The man who came to pick her up was Lin Mingjue, and when he first left, he would still see her from time to time, because she had failed her mission and carried a deep and shallow wound, so she was sent back to her training. However, even if she was sent back because of the mission's failure, she was still smiling frequently.

He didn't know since when he had rarely seen her, but Ning Gu thought that maybe she was already dead or strong enough, so he didn't need to come back to train again.

However, he discovered that he seemed to have unwittingly fallen in love with her.

To fall in love with someone who was opposing Gong Yuchen's power, no one could know how much pain he would suffer.

"You shouldn't care about me."

This man was indeed outstanding, but after meeting him, there would always be differences. After being adopted by Lin Mingjue since a young age, before he had even understood what it meant to be a man and a woman, he had already fallen in love with Lin Mingjue.

Meeting him could only be said to be hating the fact that they hadn't married each other.

"I know I shouldn't care."

Of course he knew that if he kept Jiang Qiaoer from bringing him to the banquet, that innocent little girl might encounter danger, and he might feel sorry for his sworn brother. But who told him to like this woman!

Ning Gu picked up the wine cup on the table and gulped it down.

"But I didn't know it at first, and I didn't know it when I fell in love with you! Now that I know, what's the use? "

"You shouldn't have fallen in love with me." After so long, the first time Zi Ran heard this man say that she was in love with her, she felt her heart beating faster than she had in a long time.

Maybe she cared about him, too?

Who knows! Ning Gu was the young master of an aristocratic family, but he was just an orphan girl that Lin Mingjue picked up. So what if he cared?

"Shouldn't?" Hearing Zi Ran's cold voice, and seeing her cold eyes that did not concern himself, Ning Gu wanted to take control of her immediately, and let her know what was meant by that!

"Then tell me, what is it?"

He was disdainful of using force against women. Besides, this woman wasn't someone he could deal with by force.

Just as Ning Gu finished speaking, the phone on Zi Ran's wrist rang. Zi Ran raised her hand to look at the display, and after hesitating for a moment, she still said to Ning Gu:

"I'm leaving."

Hopefully, next time, I won't see you again.

She knew that she should say this sentence, but in the end, she did not. She wasn't a good girl, she couldn't give him what she wanted and wanted his love.

"Be careful. Gong Yuchen's power is something that you all cannot imagine. "

As for her and Gong Yuchen, he didn't want to see them hurt.

The reason why he stayed by Gong Yuchen's side was to minimize the conflict between Gong Yuchen and his. The two forces had been calm for so long, but they were finally going to start fighting again.

Hearing Ning Gu's advice, Zi Ran pursed her lips and did not say a word. After pausing for a moment, she turned around and left.

He couldn't change Lin Mingjue's decision. If he wanted to deal with Gong Yuchen, he could only follow him. To fall in love with a person like Lin Mingjue, who could only see benefits for life, the pain within was something he could never tell others.

On the other side, An Jiu was still being questioned by the reporters, but the female reporter who was close to tears did not dare to speak to her loudly anymore. This kind of woman really couldn't be helped.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose. "I have something to attend to today. This is my personal phone number. I will apologize to you another day."

Seeing Ning Gu stagger out of the side door of the banquet, An Jiu quickly gave a name card to the female reporter who was just about to cry from him, and then quickly dashed out of the crowd. He purposely circled a few cars before rushing to Ning Gu's side.

"What's the matter with you?"

An Jiu was about to lift his hand to support the drunk Ning Gu's unstable footsteps, but unexpectedly, he opened up his arms with great strength.

"What happened?"

With his arm opened by Ning Gu, An Jiu did not get angry.

"You went to see her again, didn't you?" Seeing Ning Gu ignoring him, An Jiu continued to ask.

In this world, the only person that could cause Ning Gu to be so dispirited was that woman. An Jiu had trained with them before, so no matter how honest Ning Gu was, he could feel that there was something different between him and that woman.

All these years, An Jiu had always been giggling and joking, with countless peach blossoms around him. An Jiu had thought that he was just joking at first, but who would have thought that this man, who appeared to be elegant and unrestrained on the surface, was actually so dedicated!

"Can't you wake up?" Disregarding Ning Gu's resistance, An Jiu forcefully pushed him against the wall. The force of the impact was too great, causing Ning Gu to stumble and crash into the wall.

He swayed for a moment, then quickly raised his hand and clenched his fist as he punched at An Jiu's face!

Just as it was about to land on An Jiu's face, Ning Gu suddenly retracted his hand. His solid fist listened for a second in front of An Jiu, and then powerlessly drooped down.

This man's actions were still faster than his own! If he hadn't received that fist, he would have been in severe pain for a long time if it had landed on his face!

Seeing that Ning Gu did not land his fist, An Jiu continued to speak.

