"...I have no resentment or hatred, only regret that I didn't get to see you one last time before I left!"
"...I hate myself for knowing your love for me too late, I hate myself for watching you walk into the Yellow Springs helplessly, I hate myself for not being able to do anything for you for the sake of all living beings!"
"...The happiest thing is the time I spent with you, having Xiaotao with you, and being able to protect you in the end!"
"...Even if I were to yearn for you and atone with my soul, hoping to be by your side just to see you one more time, it would all be in vain!"
"...Naive and romantic, yet foolish and ignorant, you and Xiaotao have sacrificed so much for me."
"...I don't regret waiting for you, because I know you're waiting for me in the same way!"
"...I've forgotten how I got through those days, I was in a daze, and in the end I couldn't suppress my longing for you..."
"...You were in so much pain and I didn't even notice. You're such a fool. Why didn't you tell me when it hurt so much...Even if there were bullets and bombs, I wouldn't be afraid with you by my side. But without you, even sweet words tasteless to me!"
Hua Baixian stood there blankly, her memory inexplicably filled with scenes that moved and pained her.
"Xiao Li..." Hua Baixian's tears fell drop by drop, "I want to find him, I want to find him!"
In the darkness of night, I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but when I turned around, he was nowhere to be found.
Hua Baixian wandered aimlessly through the streets, searching for the figure from her memory. But with billions of people and hundreds of cities in the world, where could she possibly find him?
As dawn broke, the streets gradually emptied, the streetlights went out one by one, and only her solitary figure walked in the cold wind…
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, carrying the smell of alcohol, and a drunk man carrying a bottle of liquor walked towards them.
Seeing that Hua Baixian looked unhappy, the man blocked her way, leering at her and saying, "Hehe, little sister, you have a great figure. Want to have a drink with your uncle? Uncle's rich! A million won't be a problem!"
Hua Baixian was already in a bad mood, and who knew she would run into this drunkard! Just as she was about to punch him to show him the power of a tough woman in this era, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind her and pulled her behind him. "This is my girlfriend, what do you want?"
Seeing someone interfering with his attempt to pick up a girl, the drunkard angrily retorted, "Your girlfriend? Out strolling the streets in the middle of the night, she must be a woman who does *that* kind of work, right?"
"You'd better show some respect! Otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, the drunkard raised his hand and smashed the bottle on the man's head. It shattered instantly, and Hua Baixian saw blood flowing down the man's head and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
"You want to talk to me about respect? Kid, you probably don't know where I work!" the drunk man said arrogantly.
The man swayed slightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists. Your behavior is not that of a gentleman!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! What era are we living in? You're still talking to me about gentlemen? Do you think you're some ancient nobleman?" The drunken man laughed loudly. "Let me tell you, I'm going to beat you up today, what are you going to do about it? Go ahead and arrest me if you dare! I'm rich and powerful, you can't afford to offend me!"
Hua Baixian was furious upon hearing this. Were the rich and powerful really this arrogant these days? Was there no law anymore? It seemed she had no choice but to take action!
Just as Hua Baixian rolled up her sleeves, ready to uphold justice, a bright light shone from afar, blinding her.
The drunkard squinted and turned his head, saying irritably, "Who is it? Turning on your high beams at such close range! Do you want to die?!"
The car headlights turned off their high beams, and a group of men in black got out. The man in the lead was wearing a burgundy suit, but his face was obscured by the lighting.
"Old Ma, what are you doing?"
The drunkard's face changed upon hearing the voice, and he hurriedly ran over and said, "Young Master Chen, I, I just drank too much, and it's so late I couldn't find a designated driver, so I was just about to go home..."
The man called Young Master Chen squinted and coldly said, "Old Ma, are you blind?"
Old Ma cautiously began, "Young Master Chen, I don't know where I've offended you, could you..."
"Open your eyes wide and see clearly who you're hitting!" Young Master Chen pointed at the man standing there and said.
Hearing Chen Shao's words, Hua Baixian also looked curiously at the man who had saved her. Even though his face was covered in blood, it couldn't hide his flawless appearance. Hua Baixian gasped and exclaimed, "Xiao Li!"
Hearing Hua Baixian call his name, Gu Liyan frowned slightly and glared at her. He then turned to Ma Laoqi and said, "I saw a powerful person at the banquet just now, but I didn't expect that Boss Ma would show his power so soon after leaving the banquet!"
"Young Master Mo, I'm so sorry, I really drank too much, I didn't know it was you!" Old Ma was almost crying.
"Do you know how many billions I insured my face?" Gu Liyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his face, which had several cuts.
Ma Laoqi was so frightened that his mouth went dry. "Young Master Mo, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
Gu Liyan sneered, "I have to film a scene this morning. How am I supposed to appear looking like this? It would cause so much damage!"
"I'll pay! I'll pay even if it means going bankrupt!" Old Ma gritted his teeth and pleaded, "Please, Young Master Mo, let me go! Please!"
Gu Liyan turned her head away. "Chen, you decide. I'm tired and I'm going back to rest."
Mo Chen chuckled and said to his henchmen, "Alright! Take Boss Ma back—to check the accounts!"
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Ma Laoqi's expression changed, and he hurriedly cried out, "Don't check the accounts! Young Master Mo, Young Master Chen, I can give you the money, please don't check the accounts!"
