He wanted to rush over and ask Su Xiaocao why it wasn't him.
But in the end, she deeply suppressed this thought.
Su Xiaocao had never deceived him; although she hadn't told him, she already had someone in her heart.
But when Su Xiaocao rejected him, she did so clearly.
This was all the result of his own stubbornness.
Perhaps because of his usual self-confidence, he felt that Su Xiaocao couldn't possibly look down on him.
As long as he was sincere enough, he was sure he could move this young girl.
Thinking of this, Gu Chengxuan felt disheartened.
Just as Gu Chengxuan was struggling to start his car to leave, he suddenly caught sight of the person next to Su Xiaocao.
His mouth fell open in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
How could this be?
How could this happen?
Weren't they siblings?
How could they be together so intimately?
Even if they weren't blood siblings, they were still relatives, and it was still not permissible.
In a place like this, people would surely gossip.
Why were these two going to watch a movie?
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!
As if possessed, Gu Chengxuan followed the two into the cinema.
When he entered the cinema, he saw Su Xiaocao and Su Sanggong walking into Hall 3.
"Excuse me, what movie is playing in Hall 3?"
Gu Chengxuan asked the ticket seller.
The ticket seller replied, "Thunderstorm!"
"Thunderstorm?" Gu Chengxuan naturally knew the movie.
A few days ago, he had wanted to ask Su Xiaocao to watch it with him, but she had refused.
However, he still knew the story the movie told.
It was truly...
difficult to describe, for these two to go watch "Thunderstorm."
But in the end, Gu Chengxuan still followed them into the cinema.
Coincidentally, his seat was not far from Su Sanggong and Su Xiaocao's seats.
He quietly observed the two of them. They didn't do anything improper, but they gave off a feeling of closeness.
Gu Chengxuan felt it was incredibly ironic.
In fact, the two people sitting in front were somewhat uncomfortable as the plot unfolded.
But because neither of them had ever expressed their feelings, even though they were both uncomfortable,
they ultimately persevered until the end.
Su Xiaocao was sobbing uncontrollably.
She felt that the movie was a warning to her.
Seeing Su Xiaocao crying so hard, Su Sanggong felt immense pain.
He regretted it. Why had he brought Su Xiaocao to watch a movie?
Watching a movie was one thing, but why choose "Thunderstorm" instead of another movie?
Wasn't he just making himself unhappy?
Even if he hadn't seen the movie, he knew what it was about.
Su Xiaocao's silent tears made Su Sanggong's heart ache to the point of suffocation.
Finally, the young man could no longer suppress his true feelings and gently held Xiaocao in his arms to comfort her.
"Don't cry, don't cry! It's just a movie, don't cry!"
However, before this gesture, Su Xiaocao was merely covering her face and weeping.
When Su Sanggong embraced her, she suddenly recoiled as if pricked by a needle.
"We can't do this, we can't do this, you are my brother!"
With all her strength, Su Xiaocao quickly ran away.
Su Sanggong stared blankly for a moment before realizing that Su Xiaocao was running in the opposite direction.
He hurried to follow.
Gu Chengxuan, who saw this scene as he exited the cinema, also felt a pang of sadness.
It seemed these two young people liked each other, but they also knew it was wrong.
Gu Chengxuan didn't know what choice he should make now.
Su Xiaocao rejected him because she had Su Sanggong in her heart.
But she also knew that she and Su Sanggong were impossible.
Thus, he still had a chance.
However, Gu Chengxuan also wondered if it was worth it to like a woman who liked another man so humbly and without dignity.
Su Xiaocao had someone in her heart, someone who might forever be a cinnabar mole in her heart.
Forget it, letting others go, and letting himself go, might be the best.
He turned and left, no longer pursuing a relationship that did not belong to him.
Su Residence.
After finishing their meal, Su Xiaotian and Chi Yiyuan huddled together and started chatting.
They didn't go anywhere else, just found a corner in the main hall to talk.
The others also gathered in groups of three or five to chat. Su Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu, the four brothers, also unusually stayed in the main hall instead of returning to their rooms to read or study. They were serving tea and water.
The elders of the family also knew that Su Xiaotian and Chi Yiyuan had a good relationship since childhood. Having not seen each other for nearly a year, they surely had a lot to talk about.
They didn't disturb them, just watched the two of them talk.
However, the Su brothers, sitting together and watching the two of them happily whispering not far away, felt particularly uneasy.
"Sixth brother, do you think Second brother would be angry if he were here?"
Su Xiao Qi looked at Su Xiao Liu with confusion.
Why wasn't Sixth brother intervening? Just letting them talk so intimately?
It felt like Chi Yiyuan was more like their little sister's brother than they were.
Little sister wasn't lacking brothers, so why should this one appear?
"If Second brother were here, he might have thrown him out, but Little sister might not allow it!"
Su Xiao Liu also stared intently at the two opposite them.
He had a feeling that his sister was about to be snatched away.
People often said that when a girl grows up, she doesn't stay home. He hadn't felt it before, but now he was starting to get a hint of it?
"Then should we intervene?" Su Xiao Jiu said menacingly.
The other brothers weren't here tonight, so they should do their job of protecting their sister.
Su Xiao Jiu was glared at by Su Xiao Liu.
"What are you thinking? If you go over and disturb them now, Little sister will tear you apart!"
Didn't they know how formidable their own little sister was?
If their little sister got fierce, none of them would be a match for her.
Meanwhile, Chi Yiyuan looked at his little girl with doting eyes.
The little girl had many questions tonight, but he didn't want to answer any of them. He just wanted to look at her earnestly.
After nearly a year, he had missed her so much.
Even his dreams were filled with her image.
Su Xiaotian told Chi Yiyuan what she had been doing over the past year, while also asking Chi Yiyuan how he was doing abroad.
Chi Yiyuan briefly recounted his experiences, but he omitted the more difficult parts.
He didn't want his little girl to worry about him or be sad and upset for him.
He wished for his little girl to always be happy.
Chi Ge didn't say much on the side. Most of the time, he was carefully listening to the conversation between the two youngsters.
He wanted to know if Yiyuan was doing well in Germany, but from beginning to end, he didn't hear any interaction between Yiyuan and that family.
Not only was there no interaction with his eldest son Chi Niandong's family, but there was also no interaction with his second son Chi Nianbei and his daughter Chi Nianxi's families.
It was evident that this child had not received any care abroad.
