are similar animal cries of pain!She thought, so a rough man can be affectionate too. The girl named Wen Man must be very happy, being loved by such a man as President Gu...The manager heard the noise...Lu Qian gazed at her.

He looked at her tears. He'd been entangled with her for all these years, and she was so much younger than him.

He knew her thoughts better than she did herself.

She loves him, but she hates him.

In such love and hate, she was tormented.

Lu Qian gently stroked her cheek, his voice as soft and tender as a lover's whisper: "If you can let me go, then let me go, Mingzhu...don't cry."

He doesn't force her!

Lu Qian's hands fell, and he closed his eyes uncomfortably.

He wasn't pretending; he was truly sick. What he did just now, that plundering, was all just a show.

Even if she were willing, he wouldn't have the energy.

She went to the kitchen to boil some water for herself, and surprisingly, there was already some in the kettle.

And the fridge is also full, still her favorite retail.

She didn't dare look at him any longer and silently poured him a glass of plain water. "Drink some water first, Liu's secretary will bring the doctor over in a bit."

Lu Qian took the water cup, but his fingers clasped hers.

"He came, didn't you just leave"

She placed the cup in his hand, and in that brief moment when their fingers almost touched, his long fingers twitched as if he wanted to hold on, but ultimately let go.

Lu Qian drank half a cup of water.

Then she closed her eyes slightly, as if somewhat tired.

It's all done, but to keep healthy, I basically can't smoke or drink anymore.

Don't catch a cold or fever.

She looked at the damp half of his coat and called his name softly, "Lu Qian, take your coat off."

Upon hearing this, he gently raised one eyelid.

Míngzhū took off her coat for him.

She wanted to rummage through his coat pocket for his pill bottle, but instead found a few candies, her favorite brand.

She lowered her eyes and stared silently for a long time.

Lu Qian was dazed.

He gently squeezed her hand, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Mingzhu, can we ever go back to the past Like before, you call me Uncle Lu, and I treat you like a child."

Even now, she is a mature woman.

He still treats her like a child.

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he didn't have the energy to listen to her answer. His mind wasn't clear, but he stubbornly held onto her hand, as if letting go would cause this hard-earned warmth to vanish instantly.

The lights were a warm yellow.

Just as warm as before, this crystal lamp was still chosen by her own hands.

Italian, worth 2 million.

She liked it because it was sparkly and glamorous, and she thought it would look nice in her home.

Things are different now.

But she was unable to answer his words.

……

In a short while, Secretary Liu brought the doctor over.

Meeting each other always carries a certain awkwardness, it was Ms. Liu who spoke first: "Thanks to you! He needs to take good care of his body, but he just doesn't know how to cherish it."

Mingzhu gave a strained smile.

The doctor was obviously Lu Qian's personal physician.

He took his temperature and after checking him over, said: "It's not serious, two injections should bring down the fever, just need to be more careful afterwards."

Ms. Liu helped the person back to the bedroom.

The doctor gave him a shot.

Lu Qian was lying down, his pale Adam's apple moved slightly, muttering a name in his sleep.

The doctor smiled and said goodbye.

After Liu the secretary sent off the guests, she returned to see Mingzhu standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom. Outside, the night was deep and the rain had gradually subsided.

The back of Mingzhu, carrying loneliness.

She was innocent by nature, but in her relationship with Lu Qian, she was forced to grow up.

Secretary Liu walked over gently.

He hesitated for a moment, but then spoke: "Mingzhu, I'm not speaking up for him. I just want to tell you, if it weren't for you and Shuoshuo, and Xiao Lu You...Mr. Lu wouldn't be alive."

"In Switzerland, several times it was truly a close call."

I think many people would rather choose death than the pain of treatment.

……

Mingzhu tilted her head slightly.

After a long pause, she softly said, "I know all of this!"

She lowered her head, controlling her emotions as she whispered: "Because he felt sorry for me, even when he was sick, he didn't want to burden me. He chose to face it alone and had made the worst-case scenario plans. But Ms. Liu, he thought so much about it, did he ever consider what if he really doesn't come back, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life Regret that I fought with him at the time, regretted that I left him then, I would blame myself..."

Secretary Liu couldn't deny it.

Mingzhu smiled faintly: "That day he said he wanted to accompany me for a prenatal checkup. I was very happy because he didn't participate when Shuo Shuo was born. When I went to find him, he only left a letter for me! He told me not to wait for him... From that day on, I really didn't want to wait for him. I'm glad he's alive, but some things can't be undone!"

……

Ms. Liu knew that.

He didn't say much, just silently accompanied her.

Turning, she gave a soft smile. "Thank you for taking care of him. Thank you for letting Shuoshuo and Lü Yōu still have a father."

Upon leaving.

She also felt cruel.

But she truly had no way to act out a reunion with him. Her heart, shattered countless times before, was already broken into pieces, beyond repair.

just... treat each other like family!

Ms. Liu escorted her downstairs.

When he opened the car door for her, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally saying, "My aunt and I adopted that child!"

Mingzhu sat in the car, stunned for a moment.

Secretary Liu gently patted her shoulder: "Be careful driving back, don't get distracted."

She slowly rolled up the car window, gently pressed the accelerator, and the red sports car drove away.

The rain has stopped.

The gray road was flooded with water, reflecting the city's neon lights in a kaleidoscope of colors. Yet, in the dead of night, it seemed eerie and surreal.

She opened the music.

A soothing love song was sung softly, but Mingzhu listened with tears streaming down her face.

Back to the Huo residence.

Her family was still waiting for her to have dinner, the children were hungry, Wen Man baked some cookies for the children to eat.

Xiao Shuo was still sitting by the door.

Xiaolu held a small cookie in her hand, grinding it with her two small white teeth.

Mingzhu carried a box of milk into the house.

Ho Shao-ting stepped forward, took the box from his younger sister's hand, and said casually, "It's really strange. After you went out with Lu Qian, I unexpectedly found 3 cans of milk powder in the cupboard, and they were still quite fresh! Haha, I guess Lu Qian is old and has poor eyesight, so he didn't find it!"

Wen Man let out a soft cough.

She cursed under her breath.

Ho Zhen Dong came over and called everyone: "Alright, let's eat! We're all starving!"

As Mingzhu was about to leave, someone grabbed her hand.

She looked down and saw it was Xiao Shuo Shuo. The little guy was fidgeting and asked, "Where's Uncle Grandpa"ng himself from making a sound!When leaving the bedroom, I stumbled and almost fell…He pushed open the study door and reached into a drawer, pulling out a vial. His hands trembled as he twisted it ope...
