303 Leaving (2/2)

The car disappeared from sight, but the number plate was etched in her brain.

She ran forward in a hurry. If possible, could he give her another chance?

She was a mother. Just a mother…

She ran towards the direction of the car until she could move no further. She looked up and saw all kinds of people. She sized up this unfamiliar place until she stopped and realized that she was at an airport.

As she walked closer, people kept squeezing past her; and she just carefully shield the piece of cake in her arms.

From afar, she caught sight of the silhouette of a couple. The man was gently protecting the woman in his arms, and the woman's smiling side profile was extremely beautiful. Her bliss was evident on her face, but it pierced through another woman's heart.

”Chu Lui…” Xia Ruoxin's lips moved slightly. She walked forwards subconsciously but was blocked by someone.

”Excuse me, miss. The plane has already taken off. Please take the next flight.” A mechanical but polite voice went. Xia Ruoxin's heart almost stopped beating. Her whole body was freezing cold without any warmth.

She blinked once, and in the dim light, the plane had flown, leaving only a pale shadow in front of her.

He left. He really left.

She turned around and then started to leave. The heavens did not give her another chance; neither to her daughter. As they welcomed the arrival of a new life, another young life was dying.

Was this fair?

Was it?

In the first-class seats of the plane, Li Manni was covered with a blanket. It was only when the plane took off that she felt an unmatchable relief. She closed her eyes, leaning onto the shoulders of the man beside her.

”Lui, will the company be fine with us gone?” She asked thoughtfully. He was so busy every day with work. Was it really alright to leave such a big corporation behind?

”It's alright. Jingtang's there.” Chu Lui tucked her deeper into the blanket. He reached his hand out to her stomach. ”Are you feeling alright?” He was worried about her sitting on a plane. His mother was actually against them going overseas, but Manni was too persistent so they could only follow her wishes.

As long as she wanted to, she could do anything.

”Yes, I'm fine, and the baby is very obedient.” She laid her hands on top of Chu Lui's big hands. The feeling of the dry temperature of his palm could almost make her melt.

She closed her eyes in satisfaction and put her whole weight on Chu Lui's body. ”Lui, I'm going to take a nap. I'm tired.” Chu Lui's arm slid over her waist to make her sleep more comfortable.

He still kept his hand on her stomach, feeling the child's existence. This was the only way he could prevent himself from regretting to save another child for the sake of his own.

Perhaps leaving was for the better. That way, he would not receive news of the child so soon. Her life and death would be none of their business. She would not be part of his world anymore when they returned.

He let out a soft sigh. He looked out of the plane with dark, complicated eyes. He realized that they were high in the air, going further and further away from the place they were leaving. In a few hours, they would be in another country.
