The debts before Chapter 153 are wiped clean.
Not long after, they all left.
Lu Jingxiao continued to cling to Luo Zhiwei and plead, "Baby, let's not go out, okay?"
Luo Zhiwei soothed Lu Jingxiao's restless heart as if coaxing a child: "I promised you yesterday that I wouldn't go out. What do you want to do today? I'll go with you, okay?"
"Really?"
Lu Jingxiao's eyes shone brightly, like a child receiving a beloved gift, his gaze filled with stars... and he was very gentle.
"Okay, whatever you say, I'll do."
I'm willing to do anything to be with him anyway.
However, Lu Jingxiao didn't make any extra movements. He simply pulled Luo Zhiwei's arm, and the two of them went to the door. He pushed her onto the bed, and then... he fell down on the other side.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
What does this mean?
Sleeping?
Is this what Lu Jingxiao wants to do?
"Baby, will you sleep with me?"
Lu Jingxiao's voice came from his chest, muttering pitifully, "Baby, let's not break up, okay? I can't sleep if you break up with me, I can't sleep, I feel so bad..."
Weiwei, forgive my despicable act. I just want to give myself another chance.
I don't want to lose you.
I don't care about those external things you care about; I only want you.
Luo Zhiwei felt a pang of pain in her heart. She raised her hand to gently comfort Lu Jingxiao, her voice tinged with regret: "I'm sorry, Lu Jingxiao, it's all my fault. If... if I had been braver and had gotten the marriage certificate back then, maybe... things would be different now."
She was twenty-one years old at the time, and Lu Jingxiao was twenty-two. They were only half a year apart, which is why... they were able to be together and go to and from school together.
If they hadn't been afraid of Zhao Tingguo back then, their children might already be in kindergarten.
Unfortunately...
Lu Jingxiao's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. I knew it, I knew Weiwei wouldn't forget me, wouldn't dislike me, Weiwei loved me.
Luo Zhiwei continued, "Lu Jingxiao, I really can't be with you. Even if I haven't had a relationship with anyone else, I'm not clean anymore. Lu Jing can't have a mistress with a dark past in someone else's hands."
"Do you know, the reason I insisted on staying together from the beginning was because of you. As long as you lived, I would never get married and would just wait it out with Zhao Tingguo. If I could survive, you could too... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Lu Jingxiao felt as if he had been punched in the heart, and his heart ached terribly.
These are indeed the things that Weiwei cares about.
Weiwei, believe me, what I care about is you as a person.
Lu Jingxiao was heartbroken beyond measure. Although he knew everything from Gu Youran, hearing Weiwei say it with his own ears was like a hundred claws tearing at his heart.
He really wanted to hold Luo Zhiwei in his arms.
But he is still 'sick'.
Lu Jingxiao shifted slightly, feigning madness, and pressed Luo Zhiwei into his arms with his head on the pillow.
"Baby, don't talk, let's go to sleep."
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly, a hint of relief in her eyes.
Although Lu Jingxiao may have already learned about her from Ranran, he might not remember it even if he told her now.
But it doesn't matter much to her. The most important thing is that she has already said it, and once she has said it, it won't hurt her anymore.
I don't know if Lu Jingxiao understood, but his actions were really gentle.
"Lu Jingxiao, get well soon. I have something to tell you when you're better."
Luo Zhiwei's voice was muffled, revealing a hint of self-blame and tenderness.
Lu Jingxiao acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued to hold her as they slept.
**
Two days later, Lu Jingxiao's 'condition' began to improve. He was able to communicate normally with Luo Zhiwei and even wanted to go to the company to handle official business.
However, he would have a relapse when Luo Zhiwei tried to kick him out.
This situation continued until... Gu Hancheng brought Gu Hanchi to the Lu family villa.
Luo Zhiwei said helplessly, "Lu Jingxiao, your illness is almost cured now. You should go to the company to handle things. What's the point of staying at home?"
Lu Jingxiao feigned ignorance and looked at her blankly: "Weiwei, I'm not sick, how can you say I am?!"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Okay, okay, you're not sick.
The two were playfully fighting in the villa when Gu Hancheng and Gu Hanchi walked in.
"Jingxiao, Weiwei..."
Gu Hancheng's voice interrupted their playful banter. Lu Jingxiao and Luo Zhiwei turned to look at them with serious expressions, their expressions mirroring each other.
Lu Jingxiao spoke first, his voice icy: "Uncle Gu, Third Master Gu, what brings you two here?"
Gu Hancheng glanced at Luo Zhiwei with a complex expression, wanting to greet her, but realizing he had no right to do so, he hesitated, "I..."
He then looked at Lu Jingxiao and said, "I brought my third brother here today to apologize to you."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Gu Hanchi's eyes were filled with resentment, but it was his elder brother's request, and he had no choice but to do it.
Gu Hanchi took a deep breath and said coldly, "I'm sorry, both of these incidents were my own doing. I made malicious assumptions about Miss Luo's character. I sincerely apologize."
Gu Hanchi turned and gave Lao Wang a wink, and Lao Wang placed the prepared gifts in front of Luo Zhiwei.
"This is a small token of my appreciation; I hope you will accept it."
Lu Jingxiao didn't even glance at the gifts. A mocking smile played on his lips. "Does Third Master Gu think my Lu family is lacking in these gifts?"
Gu Hancheng explained somewhat helplessly, "These are just a small token. I think the Lu family would be interested in that piece of land in the south of the city. My third brother is willing to give it up, but the Lu family needs to develop it together with the Luo family..."
Lu Jingxiao raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Are you sure this is Third Master Gu's idea?"
Look how dark his face has become.
If he and Weiwei were to take this land, they would probably be skinned alive by Master Gu.
"Of course it was his idea. This is just a small token of his appreciation, so please don't refuse it and accept it." Gu Hancheng said helplessly, "Now that this matter is settled, let's put our previous grudges behind us. Don't let what happened before affect your relationship with Yulin."
The Gu family and the Lu family are old friends, and their relationship cannot be damaged.
Lu Jingxiao did not answer. Instead, he turned to Luo Zhiwei and asked softly, "Weiwei, you are the victim. Are you satisfied with this way of handling things? If not, then make them apologize again."
They all have time anyway. As long as they're slightly satisfied, nothing else matters.
"What?"
Gu Hanchi felt like there was something wrong with his ears. What nonsense was Lu Jingxiao talking about?
Apologize again?
Is that something a human would say?
Gu Hancheng was losing face, and he said in a deep voice, "Jingxiao, this matter..."
"Whether I forgive you or not is up to my Weiwei. What you say is useless. You think you can appease my Weiwei with a piece of land worth 3 billion?"
We'll have to see if my Weiwei likes it too.
Luo Zhiwei suddenly looked up: "Mr. Gu, Third Master Gu, let bygones be bygones, and let's not have any contact with each other in the future."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Hancheng became agitated...
