Pampering Husband And Sweet Wife
Chapter 74 Love at First Look

Lu Zhanke took out his phone and showed it to Ai Changhuan. Before, there was no decoration on it. However, right now, a pendant that looked very childish was hanging there. This was what Ai Changhuan had seen before.

Lu wiggled his phone and said, "I bought it when I saw it."

He did not mention that it was actually a pair, but Ai Changhuan knew. He just smiled and said, "It looks funny." He didn't ask for anything else.

A smile appeared in the corner of Lu Zhanke's mouth. They went to a place that sold snacks and picked some delicious dried fruit.

Lu took one and put it in Ai Changhuan's mouth to taste it. "What about this one? Is this as delicious as the one you ate yesterday?”

Sweet and sour taste conquers every corner of the mouth, like love pinned with sweet and sour taste.

Ai Chang laughed. “Enak, same as yesterday.”

"Then we'll buy more." They picked some other dried fruit. After paying, they walked out with full hands.

Originally, they had intended to go straight back, but Lu Zhanke brought Ai Changhuan over to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Ai Changhuan knew what he wanted to do, but he was a little afraid to look at it. He lowered his head violently, holding back a burst of tears.

Lu Zhanke stuffed the cigarette into Ai Changhuan's pocket. “Although we are married, I still want to give it a try. Suppose we've never met each other before. What's gonna happen? I think I'll still fall in love with you at first sight and give you my cigarette. So, what about you? What's your answer?”

Ai Changhuan looked up. Even though she did not cry, her eyes were already red. He did not know if Lu Zhanke was doing this because he already knew he had decided to leave and tried to keep him. But at this moment, his heart was filled with sorrow.

The decision was very painful for him!

He blinked and said with great difficulty, “Didn't you just say it? Wrap with a scarf. I don't have a shawl. I have to buy one.”

Saying that, he went to buy a shawl.

In fact, Lu Zhanke already knew that he had decided to leave.

In the morning when Ai Changhuan and Du Yucheng were talking in the bamboo forest, Lu Zhanke saw him. As Ai Changhuan turned to smile at Du Yu, he understood that he had decided to leave.

Now, instead of stopping her, he chose to let her go. Regardless of how disappointed she was, she did not want Ai Changhuan to hate her. As a result, the words hidden in his heart became an unspeakable secret, like a pair of pendants that they both knew, but no one took the initiative to tell the truth.

Now, Ai Changhuan finally said that she was going to leave.

But Lu Zhanke could only pretend not to know about it. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be here waiting for you, waiting for your answer."

But he had to admit that there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe Ai Changhuan will come back. Maybe he won't just leave like this.

But Ai Changhuan only hesitated once, giving him all the items in his hands, on his tiptoes, and hugging him tightly.

"Lu Zhanke ..." Thousands of words flowed into his heart, but he could not say anything.

Ai Changhuan resisted the urge to cry, his entire body trembling.

Lu Zhanke wanted to hug her back, but he could only hold back. She was afraid that with this hug, she would be reluctant to let go.

"I'm going." Ai Changhuan stared at his toes, his skinny shoulders looked extremely pitiful.

“...Alright,” whispered Lu Zhanke with an invisible vibration in his voice, which was a heartbroken voice.

Ai Changhuan did not move, as if he was hesitating. But when Lu Zhanke thought he changed his mind, he turned around and left. His back was so determined and cold that he walked without looking back.

Lu Zhanke chased after a few steps, but he stopped again. It was more difficult than any decision he made, and it consumed almost all of his energy to resist the urge to chase after him.

Ai Changhuan intended to turn around a few times, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make up his mind, so he could only leave with his head buried.

When Ai walked on the street corner and could no longer see Lu Zhanke, she leaned against the wall and could not help but cry.

He knew he was very sorry to leave her. However, if he said that he was going to leave, which he could not even say, farewell would be the most cruel option.

"Lu Zhanke, I'm sorry ..."

There were people watching her, but Ai Changhuan did not care about her embarrassment. She was crying, her face full of tears.

In the distance, a tall figure walked slowly, and he finally stood in front of Ai Changhuan, leaving a shadow under his feet.

Ai Changhuan suddenly looked up, but what he saw was Du Yucheng.

Du Yucheng looked at him silently, staring at the tears on his face, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to ask, “Ai Changhuan, do you have such deep feelings towards Lu Zhanke? Why do you care so much about him ……? ”

Seeing that the person in front of him was not Lu, Ai Changhuan felt frustrated for a moment, but then he felt that he was lucky. If Lu chased after, he would not be able to leave.

He turned his face away and wiped away his tears even though his eyes were still red and swollen. He blinked and asked, "Are you ready?"

