Chapter 872 - 853: Not Meant to Be Lovers
When Lu Li questioned Bai Lu whether only his death would grant her forgiveness, Bai Lu had long known the answer in her heart, but looking at this man’s face, she couldn’t bring herself to say such words.
There was a thorn in her heart that couldn’t be removed no matter what; Bai Lu clenched her hands into fists tightly, "Don’t push me."
Bai Lu looked up at Lu Li’s bloodshot eyes, thinking that he had lived poorly during her absence.
But, she was living poorly too. Does his suffering mean she should forgive the mistakes he made before?
She could forgive him once, but what if there was a second or third time?
Men, this kind of creature, is a habitual offender; once there’s a first time, surely there will be a second and third time.
To prevent those situations from occurring, Bai Lu would rather choose now to stop those possibilities from happening.
And the best way to prevent those occurrences is to completely sever ties with Lu Li.
"Lu Li, the days with you were happy, but life isn’t just about happiness; there are many hardships you can’t imagine, and also the daily grind. You have your ideal world; I have my small universe. Two people like us can’t stay together for long; eventually, there will be conflict." Bai Lu took a deep breath and said heartfelt words to Lu Li.
The two people calmed down, Lu Li released Bai Lu and looked at the girl who seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Or maybe, right from the start, Lu Li lived only in his ideal world, imagining Bai Lu to fit his ideals, shaping her into the person he wanted, so when Bai Lu went out to work and faced harassment, it shattered Lu Li’s imagined ideal world.
He was angry, furious, and vented all this anger onto Bai Lu.
But Bai Lu was a living person, unable to follow Lu Li’s ideas for every matter.
So, there was conflict between them; they argued, they broke up; they couldn’t truly be together.
"It’s not that only your death would forgive you; we don’t have such deep hatred. It’s just no longer suitable to be a couple."
No longer suitable to be a couple.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li closed his eyes slightly, trying hard to calm his emotions, "You really want to break up with me?"
"I’m sorry."
The operating room was very quiet; Bai Lu could hear her and Lu Li’s heartbeats, thumping.
Suddenly, Lu Li stepped forward, and Bai Lu instinctively moved back a step.
The panic flashing in her eyes felt like something tearing at Lu Li’s heart, causing a sharp pain.
She was afraid of him.
Lu Li suppressed the agitation in his heart and said to Bai Lu, "I’ll take you back."
"No need, I can take a taxi myself."
"I’ll take you back," Lu Li repeated his earlier statement, but the tone was lowered several degrees, carrying an irresistible threat.
Probably because Lu Li always showed an unknown side in front of Bai Lu, she overlooked the fact that this man was actually a person whose words were commands.
Whatever he said, others would treat as orders to be executed, but only Bai Lu never listened to him.
"Okay." Bai Lu knew that if she kept refusing, Lu Li would eventually make her get into his car to go back.
Instead of pointless struggling, it was better to go back quickly, and consider it as solving this troublesome issue.
Lu Li glanced at Bai Lu and walked out of the operating room first.
Bai Lu sighed lightly and followed Lu Li’s steps.
