Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mysterious Man

  "No pop-up windows." Ziyu Pavilion "Yuan Shuheng and Pei Mingxuan are together now." The man's voice was calm to the extreme. The dim candlelight couldn't even illuminate the man's face...

  "Yes." Qi Zihao's words were somewhat disheartened. Was Yuan Shuhan really that unbeatable? He had once been proud in front of her, but now he was just a woman after all. Such thoughts had also occurred to him before. Qi Zihao himself had acknowledged such things. Who would have thought that he would end up being utterly defeated by this very woman?

  Even if such a woman is considered extremely exceptional, unfortunately, she can't say half a word about it. It turns out that the so-called standard is also different from person to person. He believes that some things that are habitual for him will be completely different comments when done by others.

  Yuan Shu Huan was originally a transcendent person, beyond the ordinary. Some things can only happen on Yuan Shu Huan's body. Just like this proud man in front of him, his gaze seems to have stopped at Yuan Shu Huan for this life. The man is usually clean and self-disciplined to a certain extent. Even many people think that the man likes not women...

  But when they face Yuan Shu Huan, they know that their thoughts are wrong. It's because the men have been thinking of Yuan Shu Huan all along, so they would be like this and not close to women. However, it is now very clear that Yuan Shu Huan likes Pei Ming Xuan, even risking danger for Pei Ming Xuan.

  In such a situation, how should the man choose? Qi Zihao was very curious about this point. The fact that the man has come to this step is already considered to be at the pinnacle of success. At least he is not inferior to Pei Mingxuan. Unfortunately, Yuan Shuhuan never stayed with the man, even though the man had always been by Yuan Shuhuan's side.

  "She's doing well, it's been a long time since we last met." The man felt somewhat nostalgic about this. Unfortunately, they hadn't seen each other for a very long time. Yuan Shu Han's recent situation was only known through letters or some other channels. The man had a little bit of longing in his heart.

  Bae Myung-seon is better than me in many ways. Men really don't believe anything. Something like that happened before. Why can Bae Myung-seon still be with Won Soo-hwan? It's been five years since they last contacted each other. Why can't everything go as I imagined?

  It's an unexpected event in the plan. Bae Myung-seon is not someone who can easily bow his head. How could Won Seo-hwan tolerate such a betrayal?

  This is not something Mu Shu could have done, but it's clear that all of this has become a reality.

  "It doesn't seem like a bad thing at all." In fact, it should be even better than before. At least I've never seen Yuan Shuhuan with such a rosy complexion before. Not to mention the flirtatious look in her eyebrows and eyes. It's already revealed too many things. The one Yuan Shuhuan truly loves must be Pei Mingxuan. This point should have been clear from long ago.

  Previously, the man had let himself try to probe Yu Shu Huan, but unexpectedly, Yu Shu Huan's answer was only two words: refusal. Now in this situation, Qi Zi Hao really didn't know what kind of situation it was.

  Or it's just that Pei Mingxuan and Yuan Shuhuan are moving too fast. So they both have a bit of an unable-to-catch-up look on their faces.

  "It seems... how... what did you do to her? I neglected something. You can't do anything to her. It's just that tonight's heavy rain, Huan should not be very comfortable outside." The man was slightly unhappy about this. What could Yuan Shu Huan do in such a big rain?

  Pei Mingxuan himself is also a person who has been nurtured in luxury and comfort. Even on the battlefield, Pei Mingxuan can still share the joys and sorrows with the common people. However, this does not mean that Pei Mingxuan can take good care of Yuan Shuhuan. Yuan Shuhuan is also not someone who can take good care of himself.

  The man walked towards the window with some worry. Unfortunately, tonight's moonlight had been blocked by dark clouds. But that was okay. If Yuan Shu Huan could be well taken care of, how could he abandon Pei Ming Xuan? There wasn't anyone who didn't have a soft spot for him. Even if that person was so powerful here.

  Perhaps such an adjective is not perfect. But one thing can be determined completely. Men are always so gentle and have infinite tolerance.

  "The master is right." Unfortunately, such words are still unacceptable. Yuan Shu Huan is indeed a strong and unparalleled person in the world. But to think that he is really so much better than himself. Moreover, many men still rely on the Qi family, yet they still look down on themselves.

  Qī Zǐhào's heart was somewhat resentful, but unfortunately, he couldn't disobey the man. The matter was actually a test for himself by the man, but unfortunately, he didn't pass it. So everything was still under the man's control. It was clearly his own family's affair, yet his own family couldn't make decisions...

