"Wife, where are you going?" Seeing me walk towards the door, Lou Shaotang stood up and grabbed my hand.
I stopped and turned my head, pretending to be calm as I looked at him. "Lou Shaotang, leave me alone." Break his hand.
Lou Shaotang anxiously grabbed my hand again, "Wife." He didn't say anything to stop her, but his tone was full of pleading, and his strength increased.
Zheng Keer's face froze, and the light in her eyes dimmed, "Okay." Nodding her head, the corners of her mouth curled up into a gentle and understanding smile.
The driver quickly came over. Lou Shaotang instructed the driver to let Zheng Keer follow him. He held my hand the whole time, afraid I would walk away if I let go.
Actually, if I were to leave, how could he stop me? It's just that I don't know why, but it's like I want to stay in my subconscious.
Closing the office door, Lou Shaotang pulled me to the sofa and sat me down, "Wife, I know you're very sad and angry right now, but can you listen to my explanation properly?" His face was filled with pain, and his tone was pleading.
I withdrew my hand and looked away. My heart was still in pain, but my voice was hard and cold. "What is there to say? Didn't you already say everything that needs to be said earlier? "
"I don't love her." Just as I finished speaking, Lou Shaotang's firm words slipped into my ears.
My heart lurched and I turned to look at him in surprise.
His face was serious, and he was looking at me with a more determined expression than his voice, not lying or coaxing at all.
Did he really not love her?
I couldn't believe it. If so, why didn't he just say so?
Lou Shaotang easily read through my thoughts. He helplessly sighed and said, "You already understand the situation between Ke Er and me, and just now you asked me that in front of her. If I say that I don't love her, and the one who loves her is you, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for her?!"
His explanation was very reasonable. From Zheng Keer's eyes and expression, even I could tell that she still loved Lou Shaotang a lot. It was impossible for Lou Shaotang to not notice.
"But if you don't say it, aren't you giving her hope?" I already believed what he said, but I was dissatisfied that he didn't make it clear to Zheng Keer. His unsettled attitude could easily cause her to misunderstand, and think that Lou Shaotang still loved her.
I didn't hear much of what he said after that, and was only surprised by the first part of his sentence.
"You told her exactly?" I looked at Lou Shaotang doubtfully.
"What did she say?"
Seeing that my expression was no longer as cold as before and my tone a little softer, Lou Shaotang's expression suddenly became cheerful and he laughed: "She said that she understands, after all, so many years have passed, yet everything has changed, including the relationship between her and me. In the future, we will just be good friends. "
"Really?" I narrowed my eyes in disbelief. He had a nagging feeling that Zheng Keer wasn't really simple this time, he just wanted to get back on his good terms with Lou Shaotang.
Lou Shaotang nodded his head with certainty and said apologetically: "Actually, I said that I had to take care of her. In the beginning, she rejected me, and she didn't say it back for me to repay anything. Wife, can you understand what I'm doing? "
Of course I understand. His feeling of being unworthy and guilty towards Zheng Keer, and wanting to use everything he has to make up for it, isn't the same as his feeling towards Qiao Chenfei? It's just that I have reservations towards Zheng Keer.
"Only you?" I don't like what I said. Does this mean that Zheng Keer will treat Lou Shaotang as the center of her world in the future? Everything depended on him, on him?
If she was really like what Lou Shaotang said, and was able to put aside her feelings for him, I would definitely not take it to heart, but the problem is that I do not think so.
Hearing the meaning behind my words, Lou Shaotang immediately explained, "Don't misunderstand, what I mean is, right now, she only has me as her friend to help her." As if to give me reassurance, I put my hand to the corner of my lips to kiss, deeply fixed me, and said: "Wife, believe me, the person I love is you, only you."
Looking at his gentle and loving eyes, my heart immediately softened.
How could they not believe him?! Seeing him so nervous about me, I knew he wasn't lying.
I don't believe in Zheng Keer!
However, thinking back on it, Zheng Keer had indeed become crippled because of Lou Shaotang, if she had to do nothing to her and send her off with the money, let alone not being able to do so, even if Lou Shaotang himself couldn't do it, he would feel guilty.
Sigh ~ Forget it, she was really quite pitiful. As long as Lou Shaotang loves me, it's useless no matter how much she loves me. Let's just leave it at that. If she does something, I don't care if she's disabled or not. I'll kill her!
However, I was still a little angry when he said, "Since you no longer have any feelings for her, then why are you hiding this from me, afraid that I will find out?"
Lou Shaotang sighed, and explained: "Firstly, it's because my mind is truly in a mess, and I don't know how to tell you. Secondly, you're so jealous, so I'm afraid that you'll be displeased and cause trouble for me."
"Who's making trouble for you?" Hearing him say that I was jealous, I refuted him.
"Then why are you angry with me right now?" The corners of his mouth curled up in a faint smile.
"I'm angry at you." I choked on his question. "I'm angry at you for not being honest with me. It means that you don't trust me."
Lou Shaotang seemed to have no choice but to laugh, and raised his hand in surrender, "Alright, alright, alright, I was in the wrong, I was in the wrong. I'll tell you everything, okay? "
"Of course!" I didn't let him off the hook and purposely warned him, "If you dare to hide anything from me again, I won't take care of you!"
"I don't dare, I won't dare anymore!" Lou Shaotang's expression suddenly became serious again, he pulled me into his embrace and whispered into my ear, "Wifey, do you know, when you were leaving just now, I felt like the sky had fallen. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, and that was to make you stay, no matter the method. "
With a slight sigh, I said, "I'm hungry."
Lou Shaotang was stunned for a moment, then excitedly let go of his embrace and patted my shoulder, laughing: "Alright, let's go eat, what do you want to eat?" He took my bag from the sofa and said, "Oh yeah, you said yesterday that you wanted to eat French food. Come, let's go eat." Without waiting for a response, he took my hand and walked out of the office with his fingers clasped tight.
Seeing how excited he was, like a kid who'd won a prize, I couldn't help but smile.
When we arrived at the restaurant, I found out that Lou Shaotang had already booked a table after telling me that he wanted to eat dinner. He had already planned to bring me here today.
I had seen it in a magazine, and although it had just opened, it had a very high score. The owner and the head chef were both French and the dishes were very authentic. I wasn't attracted to it because of that, but because of one of its signature dishes.
After ordering, Lou Shaotang took out two tickets from his pocket. Seeing that it was the suspense drama that I had been wanting to watch, he asked him in astonishment: "How did you know that I want to watch this show?" I don't remember telling him.
"I heard it when you were chatting with An Qi the other day." Lou Shaotang raised his eyebrows proudly.
Hearing him say that, I remembered that he mentioned this matter to An Qi previously. He originally planned to go watch it together with him, but this movie was extremely popular and it was hard to get even one vote from him.
"Do you want to go with An Qi or with me?" Lou Shaotang asked for my opinion.
Looking at the time on the ticket, there were only two hours left. I felt that it was a little too late to look for An Qi, and furthermore, she might not have the time to look for her.
He placed the ticket to the side and just as he picked up the cup to drink, he saw Di Jin leisurely walking over to our table with both hands in his pockets.
