When he leaves this time, he even intends to stay in America permanently... To stay there permanently... And perhaps never even to return to China?
And we’ll only be able to chat in the game, and we’ll never interact in real life again.
The speed of Xu Wennuan’s heartbeat felt heavy all of a sudden. Every beat exhausted a great amount of strength before it could beat again. She could not explain what was wrong, but then her chest felt stuffy and it became difficult to breathe.
Although she still had a lot of work to do, Xu Wennuan was unable to focus. Sitting in her chair, she stared straight ahead into the empty space and went into a daze. She didn’t know how long she had spaced out, but she was alarmed when she realized it was already dark outside. She briefly turned her head to look inside her office and reacted again over how engulfed it was in complete darkness.
Feeling about in the dark, Xu Wennuan found her cell phone and packed up her bag using the light from the phone screen. She then put her bag on her shoulder, stood up, and rigidly walked out of her dark office.
As her vehicle was restricted from being driven at this time, Xu Wennuan exited the spa clubhouse on the ground floor instead of heading to the underground parking lot. She stood by the side of the road but didn’t try to hail any of the taxis that occasionally drove by. She gazed at the illuminated streets for a moment and began walking aimlessly along the streets in the chilling wind.
She didn’t know where she wanted to go, nor did she care, because her mind was preoccupied with the fact that Lu Bancheng would be going to America and would reside there permanently.
Xu Wennuan walked for a long distance in her stilettos. Blisters had already formed on her feet, and her heels were even bleeding, but as if she felt no pain, she continued walking obstinately without a sense of direction or destination. She didn’t know how long she had been walking; she was only forced to stop when her feet were too tired to walk any longer.
It was already late into the night and the entire city was empty and silent beyond the occasional car or two that drove by. Under the illumination of the lights, everything appeared forlorn. She stood foolishly by the side of the road with a lost expression before she turned and scanned the surrounding environment. She had subconsciously wandered into the financial district, and right across the street was Lu Bancheng’s office.
She stood in the chilling wind and lifted her head to look up at the top floor. It was dark inside Lu Bancheng’s office.
That’s right. It must be past midnight. Why would he still be in the office?
Xu Wennuan stood rooted to the ground for some time before she walked over to the side of the road. After waiting for a moment, she flagged down a taxi and headed home. When she got in the taxi, she finally realized how badly her feet were hurting.
When she reached the foot of her apartment building, Xu Wennuan paid her fare and, just as she was about to step out of the car, the pain in her feet made her draw in a breath. She forced herself to walk, limping all the way into the elevator, before she leaned against its walls to take off her stilettos.
When the elevator door opened, the barefooted Xu Wennuan beared with the pain and walked out slowly with her shoes in her hands. Before she could reach the front of her apartment, she saw someone standing outside of her apartment door, making her stop in her tracks.
