Chapter 1073 - Chapter 1073 1073

Chapter 1073: 1073 Chapter 1073: 1073 His eyes dim with sorrow, “Qingyue…”

“What’s the matter?” Her tone was distant.

“Qingyue, I was wrong,” he said somberly, “I won’t do that again.

I won’t seek death or starve myself anymore.”

“Uh-huh.” She nodded slightly, “Glad you’ve figured it out.”

He looked at her face, which surpasses the beauty of the world, a sharp pain in his heart, “I know you have a close relationship with third brother, I just want to stay by your side.”

“…” The last thing she wanted to hear was that.

Her facial expression turned sour, “Qinghe, there are so many good women in this world, why must you be hung up on me, a flower with no feelings for you?”

He smiled tenderly, “At least, you said you think of me like a brother.

That means I’m in your heart,” even if not with love.

Her brows furrowed tighter than the mountains and rivers, “Please, fourth brother, can you not do this?”

He smiled clear and bright, “I’ve realized, I just want to silently be by your side and watch over you.

I want nothing more.”

She threw the book on the ground irritably, “If you won’t kill yourself, I might.”

A look of urgent concern furrowed his brow, “Qingyue, please don’t do anything rash…”

“If you’re afraid I’ll do something foolish, just fall in love with someone else.”

“…” He fell silent, and after a long while, he said quietly and indifferently, “I can’t.”

She glanced at his handsome face, wondering if she should give him a couple of slaps and snap him out of it.

This young man…

Never mind, better not to hit him, lest people say she’s bullying an orphan without parents.

She saw second brother entering the courtyard door and greeted him before returning to her room.

Xiao Yishan, seeing fourth brother had recovered, although still unable to walk and willing to use a wheelchair to leave his room, was still very relieved, “Fourth brother, you look well.”

“Thank you for your concern, elder brother.” His gaze followed Su Qingyue as she disappeared into the room, his elegant eyes filled with melancholy.

“Fourth brother, she’ll never come back to you,” Xiao Yishan said, noticing his despondent gaze, and sighed, “You should consider a match with Tao Meijiao…”

“Second brother, please stop,” he said coldly, “I have no feelings for Miss Tao.”

“Feelings can be cultivated…”

“I’ve tried.

I loathe being with her,” he said with a bitter smile, “I only like Qingyue, and not to be made fun of by elder brother, but the thought of Miss Tao wanting to kiss me makes me feel sick to my stomach.”

Xiao Yishan understood that from a young age, very little could stir fourth brother’s emotions.

His temperament was always calm, he seemed easy to talk to, but once he decided on something, on someone, it couldn’t be changed.

“Second brother…” Xiao Qinghe’s tranquil gaze met his elder brother’s, “I’ve already caused Qingyue a lot of trouble.

Fourth brother has an unrequited love.

You should give up on Qingyue.

She will never be with me, the man she once chose.

And it’s even less likely she’ll be with you.

You already have Li Ruong’er, you even have Liu Haitang, you’re not lacking women.”

Xiao Yishan’s face turned ugly, “As for Liu Haitang, it was just for fun.

A woman who once ruined my face, so despicable she blamed her bastard child on me and then married another wealthy and powerful landlord, I would have let that go.

When the Xiao Family had no money, she disappeared like a ghost.

When we got money, she clung on tightly.

Ding Er was right, if such a woman who throws herself at you is willing, why not just have fun and sleep with her?

A fling at no cost is still enjoyable.
