This created a lot of topics for many people to talk about, and Huo zhongrao was pushed to the forefront of the storm.
Huo zhongrao clenched the lighter in his hand. He knew that the little demon loved him.
He had once wanted to be with her regardless of everything, but now, everyone was criticizing him for developing feelings for a girl who was more than ten years younger than him.
And she was his adopted daughter in nameâ¦
He wondered if he had been too selfish.
âSheâs also stronger than you think!â Ji Chenzhou glanced at Huo zhongrao as he stood up.
Gu Jue had just finished cooking when Ji Chenzhou returned to Gu Jueâs house.
He pretended not to see Ji Chenzhou when he saw him. His attitude and gaze made it seem as if he had seen his useless and irksome son.
Ji Chenzhou ignored him. He changed his shoes and went to the washroom to wash his hands. Then, he turned around and went to the dining room to have his meal. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Chenzhou buried his head in his food and did not care that no one was at the table.
When Chu baiqing entered, Ji Chenzhou had already finished his bowl of rice. He didnât even bother scooping up the rice, he just grabbed the bowl of rice beside him and started eating.
The empty bowl was placed asideâ¦
Little seven and little nine were sleeping, so the dining room was very quiet.
When Gu Jue came out with the soup, he saw Ji Chenzhou gobbling down the rice.
â Eat, eat, eat, eat until you die!â Gu Jue placed the soup on the table with a big movement.
Ji Chenzhou did not even lift his head and continued to eat.
With a big mouthful of vegetables and a big mouthful of rice, he finished a bowl of rice in a few mouthfuls.
He put the bowl aside, stood up, and took the bowl of rice opposite him.
Gu Jue was so angry that he smacked his head with his chopsticks.
âDonât you know how to get your own rice?â
The three of them had three bowls of rice, and they all ended up in Ji Chenzhouâs stomach.
Gu Jue did not go easy on him, but Ji Chenzhou did not have any reaction. He continued to eat.
Chu baiqing sat down, frowning as he watched Ji Chenzhou gobble down the food.
Chu baiqing was well aware of Ji Chenzhouâs appetite. It was only one bowl of rice, but he had already eaten three bowls of riceâ¦
Ji Chenzhou only lifted his head when he had finished the last mouthful of rice in his third bowl. He stretched out his bowl and looked at the angry Gu Jue. father, one more bowl!
âAre you f. eking looking forâ¦â Gu Jue stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence.
She looked at Ji Chenzhouâs Red eyes and tightly clenched jaw. The veins on his forehead were faintly moving.
Gu Jueâs heart trembled violently. What was wrong with his third son? was he trying not to cryâ¦
Chu baiqing was shocked as well. Seeing Ji Chenzhou like this, he knew that it must have something to do with that Ren.
It had been more than a week since the two of them had quarreled. He had called that Ren, and that Ren had said that they had broken upâ¦
She told him not to worry, that he was fine now, and that he would come to see them in a few days.
Chu baiqing could tell that Ren wasnât in a good state.
The path that the two of them had to take was destined to be much more difficult than that of him and Gu Jue.
However, Chu Bai Qing believed that they could overcome it because they loved each other deeply.
âThat⦠Donât eat rice, drink some soup!â
Gu Jueâs heart ached for his third son. Although he always criticized him, the kind of heartache he felt was from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Jue scooped a bowl of soup for Ji Chenzhou and even blew on it a few times before placing it in front of him.
you f * eking drink slowly⦠Ji Chenzhou picked up the bowl and started drinking. Gu Jue shouted at him angrily.
Three bowls of rice and congee, her stomach was about to burstâ¦
father, mother, Iâm free hereâ¦
Ji Chenzhou used his finger to point at his heart, again and againâ¦
It was as if that place had been hollowed out. He shouted Renâs name in his heart, but he did not get any response other than echoâ¦
It was clearly empty, but it was filled with love.
This contradictory feeling caused his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs to hurt. It was so painfulâ¦
He loved Naren, he loved him very muchâ¦
The love between men was not sweet, but intense.
It was intense at all times, so once it was about to be extinguished, it was unacceptableâ¦
Ji Chenzhouâs pain could not be described with words.
He couldnât give up on walking, because it wasnât just his problem now. There were more than one or two people standing behind himâ¦
He was well aware of Renâs stubbornness and he would not back down on this matter.
âI want to tie that Ren to my sideâ¦â
Ji Chenzhou mumbled to himself. Although he was talking to Chu baiqing and Gu Jue, he was still very calm.
However, he was also saying it to himself. If it was in the past, he would definitely do it without hesitation.
But now, he could only think about it and did not dare to do itâ¦
Yes, he didnât dare toâ¦
âIf you do that, you and Ren will never be together again, unless you tie him up for the rest of his life!â
Chu baiqingâs words were firm. If Ji Chenzhou dared to do this now, he would lose his heart even if he had to keep that person by his side.
