The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 56 - I Really... Miss You 1

After the passionate embrace in Li Juefeng’s master bedroom, night had fallen. Li Juefeng held her tightly as he slept, but Gu Xiaoai lay awake, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Struggling to free herself from Li Juefeng’s arms, Gu Xiaoai slipped into a nightgown, opened the sliding door, and stepped onto the balcony. The night breeze was chilly, a stark contrast to the warm air inside the room.

Her muddled thoughts seemed to awaken in an instant…

The time on her phone read: 23:59.

Slowly, the time slipped past the end of the day.

Chu Shixiu.

Happy birthday.

Happy wedding.

Forever… happy.

Gu Xiaoai silently whispered in her heart, letting the warm tears flow down her cheeks, the pain in her chest rendering her speechless.

They hadn’t seen each other for nine years, nine years where her birthday was without him, and his birthday was without her.

From now on, their lives would no longer include each other.

He had his beautiful bride whom he loved dearly, while she… had become the captive of a demon, two people moving in opposite directions, passing by each other and growing further apart…

So far apart that they would never meet again.

Slowly, her body crouched down, Gu Xiaoai squatted at the edge of the balcony, crying silently, her body trembling fiercely.

Chu Shixiu, I miss you, I really… miss you.

“Gu Xiaoai!”

The domineering voice rang out.

The sliding door was suddenly pushed open.

Startled, Gu Xiaoai shrank her shoulders, hurriedly wiping away her tears before turning around.

Li Juefeng stood there, bare-chested, frowning at her, his tone somewhat impatient, “What’s wrong again?”

Why was this woman always crying?

What had he done to upset her now?

“Nothing. Why are you awake?”

“Couldn’t sleep,” Li Juefeng replied coldly. He could feel the absence of her weight on his arm, how could he not notice?

She had run out here to cry secretly…

“Are you hungry? I can make some noodles for you.”

Gu Xiaoai stood up, feeling embarrassed. Why did he always catch her crying, making it seem like she cried all the time?

“Mm.” Li Juefeng grunted.

He was annoyed by women’s tears, not knowing how to ask.

When he was bullying her mercilessly, she never shed a tear, but turned around and cried behind his back?

Was he really too harsh on her?

With this thought, Li Juefeng stepped forward and pulled Gu Xiaoai back inside, awkwardly patting her head in a gesture that seemed like comfort.
