This particular day Xi Wanlin was feeling particularly depressed.
After dinner, Lu Lei suggested they shop for some clothes again, but she refused.
She glanced at the time, it was already past 8 PM, so she said to Lu Lei, "I have to go now."
"So soon?"
"In case my husband checks on me."
Lu Lei didn't dare to press her, looking at her with injured eyes, "Then be careful on your way back."
Seeing him like this, Xi Wanlin's heart felt a twinge of reluctance. If he had shamelessly begged her to stay, she certainly would have left promptly; the less he pressed, the more wounded he appeared, the softer her heart turned.
In short, Lu Lei knew exactly how to play his cards.
However, recalling the possibility of bumping into acquaintances, Xi Wanlin steeled her heart, "Let's hang out some other time, goodbye."
She turned and headed for the underground garage.
