Chapter 454 - This is Still My Home (1/2)

Therefore, he finally realized that it was not easy to be a CEO. The position is good—being very high and powerful, but it made one feel tortured, too.

He gathered all the contracts into a pile and carried them. Actually, he was unwilling to be near the Chu family now, with the gloomy atmosphere surrounding them. His aunt was going to damage her eyes from crying while his uncle was always keeping her company. There was no time for any rest, with both of them as though aging ten more years within this short period.

As if they became elderly in a blink of an eye.

After work, he carried the pile of doc.u.ments and drove towards the Chu family. When he was at the door, he really wanted to just turn and left; but he looked down at the contracts in his hand. These were all the financials from the Chu Enterprise that couldn't just be ignored.

He could only raise his hands to knock on the door. Quickly, the door opened; and seeing the person standing at the door, he couldn't believe who he was looking at and rubbed his eyes. How could it be Chu Lui? He still thought it would be the nanny; furthermore, Chu Lui shouldn't look this calm and composed. It was as though nothing had happened, and he only took a break for a few days.

”Come in,” Chu Lui spoke to Du Jingtang standing at the door. Actually, he wasn't as calm as what Du Jingtang saw. He locked himself in his room for a prolonged period of a few days, wanting to give himself some time to calm down and compose himself.

”Cousin, all these require your own signature.” After some time, Du Jingtang found back his voice. He walked in. The room was very dark, for all the windows were closed and the curtains pulled—making one feel as if one was in a cold and dark hell.

”You can just place it there.” Chu Lui pointed to a table. His lips were pursed tightly as he walked to the wine cabinet. He poured a glass of wine for himself, and while it didn't seem like he was drinking it too fast, but he drank it in mouthfuls as if the wine was normal drinking water.

”Cousin, you…” Du Jingtang was very worried and didn't know what to say.

”I'll be back at the company soon, but before that, I'll have to trouble you.” Chu Lui swirled the glass of wine in his hands as he spoke. A cup of red wine wouldn't get him drunk. In fact, he had drunk so much without becoming drunk; perhaps the wine was not authentic.

”You don't have to worry that I won't be able to let go of it or that I'll commit suicide.” Chu Lui wasn't that weak. He leaned his back against the wine cabinet before finishing all the wine in his glass.

Indeed, such a blow to him was a huge one, but it was not to the point where he would just drink his life away. Adapting a practical viewpoint—whatever happened had happened; he could not pretend that nothing had happened. It's just that he would not have any more children, but he could still nurture a child to let him become the successor to the Chu Enterprise.

Even if there wasn't such a child—don't forget, there's still a Du Jingtang.

”Jingtang, you might have to have a child because I need one.” Chu Lui's solemn eyes made Du Jingtang uncontrollably stepped back. His sudden words shocked Du Jingtang.

”Yeah, I know.” Du Jingtang's grip tightened. He understood, how could he not? It's not a possibility, but a necessity; after all, he and Chu Lui had half the same bloodline flowing within them.

”Jingtang, this might be hard on you.” Chu Lui turned and poured another glass of wine for himself. He swirled the glass cup in his hands. For someone who only liked males—for him to have a blood-related child, it must have been hard on him. It's just that they didn't have any other choice. If this was the very last possible solution, then Du Jingtang couldn't refuse it… just like how he didn't reject Li Manni and the child at that time.

”I'm fine.” Du Jingtang shook his head; how could this be tough? If it was really tough, at most, he could just engage in IVF. His cousin was really the one in a tough position. Furthermore, for this matter, he only gave him a reminder now; but his mother probably would have been thinking of it already.

”I'll leave first, Cousin. I will come and pick up those tomorrow,” Du Jingtang spoke without much energy. It was as though by standing there, he felt very uncomfortable.
