“Mm-hmm.” “Wait, let me exchange a few words with the host first. Find a less crowded place to stay!” “You don’t need to worry about me, I’ll take care of myself.” “Knowing you’re pregnant, yet still dragging you here, I’m truly sorry.” Gao Yizhe looked apologetic. “Please don’t say that, I’m the one who should be grateful to you.” From beginning to end, he showed care and concern, which deeply touched Xinluo. Sometimes she couldn’t help but wonder why she didn’t fall for such a good man, but instead chose to love a man who was stingy with his affection.
During their conversation, they had already entered the banquet hall. Xinluo tacitly found a place where she could relax, letting Gao Yizhe mingle with others. Fortunately, there was a small corridor outside the banquet hall where she could overlook the starry night of Greater Taipei. Xinluo stood quietly, gazing absentmindedly at the twinkling stars below.
“Long time no see,” a familiar low voice suddenly came from behind, causing Xinluo’s back to stiffen instantly. “How have you been?” “Don’t want to turn and face me?” Xia Erxi raised an eyebrow, having noticed her since she first entered. Taking a light breath, Xinluo slowly turned around, her bright eyes meeting his long-missed handsome face.
Didn’t Gao Yizhe say he wouldn’t attend this banquet? Why is he here again? “How long has it been since we last met? Has it been two months?”
“He laughed softly, suppressing the impulse to hold her in his arms. “It’s been almost two months,” his hoarse throat could barely squeeze out a sound, his heart racing, Xinluo’s heartbeat was intense, and she could hardly face him, not expecting his impact on her to still be so strong.
“You…” she licked her li
“…” Not this question again! Would he ask this every time they met? Didn’t he know their relationship was different now? His way of asking… was so irresponsible!
“…” Seeing she didn’t answer, Xia’erxi lowered his eyes, hiding his complex and incomprehensible emotions well. He seemed… more haggard, lacking his previous confident and spirited demeanor. Was it because of her?
“Xinluo, I miss you, do you think we could…” he furrowed his brow imperceptibly, speaking with difficulty. She was the first to make him want to say such words.