Ji Chenzhou understood this point better than anyone else.
Iâm so f * eking cowardlyâ¦
Ji Chenzhou put down his bowl and cupped his face with both hands. He had once said that he would protect Ren for the rest of his life.
However, she did not expect to hurt him at this timeâ¦
He had never thought that Ren would care so much about what he had done.
He also knew that Ren was afraid that he would be in danger and dieâ¦
However, this was a path that he had to walk even if he died.
how many people want your life? have you ever thought that if Ren is with you, his life will also be the target of others? he is your weakness. If he dies, you wonât be able to live either.
Chu baiqing was speaking the truth, and he had to make this clear to Ji Chenzhou.
As for how he would choose, that was his own problem.
He wouldnât tell him to give up his hatred and those who followed him and live a good life with Naren!
If Ji Chenzhou did as he was told, then one day, Ji Chenzhou would regret not overthrowing his father and allowing Ji Jiu to take over, causing him to be unhappy for the rest of his life. No one would be able to bear this responsibility.
In the current situation, no one knew what the future would be likeâ¦
He couldnât say that it was best for him to just break up with Ren.
This was forcefully breaking up two people who were in love, and he would not doit.
All the decisions had to be made by Ji Chenzhou himself before he had to accept and bear the responsibility.
However, no matter which decision he made, it was a torment for Ji Chenzhou.
Chu baiqing had also thought of persuading na Ren to stay by Ji Chenzhouâs side and accompany him on this journey.
However, there would be two other results.
The first was that Ji Chenzhou had won and he had done everything he had wanted to do.
In the end, he and Naren got together happily.
The other possibility was that if Ji Chenzhou died, then na Ren would not be able to live either. In fact, it could be said that everyone who followed Ji Chenzhou would not be able to live either.
This was not a small business war or guild War. Ji Chenzhou wanted to bring down the president and the power behind him.
There was one thing that no one else knew except him. Why was Ji Chenzhou so determined to bring down his father?
This was also one of the reasons why he could not persuade Ji Chenzhou to give up.
âAs long as I donât die, even if I have to kneel and beg him, I will still beg him to return!â
Ji Chenzhou understood everything. He understood everythingâ¦
Ji Chenzhou cried and his body trembled. It was a difficult decision for him to make. It was too difficultâ¦
His Renâ¦
father will keep an eye on him for you. I guarantee that he wonât be with anyone elseâ¦
Iâll bring him home tomorrow. Your stepmother and I will stay with him. We wonât let him feel bad and weâll take good care of him, okay? â
Gu Jueâs tone was soft and gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
Gu Jue could not bear to see his third son like this. He was quite hungry when the meal was ready.
However, she was not hungry at all and had no appetite at all.
Previously, he had thought that things were quite simple. He had thought that when Ren calmed down, the two of them would make up.
Naren would accompany Ji Chenzhou and finish what he had to do.
However, after his Chu baiqing had analyzed the situation for him, he realized that na Ren was the most dangerous person to be by Ji Chenzhouâs side. He was Ji Chenzhouâs weak spot and everyone who wanted to kill Ji Chenzhou knew about thisâ¦
No matter how powerful they were, they couldnât predict everything.
Whatâs more, now big brotherâs first priority was to be deprived of powerâ¦
His third brotherâs business was also affected, although these were not enough to shake their Foundation.
However, if this continued, who knew what other accidents would happen?
âHeâs living with another man nowâ¦â
I even went out to have fun with a woman todayâ¦
Ji Chenzhouâs words were filled with sourness, and there were still silent tears on his face.
The sight of Ji Chenzhou in this state made oneâs heart ache. Such a devilish and arrogant man was now in such a pitiful and helpless state.
âHeâs the best!â
Chu baiqing said lightly. It was really for the best that Ren could do thisâ¦
It was better than he had imaginedâ¦
His Ren was really disobedient. He couldnât bear to be punished, but he couldnât be punished. They broke upâ¦
well, itâs good. I think itâs good too â¦
as long as I donât die, Iâll definitely beg him to come backâ¦
âIâll definitely ask for it backâ¦â
Ji Chenzhou mumbled to himself as he cried, laughed, and was in painâ¦
It was as if he was drunk and his consciousness was not clear.
So when he said, â I want to marry little demon⦠Chu baiqing and Gu Jue didnât know how to react when they heard this.
I promised na Ren that I would only marry him in this life. I told everyone that I wanted to marry him. Although master Xiu didnât agree verbally, he acquiesced. I wanted to marry himâ¦
âBut, i f * eking⦠F * eking⦠Youâre not a man anymoreâ¦â
This time, Ji Chenzhou had already cried out loud. All his sobs were filled with deep guilt towards na Ren.
That kind of guilt was like a vine, wrapping around his limbs and bones, making him feel painâ¦
âWho did you say you were going to marry?â It was only then that Gu Jue realized that Ji Chenzhou had just said that he wanted to marry the little demon.
