And she finally saw his face clearly—even though it was haggard and tired, and even if his chin was covered with stubble, it was still so handsome.

"How is he?" He asked.

"Good." She replied.

Then silence.

Time is a ruthless blade, cutting her courage to pursue love, but giving her a heart full of holes.

"Your phone." He stretched out his hand, "I went to the Public Security Bureau to get it back." ”

Xue Zuining didn't answer.

"Return to its rightful owner."

Junrong was stunned, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, "Xue Zuining, even if you hate me, you can ......"

"What to hate or not, forgive or not, let's not say these words." Xue Zuining interrupted him lightly, "Let's find a place to talk." ”

As the words fell, she walked to the elevator.

Lu Huaining looked at her petite and slender back standing in front of the elevator, and when the elevator door opened and she walked in, it made him feel as if she was walking out of his life, and the pain in his chest was as clear as that.

Xue Zuining stood in the elevator and looked at him, his eyes calm.

Lu Huaining walked over, entered before the ladder door closed, and then pressed and held the elevator stop button.

Xue Zuining froze, raised his eyes and glared at him, "This is not your home, I said I was looking for a talk about-"

The unfinished words were swallowed into another mouth by the sudden kiss, and the arm that took her into her arms around her waist on the double ring was amazingly powerful, and the fierce domineering that hated to rub her into her body or blood did not give Xue Zuining the slightest chance to struggle.

She thrust and rubbed in her mouth, and despite her pain, protest, and struggle, she locked her firmly between herself and the metal wall, plundering wildly.

He hadn't eaten for two days and one night, and he had experienced a vicious fight and nightmares, Xue Zuining's thin body couldn't use any strength to push him.

She gave up struggling and closed her eyes to wipe out all the emotions on her face.

Lu Huaining stopped, but still suppressed her body, and even increased the force in his hand, forcing Xue Zuining to open his eyes again and look at him.

His expression was cold, and his dark eyes were as sharp as a leopard, staring at the indifference and indifference released from her watery eyes.

"There's a camera in the elevator." Xue Zuining reminded him coldly.

Lu Huaining looked at her and didn't move, Xue Zuining clearly saw her expressionless self in his eyes - so strange that she couldn't believe it, she could be so indifferent in the face of the man she had loved all along.

"Xue Zuining, I have something to tell you." After a long time, Lu Huaining, who suppressed his restless emotions and had some beards, spoke, his hot and humid breath brushed Xue Zuining's cheeks, Xue Zuining blinked slowly, and his tone was indifferent, "Can you let go of me and say more?" I'm cold. ”

She was wearing only a hospital gown, there was no heating when she left the ward, and her body temperature was lost quickly, plus he would be pressed against the cold metal wall, and she felt that her whole back was cold.

Lu Huaining stepped back slightly, but the hand around her waist never left, still holding her in his arms, but the positions of the two were reversed.

Xue Zuining knew that it was useless to struggle, but once again reminded him that there was a camera in the elevator.

This time, Lu Huaining had to let go, then took off his coat and threw it on the camera, covering it steadily.

When he turned around, Xue Zuining spoke, "Say whatever you want to say." ”

Lu Huaining paused, and her heroic eyebrows were twisted by the alienation in her tone.

He stared deeply at her pale face, and his voice softly condensed the feelings hidden in his heart for a long time into three words, "I love you." ”

The originally dull atmosphere suddenly changed, because Xue Zuining smiled.

But what Lu Huaining saw in her eyes was not happiness or surprise, but self-deprecation and ridicule.

"You love me?"

Xue Zuining laughed so hard that tears flowed out.

This man actually said that he loved her at this time—when she had already decided to break off with him completely, when she was so exhausted that she had no strength to love again, when she was so devastated by him that she owed another man a love debt that she could not repay in this life.

Everyone said that the president of Sheng Tian was wise and introverted, calm and shrewd, and he was scheming and calculating, and it is only now that she has truly seen his shrewdness.

Because he had a glimpse of her inner thoughts, he wanted to trap her with these three words.

She shook her head, tears falling, but the corners of her mouth were curved, and the expression on her face couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing.

This man will always be like this, hurting her without knowing it, and only when he realizes that she is leaving, he will give her a trace of warmth.

But she didn't need it anymore, she didn't want it anymore, and she couldn't ask for it anymore.

No matter how strong a person is, he can't withstand one injury after another. What's more, her heart is actually more fragile than anyone else, and she needs care more than anyone else.

"Let's let each other go. Yesterday is like yesterday, and they will start again in the future and live well. Rather than all be miserable, it's better to break it early, and it should be—"

"I'm not allowed!" Lu Huaining interrupted in a low voice, his expression was as cold as a cold pool, and even the tendons in the corners of his forehead clearly bloomed.

