She looked just like she had when he had first met her.
Even though he had lost the love of his life and received endless pain, it was good to see her become the person he liked … It was really good.
He knew he should be happy about this, but a piercing pain still spread from his chest.
Lu Bancheng's eyes darkened as he stared at Xu Wennuan for a while. It wasn't until Little Peanut's giggles could be heard from the playroom nearby that he slowly withdrew his gaze. He strode to the door of the study, extended his hand, and gently knocked on it.
…
Lu Bancheng didn't disturb Gu Yusheng. After entering the study, he went straight to the balcony.
After about ten minutes, Lu Bancheng heard the sound of a chair rubbing against the floor in the room behind him, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps and the sound of the balcony door being pulled open.
Lu Bancheng knew it was Gu Yusheng. With a cigarette in his hand, he stared straight at the gleaming swimming pool and the blossoming lavender in the backyard without turning around.
A few seconds later, he felt someone standing beside him.
Lu Bancheng raised his hand and brought the cigarette to his lips. When he was about to take a puff, he realized that the cigarette had burned to the end. He forced himself to take a small puff to satisfy his craving, then put out the cigarette. He fished out two more cigarettes from the pack beside him and handed one of them to Gu Yusheng.
"I quit." Gu Yusheng, dressed in a white shirt, stood in front of the balcony railing with his hands in his pockets. He stared at Little Peanut, who was running in the lavender field, and Qin Zhi 'ai, who was following behind her and telling her to be careful. A trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Surprise crept into Lu Bancheng's eyes, but he didn't force Gu Yusheng. He bit the cigarette between his teeth and lit one for himself. After taking a puff, he asked, "When did you quit?"
"More than a year." After a few seconds, Gu Yusheng shifted his gaze from his wife and daughter to Lu Bancheng. He stared at him silently and fiercely smoking for a while before asking, "What's wrong? Something bothering you? "
"… No." Lu Bancheng exhaled a puff of smoke and lowered his eyebrows with a chuckle.
Gu Yusheng knew that Lu Bancheng didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't force him and changed the topic. "Are you going to leave again this time?"
"I'll stay in Beijing for two months. As for what happens after that, I haven't decided yet."
"Oh."
"…"
The two of them chatted idly for a while until the housekeeper called for Xu Wennuan and Little Peanut to eat. Lu Bancheng snuffed out the cigarette between his fingers and stared greedily at Xu Wennuan, who was holding Little Peanut's hand, as they walked into the villa. He stared unblinkingly for a long time before he averted his gaze.
If the child she was pregnant with hadn't been aborted, it would have been born by now and would have been a few months old, right?
In a little more than a year, he would probably be like Little Peanut, who would start to walk and run unsteadily.
Thinking of this, Lu Bancheng felt a stinging pain in his eyes. He picked up his cell phone and glanced at the time. Before the housekeeper came upstairs to call him and Gu Yusheng for dinner, he said, "I have something to do later, so I won't be having dinner. I'll be leaving now."
…
Before getting into the car, Lu Bancheng wanted to turn around and look at Xu Wennuan through the bright and clean window.
He hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to give up.
He was afraid that if he took one look at her, he wouldn't be able to bear to leave.
