1049 Xuanji, I Want You (1/2)

Lu Family Manor.

Lin Xuanji lay on the bed, having almost fallen asleep.

Knock knock knock, someone was outside the room.

She opened her eyes. ”Who is it?”

”It's me.”

A deep, magnetic voice came from outside.

It was Lu Jinwen.

So he had returned.

He had actually returned home. She had assumed that he wasn't coming home tonight again.

Getting off the bed, Lin Xuanji put on her slippers, then walked over to the door, opening it. A tall figure stood outside, and Lu Jinwen pinned her with an unwavering gaze.

”W-Why are you back?” Lin Xuanji looked at him.

Lu Jinwen raised the corners of his lips into a wry smile. ”Did you wish for me to come home, or did you think that I wasn't coming home.”

What was there to say to that? Lin Xuanji knitted her brows, not saying a word.

Stretching out one hand, Lu Jinwen grasped her slim wrist. ”Xuanji, what does our marriage even count as in your heart?”

At that, Lin Xuanji lifted her head, her voice even and steady. ”You asked whether I still love you or not. Lu Jinwen, I guess I can tell you the answer right now.”

Lu Jinwen stopped breathing for a moment.

”I love you. How could I not love you?”

She said she still loved him.

She said, how could she not love him?

Lu Jinwen's eyes slightly crinkled into a smile. He held her delicate hand, placing it on his cheek. Lowering his head, he nuzzled his cheeks against her palms, asking for doting.

He was behaving so well.

”But, I hate you too,” Lin Xuanji added.

Lu Jinwen wasn't surprised at all. ”I know.”
