Mu Binglan hung up the phone and told Cao Jinxiu with regret.
"Jinxiu, my husband has something to do at noon and can't come."
In order to cover up her embarrassment, Cao Jinxiu immediately waved her hands and pretended not to care.
"It's okay, it will be the same if we meet again if we have the opportunity in the future."
"Well, it's getting late, let's go have dinner."
Mu Binglan looked at her watch and suggested, and then the two of them left Jianghai Building together.
On Luo Chen's side, he arrived early at the hotel he had agreed with Li Lu.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, he saw Li Lu running towards him in the distance.
Arriving in front of Luo Chen, Li Lu bent down and gasped for air. After a while, she stood up.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. Didn't you wait long?"
Luo Chen shook his head and took Li Lu into the restaurant. After the two ordered their dishes, Luo Chen couldn't wait to ask Li Lu.
"Li Lu, what do you want to say to me?"
Li Lu took a sip of water and hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly.
"Luo Chen, can I ask you a question first?"
Luo Chen nodded and signaled Li Lu to say.
"Do you still love Bai Ya?"
Unexpectedly, Li Lu would ask such a question, and Luo Chen didn't know how to answer it.
He and Bai Ya have not seen each other for nearly ten years since they separated in high school. They did love each other once.
But now, Luo Chen is not sure whether the unexplainable feelings he feels for Bai Ya in his heart are still the love he once had.
And whether Bai Ya still retains the same feelings for herself now, or has already found a destination.
Luo Chen didn't know all of this, and all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined. Facing Li Lu's question, Luo Chen couldn't answer with love or no love.
"Li Lu, I can't answer this question for you. But I only know that I still have Bai Ya in my heart. I can't forget her. Can you tell me about her quickly? Is she doing well?"
As he said that, Luo Chen's mood suddenly became intense.
"Has she found her home? Does she still remember me?"
Li Lu said somewhat reluctantly.
"Remember, Bai Ya has always loved you and she has been waiting for you. She just didn't expect you to come so late."
"Yeah."
Luo Chen leaned on the chair. Even though he heard from Li Lu that Bai Ya still loved him, the feelings in his heart were still ignited. The past lingered in front of his eyes like smoke, making Luo Chen wish he could rush to Bai Ya's side immediately.
"So how is she doing now?"
Li Lu looked at Luo Chen expectantly.
"Luo Chen, if I said that Bai Ya has been waiting for you to come and marry her, would you marry her?"
After listening to Li Lu's words, Luo Chen was heartbroken and complained about why God always forced him to make such painful choices. If it had been earlier, half a year ago, Luo Chen would have heard this sentence without hesitation.
Say yes.
But now, Luo Chen and Mu Binglan are husband and wife, and he can no longer give Bai Ya a home.
After a long time, Luo Chen apologized and told the truth.
"Sorry Li Lu, actually Mu Binglan and I are already married."
Li Lu was not very surprised, because she had noticed that Luo Chen and Mu Binglan had an unusual relationship as early as the class reunion.
However, when I heard Luo Chen say such words at this moment, I just felt infinite sadness in my heart, because maybe no one could give Bai Ya happiness anymore.
But even so, Li Lu still had to fight for it. Even if Luo Chen could no longer give Bai Ya happiness, she still asked Luo Chen to help Bai Ya, at least not to let Bai Ya ruin the rest of her life with her own hands.
However, before Li Lu could speak, Luo Chen asked her urgently.
"Li Lu, how is Bai Ya doing now? How is she doing?"
Seeing Luo Chen caring about Bai Ya, Li Lu felt a burst of sadness in her heart. Luo Chen and Bai Ya, who once envied others, ended up like this because of fate.
Li Lu was struggling with whether or not she should tell Luo Chen what she really wanted to do. Bai Ya warned her a lot that she must not tell Luo Chen about her, otherwise she would break up with Li Lu.
In fact, Li Lu originally planned to secretly tell Luo Chen about Bai Ya, hoping that Luo Chen could help.
As Bai Ya's best sister, Li Lu really couldn't bear to see Bai Ya bear the consequences of her mother's serious illness alone, even at the expense of her own happiness, so she made an appointment with Luo Chen today.
However, when she heard Luo Chen say that he and Mu Binglan were married, Li Lu retreated.
She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell Luo Chen about Bai Ya under such circumstances. Even though Luo Chen said that he still had a place for Bai Ya in his heart, the reality was that he had his own family, and the two
Li Lu didn't know which one was more important and which was less important in Luo Chen's heart.
When Li Lu was struggling, Bai Ya called.
"Lulu, where are you?"
Bai Ya's voice was very anxious.
After hearing this, Li Lu asked her nervously what was going on.
"My mother doesn't look well. Can you come over and help me?"
"Okay, just wait, I'll be there right away!"
Hearing that there was something wrong with Bai Ya's mother, Li Lu didn't dare to talk to Luo Chen anymore and was going to go to Bai Ya's house immediately. She picked up the bag next to her, got up and told Luo Chen that she was in a hurry and had to leave now.
Luo Chen didn't know that it was Bai Ya who was talking to Li Lu. He thought that Li Lu just happened to encounter something urgent, so he didn't force him to stay.
"You came to me today, what exactly do you want to tell me?"
Li Lu thought to herself that I wanted to tell you about Bai Ya, but it was hard to tell you now, so she decided to go and see how Bai Ya was doing.
If that didn't work, Li Lu also decided to let Luo Chen save Bai Ya, regardless of whether he was married or not.
"It's hard to say now. I will contact you later."
After saying that, Li Lu ran out of the hotel, took a taxi and went to Bai Ya's home.
Luo Chen sat in his seat, a little depressed. Originally, Li Lu came to him to talk about something, but in the end, Li Lu ran away without saying anything.
However, some of what Li Lu mentioned just now caught Luo Chen's attention. For example, she said that Bai Ya had been waiting for Luo Chen to come back.
Although Luo Chen had Bai Ya's mobile phone number, Luo Chen had seen Bai Ya holding a several-year-old child in the hospital before. He thought Bai Ya was a woman, so he didn't bother her rashly. For this reason, Luo Chen was still lost.
long time.
However, from Li Lu's words just now, Luo Chen noticed that Bai Ya seemed to have not found her destination yet.
Li Lu made an appointment with her today because she wanted to talk about Bai Ya. Does that mean that Bai Ya is not doing well?
After Luo Chen had this idea, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and found Bai Ya's phone number that he had saved.
Last time, Luo Chen didn't have the courage to make the call.
But now, he decided to call. Luo Chen pressed the dial button and put the phone to his ear. No matter what, Luo Chen wanted to know how Bai Ya was doing now.
If life is going well, then Luo Chen will naturally part ways with her. But if Bai Ya is not living well, Luo Chen will rush to her side no matter where Bai Ya is and give her the greatest help.
The phone was connected, and a voice that sounded strange to Luo Chen but was once very familiar came through.
"Hello, who are you?"
After nearly ten years of separation, Luo Chen heard Bai Ya's voice again. He had mixed feelings and his voice trembled unexpectedly.
