“No, you don’t know!” Feng Guang interrupted him decisively, her eyes fixed on his face. “I’m not thinking of leaving because I know you have a different way of thinking than ordinary people, but because I’m unsure… I’m scared that you don’t really love me… You just think of me as one of those fleeting interests you had before, Lu Chen… I’ve never been able to believe that a man like you could like me.”
Lu Chen's pupils contracted.
He didn't know that Feng Guang also had the same inferiority complex and uncertainty as him. In his eyes, Feng Guang was perfect. Whether it was her spoiled princess temperament or her willful and capricious nature, these were all perfect. But in Feng Guang's eyes, she was full of flaws. Perhaps Lu Chen's feelings for her were just the kind of interest he had for an object.
It's like when someone catches a dragonfly as a child, plucks out its wings, and then watches it slowly crawl on the ground, unable to fly or escape far. Lu Chen has made moves against the people Feng Guang cares about one after another. Feng Guang always believes that he is like that dragonfly. Once the dragonfly loses its wings, human interest will end there.
"Don't cry... Fengguang, don't cry..." Lu Chen helplessly wiped away her tears. Her sobs made him feel like he couldn't breathe. He held her and sat her down on the chair next to him, kissing her face and lips repeatedly. He hurriedly murmured, "I love you... I really love you..."
Long ago, he didn't understand the meaning of the word "love." Was it like Lu Heng and Yu Li, a pair of bickering lovers? Or was it that Shen Xing was willing to give up his family business for Yan Niannian?
Lu Chen thought these were all foolish actions, until... one day six years ago, he chose to use his own life to stop Feng Guang from leaving. That was the first time Lu Chen realized that there could be someone who could outlive his own life.
The feeling was like an empty heart suddenly being filled to the brim, making him feel so comfortable that he just wanted to sigh.
Feng Guang clutched the hem of his white doctor's coat, enduring his kiss, her voice still trembling with suppressed sobs, "I know... you always care. I love my parents more than you, but you and they are different, Lu Chen. I can't be a part of my parents' world, just as they can't be a part of ours. My father has my mother, and my mother has my father, but you only have me, and I only have you... So... so please don't hurt them anymore, okay?"
"Okay..." Lu Chen responded softly, kissing her lips again, gently yet passionately.
Shen Xing and Yan Niannian had already been dragged away by other people from the cake shop. The cake shop had been bought by Lu Chen six years ago, and the employees were people that Lu Chen had brought out of the mental hospital back then. Now that they saw the boss and his wife together, they were very perceptive and closed the door and drew the curtains before leaving quietly.
Feng Guang didn't notice that anyone else had appeared. When Lu Chen let her catch her breath, she whispered again, "And Xiao Xiao... Lu Chen, the reason I like Xiao Xiao so much is because she's the daughter you gave me, do you understand?"
“I understand…” Lu Chen unbuttoned her clothes, kissed her collarbone, and whispered, “I understand now…”
