Chapter 393 - Untitled (1/2)

What all he wanted to eat now?

He wanted a bowl of noodles cooked by Xia Ruoxin. He was willing to exchange all the delicacies in the world for that, but was she still willing to make him one? He laughed bitterly. There was no way.

”Lui, I want to go. The company won't collapse from just one day of your absence. It's been a long time since we've spent time together. Just this once, okay?” Li Manni hugged Chu Lui's arm tightly as she looked up at Chu Lui in anticipation. Her gaze resembled her so much it made Chu Lui's heart waver. In a daze, he placed his hand against Li Manni's cheek.

It was like deja vu. There was a woman who pleaded and looked at him like that once, too.

She still existed, but she was gone.

”Let's go.” Chu Lui put on his suit. Li Manni's hand never left his body, even when he was wearing his clothes. When he put his hand through the sleeve, he had to wait for her to grab on to his other hand before he could put his other hand through the sleeve.

After paying the bill, Li Manni hugged Chu Lui's arm again tightly. She wanted to let everyone know that he was her man, her husband, and no one could snatch him away. All those women were desperate and thirsty and looked as if they wanted to eat him up, but when they saw her, they could only shrink back. At times like these, she was extremely gleeful.

This was all hers. Only hers.

The last rays of the setting sun illuminated the stream. The water wasn't completely clear, but it still reflected the light and glittered like the stars. In the distance, a young couple was having their wedding photoshoot. The young and stylish photographer asked the man to kiss the woman. The man kissed her shyly and moved away quickly. Everyone smiled. The groom's face turned redder.

A pure and simple love. As time passed, some things were buried in the river of the past, and some moments they once had were forgotten.

”Lui, look how happy they look.”

Li Manni held Chu Lui's arms and laced their fingers together. She was looking earnestly, but Chu Lui was distracted. Li Manni didn't bother anymore and continued yapping by his ear.

Chu Lui had a short temper, but Li Manni knew him well enough to know that towards a pregnant woman like her, he needed to be patient. A mother's honor would increase as her son's position rose.

However, she placed her hand on her stomach and bit her lip lightly. The trace of pain made her come to her senses.

”Lui, let's go.” She smiled, hiding the coldness behind it. In the distance, the photographer pointed his camera to the sky as clear as a flower and captured the moment with a compatible couple in his shot. The man was tall, handsome, and extremely sophisticated. He was dressed in a fitting suit with a hand in his pocket, his eyes calm and his features prominent. His every movement was filled with maturity and a compelling force.

As for the woman, she was donned in designer clothes and bathed in a golden aura. Her meticulously set hairdo shone like gold leaves under the setting sun, the reflections making it look like that of linen color. Her skin was beautiful and white, and though her facial features were not to be considered beautiful, the clothing she donned certainly made her look so. It was good photography material.

He looked at the camera again and zoomed in to the picture. Weird. He looked closely at the picture in question.

They looked close, but their hearts were apart.
