Luo Ying finally looked up at Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao’s breath was taken away by the pain and desperation in her eyes.
“Are you asking me to wait? Why should I?” Luo Ying stared into his familiar eyes and walked up to him. “I woke up in the hospital and received the news that you were going to marry Lin Lu. I couldn’t believe it. I personally went after you only to hear you say, “I’m already tired of you. Do you remember those words?”
Each step Luo Ying took only seemed to shatter the remaining presence of cordiality between the two of them. Their old wounds were being stripped bloody again.
Before Luo Ying could finish, Lu Zhao swooped in and put his arm around her waist, shouting, “No! No, I will never get tired of you.”
“The thought of losing you scares me more than anything else.” Lu Zhao held Luo Ying in his arms. He could not bear to see Luo Ying’s expression. Pain filled his chest.
Over his shoulder and out of sight, Luo Yings lips curled into a cunning smile.
She had perfected her movie star eyes and dialogue through extensive rehearsal. She was certain that anyone who took in her performance would be overwhelmed with guilt.
“Then why did you want a divorce? Why did you say those words? Lu Zhao, did you push me away with your own hands to save me?” Luo Ying wanted to hear Lu Zhao confess personally.
For a full two seconds, Lu Zhao said nothing. In the end, he said hoarsely, “Lu Wen put two kinds of poison in my body. Other than the blood of the poison master’s daughter, there was no other cure. But I couldn’t find her at all.”
“I was prepared for the end. You’re my wife. With me dead, Lu Wen would definitely come after you, so I could only pretend to compromise and get a divorce. Lin Lu is just a shield. I used the Lin Family to make a deal with her. Other than that, we share absolutely nothing. I just wanted you to stay away from the Lu Familys bloody war. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to protect you in my final moments.” Lu Zhao lowered his head and gently kissed Luo Yings hair.
“Lu Zhao, did you think I would have liked that? Have you ever thought about how sudden and painful it was for me?” Luo Ying tried to push him away. “Have you ever thought about how much I’ll blame myself and regret not spending the last few days with you when I find out the truth one day after the divorce?
Lu Zhao held her in a tight embrace, his eyes filled with sorrow and remorse. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I kept it from you.”
Lu Zhao’s abs felt really good. Luo Ying was secretly sorry, but she pushed him away with force. “Enough.
This time, Lu Zhao’s performance was not bad, but Luo Ying was not about to let this matter go so easily.
“But the Lu Family is still looming over us. Isn’t this the best scenario that could possibly exist for us right now, in your opinion?” Luo Ying raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “I’m just a divorcee. The dispute in the Lu Family will not affect me. I have money, a career, friends, and new people by my side. Time will smooth everything out. I will live a good life. Isn’t this the result of your plan?”
For a brief moment, Lu Zhao was rendered speechless.
Yes, this was the stability he desired for Luo Ying.
Everything about this wonderful life, however, was excruciatingly painful for him. Even more so after she said, “a new person by my side,” he almost immediately wanted to protest.
The thought of it brought him intolerable pain.
Luo Ying did not wait for a response from Lu Zhao. She could tell he hadn’t thought it through. “Forget it, I’m exhausted… I need to rest.”
“I’m sorry,” Lu Zhao said in a low voice.
Luo Ying did not respond. She brushed past Lu Zhao before reaching for a glass of warm water. She walked to the second-floor guest room, and Lu Zhao silently followed behind her.
What Luo Ying desired was to be able to face both wealth and poverty, sickness and health.
She was stronger than Lu Zhao had imagined, but all he wanted to do was keep her safe under his wings and keep her as an innocent princess who knew nothing.
Today, it was the Lu Family. What else could it be tomorrow? How many times would this miscommunication and estrangement have to happen if Lu Zhao had always thought this way?
If Lu Zhao kept this up, they would never get back together.
Luo Ying raised her cup and took a sip of water. She was finally able to moisten her throat. Arguing was extremely exhausting.
However, as Luo Ying ascended the stairs, she experienced a wave of dizziness. Suddenly, her vision went black!
“Crash!” The cup shattered on the wooden floor, spilling water everywhere..
