Love Is Not about Possessing but Giving Your Blessings 2

Wu Hao didn’t force the issue with Xu Wennuan. He quietly stood by her to offer his company as she waited for a taxi. Twenty minutes later, with no available taxi in sight, Wu Hao asked again, “Where are you going?”

Xu Wennuan ignored him. As she continued to wait, she thought of the bank card her mom had given her when she had visited her father in the hospital. Her mom had told her that Wu Hao had given her the card. Recalling now that she had left the card at home, she replied, “Going home.”

Now that she had spoken to him, Wu Hao took the opport“No, thank you,” Xu Wennuan interrupted. “Wu Hao, we’re not together anymore. You don’t need to do anything for me. I don’t want to owe you anything.”

The more words Xu Wennuan said, the paler Wu Hao’s face became. By the end of her explanation, he looked as pale as a vampire. Xu Wennuan did not seem to notice the change on him. She paused for a second before continuing. “And, please don’t come to the hospital so frequently. My mom can take care of my dad. We really do not want to trouble you for that.”

When she was finished speaking, Xu Wennuan closed the door in Wu Hao’s blood-drained face.magic

When Lu Bancheng received a call from Xu Wennuan at five o’clock in the afternoon, he looked at the cell phone screen for a moment before ending the call without answering it. After a while, his phone rang again. This time Xu Wennuan sent him a text message. “Can we please talk?”

Lu Bancheng didn’t even unlock his phone to read what else she might have written. Instead, he placed it upside down on the desk. He focused again on the computer screen and continued to type, even though his phone kept ringing. Every time it rang, his typing slowed down; however, he never looked at his phone.

After finishing his work, it was already 10 o’clock at night. Lu Bancheng put on his jacket and left the office. As he walked to his car, he deleted all the messages from Xu Wennuan without reading or listening to them.
