Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Chapter 38: Causing Trouble



“Sorry about that, everyone, but all of the Gongs are righteous and sometimes a little rash in handling things. I hope you can understand. Please, go ahead having fun.”

People all returned to the hall and resumed their fun. The incident just now was as trivial as an advertisement in the middle of the TV series.

As for Yan Xiuya’s words, everyone took them seriously. Her message was clear. People shouldn’t mess with the Gongs who valued family ties so much as to be unreasonable. Therefore, anyone who set himself against the Gongs would meet his own doom.

Besides, they got help from the Zhang Family, the Fu\ Family and the Zhuo Family. Few people in the imperial capital and even all over the world dared to act presumptuously.

After the show, it was time to leave.

Due to this little incident, Feng Qi left with Xiaoyu ahead of schedule.

Zhang Qilin and his buddies walked towards the hall.

“Wait a second, Brother Lin, is that you?”

Zhang Qilin walking in the front held his steps due to the heartache he felt.

The other two men were like finding a new continent. Under their surprised gaze, Si Wan slowly walked to Zhang Qilin.

The painful look on his face aroused people’s sympathy.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“It’s been a long time, Wan!”

Sure enough, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Every summer vacation, Si Wan used to play at Gong’s house, so did Zhang Qilin. But at that time, she only got Gong Siming in her eyes and hardly paid any attention to a fair-skinned little boy who was always wearing a pair of glasses standing next to Gong Siming.

She had been carrying the torch for Gong Siming since childhood, and she was determined to marry him when she grew up, but Gong Siming always made fun of her.

He used to take Si Wan to the mountains for fun but left her alone in the cave. At the beginning, she was very scared, but Gong Siming always returned for her late. When he finally appeared with his men, Si Wan would rush over in tears.

Gong Siming always pushed her away and laughed at her for being a coward.

But one would turn blind to everything when she was in love. Even though she was terrified, she would always agree whenever Gong Siming offered to take her to the mountains. For if so, she could hug him with a good reason.

Back when she was six, Gong Siming asked her out again, but it suddenly rained.

Si Wan waited in the cave for a long time till dusk. She was too frightened to cry lest some predators would be attracted.

Just when Si Wan was about fall into despair, a streak of light came in.

Then a small and thin figure appeared. The figure, all soaked, was carrying a pink raincoat in his arms.

He giggled at her.

She had never thought such an inconspicuous person would appear when she was in desperate need of help.

Along their way back, Zhang Qilin held her hands. He led the way, and she followed. When they got back, she was safe and sound, but he had a high fever and countless wounds on his body.

When he was asked what had happened, he lied that he went into the mountains for fun and accidentally got hurt.

Since then, he secretly followed her to the mountains for six consecutive years. When Gong Siming left, he would keep her company, and when Gong Siming returned to pick her up, he would hide and then secretly followed them down the mountains.

From then on, she had been calling him brother Lin, and he called her Wan.

When Si Wan was thirteen, she once didn’t see Zhang Qilin in the Gong’s house. She asked Gong Siming why brother Lin was not there. But ever since then, she had never seen Zhang again.

Gong Siming told her Zhang Qilin was not willing to see her for she was too stupid.

The reunion today was beyond her expectation.

The once thin and small boy already grew up into a handsome, tall and tough Prince Charming.

“It’s been such a long time, I thought you wouldn’t talk to me.”

She tried hard to contain her emotions and keep herself from crying.

Despite her suppression, tears rolled down. How could the simple expression of ‘It’s been a long time’ relieve her from her grievances and yearnings all these years?

Moreover, when they reunited over a decade later, he saved her from the predicament once again.

“Sorry, when you were married to Ming, I was abroad and couldn’t attend the wedding. Do you like the present I sent you?”

A wedding present? She couldn’t recall receiving any. She immediately figured it was because of Gong Siming.

He was not even willing to acknowledge her identity as his wife. How would he allow her to receive wedding presents from others?

She couldn’t bear to see brother Lin hurt and was willing to shoulder all the misfortunes alone.

She then put on a cheerful look and wiped away her tears.

“I do, I like it very much. Actually, I like every present you sent me.”

The other two men seemed to understand something. Beyond their expectation, Childe Zhang was the most secretive man.

No wonder he was always aloof. Surrounded by women, he touched none.

They even doubted if he was gay and finally knew the real reason.

He was so enduring. For over a decade, he hadn’t reached her although he was just nearby. Every time Gong Siming mentioned her, he acted indifferently.

“Wan, I have some unfinished business to attend to.”

He didn’t dare to stay any longer. Since the first sight of Si Wan tonight, his long-dormant heart was about to become active again.

She was such a fair lady. Just like a descending fairy, she was pure, noble, and beautiful.

He just couldn’t look away from her. Every twinkle, smile, and move of her affected his psyche.

But he could do nothing except watch her from the distance just like what he did in his childhood.

Even though he knew she was having a hard time, he couldn’t come to the rescue and didn’t even have to courage to meet her.

He still remembered what Gong Siming had told him. The more frequent he met her, the more pain he would cause her. Her heart had already been filled with Gong Siming the whole time. How could he make it difficult for everyone for his own good?

Passing by Si Wan, Zhang Qilin walked outside without turning around.

“Brother Lin, do you still hate me?”

Hearing the wail of the girl behind him, Zhang Qilin couldn’t restrain the tears in his eyes. Even so, he made no reply..

The Mystery Bar.

Without saying a word, the man drank one shot after another.

Fu Gongyan grabbed the goblet from Zhang Qilin and stared at him earnestly.

He was curious about what happened among Gong Siming, Si Wan and him.

But after considering, he expressed his deepest concern.

“Junior Master Lin, we are brothers. How can you covet your brother’s wife?”

Zhang Qilin took a glance at Fu Gongyan, grabbed the bottle and swigged directly from it.

“Are you out of your mind? Is a woman worth it?”

With a bitter smile, he choked with sobs.

“Rest assured, I won’t see her again.”

He had made every due consideration, and every decision he made was out of his brotherhood with Gong Siming as well as the protection of Si Wan.

At the sight of the painful Zhang Qilin, Fu Gongyan wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, as if he was struggling.

In the end, he couldn’t help but put a picture on his phone before Zhang Qilin’s eyes.

There was no doubt that Fu Gongyan was very good at taking pictures. In the photo, Feng Qi was holding Si Wan in his arms.

Si Wan’s actions were rapid. Her positions were changed in a mere second.

At the sight of the photo, Zhang Qilin suddenly turned grim, immediately deleted it and spoke to Fu Gongyan with a stern face.

“We shouldn’t let Ming see the photo.”

“I’m afraid that ship has sailed. I sent it to him as soon as it was taken.”

Zhang Qilin abruptly rose to his feet and sobered up instantly.

It was acceptable for him to fool around for fun. But should he secretly do such a serious thing?

He instantly turned sullen.

“Sorry, but I didn’t know you…”

Zhang Qilin interrupted Fu Gongyan with a serious gaze.

“Ming knows it clearly that Si Wan and I are innocent.”

Everyone knew about Gong Siming’s temper. If it was his own men, he wouldn’t make it too hard, but it was the others, so he wouldn’t let it slide easily.

“Junior Master Fu, you are in big trouble!”

Standing aside, Zhuo Er also put on a gloomy look. These men all knew Gong Siming well, but Zhang Qilin was the one who knew him the best.
