When Tong Jiangxin woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar scene. It took her five seconds to realize that the familiar scene was Lu Chengxi's bedroom, not Tong's house.
She instinctively wanted to get up, but as soon as she exerted force on her waist, she felt a pain as if she had been run over.
Tong Jiangxin frowned and slowly recalled yesterday's events in her mind. She made an appointment with Liao Jianing, and then met McGaro in the middle of the mountain. Then they called Li Mingyang...
She vaguely remembered that she had drunk a lot of wine, and Tong Jiangxin felt regretful. Just as she was thinking about it, the door of the room was gently pushed open from the outside, and the servant of the Lu family came in.
"Miss Tong, are you awake?"
The servant asked aloud, holding a glass of warm milk in his hand.
Tong Jiang smiled happily and then asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"
The servant replied, "The young master went out early this morning."
Tong Jiangxin felt an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in her heart. She picked up the phone on the bedside table and dialed Lu Chengxi's cell phone.
There was a steady connecting sound from the phone, but it kept ringing for a while and Lu Chengxi didn't answer, so Tong Jiangxin had to hang up.
The servant came over with a tray, and she said loudly, "Miss Tong, when the young master left, he told you to drink the milk when you wake up."
Tong Jiangxin's head hurt, which was caused by a hangover. In addition, Lu Chengxi didn't answer the phone just now, which made her even more uneasy. She was not in the mood to drink, so she casually said, "Put it here."
The servant put the milk on the bedside table, then turned and left.
Tong Jiangxin thought about it, then picked up the phone and called Liao Jianing.
Liao Jianing answered quickly, and the first sentence was, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Tong Jiangxin also felt regretful, and she whispered, "Well, it's nothing."
Liao Jianing breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought of what happened last night. She showed a regretful expression on her face, and then said, "Jiang Xin... let me tell you something... I confessed on my own initiative and asked for leniency."
Tong Jiang said happily, "What's going on?"
Liao Jianing gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and replied, "You were picked up by Lu Chengxi last night, and Mike saw it..."
The look in Tong Jiangxin's eyes paused, and she remained silent for half a minute, and then she said a favor in a low voice.
Liao Jianing thought that Tong Jiangxin must feel uncomfortable, but...
"Also...I accidentally told Mike about your pregnancy..."
Even if it was a bolt from the blue, Liao Jianing had to say that she really hated herself for drinking too much last night and making a drunken gaffe.
Sure enough, Tong Jiangxin said almost helplessly this time, "How did you..."
Liao Jianing said hurriedly, "Mike said he knew everything. I thought you told him, so you just said it... Oh, it's all my fault!"
Liao Jianing complained to herself repeatedly, but Tong Jiangxin on the other end of the phone just felt chilled. If McGarlo knew that she was pregnant with Lu Chengxi's child, then...
The fear in her heart suddenly rose. Tong Jiangxin hurriedly hung up the phone and was about to get up. At this moment, the phone at her hand rang.
Tong Jiangxin looked at the caller ID, she quickly picked up the call, and then said, "Lu Chengxi..."
Lu Chengxi said, "Get up, have you drank some milk?"
Tong Jiangxin's heart was beating fast, she just said, "Where are you now?"
Lu Chengxi replied, "What happened at the company?"
Tong Jiangxin said, "I'll go find you..."
Lu Chengxi said, "What's wrong with you?"
Tong Jiangxin could not tell Lu Chengxi that she was afraid that McGaro would go to Lu Chengxi. She was afraid that the two of them would meet, and she was even more afraid that the conflict between them would deepen.
"I want to see you now".
Tong Jiangxin said to the phone next to her ear.
Lu Chengxi was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I have a meeting soon, so I may not have time."
Tong Jiangxin said, "Then I will wait for you in the coffee shop downstairs until you have time."
Lu Chengxi was silent again. After a while, he finally said, "Okay, then you wait at home and I'll come back."
Tong Jiangxin swallowed her saliva and sighed.
After hanging up the phone, she sat by the bed and realized that her right hand had been tightly holding the sheets under her just now. The sheets were wrinkled, which showed how much strength she had used.
After waiting at home for more than forty minutes, the door was pushed open again and Lu Chengxi came in. Tong Jiangxin subconsciously stood up from the bed. She was about to say something, but the expression on her face changed.
Looking at the band-aid on the corner of Lu Chengxi's lips, Tong Jiangxin walked over in two steps, and then asked with a worried look, "What's going on?" Lu Chengxi's eyes averted, and he said, "How are you? Are you feeling better?
?”
Tong Jiangxin just stared at Lu Chengxi's face. She wanted to reach out to touch her, but Lu Chengxi turned his face away and then stretched out his hand to block her hand.
Tong Jiangxin lowered her head and saw scratches on Lu Chengxi's hand bones. She grabbed Lu Chengxi's hand and said in a trembling voice, "What's going on? Did you fight with someone?"
