Xia Weibao felt a lack of confidence.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into his eyes.
At this moment, his gaze was very calm, but she felt as if she could see through that calm surface of the sea and glimpse the raging waves beneath.
Therefore, she dared not face it.
"Where are you going?"
Lu Hualiang asked calmly, his eyes showing not a ripple, his facial muscles tensed.
Very calm, indeed very calm, but beneath this calmness lay a volcano that was already stirring, ready to erupt at any moment with a destructive flare!
"I... I’m going to shoot a film."
"Shoot a film?" Lu Hualiang’s eyes held a hint of mockery, "Where are you going to shoot, and for how long?"
"To G City, it might take one or two months."
Xia Weibao kept her head down the whole time as she closed her suitcase.
Then she stood up, "I’m leaving first."
Lu Hualiang moved his foot, blocking her path.
He looked down at her from his height.
He was tall, a whole head taller than Xia Weibao.
Add to that Xia Weibao’s lowered head, and it really felt like he was looking down on her from above.
Xia Weibao felt guilty. She pulled her suitcase in a different direction, trying to go past him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Hualiang stood in her way again.
Now there was no way out, no way to avoid him.
"Director Lu, please let me pass."
"What if I don’t let you?"
Xia Weibao looked up at him, glanced once, and then lowered her head again, "I need to shoot a film; I have a plane to catch."
Lu Hualiang’s chest heaved violently, he really feared that he couldn’t restrain himself, wanted to break her legs, tie her up, and keep her imprisoned for life!
Watching her dodging eyes, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand pulling her suitcase.
His repressed gaze carried a hint of ruthlessness, as he bit down hard, "Are you going to shoot, or are you trying to avoid me!"
"I..." Xia Weibao’s mouth opened then closed, "I really am going to shoot a film, you can ask Xu Jiayang and Leng Yan if you don’t believe me; my agent knows too."
"Xia Weibao!" Lu Hualiang suddenly roared, "What do you want me to do!"
In his eyes were helplessness, hurt, and many emotions she couldn’t understand but which caused her heart to ache.
This turned her world into complete chaos.
She really didn’t want to hurt him, not at all.
But she had no choice.
"Do you even have a heart?" Lu Hualiang grabbed her shoulders, his voice weak.
"Haven’t I been good enough to you, hmm?
I let you have your way in everything, even when you have another man in your heart and treat me as a substitute, I don’t care anymore; I just want you to stay by my side. Such a low requirement; why can’t you satisfy me!"
Seeing his pained expression, Xia Weibao’s heart ached, her mouth full of bitterness.
"Who needs your sorry!"
Lu Hualiang’s eyes were bloodshot, "What exactly do you want from me, say it, what must I do to make you stay."
Xia Weibao shook her head, "Don’t force me, you don’t understand anything..."
"How can I understand if you don’t talk! You’re always silent, never letting me know your thoughts, not even giving me a chance to understand you, how do you expect me to understand?
I am human, not a god; even I will get tired when you are always so indecisive and keep me at arm’s length.
What are you so concerned about? I don’t need you to reciprocate my feelings. It doesn’t matter if you don’t love me; I love you, that’s enough for me. My demands are already so low, does staying by my side cause you that much pain."
Xia Weibao was pushed to tears, still shaking her head incessantly, "You don’t understand..."
"What don’t I understand, tell me!"
"I don’t want to be unfaithful; I just want to preserve the sentiment I have with my husband, don’t push me!"
