Chapter 257 - 256, The First Heartbeat
Xu Liping watched unblinkingly as Lu Hanmo jumped down from the upper bunk.
His valiant posture, his resolute and chiseled handsome features, as well as the serious and intensely ascetic Guard uniform he wore, all tightly gripped her attention, causing her heart to beat violently. He was different from any man she had met before; he was the first man to ever make her heart race.
Seeing Lu Hanmo greet Luo Shu, Xu Liping frowned with displeasure. Her sister was right; she indeed was a fox spirit who knew how to seduce men.
"Hello, I don’t know where the hot water room is, I’ll go with you," Xu Liping said. With her looks, she didn’t believe he could resist her after a few more days together.
Lu Hanmo did not respond to Xu Liping and started walking outside.
Xu Liping hurriedly followed, "Wait for me!"
Luo Shu shook her head with a smile and picked up a magazine to read. She wasn’t worried about the unexpected romantic advances; if she didn’t even have that much trust in Lu Hanmo, there was no need for them to be together.
Xu Lisha withdrew her gaze and glanced at Luo Shu on the upper bunk before sitting down on her bed. The trip back home with Wang Zhiyong had been exhausting. What depressed her most was the poverty in Wang Zhiyong’s family, which was beyond her imagination.
Two large thatched huts, seven or eight people crammed together. Eating salty vegetables and watery porridge every day, she went to bed hungry nightly. That was bearable, but the fact that his family expected her to work, despite being pregnant, was not.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she and her sister, both girls, did not dare to travel back alone, she would have left on her first day at Wang Zhiyong’s home. Had she known the conditions at Wang Zhiyong’s place, she never would have married him. But now, it was too late for regrets; she was already pregnant with his child and couldn’t possibly divorce him now.
