853 My Love for You Is Gone (1/2)
There was a twinge of sadness in Lu Jinwen's heart. He felt that she was like this colorful dandelion. She was going to be blown away and he could not catch hold of her at all.
He walked ahead, extended his strong arm and held her in his embrace.
His soft lips kissed her silky hair repeatedly. He had almost used all his strength to embrace her, as if he could not wait to assimilate her into his flesh and bone. He buried his head in her neck and muttered in a hoarse voice, ”Xuanji, how did we become like this?”
Lin Xuanji just stood there without moving. Her hands were hanging down by her sides and she did not hug him back. A small curve crossed her red lips. ”We've both made mistakes, and so we've both paid the consequence of wasting half of our lives.”
The consequence of wasting half of their lives was undeniably tragic.
Both of them had fought ferociously against each other when they were younger. They had spent the time meant for loving each other in meanless battle. Both of them were wrong, and both of them were the only losers in the end.
Lu Jinwen embraced her tightly and he said, ”All these years, there's one sentence that I've never said before. If I've said it earlier, perhaps we would be living a different kind of life now. Xuanji, I love you. My love for you has never changed all these years and I've never stopped loving you.”
He had many regrets in the past, but he had never wavered in his love for her before. He was a remarkable man and dominated over the commercial sector. He had never thought that he would fall in love with someone else, and that this person could make him obsessed and infatuated.
The love that he had given her was complete and it had never slipped away.
He loved her.
Lin Xuanji was in a momentary daze as she listened to him. A film of tears gradually formed in her beautiful and gentle eyes. He said that he loved her.
”Xuanji, what about you? Do you still love me?”
He asked her.
Lin Xuanji's long lashes quivered. ”Do you still remember the Passion River at Miaojiang?”
Lu Jinwen froze. He knew that she had condemned him to the death sentence.
Indeed, the woman's delicate voice entered his eardrums. ”You were my faith. Everyday I chased after you hoping that one day you would stop in your tracks and tell me that you loved me. Today you finally said that you love me, but there's no feeling in my heart anymore.
”Actually, love is the most delicate and fragile masterpiece in the world. How many setbacks can a woman's love take? My love for you has been exhausted, broken and shattered… until there's nothing left now.”
She no longer loved him.
With that, Lin Xuanji pushed him away.
Lu Jinwen stepped backwards. He watched as the love of his life turned around and left.
She had left.
She had left, just like that.
Lu Jinwen's eyes were bloodshot and a self-derogatory smile played on his lips. Many years ago, had she also seen him leave like this in front of her too?
Did she feel lonely, lost and helpless like how he was feeling now?
He did not know what to do.
His world had gone haywire.
