The Mysterious CEO and His Feisty Bride-Chapter 534 - 542: Let’s Go Back! (12)

"Now," mentioned by Lu Niange, Ling Momo’s expression became very pale. She casually averted her gaze and said, "So what?"

Lu Niange’s eyes lowered slightly, his lips moved, but he didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know if it was because of the girl’s indifferent "So what," or the effect of the alcohol he had consumed. He felt a burning pain in his throat. He had been miserable these past few days, repeatedly remembering their past, recalling the endless things she had told him with a smile. Back then, he thought she was such a silly girl. But now, he felt that the silly girl he loved dearly was gradually lost by him.

Lu Niange took another cigarette out of the pack, lit it, and took a deep breath. Then, licking his lips, he gazed at Ling Momo’s handsome profile as if weighing a heavy decision. Finally, he said, "Momo, let’s go back!"

Unable to help herself, Ling Momo chuckled twice, turned her head, and looked at Lu Niange without a word.

Lu Niange could see the slight scorn in the depths of Ling Momo’s eyes; it was so intense it seemed to tear his heart apart. He wished he could close his eyes and look away, but masochistically, he kept his gaze clear and innocent on Ling Momo. "Momo, let’s give each other one more chance. Let’s start over. I’ll divorce Jian Chenxi. Is that okay?"

The more Lu Niange spoke, the more he felt he was suffocating. By the end, his voice was trembling, "Momo, I’ve realized... I still love you. I know I was wrong..."

"I know I was wrong..."

Hearing this, Ling Momo blinked and then suddenly laughed.

Such a smile had no hatred or adoration, only indifference.

The indifferent smile pained Lu Niange deeply.

In a soft voice, Ling Momo said, "Lu Niange, stop being foolish... I don’t love you anymore."

She did not retort bitterly this time.

She wasn’t letting him off, but letting herself off.

Truly stepping out meant facing the most unforgettable past with the most peaceful mindset.

Hearing this, Lu Niange’s eyes instantly heated up. Watching Ling Momo, he felt an intense pain in his heart. He knew she hadn’t finished speaking, so he remained silent, patiently enduring the pain as he waited. Just as he suspected, she continued, "Mr. Lu, to be honest, a long time ago, I longed for you to say these words to me, and I gave you a chance. But you must understand that time waits for no one, and no one can keep waiting. I have changed, just like you have changed; we all have changed... And change means we can’t go back. What does it mean not to go back? It means the Ling Momo you knew is dead, the Lu Niange you knew is dead, and that love is dead too! So, Mr. Lu, even if I were the last person on earth, you wouldn’t come back to me anymore."

The more Lu Niange listened, the more panicked he became. He had finally mustered the courage to look back for her, but she had already moved on from their love.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his face, "Momo, I understand what you’re saying; I know it all, but... I, I can’t do it!"
