"Later on, I understood that you have a tenacity that is too attractive. Just like how you feel about Liang Feifan, no matter how big the obstacle is, it doesn't seem to be able to pull you back. It's as if you only have one path in life and Liang Feifan is at the end of that path. The way you move forward bravely makes my heart ache, but it also makes me yearn for you. "
"… Actually, I'm not envious of Liang Feifan for having Bai Lu. What I'm envious of is that there is a woman in this world who is willing to do anything for love. She is brave, tenacious, and refuses to bow down to fate. "
"Do you know? Bai Lu, to me, the way you are right now makes you glow. You are too attractive. Can you tell me? Why? How much do you love Liang Feifan? Don't tell me that in this world, other than Liang Feifan, you can't see the good in any other man? Yes, I admit that Liang Feifan is not bad, but I don't think that he is the best in the world. When a better man stands in front of you and is willing to treat you wholeheartedly, will you really … not be moved at all? "
Actually, what he didn't say out loud was probably — Bai Lu, I'm also very good. Can't you see my good?
Whatever Liang Feifan has money, I, Chu Weiye, have it too. Whatever Liang Feifan doesn't have, I have it too. Whatever Liang Feifan can give you, I can give you too. Whatever Liang Feifan can't give you, I can still give you …
But you can't see my good. You can't see that I have always been by your side. You can't see that I also want to hold your hand and give you happiness.
…
Bai Lu could understand Chu Weiye's words, whether it was the literal meaning or the deeper meaning he wanted to convey to her.
To be honest, she was a little flattered.
It was impossible for a woman not to feel anything when faced with an outstanding man's confession, whether it was from the front or the back. She didn't hate Chu Weiye anymore, so his words still had a certain impact on her.
But love, to her, wasn't something that only needed a single impact to be enough.
As for her heart, it was just as he had said. She had already given it to another man. It was impossible for such a small place to accommodate a second person.
…
Bai Lu looked down and clenched her fists on the table. She took a deep breath and finally said slowly, "You're right. My life has long become a road, and at the end of it, there is only one Liang Feifan. Actually, I never knew I was such a stubborn person, and I'm not the kind of woman who loves more than the heavens. But my love is very rational. You said that I hated him for the grudges of the previous generation, but I know very well that he suffered more than I did. I can't just hate him to free myself and let everything return to its original starting point. Perhaps this is all fated and no one can change it. It's like God is playing a joke on me. Under these circumstances, I still want to know him and fall in love with him, but … I can't give up on him. You said that his sister stole my boyfriend. I don't know what to say. If it's mine, it's mine. If it's not mine, whoever steals it, won't they leave just the same? You said that his mother … Yes, this is indeed the thing that bothers me the most. I admit that I used to think that he was too biased. In his heart, kinship is probably the most important thing. He wanted to protect his mother and gave up on my mother, his principles, and me … "
Chu Weiye frowned. He probably knew that she wouldn't reject him smoking in front of her, so he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth and took two puffs.
Then he heard her continue, "But later, I found out … that it wasn't like that."
"…? Perhaps, everyone would think that Liang Feifan would choose love between love and kinship in the end without hesitation. But that's not what I saw. He chose to minimize the problem, which indeed made me feel wronged. But he desperately apologized to me, grabbed my hand, and refused to let go. I finally knew that when he stood at such a high position, he didn't only have to consider himself. He had to consider everyone in his Family Liang, including his grandfather … his father, and his mother. "
Chu Weiye narrowed his eyes and smiled a little coldly. "Do you think you're very noble?"
"No, I'm very insignificant. Who doesn't yearn for a dedicated love? But who can say that the love he gave me wasn't dedicated? He let me down in some ways, but I also saw that he was working hard for my sake. When we couldn't be together, Family Liang was against it, but he put a ring on my finger and proposed to me without hesitation. "
"…"
"Actually, to put it bluntly, love is just tolerance, compromise, and understanding … Maybe I'm not good enough, but I've always been working hard."
Chu Weiye's hand that was holding the cigarette paused. A trace of pain flashed in the depths of his lowered eyes.
What he envied the most was the persistence she had for another man in her eyes.
