Chapter 861: Love Is A PromiseChapter 861: Love Is A Promise
The scenery on the 23rd floor was indeed not bad. They should be able to see the sunrise from here too… Being in a high position was lonely. He needed someone to accompany him.
This was what Xia Jinyuan was thinking when Hou Zi was speaking. Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled with confidence. “I dare to. Brother Zi, I will not let the woman I love feel alone in this world. I will not let her feel anxious about her love. I will work hard to give her a sense of security and to make her feel at ease.”
“The world is huge. There are many beautiful sceneries out there. Brother Zi, it isn’t hard to leave this place and walk on a small countryside path in a place where there are lesser people.”

Hou Zi turned quiet. Xia Jinyuan was young but the words he said were experienced and sharp. It directly dug into his heart and revealed all the worries that he had.
That’s right. Giving up his position, his power, his wealth… It was indeed hard for him. Starting as a poor little fellow, he used twenty years to win over this piece of land with his bare fists. How could he give up on his twenty years’ worth of hard work just like this?
If he leaves, what would happen to his brothers under him? How was he supposed to play this game of chess? Once he leaves and his enemies come to find him, how could he protect himself and the woman he loves?
For the past twenty years, he had been taking risks. Now, after everything had settled down, he didn’t dare to take a risk anymore. He was afraid that he would lose so he didn’t dare to bet.
“Brother Zi, you have too many worries. Your worries exceed the happiness you want to give Xia Yiwei. I admit that you love my sister but I want to tell you that there aren’t so many worries in love. Love is a promise. You can’t give her this promise so you can only choose to let go.”
They had been together for so many years. They went through thick and thin for seventeen years but in the end, because of their difference in status, in position, and their different worries, the two people that trusted each other became strangers. They weren’t able to walk together anymore and there were no intersection points in their life.
This was a regret. At the same time, it reminded Xia Jinyuan that he mustn’t let his little fox move further and further away from him. They must hold each other’s hands tightly and walk together through their journey in the military.
They had a common goal and common responsibilities. They wore the same military uniforms, the same military cap, and held the same guns… During battles, they would stick by each other’s sides and never give up on each other. This was how they would be able to keep walking together and keep loving each other.
There seemed to be tears in Hou Zi’s bloodshot eyes. However, in an instant, they disappeared. He asked Xia Jinyuan, “Do you mean that breaking up is the unavoidable result of our relationship? Nothing can redeem our love?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m not one of you. I don’t know what any of you are thinking now. I also don’t know how important this relationship is to both of you. Hence, Brother Zi, I cannot give you a reply. I don’t know what your ending will be.”
Xia Jinyuan had finished his glass of red wine. He placed the wine glass lightly on the coffee table and rubbed his tired and sore eyes. He stood up and said, “I still have to woo my future little girlfriend tomorrow. Good night, Brother Zi.”
Only the two of them understood their own relationship. No matter how clear-minded the onlookers were, they couldn’t decide what their ending would be.
There were only two endings: be together or break up. There were only two choices too: be together or break up.
It was up to them to see which ending they would choose.
Hou Zi didn’t keep Xia Jinyuan back. He seemed to be in deep thought as he bid farewell to Xia Jinyuan in a soft voice. Then, he took a small sip of his red wine and started pondering in silence.
He needed to think properly. He needed to think carefully.
