The good feelings that had just grown abruptly disappeared as Lin Ziran’s expression stiffened. He didn’t know what to say for a while.

He wouldn’t believe it himself no matter what he said…

Wen Yu watched this scene, his gaze swept across Lin Ziran’s swollen lips and the bite marks on his neck… He thought he would be angry, but in fact, he was not. Probably because he expected it…

Lin Ziran pushed Zhao Mingze away quickly and got up from the sofa. This scene was really embarrassing.

Wen Yu’s gaze was indifferent, and his tone was filled with humour: “Am I disturbing you?”

Lin Ziran: “…No.”

Wen Yu didn’t believe it and his eyes seemed to be smiling, “It seems that I had been overestimating myself. If I had known this before, I wouldn’t have stopped Mr. Lu from finding a new love.”

There was a voice in his heart telling him, look at how ugly your jealous appearance is. But he couldn’t control himself…he still allowed himself to become hideous after all.

Lin Ziran’s face turned pale, as if he wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn’t.

Since we have broken up, we should be decisive.

Wen Yu looked at him.

Lin Ziran’s silence completely extinguished the only trace of hope in his heart. So now, what is he still hoping for…? Hoping that this person still cared a little bit about him, hoping that he will come to redeem himself?

A sneer slowly appeared on Wen Yu’s lips, and he didn’t know whether he was laughing at the other person or at himself.

Maybe it was both.

Lin Ziran looked at Wen Yu blankly. Although Wen Yu was smiling, his eyes were extremely cold.

At this moment, Zhao Mingze suddenly stood up from behind him, silently holding his hand.

Lin Ziran was stunned, but unexpectedly did not shake Zhao Mingze away. Instead, he pursed his lips and whispered to Wen Yu, “Why did you come today…”

Wen Yu’s eyes moved and his gaze flickered to the interlocked hands between the two of them. Then he walked past Lin Ziran, put the key on the table and smiled gently. “I’m here to return the key.”

Yes, I’m just here to return this to you, and leave behind all the love you gave me along with everything you gave me.

This is the dignity I want to leave to myself in the end.

Wen Yu took a deep look at Lin Ziran. A trace of attachment appeared in his eyes but his expression quickly returned to normal. He turned around and left without hesitation, his back full of determination.

Until Wen Yu’s figure had disappeared for a long time, Lin Ziran still stood motionless.

After a while, he looked like he had just recovered. He flung away Zhao Mingze’s hand like he had been shocked, with guilt in his eyes.

Zhao Mingze squeezed the empty palm of his hand, his eyes were sad, but he apologized first: “I’m sorry, I acted on my own…”

You’re a natural at the strategy of retreating before advancing. This was definitely for Lu Zhen who wouldn’t bend to coercion but would yield to coaxing.

Don’t look at him pretending to be so sensible, if he really get back together with Wen Yu, this villain would have to keep stirring trouble until his death…

Lin Ziran looked at him with a complicated expression, and sighed softly, “No, I should be the one to say sorry, I just…”

Obviously, I’m the one who still can’t let go of Wen Yu, and still love him, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself, so I took advantage of you and didn’t let go of your hand…

Although Lin Ziran didn’t finish speaking, Zhao Mingze understood what he wanted to say. His eyes were gentle and steady. “If you really can’t let it go, it’s not too late to chase after him now.”

Lin Ziran seemed very surprised to hear this but he did not move. “He will not be happy with me.”

Wen Yu is a public figure. He had too many things to worry about and too many things to care about. It turns out that being with him will only bring him endless trouble…

It’s just a relationship and they have already separated. Soon, he won’t care anymore.

For Wen Yu, there are too many things more important than love.

“But if you just give up like this, will you be happy? Have you thought about yourself?” Zhao Mingze looked at him earnestly. In those dark pupils, there seemed to be complex emotions swirling. ” If I really don’t have the right to replace him, then I would rather you continue to be with him…because I care about you and hope you can be happy.”

He didn’t say the word ‘love’ anymore, but his love was deeper than ever, and it went beyond words.

Lin Ziran looked moved. For a long time, the corners of his mouth raised up and laughed at himself: “I can’t go back to him, it’s not just because of that, I will let go… I just need time…”

Zhao Mingze raised his eyes suddenly, as if he did not expect to get such an answer.

