Chapter 352 - So This was the Truth
“What did you think?” Chu Lui pursed his lips slightly. “I can have any woman I want. If not for this amulet, I wouldn’t ever fall for you.” All he wanted was the girl he had chosen when he was young. He didn’t care what she grew up to be—whether she was tall or short, fat or skinny, pretty or ugly. It didn’t matter to him, for she was the one he had set his mind on. If not for all the things that had happened, he would have chosen her for life.
Xia Mingzheng did not understand anything they said. So Chu Lui and Yixuan had met when they were young, but why hadn’t he ever heard Yixuan speak of this before?

“I’m sorry, Brother Lui… I…” Xia Yixuan stood up at a loss and slightly speechless. She really didn’t know that there was such a story behind the amulet.
“Brother Lui, actually…” She really didn’t know how to tell him. It was more difficult to say than her disappearance of four years. She was hesitating between whether to tell him or not, but she steeled herself. She did not want to be someone’s substitute, never—as it was an insult to her.
She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she bit her lip and choked out.