Chu Weiye reached out and flicked the ash off the cigarette. When he looked up again, all the emotions in his eyes had been restrained. He looked at her with a deep gaze that no one could see any trace of emotion. "I know what you're thinking. I think this trip wasn't in vain."
"…" Bai Lu didn't quite understand. She frowned and looked at him.
The corners of Chu Weiye's mouth twitched. He threw the remaining half of his cigarette into the ashtray beside him. "In the past, I used to think that if you want something, you have to get it. That's the most correct thing to do. The so-called 'if you love someone, you have to fulfill her happiness' is nonsense. That's something only a coward would do. But when it comes to you … Bai Lu, I really couldn't bring myself to hit Liang Feifan when she was down and think of ways to make you throw yourself into my arms. So in the end … I still chose to be a coward. "
Chu Weiye stood up, picked up his jacket from the side, and hung it on his wrist. He looked down at Bai Lu from above. Before she could completely react to what he had just said, he smiled again and said, "Today's meal is on you. Also, I'll help you settle Xiang Longjin's matter. Remember everything I do for you. If one day I come looking for you, no matter where you are, remember to treat me to a meal. Okay, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself in England. "
"Chu Weiye!"
Bai Lu hurriedly stood up. Chu Weiye had already left his seat. She walked around the table and chased after him, blocking his way. She couldn't understand what he had just said. What exactly did he mean?
"Shouldn't you make yourself clear?"
"Huh?"
"What coward … Can you make yourself clear? I don't really understand. Also, you didn't eat much during this meal. " Bai Lu pointed behind her at the seat he had just sat at and sighed. "Did you come all the way from City A to England just to say these few words? But I'm still in a daze listening to you. "
"Don't stop me, Bai Lu."
Chu Weiye's voice was low as he looked into Bai Lu's eyes with an unbearable burning heat. He said word by word, "Actually, you don't have to understand. You just have to listen and remember my words. But don't stop me. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold myself back and will do anything to you. "
"…"
Bai Lu was probably really frightened by the burning heat in his eyes. She was still a little afraid of Chu Weiye, so she subconsciously shrunk her neck and actually stood to the side.
Chu Weiye saw this and sneered. He took a step forward and suddenly reached out his hand. However, he hesitated for a second in mid-air and then gently placed it on Bai Lu's shoulder.
"In the future, no matter what happens, remember that when you face me today, you can still be so persistent about that man in City A. Don't be shaken. I will give you my blessings."
Chu Weiye walked out of the restaurant. His chauffeur quickly got out of the car parked by the roadside and opened the door for him. Before he got into the car, Chu Weiye took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it and took two puffs before bending over to get in.
As the car slowly moved forward, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Tell Ye Zijie that I'm free tomorrow. If he wants to see me, then let's meet tomorrow."
Bai Lu did not attend classes for the whole day. When she left the restaurant, she looked at the time. The SGA class should have ended by now, so she simply rode back to her apartment.
She did not attend classes for two days not because she was afraid that she would fall behind in her classes. In fact, the SGA class had prepared textbooks for them, so most of the content that they had to attend every day was in the textbooks. Bai Lu made herself something to eat and flipped through a few pages of the books. When she was almost done, her phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Bai Lu hesitated. Should she pick it up? It was Demon. He had run away without saying a word in the morning, and now he was calling again. Bai Lu had a headache. What would he say later?
However, her phone kept ringing. Bai Lu thought that she could not possibly avoid Demon for a few months, right? She still had to attend classes, so she would definitely bump into him and go together. Moreover, young foreigners should not be the kind of people who could not let go …
After comforting herself, her phone finally rang for the second time. She pressed the answer button.
When Demon heard that the call was connected, he said impatiently, "Lu, why didn't you come to class today? Is it because of me?"
Bai Lu was speechless.
"I'm sorry. Did I give you a lot of pressure? If that's the case, I'm willing to apologize to you. I really didn't know that you had a husband … I'm also very troubled, Lu, I … "
"No, Demon, don't think so much. I didn't come to class today because I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll go to class tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"Then you … won't hate me, right?"