Lin Ziran smiled at him suddenly, and said helplessly: “I have always been very fortunate to have you by my side, but if I’m with you, it’s not fair to you.”

Zhao Mingze’s eyes were burning and he said: “You are not me, how do you know that this is unfair to me?”

………………

[System: What on earth are you planning?]

[Lin Ziran: I just want to see what Zhao Mingze can do for me. You see, I’m not suffering a loss at all, ah~ It’s such a joy to be fawned on using every means.]

Anyway, he knows Zhao Mingze’s plot and will not be fooled, he can just enjoy Zhao Mingze’s meticulous service. Seeing Zhao Mingze make a failing investment in himself is all to his gain. Beautiful!

By the way, he was now on vacation on Zhao Mingze’s cruise ship.

Apart from the staff of the entire luxury cruise ship, there were only him and Zhao Mingze. Lin Ziran was sitting on the deck chair enjoying the sea breeze and bathing in the sun.

It’s hard to imagine the happiness of the rich!

I don’t want to go home anymore.

Lin Ziran narrowed his eyes comfortably, took out his mobile phone to play games and surfed Weibo. He paid special attention to Wen Yu. Although they can’t be husbands, he was still concerned about him and would often check the news on Weibo.

The enthusiasm of netizens is limited, and there was no one behind it any longer so the public opinion has long since calmed down.

Wen Yu looked pretty good lately. He had fully recovered from his injuries and joined the group to shoot a new movie a few days ago. Recently, a few films have been released. His ancient costume made him look like a cold and aloof fairy, it was difficult to look away. Lin Ziran couldn’t help thinking about how he had been willing to break up with such a beauty…

This proves that he is actually a very determined person!

Will not be tempted by the beauty in this game.

What a sensible fan!

“What are you doing?” Hands wrapped around his shoulders from behind as Zhao Mingze’s low magnetic voice fell into his ears.

Lin Ziran crossed out the interface and smiled, “Nothing.”

Zhao Mingze’s thin lips pursed slightly. In fact, he had arrived a long time ago. When Lin Ziran looked at Wen Yu, his eyes were always so gentle and hot, as if he loved this person to his bones… he would never look at himself with this kind of eyes.

Even if he is finally by his side, it always seems that there is something between them, so he was unable to really touch this person.

Zhao Mingze suppressed the unwillingness in his eyes and smiled, “The sun is a bit hot, let’s go in.”

Of course, Lin Ziran would not object. He nodded and said, “Okay.”

The two returned to the living room on the top floor of the cruise ship.

The spacious living room was surrounded by curved leather sofas. In the center is a huge LCD screen where they can watch movies. There were various expensive wines in the freezer next to it, which was incredibly luxurious.

Zhao Mingze hugged Lin Ziran, and lightly kissed him on the neck, his eyes were dark.

Then he raised his hand and pressed the switch on his side. All the glass around the living room turned dark, blocking out the sunlight outside, leaving only the dim warm yellow light on the roof.

Lin Ziran narrowed his eyes slightly.

………………

It’s different from their chaotic drunk s*x.

This time, Lin Ziran remembered every detail of the process very clearly. Afterwards, he languidly nestled on the sofa, thinking that his guess was good. This was really a good gong.

By the way, they are not in an exclusive couple’s relationship now. In Lin Ziran’s view, they are merely friends with benefits.

Zhao Mingze was really skillful when it comes to serving him.

Lin Ziran expressed his satisfaction for his current life.

Apart from leisure and comfort, he will also think about what Zhao Mingze wanted to do. Is it possible that he intended to fool himself first and wait until Lin Ziran really fell in love with him and then further cannibalize and swallow his company? Kill him first and then kill Lu Sui?

But these are all his guesses.

Zhao Mingze was so patient, and did not hesitate to sacrifice his body, Lin Ziran really admired him.

Although he was satisfied with Zhao Mingze, he cannot go out of character!

He got up from the sofa, opened the windows, and came to the door in his pajamas.

Zhao Mingze followed.

Lin Ziran’s expression seemed a bit lonely. He looked at the sea level in the distance and said guiltily: “I’m sorry, I was actually looking at Wen Yu’s news today…”

Zhao Mingze paused and smiled slightly: “He should be living pretty wellrecently, right?”

Lin Ziran nodded, gently closing his eyes: “Yes.”

Zhao Mingze did not speak.

