Chapter 321
Nangong Hao smiled bitterly helplessly, his heart full of bitterness and regret.
"I never expected that the so-called 'partner' that I randomly found just to avoid unnecessary trouble would actually become a huge obstacle in my pursuit of true love!"
If Ouyang hadn't revealed the truth today, he would probably never understand why Xia Ruoan resolutely rejected him back then.
"What you did in the first place was totally wrong."
"If you really don't like a girl, just express your attitude openly and directly and reject her."
"Why go to so much trouble and spend money to find someone to pretend to be your girlfriend in order to fend off so many romantic interests? Only you can think of such a ridiculous idea!" Ouyang glared at him unhappily and scolded him mercilessly.
After hearing this, Nangong Hao couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating smile: "Yeah, who says it isn't? In the end, the woman he loves regards him as a shameless person who doesn't want to take responsibility. It's really ridiculous when you think about it..."
"But then again, I did feel really annoyed at the time. I had never planned on having a relationship during college."
"However, it was Xia Ruoan's sudden appearance that completely disrupted my plans and ideas."
At this point, a gentle smile unconsciously emerged on Nangong Hao's face, as if he was recalling the beautiful scene when he first met Xia Ruoan.
"Really, I still remember clearly the first time I saw her."
"At that first glance, I fell deeply in love with this girl. In my eyes, she is simply perfect. Both her appearance and temperament exude an irresistible charm."
"Even though I was ruthlessly rejected by her later, I still felt that she was different, with a distinct personality and unique style." Nangong Hao smiled and slowly expressed the sincere and deep emotions in his heart.
"Especially when I found out that you actually cared about her so much, that damn desire to win started to spread wildly in my heart like weeds."
"So, from that moment on, no matter how many rejections I encountered, I always persisted in chasing her footsteps."
"However, every time I confessed my feelings to her, the response I got was always the same - she would tell me in such a gentle but firm tone: "Thank you for your love, you are really good."
"To be honest, I have never met anyone as gentle and kind as her. Even if I am not tired of it and launch a fierce offensive one after another, the first sentence she says is always this polite and courteous sentence."
"Sometimes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has been fed up with me for a long time. But even so, she will never get angry easily, let alone say a single harsh word to me."
"So much so that for a long time, I couldn't help but wonder: What can I do to make this good-tempered girl angry?"
"Ouyang, I'll tell you the truth. My feelings for Ruo'an are just as deep and hard to let go as your feelings for Ling'er."
"Others may have some qualifications to persuade me to give up this hopeless unrequited love, but you alone cannot! After all, you saw how hard I pursued Ruo'an at that time, and I can guarantee with all my heart that my feelings were absolutely sincere and without any falsehood."
"So, unless one day you completely let go of Ling'er, don't try to convince me to give up Ruo'an!"
At this point, Nangong Hao let out a long sigh, his face full of loneliness and helplessness.
Hearing this, Ouyang's face darkened and he warned solemnly: "Nangong Hao, you'd better sober up!"
"Right now, Ruo'an is living a very happy and fulfilling life. You should not disturb her peaceful life that she has finally had because of your own selfish desires.
If you insist on having your own way and continue to pester me, you will only end up hurting others and yourself!"
"She is living a happy life now. I believe anyone with eyes can see that."
Ouyang said with a worried look on his face, seeming still a little uneasy about the current situation.
However, Nangong Hao shook his head gently and responded calmly: "You are really worrying too much. I really like her. I can even say that I hope she can be happy more than anyone else."
"Even if I'm not the one who stays with her in the end, so what? When she chose to be with Zhou Mufan, if I had any desire to fight for her, I would have taken action long ago."
At this point, Nangong Hao paused for a moment, and then his tone became a little heavy: "However, it is impossible to say that I have no regrets at all."
"After all, facing an opponent as strong as Leng Zexi, I know that no matter how hard I try, I can't compete with him. I can accept the result of this contest willingly."
