Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 59 Zhou Jinghuai, I will remember you for the rest of my life.

In an instant.

Li Wu was startled.

The moment she opened her eyes, before she could even see the person in front of her clearly, she pushed him away with her hand.

But it was also in that instant.

Li Wu's hand was grabbed.

A deep, familiar voice followed, "Push me, huh?"

A vague, indistinct gaze focuses.

When Li Wu looked up, she saw an incomparably handsome face.

He was dressed quite formally today. His expensive and exquisite suit was perfectly pressed, and his tie was tied in the best Windsor knot.

Gentle and refined, impeccably dressed, exuding an aura of nobility and elegance.

Even though he was so close to her, he seemed to live in a completely separate world.

It remains as unattainable and unreachable as ever.

Li Wu felt a strange sense of fear creeping into her heart.

He stood there stunned for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled and gently squeezed the little girl's hand that he had caught. His voice was clear and gentle, "Didn't you say you missed me? Why are you staring blankly when you see me?"

The familiar aura is back.

The timidity in my heart vanished instantly.

Li Wu straightened up slightly and skillfully reached out to wrap her arms around Zhou Jinghuai's neck.

Her voice was soft and weak, still carrying a hint of languidness from just waking up, "I missed you so much..."

Li Wu gently buried her head in the man's neck, inhaling his clean, elegant, and familiar scent.

It seemed that this way, she could easily fill the void in her heart that longed to see him.

"It's been so long, I almost forgot what you look like..." Li Wu paused, then smiled jokingly.

Actually, it wasn't that long.

It only took about half a month.

Zhou Jinghuai reached out and patted her head, his voice light, "So you've forgotten what I look like after just over ten days? What if it were a few years later? Would you forget even my name?"

"how come!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wu reacted strongly, immediately straightening up from Zhou Jinghuai's embrace.

Her clear, bright eyes gazed at him, her expression earnest, and her words were spoken with perfect clarity.

"Zhou Jinghuai, I will remember you for the rest of my life."

But later.

Zhou Jinghuai watched her smiling radiantly as she linked arms with another man, and heard her say, "Mr. Zhou, do we know each other?"

Then, an endless mockery and a cold, sarcastic laugh spread across his eyes.

Laugh at the lifetime she once spoke of.

He laughed at himself even more.

……

Zhou Jinghuai looked down at the girl's fair and delicate face, gently patted her head, and said in a light voice, "What are you talking about forever, you little kid?"

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head away, not wanting him to take her picture.

Now you're saying she's too young?!
But seemingly still angry, Li Wu turned her head and suddenly bit his aloof and sexy thin lips.

When she looked up at him, Li Wu's bright eyes were full of smiles, as if to say: Are you still young?

"..."

Zhou Jinghuai chuckled.

He lowered his head and gave her a long, deep kiss.

In just a few seconds, Li Wu went limp in his arms.

Her pale, slender neck was slightly tilted back, its curve delicate and beautiful.

……

After a long, deep kiss.

Li Wu's pale face was tinged with a rosy hue, making her delicate and pretty face even more charming.

Li Wu, her heart pounding, leaned on Zhou Jinghuai's shoulder.

She couldn't breathe properly, and her rosy, soft lips were slightly parted.

She nestled into Zhou Jinghuai's arms, clinging tightly to him.

His aura seemed to permeate his entire body, even down to the depths of his bone marrow.

Just one kiss, and her body seemed to be aroused as well.

Li Wu, who was trying to recover from the initial sensation in her body, felt as the aura she was absorbing grew thicker and thicker, and even the backs of her feet felt as if they were being gently gnawed by ants.

She looked up, her beautiful, misty eyes glistening with tears as she gazed at the man before her.

In contrast, Zhou Jinghuai...

Even with a beautiful woman in his arms, she remained dignified and graceful. Every gesture she made exuded a gentle and noble elegance, like the moon shining brightly in the breeze.

Sometimes, even during sex, she would experience multiple orgasms, her spasms submerged in the vast rainforest.

He rarely loses control.

Sometimes Li Wu was genuinely curious about what could possibly fascinate and captivate Zhou Jinghuai.

Zhou Jinghuai looked down at Li Wu's wet, misty eyes and her blushing, charming face, which was exceptionally endearing.

He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, seemingly disappointed that he couldn't actually pinch any water. However, the touch was smooth, warm, and soft, with an excellent feel. He could almost feel a thin layer of damp warmth.

"So hungry?" he asked casually.

