Chapter 578 - Brokenhearted (2/2)
Chu Lui stood up and walked in front of his French window. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. The smell of tobacco made him unnaturally cough a few times. If he could, he really didn't want to smoke anymore.
It made him choke really badly.
”Cousin, sometimes, I really don't get you.” Du Jingtang leaned against the table, standing. He checked the watch on his wrist once again, evidently unable to settle down.
”Weren't you the one who advised me to let go? I let it go already, that's all.” He put out the cigarette in his hand and looked out the window. Eighteen floors… it was extremely high, so high that he could seemingly look down on the entire world. He actually did it in the stock market. As long as he stomped his foot, the entire market would shake; and as long as he raised his hand, he could decide the life and death of another company.
It was just that all these, he was already sick of it. Perhaps because he had gotten old already.
”Fine. Just take it as I never said anything.” Du Jingtang awkwardly touched his nose. He seemed to have forgotten what he had said before. He straightened his body and looked at the watch on his wrist again. This time, he was really anxious. If he didn't go now, there was no way of knowing when he would see the little cutie again. He couldn't fly daily to England now, could he? That was unrealistic.
”Cousin, you sure you're not going?” he asked again.
”Yes,” Chu Lui simply replied. He wasn't going to go. It was best if he didn't go.
”Then, don't go. I'll go myself,” Du Jingtang said apologetically. This really felt like he was being unfair to his cousin. It felt like he was ditching Chu Lui, and it also felt like a betrayal.
”Alright.” Another simple reply. There was no emotion or reaction, seemingly as if he was calm… excessively calm.
”Then, I'm going? I'm really going?” Du Jingtang walked to the door, saying a few more sentences. He never knew that he was such a wordy person. He had practically become an old lady.
This time, Chu Lui didn't reply until he heard Du Jingtang's voice fade. Only then did he open his eyes. He glanced outside, and his thin lips were pressed together so firmly that they seemed air-tight.
He hesitated a bit before following Du Jingtang out.
It was just that very quickly, he made a U-turn. He turned around and sat back in his office. The secretary found it weird. She never understood why the CEO dragged his crippled leg with him while walking around the office from time to time. What was he doing? Was he doing rehabilitation? She placed down the pen in her hand and propped her face up in a flower pose.
”The CEO has become so weird. He always had this feeling like he's broken-hearted. He was already a person who had gotten married twice; was it possible for him to get heartbroken?” She inevitably started mumbling to herself. Although her voice was soft, Chu Lui—who was separated from her by a wall—heard most of it.
Yes, not only had he gotten his heart broken, but he had also lost it.