"But when I think of that despicable and shameless villain Zhou Mufan, my heart is filled with resentment!"
"He actually used such despicable means to deceive Juan for three whole years, and Juan suffered three years of injustice in vain. Every time I think of this, I feel furious."
At this moment, Nangong Hao clenched his fists unconsciously, and his eyes revealed deep resentment.
Hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at Nangong Hao with a smile and asked: "So, the subsequent decline of the Zhou family and the acquisition of their company should have been intentional by you, right?"
Nangong Hao sneered and nodded without hesitation, admitting: "Yes, it was me! I am not like you who watched Zhou Mufan make his final dying struggle."
"For this kind of sinister and cunning person, I will be merciless and make him lose everything directly and completely disappear from this world!"
"Before this, the conceited Zhou Mufan always relied on his prominent family background and strong financial strength to look down on everyone, especially Ruoan."
"But what about now? I'm going to let him experience the feeling of falling from the top to the bottom of the valley, and make him look down on himself!"
Now Zhou Mufan has fallen to the point where he can only rely on women to make his fortune, but even so it is of no avail. In the end, not only did he fail to rise successfully, but he lost all his money.
Thinking of this, Nangong Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart, and was very satisfied with Zhou Mufan's current miserable end.
Seeing this, Ouyang, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows slightly and understood in his heart: This is indeed in line with Nangong Hao's usual style of doing things.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang asked, "Then do you plan to go find Ruoan and explain the reason? After all, what you did to her at that time seemed a bit like hooliganism."
"If you feel embarrassed to ask, how about I do it for you?"
However, Nangong Hao shook his head without hesitation and flatly refused: "No need, just let it go and let her continue to think that way."
"Once she knows the truth, she will feel guilty for misunderstanding me."
Hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of surprise, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to be serious this time!"
You know, he used to be an out-and-out playboy and never took women seriously.
But now you are so attentive to Ruo'an, it's really unexpected!"
Facing his friend's surprise, Nangong Hao gave a helpless wry smile and said self-deprecatingly: "In fact, my feelings for Ruo'an have always been serious, and there has never been any false or perfunctory intention."
"It's a pity that fate plays such a trick on us. We always miss each other by accident..." At this point, Nangong Hao's eyes gradually dimmed, revealing a trace of unspeakable regret and loneliness.
"So what are you thinking? Are you really planning to be like me and never get married and start a family from now on?" Ouyang looked at the other person with difficulty, thinking secretly in his heart.
Based on his understanding of the person in front of him, the elders in his family must be urging him to get married soon and have children.
Nangong Hao shook his head gently and responded slowly: "I don't have such an idea for the time being, but in a year or two, I guess I will have to follow my family's arrangement and get married. We just need to get what we need from each other."
Hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help but frowned, "I say, how can you still have such thoughts?"
"You can either find some girls to get along with first, or if you meet someone who shares your feelings with you, you can be together, and then you can let go of Ruoan completely."
"Don't be obsessed with Ruo'an while running off to marry another woman. Wouldn't that be hurting both yourself and others?" These words sounded a bit harsh, but there was a reason for them.
However, Nangong Hao didn't seem to care about this. Instead, he replied indifferently, "I can give the woman everything except feelings."
"If she is willing to accept, then we can get married. If she is not willing, then forget it. I don't care anyway."
"At worst, I can just let my parents have another child. My mother is not yet 50 years old, so it should be feasible for her to have another child." After saying that, he turned to look at Ouyang, a barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Nangong Hao couldn't help but sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not as lucky as you! Ningning has been determined as your successor very early, and I still haven't found a suitable candidate to inherit the family business."
His words revealed envy and melancholy.
Ouyang's mouth twitched. "Your mother is almost fifty years old, and you still want her to give birth to a child. She is an elderly mother, right? Aren't you afraid that your father will kick you out of the house?"
"My dad won't do that. My grandparents and my mom love me. If he wants to drive me away, he will be the first to leave." Nangong Hao said affirmatively.
