Nanxi didnât understand â hadnât it been agreed that they would have dinner together in the evening?
Why was she suddenly brought to the Lu Familyâs place?
However, she didnât call to ask.
Before, Mo Yan had said, âBoss Lu has something to handle!â So, she didnât disturb him!
She knew Lu Yinchu was busy.
She couldnât help him, so the best she could do was not disturb him.
Besides, at the Lu Familyâs place, there were the old patriarch and Lu Qingtian.
She wouldnât be bored.
At around nine in the evening, Lu Yinchu drove back to pick up Nanxi so they could return home.
Xia Zhen frowned, âDonât go back.
There is room for both of you here.
Stay the night and head straight to the company from here in the morning.
There wonât be any delay!â
After thinking about it, Lu Yinchu nodded and agreed.
Nanxi had no objections, and there was no need for her to object.
The two of them returned to the bedroom.
Lu Yinchu seemed a bit tired, so he sat down on the couch.
He lit up a cigarette and took a drag.
âLu Yinchu!â
âYou go take a shower first!â
âI took a shower before dinner!â
âBefore dinner?â Lu Yinchu frowned, âThat early?â
Nanxi nodded and explained, âI was playing in the sand with Qingtian in the courtyard earlier.
I got my clothes dirty, so I just took a shower!â
âHow can you still be playing in the sand at your age?â
âIs there a rule that I canât play with sand because I am grown-up?â
Nanxi thought Lu Yinchu was overthinking it!
On second thought, Lu Yinchu was thirty-two years old.
The way he thought was definitely different from hers, and it was hard to be the same.
She couldnât help thinking of the âgeneration gapâ issue her uncle had once worried about!
She went up to him, leaned over and asked, âLu Yinchu, do you think there will be a generational gap between us?â
âGeneration gap?â This comment made a certain male godâs face darken.
A shadow passed in his eyes, and he pulled her into his arms, looking at her closely, âWhat did you just say?
We have a generation gap?â
Nanxi knew she had said something wrong and quickly shook her head, âNo, I didnât think that.
I was just asking you, really, just asking!â
The man kissed her lips lightly with his tobacco-scented lips.
The smell lingered around Nanxiâs nostrils, making her feel a bit dizzy.
âNanxi, between any two people, no matter the age, there can be some differences in values due to individual life experiences.
I canât make you mature too early, because the mature world is not perfect.
You just need to grow and mature at your own paceâ¦and I will stand by your side, observing and guiding you.
You just need to walk in the direction you believe is right, walk bravely, and itâs okay even if there are deviations, because I am by your side.
If you fall, Iâll pick you up.
If you cry, my shoulders are there for you to lean on, and if you collapse, I will be your rock for lifeâ¦Do you understand?â
Upon hearing his words, Nanxiâs eyes welled up with tears.
She reached out and hugged the manâs neck, pouting slightly, âLu Yinchu, youâre so good.
What should I do if I canât live without you now?â
âThen donât ever leave.
Letâs stay together for the rest of our lives!â He paused, then asked her, âNanxi, do you want to spend the rest of our lives together?â
âYes!â Nanxi reciprocated and leaned in to give him a kiss, âIâm so happy!â
âMe too!â He responded to her with a smile and a kiss.
âAnd, Lu Yinchu, Iâve never cared about our age difference.
Really!â
âI know!â Lu Yinchu sighed, hugging Nanxiâs body.
She smelled faintly of shower gel â a pleasant fragrance that made his heart flutter.
âNanxi, I know you donât care.
Actually, I donât either.
Because I am so much older than you, I understand many things better, and I can protect you better.
I can give you everything you need, everything perfect that I have worked for over thirty years, and I feel satisfied!
Besides, I almost lost you once because I cared too much.
I wonât allow myself to make the same mistake again!â
âOnce?
You mean, eight years ago?â
Nanxi was a bit stunned.
In reality, she didnât know much about what happened between her and Lu Yinchu eight years ago.
She had never asked, and he had never talked about it.
But she was curious.
This much was true.
âLu Yinchu, did you not dare to appear in front of me eight years ago because of our age difference?â
âNo!â Lu Yinchu shook his head.
âI once thought it was because of the age difference, and that you were too young.
But now I think maybe it was more than thatâ¦
I used to think that with a ten-year age difference â I was twenty-four and you were fourteen â I couldnât face you.
I was afraid it might scare you.
I didnât have the courage; I was afraid you wouldnât like meâ¦
âStupidly, I stayed in the background protecting you.
I wanted to wait until you had grown up and understood what love is before I loved you.
But I never expected that you would suddenly pull away from me, leaving no trace.
At that time, I regretted it so much and even hated myself.
I thought if I had been braver and faced you as a twenty-four-year-old, would the result been different?
Would you have sought my help when you felt helpless, sad and had no one to rely on?
Would we have wasted those six yearsâ¦â
âLu Yinchuâ¦â
âI kept thinking this, till recently, and I realized that my lack of courage might have been because I felt inferior in your presenceâ¦
Eight years ago was a very desperate moment in my life.
In those days and months unbeknown to me, the person I loved was growing up, beginning her own life, while I was busy studying and pursuing my career.
I felt I needed to live successful life to protect the things I wanted to protect.
But in the end, when I became successful, everything that I wanted to protect was goneâ¦â
âWhen I met such a beautiful girl, like a sunflower, I didnât dare to get close to her.
I was afraid that I was a cloud that would take away the brightness that surrounded you.
I was afraid that the Nanxi who was with me would not smile as purely and beautifully as I had imagined.
I feared that I wouldnât be able to keep you always smiling, always simple and carefree.
I feared thatâ¦â
âLu Yinchu, stop talkingâ¦â
Nanxi stopped Lu Yinchu, her heart aching a bit.
She sniffed and leaned her nose on his face:
âLu Yinchu, donât think like that.
Being with you nowâ¦Iâm really happy.
Iâm so glad that fate led me to you.
Iâm so glad youâve been waiting for me.
Iâm really happy!â
A warm palm touched her cheek, the man smiled, his lips slightly arching, but his eyes bore a deep sadness.
âI know.
I will make you even happier in the future.
But sometimes, I am still scared.
Iâm afraid youâll leave meâ¦â
âNonsense!
Why would I leave you?â Nanxi frowned, slightly upset.
âYeah, you love me so much.
How could you leave me!â Lu Yinchu chuckled, his hand stroking her cheek in a gentle caress.
âWhen did I say I love you?â Nanxi blushed at his words, and denied it.
âAlright, even if you donât say it, I know you love me!â
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Nanxi resisted slightly, but soon she became still.
He sighed deeply, speaking in a low voice, âNanxi, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you wonât leave me.
You have to stay by my side foreverâ¦foreverâ¦.â
Nanxi, do you know, I donât have the strength to survive losing you againâ¦
