Chapter 326 Indebted (1/2)
The group of people stayed in the living room for a long time, thought after a while, Kang Jun recommended to take Xu Shen on a tour of the house. He had invited Lu Duyi along, at first, but the boy had wanted to stay stuck to his eldest sister, which Kang Jun didn't mind at all.
The two were close, and yet, Lu AnLing had put distance between them since she had gotten pregnant and yet the boy still loved her as much as he always had. Kang Jun found this relationship beautiful, and he was glad that Lu Duyi could be there, not only for his wife but also to mend the relationships between Lu AnLing, Lu Xiaoling and Lu Shuya.
As they walked Xu Shen asked Kang Jun many random questions about his day to day like with Lu AnLing, Kang Mei Xue and Kang Mingyu, and then, after a while, Xu Shen said,
”Are you even human? The only fault I can find in you is your coldness, but even that is barely a fault.”
Hearing this, Kang Jun couldn't help but laugh lowly. ”I have many flaws. The only difference between me and everyone else is that I don't try to hide them. If I'm angry, I'll show anger, if I dislike someone, they'll know, and if I love someone they'll feel it with their mind, body and soul.”
The last part of his sentence was a bit embarrassing to hear, but Kang Jun showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Looking at him Xu Shen nodded. This did prove Kang Jun's point to Xu Shen, so the man suddenly laughed.
”AnLing sure is lucky to have you. And you're lucky to have her. I think you two suit each other very well.” Xu Shen said truthfully. ”Frankly, I've never seen such a perfect pair. Xiaoling and I are very good as a team... and by that I mean our differences compliment each other, but all that's missing is that passion; that love.”
There was something strange in Xu Shen's voice and Kang Jun easily picked up on it.
”Do you not love your wife?” Kang Jun asked simply.
Hearing this, Xu Shen smiled. ”I love her in the way you love a childhood friend whom you've been with all your life.”
Kang Jun cocked his head, ”But you don't love her in a romantic way.”
Xu Shen took a moment and he thought about it. Did he love Xiaoling romantically? He didn't need to think about it much. He knew the answer.
”Maybe once, but not anymore. In my opinion, It would be a shame if I still loved her romantically since she's always loved someone else.” Xu Shen said as he slightly reminisced of the past.
He remembered the day he was first introduced to Lu Xiaoling. He thought she was a beautiful woman but he could easily tell that her whole heart was elsewhere.
He didn't know what had happened in her past or what she had done but he had married her despite all that was unknown.
Xu Shen: ”Xiaoling isn't a bad person. She's just a bit quick to act. I don't really know what happened with her first husband but he did something to her which closed her whole heart up. And I'm sure that he's the only one who could open it back up again... but sadly, the man's already dead.”
