Chapter 1087: End of Lu and Lin
This is our home.
Lu Jinwen stretched out both arms, hugging her from behind. He kissed her cheek, and with a deep magnetic voice, he asked, “Do you like it? This place took two years to construct, every single detail was created according to your likes.”
Unbearably touched, Lin Xuanji’s eyes watered, she hadn’t expected such a huge surprise. It didn’t even occur to her in her dreams.
She loved it.
It was gorgeous.
It truly was gorgeous.
Turning around, she hugged his neck. “Mm, I love it so much.”
Lu Jinwen kissed her again. “Xuanji, let’s get married.”
He had been waiting for her for two years.
She had already turned 20.
Get married…
Lin Xuanji lowered her eyes. “I don’t want to get married yet.”
“Why? Tell me what’s bothering you,” he cajoled her into telling him the reason.
But Lin Xuanji bit down onto her lower lip, staying silent and not saying a word.
Lu Jinwen’s breathing got heavier. He pushed her against the wall, kissing her lips so passionately. His tongue made it through her teeth, exploring every corner of it so forcefully.
Lin Xuanji tugged on his shirt, she was almost breathless after being kissed by him. She could suddenly feel something on her stomach. She blushed, quickly pushing him away.
They had been together for two years, he would always get hard without fail, every time he kissed her.
Lu Jinwen buried his face in her neck, taking a sniff of her body scent and with a husky voice, he said, “Xuanji, I really want you to become my Mrs Lu.”
He sounded so sincere as he said that. Upon hearing that, Lin Xuanji nuzzled her face against his shirt.
Huo Yanmei’s voice was heard from downstairs. “Xuanji, we’re here!”
Huo Yanmei had brought a few of their girlfriends over.
“Mr Lu, I have to go downstairs.”
Lu Jinwen let go of Lin Xuanji. “Sure, go ahead.”
…
At night, on the lawn.
Lin Xuanji lit a sparkler, throwing it away from herself. It resulted in crackling and the girls started laughing together.
Lin Xuanji sat on the lawn and Huo Yanmei was beside her. “Xuanji, are you getting married to Mr Lu soon?”
“No…”
“Don’t deny it. I already saw the ring that you designed, the One and Only ring.”
Lin Xuanji blushed, she hadn’t expected Yanmei to have already seen the ring she designed.
“Xuanji, you can just get married to Mr Lu if you want to. Is there anything troubling you?”
She wasn’t really troubled, Lu Jinwen was a capable man who could settle all problems, but…
That portrait.
The woman in the portrait, the one who wore a navy blue cheongsam, the one who looked exactly like her.
Who was she?
Two years had passed, but that portrait was just like a prick in her heart. Both consciously and unconsciously, she was constantly reminded of it.
She really wanted to marry him.
But she didn’t dare to.
There were a few occasions when she just wanted to confront him about it, but once she was ready to say it, she just couldn’t let those words come out from her mouth. She was afraid, afraid that once she asked him about it, they wouldn’t have a future together anymore.
What was it that they said? Ignorance is bliss… Lin Xuanji lifted her head, looking at the sky full of dandelions. At least she felt blissful now without asking him about it.
She loved him so much. She couldn’t even take the slightest risk that she would ruin everything. Even if he really had another woman in his heart, she would rather just live like this, deluding herself.
Love would make one become so pathetic.
…
Late at night.
After an intense session of physical intimacy, Lin Xuanji fell asleep. She was exhausted, the man’s behavior was so unusual today. He behaved like a beast in heat, demanding and unyielding as he indulged in reckless debauchery.
Lu Jinwen hadn’t fallen asleep even after Lin Xuanji did. He slumped against the bed frame, his pajamas loosely tied with one leg bent. He placed his hand on his knee, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
He puffed on the cigarette before letting out a puff of smoke. Lowering his eyes to look at the girl beside him, he raked his fingers through her hair, exuding a sexiness after relieving himself of those desires.
He didn’t know for what reason, but his heart felt really empty tonight.
She wasn’t willing to marry him.
Why?
It really didn’t feel good, it made him feel really insecure.
Stubbing out the cigarette in the ashtray, he leaned his head against the bed frame and closed his eyes.
…
He dreamed about the past.
—-Xuanji.
—-Xuanji.
—-Xuanji.
He walked around barefoot looking for her. He left behind a bloody trail.
In the cold basement, he held her freezing cold body in his eyes. His eyes felt really warm, he first started shedding tears, but they slowly became streams of crimson blood.
Pain.
He felt pain all over his body.
Someone was shaking his body and a soft, sensual voice resounded in his ears. “Mr Lu! Mr Lu, wake up!”
Lu Jinwen jolted awake.
Lin Xuanji’s face appeared in front of him, looking at him worriedly. He froze for a moment when his vision was blurry.
He gradually lifted his head, feeling tears trickle down his cheeks.
He cried.
“Mr Lu, what’s wrong?”
Lu Jinwen stretched his arm out, pulling her into his embrace. He exerted so much force, wanting her to become one with him.
“Xuanji, don’t move. Just let me hug you for awhile.”
Lin Xuanji hadn’t ever seen him cry. So it turned out even a strong man like him would cry in his dreams.
She lifted her arms, hugging him too. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“Mm, I had a nightmare. Everything was good, you wore a navy blue cheongsam while hugging me, kissing me. You even sent me off. But when I came back the second day, you were already dead, you were gone.”
Navy blue cheongsam…
Lin Xuanji’s heart pounded.
“Xuanji, do you believe in reincarnation? We were actually together in our past lifetime, we had a beautiful first meeting but everything went downhill after that. Our love became such deep hatred, so full of hate it burned and caused so much destruction.
“My heart still aches every now and then this lifetime. I don’t even know how the time passed so quickly, but we hadn’t had the chance to watch Mo’er and Chenyi grow up together, we hadn’t spent those wonderful years together. Even when you were in the last moments of your life, I didn’t know about it. I was the last one to know of the news of your passing.
“We both lost ourselves. You said that if there was going to be a next lifetime, you wouldn’t ever want to have anything to do with me. However, I still wanted to give it another go. I didn’t want to give up on you, even if it meant I had to suffer a thousand bullets passing through my body. I came here just for you in this lifetime. Xuanji, I want to last forever with you.”
Lin Xuanji’s face was instantly covered in tears. She pushed him away with light movements, then went to find something. Opening her palm, the One and Only ring lay on it.
Her eyes crinkled into a smile even when she was still tearing. “Mr Lu, I’m going to take those words that you just said as a joke. I don’t believe in whatever reincarnation and past lifetimes. Put on this ring for me, I’m going to marry you!”
Lu Jinwen looked at her, the corners of his lips quirked up. He took the ring, putting it on her ring finger…
She was the love of his life, be it in this lifetime or the past lifetime. She was the only person that no one could ever take away from him, not even the heavens.
At last, he had finally achieved whatever he had never been able to achieve in his past lifetime.
…
End of Lu and Lin.
