103 In a Daze (2/2)

He walked into the rain, resigned. Fine, if Chu Lui wouldn't look for her, he—Du Jingtang—would.

”Lui, what's wrong?” Li Manni sat at one side and asked him quizzically. She placed the freshly brewed coffee in front of Chu Lui.

”Nothing.” Chu Lui let Li Manni sit on his laps and reached his hand out to caress her long hair. It felt nice, but he felt like he liked a softer hair texture more.

”Lui, the woman just now was your wife, right?” Li Manni lowered her eyes, her eyes flashing with some tears.

”I feel like I really shouldn't do this. I've become a bad woman, wrecking your family, and I…”

She wanted to continue, but Chu Lui captured her lips in a flash, swallowing her unsaid words.

”Don't worry, you have me. I'll divorce her. Fret not, I'll let you marry me rightly.” He left her lips, and his hold tightened on the woman in his arms. He would not let his woman suffer in any way. Yixuan was gone, and this woman was the one he should be treasuring—he reminded himself constantly. Otherwise, his heart would be wavered by another scary feeling.

Li Manni wound her hands around Chu Lui's waist. She did not know why, but despite what he said, there was still unease in her heart.

She raised her head and saw a disoriented look on the man's handsome face. It was a look she seldom saw on him.

He was overbearing, mature, cold, stubborn, and superior. He could defeat his enemies ruthlessly, effortlessly. He could be cold and heartless, and he could be loveless. However, he should never be in a daze like now.
