Chapter 277: Chapter 274: He Wants to Reconcile
He shook his head unwittingly, “Strange, where did the person go?”
Having said that, he turned around and left to look for her elsewhere.
Only when he had left did Wen Xian’s heart that had been hanging in suspense slowly settle as if descending.
Time unknowingly trickled by.
He finally let go of her, but did not leave.
His forehead rested against hers.
This spot was shaded from the sunlight, cloaked in darkness.
It was as if their entwined gestures and private inner worlds couldn’t bear anyone else’s scrutiny.
Her small chest heaved subtly, and when her gaze met his, her eye sockets were clearly a bit red.
Their breaths intermingled, a hot breath spreading between them.
She bit her lip, seemingly waiting for him to speak.
Lu Xiao looked at her, the depths of his cool, elongated eyes finally seemed to carry a profound regret.
His lips trembled slightly, his voice extremely hoarse, “I regret it.”
At those words, Wen Xian’s eyes instantly welled up with heat.
Her small fists clenched tightly, a sour taste suddenly permeating her lips.
She struggled to control her trembling heart, looking at him, “So, what now…?”
What he planned to do.
Lu Xiao stared at her intently, his normally calm eyes slightly reddened.
He knew he was completely defeated.
Initially, he thought that leaving her was for her own good.
But when she expressed that the pain he had caused was deeper than that inflicted by her father, everything he had stood for really began to crumble.
He loved her so much, he couldn’t bear to see her harmed in the slightest.
Yet, it was he who had brought her harm.
She hurt, and so did he.
His decision, was it really right this time?
Between them, was there really no other way…?
No, he would still protect her.
He alone was not enough, but his family too, would protect her at all costs.
Once again, as Lu Xiao spoke, his throat moved slightly, his eyes moist and hot, he spoke each word deliberately:
“So, Wen Xian, can we not break up?”
Had he finally not been able to hold back?
Had he finally recognized everything…? If her life was without him, then it would be nothing but a mere survival.
Then what meaning would there be in her life.
She just looked at him, her eyes heating up, the tip of her nose sour.
But when she spoke again, she slowly said, “But Lu Xiao, we’ve already broken up…”
That sentence seemed to pierce him instantly, whitening his face.
A deep, indescribable panic sprang forth from his heart.
What did she mean by saying this…
Did she not want to reconcile with him…?
Seeing the panic growing in his eyes, Wen Xian tightened her grip, slightly averting her gaze.
Although she very much wanted to agree, she had to maintain her principles, to make him learn his lesson.
So speaking again, with her eyes reddening, she slowly said:
“You hurt me, yet you think you can just make everything right again, do you not realize, that what you did makes it impossible for me to trust you like before…”
As she said this, her eyelashes drooped slightly, her voice hoarse, “I admit I love you, very much, very much… but I am truly afraid, afraid that you will abandon me again, not want me.”
As she spoke, her tears were about to fall.
Lu Xiao’s heart felt like it was splitting, his eyes reddened, “Wen Xian, I’m sorry, I won’t do that again, please give me another chance, please…?”
