Lu Zhengyu’s dark eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at him .
“She hopes you can live well . ”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengyu curved his lips into an ugly smile . “Is that possible?”
As he hadn’t spoken for a long time, his voice was extremely hoarse .
Lu Zhanbei said, “I don’t care if it’s possible or not . I have already promised her . Thus, you cannot die . ”
Lu Zhengyu didn’t say anything and continued to immerse himself in his own world .
Changing his perspective, Lu Zhanbei could understand his mood . “Old man, if a person isn’t afraid of death, would he or she be afraid of living? Madam Yu is already dead . You have to accept it . If you really love her, you should try your best to accomplish her last wishes . If not, she will not die in peace . ”
Lu Zhengyu’s body trembled . He looked up, his eyes moist .
“I have always wanted to marry her . That is the target I have been persevering for . Now that the target’s gone, I really think it’s a torment to live . ”
Under the gloom of the setting sun, the white hair between his eyebrows was particularly glaring .
In a single day, he’d grown older by a lot .
This king, who was standing at the peak of the list of powers in Xia country, had completely lost all his ambitions . He even lost the motivation to live .
Lu Zhanbei turned his gaze away and looked at the sun that was gradually sinking .
“This is the last thing you can do for her . Don’t disappoint her . ”
Lu Zhengyu covered his face with both hands, and his shoulders moved slightly . His broken voice could be heard through the gaps between his fingers . “I regret it . Why didn’t I listen to her when she persuaded me again and again? If I had listened to her then… we would definitely be living very happily now… I have caused her death . If I had known there would be such a day, I’d much rather that she never appeared in my life… I was wrong…”
It wasn’t a good thing to be too stubborn at times .
A trace of fluctuation flashed past Lu Zhanbei’s calm eyes . Why was it that one only learned how to cherish something after losing it?
“Have a good think . I’ll get going first . ”
Lu Zhengyu maintained his posture of covering his face . After an unknown period of time, he knelt both knees on the ground . He hugged his head and let out a pitiful low roar .
“Ah…”
This roar contained a lot of sorrow .
He was like an arrogant wolf king who had lost its partner . There were desperation and unwillingness, and he was full of remorse and hatred .
It was Yu Yun’s funeral two days later . It was drizzling, and this made the atmosphere more suppressive .
Lu Zhengyu buried Yu Yun at the Lu family’s ancestral grave . The words that were carved on the tombstone indicated that she was Lu Zhengyu’s wife .
However, this was just a grave that contained the deceased’s belongings .
Lu Zhengyu held Yu Yun’s ashes in his hands and stood in front of the grave . He didn’t move for a very long time .
Lin Wanwan was dressed in black . Her eyes were red and swollen . Lu Zhanbei held up a black umbrella and sheltered both of them .
Lin Wanwan rubbed her sore eyes only when it was twilight and the rain had stopped . “Let’s go . ”
Regardless of how sad she was, she had to accept the truth .
“Yes . ”
The moment the two of them turned around, Lu Zhengyu’s deep voice could be heard .
“I’m leaving . ”
Lu Zhanbei turned his head . “Where to?”
Lu Zhengyu shook his head expressionlessly . His eyes were like dead water . Not a trace of ripple could be seen .
“I don’t know either . Besides reuniting with Lin Wanwan, Ah Yun’s biggest wish before her death was to travel around the world and look at all the beautiful scenery . I’m going to complete this wish for her . I’ll hand over the Lu family to you . It’s up to you if you want to make it brilliant or a failure . ”
“Ok . ”
Lu Zhanbei held Lin Wanwan’s hand . They turned around and left .
When they stepped down the stairs, Lin Wanwan could not help but look back .
Lu Zhengyu’s back, which was always straight, curved slightly . There was a large amount of silver-white in his hair .
He hugged the ashes tightly in his arms and rubbed them lightly . “Don’t worry . After I’ve completed your wish, I’ll find you immediately . Wait for me . ”
