The Adonis Next Door: 100 Days of Forced Love-Chapter 898 Love Is Not about Possessing but Giving Your Blessings 18

The sun became increasingly bright, blurring out his expression as it shined upon his face. Lu Bancheng didn’t know how long he had stood there, but eventually, he was jolted back to his senses by his cell phone vibrating incessantly in his pocket.

He did not take his phone out, instead, quietly walked down a flight of stairs to get to his car. He opened the door and got in. After starting the engine, he slowly navigated his way to the main road and set off on his way.

Goodbye... It’s truly goodbye forever. From now on, I will never appear in your world again. I will merely be a nightmare from your past. But to me, you will always be the most gorgeous, brilliant, and magnificent person in my life. Since having realized that, I simply don’t know what to do with you after I’ve watched you suffer so much. My heart only aches when I can’t give in and treat you better. At the very least, I don’t need to lie to myself about hating you after you aborted my child. Neither do I need to look for other women to flaunt intentionally before you, out of my petty attempts to see even the slightest bit of jealousy in you.

Although I chose to leave your world, I am, minimally, a willing party. I have a clear conscience, and I will gladly endure the hardship. From today onward, my loving you will only be my own private affair.

Lu Bancheng drove slowly as he aimlessly circled the bustling city. His phone continued vibrating in his pocket, but he already knew that it was his secretary wanting to urge him to return to the office to settle more business matters. Right now, though, he didn’t want to do anything other than roam around aimlessly to stave off a depression.

He didn’t stop cruising until it had become dark. He parked his car at the curb, turned it off, and then gazed at the beautiful night view through the windshield and spaced out for a moment before he finally took out his phone, now with a dead battery after all the incoming calls.

Lu Bancheng connected it to a power source and waited for a few minutes. The phone turned on automatically and, after he entered his password, he mindlessly read through all his call and message notifications. Eventually, as if supernatural forces were at work, he opened the game and saw immediately that Xu Wennuan was online. In the past, he had always bothered her at the first opportunity that he could whenever he saw that she was online, but today he was overcome with sadness the moment he saw her. Subconsciously, he wanted to exit the game, but a message from her popped up on his screen. “You’re online!” ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Lu Bancheng didn’t reply and, after a while, she sent him another message. “I’m really grateful to you for helping me with my father’s issues. He’s feeling much better now. If it wasn’t for you, I can’t imagine what could have happened.”

Whenever they had chatted in the game in the past, they had asked anything too personal about on another, but two days after Xu Wennuan sent that message, she sent him another one. “By the way, Zero, where are you from?” 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Lu Bancheng thought about it for a moment and he eventually chose to tell Xu Wennuan a lie. “Shanghai,””Zero Degrees” responded.

“Oh, that’s where my university is!”

Before Lu Bancheng could reply, she sent him another message. “Zero, let’s chat later tonight. I have an appointment with a client, and he’s here now. I need to go offline.”

As he was reading her message, her profile picture went dark.

Of course... She borrowed $8000,000 from Xiao’ai. She must have spent a fortune on her father’s illness, so she must be trying out every trick in the book to win over clients.

But the psychiatrist had told him that frequent contact with men would deeply affect her overall condition.
