After a night of trepidation, Luoli firmly convinced herself that it was because she had not recovered from the jet lag and that she had had enough sleep in the afternoon, causing insomnia (Note: The time difference between China and Japan was only 1 hour.
The image of the beautiful woman she had seen before she went to bed kept flickering in front of her. Perhaps it was because of her profession, her brain always had a deep impression of things that had a strong image.
That charming woman…
Luoli lay on the bed and was surprised at the clear outline of her face. With just one glance, it entered her mind and heart.
Weird…
Were they related in any way?
No, absolutely not. As long as he completely abandoned the past, there would be no connection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was just past noon when Luoli received a call from Shang Yuqin, saying that he wanted to meet her.
Last night, when Han Tang returned to the restaurant reeking of alcohol, she happened to bump into her. She even said that the person who sent Han Tang back was a woman. The appearance she described sounded very similar to Luoli to him. This made him anxious but he could not tell why.
After being hospitalized for so many days, he did not see Luoli's shadow, yet he had called another person over. However, he did not have the energy to deal with everything. He could only let it go. Now that his body had recovered, it was time to settle the past.
Towards Luoli, his heart ached for sure. He was also disappointed. She must have hated him too much but he could not do anything to make it up to her. Some things were missed and there was no room for redemption.
However, could love be released just like that?
He really didn't know what would be left of his feelings if he gave up all these years of persistence.
No, the happiness he had always believed in was there. He had no reason to give up.
Over the phone, Luoli did not directly agree to his appointment. She only listened to his request silently before hanging up.
After dawdling at home for a long time, he finally made up his mind and went out.
Standing in the elevator, Luoli looked at the number that kept rising, her heart fluttering. To be honest, she really did not want to see him again. Every time they met, it was like they were torturing each other. It was like holding a double-edged sword and stabbing each other. She was also riddled with holes. The wounds that had already healed were opened again and again, and blood flowed. Even if she had the courage to face the future, there was still a prerequisite-she could only forget the pain after the scar healed.
The elevator doors opened with a 'ding' sound and it slowly arrived at his room. After another round of pacing, Luoli once again proved that she was short on action. She had finally let go of the past, but that did not mean that Shang Yuqin would be able to let it go as well. Based on her understanding of him, if this fellow became stubborn, even ten donkeys would not be able to pull him back. What would she do then?
No, she was a good horse that would not turn back. Moreover, the grass already had an owner. She did not have the habit of stealing the beauty of others. Moreover, the quality of the grass was not good. Why would she be stupid enough to hang herself on this crooked tree? She still had a beautiful forest. Perhaps God would give her a towering tree. No matter what, when he scram back to where he came from, their interaction would end. No matter how much trouble he caused, there was nothing he could do even if she was determined. After making up her mind, Luoli took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Shang Yuqin was fiddling with the documents that he had accumulated over the past few days when he heard the knock on the door. He impatiently threw down the white bomb that gave him a headache and got up to open the door. When he saw Luoli, his expression was one of shock and surprise. It was so complicated.
She forced a smile at him and stood at the door, waiting for him to speak.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Shang Yuqin turned his body sideways and made an inviting gesture. He brought her to the living room to sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you." Luoli drank her tea and cleared her throat." Are you all better?”
Shang Yuqin was a little surprised by her sudden concern, and then nodded with a smile,""I'm fine. I'm fine."
"I'm sorry." Luoli did not say anything more and apologized very directly and sincerely.
"No, I'm sorry." Shang Yuqin didn't like this kind of conversation, and it gave him a bad feeling.
"I came here today with no other intentions. Firstly, I came to see you. Secondly, I came to make things clear with you.”Luo Li stared straight at Shang Yuqin, her gaze firm.
Shang Yuqin really wished that he was an ostrich, burying his head in the sand and pretending to be ignorant. Luoli's tone was very clear. She really wouldn't give him another chance but he was truly unwilling to accept this. He had always believed that her was the only happiness he could find and all his hard work these past three years was for her. If Luoli didn't accept this, all his hard work would become a huge joke. No, he wouldn't allow it.