"..." He was too nonchalant, and Li Wu felt so angry that she wanted to bite him again.

Zhou Jinghuai smiled lazily, lightly tapped her head, which was about to lunge forward again, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Let's go get something to eat first."

Li Wu looked at the smile on his face, her expression somewhat dazed.

It wasn't until Zhou Jinghuai led her outside that Li Wu belatedly realized what was happening.

His smile was so breathtakingly beautiful that it would not be an exaggeration to say that "the world paled in comparison."

Li Wu glanced sideways, unable to resist taking another look at his perfectly proportioned profile. Even though she'd seen him countless times, her heart still raced a little.

A few seconds later.

Li Wu silently tightened his grip on the hand that was holding his.

Without realizing it, my steps became lighter.

She always felt happy when she was with him.

……

Li Wu assumed that when Zhou Jinghuai said he would take her out to eat, it was just the two of them.

When Li Wu saw the person she was going to have dinner with, her pupils dilated slightly.

But during the time she spent with Zhou Jinghuai, she gradually learned some composure and calmness in the face of adversity.

So she still wore a warm and polite smile on her face. But in reality, she had already secretly pinched Zhou Jinghuai's arm.

She really wanted to ask him.

Could she please not go to this meal...?

Although Li Wu rarely goes online and intentionally blocks information from the internet, she still recognizes prominent diplomats and a certain director who have spoken and appeared on public platforms.

"Li Wu, this is my girlfriend," Zhou Jinghuai introduced her briefly to them.

Although both were deeply surprised, they showed no sign of it on their faces. They simply smiled politely and didn't ask any further questions.

Later we went to eat.

Although the two individuals exuded a friendly aura, the atmosphere during their casual conversation was entirely relaxed and comfortable, like that of close friends gathering.

But Li Wu felt unconsciously nervous.

Especially when she reached for the cashew venison in front of her, her gaze inadvertently met that of the director.

The latter's gaze was gentle and smiling.

But her hand still trembled inexplicably, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, she bent down and reached under the table to pick it up.

Wait until you pick it up.

Li Wu then realized that it was no longer usable.

Hesitating.

A large, pale, jade-like hand with well-defined joints took the bamboo chopsticks she was holding. Then, a waiter waiting outside came in and replaced them with a new pair for her.

Li Wu looked at him and whispered, "Thank you."

Zhou Jinghuai didn't say anything. He simply used the serving chopsticks to pick up another piece of the cashew venison and put it into Li Wu's bowl.

Li Wu only noticed the soup stain on her dress when she looked down.

It must have been accidentally bumped when the chopsticks fell.

She quietly told Zhou Jinghuai that she was going to the restroom. She then gave the two people who were looking over an apologetic smile before getting up and leaving.

But once she left, she never went back.

……

At the end.

Li Wu stood under the corridor waiting, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the distance.

The two people standing in front of Zhou Jinghuai were gentle and approachable, completely unlike their solemn and imposing demeanor in public. They were probably saying goodbye and exchanging pleasantries.

Zhou Jinghuai nodded in response to each one, his attitude gentle and polite.

They seem to be from the same world.

In fact, Li Wu had no idea how rich and powerful Zhou Jinghuai was, not even a concept of it.

later……

She accompanied him on a business trip to Finland, and before leaving, the leader presented her with a Finnish pine tree, named after her and planted on a hill in Järvi, Finland. When she accompanied him to the United States, the Vice President personally received him at the White House. When she went with him to the branch office in the Philippines, their business partner there presented her with a beautiful and exquisite shell carving. It was made from one side of a bivalve shell, polished to perfectly preserve the natural color of the white-lipped cowrie, lustrous and elegant, and engraved with her initials. Li Wu only later learned that the last similar piece was now in a museum…

……

……

There are many, many more examples like this.

It seems that Zhou Jinghuai has dealings with people of all kinds, regardless of their wealth or status.

Whether those people wanted to maintain a friendly or cooperative relationship with Zhou Jinghuai, or wanted to use this opportunity to climb the social ladder and seek cooperation... she seemed to have become the slightly easier path to take.

But she never accepts them.

—Because none of those things belonged to her.

Not to mention.

Zhou Jinghuai had specifically told her not to accept anything from anyone else.

He could give her whatever she wanted.

……

That year.

Zhou Jinghuai took Li Wu to many, many places, let her see many beautiful landscapes, eat many delicious foods, and meet people from many different social classes.

That same year, Li Wu fell completely in love with him.
