116 She Looked for You (2/2)

It shook her world.

Yet Chu Lui stopped at this moment. He looked at the woman in his arms very quietly. This expression was really similar, could it be… to Yixuan's?

He was undoubtedly hot and passionate, but now he was calm, almost not like himself.

His hand left her body at last and moved to her flushed cheeks, telling himself that she needed better. Doing it here was too wrong for her. He always wanted to give her the best of everything, which almost seemed like some sort of redemption. What sin was he atoning for? Who was he trying to appease?

”Tell me. Why are you hiding from me?” He stroked her face lightly with the same calm expression and heart. There seemed to be no woman who could break his perfect calmness.

He was calm when he was happy, and he was calm when he was angry.

Li Manni bit her lip. ”I'm sorry…” She put her arms around Chu Lui's waist, and she realized that she was so aware of his kisses, his temperature, and his breath.

She did not want to leave. Even if she had to do someone wrong, she wouldn't think of leaving anymore.

”Hmm. You still haven't answered my question?” Chu Lui's fingers slid across her cheek more forcefully. His eyes darkened more. It darkened to the point where there was no light left.

”I'm sorry, Lui. I didn't mean to.” Li Manni closed her eyes. She was stuck in a dilemma, too. ”You have a woman who loves you so much by your side. For your sake, she is even willing to let other men…” She didn't go on, and she really didn't want to tell him. She was actually scared—scared of the public's opinion.

”She looked for you?” Chu Lui sat up suddenly, his whole body tense. Even his calm eyes flashed quickly with a trace of crimson bloodlust.
