People were like that. Many times, what you wanted the most was what you couldn't have. It could break a person's heart and soul and ruin a person's life. And the most tragic thing was for a person to turn that bond into an obsession. In the end, it seemed like they'd forgotten what they'd wanted in the first place. Without the slightest awareness, they'd already taken the wrong path.
Liang Feifan turned around and walked out of the staircase. Ye Lian stood alone on the staircase quietly. She heard the elastic door close behind her with a bang. The corridor was instantly plunged into darkness.
In that instant, she felt cold.
Her hands clenched into tight fists by her sides. She instinctively bit her lip as a thought slowly surfaced in her mind. As long as Bai Lu was in this world, she, Ye Lian, would never be able to enter Liang Feifan's heart?
…
When Liang Feifan walked out of the hotel, the chauffeur respectfully opened the car door for him.
He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his suit jacket and bent over to get into the car. Liang Jiannan was already sitting beside him.
"Father, you didn't go home?" He thought Liang Jiannan would have gone home first. He hadn't expected him to be waiting for him in the car. Obviously, he had something to say to him. However, Liang Feifan had already guessed what he wanted to say.
Liang Jiannan nodded and frowned slightly. "I have something to say to you."
Seeing that his son didn't say anything, Liang Jiannan turned to look at him. The corners of his eyes were tired. Liang Jiannan sighed. "In the past, I've always been against you and Bai Lu getting married. At the time, I wholeheartedly wanted you and Ye Lian to be together. But after so many things happened … Now, I won't interfere with your marriage anymore. I know what I'm saying now, you might think … it's all in vain. But as your father, there are some things I still have to say."
"… Ah Fan, you don't have to make such a sacrifice for me."
Liang Feifan stretched out his hand and pressed the space between his eyebrows. He still felt upset. He took out another cigarette, lit it up, and took two puffs. The taste of nicotine could slightly numb those nerves. While he was smoking, he said, "You are my father. It's impossible for me to not care about you. But Father, you don't need to feel too much pressure. The Liang Clan is now in my hands. I can only make the Liang Clan stronger, and it will not fall in my hands. "
"…"
Liang Jiannan didn't seem to have anything to say. He paused and sighed. "Although you are my son, I do feel proud of you sometimes. Ah Fan, thank you. "
"… Also, if you have time, come home and stay for a few days. Your mother … she misses you very much." He glanced at Liang Feifan and paused. "Chin Jin-hee has always regretted what she did. These few months, she has lost a lot of weight. After all, we are family. Chin Jin-hee has said that she won't pursue the matter anymore. Shouldn't you let it go?"
Liang Feifan reached out and rolled down the car window. He reached out with the hand that was holding the cigarette. He flicked the ash off the cigarette and nodded. "I understand."
…
Oxford, England.
In a small town, there were many cafes by the roadside.
Xiang Longjin sat by the window and looked at the woman who was talking on the phone not far away. His heart was filled with warmth.
It had been so long. It had been more than half a year, right? He hadn't expected to see her again. Looking at her flat stomach, Xiang Longjin's heart was filled with ecstasy. Back then, when people said that she was pregnant with Liang Feifan's child, he didn't believe it. Of course, he didn't want to believe it.
After that, on the day of his wedding with Liang Jingxiao, he was suddenly taken away from A City by force. During this time, he was locked up in a small place in Seattle. Two months ago, by chance, he left that place. He thought of many ways and went to many places, but he didn't dare to return to A City.
He knew that the person who had forced him to leave A City was Liang Feifan. Liang Feifan was too powerful in A City and he was no match for him.
After wandering around so many countries, he finally came to England and met Bai Lu.
Was this fate?
Xiang Longjin's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement. Although he didn't know why she was in Oxford, he wouldn't let her go if he could meet her again.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher kk. I'll be there on time in the afternoon …" Bai Lu asked for leave and hung up the phone. When she turned around, she saw Xiang Longjin looking at her with a fervent expression. Deep in his eyes, there was a burning passion.
She frowned slightly and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
Actually, the two of them had been in love for so many years and understood each other very well. Back then, they were already talking about marriage. If Liang Jingxiao hadn't appeared, then they would be …
Bai Lu took a deep breath and stopped herself from thinking about it. Half a year had passed. Now that she thought about it, it felt like a century ago.
