Chapter 818 - How Long can Your Love Last? (2/2)

Xia Ruoxin turned around, and the man behind her encircled her again. The pair of hands was tightly holding onto her as if he was afraid that she was going to leave.

She was a light sleeper, and it was because of this that she knew that the man had woken up a few times in the middle as if he was afraid that she was going to leave. He only relaxed when he saw that she was around.

Soon, stable breathing came from the man, and she knew that he was sleeping.

Slowly, she pulled his hands away, stood up, and took the sleeping gown. She wore it and walked to the balcony, allowing the wind outside to blow over and wake her muddled brain up.

Chu Lui, how long would your love last? How long would your love stay? I want to know if you would still insist on your joking love after you have been betrayed.

Surprisingly, one day, at one point; she would associate the love that she stood for with the word ‘joking’. Outside the balcony, millions of households had their lights turned off; and there was only dusk around. However, no one knew how many people were there in this world that could not sleep the entire night like her or had insomnia.

“Why are you not sleeping?” The man walked over and hugged the woman from the back.

Just that, this hug made his brows unnaturally tighten. “You’ve slimmed again.”

Xia Ruoxin tore her lips, and she did not only tear her wounds but also the memories of the past. Whoever in the hospital that had to rely on machines and nutrients to extend their lives would never become as fat as a pig. Even now, she could not eat much.

Suddenly, she turned around; and her cold expression was replaced with a light flirt look.

“Mr. Chu, don’t forget about my one million.” She extended her fingers to poke Chu Lui’s chest. “One million dollars. Not a penny less.”

Chu Lui felt as though he was hurt and was even more afraid that she was harming herself. If the relationship between them was eventually calculated based on money, then what were they? A lady and her patron?

He could not accept this relationship, but up to her.

He placed his hand on the loose strands of hair by Xia Ruoxin’s ear. “If you wish, I’ll settle it with you personally.”

Xia Ruoxin did not respond. She held her clothes tightly and lay down on the bed in the hotel. It was going to be daybreak soon, and it was only now that she could really sleep. Sometimes, she wondered how good it would be to not wake up from this sleep; how good it would be if she did not dream.

Just that, when she opened her eyes again, she could still hear her intense breathing.

“What’s wrong?” A man extended his hand over and placed it on her forehead. “Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?”

“Nothing.” Xia Ruoxin pushed away his hand harshly and walked to the bathroom.

Chu Lui put his hand down slowly and felt the pain at the back of his hand; after the pain, it was indescribable devastation.

What on earth happened between them?
