He was originally such a proud man, with no tolerance for the slightest flaw. When he first met Chu E, he was attracted by the deep melancholy in her eyes. The more they interacted, the more he discovered her goodness. To him, she was as sacred as a star in the sky – cold, elegant, noble, and pure. He felt only such a woman could match him, and he even had thoughts of protecting her for a lifetime. But Lin Lan told him that Chu E had once worked as a hostess in a nightclub due to financial difficulties, and the sadness in her eyes was because her life had been stained. Lin Lan had also begged him not to ask Chu E about this, because they were childhood friends, and she didn’t want anyone to mention this past.
He believed her and painfully distanced himself from Chu E. But he never imagined that Lin Lan had actually deceived him! If he hadn’t accidentally overheard Lin Lan’s drunken confession while watching Chu E struggling to help the drunk Lin Lan at the wedding, he would still be in the dark! How could he, always proud, accept such a thing happening to him? On their wedding night, looking at his completely drunk bride, he was disgusted. The day after the wedding, he started not coming home, turning off his phone. Lin Lan couldn’t find him, and their planned honeymoon was shelved.
Luo Xuan spent nights drinking in bars, his mind and heart full of Chu E’s every gesture, her melancholy, her lightness, her beauty! Unfortunately, he had so easily missed her!
“Chu Chu!” he looked at her sorrowfully, “Can you give me another chance?”
“You’re drunk!” Chu E said flatly, “Luo Xuan, go home. Lin Lan is waiting for you! Don’t forget, you just had your wedding. You can’t treat her like this!” Then she turned and walked away.
“Chu Chu!” Luo Xuan chased two steps, then dejectedly stopped. “Chu Chu,” he called, “if I divorce Lin Lan, can we start over?”
Chu E was stunned. “Are you crazy?” she said with difficulty.
Luo Xuan looked at her eagerly, “Chu Chu, I just need one word from you. As long as you nod, I can divorce Lin Lan immediately…”