Du Yucheng replied, “I'm ready. Let's go."

Hearing his request, Du Yucheng was initially dumbfounded. He doesn't understand. Now that Ai Changhuan had chosen the latter between Qin Zhan and Lu Zhanke, why did he leave?

Ai Changhuan said with a smile that it was time to leave. As for the reason, he said that he could not forget Qin Zhan, and he could not regard the past as if it had never existed. He still has to go back and find her.

As he heard Ai Changhuan's reply, Du Yucheng's heart flashed with ecstasy. He even thought, maybe one day, when all things could be resolved, it was possible that he and Ai Changhuan were still together.

But seeing Ai Changhuan's tears, he was now very unsure.

"Let's go," said Ai Changhuan, wiping her tears and getting up.

Du Yucheng glanced at the end of the road and faintly saw a tall figure still standing there.

He threw his face away and said, "OK."

The two of them walked forward one after another, and Ai Changhuan's steps were a bit empty, and he nearly fell down a few times.

It seemed like someone was shouting his name behind him. His eyes were red again, but he did not dare to look back. He could only move faster and faster.

Du Yucheng had already found a car that could send Ai Changhuan straight to the train station. Du Yucheng was still a little worried and said, “How about I send you there. I can come back once you get to the train station.”

Ai Changhuan shook his head. "No, if you disappear with me, they'll start to hesitate." And Lu Zhanke would think that he and Du Yucheng eloped. He was already very sorry for her, and he could no longer hurt her like this.

Du Yucheng seemed to understand his worries, so he did not beg anymore. “I'll wait until you leave.”

"No. I don't want to say goodbye." Ai Changhuan smiled reluctantly. “Just say goodbye here. I'll close my eyes, and then you'll go.”

He insisted not to say goodbye. Even if he was worried, Du Yucheng could only send him here. Looking at Ai Changhuan who had closed her eyes, she said, “I don't know when we will meet again. Maybe in a year or two, or maybe we won't meet each other for the rest of our lives.”

The reason why Ai Changhuan insisted on not letting Du Yucheng send him was because he would not be able to cry when he left at such a farewell. However, when he heard Du Yucheng say that his departure was a lifetime, tears still flowed out of control.

Maybe he and Lu Zhanke won't meet again.

Du Yucheng left, the car lit up, and everything here was gradually abandoned, including ... Lu Zhanke, who was waiting at the corner of the road.

Ai Changhuan did not want to cry, biting her lips hard, telling herself not to cry anymore and again. However, her cheeks were repeatedly wet with tears.

He felt sorry for Lu Zhanke. He just wished he could forget about it and start a new one.

He had not expected that the day of farewell would come so quickly. He had planned to leave in a few days, but what happened in these two days shattered all balance. He could not calmly face Lu, and he became even more guilty when he thought of Qin Zhan.

If he had to say the reason, it wasn't because of love, but because he and Lu were late to meet.

Du Yucheng returned to the tower to watch the match. Pei Mu and Yang Anxin were still waiting there. When Du Yucheng returned, Pei Mu asked casually, "Why did you leave for so long?"

Not long after Lu Zhanke and Ai Changhuan left, Du Yucheng said that he was going to go to the bathroom, but he needed a lot of time.

Du Yucheng sat down and did not say anything.

Yang Anxin glanced at the door and smiled. “Why has the couple not returned? Could it be a secret date?”

Pei Mu also laughed. “Maybe they both have a lot to say, and they will be back after finished talking.”

Du Yucheng raised his eyes and said firmly, "Changhuan will not return. He's gone."

"What?" Yang Anxin could not believe what he heard. "Where did he go?"

“Back to town A.”

"Why? What because yesterday?” Yang Anxin glanced at Ouyang Zhenzhen, a clear reproach in his eyes.

Ouyang was very happy. "He left? Really true?"

So, would he have the chance to hang out with Lu alone? That's still a little interesting to think about.

Seeing Ouyang's excited expression spread from the inside out, Yang Anxin frowned. “How about Lu? Does he know Changhuan has left?”

Du Yucheng recalled the figure watching them from the street corner and said, “Maybe he knows. Maybe he doesn't know.”

Why did he answer like this? Yang Anxin was not interested in continuing to watch the match. He turned to Pei Mu and said, "Call Lu Zhanke and ask where he is."

Pei Mu nodded and went outside to call because inside was crowded and noisy.

Ouyang raised his eyebrows proudly as if he was going to be Lu's wife. "Oh, Changhuan, he must have been angry because of yesterday." He could make Ai Changhuan so angry that Ai even decided to leave, so the injuries she suffered yesterday were not in vain.
