Chapter 2688 - 2688 2708

2688 2708

more than six years ago, li haoze was captured by luo chenxi’s smile at first sight.

the eighteen-year-old luo chenxi was young and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with talent. she was filled with enthusiasm and was fearless toward this world.

that sweet smile was filled with sincerity, without a trace of gloominess.

in the past, luo chenxi had smiled at him in this manner countless times.

the smile on luo chenxi’s face had disappeared without her knowing.

she gradually grew up in the midst of rumors and gossip, and at the same time, she grew further and further away from him.

during their reunion in London, luo chenxi’s gaze toward him was as if she was looking at a stranger. it was cold and distant. in fact, she was trying to avoid him as much as she could.

such a gaze made li haoze feel uncomfortable all over.

however, at that time, he thought that he only found her an eyesore because he couldn’t bear to see the woman who had betrayed him living such a good life.

it was only then that he realized that he was just … unable to accept luo chenxi’s cold gaze.

he couldn’t accept it …

when she stood by mu yichen’s side, she revealed the same smile as she did six years ago.

that smile was so clear, so sweet, and full of dependence, as if the six long years and the ups and downs had never existed.

at the thought of this, li haoze’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of sharp needles. blood flowed freely and he was in so much pain that he could not speak.

if he had not believed tang daier’s lies, if he had trusted luo chenxi a little more … would the ending have been different?

if he had chosen to stand up and protect luo chenxi during her most difficult time when she was being deserted by her friends and family, would he have been the man who was able to stand by her side and show off their love on the runway today?

li haoze knew very well that there was no medicine for regret in this world. it would not do him any good to think about these things.

however, the more he tried to control himself from thinking about it, the more he couldn’t help but think back.

six years ago, luo chenxi held back her tears with all her might. the silhouette of her back when she turned around and left the royal academy of fine arts while dragging her luggage had become a shadow in his heart that could never be erased.

however, at this point, not only was he unable to regret it, he might not even have the chance to make up for it.

this was because luo chenxi had been injured and pushed into the sea by tang daiyuan earlier because of his negligence.

on the other hand, a coward like him did not even have the courage to jump down with luo chenxi at once.

if luo chenxi were to die, he … he truly had no idea what he could do to make up for the mistakes he had made over the years.

perhaps, jumping down with them would be the best ending for him …

li haoze sat on the sh.o.r.e in a daze, looking at the sea level from afar. he did not know how long he had been sitting there.

the scorching sun slowly set, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the entire sea in a blood-red color.

however, li haoze still sat on the spot without moving.

even tang daier’s hysterical screams when the bodyguards of the faires family escorted her away did not cause a change in his expression.

suddenly, li haoze shuddered and stood up from the ground.

several speedboats appeared on the sea and were rushing towards Q island at their fastest speed. because they were so fast, the waves at the stern formed a long white mark.

he recognized at a glance that these boats were the backup boats on Q island. at the same time, they were also the first batch of boats sent out to search and rescue!
