Chapter 76 Kneeling to Keep
Every word that came out of her mouth was like a sharp blade stabbing into Lu Xiyan's heart, causing him to tremble with pain all over.
He never thought that his selfless efforts over the past two years would be rewarded with such heartless words from An Ning.
He looked at her with red eyes, trying to figure out whether she was sincere when she said that, but he only saw impatience in her eyes.
There was no sympathy for him.
An Ning turned her eyes away from him and walked away with her suitcase.
Lu Xiyan suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't leave!"
His voice was trembling, helpless, and without any confidence, "An Ning, you can't do this!"
"Lu Xiyan!" An Ning shook off his hand. "You're really difficult to deal with. Aren't my words clear enough?"
"I don't know!" Lu Xiyan hugged her tightly, his tall body trembling uncontrollably. "I don't understand what you mean by tired of or what game you mean. I don't understand! I only know that we have been together for two years, and the sweetness and happiness of these two years are real. We can't separate like this. We are married, and your words of ending it alone don't count!"
"An Ning..." He hugged her tightly, tears dripping on her shoulders, using both soft and hard tactics, "You can't leave me... You can't get tired of me so quickly, I will do better..."
"Lu Xiyan, stop making trouble."
An Ning pushed him hard, but he hugged her tighter. She let go of his hand helplessly, "I don't love you anymore. It's tiring to pretend. Can you please stop pestering me?"
"I don't believe it!"
Lu Xiyan almost rubbed her into his bones and blood, "I don't believe you don't love me anymore, I don't believe everything before was fake... Ningning, do you have any difficulties? Tell me, we can solve it together, please don't be like this..."
He felt helpless like a child who was suddenly abandoned. He just wanted to hold on to An Ning tightly, fearing that she would really leave if he let go.
"I don't have any hardship. I just don't love you anymore. I can't even pretend anymore!" An Ning said loudly and impatiently, "Lu Xiyan, I've made my words very clear. Why are you deceiving yourself——"
"Just consider it as me deceiving myself!"
Lu Xiyan interrupted her, his voice low and hoarse, "It doesn't matter even if you don't love me anymore, as long as I love you! You can continue to be after me, my money, and my kindness to you, and we'll still be the same as before..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard An Ning's gentle laughter, "Where do you get the confidence to say that?"
"Lu Xiyan, do you think you are still the second young master of the Lu family? You are nothing without the Lu family! The little money I got from you is not even one tenth of what Mr. Lu gave me!"
Her naked mockery scratched Lu Xiyan's bleeding heart. Slowly releasing her, he asked in disbelief, "Have you looked for my grandfather?"
A black card suddenly appeared in front of him. An Ning's slender white fingers tightly grasped the card, and she curled the corners of her lips and sneered, "Your grandfather is more generous than you. Do you know how much money is here? Thirty million! Lu Xiyan, how much is your championship prize? How many years will it take you to get thirty million? I don't have time to pretend with you for years. In front of your grandfather, just say a word and you get the money. How simple is that?"
"I'm after your money, not the grandson of the chairman of the Lu Group." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Lu Xiyan, you're so easy to fool."
The card in his hand was suddenly snatched away and thrown to the ground. Lu Xiyan's eyes were red, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, "Have you always been just doing this for money?"
"What else?" An Ning bent down in front of him and picked up the card. She wiped off the dust as if she was afraid it would get dirty, and then carefully put it into her wallet. "If not for money, why? For love?"
She chuckled, her laugh sarcastic. "Can love feed me? Can love cure my brother's illness? Can love help us build a home and pay off our debts? Can love give me a better life?"
"No!" She smiled. "Only money can do that. Thanks to you, I've been able to live so easily these past two years. But now you're worthless to me."
She patted her wallet and smiled, "This card is worth more than you."
She pulled up the suitcase and glanced at the man who was stunned. "Lu Xiyan, go back and be your high and mighty Second Young Master. Don't be so naive as to be fooled by a vain woman like me."
An Ning turned and left, but just as she reached the door of the cloakroom, a tall man suddenly stood in front of her.
Lu Xiyan stopped at the door, raised his dim eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Even if what you said is true, can you not leave?"
"I know you've been wronged in the past two years with me. It's my fault for not being able to give you a better life." He carefully took An Ning's hands, his tone almost begging, "As long as you don't leave, I can fight for it. I can take down the entire Lu Group and show you... Don't leave, okay?"
After he finished speaking, he knelt down, his handsome face was stubborn and persistent. When he raised his eyes, a line of crystal tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
"Please, Ningning..." He begged with a sob, "Don't leave me..."
He put aside all his pride and dignity, and only asked her to stay for the sake of their relationship over the past two years.
As long as she stayed, he would have a chance to redeem herself.
But--
An Ning pulled her hand back without hesitation, looked down at him, and sneered, "Lu Xiyan, don't let me look down on you like a mangy dog."
She pushed the suitcase around his kneeling figure, "We're done."
"peaceful!"
Lu Xiyan's eyes were red, and he didn't look back at her. "If you walk out of this door today, don't ever come back!"
He made harsh words, but it was his last attempt to keep her.
The sound of the suitcase wheels rolling paused, followed by a chuckle, and then resumed, disappearing at the gate.
"peaceful!"
Lu Xiyan growled almost loudly and chased after him like a madman.
It rained heavily in the early morning. The strong rain curtain made the already unclear sky even more blurry, and everywhere in sight was hazy white mist.
Lu Xiyan chased downstairs, only to see a black car speeding past him.
He hurriedly rushed to the elevator and went straight down to the garage, and then a black sports car sped out of the underground garage.
In the violent storm, the black sports car cut through the rain curtain and moved forward.
The phone in the car was connected, and Bai Yi's anxious voice came, "Brother Yan! Two hundred yards, are you going to die?"
"Brother Yan! Stop the car!"
"Lu Xiyan, stop the car!"
Lu Xiyan ignored him, stared at the speeding black car in front with red eyes, hung up the phone, and stepped on the accelerator frantically.
There was only one thought in his mind—An Ning couldn't leave! He couldn't let her go! If she left, it would really be the end for them!
But in the end, she still left.
She left without even looking back, not even giving him a glance.
......
In the dark night, something crystal clear slid down from the corner of the man's eyes.
That rainy day four years ago, he was completely soaked.
From the beginning to the end, he had no idea what he had done wrong that made her leave without looking back, and she didn't even come back to see him once in four years.
It was not until today that he fully understood that his biggest mistake was that she did not love him.
Not loving is the original sin.
The ash from his fingertips fell into the ashtray and he closed his eyes lightly.
Lu Xiyan, it’s time to give up.
