Chapter 655 - Mr. Chu was Back, Too (2/2)

Chu Lui.

”Ruoxin…” The bag in Chu Lui's hand was almost thrown to the floor. He could not believe his eyes and could not believe that the person in front of him was her. Actually, he had imagined this more than once: one day, when he came home, perhaps she would be there. Just that, everything was part of his imagination. When he came home, he would always call out 'I'm home'; and when he left, he would say 'I'm going'. However, not once did someone reply to him, and he was already used to such a life.

Just that, he really did not expect that she would appear in front of his eyes. It was so real, so true; it was not his hallucination or his imagination. He held his hand holding the grocery into a fist but still did not dare inch forward and even more so to blink. He was afraid that a mere action of his would cause the person in front of him to disappear. His lips trembled, and his eyes started to tear a little while his voice was stuck in his throat and was unable to make a sound.

Xia Ruoxin looked at Chu Lui's face and the things in his hand… and knew immediately who had been the one living here. No wonder the owner did not collect rent from her and said that someone had already paid for it. She thought it was Gao Yi, but she never expected it to be Chu Lui.

She did not even expect that he would give up on his luxurious mansion to live in this small house that was not even fit for him. Everything here seemed to have his aura, his scent, and his shadow. It was no longer her and Rainy's home.

Hurriedly, Xia Ruoxin walked to the bedside and carried her sleeping daughter while holding her luggage on the other hand. It was no longer her house so she must leave as she did not like living in other people's place because it was not hers.

”Sorry, we'll leave now.” She left the keys in her hands on the table and lowered her head before walking towards the door.

Anxious, Chu Lui placed his groceries down and pulled her arm, but he did not dare use much force just in case it would hurt her and pain her. Her hand had already been hurt once and had not recovered yet. He was also afraid that she would be disgusted; he knew clearly how much she hated him.

”Ruoxin, where are you going?” He finally found his own voice and said the sentence coarsely after the roller coaster of emotions. There was unexplainable nervousness in him as if he was no longer himself once he met this woman like he was no longer the harsh Chu Lui from the business world.

He was just a normal man that had lost love and was waiting for love.

Xia Ruoxin was forced to stop in her tracks. The luggage in her hand felt like it weighed more and was too heavy for her to lift.

”This is your place. Sorry, I didn't know so I came in by mistake. Don't worry, I'll leave really soon.” Xia Ruoxin tried to remove her arm from his grasp. His hands were big but seemed to be able to burn her skin.

She tried to push away, but at that time, she was holding Rainy in one hand and the luggage in the other. She could only maintain this position and distance from Chu Lui.

One wanted to leave, but the other did not allow it.

”Ruoxin, if you go now, are you sure you can find a house?” Chu Lui let go of her arm and had successfully stopped Xia Ruoxin's tracks again. She could only stand there with nowhere to go as the sky outside was already dark. Could she really find a flat? Also, there was not a single hostel nearby. At the start, she stayed here because it was cheap, but its afford-ability came with remoteness.
