Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Don’t Leave Me

The corners of Su Bei’s lips raised in a sweet smile. “Really?”

Seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, Lu Heting nodded seriously.

She chuckled. “Yes, I still have you. And...”

There was also Da Bao.

She didn’t want her son to feel unwanted in his family like she did, so she thought it was best to know Lu Heting’s living condition before introducing the two of them to each other.

With a spark in her eyes, she looked at him and smiled, “It’s really good to have you.”

Lu Heting couldn’t help thinking about that summer afternoon five years ago when she was lying in his arms like this. She only seemed so vulnerable when she was not sober.

Over the past five years, he missed her so bad that he would often catch himself thinking about her face. He felt that she was deeply carved in his heart.

“Su Bei, tell me, why did you leave all those years ago?”

“Well... To be honest...” A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes as she spoke, “I thought you were too good to be with someone like me.”

Holding her in his arms, he knew that she was drunk, yet he still felt touched by her words.

“Will you leave me again?” As he asked this, a sense of fear rose in his heart.

He wasn’t quite sure if he wanted to hear her answer.

With her head resting on his shoulder, Su Bei pondered whether she would be leaving again or not. Then it hit her that her departure was inevitable. After all, she was terminally ill.

So, she would leave.

Lu Heting waited for a long time, but she didn’t say anything. Intertwining their fingers tightly, he begged her, “Don’t leave me, Su Bei.”

His deep voice fell into her ears and touched her heart.

“I won’t leave.” She gave in.

She decided to follow his heart’s desire since she didn’t have the courage to deny him anything.

“Don’t leave me.”

“I won’t.”

Lowering his head, he kissed her lips.

As he inhaled the strong scent of alcohol on her breath, he did his best to restrain himself from going further.

The girl was barely conscious now.

If he did anything to her in that state, he would be just taking advantage of her.

Therefore, he calmed himself down.

The lowest level of desire could be fulfilled through indulgence.

But the highest could be fulfilled only if he restrained himself at the moment.

He could wait.

By the time Su Bei woke up, she was surprised to find herself in bed until her mind gradually became clear.

Sitting up in shock, she remembered that it was Lu Heting who had taken her home and helped her change into comfortable pajamas.

She looked down and made sure she was indeed in her nightwear. Except for that, nothing bad seemed to have happened.

Su Bei patted on her chest. It had been a long time since she last had anything alcoholic. Although she only had a little to drink, she did it because she was really in a bad mood. She never expected that she would get drunk so easily.

Turning her head, she saw a little post-it card on the bedside table. The handwriting in it was both elegant and domineering. “I bought you some hot porridge. It’s in the kitchen. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with you, so you can have the porridge and drink lots of water after you get up.”

Su Bei was relieved. As it seemed, Lu Heting was a gentleman and didn’t take advantage of her.

Staring at his handwriting, she thought it really reflected his noble personality.

Promptly, his handsome face popped into her mind.

After slowly eating the porridge, she thought about a few things and decided to pick up the phone to call Lu Heting.

She wondered if she had told him about Da Bao when she was drunk.

“Oh, hey. I had to leave, but I’ll be back soon. I have something important to tell you.” Lu Heting’s voice came through the phone, sounding particularly determined.
