<strong>Chapter 858: Chapter 573: If Only Life Were Like the First Meeting (Finale Part 2)</strong>
“I’m just afraid that before you even leave this hotel, you’ll be overwhelmed by Nanxi’s husband!” Zhang Mu teased.
After some more fussing, Liang Qiaoqiao reminded everyone that since Nanxi was pregnant, they should all step out to let Nanxi have some rest and not tire her out!
“Cousin, I’m fine!”
Nanxi was reluctant to see everyone go!
Liang Qiaoqiao said, “It’s not just about you saying you’re fine. For the sake of the child, you should take it easy. There will be plenty of times to get together in the future!”
Nanxi, left with no choice, agreed!
Yang Su and the others reluctantly bid farewell to Nanxi, saying they would see her at the weddingter. Nanxi nodded, “Alright, see you at the wedding!”
Li Weihuan didn’t leave. Liang Qiaoqiao nced at him, then said to the others, “Let’s step outside first!”
Everyone understood the signal and quickly left the resting room.
Yang Su was still a little worried, “Um, Weihuan won’t do anything irrational, right?”
“Then Xiaobai and I will stay here and keep an eye on him. If hees out, we’ll stop him!”
Bai Yuchuan nced at Zhang Mu, frowning, “Don’t worry! He won’t!”
“How do you know he won’t? Maybe he will!” Yang Su couldn’t help worrying.
“He won’t!” This time it was Yan Chenqing who spoke, “Weihuan isn’t the same person he used to be, just like we aren’t the same us we once were!”
For a moment, everyone fell silent!
Liang Qiaoqiao said, “Whether he will or not, Chenqing, you keep watch here. Groomsmen and bridesmaids, did you think you’re here to have fun? Now it’s time for you to do some real work, follow me…”
The groomsmen and bridesmaids: “…”
…
Inside the resting room.
Nanxi bit her lip, remaining silent.
Though everyone was making a lot of noise earlier, Li Weihuan had remained quiet, which made her feel a bit uneasy inside!
Actually, when everyone was together, it was fine, but facing Li Weihuan alone, she couldn’t quite figure out her feelings, always feeling a bit ufortable!
“You look beautiful today!”
Li Weihuan finally spoke, his voice calm.
“Ah?” Nanxi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “Thank you!”
“I always imagined what you’d look like in a wedding dress, always thought it would be beautiful, but reality proves you’re even more beautiful than I imagined!”
“…” Nanxi was at a loss for words, and finally just had to force another “Thank you!” out.
Li Weihuan gave a self-deprecating smile. The old Nanxi, although polite and well-mannered, was never this distant!
Really, things have changed!
Everything, everything has changed!
A small box was handed to Nanxi, making her notice the bag Li Weihuan had been holding all along!
She was slightly dazed, “What is this?”
“A gift!” Li Weihuan replied, “For you, a wedding gift!”
“…Oh!” Nanxi took the box and opened it, only to find a new phone inside, “This…”
“I heard you lost your phone, so I got you a new one!” Pausing for a moment, he said, “The phone you lost was the one I gave you back then, consider this a beginning and an end!”
“…Oh!”
“Try it outter, see if it fits your hand!”
“Okay!” Nanxi nodded, “Thank you, Weihuan!”
Li Weihuan’s eyes flickered; this was already the third “Thank you” she had said!
Nanxi opened the box, indeed finding a new phone inside, with a slightlyrger screen than before and a white case. It looked very pretty, suitable for girls!
Nanxi picked up the phone, nning to try it out—
“Nanxi!” Suddenly, Li Weihuan called out to her!
“Huh?” Nanxi was surprised, “What’s up?”
Li Weihuan pressed his lips together, then spoke, “Nanxi, can I… can I give you a hug?”
Nanxi: “…”
“As a friend’s hug!” Li Weihuan quickly exined, pausing, he asked, “We’re friends, right?”
“Of course!”
Nanxi ced the phone back on the table, stood up, with a smile on her lips!
Li Weihuan stepped forward, gently extended his arms, and lightly embraced Nanxi.
In that instant, he felt his heart ache once more, painfully, painfully, painfully, to the point where it was hard to breathe!
Nanxi, to this day, I still have to admit, there’s still a shadow of you in my heart, I still love you!
But I also know, no matter how much I can’t let go, I can no longer be impulsive, immature, and reckless! Having gone through so much, I’ve learned to slowly let go and surrender!
Just like how I’m giving up on you now!
In this world, there is a kind of love, which is letting you go!
Today, I want to say in my heart for thest time that I love you, thenpletely let you go, let you walk away!
In the future, I might fall in love with someone else, but that person will no longer be you!
Yes, I love you, but it ends today, at this moment, at this instant!
…
“Nanxi, happy marriage, I must go now! Goodbye…”
Li Weihuan whispered softly in Nanxi’s ear, then released her, turned around, and left!
Nanxi hardly had time to see his expression before she saw him swiftly open the door and step out!
“Bang—” the sound of the door closing echoed, and Nanxi stood there, suddenly at a loss!
She reached up, touched her neck, and just now, she felt something damp on her neck!
Was it an illusion?
Pressing her lips together, she sat back down, stayed still for a long time, then reached for the phone on the table and turned it on!
The phone was already on, and the screen was on a voice message, the icon showing was Li Weihuan’s avatar!
Nanxi’s eyes flickered, she pressed the y button—
“Nanxi, I’m sorry… I should have said this a long time ago, but Icked the courage, but this world has many things you can’t avoid, and the punishment you deserve will eventuallye!
Nanxi, haven’t you always wondered why I met you in Hong Kong back then? This phone has a memory card, and once you open the content on it, you’ll understand everything!”
Memory card?
Nanxi paused, hit the back button, then navigated to file management, opened it, and saw a folder named [Encounter of a Lifetime].
Curious, she clicked it, inside were segments of videos! The dates and times on them were marked as 2006…
Nanxi reached out and opened the first one: it started with a picture of a man’s beautiful finger, with sunlight softly illuminating it, making it semi-transparent. The video’s setting appeared to be shot from a balcony, and the distant scenery, it was… Hong Kong’s vi buildings!
Then, a gentle, pleasant voice of a man came through, “New DV camera, giving it a try~ cough, cough~ Hi, Nanxi, I’m Lu Yinchu, how are you?”
