Chapter 344 - No Such Thing as a Perfect Woman (2/2)

So such a thing happened four years ago. The customer was recalling so vividly that it did not seem like he was lying. He himself had always felt that his cousin-in-law was too perfect, almost too perfect to be true.

What a selfish woman. So Dong Fangjing was really correct when he said that she was not perfect at all. Her kindness was all an act, and so was her perfection.

Living together with such a woman was really scary. Wasn't she tired of wearing a mask all the time?

”Done eating? If you're done, let's leave.” Chu Lui looked at the watch on his wrist without saying or asking anything else as if what those people had said just now were not related to him at all.

”I'm done eating.” Li Manni choked out. She stood up and slid her hand across his arm uneasily.

Would he be angry?

Would he blame her? It was just that she really couldn't say it at that time. She really loved him and wanted him completely, and she also wanted Xia Ruoxin out of his life and their world. Was that wrong, too?

She sat in the car and wrung her fingers together.

”You…” She drew out the word, unsure of what to say. His silence just made her uneasy and fearful, for she did not know what he was in his mind.

”Lui, don't you have anything you want to say to me? About that, I can explain. I really can.” Li Manni placed her hand on Chu Lui's hand, which was holding on to the steering wheel, urgently.

”Let go.” Chu Lui said calmly. It was like a slap to Li Manni's face. She released her hand immediately, tears welling up in her eyes.

”I'm driving.” Chu Lui spoke again, then freed one hand, and placed it gently on Li Manni's shoulders. ”There's nothing I really want to ask… or say. Just take it as I've never heard a single word, understand? Manni, don't mention such things anymore. I don't wish to hear it.”

Li Manni paused and then wiped away her tears hurriedly. ”I understand. I won't talk about it again.” She looked at Chu Lui's hand on her shoulder, feeling relaxed and at ease. He had forgiven her and would not investigate what happened four years ago.

Li Manni's lips quivered, and she leaned against his shoulder, her emotions stabilizing.

Chu Lui retracted his hand. No one noticed the pain that had flashed in his eyes. He did not blame her, because he had once done things a thousand times worse than that.

He had even sent his own wife to another man's bed. She wasn't a good person, but so was he. It had been four years since then, and time could never turn back. Even if it did, what else could be done?

What else was true in this world, and what was fake? Was Li Manni really that perfect? What kind of wife did he really pick for himself?
