Lu Fan devoted his entire life to this, although he noticed a subtle change in their relationship after their last return.

However, he wasn't too clear about the affairs between women, so he decided to leave the question to Jiang Manyue for now.

Whatever their identities or relationships become, it won't have much impact on him.

"Jiang Manyue and I have already contacted each other. From now on, we can just be brother and sister."

He agreed to it himself, but as his older brother, you'll have to take care of me from now on.

Hearing this, Lu Fan was somewhat surprised. He looked at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression, and several thoughts popped into his mind.

However, he saw each of these thoughts as a questioning of the present situation.

He had no doubt that it was written entirely by the person in front of him.

"Why don't you even believe what I say? You were different back then. You took intelligence and related information from me."

Now that they don't need me anymore, my words have no authority whatsoever.

Lu Fan shook his head. This matter was not true, and this way one could naturally understand the change between the two.

"No, but are you really planning to maintain this kind of relationship? The contrast is too great, and I can't accept it for the time being."

Lu Fanqing could earn the money, and he also wanted to go back and confirm with Jiang Manyue, but looking at the person in front of him, he also had some doubts.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, Nangong Qi seemed to have noticed the change on the field. He looked outside the school and then shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, he also realized that Lu Fan was ultimately a henpecked husband, or perhaps after experiencing so many things, he realized that he could no longer try as hard as he did, nor could he adopt the same attitude as Jiang Manyue.

"Actually, I understand that Jiang Manyue values ​​our current relationship, whether it's your group or the Nangong family."

Currently, we are all on a united front. If our relationship becomes too strained, it will not be conducive to future development.

Hearing the other party say this, Lu Fan nodded. This was indeed the situation they were facing.

He also understood that Jiang Manyue had compromised with him because of this matter.

However, it was precisely because of this situation that a slight distance was created between them. Lu Fan looked at the other party, and at this moment he had some doubts in his heart.

"I want to know what you think about this. You don't need to worry about anything else, just follow your heart."

Even though things are generally going as planned, I still want to ask for your opinion on this matter.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qi, who was standing nearby, hesitated. He didn't know what to say in response to Lu Fan's question.

Or perhaps, after experiencing so many things, his heart has undergone considerable changes, and even now, when looking at the same things, he has different thoughts.

After saying all this, he looked at Lu Fan and then expressed his opinion.

"No matter what happened, this is the best outcome right now. In my opinion, this matter should have ended a long time ago; it was just a farce to begin with."

Or perhaps at this moment he felt an age he had never experienced before, not only looking to the side, but also completely relaxed.

He also understood very well that after doing this for so long, it was time to make a change.

Just like the current situation, it has subtly changed her initial thoughts.

However, just as he finished speaking, that one last trace of rebellion in his heart resurfaced.

Her gaze fell upon Lu Fan, and a glint of unprecedented brilliance flashed in her eyes.

“I know it’s time for us to end things, but I don’t know how to tell you this, just like when he told me he wanted to mend our relationship.”

I don't want to change my mind now because of family interests.

At this moment, Nangong Qi completely erupted, looking at Lu Fan and constantly expressing his innermost feelings.

After all, he had endured all of this alone for so long, cooking, fighting within his family and the company, and finally choosing to compromise.

Or perhaps that's the best outcome, or perhaps that's the view he's always wanted, but now he understands that achieving this much is enough.

All of these things have come to an end under her leadership.

"I don't regret anything I've done, nor do I regret knowing you. Even if everything was carefully planned, even if it was all destined, it doesn't matter."

After saying all this, he looked at Lu Fan and a smile appeared on his lips. Perhaps at this moment, this was the real her.

Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want his own tiny thoughts to change the current situation.

He also didn't want to change the other person because of his own selfishness.

"That's right. Seeing your own path clearly is more important than anything else. This is also your own idea, so just follow it."

...

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass next to him and looked at Nangong Qi in front of him. At this moment, he understood very well that this ending between the two of them was what everyone wanted.

This was exactly what he had been dreaming of.

No one can see clearly where things will go next; they just have to keep moving forward based on their own inner thoughts, and that's what everyone wants.

"To your new life, and to the best of our current collaboration."

Only then did Nangong Qi realize that Lu Fan's question and everything else had just been an unintentional wake-up call for him.

Each of these events made him fully understand that this was a battle between the two of them, and also a testament to their mutual understanding.

"I have to say you're right. There are some things that we always hope will have a result, but when we actually face them, we always feel that nothing is quite right."

At this moment, both of them were completely at peace. What followed was just casual conversation, but they deliberately avoided mentioning their current relationship. Or rather, they had already reached a consensus earlier, and every event now seemed to serve as a prelude.

This became the foundation for everything they did next.

"See you tomorrow. If you need work, my sister hasn't returned yet and I'll need someone to help her for a while."

I have high hopes for you; your abilities are captivating in every aspect.
