Indulgent Husband And Sweet Wife Chapter 33: You Like Him So Much?

Seeing that Lu was still not swayed, an idea occurred to Ji, " What about we making a bet? If Saner doesn't go with Du Yucheng, I lose and I will leave immediately, far away from your life. On the contrary, if Saner goes with Du, you lose. You have to let them go and divorce Saner. Sounds good? Lu Zhanke, dare you to bet with me?"

Dare you to bet?

There was nothing Lu did not dare to do in the world. So he agreed.

When Lu Zhanke and Ji Xingfan arrived at Du's home, and what they saw was Ai was about to fall down suddenly.

Ji hadn't figure out what was going on, and Lu rushed up to her. He caught her and carried her in arms.

"Saner..." Ji ran to him but she only saw Du leaving from the yard.

Lu carried Ai back home and called a military doctor.

After a preliminary check, the doctor said Ai was just weak temporarily. She experienced an unexpected shock, then she fainted. She just needed some rest.

Looking at Ai in slumber on bed, Ji sighed with a relief, "I lose. I will go as soon as she wakes up."

Lu sat at bed, looking at Ai anxiously, "After she wakes up, take care of her. Don't say anything you shouldn't say."

Ji raised her eyebrows. She neither agreed nor disagreed. She turned back and went out, closing the door by the way. Lu held Ai's hand outside the comforter, "You like him so much?"

As it should be, he didn't get an answer. He didn't know what Ai thought about.

Ai woke up at midnight. She felt herself hugged in arms tightly. She broke away from his arms after a shock and she turned on the bed lamp.

Lu looked after her for nearly the whole night. He did not wake up with the sound she made, but dragged her back to his arms subconsciously and wrapped her up with the comforter instead.

Looking at his frowning eyebrows in slumber, Ai had no idea what to say.

Qin Zhan wasn't willing to recognize her, but Lu accepted her again. She was trapped in a dilemma.

With a light sigh, Ai turned off the bed lamp and lay into Lu's arms. She didn't fall asleep until 5a.m. because she harbored a worry.

She felt vaguely the man beside her got up stealthily and wrapped her with the comforter tightly. He left a kiss on her forehead and left.

He seemed to be too gentle to make her figure out if it was the reality or dream.

The next day. It was cloudy, followed with a drizzle. Looking at the overcast sky, Ai couldn't help smiling with self-mockery. “Isn't it too late to rain now? It would have set off her embarra.s.sment if it rained yesterday."

Ji looked at Ai, and she was silent and dull. Guilt arose in Ji's heart. If she hadn't arranged Ai to meet Du, maybe she wouldn't have got hurt.

Thinking of this, Ji went up to her. She put the blanket on Ai and grasped her hand hard, “Saner. I am leaving tomorrow. I am so sorry for today's trouble I made. I should be to blame for my arrogance. I am afraid, I am too ashamed to see you again.”

Ai turned her head back and looked at her confusedly, “This is not your fault. It was me who insisted on asking him...Actually it is good for me now. I don't have to think about it all the time.”

She acted as if she didn't care but her tone implied her upset mood and grievance. When she lowered her head, Ji saw her tears in her eyes apparently.

Some wounds were destined to be left for oneself!

Ji felt extremely guilty, “Saner. It was my fault. I am too ashamed to explain anything to you. You don't have to ask me why. You just take it as a favor I owe you. Someday I will do anything to make up for you. Forget whatever I said before. Now I am speaking from heart. Lu is a good man who is worth your spending a lifetime to be with. Don't...don't miss it.”

Suddenly, Ai remembered Lu covering her with the comforter last night. Her cold heart melted with warmth.

But she just hesitated for a moment and then said, “No. I've made up my mind. I can't be like this. Qin Zhan must be angry with my marrying someone else so he doesn't want to recognize me. I have to go to explain to him. I didn't do it voluntarily. As for Lu, I owe him this life. If I have a chance, I will try to make up for him.”

