Chapter 224: Just Not Worried

Fu Sijue stood downstairs, watching Lu Xiwán's room lights go out, and never moved a muscle the whole time.

On a June summer night, Fu Sijue felt only a chill through his whole body.

He gave a wry smile.

All this was the bitter fruit he sowed himself, and he could only endure it.

A phone suddenly rang, and Fu Sijue took a long while before sluggishly answering.

"President Fu, the company has an incident," Shen Shu's voice carried a hint of panic, and the voice on the other end was also chaotic.

Lu Xiwán took leave to find Luo Zhou, and sat opposite him absentmindedly.

"You've already sent me your design drafts for this quarter; why are you coming to me so early in the morning?" Luo Zhou couldn't bear to expose the strength Lu Xiwán was pretending to have.

Lu Xiwán remained silent for a long while, and Luo Zhou couldn't help but become a bit anxious, "What exactly happened? Why aren't you speaking?"

Only then did Lu Xiwán lift her head, and the bruised dark circles under her eyes startled Luo Zhou.

She hadn't slept at all last night, her mind filled with everything Fu Sijue had said.

She recounted all the details to Luo Zhou, and Lu Xiwán couldn't help but sigh, "Do you think I'm being foolish like this?"

Lu Xiwán's eyes were full of bewilderment; regarding this question, she truly couldn't figure out what she should choose. "You didn't take in any of what I said last time?" Luo Zhou gave a helpless smile.

He set the pen in his hand down and looked at Lu Xiwán very seriously.

"Tell me, what's on your mind?"

Lu Xiwán is not the type to be swayed by a single word from others.

Luo Zhou, of course, knew what Lu Xiwán was after. He suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Naturally, he didn't want Lu Xiwán to forgive Fu Sijue, yet he also didn't want to watch her sink into suffering.

"Since I learned the truth, I've been wondering whether there's any possibility left between us."

Lu Xiwán gave a helpless smile, "But I can't get past that barrier in my heart, and I can't let go of past feelings."

It was the first time she felt she was such a coward.

"Whenever something related to him comes up, I can't make a rational choice."

Lu Xiwán has thought countless times about letting go, but each time ended in failure.

"Do you still remember that time abroad? You were on the street, clutching someone and crying until you became a tearful mess."

Even now, when Luo Zhou recalls these, he still feels heartache for Lu Xiwán.

"You treated that person as Fu Sijue, holding Xi Xi and asking why that person abandoned you, when in fact that person only resembled Fu Sijue in appearance."

Since then, Luo Zhou knew that Lu Xiwán truly couldn't let go of Fu Sijue.

Remembering that, Lu Xiwán shamefully covered her face, "I was almost sent to the Police Station, but luckily you arrived early; otherwise I really wouldn't know what would have happened."

Luo Zhou nodded, "You've endured too much suffering, which is why you think forgiving Fu Sijue is wrong." He stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to Lu Xiwán, masking his own lapse.

"Since you came to me last time, I've been wondering: if the one who saved you hadn't been me, if you had stayed in Haicheng, would everything have turned out differently?"

Perhaps Fu Sijue will find Lu Xiwán, they will clarify everything, and then there won't be so many misunderstandings.

Lu Xiwán interrupted Luo Zhou, "Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in this world; I don't regret meeting you all at all, it's the luckiest thing in my life."

"I will regret having naively believed Gu Qingmeng's nonsense back then, regret not communicating directly with Fu Sijue, but I will never regret going abroad; you all helped me become better and let me find my true worth."

Having earned Lu Xiwán's approval, Luo Zhou finally relaxed his tense body, turned his head, and gave Lu Xiwán a gratified smile.
