Lu Cong said helplessly: “Jinyao, I’ve explained many times already, I don’t love Ruoruo. I just don’t. You can’t force these things.”
“Hmph!”
Li Jinyao sneered, “Who was it that first brought up the marriage proposal? It was your Lu family! If it wasn’t for the fact that your mother likes Ruoruo so much, do you think our Li family would be willing to betroth her to you?”
“But you should know that when we got engaged to Ruoruo, I was in a coma in the hospital! If I had been conscious at that time, I would never have agreed to this relationship!”
Lu Cong retorted emotionally.
That year, he had a severe car accident, and it took over a month in a coma before he finally woke up.
Not long after he regained consciousness, his mother told him that he had survived the ordeal thanks to Li Ruoruo. Without her timely help getting him to the hospital, he might have already met his maker.
At that time, when he had just awoken, his mind was still in a fog, and it felt like he had lost something important from his heart.
He thought that he must have amnesia, but strangely enough, he could remember many things that had happened over the years. His doctor assured him that everything was normal and that he did not have amnesia.
As for Ruoruo…
Lu Cong had always regarded her as his sister, never thought about marrying her, and couldn’t believe that the two families would secretly arrange the marriage and even send out the invitations without his knowledge.
Out of consideration for Li Ruoruo and both families, Lu Cong reluctantly attended the engagement ceremony. From then on, he found himself with a fiancee he didn’t expect.
In these years, he had always wanted to make things clear with Li Ruoruo. But every time, she would always change the subject and not let him continue.
Lu Cong was worn out, and there was even a time when he contemplated giving in and just accepting Ruoruo, seeing it as a way of repaying her for saving his life.
But who would have thought, destiny has a funny way of throwing a curveball. Just before he was willing to compromise, he met Murong Qian.
Before meeting Murong Qian, Lu Cong had never thought that he would fall in love with a woman at first sight, become captivated the second time, and want to commit to her for life the third time.
His feelings for Murong Qian were sudden and passionate, like a love that was meant to be.
Knowing that Murong Qian wasn’t indifferent towards him but was just being considerate of Li Ruoruo, Lu Cong resolutely decided to break off the engagement with Li Ruoruo to avoid hurting anyone further.
Li Ruoruo was too difficult to handle, and Lu Cong simply didn’t have the patience to deal with her, so he had to ask Li Jinyao for help.
But who knew that Li Jinyao was also very difficult, refusing to do anything to help, and even hit him for Li Ruoruo. If he continued to be beaten up, they wouldn’t be brothers anymore.
Lu Cong became more upset the more he thought about it, and feeling depressed, he turned around, walked to the bar, and started pouring himself some whiskey.
Mo Shiting wasn’t feeling great either, seeing Lu Cong drinking, he simply joined him.
The two of them sat at the bar, each drinking their sorrows away.
Song Yunque quietly walked up to Li Jinyao and whispered to him: “Second Brother, I think Third Brother is right. If he doesn’t love Ruoruo, even if they get married, Ruoruo won’t be happy. So, maybe you should try to see it from a different perspective.”
Li Jinyao stared at him coldly: “When you keep your mouth shut, nobody thinks you’re mute.”
Song Yunque: “Ouch!”
With a yelp, he touched his nose and hopped over to the bar.
He shuffled onto the stool next to Mo Shiting and leaned in to ask: “Fourth Brother, why are you upset? Haven’t you made it up with your wife yet?”
Mo Shiting glanced at him, his gaze cold.
Song Yunque instinctively shrunk his neck and stayed quiet.
Not one to sit in silence, he turned to Lu Cong sitting across, and asked with a grin: “Third Brother, which girl has managed to stir your normally stoic heart?”
Lu Cong looked up at him, disregarding him with just a glance.
Song Yunque:”…”
Why did it feel like his brothers were distancing themselves from him as they grew older?
Wasn’t he their mood booster?
Song Yunque pouted but didn’t say anything else.
The large private room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
After an unknown period, Li Jinyao finally walked over to them, poured himself a full glass of wine, and drained it.
He put down the glass heavily and said to Lu Cong with a stern face: “You have to confront Ruoruo about this. If she can’t handle it even a bit, I won’t let you off!”
“Second Brother–”
Fearing that the two would start fighting again, Song Yunque quickly called out to Li Jinyao..
