Chapter 364 - What A Noble Status (1/2)

”No, Mom. You're mistaken.” Chu Lui's lips parted, and he refused to answer the question.

”Ah Lui, you've been married for four years. My only wish is that the two of you can live a peaceful and quiet life without any incidents. Two marriages in a lifetime are enough for one person.” Song Wan tugged at Chu Lui's hand and sighed silently. ”Don't do it again. I can't even hold my head up around my friends. If you remarry again, how am I supposed to face them?” Her face darkened. Even though she was good-natured, she was prideful, too.

”I know, Mom. I know my limits.” Chu Lui assured his mother to put her at ease, despite feeling like his world had turned upside down currently.

Nevertheless, he wouldn't simply change everything now when he hadn't come up with a foolproof plan yet, much less do anything to Li Manni. He married her, and so he would naturally take responsibility. A lifetime of responsibility, regardless of how much he didn't want to now.

”That's good. I know you'll get it.” Song Wan patted Chu Lui on the back and walked back in, only to see that the rim of Li Manni's eyes had reddened. Even Song Wan had noticed that something was wrong between them. Was it so obvious?

Chu Lui walked outside where the sky was much darker just like his heart, depressed and dispirited. He never had an easy day in the recent few months—nor a happy one, especially since he met Xia Ruoxin. It was then that he realized how much he missed her.

After scheming for half his life, he had forgotten the past. He never thought that his so-called revenge four years ago would have adverse effects on himself and make him pay for it.

He sat in the car and lit a cigarette, puffing on it. His black eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and his expression was much darker than before.

He placed a hand on the steering wheel, pressing his lips together as his knuckles clenched tightly.

…

Xia Ruoxin raised her head. The sky was so dark today. She bent down and touched her daughter's forehead. The temperature was fine. She took out a small coat for her daughter to wear. It was a good thing she prepared it today. Otherwise, she would have to go back to get her one. Gao Yi had an operation early in the morning, and so she was the one sending Rainy to school.

”Cold?” She put the little coat on her daughter and pressed her fingers to her face.

”Nope.” Rainy shook her head, her small backpack on her back. She already looked like a student and would, of course, know more words. However, no matter how many words she learned, she was still just a tiny child.

”Mommy's going to come pick you up tonight. Remember to be a good girl.” She patted her daughter on her head and stood up.

”Okay.” Rainy nodded hard. She would be a good girl every day. She was the most obedient girl in the school.

”That's great.” Xia Ruoxin took her daughter's hand and brought her to the kindergarten.

The teacher took Rainy's hand, but her eyes never left her mother's. Her face held more silence than before.