"Do you really think that Young Master Gong doesn't know what Lin Mingjue did in Gong Family? He just doesn't want you to be troubled! "

In this half a year, Gong Yuchen had personally witnessed all of Shen Fujun's changes. How could he, Shen Fujun, do such a big thing in the Gong Family?!

Although Gong Yuchen had secretly cleared away all of Lin Mingjue's informants, he still did not have the intention of stopping him from making a move on the Gong Family.

The old mistress and the Old Master Gong's injuries had completely solidified Gong Yuchen's determination to return.

"This has nothing to do with me!"

The woman Gong Yuchen liked was good by his side, why would he want to be by someone else's side? Furthermore, this other person had to be Gong Yuchen's opponent!

Since he did not want to betray his brother and also loved to the extent where he could not let go no matter how much pain he received from his injuries, Ning Gu almost crumbled at this moment.

Drunk, he no longer cared about anything else when he spoke. He only wanted to choose the one that would hurt the most and the most mercilessly so that no one could get close to him!

"He has already done so much for you, can't you give up that woman for him?" Hearing Ning Gu's words, An Jiu felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed with a knife.

They were the closest of brothers, why did they have to come so far?

"An Jiu, I know how you feel. But it's impossible to give her up. " Ning Gu lifted his eyes and looked at An Jiu steadily.

If he could give her up, he would have given up years ago. All these years, even he had been tricked by his playboy appearance. It was just that when Ning Gu saw her again tonight, he knew without a doubt that he was just deceiving himself.

He would probably never let her go in this life.

"You!"

Just when An Jiu thought that Ning Gu would hear his own words, he suddenly changed the subject. The eyes that looked at him were filled with sorrow and determination. Even though An Jiu was angry in his heart, his appearance made it hard for him to bear.

"If one day you have someone you like, you'll understand me."

Ning Gu laughed bitterly, then waved his hand and turned to leave. The bitterness in his voice caused An Jiu to stand in place for a long time, not knowing what to do.

Was there someone she liked?

An Jiu pondered about Ning Gu's words in his heart, and Jiang Qiaoer's face unconsciously jumped out from his mind. She smiled to the point that her eyes curved into a curve, and he tilted his head to look at himself: Your eyes look like they have stars.

Ever since An Jiu came out of the training camp, he had always been by Gong Yuchen's side. There were many women who wanted to follow him, and after all, they could be considered as above him in the Shengya. However, his heart was filled with matters between his brothers, and he had no time to worry about anything else.

This was also the reason why An Jiu could not tolerate others slandering his brotherly relationship. Because he had only this one faith, no one who loved and no one who had no home.

Looking at Ning Gu's leaving figure, An Jiu stood in place for a long time before finally driving away. There were too many things to be done tonight. A city would soon have a change of weather!

Gong Yuchen supported Jiang Qiaoer who had been drugged. He drove straight to a high-end hotel not far from the banquet.

This was because the hotel was targeted at the customers who were considered top rich and powerful. Anyone who came here could be seen on the national rich and powerful list.

Because the hotel's consumption rate was high, the traffic flow was also the least, hence it was also the quietest place.

At this moment, Gong Yuchen's Black Land Rover was steadily stopping in front of the inn's entrance.

When the welcoming beauty saw that Gong Yuchen was the one who had alighted, she quickly asked her comrades to look for the lobby manager, while she quickly went up to open the car door for the person behind.

However, to her surprise, there was no one who alighted from the back door, and Young Master Gong, who was so handsome that it seemed as if he would explode, had actually personally bent down to carry a person out of the car.

More importantly, this person was a woman!

The young miss at the door opened her eyes wide in shock. Since when did Young Master Gong start liking women?

Just as she was thinking, the manager came out from the hall, quickly walked up, and scolded her why she did not help the Young Master Gong support the drunk woman, and reached out, intending to take Jiang Qiaoer from Gong Yuchen.

"You don't even know how to support her on her behalf. How can you make her lower her head to the heavens?!"

The lobby manager thought that the woman in Gong Yuchen's arms was just a woman he brought over to play with. In her opinion, someone like Gong Yuchen would never fall for that woman.

"No need." Gong Yuchen's voice was cold, and avoided the manager's hand.

Ang?

The lobby manager, who had been rejected, stood rooted to the spot with his eyes wide open.

What was going on?

If she was not mistaken, Young Master Gong's eyes were filled with pampering?

"Manager, you flattered the wrong person, that woman was personally carried off by Young Master Gong." Looking at her own manager, who was slapped in the face, the door behind her whispered in her ear. He did not forget to shrink his neck and shrug at her.

"Go!"

The manager glared at her unhappily, and then chased after Gong Yuchen.

Most of the apartments here were fixed. Even if those people didn't live in them, they would still keep them all year round, just in case they ever needed them.

Just like that, Gong Yuchen entered the elevator and went into room 317. That was his personal apartment. After the first time he checked in, all of the equipment in the apartment had been changed to Gong Yuchen's favorite European style of the abbreviated system.
