The Perfect Destiny-Chapter 2

Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [2]

Ran Qingkong is a very attractive man. At least when Chen Liguo met him for the first time, all his attention was stuck on him.

Yes, Chen Liguo is gay. If it wasn't for that trash^[1] system, he wouldn't force himself to deliberately treat Ran Tongtong well.

The smoke on his hand was taken away by slender fingers and thrown in the toilet in front of him. Ran Qingkong’s other hand held Chen Liguo’s shoulder and he said, “Xu Wenyou?”

Chen Liguo shivered slightly and then revealed a bright smile on his face. He said, “I haven’t seen you for a long time.” He turned his head and saw that Ran Qingkong was also wearing a suit.

Ran Qingkong really handsome ah, graceful sword eyebrows^[2], thin lips pressed into an unhappy frown. Chen Liguo's throat tightened as he stared.

Ran Qingkong said, “Where have you been?”

Chen Liguo was a little out of sync. The temperature of Ran Qingkon's palm spread to his shoulders through his clothes and made his face burn. He said, "Went out and around some."

“Around where?”

Chen Liguo took a breath and said, "Brother Ran……"

Ran Qingkong said, “How did you learn to smoke.”

Chen Liguo, “…” In truth, he had always smoked, but for the sake of his image, he forced himself to quit. Being interrogated by Ran Qinglong so closely, he felt a little guilty.

"And you got your ears pierced too?" Ran Qingkong did not reveal his emotions, but his brow slightly wrinkled. He stared at Chen Liguo's ear for a moment and reached to knead Chen Liguo's ear.

“…Brother Ran!” Chen Liguo was shocked by Ran Qingkong’s action and reflexively tried to retreat. Ran Qingkong just increased the strength of the hand on Chen Liguo’s shoulder.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. Chen Liguo’s throat was tight, and he wanted to just say something to ease the atmosphere, but Ran Qingkong suddenly released him and left without saying a word.

Chen Liguo looked at Ran Qingkong’s back and heaved a sigh.

“Are you afraid of him?” The sound of the system’s mechanic voice rang out, a bit of doubt in its tone.

“I am not afraid of him.” Chen Liguo lowered his head in helplessness and washed his hands. “I… like him.”

“This is why insisted on going abroad?”

Chen Liguo said, “You speak too much.”

The System stopped talking.

Chen Liguo wiped the water off his hands and left slowly.

The wedding progressed smoothly, and Chen Liguo who sat in the front row, looked at Ran Tongtong standing next to the Gao Zeng in her wedding dress and his heart felt a little sour. He felt as though he was marrying off a daughter.

As Ran Tongtong's brother, Ran QingKong also went up on stage to say a few words. But he has always been a man of few words. Even at his sister's wedding, he did not say much.

After coming out of the toilet, Chen Liguo met Ran Qingkong again, but Ran Qingkong did not take the initiative to talk to him, his expressions cold.

Chen Liguo knew that he must have been angry at him, so he felt a little bitter in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Wearing her wedding ring, Ran Tongtong shed tears of happiness. Gao Zeng's gathered her into his arms and the entire crowd felt pleased upon seeing the golden couple.

However, Chen Liguo's attention wasn't on Ran Tongtong. Years ago he had felt something that he shouldn't have for Ran Qingkong, and as a result, he had escaped to another country to let his feelings fade. But he did not expect that even after so long, his heart still wouldn't be calm in the face of Ran Qingkong.

“When can I go to the next world?” Chen Liguo poured a glass of wine into his mouth and asked System.

The System said, "That'll depend on Ran Tongtong."

Chen Liguo turned to Ran Tongtong again and found that the progress bar on Ran Tongtong's head had changed from 88 to 89—a wedding only increased the progress bar by so little.

Chen Liguo’s head began to ache again.

The wedding of the Ran family's youngest daughter would naturally be grand and celebrities from all walks of life were invited. As the illegitimate son of the Xu family, Chen Liguo is not quite as conspicuous.

While drinking his wine, he sneaked a peek at Ran Qingkong, but he found that Ran Qingkong had disappeared……

"Hey, where's Ran Qingkong?" Chen Liguo asked the System.

The System was silent for a while, and just when Chen Liguo thought he wouldn't answer, he heard the System whisper, “Went to the hallway with a woman.”

When Chen Liguo heard the word 'woman', his heart tightened. He said, “Do I know the woman?”

The System said, "Know."

"Who?" Chen Liguo asked.

The System answered, "Your sister."

"……" F*ck^[3].

As explained before, Chen Liguo is an illegitimate child in this world. He also has a brother and a sister. But anyways, the most unfavored in the family is him.

"If Ran Qingkong is with that cheap sister of mine, what do I do?" Chen Liguo conversed the System.

“I don’t know.” System honestly answered. He said, “Ran Qingkong had died when Ran Tongtong was in High School. I don’t know what his fate is like afterward.”

