Chapter 975: Last Look at him (1)

When Leng Nuan walked out of the washroom, she didn’t notice Lu Benlai walking out of the men’s washroom.

Upon seeing her, Lu Benlai subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Today was Lin Jiage and Shi Yao’s wedding. As the best man, he had to take care of many of his classmates and business partners, so he was indeed quite busy. Even though the two of them had bumped into each other several times, neither of them had spoken to the other.

Upon seeing her, Lu Benlai instinctively moved his lips.

The ‘Nuannuan’that he had called out countless times in the past was now like a heavy lead stone, pressing down on his lips and teeth. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring himself to spit it out.

In the end, he still didn’t have the courage to do so. For example, over the past month, he had tried to look for her countless times, but because he didn’t dare to give up on the idea, he had even gotten someone to block her from looking for him, he also did not dare to answer her calls..

Because he was afraid, afraid that once he opened his mouth, he could not help but ask her about her past.

Yes, everyone had a past, but he was afraid that if she replied to him, it would be the result that he did not dare to face. He was afraid that she really loved someone else, afraid that she really did not love him, that was why she kept such a distance from him..

Lu Benlai looked at Leng Nuan’s back and his Adam’s apple rolled up and down several times. In the end, he swallowed the words that he wanted to call her back.

She didn’t notice him at all, so it didn’t take long for her to disappear into the entrance of the washroom in her high heels.

As if his acupoints had been struck, Lu Benlai remained rooted to the spot in a daze for a moment before walking over to the sink and turning on the tap.

After returning to the banquet hall from the washroom, Lu Benlai subconsciously looked around for Leng Nuan, but he didn’t see her anywhere.

He thought that she might have gone back to the bride’s room upstairs, so he put away his messy thoughts from the unexpected encounter with her in the bathroom and continued helping Lin Jiage send off the guests.

..

When Leng Nuan walked out of Beijing Grand Hotel, she turned her head to look at the Grand Hotel lobby behind her, as if she was looking at her past through such a bustling scene.

It wasn’t until she was waiting for her car at the entrance that she impatiently honked the horn. It was only then that Leng Nuan retracted her gaze, opened the car door, and got into the car.

The car door closed, and the driver immediately started the engine.

As the car drove out, Leng Nuan’s sharp eyes caught sight of Lu Benlai and Lin Jiage walking out of the elevator with a few people in bright clothes.

Lu Benlai was too engrossed in his conversation with the people around him to notice the car at the entrance.

Leng Nuan didn’t respond. Instead, she calmly sat in the car, staring at Lu Benlai with a calm expression.

It didn’t take long before the car reached the side of the road. Lu Benlai also walked out of the revolving door and stood at the entrance of the hotel.

Leng Nuan swiftly turned her head around. Through the window behind her, she only managed to catch a glimpse of Lu Benlai. Then, the car turned a corner, and his figure completely disappeared from her sight.

She knew… that this glance was the last time she would look at him.

She knew… that this farewell would probably mean that they would never see each other again in this lifetime.

Because it was not the weekend, the traffic conditions in the afternoon were still pretty good. Not long after, the car arrived at Leng Nuan’s place.

She asked the driver to wait for her downstairs for a while and went upstairs alone. Not long after, she came down with two suitcases.

Returning to the car, the driver asked, “Beijing International Airport?”

Leng Nuan replied with a very soft “HMM”and did not speak again.
