Chapter 1182: Preserved the Dignity

“Don’t worry, I know my limits. Furthermore... Second Brother may not be able to attend the jewelry show. I need to stay at home.”

Shen Qianshu nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Second Brother.”

Gu Yuanli’s gaze became obscure. He reached out his hand above Shen Qianshu’s hair and caressed it lightly. “Silly girl, this is what I’m supposed to do.”

I have yet to fully atone for the sins that I have committed.

Shen Qianshu stepped forward and hugged Gu Yuanli. “Second Brother, there is no perfect human. We all commit mistakes, and I have committed mistakes before as well. A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. As long as we remain magnanimous in the future and continue walking down our paths uprightly, everything will be okay.”

“Yes, you are right!”

With a smile, Gu Yuanli gazed at this beautiful smiling girl. Those years of yearning and the unwilling bitterness in his heart suddenly surged into his head. She belonged to Ye Ling.

He had missed her!

“Little Shu, if...” The tip of his tongue was very bitter. “If I have revealed my identity to you earlier in the previous years, took you home, and chased you seriously, would you... have liked me?”

Shen Qianshu felt her heart suffocate and become heavy. “Second Brother, you are very impressive. Ghost City’s current accomplishments were all due to your efforts. Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and Sixth Brother can live their own lives as they please because you have forged ahead through the brambles and thorns. I really admire and respect you. You were the one who pulled me out of the swamp and gave me hope. If time could turn back and I have never met Master, perhaps I would have fallen in love with you. Perhaps I wouldn’t have needed to experience so much pain. I could have been carefree and become an innocent self which I had once hoped for. However... reality did not give us any chances, so I don’t know, Second Brother, thank you for liking me—it is a very honorable and prideful thing. Because your liking me proves that I am impressive myself too.”

Gu Yuanli let out a depressed sigh in his heart. The girl that he had once liked saved him face, respected his previous liking for her, and gave him... the biggest indulgence.

Nothing was more pleasurable than this. And there was nothing more that could have made him feel that this was not worth it.

“Are you happy?”

Shen Qianshu nodded. “Very happy.”

“Will you never regret it, even if Ye Ling’s days are numbered?”

“I won’t regret. I know that his days are numbered, so I want to accompany him along the final moments of his life. I don’t want him to leave any minuscule regrets. I want to accompany him through his life’s journey happily.”

Shen Qianshu’s gaze was firm, straightforward, and calm. Life and death were something that she had regarded as insignificant since a long time ago. After experiencing a selection of life and death, her entire self had changed. If she had known that Ye Ling would die soon earlier, she would have felt an uncontrollable sense of sorrow and uneasiness in her heart.

Now, she could accept it calmly.

Separation and death!

“Who said that he will definitely die?” Shen Qianshu said with a smile. “If I’m here, he will not bear to die.”

Gu Yuanli smiled and reached out his hand to stroke her head gently. “No matter what, remember in your heart that your brothers will always be behind you. As long as you need us, you can see us when you turn around to look.”

Shen Qianshu’s eyes reddened and she nodded. “Okay!”

A match of unrequited love had finally drawn to a peaceful stop. Gu Yuanli thought, You gain some, you lose some. If he and Shen Qianshu had become a couple, they may not have been able to last forever.

However, siblings would be siblings for eternity.

Kin.

He was luckier than many heartbroken men.
