"Go on in.
You don't have to wait forto eat, but I'll join you for a late-night snack when I return!" Having said that, his fingers tightened around her hand in a reluctant manner before letting go.
As Nanxi walked in, her gaze flicked to the sunflower by the door.
Taking a deep breath, she was ushered in by Auntie Zhang.
Lu Yinchu got back into the car.
Mo Yan furrowed his brows, "Boss Lu, where to now?" Lu Yinchu pursed his lips and said two words, "Airport!" The airport terminal was bustling with masses of people coming and going.
In the rest area, a handsyoung man sat in a seat, phone in hand.
He had a bandage wrapped around his hand, but he didn't seem to mind at all, his focus solely on the phone screen.
He'd maintained this pose for nearly an hour now.
People around cast curious glances his way, suspecting that he might be going through a tough time, yet no one dared to offer their consolation.
A faint aura of hostility emanated from him! "Excuse me, may I sit here?" A young girl carrying luggage cover.
She flicked her long chestnut hair out of her face.
The overpowering scent of her perfcaused the man to frown slightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe turned his head to glance at her, "Could you perhaps move a bit to the side?" The scent was too overpowering for him! Initially, the girl intended to get angry at his rudeness, but upon seeing his face, she paused and held her tongue.
She had never seen such a handsface in all her twenty years of life, causing her heart to thump unnaturally! She smiled and said, "Hi, sorry about that.
I didn't mean to disturb you! But you're not used to strangers striking up a conversation with you, are you? Handsfellows like you usually find women beneath you, but don't lumpin with them, I'm not like them..." The man chuckled softly, too weary to respond, his gaze drifting away from her.
The girl continued, "Hey, don't be like that, it's so cold.
We're just two strangers meeting by chance.
From your accent, you're from the mainland too, right? So am I! Where are you from, maybe we're from the splace.
I'm from Shanghai.
What happened to your hand, are you hurt? Hey, where do you think you're..." Clearly uninterested in her incessant chatter, the man abruptly stood up and walked towards the airport exit.
The girl called out to him, but he ignored her! Watching his retreating figure, the girl felt a bit wronged.
Noticing that he had a limp, she stuck out her tongue, "What good is a handsface, turns out he is a cripple!" Outside the terminal entrance, the phone in the man's hand began to ring.
Upon seeing the nflashing on the screen, his eyes dimmed slightly as he answered, "Hello..." Licking his thin lips, he said, "Uncle." His voice was somewhat low.
In a restaurant that was highly characteristic of the mainland, Li Weihuan walked in and saw Lu Yinchu standing by the window, smoking.
His tall figure didn't seem overly powerful, instead emanating a sense of sorrow and desolation.
Mo Yan held his steps, went out, and gently closed the door, leaving the room for the two of them.
Li Weihuan pursed his lips, his knuckles slightly tightening.
He moved his lips, ready to call out to the man, but found that his throat was suddenly choked up, and he couldn't say anything! He had seen Lu Yinchu's desolate figure tand again.
When he saw it in the past, it was heartbreaking; now, it was guilt! Lu Yinchu turned to look at him, their eyes meeting.
They sat in silence for a few seconds.
Eventually, Lu Yinchu was the first to speak up, "Csit!" Li Weihuan nodded and went over.
He sat down on the chair after pulling it out.
On the table, there were a few dishes that he loved-all ordered according to his taste! A wave of grief washed over Li Weihuan's heart.
Lu Yinchu sat down opposite him, snuffed out the cigarette between his fingers, and told him, "Let's eat first!" Li Weihuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and picked up his chopsticks, eyes flickering slightly.
A piece of braised spare rib was placed in his bowl.
"This is your favorite.
But you should really prefer the ones I make!" Li Weihuan picked up the spare rib and placed it against his lips.
He took a bite, but he found it hard to swallow! "Uncle, I..." "Let's eat first and talk later!" Li Weihuan lowered his head.
"Uncle, I can't eat!" "Life always has to go on, Weihuan.
You're no longer a child!" "Uncle, is Nanxi...
with you?" After asking that question, Li Weihuan finally couldn't help but have his eyes start to redden.
He took a deep breath while swallowing the lump in his throat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe tried hard not to let his tears fall.
He could shed tears in front of anyone, but he knew he didn't have the right to do that in front of Lu Yinchu! He knew that he owed his uncle too much! Lu Yinchu looked at him and then nodded.
"Yes." Li Weihuan felt a jolt in his heart.
The fingers holding his chopsticks tightened.
Suppressing his breath, he looked at Lu Yinchu, "Uncle, she's my girlfriend!" His voice was almost pleading.
"Weihuan, do you think that I took your girlfriend away from you?" Li Weihuan bit his lip, tasting the metallic tang of blood.
He wanted to say "No." He knew better than anyone that the answer was "No." But right then and there, to win back Nanxi, he was willing to lie against his conscience and say "Yes!" "Perhaps." Then, Lu Yinchu gave a chuckle.
He said, "Weihuan, I have navigated through the world of business for many years and long ceased to be a gentleman. Just because of this, I find myself craving those good things from my past...
This time, treat it as my shamelessness and disgrace.
If you blme, I have no excuses.
But don't you have something to explain to me? Hm?" He looked at Weihuan, his eyes deep.
