So, the person she saw at the entrance of the restaurant was just a figment of her imagination?
That's right … It must be … My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
Leaning against the door, Leng Nuan held onto the phone with a shattered screen in one hand and stroked her wildly beating heart with the other, consoling herself inwardly.
…
After sending Leng Nuan home, Lu Benlai didn't rush home. Instead, he drove back to his office.
In truth, he still had some matters to attend to today. He had to meet with an important client tomorrow morning, and he still hadn't finished preparing all the documents he needed.
On the way to his office, Lu Benlai passed by a traffic light, and through the car window, he saw a shopping mall by the roadside. The most eye-catching location on the first floor was an international jewelry store, and the advertisement board was filled with a promotional photo of a popular actress wearing a dazzling diamond jewelry.
Lu Benlai stared at the glittering diamond ring on the actress's finger for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he still turned the car around and drove to the mall's underground parking lot.
He admitted that the business trip was one of the reasons, but the other reason was to calm himself down and think about the problem between him and Leng Nuan. But after leaving Beijing, he couldn't help but think about Leng Nuan every single day … In fact, he even talked about her when he was drinking with his clients.
He thought that he would probably fall into the hands of this woman called Leng Nuan in this lifetime …
Just like this afternoon, when she easily convinced him to skip work to accompany her to the Forbidden City with a few words. She was knowledgeable, and when she told him some historical stories, he felt comfortable listening to them, and for some reason, he liked that feeling … It was then that he realized that he probably couldn't leave her. Since he couldn't leave her, he might as well not leave her …
Lu Benlai had wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad, but because of Leng Nuan, he eventually gave up on his original plans.
Just like his boss, he went out to do his own thing. With a great idea in hand, he won the investment of a large company, and his business was doing very well. He bought a house and a car in Beijing, and he could even afford a huge diamond ring for her now …
He had envisioned himself living his life, but for the past two years, he had been living his life for her. He didn't want her to wander around under the pressure of life after graduation. He wanted her to have a sense of security in such a huge city.
Unknowingly, she had already infiltrated so deeply into his life that he had no choice, nor did he want to choose.
When Lu Benlai walked out of the shopping mall with the wrapped diamond ring in his hand, he was in an inexplicably good mood.
He couldn't help but hum along to the song "Young and Promising" on his car's music system.
If I were young and successful, I wouldn't feel inferior … Lu Benlai thought that it was fortunate that he was young and successful. Otherwise, in a society where money was needed everywhere, he might not even have the ability to maintain a relationship.
Upon arriving at the company, Lu Benlai took the elevator up to his office and brewed himself a cup of coffee. He first sent a message to Leng Nuan asking if she was asleep, and after chatting for a while, he switched on his laptop.
By the time Lu Benlai was done with his work, it was already around eleven-thirty at night. He rubbed his neck, which was a little sore from working for a long time, before he stood up and left the office.
