C228 (2/2)

In here, all women had the same expression, the same coquettish look. As soon as he got near, he became disheartened.

Thus, he only drank alcohol here every night and never rented a room with his wife. Only here would he not feel the long night, watching the men and women flirting and swearing, only feeling that time passed quickly.

He had promised his family that he would only get married after 30 years, but now, he was 32 years old. Now, he didn't dare to return home, and every time he did, he would be forced to go on a blind date.

However, in these three years, he really didn't have any plans to get married, and always felt that something was missing.

He had thought that marriage was a man, a woman living together, but when he reached the age of marriage, there was a fear that a man could marry a woman if he was with her.

From the time he had turned thirty to now, the girls he had known over the years were at least forty to fifty, but none of them had given him the urge to get married.

Every time he thought of marrying, living with a woman, living under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed, his heart contracted and he began to sweat.

And now, her mother had given the final order that if she didn't bring the woman home this year, she would have to accept her arrangements.

As he swirled the wine cup, the emotions that he couldn't let go stirred once again.

In fact, she was already 28 this year. Even though she had heard about her blind date, there was still no movement from her.

For five years they had avoided each other, not since the accident with the elevator, and sometimes even when he had deliberately arranged it, she had avoided it.

Liu Lei had never been able to figure out whether it was because he didn't do well enough, or because she was afraid of men.

Originally, when she saw that her company had matters to attend to, she thought it was a chance for the two of them to get back together.

Until now, he hadn't found out who had transferred the money to her. That's not a small amount of money. Who would be able to make such a huge sum of money?

When he thought that it might be some man silently helping her, the fire of jealousy hidden in Liu Lei's heart burned brighter and brighter.

Seeing the men and women who were picking up a bunch, Liu Lei stood up, put the money on the table, and left.

When he opened the car door, his eyes were fixed on the bunch of keys. It had been five years, and the key was still there. Even after all these years, he still hadn't dared to approach that house.

Although he knew that Song Zihan had never moved, he did not have the courage to take the blow anymore.

Liu Lei held the key in his hand and looked in front of him for a long time before stepping on the accelerator. His goal was very clear, it was no longer the direction to return home.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of the building that had once been so familiar.

As he looked at the key in his hand, Liu Lei felt as if he returned to five years ago. The sweetness in his memories, that was the sweetest memory he had since he had a woman.

Even though at that time, he had never thought about getting married, but in his heart, she was still his partner. Now that five years had passed, was he still in her heart?

Holding the key in his hand, Liu Lei walked in. Although he was stopped by the security guards, once he explained, the security guards still made sense and let him come up.

Looking at the familiar door, the key in Liu Lei's hand didn't seem to be able to come out.

Looking at the time, it seemed a little early. It was just ten o'clock, he wondered if Song Zihan had come back yet.

Liu Lei held the key in his hand and knocked on the door first. But after knocking for a long time, there was no response.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Lei decisively inserted the key into the hole. His hands were a bit shaky, so he wondered if the lock had been changed.

This thought still lingered in her mind before the door opened. It had been five years, yet she hadn't changed the lock. She was surprised and even a little delighted.

Did this mean that she still had feelings for him?

Liu Lei carefully guessed. He was a little nervous, and the room was dark. Obviously, Song Zihan hadn't come back yet.

In these five years, Liu Lei had seen her hard work and hardships. He felt both heartache and anger. Why did a woman have to compete with a man?

He turned on the light and looked at the familiar furnishings inside the house. The smile on his face grew even wider. The furniture was still there. Even the place where they placed remained unchanged.

After looking through the hall again, Liu Lei walked into the room, and even the two of them have not changed beds yet. Furthermore, there was still a pair of pillows on the bed, he took off his jacket, closed his eyes, and laid down on the bed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get married, but the person in his heart had always been here. At this moment, Liu Lei had decided to propose to Song Zihan.

After lying on the bed for a while and reliving his past memories, Liu Lei got up. He originally wanted to wait here for Zi Han to come back, but this time, he felt something was missing.
