l be issued from here."Wen Man hesitated for a moment but didn't refuse. She got out of the car and walked into the home furnishings store. She didn't know that this was a frequent haunt for the resi...The door closed softly.

Before Lu You could even speak, Ye Bai leaned down and kissed her...

The shawl slipped from her shoulders.

Like clouds, they piled onto the sofa. Then her body was laid down on top, her dark hair reflecting the dark lines, making her pale face even whiter like snow.

Ye Bai kissed her neck.

He unbuttoned her blouse with one hand.

Lu You grabbed his arm, her voice slightly breathless: "Ye Bai... too fast..."

Ye Bai paused for a moment.

He looked down at the woman beneath him, asking gently, "Where does it hurt Lu You, we've known each other for over ten years."

They were even married for a long time, but if you count it, they never really lived together.

Lu You never quite agreed.

Ye Bai softened his approach... This is probably a man's talent, knowing that women only soften their hearts in this matter. Only then are they truly soft-hearted and truly want to spend their lives with him.

After a while, Lu You's slender fingers reached into his hair, and he became soft in her touch.

Their love was palpable, ready to ignite with a single touch.

Just then, Ye Bai's phone rang in his pocket. He didn't want to answer, his palm was caressing her body with abandon, completely moved... The ringtone continued persistently.

Lu You came back to her senses, leaning against his shoulder. "Phone! Maybe it's something from work!"

Ye Bai's eyes were deep.

He supported himself with one hand on her side, the other holding his phone. After seeing who was calling, he frowned... Lu You looked up at him, reaching out to gently stroke his features, her voice softening: "What's wrong"

Ye Bai didn't speak. He turned off his phone and said, "It's okay! Keep going!"

But Lu You guessed who was calling.

It should be Gina.

The sliver of affection that had just risen cooled instantly. She had no mind to do anything... Slowly she sat up and leaned against the back of the sofa. After a moment, she said: "Ye Bai, I don't mean to interfere in your social life, but I can't accept you associating with a girl who likes and pursues you. I know her father saved you, but Ye Bai, you should be able to distinguish between gratitude and feelings."

She paused and then said, "Sometimes, you can only choose one or the other."

Now he chooses Gina, even if they can't be friends when they're not together, at least it's honest. They won't have any awkwardness when they meet again in the future. But if they really get together, and he continues to keep ties with Gina, Lu You thinks she probably wouldn't forgive him.

Ye Bai turned over and sat beside her.

At this time, he had no mind to do anything.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a puff. Then he said in a low voice: "Gina is very sick. She won't live for another year or two, so I'm being a little lenient with her."

He told her he was sorry.

Although Lu You was surprised, she remained rational. She didn't foolishly let Ye Bai take care of Gina out of kindness, because feelings were inherently selfish. If there really needed to be a choice... then that decision should be made by Ye Bai.

Lu Yu tidied her clothes and was about to get up.

Ye Bai caught her wrist, he whispered, "I don't like her!"

Lu You smiled faintly: “I believe!”

But they were all adults, and she also believed that Ye Bai had many constraints he couldn't help, and was kind-hearted... Gina was young, beautiful, and loved him wholeheartedly. As a man, his heart softened. Lu You understood this very well.

She whispered, "Ye Bai, take care of your own business first."

Ye Bai still held onto her hand.

At this moment, his phone rang again, this time it was Gina's father calling.

Ye Bai answered the phone.

When he answered the phone, although he didn't go out of the way to avoid it, he still walked to the window.

His back was long and lean, his frame perfect.

Lu You quietly looked for a while, then she got up and went out, leaving the space to Ye Bai... As she walked out and closed the door, she thought to herself, it wasn't that she had matured, but rather that she would no longer love someone as intensely and unconditionally as she did when she was young. It turned out that love could truly fade away.

Ye Bai talked with them for about five minutes.

Gina's condition has worsened. Gina's father hopes Ye Bai will go to visit her. Out of sympathy and obligation, Ye Bai should go and see her.

Ye Bai hung up the phone and turned around.

Where the sofa used to be, Lu You was gone, only her shawl remained.

Ye Bai walked over and stroked lightly.

Above, there was still the lingering warmth of their tenderness, but it felt lonely nonetheless.

