Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 146 Sorry

……

When Li Wu walked into the living room, she heard a "bang" as the security door was slammed shut.

She glanced over instinctively and saw Zhou Jinghuai's tall and imposing figure standing at the doorway.

In his hand, he was holding the two boxes of medicine.

In that instant, the temperature in the living room seemed to drop several degrees.

Li Wu stood frozen in place, hesitant to go over, and even more hesitant to look at the expression on his face.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Wu walked over to Zhou Jinghuai, extended her hand to him, and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Give it to me."

Zhou Jinghuai made no move.

There was a pause.

Li Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she looked up at Zhou Jinghuai.

His expression was so calm that it revealed no emotion; his eyes and brows were dark and deep, like the unfathomable ink sea at midnight. The surface of the sea was calm, but beneath it, undercurrents surged.

He just watched her quietly.

But that look in his eyes inexplicably made Li Wu feel uneasy.

She lowered her head unconsciously, her fingers trembling slightly, and took the bag from his hand without asking.

Then he fled to the kitchen.

After boiling the water, I waited for it to cool down slowly.

It took about ten minutes before Li Wu swallowed the birth control pill.

I didn't feel anything, except that my throat felt slightly dry after swallowing.

Li Wu drank the remaining water in the cup, lukewarm.

Her gaze fell on the window.

After a long, silent winter, the barren trees come back to life, and new buds begin to sprout from the branches.

Zhou Jinghuai had always been very cautious; he would never touch her without a condom, and his self-control was ridiculously strong.

That was her only bottom line.

This is a tacit consensus among them.

After finishing her glass of water, Li Wu lowered her head, turned on the tap, and carefully rinsed the glass.

She cleaned it thoroughly. Just as Li Wu put the cup down, Zhou Jinghuai hugged her from behind.

A familiar, crisp scent enveloped the area.

Along with that, a low apology from Zhou Jinghuai fell beside her ear, as if it were overflowing from the deepest part of his throat.

"sorry."

Li Wu was taken aback.

There was silence for a while.

Li Wu turned around, looking at the man's taut and exceptionally handsome face, and softly said, "We used to..."

"Lili, in a couple of days, I'll take you to meet my mom."

Li Wu had only said a few words when Zhou Jinghuai spoke up.

But as soon as Zhou Jinghuai finished speaking, it was unclear whether Li Wu was pondering the meaning behind his words or if mentioning his mother had stirred up some unpleasant memories.

Li Wu frowned unconsciously.

From the moment he opened his mouth, Zhou Jinghuai's gaze was fixed on Li Wu's face, and he naturally saw her subconscious reaction.

Zhou Jinghuai tightened his grip on Li Wu's waist, his voice low and gentle as he soothed her, "Don't worry, I've talked to her, she won't make things difficult for you anymore."

Li Wu stared at him in surprise.

Zhou Jinghuai lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and said softly, "Lili, I want to marry you, and I will also make my family accept you."

talking.

As Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, she felt something icy cold on her wrist.

She looked down.

A royal green jadeite bracelet was placed on her wrist. Its texture was delicate and pure, warm and antique. It was clearly a unique and rare piece.

Li Wu looked at Zhou Jinghuai.

He explained, "It was left to my granddaughter-in-law by my grandmother."

……

The meeting with Yang Shuhua was scheduled for two days later.

It was in a teahouse.

That day, Zhou Jinghuai accompanied Li Wu there.
