was a smart man, why didn’t he call back to explain?
So, it is also possible that he had dated girls in the past who he had a favorable impression of, but perhaps did not reach the level of liking!
Yang Su said that Lu Yinchu went to C City to provoke her, but now that she had broken up with Li Weihuan, what was the provocation for?
Clearly, he had gone to see another woman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have even had time to send her a message. Right?
In the past, when she was with Li Weihuan, she would occasionally miss him, but more than that, she was worried.
For instance, during the year and a half when Li Weihuan was in the United States, he often called her. If a few days passed without a call, she had no other thoughts!
She felt that it was great. She understood Li Weihuan’s feelings for her. If he didn’t call, it meant he was busy. Being busy meant he was studying hard, which was truly good!
But what about Lu Yinchu, the man who showed up before her two months ago?
His attraction to her was intense, alluring, but this pull always carried a hint of fantasy, making her feel it was unreal!
Upon reflection, her reluctance to be with Lu Yinchu was not just because of guilt over Li Weihuan but also her own inner insecurity!
She wanted to grasp a sense of reality, to know that Lu Yinchu indeed existed, that she had truly fallen in love with such a person, and was genuinely being loved!
Lu Yinchu had told her he loved her and he had forced her to say the same. But she could not utter it; she felt the word ’love,’ when spoken, always weighed too heavily!
If she wasn’t ready to bear such weight, she’d rather not say it!
She believed that Lu Yinchu felt the same!
His eight years of waiting had conveyed this love, testified before her this love. This profound love should have been precious, wasn’t it?
This preciousness, wasn’t it worthy of his frequent reminiscing? Wasn’t it worth his persistent longing for her?
She felt as though she had been deeply intoxicated by Lu Yinchu, and the intoxication was incurable!
Suddenly, she felt somewhat heartbroken. Her fingers, holding her cell phone, clenched tighter and tighter until, without knowing why, tears began to fall!
She was a bit resentful towards Lu Yinchu, for his business trip at this critical time, for lending his shoulder to another woman, for not contacting her for three or four days, for so easily letting go of her hand!
But why was she so stupid and foolish, clearly uncertain about her feelings towards Lu Yinchu, still unfamiliar with him, yet so deeply captivated by him...
Deeply in love with him, placing him in such an important position in her heart...
Her tears fell, no matter how hard she tried to stop them, they fell onto her phone.
The message on the screen was from Lu Yinchu, sent that morning—"Naughty wife, goodnight!"
It felt like a dream!
On the twelfth of July, Lu Yinchu’s fifth day on a business trip, Liang Youquan, and Xu Mei went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got their marriage certificate!
The family happily sat down for a feast, planning to hold a simple banquet on the twenty-eighth!
Xu Mei suggested that there was no need for this, just having a family meal would’ve been nice, but Grandma didn’t want to short-change her, or her own son!
A second marriage was still a marriage. The Liang Family had lived here for more than a decade, or even two. They needed to invite the neighbors. They couldn’t lose face!
Xu Mei just smiled without saying anything. Liang Youquan coughed awkwardly and kept silent.
Liang Qiaoqiao quietly sat on the side, showing no expression. The person sitting next to her, was Chen Juncai!
