A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 183 Thinking about it

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "That's not necessary. The elders and I are enough. All of you should go back and pack your things. Take everything you can, and destroy everything you can't. When I break the seal, that will be the time when you are truly free. At that time, I will take you all away from here."

"Yes, Young Master Chao."

S City, Tang Group.

Four luxury cars suddenly lined up and stopped at the entrance of Tang's Group. Su Haijun, Liao Kongjun, He Mengjuan, and Chu Ziyan, all wearing sunglasses, got out of the four cars. They walked around the front of the cars, then stood with their backs to the passenger side door, facing the company gate.

Just a few days ago, Liao Kongjun and the other two resigned from their jobs at Tang's Group and are now considering their own careers.

Not long after, Tang Qianqian appeared at the company's main entrance. When she saw Su Haijun, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she still walked towards Su Haijun and the others.

"Navy guys, Air Force guys, what brings you here!"

Su Haijun smiled faintly and said, "Qianqian, why are you alone? Where is he?"

Tang Qianqian naturally understood who Su Haijun was referring to when he said "he," and replied, "He went to inspect the companies below."

Su Haijun nodded, then took off his sunglasses and asked, "Are you free? Now?"

Tang Qianqian glanced at He Mengjuan and Chu Ziyan, then nodded.

In a private room of a star-rated hotel, five people sat together. Tang Qianqian seemed a little reserved, her gaze wandering, and she looked somewhat uncomfortable.

From the moment Su Haijun sat down, his gaze never left Tang Qianqian's face, as if he wanted to understand the heart of the woman he once deeply loved. However, he miscalculated. He discovered that he couldn't understand this woman he had grown up with, his childhood sweetheart; truly, a woman's heart is unfathomable! Although she had broken their vows of eternal love, he understood that vows of eternal love can also end; although she had betrayed the promises she had made, he understood that promises can also vanish like smoke.

Thoughts raced through my mind, my emotions rising and falling. The lovely girl I once loved so deeply, the girl I once vowed to protect with my whole life, now belongs to someone else.

The laughter and joy of the past are now vivid in his mind, yet his heart laughs, his heart cries, and even bleeds. The past—how cruel, how painful. He cruelly accepts her betrayal, agonizes over the memories, letting the past stray off course. Looking back, nothing remains.

These days, he often indulges in quiet solitude, gazing at the blue sky alone, mourning the past, listening to tuneless melodies, trying to ignore worldly affairs and the hustle and bustle of life, wanting to live a life of blissful oblivion. Because he and she had once pledged their lives to each other, had once loved each other passionately, but all of that was now just the past, a fleeting illusion. It was all an irretrievable past, leaving him alone to mourn a lost love. All of us were like the setting sun of youthful recklessness, merely passersby in this mortal world.

He said, "If possible, please grant me a lifetime of fireworks that never fade."

I remember the joy you gave me, and the misty, dusty world you left behind. My life's splendor has faded, yet I only ask for your eternal beauty, to share with me the blooming and fading of flowers. Time marches on, and for us, we are merely travelers on a long journey. But deep within those splendid memories, the poignant and beautiful songs of our journey remain.

He said, "My heart remains the same, but I can never touch your face, like the setting sun." Lost, lost forever, he thought. The vow of a lifetime of love had ended. I wondered, how many storms could their youthful impetuosity withstand? Were they like intersecting lines in a textbook, able to gaze at each other but never embrace? Time flowed on, memories lingered, still watching the sunset, still gazing at the blinding sunlight, forgetting how to laugh, forgetting how to cry, forgetting how to feel sorrow and joy.

Gazing at her beautiful, icy face, I felt a warmth beneath her icy exterior. Thinking of the past, my heart ached terribly, yet it still felt so warm and dear, but I could never have her again.

Past events become melodies, memories become tunes, and long-cherished wishes are ultimately destined to lead to a lifetime of heartbreak.

Suddenly, a saying came to mind: To love her doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess her; but if you do possess her, you must love her well.

It seems I'm destined to be with her but not to be together. So... let's leave all of this in the beautiful memories of the past!

He had many times turned his love into hatred and wanted to kill her, but after these past few days of thinking and struggling, he realized that all of this was caused by the person who should not have appeared. Therefore, he could not do that. He would not hurt her, but he would never let him go.

He thought about many things for a long time, and after he understood them, he realized that he hadn't actually lost anything. Although he couldn't be with her, because of Julian's appearance, he had wronged her first and deceived her first. Therefore, he didn't blame her; he only blamed and hated that person.

It seems that Su Haijun is a man who can take things in stride.

Chu Ziyan looked at Su Haijun, then at Tang Qianqian, and said with a smile, "Qianqian, Haijun, it's not easy for the five of us siblings to get together. Today we'll just catch up and not talk about anything else."

Su Haijun withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said, "Yes, just reminiscing, nothing else."

Feeling that Su Haijun's gaze had left, Tang Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and asked, "Air Force Brother, Sister Mengjuan, what are your plans for the future? Have you found jobs yet?"

He Mengjuan said, "What are you looking for! If we were looking for another job, we wouldn't have quit our jobs."

Liao Kongjun glanced at Su Haijun and then smiled, "We originally planned to invest in Haijun's Dilong Bar. A few days ago, a friend told me that he opened a small to medium-sized supermarket in the United States and it was quite profitable. So, Ziyan and I plan to go to the United States in a couple of days to investigate. Like my friend, we also want to open a supermarket."

Tang Qianqian nodded and said, "Sister Mengjuan, what about you?"

He Mengjuan laughed and said, "Me? Well, I'm thinking of opening a clothing store."

Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "It's so nice to be here with you guys, so relaxed and carefree, you can do whatever you want!"

Chu Ziyan smiled with a sense of relief and said, "Actually, we've wanted to do this for a long time. It was our original dream."

At this moment, the waiter brought out all the dishes we had ordered, and Su Haijun said with a smile, "Let's eat and chat."
