Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1050 - His Warm and Loving Gaze

Chapter 1050: His Warm and Loving Gaze

“Lu Jinwen, you’ve gone too far this time!” Lin Xuanji pulled her hands back forcefully.

Lu Jinwen got up slowly as her warm, beautiful hands left his. He looked at her and laughed huskily. “Xuanji, love and hate aren’t always direct opposites. Isn’t love entwined with hate just a form of deep love? In the end, you’re still unable to let go of that past. Now, I want to help you let it go.”

Lin Xuanji’s expression was cold. This man hadn’t changed at all. He was still coercing her, forcing her into a corner.

“What are you going to do if I don’t agree with you? Sleep with Wang Yanran downstairs?”

“Nothing will change, even in the future. I’ll still love you, dote on you and adore you. But I’m no longer pure. Xuanji, if you don’t come with me, then I’ll have no choice but to sleep with this Wang Yanran. I’ve never left you, even in the most difficult of times. In my entire life, I only have one woman, which is you. I really need you, and only you.”

A man with such power and influence like him faced many temptations as women constantly threw themselves at his feet. But his heart had never wavered for them before.

Even when she had pretended to sleep with Jun Mosheng, he hadn’t wavered.

Even when she had left into the sea all those years ago, he hadn’t given up.

Even when she had left with Chenyi four years ago, he hadn’t as well.

He had never given up on their relationship, and had always maintained that there was still a chance between them. Now, he was personally destroying any other route of retreat.

The hardest thing to overcome in this world was the passage of time. He had endured all his loneliness, protected himself all this time. He had never given in.

Now he was wagering all that he had on this single game. Winning against the entire world just to lose to her would be a fitting end as well.

Just that it was too much of a pity.

She was going to make him lose everything.

How could Lin Xuanji not know? She knew it as well, that she had come back from Country Z to return by his side, because even though her life was full of regrets, he had always stood where he was, waiting for her.

He had spent half of his life waiting for her.

Other than her, he had no one else.

Lin Xuanji’s eyess were red. Her full lips curved into an indifferent smile and she said softly, “Do as you please.”

With that, she turned and left, reaching out to close the door behind her.

But a large palm shot over, holding the door open.

He hugged her from behind, trapping her slim figure tightly in his sturdy embrace and a gentle frown marred his features. As he lowered his head to kiss her soft hair, he only said devotedly, “Xuanji, are you really... throwing me away? If I’ve done something wrong, won’t you let me apologize? I’ll apologize to you every single day, so please forgive me, alright?”

Lin Xuanji’s eyes were wet with tears, as they threatened to spill over. She reached out slowly to pry his hands away.

“No...” Lu Jinwen refused to let go.

Lin Xuanji pulled his hands away harshly, then pushed him away, slowly but firmly.

Thud. The room door closed.

She had closed the door, leaving him alone behind.

She was just short of saying one thing – Go and sleep with Wang Yanran.

Lu Jinwen’s hands hanging by his side balled into fists. He stood there frozen for a second, two, then three... he lifted his hands slowly, then knocked on the door.

He gave the door two loud, firm knocks.

“Xuanji, it’s fine if you don’t want to open the door. We’ll do this like how we did it before. I’ll knock until the door opens, alright?”

Lin Xuanji could hear the repeated knocks on her door. She rested her head against the side of the bed and pulled her legs up to herself, hugging her knees as she sat on the carpet.

She would never compromise again.

She refused to.

The man outside was a master at playing games. He was adept at playing with people as well. He was tightening the noose around her and setting her as his target.

“Xuanji, I feel so hot. I think the medicine is starting to work. It’s getting more and more uncomfortable. I really miss you.”

Lu Jinwen was burning up. Even his breath felt hot. Butler Ye had always been great at his job and the medicine he had procured this time was undoubtedly the best.

He swallowed, trying to cool himself, but his mind started to churn as it was filled with images of her.

The medicine allowed him to see his deepest wishes. The first thing that appeared in his mind was the woman he desired the most, what he was most obsessed with.

“Sir, are you alright?” Butler Ye asked.

At this moment, he heard a pair of heels approach him. Wang Yanran had come upstairs and she threw herself at him. “Mr Lu, you’ve kept me waiting for so long. Mrs Lu doesn’t want you anymore, but I do. Touch my heart, see how fast it’s beating...”

Wang Yanran clutched Lu Jinwen’s large hands and placed them against her ample chest.

...

In the room.

Lin Xuanji could hear everything from the inside. This Wang Yanran could not wait any more.

“Ah!” Wang Yanran cried out suddenly. “Mr Lu, you’re pinching me too hard.”

Lin Xuanji quickly raised her hands to cover her ears, she didn’t want to hear it.

Who cared where he was pinching Wang Yanran.

She didn’t care at all.

“Ah!” Wang Yanran cried out again, the eagerness apparent in her voice. “Mr Lu, where are you taking me? Are we doing it on the bed or the sofa tonight?”

Lu Jinwen was bringing Wang Yanran away?

In a split second, everything became quiet.

She put her hands down slowly. There were no sounds coming from the outside.

He had left.

With Wang Yanran.

Pain.

Her heart was stinging in pain.

She kept painkillers in this room. Lin Xuanji stood up and started fumbling around the drawers for her medicine.

Then she felt the sudden warmth on her hands. One drop, then two, then three. Blood was dripping from her nose.

Her nose was bleeding.

The doctor’s words echoed in her ears. “Mr Lu, we’ve managed to slow the collapse of her heart this year, but we can no longer delay the heart transplant. If we delay this any longer, the toxins from her heart are going to escape to the rest of her body. If that happens, even the heart transplant won’t help her.”

Lin Xuanji wiped the blood from her hands and nose with a piece of tissue, then threw it in the rubbish bin.

She knew that the toxins were already in her system.

The heart transplant was no longer of any use.

In the end, she couldn’t defeat time. It was too late, she had already boarded the train to the end of her life.

She had already been prepared for this a long time ago. But why was she feeling so upset now that the moment had arrived? Why was she feeling like it was such a waste?

Her eyes warmed as big, fat tears started rolling down her cheeks.

She sobbed silently.

The lonely room was filled with the sound of her stifled sobs.

Why was she crying?

She just felt like it.

“Why are you crying?”

At this moment, a magnetic voice rang out beside her ear.

Lin Xuanji raised her eyes. A tall figure was standing in front of her. In a split second, she had found herself under his warm and loving gaze.

Lu Jinwen had come.

He hadn’t left with Wang Yanran. He had returned.

“You...”

“I already said that everything would be just like before. I’ll knock and you’ll refuse to open, so I’ll let myself in.”
