Back Then, I Adored You

881 Love Is Not about Possessing but Giving Your Blessings 1

Cars were whizzing by, and the continuous blaring of horns reminded him to keep to the side of the road. He felt as if he was nailed to the road alive. His mind had completely blanked out, and he was completely frozen on the spot.

No one knows how much my heart burned when she looked at me in a daze after I spat out a slew of malicious words to her when my embarrassment turned into rage…

No one knows the tremendous impact it had on me to see her weeping so sorrowfully last night…

Lu Bancheng had even earnestly let go of her aborting their child. Ignoring the fact that he had a meeting to attend, he had come here to look for her expectantly. He had merely wanted to say to her that he had agreed to save her father only because he wanted to put her mind at ease. He only realized upon his arrival that there was already someone there for her.

Why have I been so worried and conflicted about her all night and morning? Because I am a fool, that’s why!

My world turned upside down when I saw how upset she was, and then I forgot that I am the very thing that she least desires to exist in her life.

To think that I even considered giving in! She doesn’t care whether or not I give in. My concern and feelings toward her are merely a burden and redundant to her…

A look of derision flashed across Lu Bancheng’s handsome, elegant face.

This is seriously the ultimatum!

Everything about this woman was destined to have nothing to do with me since the moment she aborted my child. I was being a fool with my unreciprocated feelings.

I do not need to bother about whether she is doing okay because I will never be the object of her consideration.

As the sharp, piercing sounds of horns blared once again, Lu Bancheng stopped pondering and, without turning his head back, he left with resolve.

……

Wu Hao had heard about Xu Wennuan’s father during a meal two days ago through a colleague of hers. Although it had been close to six months since he had broken up with her, they were once so close that, even though unrelated now, when he heard about his illness, he rushed to the hospital and visited Father Xu to help contact the best doctors.

Wu Hao made several trips to the hospital, and this was the first time he had run into Xu Wennuan in her father’s room. Before she arrived, he was prepared to leave but, after Mother Xu walked him out of the room, she called out to him hesitantly, “Xiaohao.”

Although he was not her son-in-law, Mother Xu was still used to addressing him intimately. Wu Hao paused for some time before he turned his head to look at her. “Auntie, feel free to let me know if there’s anything that you want to talk about.”

Mother Xu hesitated for a moment before she asked with embarrassment, “Xiaohao, do you have a friend named Lu Bancheng?”

Wu Hao nodded his head lightly.

“His bone marrow is compatible with Nuannuan’s father. Could you see if you could help to…” Before Mother Xu could finish her question, Xu Wennuan who had come to the hospital early in the morning to visit her father, shouted, “MOM!” at which Mother Xu immediately shut her mouth.

Xu Wennuan walked over and took one look at Wu Hao; then, without saying a word, she pulled her mother straight back into the room. When Xu Wennuan finally left the room, Wu Hao was still standing in the corridor. When he heard the door open, he turned around instantaneously. “Nuannuan.”

Xu Wennuan walked straight to the elevator as if she had not heard her name. Wu Hao followed after her.

Upon exiting the elevator, Xu Wennuan was about to walk over to the side of the road to wait for a taxi when Wu Hao stopped her. “It is currently the peak hour. It will be hard for you to hail a taxi. Where are you heading to? I’ll give you a lift.”

“It’s alright. Thank you.” Xu Wennuan bypassed Wu Hao and walked over to the pavement closer to the road.
