Chapter 139: The Day He Left

Xu Chaomu could find no more excuses, yet she felt it was somewhat unfair to Lou Yanli.

After all, she had liked someone, once filling her heart to the brim with thoughts of that person...

But then again, she thought, Shen Chi was about to get married; he didn't want her anymore, and she didn't want him either. Was she really supposed to remain an old maid forever?

It was just that emotional hurdle within her heart that seemed insurmountable.

"Chaomu, please agree," Lou Yanli saw the hesitation in her eyes, unsure of what she was wavering over.

Perhaps it was about her brother?

Lou Yanli had not missed the headline in the newspaper. When he saw it, he was taken aback for a moment—wasn't that Xu Chaomu's brother?

Normally, Xu Chaomu would tell others her brother worked moving bricks on a construction site. But Lou Yanli wasn't so easily fooled; he had personally seen Xu Chaomu's brother driving a Maybach.

That certainly wasn't a car just anyone could afford.
