Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle
Chapter 786: Their Love Had Become a Thing of the Past

Many years ago, she had asked to meet Lu Jinwen at Bangkok Number 1, and not Bangkok Number 7. That day, she had waited for an entire day and night at Bangkok Number 1, but he had never turned up.

She would never have imagined that the note had been tampered with.

It was only when Mo’er handed this note over to her that she realized the truth.

Tang Chenyi’s handsome face was devoid of any expression. As he was driving, he pointed at the screen of a black notebook and said, “Mom, this Bangkok Number 7 is a swamp with no signs of life. It is enshrouded in a toxic gas which can poison one if one were to breathe it in, especially for a prolonged period of time. In contrast, Bangkok Number 1 is a beautiful garden. These two places are vastly different, like heaven and hell.”

Lin Xuanji raised her eyes and peered through the rear view mirror at the luxury car which was tailing closely behind. She smiled. “So that year, he went to Bangkok Number 7, while I went to Bangkok Number 1.”

“Yes, Lu Jinwen was there. He got poisoned and was saved by Lin Xuanyin, who absorbed the toxic gas into herself in order to save him. This resulted in her heart failure condition. To repay his gratitude, Lu Jinwen saved Lin Xuanyin and gave her the status of Mrs Lu,” Tang Chenyi said.

So Lin Xuanyin had saved Lu Jinwen...

Upon hearing these words, a tinge of mockery appeared on Lin Xuanji’s tender face. Soon after, she clasped her hand to her chest, where her heart was.

“Mom, does your heart hurt again? I’ve sent someone to look for a compatible heart. If we manage to find one, we will undergo the heart transplant operation immediately.”

Lin Xuanji shook her head. “It’s no use. Lu Jinwen has been looking for a compatible heart for Lin Xuanyin all these years, but to no avail. Lin Xuanyin and I are twins, and our hearts are different from typical people. There’s no one in the world who will have compatible hearts with us.”

Tang Chenyi’s almond-shaped eyes became somber.

Lin Xuanji’s long lashes quivered and her soft voice was laced with regret. “That’s enough. The love and hatred that has lasted for so many years will end with me. I initially thought we had made a mistake on our journey of love, but that was not the truth. I am the person he loved all along.”

After so many years, she had finally understood his feelings. He loved her.

This ruthless and heartless emperor loved her all along. She understood his ambiguous feelings towards her.

But they had missed it nonetheless.

Their love had become a thing of the past.

It was too late.

...

In the apartment.

Lin Xuanji entered the room. She stood by the window and drew the curtains. There was a luxury car parked downstairs. He did not leave.

He had parked his car beneath her apartment.

She turned around and entered the bathroom to bathe.

Whoosh. Warm water filled the bathtub while milk and fresh flower petals floated about in the water. She removed her clothes and lay inside the bathtub.

Ding dong. The doorbell rang. Someone was knocking on the door.

Who could it be?

Lin Xuanji did not budge. She did not intend to open the door. Besides Lu Jinwen, who else could it be?

She closed her eyes gently.

At this moment, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open and someone barged in.

Lin Xuanji immediately opened her eyes and glanced sideways. There was a tall and handsome figure standing by the door. Lu Jinwen had entered.

She was still in the bath!

Lin Xuanji sat up immediately from her comfortable lying position and shielded her chest with her hands. She glared at the man. “Lu Jinwen, how did you come in?”

Lu Jinwen stuck one hand into his trousers pocket, and his deep almond-shaped eyes landed on the woman’s body. She was still in the bath, and her hair was scattered about messily in the water, barely covering her fair, supple skin. She did not look like a woman in her forties and she looked more like a young girl instead.

He had never seen a woman like her, who could remain so youthful forever.

As Lu Jinwen continued to ogle her body, he said, “You know that a door can’t stop me.”

With that, he arched his eyebrows. “In the past, you always locked me outside the door. My ability to open doors was trained by you.”

“...”

In the past, he would imprison her in the villa overlooking the sea. She would lock him outside the door. As he could not find a locksmith, he would have to find a way to open the door himself.

This man was naturally intelligent and could pick up anything. It had been so many years, yet he had not forgotten such a skill.

Lin Xuanji glanced at him. This fifty-year-old man was wealthy, mature, handsome, had an imposing presence and muscular body. He appeared indescribably attractive when he engaged in such flirtatious behavior.

“Brother-in-law, could you please leave so that I can put on my clothes?”

Lu Jinwen stuck both hands into his trousers pockets with no shame. “I will stand here and watch you change.”

“...”

Picking up the nearest piece of clothing, Lin Xuanji flung it over his head.

She took the opportunity to step out of the bathtub, before hiding behind the mosaic glass door and putting on her pajamas.

Lu Jinwen’s vision went black. He took down the clothing from his face. It was actually a ladies’ bra.

It belonged to her.

He gently caressed the sides of the bra a few times, and then he lowered his head and sniffed it...

Lin Xuanji had just emerged after wearing her pajamas when she saw Lu Jinwen in this position. His nose was buried in her bra sniffing away as if he was intoxicated.

Even the most composed person would not be able to remain calm in such a situation. Lin Xuanji’s face blushed a vibrant red. “Brother-in-law, do you know what people mean by the term ‘perverted’?”

Lu Jinwen raised his eyes, though there was a lack of embarrassment on his handsome face. He looked at the woman and said, “Very fragrant.”

“...I’ll leave it for you then.” Lin Xuanji turned around to walk away.

But she had merely walked a couple of steps when a broad hand reached over, grasped her wrist and gave it a vigorous tug. She fell into a broad embrace.

The man’s masculine scent wafted to her nose, and instantly dominated her senses.

He hugged her close.

Lin Xuanji struggled immediately, and even her tone was frosty. “Lu Jinwen, let go!”

Not only Lu Jinwen did not release her, he embraced her even more tightly. He tightened his grip around her svelte waist, buried his head in her neck and took in her scent. “You body is even more fragrant.”

Your body is even more fragrant.

He said these words in a low and charismatic voice, and it sounded so seductive.

Lin Xuanji did not budge. She was unable to extricate herself from him, so she merely resigned herself to letting him hug her. She smiled and said impassively, “Lu Jinwen, you are already approaching fifty. Can you stop thinking of such carnal things all the time?”

“Ha.” Lu Jinwen gave a low laugh. “I’m already fifty years old. In what ways am I inferior to others? Why can’t I think of such things?”

“...”

Spinning her around, Lu Jinwen pinned her down against the washstand. He trapped her body between his chest and the washstand, cupping her face with his hands, before he hunched his body and kissed those soft red lips...
