Forsaken By Love

He Lixue's answer was obvious, and it made Lu Nanfeng's heart flutter. Just moments before, he had been unsure about what kind of relationship he wanted to have with He Lixue, but after blurting out his confession, he was certain of his feelings.

Although he could not guarantee what might happen in the future, he knew that for now, he would do anything for them to stay together. He also knew that he would not do anything to wrong her either.

He Lixue was also lightly apprehensive at the beginning, but now she just wanted to see what might happen. She was going to fight for their relationship, but if he did something to wrong her, she was not going to accept it silently either.

Lu Nanfeng and He Lixue were hugging one another tightly. Although they had just taken their relationship a step further, they did not feel embarrassed or ashamed.

The comfort of holding one another was making them feel at peace, and the time flowed while none of them said anything; they were just enjoying the closeness.

That night they laid on the bed together, hugging one another intimately, and chatting about life.

Lu Nanfeng told her about his father, who was always busy working when he was a child and did not have time to deal with him.

He told her about his mother, who always preferred to spend time together with Lin Xulian than him because she thought he was too taciturn and that he was too cold.

He told her about his previous relationship with Lin Xulian, and that she had cheated on him because he had refused to touch her.

He Lixue was silent and listened to him speak. Even when Lin Xulian was mentioned, she did not feel jealous, because she could feel his disgust towards the woman.

Although they had grown up together, she had taken all his mother's love away from him, and she had even cheated on him. It was clear that he would never like such a woman.

Now she was trying her best to get close to him and ask for forgiveness. It was utterly disgusting.

He Lixue could not tell him much about her own life. Although she had all the memories of the body, she was after all the He Lixue who had been living a life in the abyss.

Although she could not currently tell Lu Nanfeng about her real identity, it did not mean that she would not tell him in the future.

If she really ended up wanting to spend her whole life with Lu Nanfeng, then she would tell him everything, but right now was still too soon.

Although he liked her, who knew if he would send her to a mental hospital when hearing about her words. He might not trust her and think that she was lying to him. She could not risk her freedom just to tell Lu Nanfeng now.

The following morning, when He Lixue woke up, she found that she was lying in Lu Nanfeng's embrace. Her arms were pressing against his c.h.e.s.t; his arms were securely wrapped around her.

She did not feel embarrassed, as this was her boyfriend, but she did feel sweet in her heart.

She slowly climbed out of bed. She found some clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she finished, she hurried to cook some breakfast for herself and Lu Nanfeng.

When Lu Nanfeng woke up, he was first disorientated about where he was. But after feeling the warmth that still had yet to dissipate on the bed, his eyes softened, and he felt warm.

He Lixue was his girlfriend from now on, and the feeling made him feel happy and energetic. It was as if he was at the top of the world.

As he left the bed, a tantalizing scent wafted towards him; the scent clearly came from He Lixue cooking.

When he entered the kitchen, he saw that she was standing by the table, cooking steamed stuffed buns.

A smile flitted across his lips as he felt fortunate to have found such an amazing woman. She was indeed able to make his mood bright with the slightest movement.

Turning around, He Lixue saw that Lu Nanfeng was walking towards her, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face. "Go change your clothes and wash up," she said happily. "I am almost done cooking, so when you finish, you can come and eat before we head to work."

Lu Nanfeng nodded his head, went to her side, and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Wait for me," he gently said, his voice was low and hoarse after just waking up.

He Lixue felt her face heating up. Although she was not a shy person, she was not used to kissing. She had lived two lifetimes, and in neither of them had she gotten used to kissing anyone.

Seeing how her face reddened, Lu Nanfeng was intrigued, but he knew that he had to get changed. They had to get to work today. Although he wanted nothing more than a day where it was just him and her, he knew that he had a responsibility at work, he could not avoid it.

It was not only Lu Nanfeng who felt slightly regretful; He Lixue very much liked the feeling of being pampered. Usually, she had to fight for everything she ever needed, and while she had memories of being pampered by her body's parents, she had never actually experienced it.

Now such a great man was pampering as if she was his treasure. It was something she had never experienced before, and it was addictive and intoxicating. Even so, she refused to let him spoil her too much. She would not give up on her freedom and ability to rely on herself.
