Lu Chi glanced indifferently at the sleeve Ye Rong was pulling on.
With a forceful pull, he withdrew his sleeve and ignored Ye Rong, intending to leave.
Ignored once again by Lu Chi, Ye Rong stamped her foot in frustration, her displeasure evident in her petulant demeanor.
She quickly stepped in front of Lu Chi to block his path.
Brother Lu Chi, why must you be so heartless towards me? Her eyes reddened, filled with grievance as she stared at Lu Chi. Im just asking a few questions. I havent done anything outrageously wrong.
Lu Chi looked at Ye Rong with calm eyes. Ive told you, there are things better left unknown for your own good.
I dont need you to decide whats good for me, Ye Rong insisted stubbornly. I just want to know who Huo Sichengs wife is. Why are you protecting his wife?
You want to know who Huo Sichengs wife is? Lu Chi scoffed. Ye Rong, youre not just curious. You want to know about the woman I care so much about. Is she a potential rival for you, right?
Ye Rong turned pale, suddenly at a loss for words.
No its not like that She stammered, then froze.
Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Lu Chi.
You you She was stunned. The only woman Brother Lu Chi cares about is could it be Sister Qingcheng She Shes married? And shes Huo Sichengs wile!
Lu Chi remained silent, his expression unchanged.
Sister Qingcheng is married, then you you dont stand a chance anymore? Ye Rong looked at Lu Chi in disbelief.
She was astounded, recalling the conversation between Lu Chi and Huo Sicheng.
The phrase strength value maxed out should have made her think of Gu Qingcheng.
After all, aside from Gu Qingcheng, no other woman mattered to Lu Chi, especially when even she, who had been chasing him for years, couldnt catch his eye.
She was foolish for only realizing now that Gu Qingcheng was the person Huo Sicheng and Lu Chi were discussing.
So, the person Huo Sicheng was looking for was Gu Qingcheng, which explained why Lu Chi would go to such lengths to protect her.
Gu Qingcheng was someone she could never compare to.
Yet, it never occurred to her that someone as smart as Gu Qingcheng could be kidnapped.
Suddenly, a malicious thought crossed her mind: she wished Gu Qingcheng had been killed during the kidnapping, so no one would compete with her for Lu Chi.
But the moment this vile thought emerged, she was overwhelmed with fear and helplessness. How could she harbor such a dreadful wish to kill Gu Qingcheng?
Lu Chi, noticing the change in Ye Rongs expression, spoke sternly, I wont allow anyone to harm Gu Qingcheng. If you harbor any malicious intent, Ill ensure the Ye familys ancestral graves are dug up.
Ye Rongs pupils shrank, shocked by Lu Chis words.
Brother Lu Chi Her voice was hoarse, but she clearly understood that Lu Chi would do anything for Gu Qingcheng, fueling her jealousy and envy, yet forcing her to face the harsh reality.
Lu Chi took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a smoke ring.
Its getting late. You should go home.
Tears streamed down Ye Rongs face as she asked Lu Chi, Sister Qingcheng is married, yet you still wont give up on her? Are you still waiting for her to marry you?
Even if Gu Qingcheng werent married, I wouldnt marry her, Lu Chi said, blowing smoke, his demeanor indifferent as he looked at Ye Rong, now a crying mess.
Why? Ye Rong didnt understand Lu Chis reasoning. Why wouldnt you marry Sister Qingcheng? Dont you like her?
Who said liking someone means you have to marry them? Lu Chi retorted. My feelings for Gu Qingcheng are based on emotion but restrained by propriety.
He added meaningfully to Ye Rong, Accompaniment is the longest confession of love.
Ye Rongs mind buzzed, the most striking words being that accompaniment is the longest confession of love.
For years, Lu Chi hadnt glanced her way, always harboring feelings for Gu Qingcheng.
Even if Gu Qingcheng were single, Lu Chi never pursued her. It took years for Ye Rong to understand that Lu Chis pursuit was a silent accompaniment, a silent confession.
Why? She sobbed. I dont understand why, when you had a chance to pursue Sister Qingcheng, you chose not to, just for this silent confession, I
Thats why I said youre still young and dont understand love, Lu Chi extinguished his cigarette, his gaze on Ye Rong softened for once, True love isnt about possession, but about letting go. Love is selfish; in this lifetime, you either marry her or never see her again. Theres no third option. Therefore, true love means either finding a way to make her happy or stepping aside to let someone else do so.
But how can you be sure Huo Sicheng can make Sister Qingcheng happy? Ye Rong challenged Lu Chi. Huo Sicheng is disabled. Didnt you see him in a wheelchair? I admit Huo Sicheng looks good, but marriage isnt just about looks.
Youve never seen the way your Sister Qingcheng looks when she talks about Huo Sicheng, Lu Chi chuckled lightly, recalling, But I have seen her eyes light up like stars, soft as the dawn, radiating happiness when she mentions Huo Sicheng. Its something that cant be faked. Having known her for years, Im genuinely happy for her happiness.
Ye Rong, sometimes letting go is also a form of love, he hinted at her, Whether in the past or now, Ive only seen you as a sister. So let go. You deserve someone more suited for you, not wasting your time on a man wholl never marry.
Ye Rong cried uncontrollably.
She knew Lu Chi was right. True love is about letting go, not possessing.
But Lu Chi was her first love, how could she easily give up?
Brother Lu Chi, youre just not planning to marry now. Maybe youll want to in the future, I
I wont marry, Lu Chi stated firmly. Since the day this scar appeared on my face, Ive had no intention of marrying. You should know the story behind this scar.
Ye Rong shivered upon seeing the scar on Lu Chis face, suddenly forgetting to cry.
I I dont know the story, I
Lu Chi looked at the nervous Ye Rong, his eyes flickered, Ive got things to do.
You should head home early.
Ye Rong stood frozen, watching Lu Chi disappear from her sight, then covered her face and sobbed loudly.
Brother Lu Chi, youve rejected my love again, youve rejected me. Ye Rongs cries echoed through the Lu familys garden.
Meanwhile, Huo Sicheng sat in the car, with Yi Shui sitting opposite him.
Gu Meis liver ruptured and is in critical condition at the hospital. Chu He is by her side.
Gu Tianhao is out of danger, with Bai Si taking care of him daily, which Qin
Chong is very unhappy about.
Qin Jun is grounded at home for wrongdoing.
The kidnappers of Mrs. Huo were Gu Mei and Qi Shaoze.
Yi Shui was reporting to Huo Sicheng the findings, and Huo Sichengs eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.
What did you say? His voice was ice-cold.. The kidnapping involved not just
Gu Mei but also Qi Shaoze?
