Chapter 904: To Get Married!
Real men would not shed tears. Now that Lu Jinwen was unable to reach Lin Xuanji at all and he was in tremendous pain and suffering.
It was unbearable.
Such a day had come that it had become a luxury just to even catch a glimpse of her and hear her voice.
He was swallowed by the boundless darkness and his weakness. He could not do anything at all because he could not muster his strength.
She was everything to him. Everything.
At this moment, the grandfather clock let out a low sound. Dong, dong, dong… it was already midnight and a new day had begun.
How was she now?
He did not know…
He actually did not know at all…
Ha.
Lu Jinwen lay on the soft bed. The room was pitch-dark and his world had already been enveloped in darkness.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Butler Ye’s voice could be heard. “Sir, there’s news from the hospital. Your heart compatibility test with Madam was… not successful.
“There have been many people coming forward over the past month to test for heart compatibility but all of them have failed. I’m afraid there’s no heart in this world that’s compatible with Madam.”
Butler Ye had said these words in a diplomatic manner. Actually, he still hoped for a miracle, but this miracle did not come.
He lived every single day in loneliness and torment.
There was no reply from the room. Lu Jinwen kept his door shut and did not come out at all for the entire night.
…
The next morning. At the arrival hall in the airport.
The staff saw him and said, “Sir, good day to you. Are you here to wait for someone again?”
Lu Jinwen nodded. “Hm.”
He walked over to the gla.s.s window and gently touched the window with his fingers, drawing a line of ripples.
He walked from one end to another and his deep eyes were fixated on the people walking out. Another plane had descended and everyone was coming out.
The staff looked at Lu Jinwen. This man was really strange. He would come here every single day this month.
He would wait for the people here from this flight.
At the beginning, there would be a tinge of hope on his handsome face but as the days went by, he became increasingly silent and despondent.
He did not seem to have changed his clothes at all and his s.h.i.+rt and trousers were the same clothes that he had worn yesterday. After one night, his tailored s.h.i.+rt was creased and there was a ring of stubble on his chin.
Now he was crouching by the gla.s.s window and his deep and narrow eyes were fixated on everyone inside. He seemed to have a spark in his eyes, which was filled with sincerity and hope, but at the time, he seemed so heartbroken.
Who was he waiting for?
Was he waiting for a woman?
He must love… have loved… that woman very much.
Soon later, the people inside walked out and were received by their own relatives. The staff did not immediately lock the door. He wanted to give this Sir a little more time. “Sir, the person that you’re waiting for is not here today.”
Lu Jinwen looked at the empty hallway and he curved his lips. He said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “It’s alright, I’ll wait for her every day that she’s not here. If she doesn’t come forever, I’ll wait for her forever.”
With that, Lu Jinwen turned around to leave.
The staff felt very sad and gave a sigh before heading forward to close the door. Just then, he heard a flurry of light footsteps and a little hand reached out. “I’m sorry, I’m a little late.”
The staff startled and a few seconds later, he looked up to see the man. The man had already walked further away and arrived at the main door of the airport.
“Miss, are you that person? Are you the person that Sir has been waiting for? He’s over there!” The staff pointed ahead in excitement.
Lin Xuanji glanced sideways. In the sea of people, she saw a tall and handsome figure. She carried her luggage and walked two steps ahead before shouting loudly, “Lu Jinwen!”
Lu Jinwen was just about to exit the main door when he suddenly froze.
“Lu Jinwen!”
Someone was calling him.
He instantly had a memory flashback from decades ago. Lin Xuanji was ravis.h.i.+ngly beautiful back then, and she would always chase after him and calling out to him in her melodious voice, “Lu Jinwen… Lu Jinwen? Lu Jinwen!”
He had heard it.
He heard it!
At this point in time, he really heard it, but he did not turn his head.
He did not even turn his head once.
He had turned his head when he was in Bangkok Number 1, but he had missed it.
Was he hallucinating now? Was he dreaming?
He clenched his fists and his unperturbed heart was thumping wildly in an instant. He slowly turned his body around.
Lin Xuanji was standing in front of him.
She had returned?
She had returned!
Today, Lin Xuanji was wearing a long black dress and the simple elegant black color accentuated her perfect figure. Her black hair cascaded down her back and she looked mesmerizing.
It had been many years and she had transformed into such a gentle and delicate woman.
Lu Jinwen promptly walked towards her.
On the way there, he knocked into people and he was chastised, “Hey, what’s wrong with you. Can’t you see where you’re going?”
But Lu Jinwen did not stop, he did not seem to have heard anything. His attention was focused solely on her.
Hurried strides brought him back in front of her. He gradually raised his hand to caress her face.
Was this a dream?
He needed to feel the warmth from her body. Only her warmth could make him feel safe and secure. He caressed her face. Her smooth and soft skin was warm.
It was indeed warm.
He curved his lips and smiled at her tenderly. As he was smiling, two drops of tears fell from his eyes.
That was great.
She had returned.
He stretched his strong arms out to embrace her. He embraced her so tightly that he wished he could a.s.similate her into his flesh and bone. He buried his head in her head and took in her scent deeply. He murmured in a low voice, “Xuanji, I knew… you would definitely come back.”
Lin Xuanji did not hug him back nor push him away. She only replied softly, “I won’t forget my promise.”
“Then… can you give me the rest of your life?”
Lin Xuanji nodded her head slightly. “Hm.”
During this one month at Country Z, Jun Xiwan had handed her a note that Jun Mosheng had written when he was still alive. Mosheng said, “Xuanji, we only live once. If we betray our own heart, we will definitely have regrets. You’ve ended the hatred between Lu Jinwen and yourself, but what about your love?”
Yesterday, the flame from the candle was flickering. When it was about to be snuffed out, all she could think of was this man.
She thought to herself that she must let herself live without regrets for the rest of her life.
She wanted to personally end this love.
The love of this lifetime would end in this lifetime.
After getting her affirmation, Lu Jinwen released her and then clutched her delicate hand tightly in his palm. He pulled her and began to sprint towards the door. Her long dress billowed in the cold wind and seemed to wrapped around his trousers.
“Where are we going?”
“To get married!”
