Han Zhuoli was relieved that he was not disliked.
Lu Man went back to packing.
She was a very orderly person. She had a to-do list even when packing.
She packed up based on the to-do list. The nicely-packed luggage looked the way it did when they had just arrived.
Previously, because they’d been staying at the villa for seven days, many things had been taken out but not packed back into the luggage. The villa had appeared to be full of life. Both of their personal belongings had occupied the entire table. It had looked comforting.
After she had packed everything up, the villa looked very empty.
She reminisced about the seven carefree days spent at the resort. Every day, there was no need to think. This place was like a place of refuge.
During the times when they were at B City, they did not appear to be missing anything. Lu Man and Han Zhuoli were very successful in their respective careers. They had never lost. Neither did they have any competitors.
But in reality, their stress levels every day were quite high. It could not be compared to how relaxed they were these last few days.
At this place, even emptying their minds was very soothing. Even boredom was a form of bliss.
Tomorrow, they would have to leave. Lu Man suddenly felt that the days had passed too fast.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, dazed, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The thought of returning home and having to deal with life again was pressuring. But she also knew that she had no choice but to face it.
It was as though these seven days had been stolen.
After a while, Lu Man felt that she was being too pretentious.
These were just days lived to the fullest, and yet, they produced these worries.
If it were in the past when she was with the Lu Family, or even in the previous century, would she have been qualified to have such worries?
Every day, she’d had to struggle with the bitter cracks in life. The current life she now enjoyed was a luxury that she could not have imagined back then.
Lu Man smiled. This was the arrogance that arises from being dissatisfied with living such a good life.
She collected her thoughts. As she was preparing to rest after packing, who would have expected that Han Zhouli would step out, neatly dressed?
It was really very neat.
This tropical island was sweltering hot and even humid during the night.
At this place, one had to dress in loose clothes to be comfortable. Even Lu Man, whose dressing was usually conservative and who disliked revealing clothes, became liberal here.
She would wear a swimsuit with a half-transparent UV-proof blouse. It was loose and comfortable. The sea breeze would blow through the holes in the garment and onto the skin, which was really comfortable.
But at this moment, Han Zhuoli was clad in a formal shirt and pants.
These seven days, she had often seen him in a casual outfit. After she saw him so formal all of a sudden, shock could be seen from that somber appearance.
Truth be told, after normally seeing Han Zhuoli in this outfit every day, Lu Man had indeed developed resistance against it.
Even though it looked good, she would not feel surprised every day.
But after seeing it for the first time after seven days, Lu Man suddenly felt that he looked quite erotic.
“Why are you dressed so formally?” Lu Man asked curiously.
She was about to rest, yet he suddenly dressed up. “Going out?”
Han Zhuoli smiled. “You don’t want to go out?”
“It is not that.” Lu Man smiled bashfully. “It’s just that these last few days had been carefree, which was rare. When we return, it would be really busy, so I’m not sure when we would have time like this in the future to visit a resort.”
Han Zhuoli walked over and gently caressed her face. “So long as you want it, we can always make time for it.”
He pulled Lu Man up. “Get changed.”
“We’re going out?” Lu Man asked again.
Han Zhuoli nodded. After some thought, he added, “Change into a skirt.”
