Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love

Tong Airui gripped the phone tightly. "Why won’t you investigate? Luowa has the right to know who she is and where she came from!"

Mi Chenshuo let out a low sigh. "At least Luowa still has her second uncle supporting her for now. If we dig up something unpleasant, Third Brother worries you’ll follow in my footsteps."

"Third Brother, I’ll say it again—I will protect my woman and won’t let her suffer any grievance."

"Fourth Brother, you know your status. There are countless pairs of eyes in Xiawu watching you. I believe you have the ability to protect Luowa, but public opinion is terrifying. Can Luowa bear it? If she can’t handle it and ends up running away like Su Qing, what will you do?

Back then, Su Qing and I didn’t even dare to publicize our relationship widely. Only a few people knew, yet she cried countless times in secret. There were already signs she wanted to run away from me. I was too young then—thinking sweet words would smooth things over, only to address the symptoms, not the root cause. That’s why we ended up like this."

Tong Airui leaned against the table and was silent for a moment. "What you said isn’t without reason. I’ll think it over. Third Brother, you don’t like going home, but at least call Aunt, will you? She said she never forced you to marry Lan Ji."

"Let me take a breather. I’m afraid if I talk to her now, we’ll end up arguing."

"It’s been so many years. Just let it go—don’t hold a grudge against Aunt anymore."

"No grudge, not anymore. Just feel stifled, especially since Su Qing came back. It’s even harder to breathe."

"Third Brother, earlier I spoke from a general standpoint. Now, let me give you my personal take: if you still love her, then chase her back. If the family can’t accept you two, you can take her away. But before leaving, think it through—once you go, you’ll lose everything. And ask yourself if this woman is truly someone worth sacrificing everything for."

Mi Chenshuo chuckled and lit another cigarette. "You’re a good brother, Third Brother knows that. No matter what happens, you’ll always have my back."

Tong Airui furrowed his brows slightly. "I’ll nag you one more thing: Aunt is doing this for your own good. Find a time, sit down, and have a proper talk with her. Mothers go through so much to raise us. Even if we try to repay them, it’ll never be enough. All we can offer is filial piety and harmony."