Lu Chengxi looked at the milk on the bedside table. He took Tong Jiangxin's hand and walked to the bedside. Then he picked up the cup with one hand and said, "The doctor asked you to drink more milk to replenish your body. Why didn't you drink it?"
Tong Jiangxin saw Lu Chengxi deliberately changing the subject. She was a little angry and couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Lu Chengxi!"
Lu Chengxi's expression also paused. He was looking away. After a moment of silence, he said, "McGallo came to see me this morning..."
Tong Jiangxin's heart skipped a beat, as expected, she couldn't escape.
Lu Chengxi slowly met Tong Jiangxin's eyes. Seeing the indelible loss and fear in her eyes, he frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "You always care about what he thinks, right?"
Tong Jiangxin didn't speak, as if he was trapped in his own world.
There was deep pain in Lu Chengxi's eyes. He frowned, opened his thin lips, and said, "If you care so much about what he thinks, who does he really matter to you?"
In fact, what Lu Chengxi wanted to say was that if he cared so much about Magalo, who would he be? But he couldn't say this, or he was afraid of hearing the answer.
Tong Jiangxin was stunned for a while, and then she raised her eyes to look at Lu Chengxi. Their eyes met, and their deep eyes were full of unresolved entanglements.
After a long while, Tong Jiangxin slowly raised her hand, gently touched the corner of Lu Chengxi's lips, and then said, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Chengxi looked at Tong Jiangxin and said nothing.
Tong Jiangxin lowered her head again, took Lu Chengxi's hand, and looked at the several scratches on the protruding hand bones when he made a fist. Her eyelids trembled, and then she said, "I'll ask someone to bring the medicine box."
After saying that, she turned around to leave, but before she took two steps, Lu Chengxi grabbed her wrist from behind and held her in his arms from behind.
Tong Jiangxin stood there, looking somewhere without focus.
Lu Chengxi put his face against Tong Jiangxin's ear and whispered, "Don't go..."
Tong Jiangxin's hands were hanging down, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Lu Chengxi said again, "Jiang Xin, I don't want to see your back again... Every time you turn around and leave, I worry that I will never see you again in this life..."
Tong Jiangxin opened her eyes and tears fell unexpectedly.
Lu Chengxi said in a very soft voice, "I don't expect you to be the only one in your heart. I just hope... that you just stay by my side..."
Tong Jiangxin's heart suddenly twitched, and her vision was instantly blurred by tears. She turned around, buried her face in Lu Chengxi's chest, and stretched out her arms to hug Lu Chengxi's waist tightly.
After a short hesitation, Lu Chengxi hugged Tong Jiangxin tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Tong Jiangxin couldn't stop crying. She choked and said, "Fool! You are such a big fool!"
With a faint smile on his handsome face, Lu Chengxi replied, "Yes, I realized that I am really a fool, otherwise why would I fall in love with you..."
She fell hopelessly in love with the daughter of a man who forced her father to death. She fell in love so much that she became crazy and addicted. Now, she is almost drinking poison to quench her thirst, just hoping that she will not leave.
Tong Jiangxin cried loudly, and she said, "You are a fool! You are so stupid that you can't see how much I love you. I have done so much, I have been burdened with everyone's abuse, and I ignored the opposition of everyone around me and made a desperate move.
When I come to you, do you know that if you don’t want me anymore, I really have no way out..."
When it comes to the end of the road, Tong Jiangxin is even more passive than Lu Chengxi. Without her, he would be sad and sad at most; but without him, she would be abandoned by the whole world.
Two people who are equally insecure, two people who have also carried too many grudges, both tough-talking people, and two people who love each other deeply, they have reached this point almost fighting against the odds.
If they win, it will be a lifetime of happiness; if they lose... they dare not imagine it.
Lu Chengxi and Tong Jiangxin hugged each other tightly. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chengxi whispered, "Jiang Xin, let's go and get out of here."
Tong Jiangxin didn't want to think about anything anymore. At this moment, no, in this life, she just wanted to stay with this man.
Nodding, Tong Jiangxin said, "Okay."
Lu Chengxi hugged Tong Jiangxin, the corners of his lips curved into a nice curve, and his eyes also had a resurgent light.
Two days later, at the Hong Kong International Airport, Lu Chengxi and Tong Jiangxin appeared in the VIP waiting room.
She originally expected to wait until everything was completed before leaving, but this incident happened suddenly, which made Tong Jiangxin make up her mind. Since she had decided to be with Lu Chengxi, she should stop thinking too much. Remember Liao Jianing said, a
People's strength is limited, and if they carry too much, the final result will not be to bear everything, but to be dragged down.
Tong Jiangxin admitted that she had secretly given up too much, including her family, friends, and career. She left Lu Chengxi with all her might. She didn’t know what the future would bring. She only knew that at this moment, the man beside her was her favorite.
