“If I wanted to marry just for the sake of marrying, I would have gotten married a long time ago . Why would I have waited until I’m 30? You won’t have been able to meet me . Even if you met me, I would be a married man . Then at that point, it would probably be like the situation you described . I love you but I can’t have you, leaving regrets in both of our hearts .
“I won’t betray my marriage, and you won’t stoop to the level of ruining another person’s marriage . You said it just now—perhaps I will meet someone better and will regret it . But I can tell you now that to me, you are the best . I will regret it only if I didn’t meet you . If I had met you at the wrong time, I would have regretted it even more,” Han Zhuoli said and smiled .
“It is precisely to avoid this kind of regret that I kept insisting not to get married until I met that person . I met you now . If you hadn’t appeared, I would not have been able to meet the person who could move my heart next time . Then I would probably not have gotten married, even if I’d have had to spend the rest of my life alone . ” Han Zhuoli lightly pinched Lu Man’s nose and said, “I’m not an easygoing person . ”
Lu Man remembered that in her previous life, he was still single at 38 years old . It was probably because he’d never met someone whom he liked, that was why he would rather remain single .
Or else, given Han Zhuoli’s temper, if he had a girlfriend, he would surely not have kept it a secret .
In her case, it was because he thought of her career that he did not publicize their relationship for so long . In reality, he’d had a hard time bearing with it .
Whoever it was that Han Zhuoli liked, he would definitely have publicized their relationship . He was the kind who would throw “dog food”[1] everywhere and let the whole world know he was in love .
Lu Man felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head as she blushed and said, “I’m just saying nonsense . ”
“No, you’re not . ” Han Zhuoli did not think so . He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her nose . “It’s because you care, that’s why you would think too much .
“I don’t know why you are so insecure today . It doesn’t seem to be entirely because of Lu Qi either . ” Although, it did seem like Lu Man only reacted so strangely after Lu Qi’s incident today was mentioned .
Lu Man had been very confident all along .
No matter what happened, she always seemed to hold the pearl of wisdom .
He admired her a lot, but this made him feel as if he was not very useful occasionally .
He still very much enjoyed having her rely on him like this right now .
It was just that he could not bear for Lu Man to feel so anxious .
“But no matter what you are worried about, I can promise you that your worries will not come true . ” Han Zhuoli hugged Lu Man in his arms, in a position that looked like he was trying to coax a child to sleep .
The two of them were not separated by any layer of clothing . They were completely intimate and enclosed in each other’s arms .
Even so, Han Zhuoli did not have any other thoughts on his mind right now, not even a hint of naughtiness . He just hugged her in an especially peaceful manner .
To give her a sense of security .
Warm water surrounded their bodies, and with Han Zhuoli hugging her firmly and securely, Lu Man’s heart finally felt secure .
Han Zhuoli lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead . He then looked for her nose and kissed it lightly, before landing one on her lips .
There was not a hint of any other meaning behind it . He simply wanted to make her feel secure and comfort her .
Light kisses rained on her lips, nose, forehead, the space between her eyebrows, her eyes, as well as the spaces beneath her eyes .
Only when Lu Man felt her whole face filled with Han Zhuoli’s breath did she hug Han Zhuoli around the neck and nest her head in its crook . She rested there comfortably, not wanting to let her thoughts run wild again .
Han Zhuoli said, “I will always, always be with you . I won’t ever regret this in this life . If I ever feel a tiny bit of regret in my heart, I will also have betrayed you . ”