Chen Liguo slammed the glass on the table and said gloomily, "Really dislike ah."

When the System heard Chen Liguo say this, he immediately raised his vigilance and said, “Calm down, don’t forget the first world where you did not hold back and wasted a few decades."

Chen Liguo said, “Okay, okay, I know.” It seems that even if Ran Qingkong is with his sister, he has to recognize it.

Even though he said that Chen Liguo's eyes would keep wandering to the hallway.

The System had not lied to Chen Liguo. Not a moment later, he saw Ran Qingkong and his cheap sister come out of the hallway. The two people were still talking, but looking at their satisfied expressions, it was clear that they had reached a consensus about whatever they had been talking about.

Chen Liguo felt as though the good cabbage that he had painstakingly raised had just been dug up by a pig.

He stared indignantly at Ran Qingkong who was still talking to Chen Liguo's sister, unaware of Chen Liguo's stare. Suddenly he turned and looked in Chen Liguo's direction.

Chen Liguo quickly bowed his head and made a serious drinking appearance.

"Wenyou." The outcome was beyond Chen Liguo's expectations. That sister of his who usually looks at him with contempt, Xu Luoya, actually took the initiative to come over and talk to him this time.

Chen Liguo was shocked. "Need something?"

Xu Luoya said, “How come you didn't tell us in advance about your return?”

Chen Liguo wants to tell you in his heart? Tell you for what? Are you not eager for me to die outside so you can save money and not buy a cemetery? One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

But he still put on an innocent expression and smiled shallowly, “Came back too suddenly, and there was no time.”

Xu Luoya said, “Which country did you go to?”

Chen Liguo said, "Went to a lot of places, wandered around here and there."

Xu Luoya heard this and looked at Chen Liguo with eyes with contempt. She tried to suppress these emotions but still revealed a little bit in the end. She asked, “Now that you’re back, aren’t you coming home to take a look?”

Chen Liguo said, "Yeah…… once I finish attending Tongtong's wedding, I'll go home and take a look."

Xu Luoya nodded with satisfaction, she said, “Are there no flowers in the world that you must hold onto a single one?” As she said this, she revealed a sympathetic expression.

For in the eyes of everyone, Chen Liguo who was attending the wedding of his secret love of many years was pitiful and worthy of sympathy.

Chen Liguo put a piece of ice in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it. It was as though he had not seen Xu Luoya’s act of feigning pity.

After attending the wedding, Chen Liguo refused invitations from his old friends, returned to the hotel alone, packed up his bags, and went home.

The System asked him why he was so proactive this time around, Chen Liguo said, “Not active? If I keep on being inactive Ran Qingkong will take Xu Luoya home!”

The System said, “This is a good thing, if he marries Xu Luoya, then you'll be less likely to get close to him.”

Chen Liguo: "Good my ass."

When he thought of Ran Qingkong and Xu Luoya getting together, he felt angry.

When the taxi arrived at home, the old servant saw Chen Liguo push open the door and showed a surprised look, but he did not have the courage to ask too many questions and only called out Young Master Xu.

Chen Liguo snorted and dragged his luggage back to his room. Fortunately, although the Xu Patriarch did not care for this son of his, he did not treat him unfairly and his room was still cleaned during the time that he had been gone.

Chen Liguo put away his luggage, took a shower, and then went to sleep. However even while he was asleep, his mind was filled with Ran Qingkong's cold face.

Early in the morning on the first day, Chan Liguo was awakened by his phone. He picked up in a daze and heard Xu Luoya say, "Are you still sleeping? Hurry and get up, I have some business with you."

Chen Liguo stunned for two seconds then immediately woke up and said, “How do you know my phone number?” After he left the country, he had used all the methods he knew to change it.

Xu Luoya said, "What I want to find, how would I not be able to find it?"

Chen Liguo: “…” He didn’t believe that it was Xu Luoya who found out.

“Alright, Ran Tongtong gave it to me.” Xu Luoya said, “Are you still sleeping?”

Chen Liguo said, “Mm… got up now.” Don't know what Xu Luoya is finding him for, to be in such a hurry.

“Okay, you hurry up and get here, I have something to say to you.” After Xu Luoya said the address, she hung up.

After washing up, Chen Liguo casually ate some bread and drank some milk and then headed to the address that Xu Luoya gave.

The System saw Chen Liguo being so proactive from and was puzzled, "Haven't you always disliked her? Why are you being so cooperative today?"

Chen Liguo faintly said, “She has such a good relationship with Ran Qingkong, I don't feel at ease.”

Other Notes:

The third translator note made me blush when I wrote it, do you believe it? I spent ten minutes mulling over whether I should censor the swear word or not… I’m perfectly fine with reading swear words and thinking them, but reading and writing are two different things. The worst swear word I might’ve said (aloud) might’ve been “crap”… (#^^#)ゞ
