He poured all of his feelings into her and kissed her for a long time before they reluctantly parted.
When Xu Wennuan slowly lifted her wet eyelashes, Lu Bancheng was already staring at her with his deep, dark eyes. His eyes shone with a deep emotion that she couldn't understand.
Because of the intense kiss, his breathing was a little unsteady. He stared at her eyes for a long time until he saw her eyes clear and she was pulled back from the passionate kiss. Only then did he raise his hand and gently touch her soft, fair cheeks. He said very carefully, "Nuannuan, other than not being with you, I can agree to any of your requests. It's not that I don't want you, but right now, I can't afford to have you."
"Then don't want me …" If this had happened two years ago, Xu Wennuan, who had just experienced Wu Hao's betrayal, might not have mustered the courage to pursue love like this. But it's different now. He and Lu Bancheng have already taken 99 steps, and the last step should be taken by her. Since he says he can't afford to have me, it's fine as long as he can accept me. With this thought in mind, Xu Wennuan looked back into Lu Bancheng's eyes and said in a more determined and serious tone than before, "I'll give myself to you. You just have to accept me."
Lu Bancheng's throat tightened, and the words he wanted to say to convince her got stuck in his throat. After a while, he forced himself to say, "Nuannuan, one day, you'll regret the choice you're making now."
Lu Bancheng was completely silent.
He told himself in his heart to stop listening to her. If he did, he would definitely be bewitched by her and surrender.
But her voice seemed to be enchanted. No matter how hard he tried to avoid it, each and every word drilled into his ears.
"Lu Bancheng, you know that I have nothing to give you. The only thing I can give you is that I'll never leave or abandon you for the rest of my life."
Three years later.
Three years. A thousand days and nights. During these thousand sunrises and sunsets, Xu Wennuan had never seen Wu Hao again. She didn't think about him often. Occasionally, when she passed by Wu Hao's office building, she would vaguely recall that there was a man named Wu Hao who had participated in her life.
The last time she heard news about Wu Hao was three years ago. Wu Hao, whose career was flourishing, sold his company that had just been listed on the stock exchange for a large amount of cash. He turned from a business elite that everyone talked about into an invisible tycoon. Overnight, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and no one knew where he went.
As summer passed, so did Qin Zhi 'ai's birthday.
Xu Wennuan had purposely chosen a day with good weather two weeks in advance to go to the mall to pick out a gift for Qin Zhi 'ai.
After going back and forth for more than two hours, Xu Wennuan finally decided on a necklace that had just been released on the market.
Xu Wennuan was led by a salesperson to the front desk to pay when a young woman in her early twenties walked over with a man in a suit and leather shoes. They were talking and laughing.
Even though they hadn't seen each other in three years, Xu Wennuan could still easily recognize the man as Wu Hao, who had disappeared from the face of the earth a long time ago.
Even though their past grievances had been cleared up, Xu Wennuan's footsteps still slowed a little when she saw him.
After replying to the young woman, Wu Hao noticed her from the corner of his eye. He raised his head and looked in her direction.
Wu Hao's expression didn't change, and even his eyes didn't show the slightest bit of emotion.
"Hao, I just went to the other stores, and none of them look as good as the set of sapphire jewelry that we first saw. Why don't I buy a set?" The young woman, who didn't notice anything amiss, held onto Wu Hao's arm and asked for his opinion in a coquettish tone.
When Wu Hao heard her voice, he withdrew his gaze from Xu Wennuan and turned his head to look into the young woman's eyes. With a deep and profound expression, he replied obediently, "I have no objections as long as you like it."
When the young woman heard Wu Hao's reply, her smile became even more radiant. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Wu Hao's cheek.
Wu Hao didn't avoid her kiss. He just pulled her closer to him and walked past Xu Wennuan with her.
Xu Wennuan also lifted her feet and walked toward the cashier.
Behind her, Wu Hao and the girl did not go far. Perhaps it was because Wu Hao had generously bought the girl millions of yuan worth of jewelry, the girl was very happy. She vaguely heard the girl say to Wu Hao in a crisp voice, "Ah Hao, I love you."
