70: Chapter 69: How Could Everything Go According to One’s Wishes_1 70: Chapter 69: How Could Everything Go According to One’s Wishes_1 Lu Yinchu nodded, “It’s a good idea!”

“If that’s the case, why can’t I stay in the country…”

After a pause, Li Weihuan continued, “Uncle, I actually want to work at your company.

I don’t mind starting from the very bottom.

As long as I can stay in this country, I’m willing to do anything!”

“Did your mother agree?” Lu Yinchu looked at Li Weihuan and asked.

Li Weihuan pursed his lips, his eyes slightly dim.

Obviously, she wouldn’t agree.

Lu Yinchu said, “If your mother doesn’t agree, both your grandfather and I will be put in a difficult spot.”

Upon hearing this, Li Weihuan became anxious and hurriedly said, “Uncle, I won’t go abroad again.

I’ve made up my mind, I want to stay in this country…”

“Is there a specific reason?”

Li Weihuan clenched the joints of his fingers resting on his knees but didn’t answer.

“Weihuan, you’re already twenty-five, not at an age to act recklessly.

Even if your mother’s actions were somewhat excessive, she is still your mother.

She won’t harm you intentionally.

You’ve caused so much trouble since you returned, how can your mother not worry?”

“But Uncle…”

Lu Yinchu waved his hand to stop him from speaking, “Weihuan, what you need to do now is not to try and figure out how to stay here, but to think about where you want your life to go, what you want to achieve in the future…

Weihuan, it’s time to grow up.

You need to stop burdening those who care for you, understand?”

Li Weihuan left, motivated by Lu Yinchu’s final words.

Indeed, he had been causing unending worry for others for many years now.

Since returning to his homeland and reuniting with Nanxi, his friends, and his family, his mood hadn’t been as elated as he thought it would be.

Nanxi said, “Weihuan, I don’t know how you interact with your family at home.

Perhaps they spoiled you when you were young, creating the character you have today.

But if one day you have a fall out with your family, I hope it won’t be because of me…

However much your parents love you, so they cannot bring themselves to hate me, to take their frustrations out on me, and nor do I hold any ill feelings towards them.

The more they hate me, the more they love you…

Weihuan, I hope you can go back to the United States and continue your studies.

Our brief reunion these past few days has brought some sweet moments.

Still, it also seems to have triggered many incidents.

For example, you were injured, and so was Susu; and your mother was upset…”

Nanxi paused, her head slightly lowered, looking exactly like a docile, vulnerable girl.

She said, “Weihuan, I hope you grow into a man who can give me a sense of security.

Love alone is not enough to sustain life.

It requires many things.

I didn’t understand this before, but facing graduation now, I’ve started to ponder many things, including the lives of the two of us…”

In the end, she said, “Weihuan, it’s time for both of us to grow up…”

Although Nanxi’s words were spoken softly, they pierced Li Weihuan’s heart.

He gazed at her profile, tears welled in his eyes.

Nanxi did not look at him, but her eyelashes were moistened with tears.

He held onto Nanxi’s hand tightly, and she let him.

After what seemed like a long time, Li Weihuan said, “Nanxi, don’t cry.

I promise you, whatever you say, I will promise you.”

On the day Li Weihuan left, Nanxi came to see him off, along with Li Mufang.

Qi Qun was not there, because Li Mufang had stopped her.

Li Mufang said, “Weihuan, just bear with it for four more months, and it will be over.

I will talk to mum on your behalf.

Also…”

After a pause, she said, “About the matchmaking thing, I owe you an apology.”

Li Weihuan curved the corner of his lips into a sarcastic smile, which made Li Mufang look displeased.

She handed over his luggage and said to Nanxi, “You say your goodbyes.

I’m leaving.”

After Li Mufang left, Nanxi looked somewhat embarrassed and frowned at Li Weihuan, “You shouldn’t have treated your elder sister like that.

She actually didn’t do anything wrong.”

Li Weihuan said, “I had no intention of going home this time I came back.

I just wanted to see you and celebrate Xiaobai’s birthday.

But my elder sister found out, and had me brought back home.

She might have meant well, but it’s the same kind of ‘goodwill’ I get from my mother, and I don’t appreciate it.”

Nanxi didn’t know what to say in response, she lowered her head, her face pale.

Seeing her like this, Li Weihuan knew he had said the wrong things again.

He reached out, held Nanxi in his arms, and said, “I’m sorry, Nanxi, I promise I’ll change.”

Nanxi stuck her head out from his embrace, looking up at him, and said, “Then call your elder sister now and apologize to her.”

Li Weihuan frowned, clearly reluctant to do so.

Nanxi pushed him, but he held her back, “Alright, I know.

I’ll go and make the call right now.

Can I do it in front of you?”

True to his word, Li Weihuan called Li Mufang right in front of Nanxi.

Li Mufang had just stepped out of the waiting hall when she saw Li Weihuan’s number on her phone.

She raised her eyebrows slightly before answering, “What is it?”

On the other end, Li Weihuan was somewhat embarrassed, but under Nanxi’s pressure, he forced himself to speak, “Er…

Sister, my attitude just now was really poor.

Don’t be mad, I owe you an apology.

I’m sorry!”

On the other side, Li Mufang was obviously incredulous and silent for a while.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Li Weihuan on the other end lower his voice, saying, “Look, I called.”

Li Mufang was taken aback and couldn’t help smiling.

This was the first time her little brother had been so obedient in his 25 years of living.

That girl, Gu Nanxi, really was quite special!

After ending the call, she looked up at the clear blue sky of H City and sighed: But can feelings in this world ever truly be as one wishes?

As his departure time got closer, Li Weihuan’s mood became more complicated.

His reluctance to leave was genuine.

He wished he could pack Nanxi into his suitcase and take her with him.

He held Nanxi in his arms and kissed her lips in the crowded terminal, as if no one else was there.

His kisses were filled with longing.

Nanxi blushed, burying her face in his chest and pinching him – she was utterly embarrassed!

Li Weihuan said, “Nanxi, from now on, your words will be my command.

I will do whatever you ask me.

I promise that when I return, I will be a mature man who can protect you.

I won’t be impulsive or reckless, and I won’t get into fights again…

Nanxi, you can’t possibly know how much I like you.”

Nanxi bit her lips.

Being a young girl, hearing these words made her feel shy, and touched, and knowing the impending farewell also made her feel sad.

She looped her arms around Li Weihuan’s neck and leaned up to give him a kiss on his cheek, “You promised.

Don’t lie to me.”

Li Weihuan smiled, “Of course!”

Li Weihuan left.

Nanxi watched his figure until he was out of sight, feeling a bit lost.

At that moment, she suddenly understood what Li Weihuan meant when he said before he left two years ago: Looking at the streets of H City receding, I would feel that it isn’t the scenery that’s moving away, but you!

She started to feel sorry for Li Weihuan, and she thought to herself, Gu Nanxi, you must be a good girl to Li Weihuan.

He’s so good to you, you must not hurt him.

As Li Weihuan’s figure disappeared, Nanxi stood there for a long time until she heard the plane taking off…

She wiped a tear from her eyes, preparing to leave.

As she turned around, she suddenly bumped into a strong chest.

Looking up, it was Lu Yinchu!
