The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 131 Peerless Black Lotus

At this moment, Hao Anqi, the big light bulb standing next to them, had a sour face. He looked left and right and found Qingwu displeased. He thought she was very good at pretending. As soon as her older brother arrived, she changed her expression. One second Mimi was fighting with him fiercely, and the next second she was acting like a little girl.

Especially when Qingming came over, his eyes were fixed on her, completely ignoring himself and the group of people on the ground. His tone was full of doting affection, and he had already guessed that the other person was his elder brother's beloved—Qingwu!

But he, standing to the side, couldn't stand the pink-bubble atmosphere between the two and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "Big brother!"

Qingming seemed to realize that he had forgotten about his good brother, but he showed no embarrassment. Instead, he said gently and politely, "Brother Qi, this is my junior sister, whom you mentioned—Qingwu."

Then he turned to Qingwu and introduced Hao Anqi, "This is the good brother I mentioned to you in Feixin, the eldest son of the Hao family—Hao Anqi."

Qingming subtly changed the awkward atmosphere. Although the two exchanged polite greetings out of respect for Qingming, sparks flew when their eyes met. They both saw disdain and disgust in each other's eyes, and neither was willing to give in.

Seeing the two of them, Qingming was speechless for a moment, but he could only shake his head slightly in helplessness. Then he immediately changed the subject and asked Qingwu about the situation.

Qingwu briefly explained the situation. Of course, he couldn't say that he already knew they were not only robbing others but also robbing him, so he deliberately set them up and launched a counterattack.

After learning the whole story, Hao Anqi looked at the seemingly frail woman lying on the ground and inwardly cursed himself. He hadn't known the situation and had rushed in without knowing anything about her. Moreover, he didn't understand her at all. How could she be such a good actress? He had clearly used his beauty and other people's sympathy to lure her away, and now he was turning around and blaming her. It was truly despicable.

Knowing that he had acted too impulsively, the young Hao Anqi was also a man of flexibility and adaptability. Although he felt a little awkward, he still apologized to Qingwu with his ears turning red.

Qingwu didn't expect the other party to apologize to her. Looking at him, she turned on her true nature as a black lotus, showing disdain on the surface and jokingly saying, "Who wants an apology from an idiot like you? Your ears are all red! Am I making things difficult for you?" But in her heart, she thought the other party was a good person, magnanimous and decisive, and apologized immediately when he was wrong.

Qingming felt a headache coming on. His junior sister was good in every way, except that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She seemed indifferent on the surface, but she actually cared a lot in her heart. He just felt that she was a rather awkward person.

He knew his junior sister was like this, but others didn't. Fortunately, he had a mouth and knew he had to explain.

Hao Anqi found the other person's awkwardness a bit strange, but out of respect for his elder brother, he tried his best to understand and didn't hold it against him.

It wasn't until later, through continuous interaction, that he gradually came to understand that the other person was a black lotus flower—tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She seemed unreliable, but she was the most dependable person when it came to getting things done. In the event of danger, he could even entrust his back to her.

Later, he gradually discovered that she was cunning and scheming, loved to play tricks, was a bit shameless, liked to play dumb to fool others, and most importantly, was a little greedy for money, but he was still slowly attracted to her.

At first, I felt that she was not good enough for Qingming, but later I realized that they were the perfect match. They had great chemistry and understood each other's thoughts with every glance and gesture. They were both incredibly tolerant of each other and made plans for their future. They could truly be called a match made in heaven.

This development was clearly very good, it could be called perfect, but while Hao Anqi was happy for his older brother, he was also a little disappointed. At that time, he didn't quite understand why he was disappointed. He just felt that he envied Qingming for having such a smooth life, extremely strong talent, formidable strength, a good partner by his side, and meeting the person he loved most at the most beautiful age.

Every shining point he has is something he hopes for, but when all those shining points are concentrated in one person, and that person is someone he looks up to, he feels lost.

It wasn't until later that he realized his disappointment wasn't just that, but that he had already quietly fallen in love with Qingwu, his future sister-in-law.

Perhaps it was from their first meeting that the quirky and beautiful girl who dared to glare at him entered his heart.

But he was very clear about his bottom line. The other party was his best friend's lover and his future sister-in-law. No matter how much he liked her, he would not interfere in someone else's marriage.

On the contrary, he would even be willing to offer the most sincere blessings in the world, hoping only that the people he loves can be happy and his best friends can be joyful.

So he suppressed his feelings all along, willing to be the most sincere guardian of their love, which was the best ending for them.

Hao Anqi spent his whole life thinking about how fate is always mysterious, but the order of appearance is crucial. Clearly, he had appeared too late. They were destined to be together but not to stay together. Even though Qingming was dead, there was still an insurmountable obstacle between him and Qingwu. This vast chasm was a distance they could never cross.

As the saying goes, one should not covet one's brother's wife. It is precisely because Hao Anqi is a responsible and courageous man that even though he has always loved Qingwu and has been silently protecting her, she will only be his sister-in-law and his brother's lover, and will never be his lover.
