He said he doesn't love me

The midday sun is picturesque, shining through the clouds and painting its brilliance on the earth like a flowing scroll.

The breeze ruffled the curtains, bringing a corner of the painting into the room, waking up the person who was originally sleeping.

Sun Ran noticed the glaring light and turned over to try to block it, but he didn't expect the light on the other side to be even brighter. The housekeeper must have left the window open all night to ventilate the room.

"..."Sun Ran had no choice but to sit up with a helpless look on his face. He looked out the window. When he saw the sun hanging high in the sky, he suddenly became much more sober.

We agreed to go back to Chantilly, but at this time, it will probably be afternoon by then.

Sun Ran hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, but when he went out, he was bumped into by the maid who came to wake him up. He immediately braked to avoid knocking the person out.

"Young master, the master is back and is waiting for you downstairs." Seeing this, the maid stopped, took two steps back, and bowed respectfully to Sun Ran.

"Got it." Sun Ran straightened his clothes and followed him downstairs.

Downstairs, Zuostern and Jedaning were playing Go with their respective pieces. When they saw Sun Ran coming down, they both stopped at the same time.

"Uncle, when did you come back?" Sun Ran had just come downstairs and said the greeting when he was pulled over by Zostern to sit in his seat. Sun Ran looked at the black chess pieces in front of him with a blank face, and met Jedanin's unfriendly eyes.

He just felt a chill down his spine.

Jedanin stroked his beard and looked up at Zostyn. "Replacing players after losing? That's rare."

Zuo Siten smiled awkwardly and patted Sun Ran on the shoulder. "I came back late, so I didn't wake you up. I'll go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready. You can play a good game of chess with your grandfather."

He said this without giving Sun Ran a chance to refuse. He turned around and went into the kitchen, closing the door considerately.

This sudden change almost petrified Sun Ran on the spot, but he just glanced at the chessboard with a slight surprise, then raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Jedaning.

Jie Daning understood and cleared the chessboard again, then smiled at him, "Don't be like your uncle, always letting me do what I want. Show your true skills to grandfather."

Sun Ran licked his lips upon hearing this and said no more. After Jedaning made the first move, Nieqi rushed forward.

He made this move decisively, which made Jie Daning, who was originally prepared to hold back, immediately become serious. This kid's technique of holding the chess pieces was extremely regular. When he played chess, he looked at the chessboard and seemed to have thought about the position of the next step, and it didn't seem like he placed it randomly.

This instantly made Jie Daning interested. Meeting a worthy opponent gave him a sense of accomplishment many times greater than that gained by giving in. He glanced at Sun Ran with satisfaction and then threw himself into the game.

Perhaps because of their equal chess skills, the game lasted for more than 20 minutes without a clear winner. Zostern had come out and stood behind Sun Ran without blinking, staring at the white chess pieces in Sun Ran's hand, and guessing with Jedanin where his next move would be.

At this moment, Sun Ran had no time to observe other people's faces and expressions. All he had in mind was the chess game. Thousands of ways to win appeared automatically in his mind, as if they were stored in his mind. If he continued like this, he would surely win effortlessly.

But he moved the chess piece out of the encirclement and handed over the victory.

"Grandfather, you are still the smartest one!" Sun Ran pretended to have thought of a solution and scratched his head in distress. "Uncle, you should do it. I'm just playing house here." As he said that, he stood up and sat on the sofa, picked up a grape and put it into his mouth.

It was as if the person who was calm and composed just now was not him, but someone else.

Jedaning looked at the chessboard with a complicated expression, raised his hand and put the white chess piece back to its original position. He sighed and said slowly, "I lost. Zorn, I gave up the victory, and my grandfather doesn't care about it."

Sun Ran turned his head and looked at him blankly. He was about to explain something, but when he met the eyes of Jedaning and Zuostern, he found that he could not say anything.

Jie Daning looked at the chessboard for a long time before he burst into laughter. "I am convinced that I lost to Zhao Zhou's disciple."

Zhao Zhou, Sun Ran’s Go teacher.

Sun Ran paused while eating grapes, a little dazed. This name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it. He tried to recall the name, but found that his memory of this person was also blurry. Not to mention his face, he couldn't even see his figure clearly.

"Alright, alright, let's eat first." Zuo Siten ordered the dishes to be served and the bowls and chopsticks to be arranged, and told Sun Ran to wash his hands. He and Jedaning put away the chessboard and had no intention of continuing.

Sun Ran washed his hands obediently, and when he returned to the table, he saw that the two elders had already sat down. He looked around and walked towards Zuo Sitten. Jie Daning coughed softly and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Your grandfather has come specially to pick you up, just sit over there." Zuosthen smiled, not deceiving Sun Ran's guilt and embarrassment at all.

Sun Ran was stunned and had to sit next to Jie Daning.

"I'm sorry, it was my idea to trick you back here." Jie Daning explained softly, "Your grandmother missed you very much, but I was afraid that you would stay in China, so I pretended to be sick and used your uncle's words to coax you back here."

No wonder, even though he said he was seriously ill, he came to pick me up and was playing Go leisurely.

Sun Ran looked up at Jie Daning and saw that he looked ruddy and indeed did not look sick, so he pretended to be angry and said, "I will come back no matter what excuse you give me. Why do you have to say you are sick? Aren't you afraid that I will worry?"

