“Master, the blood is coming from the wound in your heart. I’ll call Sikong later to have him examine you,” Fan Men said worriedly.
As Lu Yeming wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, he lowered his eyes to look at the rosary pea he was rubbing between his fingers. He remained silent.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
Fan Men was suddenly reminded of the message Wei Yan had brought from Jun Xiqing when he had rushed back – she had wished him a long life.
Master treated this girl differently.
Whenever she was here, Master would speak to her.
Fan Men thought for a while before bursting out, “Master, are you really going to marry Dongfang Ruoli? Even though Dongfang Ruoli has a face that looks like Elder Miss, I can tell that Master isn’t attracted to her looks at all.
“In this world, apart from Elder Miss, Miss Jun is the only one you view in a different light. Now that Elder Miss is gone, Master, why don’t you get together with Miss Jun? With her here, I think that Master will be able to slowly move on. Why not let Miss Jun accompany you during this time? It’s an option for both Master and Miss Jun as well.”
Fan Men liked Jun Xiqing. Someone as domineering and intimidating as Master could only be matched by someone as delicate, intelligent and resourceful as Jun Xiqing. It was as though they were made for each other. They were a match made in heaven.
But Master’s heart was already occupied by someone else.
Even so, so what? Elder Miss was already gone. If Jun Xiqing were to accompany him now in his days of loneliness, perhaps their future would take on a new path.
Maybe it could be a new beginning for Master.
Elder Miss had asked Jun Xiqing to take care of Master before she left, in the hope that she could slowly make her way into his heart in these days.
But Fan Men knew that this was unfair to Miss Jun.
But wasn’t this love? Someone had to take the first step.
Why wasn’t Miss Jun coming here? There was a chance that after some time, Master would be able to let go of Elder Miss and fall in love with her.
And wouldn’t their love story be able to start from then?
All these thoughts raced through Fan Men’s mind and at this moment, Lu Yeming stood up and said, “You may leave first.”
“Yes sir,” Fan Men said as he retreated.
…
Lu Yeming returned to his room and showered before walking out of the toilet in black silk pajamas. When he switched on the television, the business channel was on.
The host spoke in perfect Chinese. ‘According to our reports, Gu Mohan, a businessman from the Capital, has started a new round of mergers after the merger between C.T Corporation and the Gu Family business. This has created new waves in Asia and swept the industry up. The merger is between C.T Corporation and Lu Jinwen’s Lawrence Corporation.’
—- A few days ago, the Forbes List announced that Gu Mohan ranked first in the world with respect to wealth due to billions of dollars in assets, shocking the business world. The President of GK had become the richest man in the world at the age of 35. The age of Gu Mohan had arrived.
The scene on the television switched to the airport where a private jet was. The letter ‘G’ was printed large on the side. It was the short form of Gu Mohan’s surname and the absolute proof of his wealth.
A group of people appeared on the screen wearing suits and blue ties.
It was C.T Corporation’s higher-ups.
Right in front of them was a tall and handsome figure, drawing gazes from the crowd.
The wealthiest man in the world, Gu Mohan, was in a black coat that day with a white shirt and black vest underneath. There was a shiny chest pin on his vest, gleaming so brightly no one dared to look directly at him.
His handsome face was expressionless. As time passed by, he had only become more calm, respected, cold and intimidating.
Now Gu Mohan was already so powerful that there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Of course, there was a tiny figure beside him as well. It was Gu Yelin.
Little Gu Yelin was in a fitting black suit today, a tie around his neck. Even though he was still a child, he had inherited the best of both parents’ genes and looked like a perfectly-carved statue.
Gu Yelin was only seven or eight this year and even though the cameras only caught a fleeting glance at his face, they perfectly captured the coldness of his expression. He had a pair of narrow and deep eyes that were filled with intelligence beyond his age.
The Lu and Gu Family had a deep relationship and both families had extremely talented members who were legends in the industry. Though he was only seven or eight now, Gu Yelin would have his time come as well.
Gu Mohan held Gu Yelin’s small hands as the two of them boarded the plane and vanished from sight.
…
Lu Yeming switched off the television and lay down lazily on the bed, a cigarette in his hand.
Mo’er had already left for such a long time, and everyone had now returned to their usual routines.
It was as though nothing had changed.
But the truth was that everything had changed
Gu Mohan had Gu Yelin to accompany him. He was the flesh and blood Mo’er had left him and they could comfort and love each other.
But what about him?
The light in the room was dim and he was shrouded in shadow, filled with unspeakable loneliness As he smoked his cigarette in silence, he smiled self-deprecatingly. He had nothing at all.
Slowly, he drifted off to sleep.
In the deep of the night, he fell asleep and started to dream.
It was dark in his dream, not a single ray of light allowed in. He was alone and searching desperately.
—-Elder Sis.
—-Mo’er.
He was searching for her, for her delicate figure, but she was nowhere to be seen.
—- Mo’er, how long are you going to leave for?
—-I miss you
—-I miss you so much.
Just as he was wallowing in his own sorrow, a hand reached out from the darkness – Lu Yeming!
Someone was calling him.
He rejoiced and quickly grabbed the hand – Mo’er!
He pulled the hand and someone tumbled out of the darkness in a white dress. She was glowing brightly and illuminating the darkness.
Jun Xiqing.
He froze.
Jun Xiqing smiled at him prettily and said in a soothing voice, “You miss Elder Sister Mo’er? You’re in pain? Well serves you right for bullying me! It’s the price you have to pay!”
He stared at her in shock
Jun Xiqing’s soft body suddenly appeared in front of her. Then she blinked mischievously and said, “Come, lower your head.”
But he couldn’t move.
Reaching out with her small hands, Jun Xiqing brought them to his head and pushed it downwards towards her shoulder. “Alright, alright, I’m here
Just let it all out. I won’t tell anyone as long as you stop bullying me.”
She patted his broad back, as though she was calming a child.
…
Lu Yeming jerked out of his dream and opened his eyes. It took him a few seconds to recognize his room.
It had just been a dream.
When he reached up to touch his face and realized that it was streaked with tears. But the corners of his lips curved up slowly and he smiled through his tears.
