Chapter 108: Feelings are never ordered by first come first served.
Seeing how familiar Cheng Haoxuan was with her parents and brother, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel curious: "What is your relationship with my parents?"
Cheng Haoxuan explained: "Our two families have always been in contact. Xingzhi and I were high school classmates."
One is the top chaebol in Country C, and the other is the largest arms dealer family in Country B. The two families have very close contacts.
"Then how did you two meet?" Gu Qingyue looked at Shang Yuze.
Cheng Haoxuan chuckled: "Of course Master Ze is also involved in gangs."
Gu Qingyue suddenly realized: "How could I have forgotten your identity?"
How could a gangster not need arms? If they needed arms, it would be natural for them to know the person in charge of the largest arms dealer family in Country B.
"You knew?" Cheng Haoxuan was still quite surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Shang Yuze also told Gu Qingyue about this matter.
Gu Qingyue nodded, looking at Shang Yuze with sparkling eyes: "Of course, I knew it a long time ago."
Cheng Haoxuan felt mixed emotions. It seemed that Gu Qingyue really liked Shang Yuze.
Since Gu Qingyue was here, Cheng Haoxuan was not in a hurry to leave and accepted the Ji family's invitation to stay here for one night.
At night, the sky was dark and thick, with dark clouds half covering the full moon, and even the passing wind was a little chilly.
Cheng Haoxuan tilted his head, his amber eyes reflecting the girl's charming and easygoing nature: "Yueyue, why did you choose Shang Yuze?"
Various emotions intertwined in his eyes, and he was eager to know the answer.
Gu Qingyue tucked her hair behind her ears and spoke slowly, "When I was desperate, it was Shang Yuze who saved me and gave me a home. He made me feel the warmth I hadn't felt in these 19 years."
"Why am I at my wit's end?" Cheng Haoxuan was shocked.
"In order to save the company, my adoptive parents drugged me and wanted to send me to an old man's bed." When talking about this matter now, Gu Qingyue's tone was flat, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Cheng Haoxuan's eyes were dark and murderous.
The people in the Gu family are really idle and have lived too long!
Gu Qingyue didn't notice the man's change and continued, "He could easily see through my heart. At that time, I was sensitive, lacking love, and insecure. He used his actions to tell me that he loved me."
"Everything I lacked in my childhood, he made up for it little by little."
Shang Yuze's love is long-lasting, like the spring rain that moistens everything silently, seeping into her life bit by bit and healing all her fears and anxieties.
His love made her a better person.
Cheng Haoxuan looked at her deeply, the emotions in his eyes surging and clamoring, but just as he was about to break through that line of defense, he suppressed it completely, turning it into a sigh: "It seems that I really don't understand you as well as he does."
Beneath her strong and optimistic appearance lay fear and anxiety, but he had never noticed it.
Gu Qingyue's eyes were bright and her features were delicate and radiant: "Master, thank you for teaching me hacking techniques. You will always be my master."
Cheng Haoxuan's heart ached deeply, but he still wore a gentle smile on his face: "If you call me Master, I will protect you for the rest of your life. If Shang Yuze treats you badly, remember to tell me and I will help you deal with him."
"I understand." Gu Qingyue changed the subject, "But I don't believe that day will ever come."
"Do you trust him so much?" Cheng Haoxuan was surprised.
Gu Qingyue smiled with her eyes curved, the corners of her lips raised, sweet but with a hint of shyness. Her glass-colored eyes seemed to contain a sea of stars, glittering and dazzling: "Of course, he is the man I love the most. We are going to spend our lives together, so I must trust him unconditionally."
When she lowered her head, her neckline tilted with her movement, revealing the blue diamond necklace inside her clothes.
Cheng Haoxuan's eyes paused as he looked at the sparkling blue diamond: "This necklace?"
Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "The last time I came to Country C, Shang Yuze bought it for me at an auction."
The curve at the corner of Cheng Haoxuan's lips was a little bitter.
It turned out that the person who bought the blue diamond at the auction was Shang Yuze.
The back figure he saw at that time was indeed Gu Qingyue.
He didn't get the blue diamond, and Gu Qingyue was destined not to belong to him.
After Gu Qingyue left, Cheng Haoxuan lit a cigarette. The thin smoke rose hazily, blurring the man's handsome face.
The night was cold, and his fingertips felt slightly chilled.
Before coming to the Ji family manor, he was very happy to go to China to find her and brought her many gifts.
But reality hit him hard. God really loves to play jokes on him.
The man's tall figure stopped beside him.
Cheng Haoxuan handed him a cigarette, his voice low and deep, hiding unknown emotions: "Yueyue fell asleep?"
"Yeah." Shang Yuze lit a cigarette. The man had sword-like eyebrows like ink, deep and narrow eyes, and impeccable facial features. The dim light made his eyebrows and eyes look a bit cold.
The voice was also faint, and no emotion could be heard.
Cheng Haoxuan took a deep drag on his cigarette, his tone sounding a little aggrieved, but mostly self-deprecating. "Shang Yuze, it was obviously me who met her first, but in the end, why was it you who stood by her side? God is so unfair."
Shang Yuze's eyes were calm, without even the slightest fluctuation: "Feelings never come first or last."
Cheng Haoxuan's voice was a little sad: "People who are in darkness have no right to yearn for light."
Shang Yuze's slender fingers held a cigarette, the scarlet flame on the cigarette butt flickering: "You already have power, you can go and find another light."
Cheng Haoxuan said nothing. He looked into the distance. The darkness was endless and everything in the world was solemn in this endless night.
The faint smell of tobacco filled the air, and the emotions in Cheng Haoxuan's eyes were obscure.
He glanced at Shang Yuze and said slowly, "Shang Yuze, when I met Yueyue, she was only fourteen years old. That day I had just cleaned up the discarded parts in the store and was about to throw them away."
"She just stood there, looking at me timidly, wanting to ask for the discarded parts in her hand."
The most common thing is summer, with the scorching sun and the noisy chirping of cicadas.
A girl in a blue and white school uniform and a high ponytail stood in front of her. Her eyebrows and eyes were young and tender, and her glass-colored eyes were clear and bright, spotless.
She said, "Brother, if you don't want this, can you give it to me?"
It was their first meeting and he didn't take it seriously.
Cheng Haoxuan's eyes were blank, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and his tone was filled with nostalgia.
"I was going to throw it away anyway, and there was no point in keeping it, so I gave it to her. A month later, she gave me a chip, saying it contained a program she had written. As long as I plugged the chip into the charging port, it would automatically restore my chat history from the past two months."
“That’s when I discovered her talent in computers.”
