Once, yes, they were good friends, good brothers, but now they love the same woman, so what method should they use to greet, be good friends, or love rivals.

"I don't think there's a need for the Hongmen Feast. If possible, I hope... We will not meet again. " After throwing those words, Gu Jing held Meng Yunhan's hand and walked away without looking back. The two of them got into the car one after the other, and in the end, disappeared from Yi Yuanze's line of sight.

Looking at their departing figures, Yi Yuanze coldly snorted, turned his head and walked into the office building, he muttered to himself: "That's right, I also hope that we will never meet again …"

From the moment Gu Jing and Meng Yunhan got on the carriage, they had a tacit understanding and never said a word to each other. Now, other than the sound of rain falling outside the window, the only thing that remained was each other's breathing.

With a sudden quick brake, Gu Jing parked the car by the side of the road. At this moment, he had a lot of bad emotions in his heart, and didn't want to continue driving. Meng Yunhan's body fiercely leaned forward, and soon after, she could only frown at the extremely ugly Gu Jing.

To the two of them, Yi Yuanze's appearance was outside of their expectations. Neither of them expected that their reunion with Yi Yuanze would take place under such circumstances, but this matter seemed to be within their expectations, because they knew very well that as long as they returned to their homeland, they would definitely meet each other again.

"He …"

"He …"

Perhaps they had suppressed each other's emotions for too long, or perhaps there was some so-called mutual understanding between them, but they had actually opened their mouths at the same time and said the same words. Even if it was only a single word, it was still a mutual understanding between them.

Gu Jing forced a smile to appear on his face and his lips were slightly agape. Before he could even speak the words that were about to leave his mouth, Meng Yunhan had already snatched a step away.

"He's the person I came to see on behalf of my father today. I'm sorry, I didn't know that the person my father asked me to meet today was him, I didn't know either …"

Meng Yunhan's anxious little expression unavoidably made people's hearts ache for him. Gu Jing pulled her into his embrace and tightly hugged her, wishing for nothing more than to rub her into his own blood and bones. Then, the worry and fear in his heart would not happen.

Even though the person he held in his embrace at this moment was Meng Yunhan, the person he deeply loved, he felt that it was a little unreal, because this was love that he exchanged with deception and betrayal. For this relationship, he had deceived Meng Yunhan for so many years, and also betrayed her former best brother.

All these years, Gu Jing often asked himself in his heart, if he had passed on the words Meng Yunhan had asked him to tell him to do to Yi Yuanze, one by one, did he still have that good brother by his side now? But if he had done that to Yi Yuanze, then this person in his embrace would probably never be able to be with him again in his entire life.

"It doesn't matter, you didn't do anything wrong. I just don't want you to get hurt again …" Gu Jing lightly patted Meng Yunhan's back as if she was comforting her. But to the current Gu Jing, it was something that he wanted to let himself feel at ease a little in this hug, as well as finding an excuse to convince himself that he had not chosen the wrong thing at that time.

"Let's go back." Meng Yunhan tried to struggle free from Gu Jing's embrace, but in the end, she realised that she was held even tighter by Gu Jing.

Gu Jing frowned slightly, closed his eyes and whispered into Meng Yunhan's ear. "Han Han Han, let's get married."

He was afraid that Meng Yunhan would leave his side, and was also afraid that the lie he told in the past would be exposed because of the appearance of this person. For the sake of this relationship, he had already given up on many things, and didn't want to be unable to protect the person he loved the most.

He did not want to wait any longer. Before Yi Yuanze appeared, he could wait as long as he wanted, but the situation was different now. He had to take the initiative, cut off all avenues for Meng Yunhan to know, and also prevent any possibility between Yi Yuanze and him.

Not knowing the reason, Meng Yunhan suddenly recalled Yi Yuanze's words, and regarding his only request, Meng Yunhan really did not know how she should explain it to Gu Jing.

In the end, Meng Yunhan still pushed Gu Jing away. The two of them looked at each other and had thousands of things to say in their hearts, but they didn't know where to begin.

After so many years, Meng Yunhan and Gu Jing's relationship seemed like a perfect match in the eyes of outsiders, but in the depths of their hearts, they were very clear that when Meng Yunhan desperately needed a shoulder to lean on and a person to silently accompany her, Gu Jing coincidentally had appeared beside her, so they were together. They had even always been deceiving themselves by believing that they had walked together because they loved each other, but their relationship could not be considered to be love.

"I …"

"You don't need to rush to answer. After all, I don't even have a proper marriage proposal. I just want you to know that I want to marry you. I want to accompany you for the rest of my life."

