Chapter 21 21 "...Of course." Fu Yunlu's eyes...
"...Of course." Fu Yunlu stared at Liang Guanyue with cold eyes, then smiled and said, "But those are too far away from you now, don't think about them."
"For my brother, the future of getting married and having children isn't too far away."
"What do you want to say?"
Liang Guanyue lowered his eyes and said, "You want to mark me, want to have sex with me. Although I'm afraid of all this, I... like you, and I'll probably agree in the end." His fingers clenched the corner of his clothes and whispered, "But when I think about the future, I'm willing to do all this for you, but I'll be abandoned by you no matter what. Watching you marry another omega... I'll feel so ridiculous."
"Fu Yunlu, after all, is it because I don't like you enough? That's why I can't help but care about these things."
Fu Yunlu frowned slightly. He had just finished a busy day and wanted to come over to see how Liang Guanyue was doing today. He didn't expect that they would start to quarrel while talking.
He rubbed his temples, but couldn't think of a good response. Liang Guanyue was right. He had forced Liang Guanyue into this relationship, using his own abundant wealth to force an orphan like Liang Guanyue, who had nothing of value to offer, to offer her body as a token of support.
For Liang Guanyue, this was an unprofitable deal. With his education and academic performance, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to secure a respectable and bright future in the main city. But having met him, he was inevitably drawn into the trap of a 'money-for-sex' transaction.
Besides, Fu Yunlu didn't want to break up with him in the future. At least not now. At least now, he still had enough interest in him.
Fu Yunlu stroked Liang Guanyue's hand and said gently, "Do you remember what you said last time about starting a business after graduation? I will use all my power and connections to help you, okay?"
Liang Guanyue stared at him blankly, the neon lights outside the window swaying across his face. Fu Yunlu saw a tear fall from his eye. The pity rising in his heart drew him to a kiss. Fu Yunlu carefully and gently placed his hand against Liang Guanyue's forehead, solemnly swearing like a knight: "Liang Guanyue, whenever you ask me for help, I will help you."
His thumb gently wiped away the tears on Liang Guanyue's face, "I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Liang Guanyue sniffed, opened her arms and hugged Fu Yunlu's waist tightly, her face pressed against his shoulder, and choked out, "...I don't want to be a mistress."
Fu Yunlu was stunned for a moment, then consoled her, "How could I bear to let you do something like this?" Even though he had had this thought some time ago, "If we ever break up, I'll just help you like a brother, isn't that okay?"
Liang Guanyue carelessly wiped her tears on his neck. Fu Yunlu felt itchy and patted his back, smiling helplessly: "Okay, okay, I originally wanted to come and take you home, but I didn't expect you to cry because of me."
Fu Yunlu lowered his head, looked at the person resting his head on his shoulder, and asked, "Is your birthday coming soon?"
Liang Guanyue calculated and found that the date was indeed approaching. He said, "Actually... I don't usually celebrate my birthday."
"Why?"
Because Liang Guanyue felt that this day was no different from any other day.
However, his susceptible period was close to his birthday, so Liang Guanyue had to tell some appropriate lies to make Fu Yunlu soft-hearted towards her during that susceptible period.
He said, "Because my father left me and my mother on my birthday, I have never seen him since then."
"Didn't you think of going to see him?"
Liang Guanyue shook her head and said honestly, "To be honest, I can't remember what he looked like. All I remember is his face when my mother died and held my hand."
Liang Guanyue frowned, not knowing how to comfort him. She could only hold him tighter in her arms, stroke his hair, and whispered, "If you want to see your father, I'll help you."
"Not everyone is worthy of the title 'father,'" Liang Guanyue said. "Whether he's dead or alive, it's no longer my concern."
It seems that the alpha father is not a good guy. Fu Yunlu looked at the buildings jumping one after another outside the car window. Why couldn't Liang Guanyue grow up in such a prosperous main city?
It seems that equality in humanity has always been manifested only at the moment of birth and death. Once a person is separated from the mother of life, there is no safe haven. Only when death comes does the equality that people pursue slowly return home.
"What are you thinking about?" Liang Guanyue tilted her head, staring straight at Fu Yunlu's profile, and said, "Are you thinking about me?"
"...Yeah." Fu Yunlu lowered her head and looked at him, smiling with her eyes curved, "I was thinking about you."
Liang Guanyue asked, "When you think about my past life, will you feel pity for me?"
"Would you be mad if I said yes?"
"No. I accept all the pity from others." Liang Guanyue held his hand and said, "Especially those who love me."
Fu Yunlu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you think... I love you?"
Liang Guanyue chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. I think it's enough that you love me."
Fu Yunlu placed his hand on her lips and kissed it. Unusually, she hesitated. "...I might...do like you a little."
This level of liking is if he was not a prince, but just a rich or ordinary person, then he would start planning his future with Liang Guanyue to be together for a long time at this moment.
This level of affection, appearing in Fu Yunlu, seemed precious, but in reality it was insignificant. Power, self, family... everything was above Liang Guanyue.
In a person's life, there are so many things that are more important than so-called "true love".
Fu Yunlu said, "Liang Guanyue, what do you think is in your heart that you cannot give up?"
Liang Guanyue thought about it and told the truth: "Alive."
He didn't know why, but at this moment, he inexplicably thought of his mother's eyes looking at him before she died. Liang Guanyue had never felt sad about the death of his last relative. Everyone will reach that point one day, and his mother just walked faster than others.
Besides, happiness is not the same as being alive. His mother left this world that made her so miserable first, which made Liang Guanyue happy for the person he was most familiar with and respected.
Fu Yunlu smiled helplessly: "Of course...what else?"
"Besides that?" Liang Guanyue remained silent for two seconds before answering honestly, "Not only to live, but to live well. This was my mother's wish before she died."
Liang Guanyue felt he had fulfilled his mother's dying wish—even though he was helpless, young, and weak, on a jumbled jumble of junk planets, he had never encountered a single helping hand without a purpose. Yet, he never allowed himself to be bullied or oppressed, never allowing himself to fall into depravity. He successfully escaped that cannibalistic prison, arrived in the most prosperous main city, and began a brand new life.
"Little brat." Fu Yunlu held his face in her hands and asked doubtfully, "Besides survival, don't you have any other desires and wants?"
"Desire and longing?" Liang Guanyue was stunned for a moment, then she curled her eyes and smiled. Since Fu Yunlu wasn't interested in the truth, she decided to tell a nice lie instead: "Yes, I like you. I want to be with my brother forever and start a family. That way, I won't be alone."
Liang Guanyue supported herself with her hands and pressed forward, pushing Fu Yunlu against the car door and kissing his lips. After a while, she pulled away a little, looking at him with her emerald green eyes, and said, "Brother, other than this, I have no other request."
