The next day, Lu Jinnian was woken up by his phone ringing. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside.
He furrowed his brows in discomfort and picked up his phone. It was already ten in the morning. He was stunned for almost half a minute before he picked up the call.
The call was from the United States. There was an emergency meeting that required his presence, and the plane tickets had already been booked for him.
After hanging up, Lu Jinnian glanced at the time. There were still three hours before the plane would take off. He wasn't in a hurry to get out of bed. Instead, he hugged her and continued to close his eyes.
The soft and fragrant scent of her body and the lingering scent of their passionate night before filled his nostrils, giving him the illusion that he was going to die peacefully.
He really couldn't believe that after five months, he would one day sleep until dawn. It was as if in the past five months, he had been sitting in America night after night, constantly smoking. He couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't dare to fall asleep. It was just a nightmare.
No one knew how he survived those months in the United States, one second at a time.
He loved her. Even though she had treated him badly, he still loved her.
But at the same time, he hated her. He hated her for being so cruel to him.
He wanted to forget her, yet he thought about her every night.
The conflicting emotions tormented him to the point of insanity.
If it was possible, he would never want to mention that dark experience to anyone.
If it wasn't for Lucy, he would have died in a foreign country.
At that thought, Lu Jinnian slowly opened his eyes. His gaze landed on the watch that he had never taken off, no matter if it was day or night, or when he was bathing or swimming.
That night, when he was waiting outside Qiao Anhao's house, the scene and contents of her message flashed through his mind once again. He realized that he didn't feel the suffocating pain and despair from before. Instead, he felt a little dazed, as though it had been a lifetime ago.
So... the person he loved actually had such a strong power. She could push him into hell, bring him back to the human world, kill him with one blow, or bring him back to life.
But no matter what, she still liked him, didn't she?
If thirteen years of pain and love could be exchanged for the rest of his life holding hands, he would be satisfied and content.
After all, the heavens had treated him well.
With that thought, his lips curved into a slight smile. He turned his head to look at the exhausted Qiao Anhao, who was still sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but reach out to caress her face lovingly, before lowering his head to kiss her on the forehead. He didn't wake her up, but quietly entered the bathroom to shower and change his clothes. Then, he took the note and stuck it on the bathroom mirror. He packed his luggage and left.
Just as he was about to start the car, he seemed to have remembered something. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Lucy, it's me... No, she's fine... But I might have to trouble you and your husband to come over... En, I'll send you the address later, I have to go back to America... En, thank you..."
After hanging up, Lu Jinnian glanced at the villa that was bathed in sunlight through the car window before slowly reversing the car and driving away.
Although she had believed him last night, he would ask Lucy to come and clarify it for her.
Although he was greedy for her uneasiness, he didn't want her to be uneasy all the time.
