Gu Xiaoai was sitting on a chair. Li Juefeng's tall figure passed before her eyes, and a shadow enveloped her, blocking all the light...
Gu Xiaoai lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
The aura on his body was too strong for her to ignore.
The tray with dinner was placed on the table aside.
Li Juefeng stared at her condescendingly. Her face was paler than when she was in the hospital, and her eyes were fixed on the ground. Her sitting posture had not changed even after he walked in for so long.
"Be good and eat."
Li Juefeng stood in front of her and took out the porridge bowl. His voice was low and hoarse, but he had a strong sense of presence that could not be ignored.
"I'll eat it later."
Gu Xiaoai still said the same thing, her voice was very light and gravelly, her hands hugged her body with some force, her fingertips turned white, no matter how thick the coat was, it couldn't withstand the coldness of this winter...
"Bang--"
The porridge bowl was smashed to the ground in front of her and blossomed on the ground.
Gu Xiaoai's lips trembled and she raised her head stiffly.
Li Juefeng stood in front of her, staring straight at her with his eyes, his face completely stern, and his teeth clenched tightly.
He looked like he was going to hit her, but his eyes... were red.
Gu Xiaoai looked at him in shock.
The next second, Li Juefeng knelt down in front of her, knocking his knees on the cold ground.
…
Gu Xiaoai's heart was hit hard and she looked at him in disbelief.
His slender hand grabbed her cold hand without resistance and put it on his thin lips.
"I know I'm a bastard! I used to be a scum! I was a scum! I was a beast!"
Li Juefeng's red eyes stared at her face urgently, forcing words out of his lips, and breathed hot breath through her cold hands, "But no one informed me that I would meet you again, and I will pay him back."
~Mom is hopelessly in love with you!”
"..."
Gu Xiaoai looked down at his face blankly. He held her hand tightly and pressed it against his lips. His lips... were also trembling.
"My mother was a bastard before!" Li Juefeng roared hard, staring at her with red eyes, "I had no one to teach me, and my mother died when I was a teenager! I was taken back to the Li family.
I just want to get ahead, and I just want to be a person who doesn’t have to be humiliated by a dollar coin!”
"..."
Gu Xiaoai stared at him blankly, tears falling from her eyes and burning her cold face.
"I used to be a gangster and didn't know anything, so I spent the shortest possible time learning business, management, and languages! Because I want to be a superior person!"
Li Juefeng held her soft hand tightly with his five fingers, pressed his thin lips against her thin fingers and said forcefully, "Then I have everything! Career, women, money! I, Li Juefeng, have everything I want!"
"..."
The redness in his eyes made her heart throb and hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
"But when I have everything, I have no goals..."
Li Juefeng kissed her fingers vigorously, still kneeling upright in front of her, "The two years before I met you again were the most ridiculous and decadent times I lived! What?
I have done all kinds of dirty things, and for me at the time, it was exciting!"
Indulging in wealth and living in a state of confusion... this is the way to live in this upper class society.
When a person gets what he wants, he has lost himself...
"I understand that in your eyes, a bastard like me, a scumbag, would not be enough to die a thousand times or even ten thousand times..."
