Chapter 1070 If you're so capable, why don't you try pretending too?
Bo Qing reached out and touched his hair, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and looked like he was happily showing off his love.
"Tch, your wife's cooking skills are nothing special," Huo Yanchen mocked.
"You're just being sour grapes. I love how he cut my hair."
"If you're going to show off your love, you can get lost!" Huo Yanchen didn't want to hear it at all.
Bo Qing is nothing special. I wonder if he saved the galaxy in his past life, how come he has such good fortune in this life?
With such a wonderful wife and such an adorable son, Bo Qing seems to have all the good things in life.
Bo Qing leaned back lazily, his long, slender fingers holding the wine glass, and said, "Didn't you call me here and ask me to drink with you? If it weren't for you, I'd be sleeping soundly with my sweet, soft wife right now! And now you want me to leave? Do you really think I'm someone you can just come and go as you please?"
"Tch, what a show-off!" Huo Yanchen cursed.
You really can't outdo Bo Qing in pretending.
Moreover, the kind of subtle, understated boasting is what makes people most want to punch someone.
Five years ago, Huo Yanchen wanted to beat Bo Qing every time he saw him, and he still does now.
Bo Qing wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said, "If you're so capable, why don't you try pretending too?"
Huo Yanchen: "..."
Huo Yanchen raised his wine glass, clinked it with Bo Qing's, and then downed his glass.
"How are things going with what happened in Luocheng?" Huo Yanchen had heard about it, but didn't know the specific details.
Bo Qing said, "That's fine. As long as they don't bother Shen Yuan, everything is fine. It's just that Xiao Si is still up to no good. Why are you people always thinking about my wife? Xiao Si is already married, yet he still causes so much trouble."
"Stop it, I'm not eyeing your wife," Huo Yanchen corrected.
Although he had some feelings for Shen Yuan before, Huo Yanchen had already let go of them long ago.
His current relationship with Shen Yuan is that of friends.
If Shen Yuan needs his help in anything, Huo Yanchen will definitely help without hesitation.
He doesn't have many friends. Bo Qing doesn't count; Bo Qing is his mortal enemy who opposes him every day. He doesn't know how Shen Yuan could have fallen for Bo Qing; she really has bad taste.
"That would be best, but you are indeed getting on in years. If a young girl is blind enough to take a liking to you, you can consider it. Don't reject her so directly right away, or you might regret it later."
Huo Yanchen looked at Bo Qing: "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything, I was just saying it casually." Bo Qing wasn't interested in other people's private affairs, but he guessed that Huo Yanchen's invitation to go out for drinks was probably related to his love life.
Moreover, looking at Huo Yanchen's worried face, he seemed completely troubled by love, which was probably related to those matters.
Bo Qing knew all too well what it felt like to like someone.
"Although I can't give any good advice, I can only say that if you like it, go for it, otherwise you will regret missing such an opportunity. For some people, missing it means missing it for a lifetime. Not everyone will wait for you forever."
Huo Yanchen thought about Bo Qing's words and felt that Bo Qing was wrong.
"But what if it's two people who are fundamentally incompatible..."
Bo Qing asked directly, "So back then, did you think that Shen Yuan and I were a possibility from the very beginning?"
Huo Yanchen thought about it and realized that it really wasn't true.
Back then, Bo Qing was a Buddhist disciple, high above, looking down on the world as if he were detached from it all.
In fact, Shen Yuan is Bo Qing's nephew's fiancée. Who would have thought that Bo Qing would fall in love with someone after returning to Luocheng, and even take a fancy to his own nephew's wife?
"So don't judge things by what you think, especially in matters of the heart. Nothing is something you can decide just because you think it is, because you can't control your own heart. What you want and what you desire will torment you every day, especially when you see her with someone else, it will be unbearable. Don't ask me how I know."
Bo Qing had experienced all of this, especially during the five years he was away. Before he regained his memory, he had already fallen for Shen Yuan again. After he regained his memory, seeing that Shen Yuan was going to marry Huo Yanchen, he was so heartbroken that even breathing became torture.
Although Huo Yanchen didn't say anything, Bo Qing pretty much knew what was going on with Huo Yanchen.
He only offered a few simple suggestions, but how Huo Yanchen thought and made his choices was beyond his control.
Huo Yanchen frowned as he looked at the wine bottle in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
He was decisive in everything he did, and he was no exception in this matter, but he was very hesitant and conflicted.
Will I regret it?
Probably not.
If I agree to let her stay by my side, I'll be clipping her wings. Once she grows up and sees the world's wonders, she'll still leave.
By the time she was not yet thirty, he was already forty, and he was twelve years older than her!
She'll definitely complain about his age then, and she might meet a lot of younger men, leaving him with no advantage whatsoever.
Huo Yanchen didn't think he had any charm that could attract Jiang Manman. He felt that he was a very dark person, his world had no light, he had nothing, and everyone was afraid of him and dared not get close to him. He worried that Jiang Manman would become like that in the future.
Huo Yanchen rubbed his temples, having drunk quite a bit of alcohol. In the end, Bo Qing had to take him home.
It was incredibly heavy. Luckily, he was a grown man; a young girl would never have been able to carry it.
After sending Huo Yanchen back, Bo Qing went home.
Although he didn't drink much, he still reeked of alcohol.
Before he could even wash up, Bo Qing went back to his room.
Shen Yuan was still awake, waiting for Bo Qing. When she saw Bo Qing walk in, she put down the goddess statue in her hand and said, "You're back?"
The goddess statue was still shining brightly, as if it were radiating a faint glow from within. The goddess was still smiling as she looked down on the world, as if she contained the universe, mysterious and majestic.
This was the last thing her mother left her, telling her to keep it safe. Shen Yuan has kept it carefully ever since, and every time she sees this goddess statue, it's like seeing her mother.
Seeing Bo Qing return, Shen Yuan put down her arms. However, Bo Qing walked over and hugged Shen Yuan tightly, saying, "Wife, I missed you so much."
Shen Yuan didn't know what was wrong with her. She had only just left home, so why was she thinking about her again?