  It's ironic, isn't it? When they first asked the man to work for their family, no one could have imagined that he would end up dominating his own family like this. By the time they realized what was happening, everything had already changed beyond recognition.

  Those people are still complacent to this day. Because the family's prospects do seem bright on the surface. The situation of power being handed over doesn't seem to have any impact. However, he knows that the man's ambition is not just about that. Even so, one must still do their own thing well. At least the man will be a saint-like figure.

  He can't say that the elders are foolish because these decisions aren't something one or a few people can make. No one expected things to turn out this way, but no one could have foreseen it either. That group of short-sighted people. Qi Zihao really wants to say this.

  "You're not resigned." Even in the face of two failures, is it still this unresigned feeling? If I were to put it in my own words, I'd probably feel just as unresigned too. However, unfortunately, this man hasn't yet clearly recognized what he needs to do now. He's spending way too much time on whether or not he's resigned. This isn't a very wise thing to do.

  "Understood, I dare not." In fact, the man had long known his own discontent. He just hadn't put these things in his heart all along. Perhaps only he himself couldn't forget. Because he was so passionate about family. Or maybe he wanted to be a man like him.

  "It's better to be cautious and not do anything stupid. Yuan Shuhan has never been a simple person, don't wait until the entire Qi family is destroyed before realizing that." The man reminded in a soft voice. In fact, if the Qi family wasn't foolish, they should have started setting up their own defense by now.

  What Yuan Shu Han did back then, he himself doesn't want to mention it again now. However, past experiences serve as a warning for the future. Yuan Shu Han didn't come into this world without doing anything either. It's just that these people may not have taken those things seriously. The matter of the Dong family back then wasn't just made up out of thin air. Yuan Shu Han had the capability to do such a thing.

  The distance between myself and Yuan Shu Huan is getting closer and closer, but compared to the level I want to reach, it's still far from enough. The name Pei Ming Xuan is like a silk thread, entwining itself between me and Yuan Shu Huan. I don't know when I can break free from this unspoken constraint and truly be with Yuan Shu Huan.

  "As long as Master is willing, I believe Yuan Shu can't do anything to the Qi family." Qi Zihao replied with certainty. No one knew better than him about the man's abilities.

  Between Yuan Shu and Qi's family, I will forever choose the former. Qi's family is just a force that can be borrowed for him, compared to the person he really wants, it's not just a simple difference of ten million eight thousand miles. Even if there are thousands of Qi families, they can't compare to that person.

  The man didn't mind Qi Zihao knowing what he was thinking at all, probably because Qi Zihao couldn't do anything about it anyway. Speaking of the young genius back then, Qi Zihao could also be considered one. It's just a pity that Qi Zihao himself couldn't grasp it.

  I didn't never give Qi Zi Hao a chance, it's just a pity that he couldn't grasp the opportunity every time. The man suddenly felt that this was really an annoying thing. Obviously, how Qi Zi Hao was had nothing to do with himself. Why did he have to worry about Qi Zi Hao? It's really an annoying thing.

  The man's cold words were loud and clear. Qi Zihao couldn't understand such things. A beauty-loving person doesn't love power, so why choose such a thing.

  Having already taken control of the entire Qi family, how could you say such cruel words? Moreover, being a member of the Qi family yourself, why would you still speak so unscrupulously?

  "You don't care at all, do you? Even if the Qi family is destroyed. Why can a mere Yuan Shu be compared to the entire Qi family? What's the point of everything they've done? To them, it's everything. But to men, it's just a trivial matter."

  "There's no more Qi family. There are others. You've done such a foolish thing yourself. It has already led the Qi family to its death. What Yuan Shuhan hates the most is when others harm what she cares about. How can you, who openly and justifiably want to take Pei Mingxuan's life, allow the Qi family to continue again..."

  The man's fate was sealed with this one sentence. Qi Zihao was just a discarded son. As soon as Qi Zihao's actions were exposed, he had already taken the path of no return. Unfortunately, Qi Zihao shouldn't have done so. Even if it was his own doing.

  Things finally turned out this way after all. It's really an incompetent and foolish thing. The man didn't want to talk to Qi Zihao anymore, so he just turned around and left quietly...

  There is no need to continue talking about it. What I want to pursue, what I need to rely on, absolutely cannot be just a useless thing like Qi Jia now. What I wanted from the beginning, can't be obtained by relying on such a guy.

  "Have I been abandoned?" Qi Zihao said with some self-mockery. Both he and the Qi family were just temporary pawns used by this person. Regardless of whether this matter succeeded or not, both he and the Qi family would be discarded anyway. Because these things were all arranged by that man's own hand... The final pawn that could get close to Yuan Shuhuan...
