Chapter 963: 99 times was to keep him, and the 100th time was to give up (1)
He Tiantian:”…”
Jiang Yue:”…”
Alright, they were the ones who asked the question earlier.
..
Around five o’clock, everyone split up.!!
Shi Yao was picked up by Lin Jiage, and he tiantian and Jiang Yue had an appointment to watch a movie together with Huang Nian and Liang Jiusi.
Leng Nuan stood at the entrance of G University. After sending them off, she picked up her phone once more and made a call to Lu Benlai.
Just like every other call she had made recently, there was still no one picking up.
If one were to think about it carefully, it should have been almost a month… over the past month, she had called Lu Benlai almost every day, but he had never picked up. She had also sent him a message, but he had never replied to her either.
It seemed that it had been like this since the day they had finished visiting the Forbidden City..
Perhaps on the day they visited the Forbidden City, he had adopted the mentality of never seeing her again. It was because he had performed so well that day that she had thought that she was overthinking things..
As no one picked up, Leng Nuan took her phone down from her ear.
This was the ninety-ninth time she had called him in this month..
She wasn’t sure if she still remembered the story she told him. There was a couple who had a falling out. Every night, the boy would come downstairs to coax the girl. He had been there for ninety-nine days. The girl thought that as long as the boy came back tomorrow.., she would be with him again. On the hundredth night, the boy came, but when the girl ran downstairs, the boy told the girl that it was over.
Leng Nuan stared at Lu Benlai’s phone number for a long time. For the 100th time, she did not make the call.
Because she knew very well in her heart that 99 times was to keep him, and the 100th time was to give up.
She did not want to give up… even though her woman’s intuition told her that Lu Benlai probably did not want her anymore, even though she did not know the reason.
Leng Nuan stood at the gate of Gate G for a long time before walking to the bus stop by the roadside.
She got on a random bus and strolled aimlessly along the streets of Beijing. She did not know how long she strolled, then she got off the bus and walked along the streets. Only when she finally stopped did she realize that.., she had fallen downstairs of Lu Benlai’s company.
She raised her head and counted floor after floor, then landed on the floor where Lu Benlai was.
The lights were all on. It was probably because everyone was still at work.
Leng Nuan hesitated for a moment, but she still stepped in.
The receptionist recognized her. When she saw her, she immediately stood up and greeted her with the same smile as before, “Miss Leng…”
Before Leng Nuan could speak, the receptionist continued, “Are you here to see CEO Lu? Unfortunately, CEO Lu is away on business and is not in the company…”
After a pause, the receptionist asked again,”… Miss Leng, do you still want to go into the company to take a look?”
Leng Nuan shook her head and smiled back. Then, she said, “No need.”Then, she turned around and left.
After exiting the office building, she did not walk far. Instead, she found a random lounge chair by the roadside and sat down.
She stared at the passing cars in front of her and kept counting… from 1 to 1087, Leng Nuan stood up. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Lu Benlai walk out of the office building..
Lu Benlai did not see her. With the escort of the driver, he bent down and got into the car. Then, the car started and disappeared into the traffic.
Leng Nuan stared blankly at the place where Lu Benlai had just gotten into the car. After looking for a long time, she suddenly lowered her head and smiled.
