Chen Hao had never thought that his trip to Willow City would have such a massive interlude.
As for the Shen Familyâs party and collaboration with Li Zhenguo, Chen Hao didnât ask about the details because he trusted Li Zhenguo in handling his business.
When the party ended, Chen Hao went back with Su Chuchu and her group.
âMiss Su, are you still angry with my previous blunder? Iâd always wanted to explain myselfâat that time, I mistook you for my girlfriend, Su Tongxin. Thatâs why I acted rashly,â Chen Hao looked at Su Chuchu and said.
When she was in such a precarious situation just now, she still stood forward to take the responsibility.
This had proven that she is an extremely kind person.
âSheâs not angry at all. If you want to, you can even do more than hugging her, I wouldââ Madam Su said excitedly.
However, without finishing her sentence, Su Chuchu seemed to know what her mother was thinking and looked at her resentfully.
Madam Su knew that she went overboard and stopped talking at once.
âMom, Young Master Chen wants to talk to sis privately. Stop interrupting them!â Su Ranran dragged their mother away.
âNo worries, it was completely the oppositeâIâm not angry at all. In fact, I want to thank you for telling me one thing!â she said, smiling.
Su Chuchu had never thought that the Young Master Chen whom she had once imagined was someone so elegant and so loyal to his love.
âHmph? What did I tell you?â Chen Hao asked, smiling.
âAll this while, Iâve always been thinking that this world is full of sexual desire, and that true love doesnât exist anymore because all forms of love are fake! I thought the love that men show toward women was just a decoy to get to her body. Iâve always been disappointed and lost in love,â Su Chuchu said.
âBut, that instant that you hugged me tightly, I could feel the love you have for this girl youâre looking for. Even though I didnât know you at that time, I could feel it! You must love this girl a lot, and you must be very afraid to lose her again. At that moment, I finally understood that thereâs still true love in this world. Iâm also very envious of that girlâTongxin, am I right?â Su Chuchu asked, looking at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao nodded.
âCan I ask you one more favor, Young Master Chen?â
âJust speak your mind! As long as itâs within my power, Iâll definitely help you!â
âI just wanted to hear the love story between you and Tongxin, is that alright?â
Chen Hao pondered for a while. Then, he started telling Su Chuchu their story.
Time passed quickly. Soon, Chen Hao finished telling her everything.
Su Chuchu nodded contentedly.
âI understand now. Love doesnât require much after all!â Su Chuchu laughed. âBy the way, you said you need a drop of my blood? Even though I have no idea how much it can help you, I have no problem giving it to you, as long as you need it!â
Su Chuchu then bit her index finger and a drop of blood flowed out.
After keeping it, Chen Hao looked at Su Chuchu gratefully.
âIf anything happens to you in the future, and you need my help, you can find me anytime. Thank you very much, Miss Chuchu!â
âIâm grateful to you too. Weâre friends now, so letâs stop thanking each other. Young Master Chen, from the bottom of my heart, I give my blessings to you. I hope you find Tongxin and you guys can meet each other soon. Remember to invite me to your wedding!â Su Chuchu said, with tears in her eyes.
âAlright! That day will definitely come. Thanks for your blessings!â
After finishing his sentence, Chen Hao turned around and left.
Su Chuchu, however, took a deep breath. When she saw Chen Haoâs leaving figure, her heart suddenly felt empty.
âSis, how did the conversation go?â
âYeah, Chuchu, why did he simply leave? Itâs been so difficult meeting him. Didnât you guys have any story?â her mom asked caringly.
âMom, even though Iâm moved by this guy, I know itâs impossible for us to be together, no matter how I try. He loves his girlfriend very much!â
Chen Haoâs elegance and the incident that happened between them had moved Su Chuchu.
But she knew very well that she stood no chance, so she could only give them her blessings from the bottom of her heart.
In the helicopter, while they were on their way to Jin Ling, Chen Hao asked Li Zhengguo, âAfter I left, is everything in Jin Ling okay?â
âEverythingâs fine! After you obliterated the Mo Family, I asked people to refurbish the Cloud Hill Mansion according to the original design. Now, it looks exactly the same as the original. As for Jin Ling Commercial Street and the Hot Spring Villa, we have already acquired them back. I went back to work in Jin Ling a year ago. Everythingâs all good there!â Li Zhenguo reported. âMiss Han Siyu had recovered after taking your prescription. By the way, sheâs no longer an influencer now. She has switched careers to be an actress. With her former popularity and our support, sheâs now one of the A-list celebrities.â
âThat's great! Oh right, what about Xiaonan?â
Chen Hao was concerned about her.
When they were bidding farewell the last time, he was under attack, and he didnât even know if he could make it out alive.
He thought they would never meet again.
However, since he went back this time, he was going to visit her.
Now that he got a drop of blood of the extreme Yin type, it was probably very difficult for Yun Qing to find him.
As long as he kept a low profile, it wasnât easy for her to track him down.
âInitially, I was planning to support Xiaonan to start her own company, and gave her a large amount of money. But she belongs to the type of girls who are straightforwardâshe said she didnât want to start a company, and rejected my money as well. In her opinion, thereâs not a lot of difference if she had more money. And the money that youâve given her is more than enough. Her goal is to become a teacher.
She had finished getting her teacherâs license and began teaching in a high school. I wanted to build a fancy school for her, but she rejected the idea as well!â Li Zhenguo shook his head and smiled wryly.
âXiaonan is always like this. She is different from those girls who could only see money in their minds.
Xiaonan never thought that money could make a lot of difference. Just like how she treated meâ
whether or not Iâm rich, she always takes me as her best friend!â The corners of Chen Haoâs lips lifted in satisfaction.
Li Zhenguo looked at Chen Hao. He wanted to say something, but he lowered his head instead.
âSpeak your mind!â Chen Hao looked at him.
âActually Xiaonan is a really nice girl. When you were in trouble, Xiaonan and Han Siyu rushed to the Southern Region to look for your news. When they were being forced by the Mo Family, Xiaonan and Han Siyu had suffered a lot!â
Chen Hao nodded heavily.
âEven until now, Xiaonan still keeps in touch with me every week. She always asks if there's any news about you every time, for the past eighteen months!â Li Zhenguo said.
A surge of gratitude flooded Chen Hao's eyes.
How could I not know Xiaonanâs feelings towards meâ¦
