Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 151 I love you

……

Li Wu was still somewhat dazed.

Zhou Jinghuai had already reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Are you hungry? Shall I have someone bring some food in?" Zhou Jinghuai asked gently.

Li Wu subconsciously shook her head, but then suddenly stopped.

Zhou Jinghuai knew she was hesitant; she always instinctively refused. He didn't ask her further, but instead ordered the waiter to bring in the food.

He ordered a lot of food for her, but Li Wu said she wanted to eat wontons.

Zhou Jinghuai naturally obeyed her.

only.

Later, when Zhou Jinghuai picked up the bowl of wontons, preparing to feed Li Wu...

She turned her head away, a little unaccustomed to it, and said, "I can do it myself."

As she spoke, Li Wu took the chopsticks from Zhou Jinghuai and began to eat slowly by herself.

Zhou Jinghuai stared at her quietly for a long while.

No words were spoken.

I remember how she used to love it when he fed her. Sometimes, she would even sit on his lap, her beautiful, clear eyes looking at him, a little shy yet bold, asking him to feed her. It wasn't quite a display of affection, but it was just as endearing, making one's heart melt inexplicably.

But over the years she's been living abroad, she's probably been taking care of herself. She still looks gentle and refined, but she's actually become independent and composed, able to live well without relying on anyone.

Inexplicable.

Zhou Jinghuai's feelings were somewhat complicated; he felt gratified and moved, but also a little lost and wistful.

It seems like I've missed out on a lot.

As soon as Li Wu took her first bite, she saw Zhou Jinghuai quietly watching her.

"..."

Li Wu held the wonton she was holding with her chopsticks to Zhou Jinghuai's lips and asked, "Do you want some?"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Jinghuai snapped out of his reverie and looked down to meet Li Wu's beautiful, clear eyes.

Her eyes were filled with her own reflection.

Just like in the beginning.

Unable to refuse, Zhou Jinghuai lowered his head slightly and ate the wonton.

……

When they returned, Zhou Jinghuai asked the driver to take them back to Yuqing Garden. Li Wu, however, refused; she wanted to go back to her own place.

In the back seat, Zhou Jinghuai held Li Wu in his arms and tried to coax her for a long time, but she still wouldn't let go.

Finally, Li Wu pursed her lips and said, "I haven't met your father yet."

"Haven't you already met my mother? She no longer objects."

Zhou Jinghuai lowered his gaze to look into Li Wu's eyes and said gently.

Li Wu insisted, "Let's talk about it after I've met your father."

After a pause, Li Wu continued, but in a lower voice, "Your dad and your mom are different."

In the end, Zhou Jinghuai still drove Li Wu back to her apartment complex.

Li Wu tilted her head slightly, looking at the man who was following behind her and seeing her to the entrance of the residential area. "I'm going in now."

Zhou Jinghuai gave a low hum.

But don't want to.

Li Wu had only taken a few steps when Zhou Jinghuai suddenly called out to her again.

"Li Li."

"what's wrong?"

Li Wu stopped and turned to look at him, her beautiful eyebrows curving slightly. "Is there anything else?"

In the dim, yellowish light, she stood there, gentle and beautiful, gradually merging with the little girl from the depths of my memory.

ten years.

This is their tenth year.

She was the only girl in his life.

Their eyes met, and Li Wu suddenly stopped talking.

Looking into Zhou Jinghuai's dark, deep eyes, her heart began to race. It was as if she had returned to the long-lost courage she felt when she faced him years ago.

A moment later, Li Wu was embraced. Zhou Jinghuai lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Every word was written with care and devotion.

"Lili, I love you."