"There's something I need to tell you." Before Luoli could speak, Shang Yuqin interrupted," Let me finish before you make a decision, alright?"”
Luoli pursed her lips and tacitly agreed. No matter what he said, the outcome would not change.
"I told you that my current wife and I are married by agreement.”Shang Yuqin looked at Luoli's unwavering gaze and continued," Our marriage is in name only. She's very beautiful, a noble and inviolable beauty. We only got together for our own purposes, so naturally, we won't live like other couples. She has a lover in her heart, a lover that she hides very deeply. Other than her family, only I know.”
"What do you want to prove?" Luoli glanced at him contemptuously." Liu Xiahui?”
"Of course I'm not Liu Xiahui, at least not to you.”Shang Yuqin's eyes were mixed with a faint fiery heat, causing Luoli's face to burn uncontrollably.
"Don't drag me into this. We're talking about you guys now.”Luoli averted her eyes and stopped looking at him. Only then did she realize that the room was lit with a pale yellow light. The soft air was filled with tiny bits of warmth, making it a very suitable hotbed for adultery.
" Haha," Shang Yuqin chuckled. She was still shy easily. In the past, she would blush whenever he teased her. After all these years, some things were still the same. It was just that he was too self-righteous and had been played by her. "She doesn't like men."
Luoli's mouth was slightly agape, unable to react for a long time. Did she not like men? Did that mean that she liked women?
Oh my god, Luoli's mind was in a mess. If what Shang Yuqin said was true, it would not be hard to explain the purpose of the marriage between the two families. One was for money, the other was for reputation.
However, she still couldn't make sense of it. She remembered the voice on the phone clearly. The two words " Yuqin " were as gentle as water. If there was no emotion, how could it be like this? Perhaps Shang Yuqin, this blockhead, had never noticed the change in the person beside her, and had even thought that the lover in her heart was a woman.
"There's no future between us. That's why I chose to marry her.”Shang Yuqin didn't dare to let go of the slightest change in Luoli's expression. He was a little selfish, kicking her away after using her, ruining an innocent woman's reputation, but he did it for her! Could Luoli accept it, but could she understand it?
"Should I call you heartless or slow?”Luoli shook her head helplessly." Even if I believe that you're telling the truth, it's only a representation of the past, not the present. You chose this marriage, so you should take responsibility. Besides, I don't think your wife doesn't have any feelings for you. On the contrary, I think she loves you.”
"Don't you understand? She loves women, so it's impossible for us.”Shang Yuqin was a little annoyed. Why couldn't she understand such an obvious thing?
"You're the one who doesn't understand." Luoli sighed." Women are different from men. Once a woman gets married, she will put all her thoughts on her family, even if she used to love a woman. Even if your marriage is a means to use each other at the beginning, as long as this marriage exists, she will unconsciously maintain it. If you think too simply about your relationship, you will hurt her.”
"Damn it, what do you want me to say to make you believe me?”Shang Yuqin was already on the verge of going berserk. He scratched his already messy hair and began pacing back and forth in front of Luoli.
"It's not that I don't believe you. Let me tell you this. Even if you're divorced now, it's impossible between us.”Luoli did not want to explain anything to him anymore. Men and women's thinking was too different. If she continued, she would go berserk.
"Do you hate me that much? You won't give me any chance?" Shang Yuqin was very hurt. He had done so many things that hurt others and himself, but it was all for her.
"I don't hate you anymore." Luoli announced coldly," We can't go back. The moment you made those choices, the outcome was already decided.”
"Don't say that you did all that for me. Don't forget that you did it for yourself. Humans were selfish. They couldn't even protect themselves, so how could they talk about love? You're not that great." Luoli stopped him from saying anything and stood up." I've said what I needed to say. If you still insist on being stubborn, I have no choice. Goodbye."”
There was another knock on the door. Shang Yuqin looked at the door with resentment and stomped his foot hard before opening it.
