The second male who guards silently, you can't afford it

Murong Jiu's miserable smile made Shao Qihan feel uncomfortable.

No, it should be said that he was extremely uncomfortable, he was almost going to agree to Murong Jiu's request, no matter what the request was.

But he bit the tip of his tongue.

Shao Qihan stared at Murong Jiu who was about to cry, and said clearly: "I have to leave or stay, let me think about it - are you trying to keep me now, and hope I stay?"

Hearing what he said, Murong Jiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded hopefully.

"But..." Shao Qihan looked at the man because of the two words he uttered, and his eyes suddenly darkened, "I will only stay under one circumstance... You just said that you have something to say to me, but you don't I know how to speak, so I hope I can stay and wait for you to think it through and be able to speak out—are you deciding to stay?"

Murong Jiu lowered her head in shame, gave an insignificant "um", and then said in a low voice, "That's right, I know I'm too self-righteous...I'm sorry..."

Shao Qihan's throat tightened, he collected himself, and remained calm: "No, you don't need to apologize...Ajiu."

Murong Jiu suddenly looked up at him, her light brown eyes were clear and beautiful.

"But you know, I won't change my decision easily. If I will stay - then it must be because I have confirmed one thing. I can accompany you in a completely different capacity, not a friend, not a relative ——If I can’t do this, I will devote myself to another role and leave you far away, and we will be strangers from now on.”

Immediately, Murong Jiu's meaningful and handsome face revealed panic at a loss, with a bit of pleading and sorrow, he couldn't help but murmured: "I can't—"

"No." Shao Qihan quickly continued the second half of the sentence, "I have proved it for a long time - I can't bear to be just an ordinary friend, I can't even be your best and only friend, I long for more More - closer - you only have me, and I only have you, there will never be a third party..."

Every time Shao Qihan said a sentence, he leaned forward a little, and when he said the last sentence, he took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Murong Jiu's waist.He looked down at the dazed face of Murong Jiu who was slightly tilted back and raised his head, and his suppressed voice was full of strong passion/desire and wild desire/demand.

"That day——I didn't mean to scare you." Shao Qihan lowered his voice, the heat from his words hit Murong Jiu's nose and lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "That...is my attitude towards strangers , I guess you won't like it."

When Murong Jiu thought of Shao Qihan who pressed himself against the door and kissed deeply wantonly, his eyes also became cloudy.

He really didn't like Shao Qihan like that.

At that time, his emotions were so confused that he didn't recognize it for a while——Shao ​​Qihan, who was so cold and hard, who didn't leave any room for others, was just like the Shao Qihan in his previous life!

For several nights in a row, the nightmare that hadn't happened for a long time came to Murong Jiu's sleep again, and the dream was full of Shao Qihan who was sneering at him who was already down and out.

He doesn't like that Shao Qihan, what he likes is the one in front of him—the Shao Qihan who is willing to be considerate and tries hard to learn how to be considerate, who is still a little innocent and gradually matures and becomes stronger.

Yes...he likes him, and Murong Jiu likes Shao Qihan!

It was only at this moment that Murong Jiu finally recognized his own intentions, and finally stopped evading his own intentions.

But... it is too difficult to really take this step, there are so many things in front of him, he is afraid to move forward——

Even if you like it, what can you do?Is it really possible to be together happily like a princess and prince in a fairy tale?Even if he is not afraid of people's words or the world, what he still fears unconsciously is love itself.

What's more - he still has a knot in his heart. If he doesn't untie this knot, he will never really let go of everything and chase that illusory love again.

Murong Jiu felt uneasy, he slowly raised his hand to encircle Shao Qihan's broad back, put his palm on his muscular body, then slowly lowered his head, and buried it slightly sideways into Shao Qihan's neck.

Shao Qihan originally used one arm to wrap around Murong Jiu's waist, but after feeling the intimate gesture of the other party, he suppressed the agitation in his heart, immediately raised the other arm, and hugged Murong Jiu tightly with both arms.

Neither of them spoke, they just hugged each other quietly, listening to each other's heartbeat, and even their hearts seemed to be completely connected at this moment.

"Shao Qihan." Murong Jiu buried his face in Shao Qihan's shoulder and neck, and even his voice became muffled, "Shao Qihan, give me time."

Give me some time, let me think about it, and let me confirm again-what is this unprecedented palpitation and emotion.

"Okay." Shao Qihan rubbed Murong Jiu's soft hair with his face, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "But I can't wait too long... I'm afraid that this kind of happiness will make me unable to leave you again, Ajiu , do you know why I packed everything up and left you in such a hurry? I'm afraid I can't control myself—leave before I'm in too deep, and I can—and accept the fact that you will... marry a wife and have children , but if it is too deep, I don't know what I will do..."

