Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 35 Still Love
“I do want to have something to be confident about.” Wei Qingsong shook his head with a wry smile. “But six years have passed, and I’m not sure how much I still matter to him.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, and gave a bright smile.

"However, he finally stopped treating me like a stranger with a cold face. Although his attitude was still distant and indifferent, the fact that he was willing to talk to me was a leap forward."

Shen Fu gently tapped the table, a smile appearing on her face: "That's more like what you say, Songsong."

Hearing her address, Wei Qingsong smiled even more brightly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Fu's temperament is like a gust of wind, unpredictable. Her love and hate come suddenly, and she can also forgive and let go quickly. In her heart, freedom is more important than love and hate.

She looked intently at Wei Qingsong, her expression enigmatic: "However, how could you doubt Lu Jingming's love for you? There will never be anyone like him in this world again."

These were Shen Fu's heartfelt words. Although she disliked Lu Jingming and thought he was too aloof, this concerned her friend's happiness, and she felt it was necessary to mediate between them.

Missing it once is enough; missing it a second time would make the world lose its luster.

Wei Qingsong seemed to realize something, and said with a pursed lip, "Perhaps it was before, but now, we're all like this."

"So what? You're not married and he's not married, isn't that perfect?" Shen Fu scoffed lightly, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"He might still be resentful of me. During the time I've been back, he's been lukewarm towards me, neither close nor distant. I can't figure out what he's thinking."

After returning to China, facing Lu Jingming's cold treatment and Lu Jinghuan's resentment, Wei Qingsong could only bear it all alone and slowly digest it.

Now that I can confide my troubles to others, much of the pent-up frustration has dissipated.

“Resent you? Who told you to leave without a word and then come back without saying anything? Perhaps you have something you can’t say, but Lu Jingming doesn’t know. It’s understandable that he resents and hates you, but resentment and hatred are not the key. The key is that Lu Jingming still loves you.”

Shen Fu's own love life is a mess, but she can preach to others with great authority.

Wei Qingsong's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously gripped the cold coffee cup in her hands, her voice deep and heavy: "Will he... still love me?"

She always appeared nonchalant, putting aside her pride and dignity, desperately wanting to embrace him again, but deep down, she feared that the two of them could never go back to the way things were.

"I can't even be bothered to talk to you. You're so lifeless, just looking at you makes me angry." Shen Fu slammed her hand on the table with exasperation and said in a coquettish voice, "If he didn't love you, would he have remained chaste for you and rejected all the other women around him? If he didn't love you, would he have allowed you to get close to him again? Do you think Lu Jingming is some kind of masochist who would keep a woman who had cruelly abandoned him under his nose?"

It is said that those in authority are confused, but onlookers know clearly.

As an observer, Shen Fu indeed saw things more clearly than anyone else.

Looking at Wei Qingsong, who was lost in thought, she sighed: "Lu Jingming is a proud man. He's not competing with you, but with himself. You two should both be more patient with each other."

Fireworks seemed to explode in my mind, and brilliant sparks joyfully darted through the cracks into my dusty heart.

Wei Qingsong repeatedly recalled every moment since returning to China.

Yes, if Lu Jingming really didn't want to see her, he had a million ways to keep her away. He was never someone who could be manipulated by others.

Because of that past, she unconsciously began to feel inferior, thinking that she could no longer stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but it turned out that she was just worrying unnecessarily.

Shen Fu leisurely sipped her macchiato, watching the light in her eyes gradually brighten.

“If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t sat down and had a proper chat with him yet, have you? Like us, let’s give it a try, give him a chance, and give ourselves a chance too. Whether it’s a deep affection but a shallow fate, or a shallow affection but a deep fate, we’ll only know by trying.” Wei Qingsong carefully pondered her words, savoring each one repeatedly.

After a long silence, she smiled faintly, her spirits more relaxed than ever before: "I understand now. I've been overthinking things. Thank you, Afu."

"No way, I can't accept your thanks. It's just that you're so devoted to Officer Lu. As for me, I'm just an ordinary person who can be thrown into any corner and forgotten in the blink of an eye. So I have to make myself feel relevant."

Although Shen Fu's words were somewhat sarcastic, her eyes held a long-lost smile.

She knew Wei Qingsong earlier than Lu Jingming did.

Lu Jingming never gave up waiting, and neither did she. As long as she came back, all the complaints would dissipate in the wind and be buried along with the past.

Cherish the present and value the moment.

Since getting engaged, she has come to understand this principle more and more.

With a solemn expression, Wei Qingsong raised his glass to Shen Fu in a proper manner: "Thank you for forgiving me."

Shen Fu curled her lips and leaned back with a look of disgust: "Come on, I'm ashamed. Actually, after you left, I subtly asked my father, but he only vaguely said that something had happened to you and told me not to ask about your whereabouts anymore. At that time, I thought that perhaps you had no choice but to leave."

She paused, looked up at her, and asked with concern, "Songsong, how have you been these past years?"

Such an ordinary greeting brought tears to Wei Qingsong's eyes.

Returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar place, those who were once close to her all felt that she had been irresponsible in leaving, and that it was all her fault. They questioned her and complained about her.

Shen Fu was the first person to ask her how she was doing.

Looking at Wei Qingsong's expression, Shen Fu clicked her tongue and said, "Fine, seeing you like this, I already know the answer in my heart."

Everyone in this world has their own suffering.

Lu Jingming's six years of waiting were bitter, but Wei Qingsong's wandering in a foreign land was no less bitter.

With emotions churning like waves, Wei Qingsong took a long time to calm down before smiling faintly and saying, "Actually, I'm really okay. At least my loving parents are by my side. Even when I was most helpless, there were still people willing to believe in me."

At that time, in order to protect Yan Zhi, Bai Liwan pinned all the blame on her, while Wei Sihua and Yun Peilan, unaware that she had been hypnotized, still firmly chose to believe her.

She never imagined that people with the same blood as her could be so cold-blooded and cruel. On the contrary, her adoptive parents, who were not related by blood, were willing to offend the powerful Bai Liwan in order to overturn her case.

Just when she had almost given up hope of being exonerated, she met her mentor again, who proved her innocence.

She has seen the coldest and most treacherous hearts, but she has also received the warmest and most ardent kindness.

Wei Qingsong smiled with genuine relief: "Let's not talk about my affairs, there's nothing to say. Let's talk about you, why are you suddenly getting married?"

Shen Fu's face fell, and she muttered angrily, "What else could it be? It's a marriage between businessmen and politicians. My dad wants a promotion, and Wen Yu's dad wants to get rich. They hit it off immediately. They have no say in whether I want it or not."

Happy National Day! I saw some darlings wanted to add more chapters, but I went back to my hometown for a wedding today and tomorrow, haha. I have to say, today is a day of universal celebration. On my way back to my hometown, I saw four wedding processions.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a prosperous and strong motherland! I'll still be updating twice a day for the next two days as usual. If I have more free time after I get home the day after tomorrow, I'll consider adding more updates. Love you all! (*￣3￣)╭