Meng Yunhan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but was stopped by Gu Jing. It was because Gu Jing did not want to hear Meng Yunhan's reply, and perhaps it was because he was afraid that Meng Yunhan would reject her offer. When he saw Yi Yuanze again, he already felt a sense of unease in his heart.

In Meng Yunhan's heart, she had told herself countless of times that she would definitely marry Gu Jing in the future, and the one who would accompany her throughout her entire life would definitely be Gu Jing. But now, when Gu Jing had proposed marriage to her, there was actually a trace of hesitation in her heart, whether it was out of the current situation or her true thoughts, Meng Yunhan knew very clearly that there was a voice in her heart telling her that she could not accept Gu Jing's proposal.

"Let's go eat." Gu Jing organized his emotions and started the car again.

Meng Yunhan suddenly held Gu Jing's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired, I want to go home."

At this time, not only was Meng Yunhan's body exhausted, her heart was tired as well. She needed a private space to digest the things that had happened in the short span of an afternoon.

Gu Jing placed Meng Yunhan's hand on her palm. He thought for a moment and said: "Han Han Han, I know that your heart is currently very chaotic, and you want to be alone, but I don't want you to be alone, and I don't want you to think too much. Let me accompany you, and you can treat me as if I don't exist, and I won't say a word.

Facing Gu Jing's hopeful eyes, Meng Yunhan seemed to have no courage to refuse, she could only nod her head and agree to her request.

"Come, I'll take you to a quiet place."

Meng Yunhan smiled and nodded. She did not seem to know how to reject Gu Jing's kindness, but it was only a way for her to rely on Gu Jing.

Seeing Meng Yunhan being carried away like that, although Yi Yuanze felt very uncomfortable in his heart, there was nothing he could do right now. Because before Meng Yunhan made her final decision, he was still that familiar stranger.

, who returned to his office, sat on a chair in a daze. The floor was a mess that had been flipped over by him, making the current him look somewhat dispirited. Outside the house was a dusky sky, and the current atmosphere was causing his thoughts to become a little lazy.

Yi Yuanze and Gu Jing had known each other since the first day of school, and at that time, they had thought that the other party was a good bro that they could help one out. But later on, Yi Yuanze didn't think that they would fall in love with a girl at the same time.

Although Yi Yuanze did not know why he had to go abroad without permission at the time, he was very clear that the person who accompanied Meng Yunhan abroad was not him, but Gu Jing. And the person who accompanied Meng Yunhan at the time was also not him, but Gu Jing, the feeling of having his brother betray him was still fresh in his mind, and he felt that he would never forget the pain that he had felt in his entire life. That was why he made such a choice today.

Yi Yuanze took out his phone and looked at the unfamiliar number on it. After thinking for a long time, he still dialed a number.

When Yi Yuanze's phone call came through, Gu Jing was sitting on the chair and looking at the stunned Meng Yunhan by the window. Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, Gu Jing didn't answer it immediately, but instead stared at the constantly flickering screen until the phone was hung up. Gu Jing didn't even pick up the phone, as if he had already realized in his heart that this strange number was something that he had rejected.

After failing to connect once, Yi Yuanze did not continue to make that call. However, all of Gu Jing's attention was focused on his own phone, his brows were knitted tightly, as though he was afraid that the phone would ring again, and was also looking forward to the call.

The current her was completely immersed in her own world. What his father Meng Zhiwen had said to her last night, what he had said to her in her office this morning, and what he had said to her in the car not too long ago, all of it seemed to have surfaced in her mind like a scene from a movie.

Currently, Meng Yunhan's heart was in a mess. Even though she had just made a solemn vow to Yi Yuanze not long ago that she would definitely not agree to his request, she felt like she had slapped her own face right now. She weighed it in her heart again and again, as if the answer she had received in the end was not as she had thought.

The warm palms that suddenly appeared from his waist disturbed Meng Yunhan's thoughts. Gu Jing carried her gently from behind, bent over her ear and said softly: "You have already stood for an entire afternoon, do you want to sit down and rest?"

Her chest felt very warm, and that kind of feeling was just too wonderful. Meng Yunhan was so greedy for that kind of beauty, it seemed that only when Gu Jing was by her side would she feel at ease, feeling that she was not alone, but some day later, Meng Yunhan realized that it was not love that she was dependent on.

"I want to go home …"

These four simple words came out of Meng Yunhan's mouth in a soft voice. Although she didn't want to leave Gu Jing's warm embrace, at this moment, she had more important things to confirm.
