Chapter 25: Heartache

Chapter 25: Heartache.

Such an obvious flirtation made Doctor Jiang try his best to resist the urge to laugh.

Shi Caining's mouth twitched. She grunted and went to the kitchen to look for food. Just in the morning, she had cooked breakfast for three people.

Shi Caining could not remember how long it had been since she had eaten such a delicious seafood porridge. She remembered that before that incident, the Shi family was very wealthy. They were tired of eating seafood porridge and bird's nest porridge.

But after that incident, the Shi family no longer had the ability to eat good food. She was a little absent-minded. For some reason, when she saw the green eyes outside the window, she suddenly had hope.

Perhaps, Gu Kuangen... Was her hope?

If Gu Kuangen's anorexia was truly cured, she would be able to get the five million dollars that he had promised her...

'Let's hope so...'

At the Qiao family home.

The night slowly spread. In the Qiao family's dining room, everyone was eating in silence.

Qiao Chengchuan didn't have much of an appetite. He only took a few bites before he wanted to put down his bowl. Mother Qiao quickly pressed him down. "Eat more. Look at you. You've lost so much weight after going abroad for a few years."

Qiao Chengjun snorted coldly. "I think he's thinking about someone!"

Mother Qiao's face suddenly darkened. She rolled her eyes coldly at Qiao Chengjun and looked at Qiao Chengchuan. "Chengchuan, what are you thinking about?"

Qiao Chengchuan looked at Mother Qiao indifferently. "Mother, you're thinking too much. I'm not thinking about anything."

He sighed in his heart and picked up his bowl again. He didn't want Mother Qiao to worry.

"Next time, bring Shuangwei home for dinner. The two of you are about to get engaged. Why aren't you bringing her home to meet your parents?" Mother Qiao scolded.

Qiao Chengchuan's heart was heavy and gloomy.

Perhaps it was good news for him, but he couldn't be happy.

Father Qiao took a sip of the soup and said softly, "Chengchuan, tomorrow... Is the anniversary of your brother's death. You have to learn to let go of the past and accept a new person,"

"Yeah, we only have one son left. Although Chengjun is very filial, but... When I think of Chengnan, my heart hurts terribly," Mother Qiao said as tears welled up in her eyes. "If it wasn't for that damned girl, how could Chengnan..."

"Alright, it's been so long. Everyone should just let it go. Maybe this is fate. Chengnan will not be happy in the sky if he knows you guys are like this." Qiao Chengchuan said lightly, but a trace of pain quietly slipped through his eyes.

Everyone fell silent once again.

Qiao Chengchuan barely finished eating a bowl of rice. He strode up to the second floor and locked the door behind him.

His heart felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock. It was very uncomfortable.

He was going to get engaged to Yu Shuangwei. Haha!

He had thought that the person he loved the most in his life was that person. He would also resist all the pressure and firmly stay with her.

However... Fate was too cruel. There was a gap between them that could not be healed anymore. Their hearts were full of scars.

He knew that he could never go back, nor could he be with her.

The last time he saw her in the restaurant, Qiao Chengchuan found that she was pitifully thin. She had also become more tolerant, and she was no longer as flamboyant and incisive as when he was young.

She was so down and out, but he could not be happy.

"Shi Caining..." Qiao Chengchuan chanted that name in his heart. His heart ached slightly. He went to the bedside cabinet, opened the password cabinet, and took out a photo album.

He flipped to the first page, and it was the photo of him and Shi Caining when they were eighteen years old.

At that time, they were still so carefree, so sweet and ostentatious.

However, when that scene appeared in his mind, his eyes turned gloomy once again!
