She closed the sketchbook and looked at the huge wedding picture on the wall. She did not know why, but she felt uneasiness in her heart she could not put her finger on.
It was as if all she had now was not real and did not belong to her.
She patted her face softly, a masculine scent still lingering between her lips. He had said that they needed time. Then, she would give him time. No matter how much time he needed, she was willing to wait.
No matter how long.
She pressed her sketchbook to her chest. It’s just that… she placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed gently. Between the light touches of her fingers, her heart ached slightly.
She really wished to bear a child that resembled him, but it seemed impossible in this life.
There was an immense sorrow on her face, but she raised her lips into a smile with a lot of effort. It was alright, as long as she had him… as long as he did not dislike her. 1
Would he? 1
She was not sure.
She stood up and kept her sketchbook carefully. It was her treasure. If she lost it, she would be very distressed.
At the same time, in the office of the CEO of the Chu Group, Du Jingtang would raise his head to look at Chu Lui from time to time. It was as if there was a morning glory blooming on his head at that time.
Chu Lui threw the ink pen in his hand. “What are you looking at? Was your brain caught between the doors?” His voice was still cold and hard, but Du Jingtang just placed his hands under his chin in thought. He then reached his hand out, intending to touch Chu Lui’s forehead. Chu Lui’s body moved backward and dodged his hand.
Du Jingtang let out a laugh and pulled back his hand awkwardly, putting it on his own forehead instead. It was not hot. The problem lay with him.
“Cousin, I realized you’re acting abnormally.” His words made Chu Lui give him a cold stare, icy and cold. Du Jingtang smiled in a way that made Chu Lui feel like punching him and said, “It’s true, cousin. You didn’t realize, but you actually dazed off. You even smiled! Even though it was just the edge of your lips that lifted, but I saw everything clearly.” He pointed at his eyes, in case Chu Lui did not believe him.
“Both my eyes saw that.” 1
“Du Jingtang, is your workload too light?” Chu Lui crossed his arms across his chest. In this world, only this idiot Du Jingtang dared to provoke and make fun of him.
“Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you call me ‘brother’!” His threat made Du Jingtang shiver uncontrollably.
Du Jingtang pouted and raised both his hands in surrender.
“Brother, my dear brother. I was wrong. I won’t say that again.” It was better for him to act a little smarter. His elder cousin’s heart was made of stone, and when it was hard, he was heartless even towards his own relatives. He would not even take into account the blood relation he had with his younger cousin.
“Oh.” Du Jingtang suddenly thought of some serious business. “Cousin, there’s an auction taking place tonight. Are you going? I heard there are some exceptional items tonight that you might like.”
Chu Lui put down the pen in his hand, something indescribable flashing across his face briefly. An auction?
Du Jingtang shuddered involuntarily. It was the sense of unpredictability again. His cousin must be plotting something to deal with someone again. 3
He picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.
