Chapter 269: Guilt

She lifted her head and tasted the saltiness of tears between her lips. She would not let him leave, and she refused to believe what that woman had said. She would take everything back with her two hands.

Not losing it now didn’t mean it wouldn’t be lost forever.

She only believed in herself.

Chu Lui came home to find a cake on the table. His eyebrows knitted into a tight frown. ‘Why is there a cake?’ His hand went to his forehead with realization. Of late, he had been neglecting his wife.

“Lui, you are back.” Li Manni hugged him from behind. Her soft hands went around his waist in a tight circle. Unlike some women who had found out about their husbands’ unfaithfulness, she did not create a scene or vent her anger on others. She used her own methods because she knew what Chu Lui’s weaknesses were.

“What is the occasion today? Why is there a cake?” Chu Lui thought seriously, but he could not think of a reason for the cake. It was not her birthday or his.

“Have you forgotten? It will be our wedding anniversary in a few days. I know you have been busy so I thought we should have an early celebration.” Her hands hugged even tighter, and she sounded as though she was choking back a sob.

Guilt rapidly flashed past Chu Lui’s face. She turned around and took her into his arms. It had been his habit for the past four years to worry, care, and pamper her. Out of habit, he thought he was loving her.

Recently, he had really neglected her. If it wasn’t for that woman, he would’ve never done this.

“I’m sorry. It’s been busy at the company. Once we are past this busy period, I will be sure to make it up to you.” He reached out and caressed Li Manni’s hair. Yet, he did not notice the mocking smile on her lips.

He had neglected her, but in his mind, there was another woman. Lui, do you really think that you could hide this from everyone? Do you ever think of me when you are with her?

“I’ll take you out.” He pulled Li Manni’s hand, picked up his car keys, and walked out. It truly had been a long time since they have had dinner together. To put things differently, he would make tonight a special night for her. He was not a romantic person; neither was he good with words. Some things, he could do it but could not say.

“Okay.” Li Manni nodded her head lightly. The broad smile remained on her lips. “Lui, actually I’m fine. I just missed you.” She leaned her head on her husband’s forearm. Chu Lui caught the look of disappointment in her eyes. His left arm hugged her closer. He had been too involved with himself lately.

With his hand around her waist, the two of them boarded the car and went to the restaurant they frequented.

Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and kept walking. Even when she was using only one hand, she did not feel tired. As long as it was her daughter, she was able to carry her. Rainy was wearing that small sun hat on her head. She played with her from time to time.

“Hungry? Rainy?” Xia Ruoxin’s fingers ran across her daughter’s face. She had lost quite a bit of weight. Her baby had not been eating today, and her condition seemed to have worsened.
