"Bai Lu trusts you more. You've taught her before, so I can't think of anyone else to accompany her to England. I'm worried about her going alone. She hopes that I'll give her some space, so I can't push her too hard. So, go with her. This time, no matter what request you make, I'll agree to it. "
"I'm also worried that Family Ye will do something bad to her. I'm worried that I won't be able to protect her. "
"You have to help me take good care of her. I owe you this favor. "
…
Buck felt that feelings were really f * cking magical. Liang Feifan was someone who never cared about anyone or anything. He only cared about the benefits of the business world. Yet, he was willing to go to such lengths for a woman.
No matter what she said, he was willing to settle for the next best thing.
…
"I can't." Bai Lu suddenly spoke in a very low voice. She only said three words, but it seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Buck looked at the checkpoint in his hand. He had passed the last checkpoint. He raised his eyebrows and put down the PSP. He turned to look at the sorrowful woman beside him and shook his head. "Are you torturing yourself or him? Is it because you're unhappy with what Family Liang did to your father over the past 20 years? Bai Lu, although I'm not very involved in the business world, I've heard a little about Ye Zijie. He's not a good person. What happened over the past 20 years might not necessarily be Feifan's father's fault. Actually … "
"I know."
Bai Lu nodded. She pursed her lips tightly and held her breath. She pressed hard on the plane ticket in her hand with her thumb and index finger. Through her misty tears, her vision was indistinct as she stared at the string of English words for the destination. Her voice was choked with sobs. "I'm not torturing him. I know … I know everything. I've never blamed him, but I can't face him at this time and live under the same roof as him. I've always told myself that even if it's my mother, I can ignore it. But what about my father? Yes, maybe it has nothing to do with Liang Jiannan, but … my father died in front of Family Liang. You won't understand how I feel … I also feel like my soul is being torn apart. I can't bear to leave, but I have no choice but to leave. "
There was a feeling that others would not be able to empathize with you even if you said it out loud.
Bai Lu frantically reached out to wipe away her tears.
Buck sighed softly and shook his head. He wasn't a woman and didn't really understand women's thoughts. However, he didn't feel good seeing her so sad. "Alright, I know. Don't think about it anymore. Actually, England isn't that far away. Besides, don't you have me with you?"
This was the first time in his life that he was particularly forthright with a woman. He patted his shoulder. "Although my shoulder doesn't give you a sense of security like Fei Fan's, if you want, I can lend you my shoulder, okay?"
Buck had always been more serious when he was with her. It was rare for him to be half-joking with her at this moment. Bai Lu's depressed mood seemed to have dissipated. She sniffled and nodded. "Thank you, Sir."
He pushed the door open and entered. He saw Liang Feifan with one hand on the large office desk and the other holding a cigarette. The entire office was filled with the strong smell of smoke. His handsome features were dark and gloomy. Half of his face was hidden in the smoke. The man, who was already enigmatic to begin with, seemed even more unfathomable now.
Guan Chao didn't hesitate. He glanced at the phone in his hand and said, "Mr. Liang, Madam has already … boarded the plane."
Liang Feifan was smoking. When he heard this, he paused and moved his long fingers on the desk. After a moment, he nodded. Because he smoked too much, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke. "Guan Chao, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
Guan Chao was stunned.
In reality, Liang Feifan had always been the one who led him forward. He had always done things according to Liang Feifan's instructions. He had never asked himself, "Am I doing the right thing?"
But now, he was suddenly asking himself this question.
For the first time, Guan Chao felt that, in the face of love, a man as strong as him was probably just an ordinary man.
He had watched the two of them walk all the way. They had gone through so much to be together, but in the end, because of something like that, they had no choice but to let go.
Guan Chao sighed inwardly and said, "Mr. Liang, I'm sure Madam will understand you."
Liang Feifan nodded. He glanced at the cigarette in his hand and then at the ashtray full of cigarette butts. He remembered how she had softly said to him before, "Stop smoking." He suddenly felt bitter in his throat. He pinched out the cigarette butt in frustration and pointed at the window. He instructed Guan Chao, "Open the window."
Guan Chao nodded and walked over to open it.
As soon as the windows of the 20-story building were opened, the wind outside seemed to be particularly strong. It blew away the smell of smoke in the room and also blew away the dark clouds that had shrouded Liang Feifan's heart.