Murong Jiu couldn't help but have a sore nose when he heard the despair and pain that Shao Qihan said despite desperately restraining himself.

"So I can't wait too long, two days... Ajiu, just two days, if you say 'no', then I'll go to the airport right away, if you say 'yes', I will never board that flight Opportunity—but you have to understand that if you agree, I will haunt you for the rest of my life, and I will never let go."

"A lifetime is too long." Murong Jiu stared at the fabric fibers on Shao Qihan's clothes, and the hand that was touching Shao Qihan's back couldn't help but bend into a fist, and he said in a low voice: "No one knows what will happen in the next second. "

Hearing Murong Jiu's words, Shao Qihan's heart tightened, he held the other's waist firmly, and put Murong Jiu, who was leaning comfortably against him, in front of him.

"What are you worried about?" Shao Qihan stared into Murong Jiu's eyes.

Murong Jiu pursed his lips, and did not meet Shao Qihan's eyes, but responded with silence.

"Are you worried about the Shao family? No—don't bother with them. Father and Shao Qidi have nothing to do with me. Although I have been doing nothing, I am not the kind of fool whose funds are frozen casually. As for grandpa, Ajiu You don't have to worry, although he didn't say it, but I know he supports me—"

Hearing this, Murong Jiu frowned immediately, looked at Shao Qihan, and asked back: "This incident has alarmed Mr. Shao?"

Mr. Shao is the only surviving grandparent among the four major chaebols. It is said that he had a good personal relationship with Murong Jiu's grandfather when he was young, otherwise there would be no such thing as a relative between the two families.Although Murong Jiu has never met his grandfather who passed away early, but because of this reason, he respects Mr. Shao very much.

Because he had a close relationship with Shao Qihan since he was a child, and he also met old master Shao a few times with Shao Qihan, and old master Shao treated him very well, even compared to Shao Qihan, old master Shao loved him as an outsider more.

Mr. Shao wholeheartedly wanted to live a secluded life of his wife and his son, and he didn't like to be disturbed by mundane disputes. He seldom even showed up during the so-called "family reunion" on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. It's such a big reaction.

He originally thought that Shao Qihan was simply saying goodbye to Mr. Shao, but he didn't expect Mr. Shao to even know about it...

Thinking that the old man would have a bad impression of him, Murong Jiu felt even more uneasy.

"Grandpa didn't say anything, he—" In order to appease the visibly disturbed Murong Jiu, Shao Qihan bit the bullet and said, "He said...you can see better than me, and he said that I coaxed you around..."

"What?" Murong Jiu looked at Shao Qihan in astonishment.

"Cough." Shao Qihan covered his lips with his fist, coughed in embarrassment, then took Murong Jiu's with the other hand, and pulled him towards the flower garden, "But these are not the point... um."

The chrysanthemums of various colors in the flowerbed have withered long ago, replaced by a vibrant green shrub with a few small lilac wild flowers.

Holding hands, the two walked slowly on the gravel path between the flower beds.

"Actually, my visit to grandpa this time is mainly for another thing." After a moment of silence, Shao Qihan brought up the topic again, "You know, the shares of Shao's are basically controlled by my father and Shao Qidi, right?"

"En." Murong Jiu nodded, and looked sideways at the calm Shao Qihan.

He is different from Shao Qihan, although his parents passed away one after another, but he is the only legal heir of the Murong Group, and no matter how good Shao Qihan is, there will always be an elder brother who is better than him and more "reasonable" - The status of the two in the family business is very different.

That's why Shao Qihan was just dawdling around. He didn't really get in touch with the group's affairs until he was in his 20s.

Once upon a time, he had the idea of ​​being angry with him, but now that he thinks about it, Shao Qihan probably understood this situation a long time ago and was willing to adapt to this situation, right?

"But in fact, more than half of my father's shares are recorded in my mother's name - that is to say, because the husband and wife were very affectionate back then, my father shared his shares with his wife without hesitation... ..."

This kind of situation is very common in major families. When a famous lady marries into a wealthy family, she will bring a dowry from her natal family. At the same time, her husband's family will also provide a dowry. Generally speaking, this dowry should also belong to the bride.And for business people like them, the best dowry gift is the shares of an enterprise group.

But there are very few couples like Shao Qihan's parents. Murong Jiu has never even heard of anyone who is so "generous". I love Shao's mother to the point of "love beauty but not country".

"That's right, he's just so...innocence." Shao Qihan mentioned his father, although his tone was sarcasm, but his eyes were full of smiles, "but he would never have imagined that his wife would still put a smile on her face before she died. with him."

"what?"

Hearing Shao Qihan's last words, Murong Jiu couldn't help exhaling in surprise, the admiration and envy on his face instantly froze into surprise and astonishment.

Shao Qihan What does this mean?Could it be... his mother actually betrayed his father?
