Dai Chukong brought Qi Bufan to a restaurant for dinner.

After the dishes were served, Qi Bufan watched as Dai Chukong picked up a carrot. He thought of something and his gaze became nostalgic. He said, “I remember that when you first lived with me, you hated eating carrots the most.”

Dai Chukong still remembered what happened back then.

She said, “You said that eating carrots is good for the eyes and for the body. I listened to you.”

Qi Bufan nodded.

He ate a piece of bamboo shoot. It was like chewing wax.

He put down his chopsticks and said to Dai Chukong, “Chukong is very obedient. Then, can Chukong listen to Dad again?”

Dai Chukong looked puzzled. “What?”

Qi Bufan remained silent.

Dai Chukong looked at him uneasily. Her heart was in turmoil. She did not know what he was trying to say.

Qi Bufan’s gaze was very serious. Just as Dai Chukong was about to be ashamed and wanted to lower her head to avoid his gaze, Qi Bufan finally spoke.

Qi Bufan said, “Don’t love me.”

Dai Chukong’s face turned pale.

“Brother…”

“Chukong, I’m your father.” Qi Bufan interrupted her.

Dai Chukong gritted her teeth and looked indignant. “But you’re not my father!”

“I’m your father’s brother. It’s fine if you don’t want to call me father, but you can call me uncle.” Just take it that the father-daughter bond between them was no longer there.

Dai Chukong was about to cry.

She gripped her chopsticks tightly with her right hand. Her expression was angry and ashamed. She said indignantly, “I won’t! I don’t want you to be my father or my uncle! I like you. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you! I love you. I don’t want to be your daughter. I want to be your woman!”

Dai Chukong’s tone became more and more emotional.

Qi Bufan scolded her softly, “Chukong, shut up!”

His cold expression was very scary.

Dai Chukong suddenly shut her mouth.

She looked at Qi Bufan in silence, her eyes red. In the past, she had thought that Qi Bufan was the best and most considerate person in the world, but now, she felt that Qi Bufan was the most ruthless and heartless person in the world. He had rejected her feelings just like that, without any reluctance…

Dai Chukong opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

She looked up and held back her tears.

She looked at the man opposite her with a blurry gaze and asked Qi Bufan, “You want to reject me, right?”

“Yes,” Qi Bufan replied firmly.

Dai Chukong gave up.

“What I want to be is never your daughter.” Dai Chukong put down her chopsticks. Her hands were clenched into fists, and she pointed her fingers inward with her thumbs facing out. She exerted force with her fingertips, and the nails of her eight fingers almost completely pierced the flesh of her palms.

She said, “If you don’t accept my love, then we’d better stop living together.”

“I’m tired of pretending not to love you.”

“I’ve had enough! I’ve really had enough! Brother… if you really can’t accept me, then let’s split up now.”

After saying that, Dai Chukong fixed her gaze on Qi Bufan. She wanted to see regret and reluctance on his face. However, Qi Bufan disappointed her. His expression was serious and stern without any pity.

Dai Chukong completely gave up.

“My father is willing to die for you because he treats you as a brother. He thinks it’s worth it. You don’t have to feel guilty towards me. I’m proud of my father, who is willing to sacrifice for his comrades.” She stood up, and his gaze followed her naturally.

“When I graduate and find a job, I’ll return you all the money you’ve spent on me over the years.”

“…Uncle.”

Dai Chukong called him uncle and left.

At first, she was walking. Her footsteps were slightly messy. When she walked out of the restaurant, she started to run.

Qi Bufan pressed his face against the window and watched Dai Chukong run back to school, wiping her tears with her hands.

He sat alone, unaware of the passage of time.

When Qi Bufan came to look for Fang Yusheng, Fang Yusheng was waiting for him at the Fang family’s entrance with the Maserati parked beside him.

Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows when he saw him.

He stood up and walked to Qi Bufan, asking softly, “Have you told her?”

“…Yeah.”

“After thinking about it, I feel that drinking alcohol is meaningless. I’ll bring you for a spin. What do you think?” Fang Yusheng seemed to be prepared. Not only was he wearing a sweater, but he was also wearing a down jacket that could withstand the cold.

Qi Bufan felt terrible, but he did not say anything and nodded.

Fang Yusheng got into the driver’s seat and let Qi Bufan sit in the front passenger seat.

He drove the car out of Binjiang City and went to a sports car road. This was a racing road specially built by a group of good-for-nothings in Binjiang City for the sake of racing. People came here to race in the middle and end of every month. Today was neither the middle of the month nor the end of the month, but there were still people racing privately on this road.

Fang Yusheng parked the car at the entrance of the racing track. He got up from the driver’s seat and walked around to the front passenger seat. He said to Qi Bufan, “You drive.”

Qi Bufan looked up at him in surprise.

Fang Yusheng said, “It’s very uncomfortable to hold it in, right? You drive. Remember, I’m still in your car. I’m different from you. I have a wife and children. Nothing can happen to me.”

Hearing Fang Yusheng’s threat, Qi Bufan felt his heart warm.

He jumped into the driver’s seat and drove Fang Yusheng as fast as lightning. They overtook the cars and arrived at the end of the road in less than two minutes.

Qi Bufan stopped the car, his short hair disheveled.

He looked at the barren land at the end of the road and could not help but lean on the car and cry.

Fang Yusheng looked at him silently.

“I brought her up from nine years old to twenty years old. It’s been eleven years! Can’t we just be father and daughter properly? You know that she actually said something like returning my child support fees today. For so long, I’ve never heard her call me daddy. She only called me brother. Today, she actually called me uncle…”

“When she was in her third year of high school, I would take the time to make supper for her no matter how busy I was. I hoped that she would do well in her exams and that her future would be bright. I thought that my words and actions were right. How could she…” Qi Bufan found it unbelievable that Dai Chukong would fall in love with him.

But it did happen.

“We broke off our father-daughter relationship today. She’s really quite ruthless to break it off just like that.”

Qi Bufan cried hard, and Fang Yusheng heard him say many things.

After he finished crying, Fang Yusheng said, “This is good too. In the future, find someone who knows her place and you won’t be afraid that she and Chukong won’t get along well.”

Qi Bufan ignored him.

When Fang Yusheng returned home, what awaited him was the hot rice Qiao Jiusheng had left in the pot. He immediately felt extremely happy.

In a small forest in London.

A man stood in front of Lisa’s tombstone. He was wearing a gray winter coat with a beige scarf around his neck. The man was no longer young. There were even a few light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his facial features were still exquisite and good-looking.

It was hard to imagine how stunning he looked when he was young.

He looked down at the tombstone in front of him, and his eyes revealed a yearning that seemed to be both painful and hateful. He muttered, “I finally escaped from the cliff, but you died…”

Footsteps rustled behind the man.

A gentle and quiet voice called out to him, causing him to tremble—

“Baoguang?”

Chi Baoguang turned around and saw a woman.

A woman in a grayish-blue coat stood under a small oak tree. She looked at the man in front of her, her quiet and deep green eyes filled with shock..