Lin Ziran said, “I have been out for a few days this time, I want to go back.”

Go back?

Because you want to see Wen Yu?

Even if you are by my side, you only think about him.

Zhao Mingze clenched the hand at his side slightly, and the darkness in his heart grew but he gave Lin Ziran a considerate smile: “Okay, we will go back.”

So what if you go back?

I finally got you. I will never give you a chance to escape from me.

 

They took the plane back to City B. Zhao Mingze drove Lin Ziran home by himself. On the way, he said, “Lu Zhen, why don’t you move into my house.”

Lin Ziran was originally asleep, but when he heard Zhao Mingze’s words, he refused without hesitation: “No.”

Zhao Mingze stopped mentioning it and just drove quietly.

When he got home, it was late at night.

Lin Ziran smiled at Zhao Mingze and said, “You don’t need to go in, just stop here. It’s late, so you should go back and rest soon.”

Zhao Mingze nodded, his expression becoming more gentle. “Okay.”

However, when Lin Ziran left, a trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

Lin Ziran got out of the car and yawned. He planned to get a good night’s sleep today and think through things tomorrow. He walked absent-mindedly, and suddenly saw a person standing at the door.

It was Lu Sui!

What’s more terrifying is that Lu Sui’s stubble had grown, and his eyes were red and bloody, as if he hadn’t rested in a long time. Those dark eyes looked like a lone wolf who could go crazy at any time in the night… Lin Ziran’s heart jumped and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

He suddenly remembered that Lu Sui seemed to have called him when he was on vacation. To express his disappointment with his smelly brother, he directly blocked Lu Sui’s phone number, and never saw it again.

Lin Ziran quickly took out his mobile phone, and there were hundreds of missed calls from Lu Sui in the blacklist!

He regretted letting Zhao Mingze leave first! qaq

But why is Lu Sui so angry? Hasn’t he succeeded? Could it be that something happened again?

[Lin Ziran’s voice trembled: System, can you call the police for me? ! Hurry, 110!]

[System: … Please calm down, don’t panic too much.]

Lin Ziran watched Lu Sui vigilantly, lest he suddenly drew a knife to die with him. After all, Lu Sui looked abnormalnow. He kept thinking about what Lu Sui had been stimulated by and watched Lu Sui came over…

Lin Ziran screamed: “Stop!”

But Lu Sui suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly, as if he was going to break his waist with great strength. Then, the big man choked, “Brother…”

Lin Ziran: …?

Who is he, where is he, what happened?

Lu Sui held Lin Ziran tightly without letting go. His body trembled slightly.

After he left the cemetery that day, he was depressed for several days because he could not accept the fact, and then he started investigating everything that happened in the past. He hoped that the man had lied to him, and that everything was false…but in the end, all the facts and evidence from the year all proved that what the person said was true.

His mother didn’t die to save Lu Zhen, but was killed by mistake because of a disagreement with her colleagues.

His father concealed this fact and told him that his mother was killed by the gangster who kidnapped her. The father said this was actually because he was afraid that he could not accept this fact at the time. He was also afraid that this incident would cause him to be unable to lift his head up and was worried that he would suffer because of his mother…This is his father’s love and protection.

That taciturn man actually cared about him…

But he didn’t know and stubbornly believed that his mother died because of Lu Zhen. If she hadn’t had to pick up Lu Zhen from school, how could she have encountered something like that? Because of his ignorance, his father had become gradually disappointed in him…

And what about Lu Zhen? He obviously encountered such terrible things and such betrayal. He clearly suffered 10,000 times more than himself… But did not say anything, and even acquiesced to his unprovoked accusations against him and had to bear his misunderstanding for so many years. …

He only knew how to blindly accuse his father, accused Lu Zhen, accused them for not being good to him. He accused them of indifference and ruthlessness… but didn’t know how much they paid for him.

Especially Lu Zhen…

At that time, Lu Zhen was only fifteen years old. He was also afraid needed the care and love of others… But he would only blame him for not caring about himself, not understanding his pain, and never wanted to comfort him. …

He was too headstrong and ignorant.

But Lu Zhen did not blame him, nor did he get angry at him for his mother’s behavior. Instead, after he left the Lu family, he tried to contact him and convinced himself to go home. But not only did he not appreciate it… Instead, he thought it was Lu Zhen’s hypocrisy.

