Chapter 980: Won’t Go Back
The two of them had lost over twenty years already. In the past, they had the chance to talk about it, but they did not manage to use it. The two of them had been played by fate.
At this kind of time, he no longer wanted to miss anything already.
Although he was not forcing Xia Qingwei to instantly think it through and get over it, it was fine to keep staying by her side, right?
He did not want to waste time and did not want to leave her.
But no matter what she decides, as long as he was by her side, it was fine.
Xia Qingwei cried for quite a long while but could not manage to express all her bitterness and anger at fate playing with people.
But her emotions were already calmer.
She realized that Wang Juhuai was actually hugging her. Although Wang Juhuai was testing it, he did not dare to go too far.
But she was indeed in his arms.
After so long, she had already forgotten the feeling of being hugged in his embrace.
Over twenty years had passed, and the scent of his embrace had also changed.
When they were young, the scent on him was like the sun and the green grass, full of young and happy emotions.
But now, his body had a bit of a deep scent. It was even more stable and strong.
In his embrace, she was moved as she’d been before, but she also felt that it was even more stable and grounded.
Xia Qingwei almost fell into his embrace and did not want to come out.
Xia Qingwei moved about awkwardly, and Wang Juhuai hurriedly let go of her.
This was the first time they were reunited; he did not want her to think he was shameless.
“I lost myself.” Xia Qingwei hurriedly took a tissue to clean off the tears on her face and raised her head up, but she found that Wang Juhuai’s face also had traces of tears.
Xia Qingwei’s throat was dry and irritated, and she passed the tissue box to Wang Juhuai.
Wang Juhuai took it but did not use. He just used his palm to randomly rub his face.
“Xiao Xia, I’m serious. I know that you mind, but I don’t mind. You’ve been married before, but I was also married before. I don’t have kids, but you have Lu Man. It’s all thanks to her; she took such good care of you. Anyway, Lu Qiyuan doesn’t treat her as a daughter, but I can treat her as my biological daughter,” Wang Juhuai said.
Xia Qingwei smiled bitterly. “This is unfair for you.”
“What is there to feel unfair about? In the past, when I chose to marry Lin Jinshu, was it fair to you?” Wang Juhuai said. “In the past, I was an *sshole and did not manage to protect you properly. I even let you down. If we wanted to count the mistakes in detail, it’s that we couldn’t judge each other.”
Wang Juhuai held Xia Qingwei’s hands. “Anyway, we are already at this age. We’ve gotten past these twenty or so years. It’s alright, I can wait. We are both free now, and as long as I can stay by your side, it’s fine.”
Being able to be by her side, he was satisfied.
Xia Qingwei had yet to decide. There was really too much that happened today.
Even if the two of them had each other in their heart, they had been separated for over twenty years.
They were familiar yet foreign.
She already did not know how to interact with him.
Wang Juhuai did not force her too much and smiled gently at her.
No matter how long more she needed, as long as she was by his side, that would be the best thing.
He let go of Xia Qingwei’s hand and went to take out his phone.
Xia Qingwei let out a breath of relief, then she saw him calling someone.
Not long after, the other side picked up, and she heard Wang Juhuai call, “Xijin.”
It turned out it was a call to Han Xijin.
Xia Qingwei lowered her head, her concentration not high, her gaze staring at the steam coming up from the tea water.
“I want to buy a house in B City,” Wang Juhuai told Han Xijin.
Han Xijin raised an eyebrow in shock. “You just left our family house to go to our in-laws’ place, and you instantly want to buy a house here?”
Han Xijin was calling out “666” towards Wang Juhuai in his heart. “You won’t go back to America? You plan on staying here?”
