Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the remote and quiet corner, the tone of his voice was as low and lazy as ever.
Ning Li’s eyelids were slightly lowered, and she could clearly hear the sound of her own heart beating.
Jiang Ran stared blankly at the man in front of her, before suddenly laughing at herself.
She had known Lu Huaiyu for so many years.
Since he had been young till now, he had always been noble and proud.
There were so many people who were interested in him.
There had been all kinds of confessions and pursuits, warm or reserved likes and love.
However, he had always been aloof and reserved. Just like ice and snow, he was cold and unapproachable.
The thought had crossed her mind numerous times that this man was born to be admired by others.
All he had to do was just stand there and everything would naturally be drawn to him.
The only thing he had to do was to think about those feelings and adoration, and whether he wanted them or not.
Everything was up to him, whatever he wished.
She knew that only by making herself different could she attract his gaze for even a moment.
So she worked hard all the way and followed him.
She had thought that she was different, that she would have a chance.
Until she found out that he had a girlfriend.
She had never seen him look at anyone else the way he looked at Ning Li.
He stood at the top of the mountain, untouchable.
However, one day, he had come down from the mountain to meet his little girl.
He felt jealousy over her and he was happy for her.
He protected her well and was considerate.
He said– do you know how long I waited for her to give me this chance?
tt turned out that he would also toss and turn over someone, worrying about gains and losses.
He had been willing to submit to her.
All her strength seemed to have been sucked out in an instant. The endless emotions in her chest collided, making her extremely uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, she could not say anything, only her tears kept pouring out.
She covered her face.
Suddenly, she wondered what the love she had held for so many years had been for?
Lu Huaiyu turned away and left. As he walked, he looked down at his watch and frowned.
There was not much time left.
Suddenly, he sensed something, stopped, and looked up.
ing Li was standing quietly in the corner.
His thin lips twitched.
“Why are you out here? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the restaurant?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ran stiffened and turned around.
Lu Huaiyu had walked up to Ning Li, blocking most of her figure.

Jiang Ran could not see the expression on Ning Li’s face. She only saw her raise her arm and whisper to Lu Huaiyu, “There’s a stain on the sleeve of my coat. I wanted to come over and clean it.”
Lu Huaiyu seemed to be smiling.
“Why go through so much trouble? Just take it off and wear mine.”
As he spoke, he took his suit jacket off. After Ning Li had taken off her jacket and draped his over herself, he had smoothly taken her soiled jacket.
“Let’s go.”
He leaned closer and coaxed her with a low laugh.
“I thought you missed me so much that you came out to look for me.”
His suit was especially wide on her body, making her look even more slender and delicate.
She stretched out her hand.
Almost immediately, Lu Huaiyu held her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
“Oh right, I was going to buy coconut milk crisp candy for you, but I’m afraid it’s too late now.”
Ning Li shook her head.
“It’s fine.”
Lu Huaiyu said, “Then shall we come back to buy it tomorrow?”
Ning Li tilted her head to look at him, the corners of her lips curving slightly.
“Alright.”
Jiang Ran bit her lips tightly and turned to leave.
Cheng Xiyue waited for a while before he spotted the two of them returning together.
Lu Huaiyu’s jacket was draped over Ning Li’s shoulders.
He was silent for a while.
“Was there nothing else on earth I could do other than have a meal with you guys?”
Not only did he have a meal, and he had to be witness to all this public display of affection. It was really too much.
Lu Huaiyu nodded in agreement.
“It looks like you’re still sober.”
Cheng Xiyue, “!!!”
He gritted his teeth.
“I must really owe you guys from my past life!”
Beneath the night sky, a black car stopped outside the main entrance of the Rongyue Mansion’s residential area.
The two of them got out of the car.
Then, Young Master Cheng drove away while continuing to curse.
Ning Li followed Lu Huaiyu upstairs.
As soon as they entered the door, Lu Huaiyu received a call. It seemed that he had some company matters to deal with.
After a hot pot meal, Ning Li found that the pungent smell clung to her. Noticing that Lu Huaiyu was busy, she went straight to the guest bedroom.
After taking a shower and changing into a cotton nightgown, Ning Li dried her hair bit by bit.
When everything was done, she walked to the bed and picked up her phone.
Yan Qiu had sent a message asking for help in summarizing the content of the seminar in the past two days.
There was a lot of content, but Shen Zhijin had requested that it be sorted out before the group meeting on Wednesday. If left to Yan Qiu alone, it would indeed take a lot of effort.
Ning Li replied with an “Okay.” The two of them agreed to assign a day to each person which they would then sort the contents out separately, before revising it together.
She went to the desk and turned on the computer.
After a while, her phone vibrated again.
She glanced at it casually.
[ Jiang Ran: Ning Li, I admit that I lost. However, I lost to Lu Huaiyu, not to you. For him, I worked hard to get a guaranteed spot at Xijing University and tried my best to get into the headquarter of Fino Laboratory.
From the Capital to Bai City, from high school to now. You don’t know how far and how long the journey has been. Ning Li, you were just a little luckier than me, that’s all. You’re nothing special. ]
Ning Li read it for a while before casually typing a line in reply.
[ Since liking him is so difficult, why continue to persist? ]
After sending it, she put her phone aside and looked at the computer again.
There was no reply from Jiang Ran.
After sorting out the contents of the report, Ning Li turned off the computer.
She sat quietly on the chair with a calm expression on her face as her eyelids drooped slightly.
Countless images flashed through her mind.
In the end, only one sentence echoed in her ears.
‘Do you know how long I waited for her to give me this opportunity?’
She stood up, pushed the door open, and left the room.
The living room was silent.
She looked in that direction but did not see anyone.
It looked like he should be in the master bedroom.
Thinking of this, Ning Li came to the door of the master bedroom.
The door was not locked, but she still knocked on it.
Knock knock.
A moment later, footsteps were heard.
The door was opened from the inside. Lu Huaiyu seemed to have just taken a shower. He was wearing pajamas and his hair was still wet.
As if surprised by Ning Li’s appearance, his gaze lingered on her body for a moment.
Under the loose cotton nightgown, her slender and soft waist could not be seen. It merely spread out in a graceful and flirtatious curve with her movements.
Her straight and fair legs were hidden beneath the hem of the nightgown, as delicate as cream.
Lu Huaiyu calmly averted his gaze and slightly raised his eyebrows.
“What’s wrong?”
it was so late, she should be in bed.
ing Li tilted her small face and quietly look at him with her pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes.
“Second Brother, I want to eat coconut milk crisp candy.”
Lu Huaiyu smiled.
“Didn’t we say that we would buy it tomorrow?”
ing Li shook her head.
“I want to eat it now.”
Lu Huaiyu thought for a moment.
“Then I’ll go now–”
The rest of his words suddenly disappeared.
Ning Li took a step forward, put one hand on his shoulder, and tiptoed to kiss his thin cool lips..
