Chapter 988: Who Is It?

Lu Yuanhua didn't want to settle, knowing life stretched long before him. He didn't wish to live like his parents, coldly respectful without genuine warmth.

Perhaps his parents were used to that sort of life and even content with it, but Lu Yuanhua craved something lovelier. He refused to settle for mediocrity.

That's why he was drawn to girls like Su Xiaowan—lively, intelligent, cunning, animated, a fairy-like woman. Sadly, such women were rare; Xiaowan was one of a kind.

There might be others like her in the world, but they weren't her, and besides, fortune hadn't linked him with them, or perhaps their paths had yet to cross.

It wasn't that he didn't want to let go; however, asking someone who had seen light to plunge back into darkness seemed too cruel. He couldn't do it. Thus, he truly embodied the saying, "Better to rot in dignity than bow to convenience."
