Chapter 485 - No Way Back (1/2)

”He can be a handful.” Gao Yi ate the fish in satisfaction. ”He is driving himself crazy with jealousy.”

Initially, Xia Ruoxin was puzzled by what he was saying. Soon, however, she couldn't help but laughed out loud once she understood. That patient was really Chu Lui. Du Jingtang being here, a man with Chu as his last name, and one who kept finding fault at Gao Yi. All the signs pointed to Chu Lui; no one else. Gao Yi was very serious, and he could be the only one in the world to say that Chu Lui was a troublesome one.

Nevertheless, she still had her concerns. What did Chu Lui want? A sense of uneasiness washed over her even as she smiled.

”Does he know about Rainy?”

”No,” Gao Yi answered without a doubt. Chu Lui couldn't have known. If he knew, he wouldn't be this calm and staying in the hospital. With his temper, there was no way he could remain this calm and face Gao Yi. He didn't know anything about Rainy.

”Everything will be alright.” Gao Yi reassured Xia Ruoxin. We will leave once my resignation report has been finalized.”

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin placed a palm on the table, and then he put it under her chin. There was a smile in her eyes, making her look innocent and simple. Gao Yi had a sudden thought as there was a light poke at his heart.

He reached out a hand and held Xia Ruoxin's tightly. ”Ruoxin, it is so good to have met you.”

Xia Ruoxin sighed softly. Actually, she had wanted to tell him that, too. It is really very fortunate for me to have met you.

…

Du Jingtang moved closer to Chu Lui curiously. His cousin's eyes were glued to the computer screen as though he was trying to see through it. However, his attention wasn't on the screen.

”Brother, are you doing it on purpose?”

Du Jingtang suddenly asked. Chu Lui's hand moved up and closed the laptop sitting on his lap.

”What do you mean?” he merely asked Du Jingtang.

”I don't mean anything.” Du Jingtang shrugged. ”I just want to know if you have done anything to Doctor Gao's resignation report.”

Chu Lui pursed his lips into such a straight line that there wasn't any space in between. Any idiot could tell that he had done it out of purpose and willfulness.

”Brother, is there a need to do this?”

Du Jingtang wasn't trying to shock Chu Lui. He was simply saying the truth. ”You may be able to stop him from leaving today, but that doesn't mean you can keep him here forever. You don't mean anything to her if she doesn't love you, and you can't expect her to love you with everything again no matter how hard you try.” He couldn't bear to see his cousin like this as he spoke the truth.

Chu Lui's hand clenched tightly on the table. His lowered eyes hid many emotions and complexity.

”Jingtang, tell me. Can I still be forgiven?”

He asked Du Jingtang suddenly. The question stumped him. Forgive. Such a simple word which was easy to write, too. However, it was a word filled with heaviness. Right now, what was the difference between forgiving him and not?

Du Jingtang didn't reply to his question, but he was thinking…
