He said he doesn't love me

The next day was Qingming Festival.

Li Cheng followed Li Xujing to worship their ancestors, but on the way back down the mountain, they met Li Qihe, Li Cheng's grandfather, who was also preparing to go up the mountain.

"Dad, why did you come here alone? Without anyone to accompany you?" Li Xujing handed the unused incense in his hand to Li Cheng and stepped forward to support him, but saw Li Qihe looking at Li Cheng coldly. After a long time, he waved at Li Cheng, motioning him to come over.

Li Cheng retreated instead of advancing, turned around and walked past the two of them, going straight down the mountain.

"...This kid has just this kind of temper. Don't be angry." Li Xujing smiled awkwardly. Although he knew that his son was angry with his father, he was caught in the middle and didn't know what to say to ease the gap between the grandfather and grandson.

Li Qihe pursed his lips, said nothing, and let others help him up the mountain.

"He... has lost weight." After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Li Qihe looked at Li Xujing and asked, "Didn't he eat much?"

Li Xujing nodded, "You always say you have no appetite. You'll get angry if you keep talking too much." He shrugged, looked at his gray-haired old father, thought for a while, and said, "If it were you, I would think you should be like Mr. Tong and not care about anything, then things wouldn't be so awkward."

Li Qihe squinted at him and said with a half-smile, "How do you know he didn't care? Li Cheng is not your child, nor is he my junior. Can the old man really bear not to ask anything and not care about anything?"

Li Xujing curled his lips and chose not to speak.

Anyway, his father is always so arbitrary and never listens to others.

"Xu Jing, do you hate me?" Li Qihe said after a long silence.

Li Xujing was stunned, but he couldn't say he didn't hate her. If his father hadn't interfered, he and his wife wouldn't have been separated for so long, causing Li Cheng to be paranoid and possessive now.

"Father, it's no use talking about this now. We haven't really lost contact, we just haven't seen each other for a long time." Li Xujing sighed, "Why do you suddenly bring this up?"

"I know what you are thinking, but I really didn't mean it." Li Qihe raised his eyes and looked at the child who was much taller than him, and said softly, "Your mother passed away early, and I raised you alone. I thought it was a beautiful woman with a short life, but now I think our fates are not compatible and our horoscopes are incompatible."

"So later, I severely separated you, and now I want to repeat the same trick, trying to keep you both safe. But I forgot, child, but I forgot... I didn't fall in love with her because of so-called fate, I just fell in love with a person... I was wrong. Go back and tell him that I won't care anymore, and tell him not to hate me. I'm sorry, son, it was your father who understood it too late. Say sorry to Xiaoshu and Qingyu on my behalf."

Li Xujing blinked, and seeing that he was about to leave, he forcefully led the man down the mountain and stuffed him into the back seat of Li Cheng's car.

"Qingyu, your grandfather has something to tell you." Li Xujing smiled at his father and patted his son's shoulder. "You two can have a good chat. I'll go call your mother."

After he finished speaking, he closed the car door and walked aside alone, leaving the space for the grandparents and grandchildren.

"What do you want to say?" Li Cheng looked out the window. He really couldn't think of what this person could say to him other than to persuade him to let it go and go on the blind date with peace of mind.

Li Qihe was silent for a while, then took out a photo from his bag. He sighed and handed the photo to Li Cheng. He looked up at Li Cheng and said, "He is not dead. My people took this photo at Lanxia's place two days ago. But I don't know where he is now."

Li Cheng looked at him suddenly, reached out and snatched the photo.

The photo shows a relatively unfamiliar face, but if you look closely, you can still vaguely make out Sun Ran's appearance. His black hair has been dyed iris blue, his eyebrows and eyes have become much gentler, and he must have been talking to someone when the photo was taken, his pink lips slightly parted, and it can be seen that he has improved a lot in the past three years.

"...So, you always knew he was fine, right?" Li Cheng looked at the photo in disbelief, then turned to look at Li Qihe. After a long silence, he asked harshly, "So you watched me become increasingly depressed, and watched me miss him so much that I couldn't eat or drink...but you knew from the beginning that he wasn't dead, right?!!"

Li Qihe was stunned by his fierceness, and waved his hands when he came to his senses. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't save him. They saw him by chance. So I don't know where he is now."

Li Cheng had a cold face, obviously not believing it.

If he hadn't saved the person, how could he have known Sun Ran's location by such a coincidence, and sent the photo back at such a coincidence.

"Qing Yu, now that you know he's fine, you... don't think too much about it. If something happens to you, we and he will be sad, right? Grandfather knows he was wrong, and he will never interfere in your affairs again. Please forgive grandpa, okay?" Li Qihe cleared his throat. "To make it up to you, I can send someone to bring him back. If he has moved to another place, we will look for him and we will find him."

Li Cheng ignored him and stared at the photo. He hadn't seen this face for a long time. He was about to take a closer look, but the next second, he saw that the ring was no longer on the other person's hand.

Who are you talking to with such a bright smile?

In these three years, has he forgotten himself and been with someone else?

Li Cheng pursed his lips, put the photo into his pocket, and then looked at Li Qihe, "Does he... have someone he likes?"

Li Qihe looked at his expression, thought for a while, and said, "I heard that someone is pursuing him, but I don't know whether he agrees or not."