Part of the reason she wanted to leave was because she wanted to send Bai Lu away. Another part of the reason was naturally because he wanted to send her away. Nothing had changed, so now he didn't have time to think about anything else. If he didn't deal with the matter at hand, perhaps she really wouldn't be able to come back.
Liang Feifan frowned. He glanced at the newspaper and happened to see the headline that gave him a headache. He reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on with Director Wu?"
The newspaper had only been published this morning. It was obvious that someone had deliberately reported it, saying that Director Wu had deliberately concealed an infectious disease and that there was evidence of his corruption and bribery. Liang Feifan knew Director Wu very well. If he had deliberately concealed an infectious disease, it was obvious that he was talking about Bai Lu. However, their timing was very accurate. They had just sent Bai Lu away this afternoon, and the headline was published today. It looked very real. There were even a few obscure photos that were all taken at No.1 People's Hospital. It was obvious that they were talking about Bai Lu being infected with SARS.
However, in Liang Feifan's impression of Director Wu being corrupt and accepting bribes was not that kind of person.
Guan Chao quickly explained, "As soon as the newspaper was published, I've already sent someone to investigate. It should be someone from No.1 People's Hospital, but … I can guess who it is."
"Of course I can guess. He finally can't hold back anymore. I originally wanted to keep him for a while, but since he is ready to make a move, you should go and help him." Liang Feifan stood up, brushed off the ash on his body, frowned, and said: "There is nothing to keep him.
Let's get that young nurse to expose it herself. This matter must be handled cleanly. Don't let the people at the Family Ye find out. "
Guan Chao understood. "Yes, Mr. Liang."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Guan Chao added, "Mr. Liang, Miss Ye Lian called twice before this. I blocked both calls, but she seems to have something to discuss with you."
Liang Feifan narrowed one eye. His sexy thin lips curved into a sinister smile. "It's about time. It's her turn."
…
Five months later.
Oxford, England. This small city was especially quiet. It was famous in Oxford University and was a university town.
sga。
Bai Lu had already been studying here for five months and had learned a lot. Most of the students who gathered here had a good foundation in design. The tutor who taught them was a world-renowned architect. Bai Lu had only seen his name and photo in the news before. Now, such a living man was standing in front of her and teaching a class every day. She couldn't help but recall the first day she came to this classroom. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. If she had been so excited when she first met Buck, then when she saw this architect who only had King's name on each of his works, she couldn't describe how excited she was.
SGA had given her a lot of surprises. Once she was fully immersed in her studies, she didn't even have time to be sad and miss him.
When the bell rang, the professor said in fluent English, "Remember to hand in your homework tomorrow."
Bai Lu closed the half-completed design in her hand. Immediately, a British man came over. He had come in with her. His family was very famous in England and he had a special interest in design. It was said that he had stood out in a design competition and that was why he had the chance to enter SGA.
Recently, he had been pestering Bai Lu to learn Chinese. Occasionally, he would speak a few sentences in Chinese, but it was very clumsy. "… Lu, do you want to go to the bar tonight?"
His Chinese was not standard. The word 'bar' was twisted around his tongue and it sounded like 'acne'.
Bai Lu frowned. She had been here for five months and her spoken English had improved a lot. "No, I have to finish my homework tonight. I have to hand it in tomorrow."
"It's my birthday tonight."
"…"
"You Chinese seem to like to give presents on your birthday. Actually, we British people have this habit too. But you don't have to give me a present. I just want you to come. " The first half of the sentence was said in fluent English, but the second half was said in clumsy Chinese. "You won't refuse to give me face, right?"
Since it was his birthday, of course, the birthday boy was the most important. Bai Lu had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this man called Demon. It was also because she had once watched an American TV series – 'The Vampire Diaries'. At that time, she liked the male lead very much. He had the same name as him. Moreover, this guy had a pair of deep blue-gray eyes and a very well-defined nose. Therefore, Bai Lu would agree to his requests as long as they weren't too excessive.
"Okay, what time?" Seeing that she had agreed, Demon pulled her hand without hesitation and walked towards the door. "There's no need to wait. I'll take you there now. Accompany me for dinner tonight."
