210 She Could Not Catch Up With Hope (1/2)

”Chu Lui, don't go. Please… don't go…” She chased the car, but it got further and further away. The car was lost, along with all her hope.

Li Manni looked back from inside the car. Her face was expressionless except for the dazed look in her eyes. That woman had run after the car. It was so difficult to get rid of her.

”Lui.” Li Manni used her body to block Chu Lui's view. With both her hands on his arm, Chu Lui briefly opened his shut eyes.

”Yes?” A simple word but a reply nonetheless. In fact, they were not as loving as others had thought. If only a simple question and answer could be considered as loving.

”Lui, let's take a trip overseas. I feel like going out of the country.” Li Manni rested her head on Chu Lui's shoulder as she scanned the back of the car from the corner of her eye. She saw the woman fell abruptly onto the ground, and a smirk appeared on her lips.

”Why the sudden urge?” Chu Lui closed his eyes again, his lips pursed into a line. He did not like the suggestion as he has been very busy lately. The Chu Enterprise would not fold without him.

”We did not take any trips for our wedding. Lui, it has been four years. How long do you want me to wait?” Li Manni hugged his arm. There was a hint of regret in her voice. They did not have a honeymoon, and this was the only regret she had after all these years.

Chu Lui put his arm around Li Manni's shoulders and hugged her close. A faint look of guilt flashed past his dark eyes.

The more frustrated he was, the guiltier he felt.

The guiltier he felt, the more he wanted to compensate.

The more he compensated, the emptier he became.

”All right. I will make the arrangements.” He lowered his eyes and looked at his watch. Finally giving in.