She put away her phone and sat opposite Xiang Longjin.
The two of them were silent for a while. It was Xiang Longjin who spoke first. "… Lulu, why are you here?"
"I'm going to school." Bai Lu smiled faintly. It was polite and gentle, but also a little distant. "I'm studying at SGA. What about you? "
Xiang Longjin was stunned and a little surprised. "SGA?"
It was impossible for a designer not to know about SGA. When Xiang Longjin and Bai Lu were dating, he already knew about this school. It was very special and people who could enter would definitely become great people after they graduated.
He didn't expect that she had already been reborn.
Xiang Longjin's gaze was a little dazed as he looked at the woman opposite him. Had she really been reborn?
She was prettier and more feminine than before. She exuded a special charm from head to toe. Actually, Bai Lu had always been good-looking. Perhaps it was because her taste in dressing and dressing had changed. She seemed to be softer and more attractive.
Xiang Longjin really couldn't control his own thoughts.
He was afraid that he would scare Bai Lu, so he quickly averted his gaze and tightened his grip on the cup. He coughed lightly and said, "I left City A previously and have been out all this time. I also didn't expect to meet you in a place like Oxford. Perhaps it's fate."
Bai Lu smiled and didn't say anything. Actually, when he suddenly disappeared when he married Liang Jingxiao, she still had some reservations about his behavior.
No matter what happened between them in the past, Liang Jingxiao was also devoted to him. She was pregnant, but he left just like that.
Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, "… Have you contacted Jingxiao?"
Xiang Longjin frowned as if he didn't want to mention this name. However, he still shook his head and said, "No."
"When you left, she was pregnant with your child. She was four months pregnant." Bai Lu's voice was very low, but every word she said was like a heavy hammer that fell on Xiang Longjin's heart. "Now, I've been in England for five months. That means she's about to give birth. Do you really not feel guilty at all? As a woman, bearing a child for you is a very brave thing to do. "
"Lulu …"
"Longjin, call me Bai Lu."
"…"
Xiang Longjin tightened his grip on the cup and muttered to himself for a moment. Then he asked in a low voice, "Don't tell me you really don't blame her at all? If it weren't for her, you and I wouldn't have … "
"What happened between you and me has nothing to do with Jingxiao." Bai Lu shook her head. Perhaps things had really changed with the passage of time, or perhaps Jingxiao had always been her friend. Now that she was Liang Feifan's sister, even if she loved her, she didn't want to blame her anymore. If it weren't for her scheming, she wouldn't have met Liang Feifan.
"How can it not be related? It was clearly her … "
"Forget it, Longjin. Don't say things like that again. You should know that no matter what happens, it takes two to tango. Do you think that Jing Xiao is the one who caused all this? Even if that's the case, it's all in the past. Do you know that? She has always been a rich young lady, but because of you, the groom went missing when they got married. The whole city knew about it and she ended up like this. She has also been punished. Now, the child in her stomach is yours, Xiang Longjin. If I'm not wrong, she should be giving birth soon. You should go back. "
"I can't go back."
Xiang Longjin replied a little angrily. He opened his mouth and said, "… Do you think I wanted to wander around overseas? Wasn't it all because of Liang …"
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Lu's phone rang.
Xiang Longjin's words were naturally cut off. He paused and watched as Bai Lu took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. Then, he saw her expression change slightly. Although it was a subtle change, he still caught it.
It was an expression of joy.
Then he saw her stand up and say to him, "I'm going out to take a call." Then she turned and walked out of the cafe.
…
The call was from Liang Feifan. Actually, after Bai Lu arrived in England, she changed her number, but she still remembered Liang Feifan's number. After she walked out of the cafe, she wasn't in a hurry to pick up the call. She just stared at the flashing numbers on her phone and listened to the ringtone as she sang cheerfully: "… But my dear, why aren't you by my side? How much time do we have to waste? No matter how sweet the phone call is, no matter how comforting the fax is, it's not enough to cope with the distance of not being able to hug you … My dear, why aren't you by my side? Living a day alone is like living a year …"
For some reason, these lyrics made Bai Lu's heart ache. Almost instinctively, she pressed the reject button.
She bit her lip and stared at the black screen. Less than ten seconds later, the phone rang again. It was the same number again. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
This time, she didn't press the reject button. Instead, she picked it up.
