Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean 'this is your fate'? Did anyone force you to make this choice?"

Xiao Zhan said with a gloomy expression.

How could he not be angry?

Can you imagine that Su Zixing, who got together with Su Zihao, the leader of the assassin alliance, will have a good ending?

If something really happened to Su Zixing.

He couldn't face the dead Deng Zhi!

Before Deng Zhi died, he entrusted Su Zixing to Xiao Zhan, but Xiao Zhan could not accept Su Zixing because he was with Qin Huanhuan.

Tears welled up in Su Zixing's eyes as she whispered, "Even if it doesn't have a good ending, I'll accept it, because I like the man in someone else's bed. Oh, does that make me sound like a jerk? Let me put it another way: the man I like is in another woman's bed. Does that make me seem pathetic?"

Xiao Zhan was speechless...

Su Zixing continued, "Xiao Zhan, if you want me now, it's not too late. I've said before, I don't want a title, nor do I want to compete with Qin Huanhuan for your favor. I'm willing to be the woman behind you, as long as you have time to spend with me."

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Zixing, my principles and moral bottom line tell me that this is not acceptable."

"There are countless good men in the world, why do you insist on choosing me? You are beautiful, have a great figure, and are worth hundreds of millions. What kind of man can't you find?"

Su Zixing said with a wry smile, "Xiao Zhan, you're just trying to fool me. Why can't I talk to you?"

Xiao Zhan said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I have a wife."

Su Zixing gave a bitter smile and said, "What's the use of making money? In other people's eyes, I'm just an illegitimate child, a fraudster, and the boss of a telecom fraud ring. I live under the strange gaze of others."

Xiao Zhan: "Some things are beyond your control, but luckily you withdrew in time."

Su Zixing looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes and said, "I won't advise you on anything else, but I'll just tell you one thing: no matter what kind of relationship you're in, don't be too selfless, and don't act like you'd rather the world betray you than you betray the world."

"Remember, the saying 'Every man for himself' applies equally to love and marriage."

Xiao Zhan: "I've got it. But there's a saying, 'It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.' I'm afraid I can't be the kind of person you're talking about. Su Zixing, let bygones be bygones. You've already carved out your own niche, surpassing 99% of your peers. You're exceptionally talented, and no one has the right to look down on you."

"As for what you just said, I think that's being love-struck. To put it bluntly, it's being love-struck; to put it nicely, it's being sincere about love. Because I still believe that true love exists in the world, provided that you give your heart and soul and treat others well in return. There's a saying: sincerity begets sincerity."

Su Zixing: "If I were Qin Huanhuan and heard you say that, I would be so happy I couldn't sleep. It's a pity you didn't say to me, 'Alas, we are destined to be together but not to stay together in this life.'"

"I promised Su Zihao that as long as he helps me kill Miki Hirofumi and Jack Marley, I will go back with him and wander the world with him from now on. As for what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure. Let's just take things as they come."

"Why!"

Xiao Zhan sighed softly and said, "Then I wish you a wonderful and happy life. I hope even more that you will live an independent, confident, sunny, and cheerful life."

"Synchronize with the world, live a brilliant life!"

Su Zixing said self-deprecatingly, "On the surface, I am a financial elite and a trendsetter in capital, but in reality, I am just a high-level swindler, using the most complex models and the most tempting rhetoric to weave traps that devour the wealth of ordinary people."

Xiao Zhan: "Since you know this, don't do this kind of thing again. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime."

Su Zixing looked at Xiao Zhan with deep affection and said, "Xiao Zhan, thank you. Without you, I might have died long ago. You saved me once in Southeast Asia, and you saved me again after I was diagnosed with a hereditary disease. If it weren't for you this time, Miki Hirofu might have dragged me down with him."

"I will never forget the three times you saved my life."

"I want to hug you, this hug might be our last."

As Su Zixing finished speaking, she was overcome with grief and burst into tears. Xiao Zhan, watching her, felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart…

Seeing that Xiao Zhan remained silent, Su Zixing choked back tears and said, "Are you really so heartless as to not even give me a hug?"

"Why! "

Xiao Zhan sighed, opened his arms, and said, "I'm sorry, Zixing. Forgive me. I'm not worthy of your love."

Su Zixing hugged Xiao Zhan tightly, burying her head in his chest, listening to the man's strong and powerful heartbeat. Tears unknowingly soaked the front of Xiao Zhan's clothes...

a long time,

As Xiao Zhan watched the red sun rise slowly in the east, he said, "Zixing, from now on I'm your older brother. You can call me anytime you encounter any difficulties."

Su Zixing released her hands, wiped away her tears, and smiled as she said, "I understand, brother."

After Su Zixing finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then looked up at the red sun in the east and said to herself, "The person who has entered your heart is the hardest to let go; the love that has moved you is the hardest to forget. In life, you will inevitably meet someone you love very much, but you know that you can never be together. This is called fate playing tricks on you, and you can only keep this love deep in your heart."

"Alas, life is always full of helplessness and regrets!"

Goodbye, brother.

After finishing speaking, Su Zixing strode towards Su Zihao, who was standing not far away, without turning back, as if she had made her final decision.

As Xiao Zhan watched Su Zixing and Su Zihao leave, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

He muttered to himself, "Brother Zhi, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Zixing."

At this moment, Xia Keke walked over and said, "Xiao Zhan, it's not your fault. No one can predict fate. I once read this: Meeting the right person at the right time is fate; meeting the wrong person at the right time is misfortune; meeting the right person at the wrong time is helplessness; and meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is cruelty."

"I always feel that there is a lot of profound meaning in this sentence. People with different emotional experiences can all take what they need from it to let go of regrets and comfort their hearts."

"Why!"

Xiao Zhan sighed softly and said, "That's often how it is with emotions. Love is only love when it comes at just the right time; when it comes at any other time, it's just karma."

"This statement may be somewhat harsh, but it's true in its roughness. Love that comes early or late is never as good as love that comes at just the right time. As Eileen Chang said, 'The only thing to do is to gently ask, "Oh, you're here too?"'"

"Su Zixing's choice is the best ending for me. From now on, the bustling streets and the lonely boudoir, all the lilac blossoms and all the girlish thoughts will be told to you by the railing. From now on, we will part ways and each find our own happiness. We will not regret our meeting, nor will we talk about owing each other anything. This is just right."

Xia Keke exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to know Eileen Chang's poems! This is so surprising. I never imagined that the Iron-Blooded King of Soldiers could be so romantic and melancholic."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think all elite soldiers are all brawn and no brains? We iron-blooded soldiers need not only strong strength and firm beliefs, but also high intelligence to learn various professional skills. Otherwise, we can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"Alright, that's enough, Director Xia. Let's discuss Project Mole."
