The beauty wisely chose to smile, but pursed her lips and did not answer.

"What? Are you afraid of offending someone?" Yu Jichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the beauty in his arms.

"Where! Mr. Yu, please stop laughing at me! What happened between you and Mr. Mo... I don't dare to comment on it!" The beauty covered her mouth and smiled.

"Ha... you are such a talkative, you are obviously a peacemaker and you won't offend anyone!" Yu Jichen said with a wicked smile from the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Yu, I didn't! Please don't accuse me unjustly!" After saying that, the beauty turned to look at Mo Xiangyuan, as if asking for help, "Mr. Mo, please say something fair."

Mo Xiangyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Just bear with it! He... can take the opportunity to bully you! You have to understand Yu Zong's feelings of being oppressed at home, but can only come out to vent!"

"Pfft..." The beauty couldn't help laughing.

Yu Jichen's expression immediately changed. He glared at Mo Xiangyuan with dissatisfaction, "Which of your eyes saw that I was oppressed at home? Don't ruin my reputation."

"Reputation?" Mo Xiangyuan smiled strangely, "Do you... still have a reputation now?"

Yu Jichen stared at him hatefully, "Mo Xiangyuan, please stop pooping on me. If you piss me off, I will tell the story about you."

Mo Xiangyuan curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "What do I have? We don't know how well-behaved Nian Nian is. When I'm at home, I fully enjoy the pride of being a father. What about you?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Yu Jichen was dissatisfied, "Huh, I admit, the naughty guy in our family is not as good as your little princess, but...it won't make me oppressed, right?"

"Ahem, Yu Jichen, don't avoid the topic. Everyone knows about your 'strict wife control', okay?" Mo Xiangyuan leaned closer to him and whispered, "But...brother, where did you get the courage to act like this?"

A beautiful girl attends a cocktail party and goes back at night... isn't she afraid of her life?"

"Screw you, my wife is gentle! She is not a shrew!" Yu Jichen glared at him dissatisfied.

Mo Xiangyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Tch, did I say she's not gentle? Aren't you just intoxicated by her gentleness?"

This sentence made Yu Jichen frown, and said with some t: "Don't mention it, this woman has a deep heart. She has been... angry with me lately!"

"Oh?" Mo Xiangyuan looked at his sad face and suddenly smiled, "No wonder you found a female companion. It turns out... you had a quarrel with her!"

Yu Jichen shook his head, "Even if we don't quarrel, she won't accompany me!"

"What's wrong? Are you so unsure?" Mo Xiangyuan said jokingly.

Yu Jichen sighed, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious, "Huh... When have I ever been confident again?" After saying that, he raised his head and patted Mo Xiangyuan on the shoulder, "We brothers... really have the same disease.

It’s connected!”

After hearing his words, Mo Xiangyuan immediately put away the joking on his face, his eyes became darker, and he stared at a certain place intently for a while before saying: "How could that be? Compared to me... you don't

I know I will be hundreds of times happier!" He smiled bitterly, "Ji Chen, cherish it! Don't wait until you lose it to regret it."

"Hey... How can I not cherish her? To her... I hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting. To put it bluntly, I have been messing with Yu Jichen since I was a child. What the hell am I doing?

Who did I care about? But for her... I don’t know what the devil is, I just damn care! I wish I could tie her to my side all the time! But... after all these years, she has even given birth to a child for me! But

I just can't win her heart!" Yu Jichen gritted his teeth bitterly, "I don't understand, how am I inferior to that coward man? Why can't she forget him? Why doesn't she love me?"

Mo Xiangyuan felt his heart tremble, and a dense pain spread from the depths of his body. He gently said to Ji Chen: "Even if this is the case, it is better than losing her forever! No matter what, she is still there.

By your side. Brother, be content!"

Yu Jichen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his words were inappropriate. He immediately looked at Mo Xiangyuan, and after a while he said awkwardly: "You...can't convince yourself to forget her?"

Mo Xiangyuan smiled bitterly, "How could you forget? How could you forget? Ji Chen, this feeling... I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it!"

Yu Jichen was silent for a while before speaking again, "Yes, without personal experience, I really have no right to speak, but Xiang Yuan... more than three years have passed. If she was still alive, she should have come back long ago, right?

But... there is no news at all, I'm afraid..."

"No! I don't want to believe it, I just don't want to believe it!" He closed his eyes, "You don't know... she hates me! Even if she is still alive, I'm afraid... she won't come back!"