"I'm not consulting you, I'm not asking for your opinion, so it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree." Compared to his anger, Xue Zuining was too calm.

And the heart is really sharp and painful.

"And," she looked at him bravely, her gaze unyielding, clear and blinding, "we have broken up, or did you personally agree, have you forgotten?" ”

An indifferent sentence, but it was like a thorn in Lu Huaining's heart, and it hurt so much that he couldn't help himself.

The original letting go was just a stopgap measure, wanting to surprise her again after finding her daughter, and then let her return to him.

It's just that he didn't expect things to turn out to be where they are today.

If......

As soon as remorse grew in his heart, he immediately suppressed it and did not allow his decision to be changed.

One wrong step, one wrong step, the matter has come to this, there is no way back, you can only make mistakes and put them to death.

It's just that now she wants to leave and turn to the arms of others, how can he bear to share his love with other men, how can he bear other men holding her hand, kissing her lips, and caressing her body......

Xue Zuining......" He said with difficulty, realizing that he had lost the language ability to defend himself at this moment.

Xue Zuining didn't look at him because his struggling expression and flustered eyes made her hurt.

"We ...... Can we ...... Don't come this far......" It was rare to finally speak, and there was a hint of almost pleading in his tone, "I know that you hate me for deceiving you, but I did that because I didn't want you to be hurt again...... I agreed to break up because I was afraid that your emotions would be out of control and cause depression, but I didn't want to give up on you. ”

"I understand that you don't want me to be hurt again to hide my story about my daughter's abduction, and you are afraid that you have given me hope that at the end of the day, in exchange for more complete despair. I really understand why you're doing this. Xue Zuining smiled coldly and helplessly, "It's understandable, but I hope in my heart that you can tell me when you learn the truth of the matter, even if the final result is to make me more desperate, as long as you are by my side, I have the motivation to bravely hold on." ”

She looked up at him, "It's you who have missed the opportunity to confess to me again and again. And now that my daughter was kidnapped and killed because of you, how do you want me to face you in the future? ”

Wei An's figure was suddenly shocked, "You...... Blame me for attracting the enemy's revenge and affecting my daughter? ”

Xue Zuining stopped making a sound.

Blame it or not, she never hated him. It is the right choice to be able to calm down and make it clear in person, and go their own way in the future.

"You insist on breaking it?" He spoke again, a subtle tension creeping through his eyes as he waited for a response.

"I hope you will be perfect."

The cold black eyes could not hide the disappointment, but they tried to restrain the emotions that wanted to go crazy several times.

I still remember that on a certain day, she said, please leave my life.

Now she said please, again, still asking him to fulfill her and strip her from his life.

"I can't."

To Xue Zuining's surprise, he didn't say "dreaming" again this time.

"You love me, it's just that there's so much going on at the moment, you need time to calm down, I'll give you time, you can calm down for as long as you want. But it's definitely not a one-size-fits-all. ”

"It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with what I said." Xue Zuining's tone was light, obviously tired, "That's it, stop torturing each other, it's already come to this point, aren't you tired?" ”

"I'll take you back to your room to rest." Lu Huaining avoided answering, leaned over and leaned towards the elevator button, and the elevator restarted after a soft sound.

"Thank you, no."

Xue Zuining's refusal did not make Lu Huaining flinch, he took off his coat and put it on her, but she pushed it away without appreciation.

"His mother may be waiting for me in the hospital room, but if you don't think it will be awkward to meet, I don't care."

Lu Huaining didn't answer yet, at this time, the ladder door opened, and the nurse who had been waiting for the elevator for a long time hurriedly ran in, and she didn't know how to look at her face, so she stood between Lu Huaining and Xue Zuining, and forcibly separated the two.

The man frowned, but the woman exhaled softly.

When I returned to the ward, I pushed open the door, and saw Xi Juan sitting on the sofa, flipping through medical newspapers and magazines, and seeing her coming back, I hurriedly got up and beckoned her to sit down, "How do you feel?" I made an appointment with the doctor and asked her to give you a thorough examination later, but don't leave the root cause of the disease in the baby. ”

Xue Zuining reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking at Xi Juan's nervous attitude, he sighed softly in his heart, and said slowly, "Auntie, Xu Ze and I talked about it just now, and we ...... I decided to date. ”

Xi Juan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses, looked into her eyes, and said in surprise, "Really? ”

"Hmm!" Xue Zuining nodded, "We both feel that each other is very suitable, if we can, we hope to hold a wedding as soon as possible." ”

"Good! That's great! If it's a little later, if you have a big belly, it won't look good in a wedding dress......"

The conversation after that was no longer audible, and outside the ward, the black figure quietly turned around, as if it had never appeared.

In the ward, the woman stroked her abdomen and slowly lowered her eyes......
