Chapter 545 - The Man Who Had A Daughter But Couldnt Carry Her (1/2)

”It is.” Chu Lui gulped the drink down. His unwavering and emotionless voice made Mo Ming pause for a moment. His fingers lightly ran across the edge of the glass, the corners of his lips lifting higher.

So, it really was…

”My daughter's calling another man 'daddy', and she'll never forgive me.” Chu Lui's eyes stared deeply into the glass as he turned it in his hand, a look of sorrow flashing across his pupils.

”How nice, you even have a daughter.” Mo Ming didn't know if he was expressing his envy or mocking himself. ”I don't even know where my child has reincarnated to. For another person's kid, I personally aborted my own child. That's why you're stronger than me. At least you still have a daughter. But me? I have nothing.”

He turned his face around and drank glass after glass of alcohol.

Chu Lui moved his lips slightly. He had done things like that before. However, it was true; perhaps he really was slightly luckier than Mo Ming. His daughter was certainly still alive. Although she disliked and hated this father—as long as she was alive, that was enough. That's why he really did seem a lot more fortunate than Mo Ming.

He still had a daughter while Mo Ming only had regret.

The two men had never thought that they would meet under such circ.u.mstances again. Perhaps, they really were birds of the same feather.

The two of them continuously downed the alcohol. That dim light of the night could make others drunk, but it wasn't going to make him.

By the time Chu Lui propped up his forehead and regained consciousness, Mo Ming was already gone. He rubbed his forehead; hangovers really felt horrible. He shook his head to sober himself up.

He took out his wallet and was just about to pay when somebody suddenly blocked him from paying. ”Sir, you don't have to pay. That man has already settled your bill.”

It was only then that Chu Lui placed the wallet back into his pocket. Four years ago, he paid for the drinks. Four years later, Mo Ming paid for it. They could be considered even now.

His hands were still placed on his forehead as a bitter smile crept onto his lips. An entire night of drinking seemingly allowed him to understand some things better. It was true that he was the same person as before. He had always been so obsessed with coveting that he had forgotten to think about whether other people needed those things or if they were willing to give them up.

Ruoxin, is it still possible for you to forgive me? If I tell you that I really love you, will you believe me?

”If staying away from you can give you happiness, then I'll do just that…” He straightened his body. The suit on him had long become unkempt. He sat in his car, leaning his head against the car window.

The smile on his lips was still as bitter as before.

From that day on, Chu Lui never appeared in front of Xia Ruoxin ever again. Even when Rainy came to visit the Chu family, he would hide away in the furthest corner, just to sneak a glance at his daughter.

He was afraid that the child would hate him even more.