I took advantage of his goodness, his care, and his kindness to take away the company that should have belonged to him, but even so, Lu Zhen still did not reveal the truth back then, and still didn’t care about himself. He is really the best person to him in this world…

But because of hatred and unwillingness, I even hurt his beloved…

He must be truly disappointed in me.

He won’t even answer my phone now.

He must not want to see me anymore…

Regret stabbed Lu Sui like a knife. He couldn’t find Lu Zhen, so he just kept waiting here. He waited until he finally came home…

Sorry, I was wrong.

I thought I hated you, but I actually care about you too much. It turns out that I have never lost you… But I was just blinded by hatred, and pushed you away from me…

I actually really want to come back to you.

Lin Ziran calmed down.

He was no longer afraid.

He allowed Lu Sui to stay in his arms and even if Lu Sui hadn’t said a word, he felt that Lu Sui was not malicious. Because at this moment, Lu Sui, that is…the slightest trace of a scum gong’s demeanor in him was gone!

Completely like a helpless child.

Lin Ziran looked at his red eyes and almost wanted to say a man shouldn’t cry like this.

“If you have something to say, say it slowly.” Lin Ziran thought for a while and said.

Lu Sui listened to Lin Ziran’s soft voice, looked up and stared at this man’s face in a daze. The elegant and gentle face was the same as in the past. He neither pushed him mercilessly away nor told him to scram indifferently. Instead, he seemed to look at him with pity, and gently told him to say what he had to say slowly…

He is still so good.

Lu Sui felt even more pained and self-blame in his heart. All his unwillingness now seemed like a joke. The ugly clown grinned and trampled in his heart, as if telling him, look at this fool, you can’t even tell the difference between good and bad. Regretting it now?

Lu Sui’s voice was hoarse, he looked at Lin Ziran pleadingly, his lips trembled: “I’m sorry, brother, I know I was wrong, I’m sorry…you, can you forgive me once?”

Lin Ziran was really dumbfounded, why could he suddenly not recognise Lu Sui after a vacation? What did you do? Why did he come to beg for forgiveness so suddenly? ? ?

Did you get possessed?l!

Lin Ziran frowned and said solemnly: “What are you talking about, I don’t understand.”

Lu Sui smiled miserably: “Are you still refusing to tell me the truth? I already know, and I know everything that happened back then! I’m sorry for you… it’s all my mother’s fault…”

Lin Ziran: “…”

[Lin Ziran’s voice was a little uneasy: System, is there a data error? Why does Lu Sui seem to be ill, and his speech is unclear.]

[System: The data can’t go wrong.]

[Lin Ziran: Then how do you explain your current behavior?]

[System: The butterfly effect may be caused by the deviation of the plot, which unlocked the hidden plot. However, this situation is rare. Players are requested to react accordingly.]

[Lin Ziran:…]

Lin Ziran felt a headache as he didn’t understand what Lu Sui meant, and hesitated: “I really don’t know what you are talking about. Calm down and don’t be impulsive.”

Lu Sui’s hands trembled so hard, he looked at Lin Ziran sadly, why did he refuse to say anything until now? I obviously treat you so terribly…

The more Lin Ziran denied it, the sadder Lu Sui was.

The gentleness of this person is like a scorching sun shining into his heart, burning away his filthy and ugly heart… Telling him he isn’t worthy of forgiveness.

Not worthy of all this.

Not worthy of how good he treats you.

Lu Sui’s throat overflowed with laughter. He stared into Lin Ziran’s eyes with determination, and said with a pale face, “Okay, let me tell you what I’m talking about.”

“It wasn’t an accident that you were kidnapped back then. It was my mother who deliberately picked you up but leaked your information. The kidnappers kidnapped you. Not only did she kidnap you, she wanted to kill you…” Lu Sui’s throat was hoarse. The cruel facts that he never wanted to think about anymore came out of his own mouth word by word, like repeated torture: “If it wasn’t for the kidnapper who refused out of fear and quarreled with her, then killed her by mistake, she would have killed you… You knew all this, but didn’t tell me, allowing me misunderstand you…”

You are very good to me, but very cruel to me.

Allowing me to hurt you.

Lin Ziran was really stunned this time. He stared at Lu Sui in a daze then fell speechless.

There is no mention of this in this script!

Lu Sui’s feelings were sincere, not like he was teasing him. But this is not logical!

