140 She Needed Money (2/2)

”Lui, thank you.” Li Manni turned around, hugged him with her arms circling his neck, and offered him her scarlet lips. Chu Lui's eyes narrowed, naturally accepting the kiss which she seldom initiated.

This woman was shy. To him, she resembled less and less like Xia Yixuan; more like another woman.

”Lui, I love you very much.” Her declaration of love was lost in the midst of their shared kiss. Chu Lui's body went into a sudden shock; it was an indescribable feeling. Was it love? Love. It was a heavy feeling which he could not understand. Was he really in love with her?

It should be love, or else why would he want to marry her. If it wasn't love, why would he do so many things for her and be here with her now?

So, he loved her.

Yes, he must be.

The cold night rain was blocked by the window; in the ward, it was warm as spring.

After raining for the whole night with gusting wind, people went to work with their necks tucked. One would have thought that winter has come.

In the small warehouse…

An extremely pale woman walked out from within at the same time. Her arm hurt at the slightest touch as she caressed it gently. She bit on her greenish lips and looked out front. The rain had stopped. She knew she had to survive which means… she must look for a job to earn money.

What could she do?

She went around like a beggar, searching. The crisp wind blew onto her overly thin clothing. She hugged herself tight because it was the only way that seemed to keep her warm.
