Chapter 148
“But I still held on to hope. I told myself that if I can’t make my dream come true when I’m 30, I’ll just marry a woman randomly. I’ll just have to accept my life. It’s rare in my circle to get married for love. It’s just an exchange of benefits.
“I thought I’d live such a miserable life, but I was lucky to meet you again. God must have heard my prayers and gave me such a big surprise. Lulu, I would’ve given up if I hadn’t seen you. But you’re here, right next to me, alive. I like every part of you. I almost go crazy with joy.
“Lulu, can you say something? I’m afraid you’ll reject me.”

When Helen came back that day, she was a little drunk and unsteady. I kindly went to help her, but she shook my hands off. Go away! I don’t want to be friends with my love rival!”
She was so fierce!
I felt a headache coming on. I planned to put her down and let her