"The ring is gone..." Li Cheng raised his hand and looked at his ring. For some reason, he suddenly felt that he, who had been waiting for three years, was so funny at this moment.

He left without saying a word, and now he took off the ring that was originally theirs alone without saying a word...

Sun Ran, in your eyes, what am I...

We are obviously not divorced, why did you take off your wedding ring? Did you lose it?

He calmed down a bit, took out the photo and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more ridiculous he felt. The necklace that Ajie Luo gave him was still there, and the bracelet that his father gave him was also there, but the only thing missing was the ring that he gave him...

"So, you chose to give me this today because of what your grandmother said?" Li Cheng put the photo away again and looked at Li Qihe, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Since he is fine and chose not to come back... I will be fine and won't do anything stupid." He sighed and planned to let Siwei Te go and look for him first. No matter what the other party meant, he wanted to ask him in person.

The most taboo thing between two people is that they have no idea about a small matter and have to rely on imagination and suspicion to figure it out.

"It's good that you think this way. Do you know how scared I was when I heard your grandmother say that?" Li Qihe sighed heavily, "It's good that you think it through. It was all my fault before. I was too obsessed with the so-called fate."

Li Cheng knew that Li Li Qihe could never forget his wife. Even though he met Tan Yuzhi later, his wife who died young was always in his heart.

I think his persistence in fate is also a kind of remembrance of his predecessors.

"Don't say that. You are the elder. No matter what happens, we will not be really angry with you. I hope you can keep your word and stop interfering in our affairs." Li Cheng gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, I am also wrong. I hope you don't blame me. I haven't contacted you in the three years since I left home. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's okay, Qingyu. I'm already very happy that you're willing to call me grandpa, so how can I blame you?" Li Qihe felt relieved and smiled at him, "When he comes back, you two will be reunited. Then take him to meet your mother. Xiaoshu will be very happy."

Li Cheng nodded, "Mother has already met him. The people who followed me to look for people these days were sent by mother and grandfather."

Li Qihe suddenly realized, "I was wondering why my people said that you already have helpers around you, it turns out they are from the Tong family."

"Well, Grandfather, let's go back first. I have to go back to Nanjiang tomorrow because the company has a cooperation that requires me to go there." Li Cheng opened the car window and called Li Xujing to get in the car, then said to the two of them, "I will stay in Nanjiang during this period of time. Contact me anytime if you have anything."

Li Xujing was relieved to see that the two of them no longer had the incompatible aura they had before. It seemed that there was no problem, but why did Li Cheng go back to Nanjiang?

"Let others handle the company's affairs. You finally came back, but you leave so suddenly. Grandma will be angry." Li Xujing said, "At least stay with her for a few days."

Li Cheng glanced at the rearview mirror and backed up to go back to the courtyard. "The roses he likes are about to bud. I have to go and see them myself to prevent them from getting spoiled."

Hearing this, the two people in the car smiled at each other and pretended not to hear it tacitly.

The three of them returned to the courtyard happily. Li Doudou had been waiting at the door early in the morning. When he saw people get off the car, he rushed to the three of them, wagging his tail to ask for a touch.

Li Cheng rubbed its head and walked into the door first.

He said hello to Tan Yuzhi and went back to the room. Li Cheng entered the room and locked the door, then took out the photo from his bag and looked at it carefully. He narrowed his eyes, a little curious about who was sitting opposite Sun Ran, who could make him smile so unguardedly.

"Beep beep..."

After thinking about it, he simply called Siwei Te.

The person on the other end picked up the phone after a while, obviously busy.

"Mr. Li, is there any news about the young master?" the other end asked, as if this was the only possible connection between them now.

Li Cheng nodded and sent the photo. "This was taken by my grandfather's people by chance. He should still be in Lanxia. Go look for him there. Maybe he is still there."

Siwei Te took a look at the photo. The decoration inside the store was very grand, like a high-end French restaurant. He said yes, turned around and left the place, heading towards a nearby French restaurant.

At this time, Lanxia Weng'an, the young man with dyed blue hair looked helplessly at the man in front of him who was trying to approach him, with resistance written all over his face.

But the person in front of him had no self-awareness at all, and wanted to kiss his face with a playful smile.

"If you do this again, I will no longer be friends with you." The young man said with a straight face, warning him seriously, "I don't like this."

The man could only shrug his shoulders in dismay, smiling ingratiatingly, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn't that enough? No more joking, don't be angry, don't be angry. Oh, by the way, why do you suddenly want to go back to China?"

The young man thought for a moment, touched the ring he wore against his chest, and said softly, "He said that someone in China is waiting for him. That person is my lover, and I want to find him."

The man curled his lips. "You don't even know his name, how can you find him? Your friend didn't tell you his name or where he lives."

"Yes, he lives in China. What's his name..." The young man scratched his head and couldn't remember the name of the person he was looking for after thinking for a long time. "Oh, I'll ask him in a few days when he's free."

The man looked at him speechlessly, "So how long are we going to wander around like headless flies, my young master?"

The young man spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know, but took the lead to leave Weng'an. He pointed at the tall building opposite and said, "I have a hunch that he should be in that direction."

The man took a look, raised his hand and tapped the young man on the forehead, "Take a good look, isn't that the place we went yesterday?! You are a directionally challenged person, you obviously don't know the way but still insist on leading the way. Come with me, we will go back to my house first, my dad's cooking is delicious, let me show you some."
