nChapter 445: Admitting Defeat

nTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

nAfter sending the two off, Ling Chuan immediately went to the restaurant the little girl had brought him to.

nBecause he didn’t remember anything. He didn’t remember where she lived, much less where she often went.

nThe only memory he had of her was when he first woke up and saw her. Then, he couldn’t help but be moved. He fell for her, just like that.

nIf she came looking for him, it would be here, right?

nShe had left from here!

nLing Chuan waited outside the door for nearly an hour.

nFrom beginning to end, he didn’t see the figure he wanted to see. He suddenly wondered if she had gone to the hospital.

nAfter all, he was a patient now. Who would hang around a restaurant? If she looked for him, it would be at the hospital, right?

nLing Chuan immediately returned to the hospital. Little did he know…

nHis little girl showed up at the restaurant as soon as he left.

nPerhaps this was how fate played with people sometimes!

nIf they knew each other from before, he should have her number, right?

nThen, he could call her. Ling Chuan suddenly thought of his phone.

nHowever, his old phone had been taken away by Ling Mo.

nFrom what he heard, it was broken when he got injured. The hardware, including the SIM card, had been crushed and couldn’t be fixed.

nThe man sat silently in the empty ward.

nHis calm eyes were filled with the image of the girl’s cute little face.

nWhen she picked up food for him and winked at him proudly, she was especially cute! So cute~

n“Alright, it’s just a woman!”

nShen Liang patted his shoulder comfortingly.

nHe actually knew a little about Lu An, but now that she had deleted her Weibo account and wasn’t trending anymore, it might not be that easy to find her.

nBut maybe…

nHe also wanted to know how much this guy liked that girl, or how much she liked him.

nIn the end, Shen Liang chose to stand on Ling Mo’s side.

nAs a bystander, even though he knew that his friend was in pain, he didn’t say anything.

nAs long as they were truly in love, they should be able to withstand this test, right?

nHe really wanted to see what the outcome was.

nShen Liang looked down at the photo of a woman which he himself kept close to his chest.

n…

nIt was already 3:30am, but Little Sister wasn’t back yet.

nThe five brothers and grandfather were already about to go crazy.

nJust as the brothers recalled that there was still a restaurant they had yet to check, they saw…

nLittle Sister came back from outside.

nShe was dressed in a thin white jacket and light-colored jeans. She looked to be in high spirits, and there was a light smile on her lips.

nIf you looked carefully, however, it wasn’t difficult to see that her eyes were redder than a rabbit’s.

nThe rims were a little red and even swollen.

nShe had clearly been crying earlier, and crying hard!

nHowever, there was no trace of it in her open expression now. She smiled at them and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Grandpa, I’ve decided. Why don’t our entire family go to the capital?

n“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to go, but I want to take a look.

n“I was already worried about Dad going alone, but now…

n“It just so happens that I’ve agreed to film a variety show there, so…”

n“So, you’re not doing it for your…”

nThe brothers subconsciously spoke, but immediately shut up.

nTheir expressions were worried.

nLittle Sister’s eyes darkened slightly, but she admitted frankly, “That’s right!

n“I indeed want to see him again!

n“He suddenly left without saying a word. I don’t know how I offended him. Of course I have to go and ask him about the situation!” I’ll take it as giving up completely after that!

nIf she didn’t see him and clarified things, she probably wouldn’t be able to walk away.

nShe was just that serious a person. When there was a problem, she had to solve it. Otherwise…

nAfter this, she might not be able to do anything else.

nJust like how she had suddenly realized that she liked him back then, and then somehow confessed.

n“Mm.”

nThe brothers didn’t say anything else.

nWhat else could they say?

nHowever, they couldn’t just leave.

nThey were worried that the d*mn man might come looking here after they left…

nBased on their understanding of that d*mn man, he wasn’t this heartless.

nPerhaps it was because of Little Sister’s words, but the brothers suddenly started to think about it seriously.

nThey even felt more and more that there was something fishy about this matter.

nBut the brothers were doomed to be disappointed.

nLing Chuan had already completely forgotten about Lu An, his relationship with her, and even Grandpa.

nHe didn’t remember where they lived, nor did he remember where Grandpa’s house was.

nThus, he was doomed to be unable to find this place.

nOn the other side, Ling Chuan found a more suitable place near the hospital and waited. He thought that he could wait until the little girl appeared again, but it was winter, and pure white snow fell from the sky.

nHe never saw the girl he loved again.

nLittle did he know that the girl he loved was in Beijing. From time to time, she would make an excuse to wander around his residence there, thinking that she could pretend to meet him coincidentally, but…

nShe never met him.

nNot at all.

n…

nOne day, it snowed heavily, and it piled up on the ground.

nLing Chuan, who was watering the plants at home, suddenly received a call.

nThe man’s handsome face darkened. He immediately put on his coat and left.

n…

nA few hours later, Ling Chuan appeared in Ling Mo’s room in the villa he had grown up in.

nLooking at a certain person pretending to be sick on the bed, Ling Chuan’s expression was dark and furious.

nLing Mo, who knew that he was wrong, naturally confessed immediately. He said in an aggrieved voice, “Uncle, I know I was wrong. Just stay!

n“I don’t know anything. You keep saying that this is Dad’s business and that it’s time for me to take over and learn, but I just can’t. I didn’t even pass compulsory education. Even if you teach me remotely, I still can’t do it. How do you expect me to learn?

n“Then, at least, you should teach me face to face…”

nThe young man’s eyes were red, and he looked a little guilty as he stole glances at Ling Chuan from time to time.

nHe was no longer the fearless young man who only wanted to avenge his father and clear his name.

nCompared with that, especially after experiencing the difficulties of supporting a family, he was realizing more and more that his little uncle had once given up everything for him. He didn’t want to stay in such a big and empty mansion anymore. Even if he didn’t have parents or even grandparents, he still hoped that he could at least live and get along well with his little uncle.

nThus, he wasn’t afraid to admit defeat. Dignity wasn’t that important to him anymore.

n“Okay?

n“Will you stay?”
