Chapter 626: 559 Within this week, I want to attend Niannian’s wedding.
Both parties received the Queen of Qing Lin at the airport and then headed to the President Mansion.
At the same time, Zhongli Yuting and his wife had already arrived at the President Mansion.
Although Zhongli Yuting and his wife knew that the King of Qing Lin would soon visit Anlin, they hadn’t expected the day to come so quickly.
Zhongli Wuzhi was really planning to marry Princess Chinian of M Country!
Zhongli Yuting, despite trying various methods to test his son’s true feelings, found that he really didn’t understand his son at all anymore.
"I know what I’m doing. Xiaoer and I... it’s impossible now..."
Zhongli Wuzhi had called Zhongli Yuting on his way to the airport to receive the King of Qing Lin, hoping that he and his mother would be prepared.
"What do you mean ’impossible’? Haven’t you cleared up the misunderstandings between you? Is it that Xiaoer... is still angry with you? In that case, Dad will go to the Lu Family and put in a good word for you. After all, Lu Yonghuai won’t really refuse to give me face."
"Dad... it’s really impossible now..."
"Wuzhi..."
The suppressed sobbing that came through the phone clenched Zhongli Yuting’s heart with pain.
"Dad, Chinian... actually suits me well. She’s very sweet, very obedient. Although she can’t speak, communicating with her isn’t difficult. I’m also of age for marriage, and you’re both concerned about my marriage, aren’t you?"
"Of course, your mom and I are concerned about your marriage, which parent isn’t? But we never wanted you to rush into a marriage out of concern for us! The person you are choosing now is someone you are to spend a lifetime with!"
"Hehehe..."
"You little brat, you can still laugh at a time like this! What’s so funny?"
"Dad, it’s just ironic to hear such words from you."
"Ironic about what? Am I not faithful to one woman?"
"But Dad, you were also quite a heartbreaker before you got married. I know all about it."
Zhongli Wuzhi wiped his nose and looked out the window, chuckling softly.
He still had the mood to chat with Zhongli Yuting.
But this feigned ease in his voice was something Zhongli Yuting couldn’t find reassuring, no matter what,
"You don’t know shit!"
Zhongli Yuting was blunt,
"Wuzhi, Dad knows you like Xiaoer, knows that there have been many women around you, but with Xiaoer, you were sincere."
Zhongli Wuzhi continued to look out the window, his eyes red and teary, his eyelids burning hot, unable to cool down.
"Do you know... how hard it is for a man in this life to come across a woman he truly likes and admires from the bottom of his heart?"
"...It’s not that hard, not as you make it seem, haha."
Zhongli Wuzhi sniffed and licked his lips,
"Dad, get ready. We’ll probably arrive at the President Mansion at around five. Don’t let you and Mom arrive too late."
"Wuzhi!"
Zhongli Yuting felt Zhongli Wuzhi was trying to hang up and quickly shouted his name loudly!
Zhongli Wuzhi pursed his lips, his teeth trembling lightly...
He clenched his hand into a fist, biting it to prevent the sound of him sobbing miserably from leaking out.
The view outside the car window was the same as every other day.
Cars coming and going, dazzling shop windows, lovers walking cheerfully on the sidewalks... The downtown area was filled with noise, mixing the joys and sorrows of the world.
What was so special about him?
In his reckless youth, he thought everyone would revolve around him, believed that being showered with women’s affections was a sign of his success.
Now, he realized...
The world is so vast and broad, to hold someone’s heart, to protect someone’s heart, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Wuzhi... didn’t the courtroom judgment end today? I heard from those who returned that you were very composed in court, didn’t embarrass Xiaoer. Moreover, you protected Xiaoer and severely punished the criminal."
"..."
"Wuzhi, talk to Dad, will you? Why is it impossible? Xiaoer likes you."
Even though Zhongli Wuzhi was biting his fist to suppress his sobs, Zhongli Yuting could still hear his heartbreak through Zhongli Wuzhi’s breath.
This child... he’s thirty already, and I’ve never seen him cry so sadly before.
To make such a grown man, who’s usually so carefree and untamed, cry like a child.
This Xiaoer... truly resides in Wuzhi’s heart.
Zhongli Wuzhi wiped his face, his snot and tears mixing on his hand, not caring about anything else, just wiping it on his body, trying to calm his emotions,
"Dad, she has given up on me... she said, she said... wuwu..."