Ye Bai found Lu You in the living room of his bedroom. The curtains were drawn, and only a dim light shone within... Lu You leaned against the sofa reading a novel. As he got closer, he realized it was "The Lost Paradise."

Ye Bai sat beside her, gently stroking her long hair.

Lu You's gaze remained fixed on the book, her voice barely a whisper: "You want to go, don't you"

Ye Bai didn't deny it.

He had to be honest with Lu You about this. He hesitated before speaking, "Because of her father, I have to go! Lu You...can you understand"

Lu You stared at the book.

But she didn't read a single word. She heard Ye Bai ask her if she understood, how could she understand

Only a woman can understand.

If she still loved him, she couldn't understand.

How could a woman hope that her man would be with another woman Whatever the reason, whatever the cause...

After a long time, Lu You gently closed the book.

She looked at Ye Bai and softly requested, "Can Lu Hui and I go with you You can introduce me to Gina's father as your wife."

Ye Bai's eyes darkened slightly.

He didn't say good, nor bad, but the answer was clear to Lu You.

It's inconvenient...

She and Lu Hui followed along, Ye Bai wasn't convenient, and Gina, that little princess, wasn't convenient to confess to Ye Bai either. Suddenly, Lu You felt it was absurd...but she always remained emotionally stable.

She didn't have a big fight with Ye Bai, and she didn't break up with him.

She just smiled faintly.

Even, her tone was very gentle as she said, "They must be in a hurry over there! Since you're already planning to go, just hurry back and pack your things! If no one can take care of Dodo, you can leave him with me."

Ye Bai looked at her.

Lu You is different from before, she is mature and generous, but not the way he remembered her.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "Just for a few days, I'll be back!"

Liuyu hummed, "I know!"

She rose to her feet, delicate white fingers helping him straighten his shirt buttons. Finally, she gazed at him: "Ye Bai, safe travels."

……

A few minutes later, Lu You stood on the balcony, watching Ye Bai get into the car.

He rolled down his window and looked up at her.

Lu You gave him a gentle, soft smile.

Ye Bai would never know, what she feared most was not his infidelity or marrying another woman...but the news of his death.

Having gone through such pain, she could smile and wave him goodbye.

Leave for other women.

Ye Bai didn't know that Lu You had gone to the airport when he boarded the plane, she saw the flight take off with her own eyes... She guarded for more than 10 hours without sleep, just for a safe landing.

Yè bái lì duì, dì yī xiāoxī gěi tā bào le píng'ān.

I'm here! Safe and sound!

Lu You looked at the message he sent, her fingers trailing over the words, staring for a long time...Xiao Luhui walked over, swinging her legs, and snuggled into her arms, babbling to Ye Bai.

In Xiaolu's heart, Ye Bai is daddy.

Lu You patiently told her that Ye Bai had gone out and would be back in a few days.

After coming back, I will make a new little Trojan horse for Xiao Luhui.

……

One day, two days, five days…

After the fifth day, Ye Bai disappeared without a trace. He would only occasionally call to say he couldn't come back for now. Lu You didn't ask him why he couldn't come back; she just told him to take care of himself.

A month later, Lu You felt that he might not be able to return.

It's not coming back to town.

But she couldn't return to his side, nor could she make a wooden horse for Xiao Luhui. She looked at the dog Ye Bai left behind and pondered how to deal with it.

That Labrador was lying on the ground, its two eyes rolling.

Lu You gently stroked its head.

Ye Bai's secretary often came, and would have Lu You sign some documents, saying it was Ye Zong's meaning.

Lu You took care of it for him.

But she didn't wait for Ye Bai any longer. She began a new life, socializing and attending banquets...making new friends. She even attended Xu Zhanrou's wedding.

At the wedding, she saw Zhang Baiyan with his fiancee.

They look great together.

The other party seemed to know her identity, their gaze lingering on her for too long. Lu You met their gaze calmly… She didn't stay for too long, only half an hour before she prepared to leave early.

Before she left, she went to the restroom.

When she came out, she found Zhang Baiyan leaning against the door of the washroom, as if waiting for her. still followed his advice.After she left, Huo Yunsi looked at Si Wenli and spoke softly: "..."About five minutes later, Huo Yunshi got in the car.Anran peered through the window and saw Si Wenli walk...