“What are you doing for? Why don't you cherish happiness you can have, but chase a relations.h.i.+p that is already gone?” She tried her best to obtain her happiness. She did anything she couldn't. She grew to be adverse to herself now. 'But, Ai Changhuan, why did she give up easily?'

Ai gave her a sad smile, “What is happiness? I don't know it completely now. Maybe when it comes right in front of me, I will understand.”

They didn't continue their talk on this topic but each thought about their own troubles.

Ji started her phone during this time and nearly a dozen of messages flooded in. They were all from Bai Jin. The man who disliked typing texted her so many times. It seemed he was really worried.

The bittersweet feeling made Ai speechless for a long time.

She looked through those text messages.

”Where are you? I am in B Town now. Get your phone on and answer my call.”

”Why don't you start your phone? d.a.m.n. Where are you?”

“I am in XX hostel. Call me if you see this. I am waiting for you here.”

“I searched for you on the street but failed. Fan. Where are you?”

“Get the call. Reply. Anyway, let me know you are alright.”

Seeing those messages, Ai's heart trembled. She didn't expect Bai Jin followed her.

Was he crazy? He even came here regardless of his business. If Zhou Nianxin knew this, she would have killed her.

Although she grumbled at what Bai did, Ji had to confess that she was wild with joy in extravagant ecstasy. It was her first time to be wilful. But she gained something surprising.

Even if Zhou wanted to kill her, she would have died without regret.

She laughed and cried for a while. Ji even doubted if she really was insane.

"Sorry, Saner. I have to go. I am sorry that I can't stay with you." Ji hugged Ai, apologizing.

"Ah...You are leaving?" Ai couldn't express her regret, "I thought that you could stay longer. But you are leaving now?"

Hearing her despondent tone, Ji felt even guiltier, "I am so sorry. Sorry. Saner. I left you here when you are suffering. You can blame on me."

"Why do I blame it on you. You can come by next time." Ai held her hand, "When Lu comes back, I will let him ask somebody to give you a drive. But, I am alone now. It sounds boring though."

Hearing her saying like this, Ji felt her tears in her eyes. There came an impulsion in her heart. She said immediately, "Saner. Go with me. Du is not a good guy. Go with me."

"Ah?" Ai was hesitant.

Ji felt it was a good idea after consideration, "Look. You came here for Qin Zhan. You met him already but that man just abandoned you. You don't have to wait for him now. So go back to A Town with me. I can introduce all the handsome boys I know to you. You can choose."

Ji acted as if she wanted to marry off her own daughter and Ai smiled reluctantly, "Fan. Don't make fun of me. I don't want to go back now."

"Ah..." Ji was disappointed again.

Even if Lu came back, she could only walk unwillingly toward the car with her backpack. But she couldn't say any word to persuade Ai.

"Saner, take care. Call me if there is any problem. Did you get it?" Ji clasped Ai's hand when sitting in car.

Ai could only nod her head hard, “I see. Don't worry.”

“Saner...”

“Go. It will get dark soon.”

“I am leaving now...Saner. Be sure to call me..."

It was hard to say farewell though, and she had to go. Ji left in car. Ai kept waving her hands. Her eyes couldn't help welling up with tears.

Lu tilted his head looking at Ai. Ai just sighed and walked into the room, without giving a look at Lu.

Lu raised his eyebrows. He thought Ai must be concerned about what happened yesterday. She recovered her indifferent att.i.tude to him again.

What women thought of was changeable indeed.

Ji left. There were only Ai and Lu. Compared with what happened before, it seemed even more embarra.s.sing. They didn't talk much when having food.

Ai kept silent but she thought about what Ji said before she left. She said it was Lu who carried her back from Du's home. It meant Lu had already known the fact. But why, he acted as if nothing had happened and treated her as he used to.

She admitted that Lu was a good man. But unfortunately, their encountering was too late. They had missed the opportunity to be together.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Ai slept in the guest room at night. Obviously, she was refusing.

Lu didn't say anything but left sufficient s.p.a.ce for Ai. He went out early and came back late in order to decrease the chance of meeting each other. He wanted to wait for Ai until she made her choice.

But what happened after that proved that he made an unwise decision.
