"Yes, Sir." Butler Ye nodded respectfully.
"First, issue a Tianxia Order. I want the entire city to buy hearts. Anyone who can find a heart that is suitable for Xuanji can inherit all my assets. I want to use the power of the empire to search for my lost heart."
"Yes."
"Second, get the doctors to prepare. I want to do a heart match. If my heart is suitable for Xuanji, that would be the best."
"… Yes."
"Third, prepare a grand wedding. Get a Milan designer to customize a white wedding gown. I want her to put on the wedding gown for me once she returns."
"Yes." Butler Ye noted everything down.
Lu Jinwen looked at Lu Fan. "You stay. Don't leave. On my wedding day, everyone in the Lu family must be present. Xuanji likes crowds."
"Elder Brother," Lu Fan quickly said, "If Lin Xuanji doesn't come back, do I still have to wait for the rest of my life?"
Lu Jinwen's handsome face was instantly covered with a layer of frost. His facial features were tense. "Then you can wait for the rest of your life."
"Mom, Elder Brother doesn't have the ability to marry a wife. He's bullying me here!" Lu Fan immediately complained to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu glanced at Lu Fan. "Who asked you to jinx it?"
"Mom, you're biased!" Lu Fan was indignant.
Lu Jinwen curved his thin lips. "You only found out now?"
Lu Fan was speechless.
Old Madam Lu said, "Lu Fan, your elder brother needs special care now. Bear with it for a while."
Lu Jinwen was speechless.
…
Jun Mosheng passed away. Country Z mourned for him. Jun Mosheng was a good king when he was alive. He did his best for the people of Country Z and was deeply loved.
Lu Jinwen would see Lin Xuanji on the television. Lin Xuanji was dressed in a black coat, with a small white flower in her hair. She was keeping vigil for Jun Mosheng, sending him to his grave, not leaving his side day and night.
She had been gone for a long time.
Lu Jinwen flipped open the calendar. She had been gone for seven days. Today was the eighth day.
Jun Mosheng had already been buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum on the seventh day. She should be back today.
Lu Jinwen got up and went to the wardrobe. He picked a black shirt and put it on. Looking at himself in the mirror, he was still handsome even though he was 50 years old. His shoulders were tall and his eyes were deep. and he was charming.
He combed his short hair with a comb, and after making sure that he looked perfect in the mirror, he took his car keys and went out.
Half an hour later, the luxury car stopped outside the airport. He stretched out his long legs and walked up the stairs. At first, he walked, but then he gradually sped up and started running.
He ran into the airport lobby.
At this time, the airport broadcast was playing — -Dear distinguished passengers, the flight from Z country to the Capital has successfully arrived. Thank you for your cooperation.
— - "Look, our daughter is back!"
— - "Hubby, here!"
Many people were there to pick them up. Their loved ones and friends walked out of the gate of the airport.
They were hugging, laughing, reuniting.
Lu Jinwen walked from the floor-to-ceiling window to the front. He leaned against the glass window and watched. Everyone had come out, but she hadn't.
He walked up to the staff and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Yes, sir."
With a loud bang, the staff slammed the door shut.
Lu Jinwen stood tall on the spot, his deep almond-shaped eyes slowly filled with sorrow. She had not returned.
…
Half a month later. At the hospital.
In the operating theater, Lu Jinwen lay on the cold single bed. The glaring white lights shone on him, piercing his eyes.
"Mr Lu, I'm going to give you anesthesia now. After the anesthesia, the needle will be inserted into your heart to draw blood. Then it won't hurt anymore," the doctor said politely.
Lu Jinwen shook his head. "There's no need for anesthesia. Just draw blood."
"Mr Lu, it's very painful without anesthesia. It's a piercing pain."
Lu Jinwen gently closed his eyes. "I don't want to repeat it a second time."
The doctor promptly broke out in cold sweat. He didn't dare to delay any further. The doctor picked up the long needle and pierced it into Lu Jinwen's heart.
Pain.
It was just as the doctor had said. It was a piercing pain.
Lu Jinwen's face was ghastly pale, but he gradually curved the corner of his lips and smiled. Xuanji, I finally know your pain now.
But it's a pity that you've been suffering this pain day and night, while I've only experienced it for a moment.
Half a month …
You still haven't returned.
I've been waiting for you at the airport every day. I've been filled with hope every day, only to return in disappointment. Do we only have to waste our remaining time by waiting and being waited for?
We've been missing each other for half of our lives.
It's alright, I'll still wait day by day.
Today, I've come to do a heart match. On one hand, I hope that the match will be successful. This heart originally belonged to you and I'm returning it to you. But on the other hand, I selfishly hope that the match won't be successful. Because … I hope that I can live longer than you. That way, I'll have enough time to love you and accompany you.
The one who leaves first will be very peaceful. The one who is left behind will be the one who's in the most pain.
But Xuanji, I'll gladly endure the pain that you've given me.
…
One month later, on the 30th.
Lin Xuanji still hadn't returned. But it was already the 30th of the month. She had reached another hurdle in her life.
But she wasn't by his side.
Lu Jinwen locked himself in his room the entire day. He stared at the steel watch on his wrist. The steel watch ticked and ticked. It was almost midnight.
He missed her so much.
He really wanted to see her.
But he couldn't go.
He had been tormented every minute and second of the month. There were countless times when he had the urge to fly to Country Z, even if it was just to sneak a peek at her. But he didn't dare.
He really didn't dare.
Lu Jinwen didn't know how to write the word 'afraid' in his entire life. But at this moment, he was finally afraid.
He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to open her eyes tonight.
He was afraid that she would stay by Jun Mosheng's side forever.
He was even more afraid that this would be the end of their relationship.
He took out his cell phone. His long fingers scrolled through the familiar phone number and he dialed it.
A melodious tune played on the other end. It was the song 'The Rest of My Life'.
The singer, Ma Liang, was singing with his unique and exquisite voice — -
Finding the sun in a place where there's no wind, being the warm sun in a place where you're cold,
You're always too naive,
I want to take you to see the clear skies, I want to tell you that I'm infatuated with you. The past passes by quickly,
For the rest of my life, you're the winter snow, you're the spring flowers, you're the summer rain, you're the autumn yellow, you're the four seasons.
Wherever you look, all the tenderness in your heart,
It's all because of you …
The melodious song reverberated over and over again, but no one picked up.
He dialed again and again, but no one picked up.
This sentence reverberated in his ears — - Wherever I look, all the tenderness in my heart, it's all because of you.