"If you don't want to believe that she is dead, why did you erect a monument?" Yu Jichen asked: "Is it... just to torture yourself?"

Mo Xiangyuan smiled helplessly, "There is no way, this is... the Cheng family's intention!"

"Cheng family? Huh, what does the Cheng family have to do with her?" Yu Jichen snorted disdainfully, "To put it bluntly, everyone is taking advantage of her, right? From the first day she arrived at the Cheng family,

Until she disappeared, she was exploited at every turn! Now she is pretending to commemorate her? Haha...it's really funny to say it..."

"Ha...are you sharing your anger with your wife now?" Mo Xiangyuan looked at him, "Under her influence, do you want to beat me up when you see me?"

Yu Jichen looked at him blankly, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

Mo Xiangyuan twitched the corner of his mouth silently, "It seems... I really guessed it! If... I can let her come back to me, I am willing to exchange it with anything! Except for my life, because my life is gone

, even if she comes back... everything is in vain! I hope I can stay by her side, even if I accept the most painful punishment!"

"Hey..." Yu Jichen sighed, "Why... why do people always have to be like this? Only when everything is lost can you understand? Do you remember, I reminded you!"

"How could I not remember?" Mo Xiangyuan shook his head with a look of regret on his face, "It's a pity... I was too conceited and ignored your reminder at that time! I want to regret it now, but I have already

No chance!"

"Xiang Yuan... let it go! Maybe if you let it go, you will be free! Find a woman who loves you, or give Jian Ning a chance! After all..."

"That's enough! Stop talking!" Mo Xiangyuan interrupted him, "How could I accept another woman? As for Jian Ning, I not only don't want to see her, I don't even want to hear her name. If back then... I

Had I not chosen to save her first, Nuannuan would not have..." At this point, Mo Xiangyuan could not hide the pain on his face.

Yu Jichen was silent for a while and then spoke slowly, "But Xiang Yuan... I bet that even if that happened a hundred times, you would still choose to save Jian Ning first because you feel you owe her! Do you want to

Use that thing to compensate her, and also want to use that thing to put an end to the relationship between you! You just don’t know...that kind of choice will cause accidents, make you lose your favorite, and then become like today

It’s so painful.”

"..." Mo Xiangyuan didn't say anything. Yes, as a good brother, Yu Jichen knows him very well. As he said, even if he had to do it over a hundred times, he would still choose Jian Ning. That's not because

In his heart, Jian Ning was more important than Mu Nuan, but... because he owed her something, he compensated her, but he didn't know that such a choice would cost such a big price.

"Forget it, don't think about it! In any case, things can't go back to the past! Just look at it!" Yu Jichen enlightened him, "Maybe... I mean maybe, just like you said, because she is

I hate you, so... even if she is still alive, she doesn't want to see you! But... have you ever thought about whether she would contact the Cheng family? This kind of speculation... is not impossible! "

Mo Xiangyuan denied it almost without hesitation, "It's impossible! Do you think... I didn't have any doubts back then? Based on that kidnapping, I also used all my connections to investigate, but because the main participants were all

She died in the big explosion, so... nothing was found! Among the people under investigation, her family is also included. Until now, her family is also under my surveillance, but... she really has never come back! "

"In this case, just let it go! It's not that you haven't worked hard, it's just... not everything can be changed through hard work! Xiangyuan, as your brother, I really... can't bear you torturing yourself like this!" Yu

Ji Chen glanced at the well-dressed figure on the dance floor in front of him, "Look, there are no women in the world anymore. You have been alone all these years. Do you know how many women's hearts you have broken?"

"Heh... so what? Why do I have to deal with other people's sadness?" Mo Xiangyuan casually took a glass of red wine from the waiter's hand, shook it slightly in his hand, then took a sip, and said softly: "It's not Nuan Nuan.

, no one is meaningless to me! Ji Chen, don’t stand and talk without hurting your back. If we change places, the person who disappears is..."

"Hey... don't wait for this metaphor!" Yu Jichen stopped him immediately, "Okay, okay, why don't I leave you alone? Come on, I'm going to dance with my female partner!" After that, he

He grabbed the beauty next to him and slid onto the dance floor as if he was running away.

Mo Xiangyuan took a deep breath, tasted the red wine in his hand again, and glanced across the dance floor lightly...

There were many guests attending the reception tonight. Along with the music, many people were dancing with their partners. The light in the room was a little dark. Suddenly, a figure flashed across the crowd. Mo Xiangyuan felt that his heart was suddenly touched.

Raised it...