Jie Daning took his hand with a complicated look, and said solemnly, "There are some things that are not convenient to talk about now. I will tell you in detail when I return to the family later."

Sun Ran looked at him in confusion, then looked at Zuo Siten, and saw that the other's expression was also not very good. He lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, then realized that something must have happened, which made them try their best to get him back.

Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but darken, "Is...something wrong?"

Jie Daning couldn't help but exert some strength to hold his hand, but then he quickly released it, "Don't think too much, we will naturally protect you youngsters to be safe."

Sun Ran pursed his lips when he heard that. So they would rather deceive him than let him come back. Does that mean that the people who have feelings for him have already gone to China?

And only in Paris can I have a chance to survive?

After all, his identity has not been exposed. In Paris, he has two huge families behind him.

Castei and Dodun, although the Dodun family is now much smaller than before, it is still a family that can stir up changes in Paris.

The three of them finished their lunch with their own thoughts. Just after one minute past two, Sun Ran got into the car with Jedaning and headed for the Castei family with the seven or eight suitcases.

"Grandfather, does this incident have anything to do with me?" Sun Ran couldn't help feeling a little scared as he watched the scenery receding.

If his presence would implicate them, he would rather bear all the consequences alone, even if the consequences would leave him covered in bruises.

As soon as Jie Daning heard this, he knew that this child had a good character. He sighed slightly, but answered the question irrelevantly, "Do you want to go see your parents? I can wait for you."

Sun Ran blinked, not understanding why he was unwilling to answer his question, but he still nodded honestly, "I want to."

So the car stopped at the cemetery, and Sun Ran walked in alone with two bunches of blooming sunflowers in each hand.

"Master, the informant reported that they didn't find the young master and are preparing to return." The driver pushed his glasses and reported the situation to Jedaning in the back seat.

Jie Daning sat up straight and looked at Sun Ran's back which was getting farther and farther away. After a long while, he came back to his senses and replied, "Let our people stop him no matter what. The longer they can stop him, the better."

The driver immediately passed on Jedanin's words verbatim, asking the informant in China to prepare for a fight to the death.

Jie Daning took a deep breath and uttered a nonsensical sentence, "They harmed my grandson, my son and daughter-in-law. They should have been left in turmoil long ago. It's only because I'm too timid that they are so unscrupulous!"

He slapped the seat with a dull sound. No one dared to respond, and no one could respond.

Sun Ran came back soon. Maybe it was because the sun was too strong, his forehead was covered with sweat. As soon as Sun Ran sat down, he felt a warm and cool touch on his forehead. He opened his eyelids and saw that it was Jie Daning.

Jiedaning took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face. His eyes were full of love and concern when he looked at Sun Ran, which made Sun Ran subconsciously want to open the door and go down.

This feeling was too strange. He and Jedanin had only met briefly in the cemetery last time, and their relationship did not seem to be that close.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jie Daning put away his handkerchief and said, "Go to sleep for a while. It will take two or three hours to get home."

As he spoke, he took the lead and closed his eyes. Sun Ran hummed, but turned his head to look out the window.

The flower field was still swaying in the mountains, which brought back his memories. It was here that he rolled down the hillside and was saved by Chris Wen...

But he still couldn't remember why he fell down by chance.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Sun Ran did not close his eyes obediently, so he had to slow down the car, trying to make Sun Ran sleepy.

Unfortunately, fate played tricks on him. Sun Ran, who had slept enough in the morning, was not only not sleepy at all, but also asked him if the car was out of gas when he saw it was going slower and slower.

The driver glanced at Jie Daning calmly, and when he saw that he opened his eyes immediately, he had no choice but to step on the accelerator and rushed out. Their original intention was to take a shortcut to avoid being blocked. The shortcut was not like the main road, with more sharp turns and downhill slopes, so they wanted to let Sun Ran fall asleep.

But they had no choice but to keep going along the road. The driver held the steering wheel tightly all the way, ready to die if they encountered a blockade.

Jie Daning had done him a favor, and he could not just sit there and do nothing while his benefactor fell into the hands of the enemy. Even if it meant death, he would escort them back to a safe place!

Sun Ran glanced at Jie Daning inadvertently, and seeing that his expression was getting uglier and uglier, he couldn't help but follow his gaze. But he saw nothing but the endless stream of cars.

Suddenly, the car braked hard, and Sun Ran, who was not wearing a seat belt, fell on the back of the passenger seat. The driver did not give him time to prepare, and turned a corner, stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the oncoming road.

Like Sun Ran, the several Honda Civics that were blocking the front also had no time to react.

"Master, young master, hold on tight." The driver exhaled slightly, and seeing that the car behind was still chasing him, he said this directly, and then showed his superb driving skills. They drove around in circles for a full half an hour before they barely got rid of the tail behind them.

Sun Ran raised his hand to cover his mouth. His stomach was churning. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have vomited in the car. Jie Daning's face was also livid, and his hands were tightly grasping the handrails. He relaxed a little and was able to use his free hands to stroke Sun Ran's back.

Sun Ran couldn't help but admire this ability of control. This was a man in his sixties. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of legendary figure the old man was when he was young.

"Get rid of them and go back." Jedaning gave the order, looking out the window. He was afraid that those people had already known his plan and were preparing to kill them to silence them.

Or...

He withdrew his gaze and gently looked at Sun Ran, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
