"If Mr. Lu is okay, I'll leave first." Chen Mengchu's tone was full of alienation. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Lu Jingxiao grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Chen Mengchu took a step back and pulled his hand back from Lu Jingxiao.
"Explain why I left so suddenly that year."
It was her business whether she wanted to listen or not, but she had to explain it clearly. He couldn't go on like this, otherwise he would really miss her.
"Speak." Chen Mengchu uttered a light word and reached out to rub the wrist that Lu Jingxiao had pulled.
It’s not that she dislikes him, but Lu Jingxiao is a man after all. Even if he didn’t use any force, suddenly grabbing her wrist would still make her feel uncomfortable.
Lu Jingxiao looked at Chen Mengchu's actions, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. Does she dislike him so much?
Just when he thought so, Chen Mengchu took her hand away, and he caught a glimpse of the red on her wrist.
His obsidian eyes tightened in an instant.
She didn't do it because she was disgusted but because it hurt.
He quickly stepped forward, picked up her hand and examined it. Looking at the red mark, he blamed himself.
"I'm sorry for hurting you." Lu Jingxiao's eyes were full of apology and heartache.
His apology made Shen Mengchu feel a little uncomfortable. How could someone like him bow his head and apologize? But he kept saying "I'm sorry" to himself over and over again.
"It's okay." Chen Mengchu pulled his hand back from Lu Jingxiao's hand again, "Mr. Lu, just be careful next time."
"Mr. Lu, are you going to explain? If not, I'm leaving." There was not the slightest change on Chen Mengchu's face from beginning to end. There was only a look of indifference and alienation.
Listening to her words, Lu Jingxiao understood that she didn't want to hear any other explanation except that one.
So he got straight to the point and told her the real reason why he left that day.
"I didn't mean to leave that day. I wanted to wait for you to wake up and then take you away with me, but my mother suddenly fainted and was hospitalized. I saw you were still asleep and couldn't bear to wake you up, so I left the hospital first."
He didn't mean to leave, but he had to leave because his mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized.
"Xiaochu, I really didn't know it would be like this."
If he had known this would happen, he would never have left her alone.
"So this was all destined, wasn't it?"
If it wasn't destined, how could it be such a coincidence?
It so happened that his mother had an accident that day.
She hated him, hated him for destroying everything she had, but when she gave birth to those two children, she didn't hate him as much, but she couldn't forgive him either.
If it wasn't him that day, I might not have...
"Mr. Lu, I stayed here just for the two children." Chen Mengchu emphasized these two words deliberately.
It's just for the children, no other feelings.
"Mr. Lu has finished explaining. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Without waiting for Lu Jingxiao's consent, Chen Mengchu turned and left.
Looking at Chen Mengchu's back, Lu Jingxiao's eyes were full of self-blame and guilt.
He didn't expect her to forgive him immediately, but he would prove it little by little with his actions.
Whether it was six years ago or six years later.
In Lu Jingxiao's heart, there is always only her.
It was just an accident six years ago, but six years later, there will be no such accident again.
Xiaochu, I won't let you leave again.
Lu Jingxiao looked at Chen Mengchu's back, the determination in his eyes was unquestionable.
………………
In the room.
Chen Mengchu received a call from Gu Yunzhou as soon as he returned to his room.
"Xiaochu, how is it? Have you found Yiyi and Xiaoyan?" Gu Yunzhou's voice was a little urgent, and his tone was filled with unconcealable worry.
"We found them. Yiyi and Xiaoyan are fine. They just ran here out of fun." Chen Mengchu explained, also to prevent Gu Yunzhou from worrying.
"When will you come back? I'll pick you up at the airport." Gu Yunzhou asked Chen Mengchu when he would return.
He knew that Shen Mengchu had no relatives in Yuncheng, and since he had found Shen Shiyi and Shen Shiyan, they should be back soon.
"I...I'm not going back for the time being."
Chen Mengchu still said it out.
"What's wrong? Is something holding you back?" Gu Yunzhou asked Chen Mengchu softly.
Why did she stay in Yuncheng?
Chen Mengchu didn't know how to start.
Seeing her in such a dilemma, Gu Yunzhou probably guessed some of the reasons.
"Xiaochu, is it because of him?" Gu Yunzhou's voice was still gentle, but when he mentioned the word "he", his voice became a little colder.
Chen Mengchu didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
"Did he force you?"
With her personality, she would not have stayed in Yuncheng if Lu Jingxiao had not done something.
"No, I ran into a friend."
Chen Mengchu didn't want to make Gu Yunzhou worry. After all, this was her business, and involving him would not be good. He had been good enough to her, and she couldn't implicate him anymore.
"Xiaochu."
"Yunzhou, the company still needs you."
Afraid that Gu Yunzhou would come secretly, Chen Mengchu had no choice but to use this method to ask him not to come.
After all, with Lu Jingxiao's strength, if Gu Yunzhou clashed with him, he would suffer in the end.
Listening to Chen Mengchu's request, Gu Yunzhou agreed to her request, "Okay, the company has me, so you don't have to worry."
"Thank you, Yunzhou."
"Xiaochu, you know, I don't want a thank you." He never wanted her thanks.
"Yiyi is looking for me, I won't say anything for now." Without waiting for Gu Yunzhou's answer, Chen Mengchu quickly hung up the phone.
I'm sorry Yunzhou, besides thank you, all I can say is "I'm sorry".
Looking at the hung up phone, Gu Yunzhou smiled bitterly.
She couldn't tell how many times, but every time he said this, she would make an excuse, without exception.
Xiaochu, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Can't you see that I really like you?
Maybe she could see it, but just didn't want to admit it.
Gu Yunzhou laughed at himself, a bitter smile on his face.
Forget it, as long as she is happy, nothing else matters.
Gu Yunzhou put away his phone and went to the company.
And the other side.
Chen Mengchu decided one thing.
Now that I'm back, I should take some things back.
It's time for them to pay back what they owe.
————————
the next day.
"Mr. Lu, can you do me a favor?" Chen Mengchu asked Lu Jingxiao in a very polite tone.
"Okay, you say?"
Lu Jingxiao agreed first and then asked her what was the matter.
"I have to go out for something. Please help me look after the two children."
Even though the child was his, she would still ask for his opinion, because she only knew that the child was hers, and only hers.
"sure."
"If you need my help, just let me know."
Lu Jingxiao was afraid that she would be embarrassed to speak, so he said it first.
