After putting down the letter, Xu Cheng looked into the distance at a civilian aircraft that was flying across the sky and he lightly sighed.
Two days later, Lin Lei went to Lin Chuxue’s company.
Lin Chuxue was heading out for work, and when she saw him, she asked curiously,
Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay with Xu Cheng?
Brother-in-Law’s going back to the military, so he told me to come and stay with you.
Lin Lei bitterly smiled.
Lin Chuxue’s face slightly changed.
He’s leaving?
Lin Lei:
He’s packing right now.
Lin Chuxue immediately ran out of the company, completely shocking her agent who shouted behind her,
Where are you going?
Postpone my schedule, I’m gone for the day.
Lin Chuxue didn’t even look back as she ran down the stairs outside of the company in her heels.
Sis, wait for me too!
Lin Lei followed, but Lin Chuxue didn’t wait for him. She just went to the parking lot and got into her own car before speeding off towards Xu Cheng’s apartment.
Four years ago, he went to the military and there was no news at all from him for four years. He finally came out, but now he’s going back again? Is he really giving up on our marriage and just leaving fate to run its course now?
Lin Chuxue directly parked the car in front of the condo and ran into the elevator. Looking at the elevator slowly moving up, she muttered in her heart,
Hurry up, hurry up, I hope he didn’t leave yet.
Xu Cheng carried a bag, and his other hand was holding his phone with a typed text message. He didn’t know if he should press the send button. After hesitating for awhile, he deleted the text, and then closed the door. Then, he called an elevator and walked into it.
At the same time, from another elevator, Lin Chuxue ran out and just barely missed Xu Cheng. Just a few steps out, Lin Chuxue realized that there was a person inside the other elevator and she immediately turned around. Seeing that elevator’s doors were about to fully close, she didn’t think much anymore and stuck her slim hand between the closing doors.
When the gate was about to close, Xu Cheng suddenly saw a little snow white hand reaching in between the doors. He immediately stuck out his foot to stop the elevator doors, and the doors immediately popped back open, and Xu Cheng saw the beautiful Lin Chuxue standing in front of him.
He just saw her chest was going up and down a lot from heavy breathing, and there were bead-sized sweat drops on her forehead.
Are you not afraid of hurting your hand?
Xu Cheng scolded her for her recklessness.
I’m not, because I know you won’t let me get hurt!
Lin Chuxue deliberately teased and smiled capriciously. The time seemed to have returned to their youth during junior high.
So, everything you’ve done for me, I know it all, but I didn’t say it because I don’t want you to think I agreed to marry you just to pay you back. Xu Cheng, can you forget about your background, stop looking down on yourself, and just accept us two being together? Just like how you treated those upper class in Shangcheng, they looked down on you and tried to humiliate you, but you just returned with actions. One can’t decide their birth, but it’s sad to accept your fate.
Lin Chuxue looked at him and talked a lot. Those were all words she had held in and wanted to tell him a long time ago.
Xu Cheng looked at her and said,
I never cared about how others look at me, I only care about whether the little girl would still look at me the same way after she grows up. Even now, I can still remember my first day going to school, when I hid in the corner of the stairway, that little girl came over with bread and wanted to be friends with me.
Lin Chuxue’s eyes became a bit misty.
She didn’t change at all, not even a little. She’s still like before, but only the boy had grown up and wanted to prove himself, so he locked himself up.
Chapter 168: Promise (Part two)
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
But I’m a loser, and you followed me back to Huaxia for all these years, and I know you hadn’t been happy, but I had no way of taking you back to Britain. I couldn’t do anything useful, and I had been trying to escape.
Lin Chuxue shook her head immediately, and she wanted to refute that wasn’t the case at all, but Xu Cheng continued right away,
But Chuxue, can you wait for me for a few more months?
Lin Chuxue paused for a moment, and she looked at him with hints of surprise.
Just wait for me for a few more months. Once the 36 army competition is over, we will take a trip back to Britain!
You – are you being serious?
Lin Chuxue looked at him in disbelief.
Xu Cheng nodded and was very serious.
Yes, let’s go face those people. No matter what they will say or do, I will announce that the Rose of Britain is my wife!
Lin Chuxue’s blue gem-like eyes batted as her eyes became slightly red.
Aren’t you scared?
Xu Cheng smiled.
My dad even has the courage to offend the Ye Family, what am I scared of? I’m his son, and if I can’t even get the woman I like and overcome this hurdle, then I’m also not qualified to seek justice for him!
Lin Chuxue began crying tears of joy, and she bit her lip and kept on nodding.
Okay, I can wait! I’ve waited for these years already, I don’t mind waiting for a few more months.
Xu Cheng pulled her into the elevator suddenly and into his embrace, and despite Lin Chuxue being 1.7 meters tall, she was still a little girl in front of the 1.9-meter tall burly Xu Cheng. She lost her balance and was pulled into Xu Cheng’s embrace, and she completely lost the ability to resist. She just let Xu Cheng domineeringly hug her, and the two of them both forgot to separate.
When the elevator got to the first floor and opened, Lin Lei was waiting outside and his eyes stared wide open at the sight of the two hugging. Seeing her little brother’s shocked expression, Lin Chuxue immediately pushed Xu Cheng away, fixed up her clothes and stood at the corner of the elevator.
Xu Cheng was also a bit lost in that hug and felt a bit awkward all of a sudden.
Are you both not planning to come out?
Lin Lei teasingly asked the two of them.
Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue both stepped forward at the same time, but who knew their movement was in unison and the door was quite narrow, and the two got stuck at the door again. The situation just became more awkward than ever.
At last, Xu Cheng backed up a step to let Lin Chuxue out first, and then he went out.
After getting out, Lin Chuxue just left without even looking back, as if she was trying to flee. But, she left this behind.
Take good care of yourself when you go to the army.
Lin Lei giggled at Xu Cheng and then immediately turned around to chase after his sis.
Xu Cheng looked at Lin Chuxue’s back image in content and felt warmth in his heart.
Sis, what were you two doing just now?
Lin Lei caught up to his sis and deliberately asked.
Lin Chuxue gave him the stink eye, put on her shades, got into her sports car, and said,
The elevator reached the first floor so quickly, you tell me what we can do during that time?
Lin Lei:
Are you saying that if it took longer, you two could have gotten more done?
Lin Chuxue snorted, and she directly started the car and drove off, leaving behind Lin Lei. Lin Lei was so lost as he began shouting on the spot,
Sis, I’m your little brother! Are you just going to leave me here?
You know too much, I’m already being nice enough by not taking you out!
Lin Chuxue left this behind as she drove further and further away. But, on her face, there was a little happy smile on her face that hadn’t appeared in years.
