Chapter 842: When Did You Become so Obedient?

He said he would lower his head first...

Lin Xuanji froze, she was astonished by his words. It’s been so many years, even when they fought with each other so badly, he had never once backed down and lowered his head. He was never willing to lower his head. But now, after a few decades, he had finally learned to lower his head and back down.

She smirked. “Lu Jinwen, you’ve spent 20 years learning to lower your head and I’ve spent 20 years learning to never lift up my head. It’s not just because I don’t want to lift my head anymore, but it’s because I’ve used up all of my energy on you.”

Lu Jinwen’s expression turned stern as he looked at her.

Her gaze had changed ever since she came back, all the love, hate and other emotions had all disappeared. All that was left behind in was tenderness in her gaze, a motherly kind of warmth.

But he knew she hadn’t forgotten about the past. She hadn’t forgotten about it all.

She hadn’t forgotten about the pain she had suffered through. She just chose to disregard him, she was smart enough to not fight against him anymore. She just chose to be... cold-hearted towards him.

Just like now, even when he lowered his head, she would never lift her head again.

He understood that even if he put in the effort and spent the rest of his life trying to get her back, he wouldn’t ever be able to be alongside her. She was already too far away from him.

A sardonic smile hinted at the edge of his lips. “It’s fine, I’ve led a normal life that wasn’t great, yet wasn’t too bad when I was with you. You claim that you’d never lift your head again, but from what I can remember, you’ve never actually lifted your head before. I’ve never felt your love for me at all.”

And look, wasn’t he still alive and living even without her love? He didn’t feel anything different, he didn’t feel like he had lost anything at all.

She had been far away from him all this while.

Looking in the man’s eyes, Lin Xuanji raised her brows. “You’re correct about that, you’ve never felt my love for you at all. A woman who sent you into that deadly place, Bangkok No.1, how could she even love you? I pretended to be mentally unsound for two whole years and staged an escape, even sleeping with Jun Mosheng and giving birth to his son. My older sister on the other hand took in the toxic gas and ruined her health just for you. Compared with my betrayal, she has true feelings for you.”

He had always assumed that she didn’t love him enough, or rather, she didn’t love him at all.

And so he had never experienced bliss, and also never experienced loss.

Lu Jinwen’s face instantly turned somber once she mentioned the past. Though he hadn’t shown any emotions on his face, his voice was low and almost dangerous. “You can shut up now, I don’t want to hear you talk anymore.”

Shut up.

He wanted her to shut up.

Once she mentioned the past, he had suddenly become hostile. Lin Xuanji coughed, she felt a weird taste in her mouth.

“What’s the matter?” A cold voice interrupted her silent inner musing. Lin Xuanji’s eyes watered from the cough and she lifted her head to look at him before she let out a chuckle.

Lu Jinwen felt a twinge in his chest, why did she have to look at him with such a gaze?

What kind of gaze was that even?

It was one of regret, languidness, pity and somewhat like she had successfully taken her revenge.

Her eyes were beautiful when they shone, so many years had passed but they were still as beautiful as they were before.

She didn’t speak, and Lu Jinwen’s heart sank even more. His voice was somewhat annoyed. “Are you a mute? I asked you a question, why did you cough?”

He then lowered his head, placing his cheek on her forehead and nuzzling against her. “You caught a cold?”

Her temperature was normal, she didn’t have a fever.

Once she felt the man nuzzling himself against her to feel her body temperature, she stretched her arm to push him away. “You were the one who asked me to shut up, I’m fine.”

He had asked her to shut up earlier on and so she stopped speaking, not even uttering a single word.

Lu Jinwen opened the passenger seat’s door and placed her on the seat, his movements light and gentle. He let out a chuckle and said, “When did you become so obedient? You really shut up when I asked you to shut up, hm? What if I say that I wanna sleep with you tonight, are you gonna let me sleep with you?”

“...Lu Jinwen, you’re already 50 years old, can you stop thinking about those things all the time?”

Lu Jinwen then crouched over and put on her seatbelt for her. He continued to raise his brows seductively, revealing a mature man’s charms. “Even when I reach 80 years old, I’d still think about... screwing you.”

“...”

He was insane!

...

The luxury car was parked at the entrance of the villa and Lu Jinwen alighted from the car.

The maid opened the doors and greeted him, “Sir.”

“Jinwen, you’re back?” Lin Xuanyin quickly ran over excitedly. She hadn’t expected Lu Jinwen to ever come back, he rarely came back in the past three years and yet he was back today. To say she was surprised was an understatement, she was ecstatic!

Lin Xuanyin quickly ran to the front door, bending down to personally help Lu Jinwen change his shoes.

“There’s no need for you to do that,” he spoke with an indifferent tone.

Lin Xuanyin froze, she lifted her head to look at the man as she had an ominous feeling in her heart.

Lu Jinwen just stood there, his glistening leather shoes with a single speck of dust on it and he had one hand in his pocket. His looks were just like a perfect artwork under the faint yellow lights, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of him.

“Jinwen, what’s the matter?”

Lu Jinwen didn’t speak, Butler Ye appeared and handed a document to Lin Xuanyin.

Lin Xuanyin took it from Butler Ye and with a thump, she collapsed on the carpeted ground once she took a look at it. It was a divorce agreement.

H-He really wanted to get a divorce!

Lin Xuanji had just asked him to get a divorce and he really rushed back to get a divorce in the middle of the night.

Lu Jinwen glanced at Lin Xuanyin with a stern expression on his face. “Xuanyin, just put your signature on the divorce agreement, hm?”

“Madam Xuanyin, here’s a pen.”

Butler Ye presented her with a fountain pen.

“...”

Lin Xuanyin’s pupils contracted, she swept Butler Ye’s arm away and the fountain pen just fell on the carpeted ground.

She climbed forward, grabbing Lu Jinwen’s firm calves. “Jinwen, I don’t want to get a divorce. I’m your Mrs Lu, I’ll never get a divorce!”

Lu Jinwen remained impassive. “Xuanyin, you can take a look at the terms of the divorce agreement. The Lu Corporation will be investing in DHA Diamonds, isn’t that what your father wished for the most, for me to support you all for the rest of your lives?”

The man wasn’t being sarcastic, it was a piece of cake for him to support the Lin family for the rest of their lives with his financials. However, Lin Xuanyin could sense that his words were sarcastic.

“Jinwen, are you making a deal with me? Our marriage isn’t a deal!”

Before she could even continue, Lu Jinwen forced a laugh out and took his hand out from his pocket. He slowly crouched down. “Xuanyin, it’s going to be no fun if you put it in such a way. Our marriage was a deal from the very start. You saved my life and I gave you the title as my wife in exchange.”

Lu Jinwen then pursed his lips into an indifferent arc. “You’re not satisfied with that? Name your terms, I’ll get Butler Ye to add it in the agreement. You want more property, private jets, commercial buildings? I can give you all the money in the world, so much you’d never be able to deplete it.”

Head shaking violently, Lin Xuanyin clutched onto Lu Jinwen’s large palm. “No, no, I don’t want any of those. I just want you, Jinwen.”
