AWB We'll never see each other again after Chapter 31.
We'll never see each other again after Chapter 31.
"It was Grandma's call asking me to come home for dinner." Shang Tingyan sighed almost imperceptibly.
Gu Youchuan could tell at a glance that he was annoyed. After all, what was there to be unhappy about having dinner with his grandmother? There must be another reason. "A trap?" Gu Youchuan raised an eyebrow, and Shang Tingyan tacitly agreed.
Gu Youchuan teased, "This time, which rich heiress or princess has Grandma arranged for you?"
Shang Tingyan frowned, his long, dark eyebrows tinged with a somber hue.
"Really, not a single one appealed to you?"
Shang Tingyan glanced at him sideways, his brows furrowing even deeper.
Knowing he didn't like to hear it and wasn't interested in the woman's identity, Gu Youchuan quickly shrugged. "Who told you to be single since birth? You haven't even held a girl's hand, let alone dated one. Your grandma thought you didn't like women and was worried that you had a health problem, so she insisted that you get a checkup every month."
"By the way, didn't your medical report come out? Can I take a look? You don't actually have any health problems, do you?"
"You're the one with the problem." Shang Tingyan threw the medical examination report into Gu Youchuan's hand.
Gu Youchuan immediately looked at it seriously, “Height 190cm, age 26…” Her weight and measurements were excellent, especially her bust and waist, the former being large and the latter small. Gu Youchuan couldn’t help but click his tongue, “No wonder those women’s eyes light up like wolves when they see you, wishing they could devour you alive. Your conditions are really amazing.”
Of course, none of that was the point. Gu Youchuan's gaze fell on Shang Tingyan's capital length section, and his eyes widened in an instant, "24?"
Continuing down, it reads, "100% of the products are of exceptional quality, with 1.2 million units per milliliter???"
In the end, all Gu Youchuan could say was a simple, easy-to-understand "Holy crap!"
When Gu Youchuan returned the medical examination report to Shang Tingyan, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. "Well, now I'm the one with the problem."
Feeling bullied by Shang Tingyan's medical report, Gu Youchuan didn't want to continue the topic and shifted his attention to the auction items, "Is that double-dragon-eared palace porcelain vase you bought a gift for Grandma?"
Shang Tingyan: "Yes, Grandma's birthday is coming soon."
……
“That Gu Youchuan is the future head of the Gu family in Hong Kong. His family has been in the shipbuilding and shipping trade business for generations. In recent years, they have been frequently active in the capital, building bridges between Hong Kong and the capital to establish a foothold in the capital. They are quite capable and resourceful. However, his family background is extremely complicated. His grandfather and father had many illegitimate children, and the family practiced the feudal system of polygamy. Gu Youchuan inherited this trait. He is undoubtedly a womanizer with countless lovers, often dominating the entertainment gossip headlines. His private life is extremely chaotic.” Wei Xifeng said, his brows furrowed with disgust.
"Teacher, don't let him fool you." Wei Xifeng was anxious, afraid that Jiang Liwu would fall for a philandering, dirty man.
The mere fact that someone like Gu Youchuan stands next to Jiang Liwu is a disgrace to her.
Seeing Wei Xifeng's anxious and worried look, Jiang Liwu knew that he had misunderstood, so she immediately reached out and gently tapped his forehead, "What are you thinking?"
Seeing that Jiang Liwu showed no interest in Gu Youchuan, Wei Xifeng realized that Gu Youchuan was not the person Jiang Liwu was looking for, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, "Who is the person you're looking for? I'll help you find them."
Jiang Liwu paused, looking at the bustling traffic outside and the golden glow of the setting sun in the distance, and said wistfully, "An old friend."
She knew that if Wei Xifeng were to search, he would definitely be able to find it, but Jiang Liwu shook her head, "No need to search anymore, we'll never see each other again anyway."
Jiang Liwu recalled the last time she traveled back twenty years to save the world, the words she said to the man: "Shang Tingyan, don't meet me again in the next life."
Therefore, in this life after the apocalypse ended and was restarted, twenty-year-old Jiang Liwu and Shang Tingyan had no interaction whatsoever and were complete strangers.
Jiang Liwu's eyes reddened slightly, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. She took a deep breath and gave Wei Xifeng a big smile, "Let's go home."
……
Xue Ling knocked on Qiao Yiran's door again and entered Qiao Yiran's room.
Seeing Qiao Yiran curled up like a small animal, hugging her knees, looking fragile and haggard, Xue Ling felt a pang of heartache and a surge of tenderness. "Miss."
Qiao Yiran looked up and saw that he had forced himself to be more energetic. She smiled at Xue Ling, but the smile was not very pleasant. "Xue Ling, you're here."
Xue Ling stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Yiran's thin shoulders tightly. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse as she said, "It was him, it was Wei Xifeng who forced you, right? You didn't want to risk your life to escape from his room."
Qiao Yiran's face stiffened for a moment, and she turned her face away, looking very embarrassed. She didn't want to tell Xue Ling the truth: she had asked Wei Xifeng for a favor and had taken the initiative to seduce him.
Qiao Yiran bit her lip, then suddenly covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, her whole body trembling, "Xue Ling, I'm so scared..."
At this moment, Qiao Yiran completely regarded him as a safe haven, relying on him wholeheartedly. Xue Ling was immediately filled with immense pity and pulled Qiao Yiran into his broad embrace, holding her tightly. He gritted his teeth, his eyes turning even redder like a wolf's, "That beast Wei Xifeng, he got you but didn't cherish you, forcing and humiliating you like this, and I can't do anything about it."
Qiao Yiran sobbed uncontrollably, "Xue Ling, I don't want you to see me in such a wretched state. You are the only one and the last person who still thinks I am the proud red rose I once was, but now I am no longer the red rose in your heart."
Xue Ling hurriedly said, "You are, you always have been, and that will never change, whether in the past, present, or future. It's not your fault."
Qiao Yiran leaned her head against Xue Ling's chest. She looked out the French windows and saw a black sedan winding along the mountain road, heading towards the manor villa. "Xue Ling, thank you. I have a request. Can you help me?"
"Tell me, I'll definitely help you with anything I can do," Xue Ling said solemnly, holding Qiao Yiran's hands.
Qiao Yiran cried out, "Xue Ling, take me away, take me away from here."
Xue Ling stood there stunned, then his eyes widened. After realizing what had happened, he was overjoyed and excited. "Miss, Yi Ran, are you really willing to come with me?" He hadn't expected Qiao Yi Ran to change her mind.
“Okay, I’ll take you away. I’ll take you out of here even if it costs me my life.” Xue Ling said firmly.
"Yiran, pack your things. We need to leave before Wei Xifeng comes back." Thinking of Wei Xifeng, Xue Ling felt the urgency of time, and an invisible pressure and crisis filled the air.