Although the script did not mention this matter, it is probably a hidden plot, but Lu Zhen’s guilt towards Lu Sui was included in the script. If the facts are as Lu Sui said, why should Lu Zhen feel guilty? He is obviously the victim?

Could it be that he felt guilty because he alienated Lu Sui? It also doesn’t seem so..

Lin Ziran couldn’t understand this.

But this seemed to explain Lu Sui’s behavior, and he could understand why Father Lu treated Lu Zhen so well. Father Lu not only sent Lu Sui away but also gave the company all to Lu Zhen, probably to make up to Lu Zhen. He felt terrible for his oldest son, the victim, for causing him to suffer such harm and misunderstanding.

What should I do now?

The sudden change caught Lin Ziran by surprise, and his thoughts were a mess. Should he admit it or not?

If he admitted it, judging from Lu Sui’s regretful appearance, won’t they go back to becoming good brothers? The plot will fall apart even more..Although the plot looks pretty bad right now…

If he didn’t admit it, will Lu Sui’s anguish cause him to do stupid things? It doesn’t matter if he does stupid things, just don’t involve me…

Lu Sui saw that Lin Ziran was silent and his expression was complicated. Recalling the slap and indifferent words Lin Ziran had given him before, he seemed to understand.

Lin Ziran was completely disappointed in him and didn’t want to care about him anymore. He didn’t want to forgive him, and would rather treat him as if he didn’t have this younger brother… so he didn’t want to bring up matters of the past.

He also remembered what Wen Yu said to him at the beginning. He said he would regret it, but unfortunately he didn’t listen.

Lin Ziran was silent for a while.

He thought that he had better not admit it. Although he won’t be able to predict Lu Sui’s reaction, he did not know about this incident. If he casually admitted it and Lu Su asked him more about what happened back then, he wouldn’t know. Wouldn’t it be full of loopholes? It’s better to continue to deny it and let Lu Sui’s brain come up with nonsense on his own.

And Lin Ziran always feels… things are not that simple…

He looked at Lu Sui with a faint expression, and said, “I really don’t understand what you are talking about, please go.”

As expected, Lu Sui said in a sad voice, “This is my home, where do you want me to go…” Do you really want me…

Lin Ziran didn’t dare to live under the roof with this unstable Lu Sui. He frowned and said, “This is my home and I believe you have a place to live.”

Lin Ziran was about to open the door and enter.

Lu Sui’s eyes turned redder. He looked at Lin Ziran’s back pass by him, just like at the entrance of the hospital last time… He didn’t even bother to look at him again. He was so disappointed in him, no longer caring for his apology.

But he still wants his forgiveness.

He broke his heart.

If he left this time, he would never see him again…

He will completely lose his brother.

Lu Sui suddenly grabbed the doorknob. His eyes were red and filled with pain: “Don’t drive me away…”

Lin Ziran opened the door, but did not move: “…”

Disobedient kids are a headache.

After Zhao Mingze watched Lin Ziran get out of the car, he thought for a while, turned around and drove back. He still had something to say to Lin Ziran.

Who knew that as soon as he approached Lin Ziran’s house, he saw Lu Sui reaching out to block the door, looking at Lin Ziran with red eyes… Zhao Mingze’s expression suddenly changed! It was too late to think about why Lu Sui appeared here and why he looked like this. Lest he hurt Lin Ziran, he strode over to grab Lu Sui’s arm, and said sharply, “What are you doing here?”

He stared coldly at Lu Sui’s eyes, his eyes full of threat and warning.

Don’t forget your deal with me, let alone try to interfere with Lin Ziran and I.

Lu Sui was pulled away by Zhao Mingze without warning. He looked back at Zhao Mingze’s cold face. After he recovered, his heart was even more painful… It turns out that Lin Ziran came back so late because he was with Zhao Mingze…

Zhao Mingze is a despicable liar. He actually lied to his brother.

But Lu Sui hated himself even more. He and Zhao Mingze colluded, and he sold his most important brother to this despicable man.

Lu Sui’s eyes were full of hatred. He looked at Zhao Mingze coldly and said without hesitation: “There will be no more cooperation between us.”

When Zhao Mingze heard this sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong…

A sense of crisis suddenly emerged.

He saw Lu Sui turned his head and said to Lin Ziran, “Brother, this person has been lying to you, do you know?”
