Chapter 1278: Showing Off Love in Public

"Sob... why are you so annoying, you scared me to death, sob..." Shi Ran wept with joy, her little fists falling like raindrops on his chest, not hurting at all.

"Are you stupid? Why did you have to chase after him? It was too dangerous, just a little bit, just a tiny bit more and I would have lost you, sob..."

From childhood to now, this was the first time Shi Ran had lost her composure in front of others!

She rarely cried; of course, she had shed tears for Qi Heng before, but those were only silent tears.

The sadness was real, but she wouldn't lose her composure.

Everyone watched from the side, tacitly understanding, and no one spoke.

But the joy on Shi Youxuan's face could hardly be concealed; she knew her daughter had completely moved on from her previous relationship.

This was very good; they all say marriage is the grave of love, but in fact, a marriage without love is a place with no burial ground.

Whether they fall in love first and marry later, or marry first and fall in love later, marriage should have love; only then is it perfect.

It just won't do if it's only a match in social status, where outsiders think they are a good fit, but the husband and wife find each other repulsive.

Yun Qitian let her hit him, hugging her shoulders and whispering comfort: "I was wrong, I apologize for making you worry about me, but I won't change!"

Uh... won't change!

Is he really that arrogant?

That's right, he is just that arrogant.

Yun Qitian: "Next time if there is such a situation, I will still rush up without hesitation. Ranran, do you know? You are my life; without you, my living has no meaning at all..."

She stood on tiptoe and blocked his mouth with her lips!

Yun Qitian did not hesitate at all and responded immediately; the couple began to kiss passionately.

Liu Min turned her head to the side, looking at the sea, where waves were blooming.

She wasn't jealous; she was envious.

,

Envious of the love between Yun Qitian and Shi Ran.

Envious that Shi Ran was smart, able to quickly see through Qi Heng's character, and then gracefully turn around to start a new relationship.

And herself?

Stupid as a pig!

Clearly knowing that Qi Heng was arrogant and conceited, yet still harboring delusional thoughts about him.

Clearly her father died at his hands, yet she still sought help from the tiger, risking her life for him...

Clearly, clearly she had given up once before, yet after going around in circles, she fell into the same pit again...

Liu Min regretted it immensely, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but she still couldn't let go.

She hated Qi Heng, but she hated herself even more.

"Hey! What is the girl thinking about?" Before she knew it, Wang Yong stood by her side.

She hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, managed to squeeze a smile onto her face, and pretended nothing was wrong: "I wasn't thinking about anything, the wind blew into my eyes."

"That's right, the wind at the seaside is just too strong."

Wang Yong didn't expose her; instead, he considerately helped her explain.

"Yes, the wind is too strong... that, you saved me, I, Liu Min, will remember this favor; if there is anything you need from me in the future, just say the word." She didn't thank him; it seemed like a light sentence, but it was the most solemn promise.

Once a promise is made, it is valid forever.

Wang Yong didn't take it to heart and answered casually: "Alright."

"By the way, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Take revenge."

"Yes, I know revenge is the priority, I mean what will you do after revenge? You are still so young, the road ahead is very long, you must do something, right?"

Liu Min shook her head: "I haven't thought that far ahead."

Wang Yong: "Oh! You haven't thought that far, that's fine too, let's think about something closer; what do you want to do before taking revenge?"

Uh...

Liu Min was confused, looking at him blankly.

Before revenge, she was going to take revenge immediately; there was no "before."

He smiled, a smile that was very familiar, making Liu Min feel a momentary trance, a trance where she felt as if her father were still alive, just disguised.

His eyes were filled with indulgence, and he smiled very—tolerantly!

It was the kind of look where, no matter how many stupid things she had done, she would be forgiven.

Seeing her distracted, Wang Yong assumed she hadn't thought it through and patiently reminded her: "Look, the target of your revenge is Qi Heng, and who is Qi Heng? He is the President; the difficulty of this revenge is not small, you have to make a plan."

"You can't just grab a gun and rush in to take revenge, right? If you really did that, let alone revenge, you wouldn't even be able to see Qi Heng's face before you were already riddled with bullets or arrested, right..."

"Um, right."

Liu Min nodded: "But my heart is a mess right now, I can't think of a better way, Uncle, what should I do?"

The word "Uncle" successfully made the smile on Wang Yong's face disappear.

But soon he felt relieved.

That's right, the girl's address was correct; he was a full twenty years older than her, so he was indeed an uncle.

"Uncle" became slightly more serious: "This matter is of great importance; I need to think about this carefully, we must come up with a foolproof plan."

He usually hated it when others spoke in a pedantic, flowery way.

Today, he didn't know what had gotten into him, but Wang Yong had also become the person he hated most!

Sheng Family.

Living room.

Wang Yong's backside seemed to be on fire; he couldn't sit still on the sofa, constantly squirming around.

"Sister-in-law, three minutes have already passed. Have you thought of a good solution yet?"

Shi Youxuan glared at him helplessly and warned, "If you say one more word, I'll have someone throw you out. Do you believe me?"

She knew that Wang Yong had always had a short temper.

But he had never been this impatient; no idea could be conjured up just by tapping one's head, especially when dealing with Qi Heng, as the situation was special.

The Sheng Family had a large estate and business, but in the end, they were only merchants.

Although L Country was small, it was still a country, and Qi Heng, as the president of a country, was protected by an aura of authority.

Dealing with him required methods and strategies; if handled poorly, it would become a diplomatic incident, and the Jiangzhou government would not allow it.

This matter had to be considered carefully and could not be acted upon rashly.

If anyone were to be anxious, Shi Youxuan should be even more anxious than him; her daughter and son-in-law had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Qi Heng, yet she was not as agitated as Wang Yong. Why?

Shi Youxuan discovered a clue, and the look in her eyes as she turned to Wang Yong changed: "A Yong, you treat that girl Liu Min differently than you treat others... Do you like her?"

Wang Yong's wife had died in childbirth many years ago, resulting in two deaths, and he had never remarried since.

Men, after all, still have basic needs.

For many years, Wang Yong had never lacked women by his side, but he had never cared for any of them, not like this!

"Sister-in-law, you really know how to joke. No, that's not the case."

Wang Yong denied it with a sheepish laugh, his gaze darting away and his expression unnatural.

Who was she?

She was Shi Youxuan.

Wang Yong's little secrets could not be hidden from her at all.

He blushed; a grown man began to feel embarrassed, so awkward that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

And so, everyone saw it.

The serious topic began to go off track.

Sheng Hanyu said, "Logically, at your age, you should have had a woman who knows how to care for you by your side long ago, but Liu Min won't do; she is too young."

Liu Min was a classmate of his daughter from kindergarten and was the same age; Wang Yong was his brother and not much younger than him. If these two were to become a couple... no matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right; they were a generation apart.