As the young woman's voice faded, Xu Wennuan took out her bank card from her purse and handed it to the cashier. As the cashier swiped the card, she heard Wu Hao reply in a low and gentle voice, "I love you too."
"Miss, please enter your password," the cashier said with a smile.
Xu Wennuan raised her hand with a smile and keyed in the password. After signing her name, she accepted the wrapped jewelry and walked out of the store with the sales assistant accompanying her.
After Xu Wennuan had walked a few steps away, the sales assistant returned to the store. Wu Hao, who had been standing in front of the display window with his female companion, turned his head and looked out of the store through the bright glass.
Xu Wennuan was standing by the elevator with her purse in her hand, talking on the phone.
The smile on her face was exceptionally radiant. Less than a minute later, a tall man walked up to her with a one-year-old boy in his arms.
The boy was sucking on a pacifier, and when he saw her, he immediately extended his arms for a hug.
Xu Wennuan passed the bag in her hand to Lu Bancheng and took the little boy.
Lu Bancheng lowered his head slightly and whispered something to Xu Wennuan. She nodded her head gently, and Lu Bancheng put his arm around her waist as they got into the elevator and headed downstairs.
Even though they had only taken two steps, Wu Hao could clearly see that Lu Bancheng's steps were a little unsteady, probably because his leg injury hadn't fully recovered.
Just as the two of them were about to disappear from Wu Hao's field of vision, he saw Lu Bancheng say, "Nuannuan."
Xu Wennuan lifted her head in confusion, and Lu Bancheng's lips moved again. "I love you."
Xu Wennuan's eyes crinkled into a smile. Her side was facing Wu Hao, so he couldn't see her lips clearly, but he guessed that she had probably replied with "I love you too," because the smile on Lu Bancheng's face deepened.
The little boy in Xu Wennuan's arms grinned when he saw his parents smile, and the pacifier fell to the ground. Then, his smiling face turned into a crying face, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Then, the family of three disappeared from Wu Hao's field of vision.
… …
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Xu Wennuan passed the baby to Lu Bancheng and got into the driver's seat.
After paying the parking fee, they started driving. Xu Wennuan looked through the windshield at the bright, glaring sun in front of her and thought about how she had just met Wu Hao at the jewelry store. Then, the scenes of the past flashed before her eyes, and she suddenly felt a little curious. If Wu Hao hadn't told me the truth back then, if I had really thought that Lu Bancheng and Guoguo were going to get married, would Lu Bancheng have really lost me?
Curious, Xu Wennuan asked, "Bancheng, if I hadn't known anything back then, if I hadn't gone to the hospital to look for you, and if I hadn't been with you, what would your life have been like?"
Lu Bancheng, who was pinching his son's face, paused and thought for a moment before saying, "I would have never married."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched, but Xu Wennuan still smiled and replied, "Aren't you silly?"
Lu Bancheng's eyes also revealed a hint of a smile. "Am I?"
After a pause, Lu Bancheng's expression became somewhat serious. "For you, not to mention being silly, I would be willing to die."
That was the end of the article.
Ye Feiye, 17 January 2017, 23: 27 p.m.
It's time to say goodbye again. Goodbye, the love of my life. Goodbye, three encounters, three deep feelings. Goodbye, Bancheng Wennuan. Goodbye, Wu Hao, who is still trapped by his first love. Goodbye, both of you who have been with me for so many days.
But, will we ever meet again? Will you see me again in the new book in April?
I hope that we can still meet again on that day.
That's the end of the story. It's really over, but there's still a small side story about Qin Jiayan (Qin Zhi 'ai's younger brother) and Little Peanut (Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi' ai's daughter).
It's not long, just two side stories, and it's limited to 60 to 80 chapters.
I promised the readers in the VIP group that I would write these two short stories for people who like to read them.
If you can't bear to part with me, you can still come and take a look every night. If you don't want to, it's okay. We'll meet again in April for the new story.
I hope that all of you will remember that a person named "Ye Feiye" has been with you from summer to deep winter, from 16 to 17. If possible, I hope that we can walk together for the rest of our lives.
Finally, I'll announce a new group: 499877853. [Those who are looking forward to the new book and want to play Honor of Kings with me can come and find me. I'm free, so we can play games as much as we want!]
