However, when he thought about how, even if they had made a move back then, they might not have been able to kill Bo Junyan and might even have become his greatest enemy, he instantly wilted.

He now deeply understood what the quote "Ji sheng Yu, he sheng Liang"1 meant!

​​

Since there was already the Long family and Long Feiting, why was there a need for an existence like Bo Junyan?

Apart from the Bo family, the Long family was not afraid of anyone else…

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?" Mu Huan asked concernedly.

Long Feiting did not speak. He only picked up the bottle beside him and gulped down the alcohol.

Mu Huan frowned and was about to say something when Long Feiting grabbed her arm and said pitifully, "Xiao Huan, like me a little, just like me a little…"

Mu Huan: "…"

"Xiao Huan, I really like you. I like you so much. You're the only one I've liked since I was young. I've only ever wanted to find you. Xiao Huan… I…" Long Feiting's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Long Feiting liked Mu Huan deeply. He liked her a lot more than Bo Junyan liked her. He even desired Mu Huan more than Bo Junyan did.

That's because he wanted it so much, but he'd never possessed it for even one day.

The more one couldn't get something, the more one yearned for it. The more one wanted it, the more one couldn't let it go.

Mu Huan: "…"

Usually, she would stop interacting with those who wanted to pursue her. However, Long Feiting was different.

Perhaps it was the revolutionary friendship they had had since they were young, or perhaps it was because he had saved her life that she treated him as a friend, a brother. She did not want to see him suffer, nor could she be ruthless to him.

But she couldn't give him what he wanted.

Previously, she'd had no feelings for her ex-husband. Back when she couldn't remember him, she couldn't even give Long Feiting what he wanted, let alone now.

"Long Feiting, why don't I get Eisen to hypnotize you?" If she could make him forget his feelings for her, he wouldn't be so upset and unable to let go.

He was such a good catch. Anyone he liked would have a beautiful life. Such a good person shouldn't have to suffer.

"No! I don't want to forget you! Even if I can only watch you and Bo Junyan live a good life for the rest of my life, I don't want to forget you!" Memories of her were the best ones in his life. Even if he couldn't be with her in this life, even if he would be lonely for the rest of his life, he had to remember her, remember his love for her, and love her.

Mu Huan: "There's plenty of fish in the sea."

"But I like only you, a unique flower. There's no one else I like…" No matter how many good women there were in this world, he didn't like them. He liked only her.

Mu Huan: "…"

She did not speak again, and neither did Long Feiting. He did not know what else he could say because he knew that she did not like him. Even if he knelt and begged her to like him, she would not do so.

He could only drink.

Wu Xingye, who was beside him, did not know what was wrong. Initially, he was very normal. Later on, he became abnormal. He drank one glass of alcohol after another with Long Feiting. Mu Huan could not persuade them at all.

Just as she was wondering if she should knock them out and take them away…

"Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Mu Huan followed the voice and saw a few strong men covered in tattoos blocking Li Meng's way.

She narrowed her eyes dangerously and stood up to walk toward them.

The tall and strong man in the lead said as he grabbed Li Meng's hand, "Little Asian Doll, come, stop pretending. We know you like us. Come with us…"
