War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 247 Heart Connecting Bridge

The convenience store owner cheered up Tang Mubei, who nodded slightly, still lost in his own thoughts.

The convenience store owner saw that he was seriously contemplating something and said no more, quietly leaving.

Tang Mubei stood downstairs for a long time again, looking up at the room on the floor where Qiu Ye was, his expression calm.

Ye Zi, I will find a way to ease our relationship, just wait for me.

Tang Mubei secretly made up his mind, then got in the car, started the engine, and drove away.

Qiu Ye watched from the corner of the curtain as Tang Mubei’s car left the neighborhood, going further and further away, not moving for a long time.

You are not the only one struggling in pain; someone else is also silently enduring the agony.

After all, he still found out. She thought she could hide it forever.

Perhaps, deep down, she hoped that as long as he didn’t know, he wouldn’t be disheartened, and would always linger around her. Even if they couldn’t be together, dragging it out like this, she was actually willing.

She’d rather waver between pain and satisfaction than never see him again.

Just like these six years when he was abroad; she missed him a lot but had no place to express it.

Mu Bei, you and I, in the end, have a deep love but a shallow fate.

The road ahead is uncertain, and Qiu Ye doesn’t know how she will move forward next.

Bar.

The music roared enthusiastically, people of all kinds wildly twisting in the dance floor. At a corner table, Tang Mubei drank one glass after another, while Xue Jiarui and others watched.

Lu Yiyun crossed her arms and clicked her tongue, sighing, "A brokenhearted man, truly pitiful."

Tang Yuxiu initially detested such places. The air was bad, people were many, and anyone could bump into him at any time. He was particularly angry but had no choice but to endure it this time to accompany his heartbroken brother.

But that was fine until Lu Yiyun took advantage of Tang Mubei’s state to mock him as well.

A brokenhearted man...

He too was brokenhearted, wasn’t he!

Why didn’t he feel sorry for himself?

Xiang Linghao also didn’t want to participate in this topic. He was considered half a brokenhearted man, as he and Xue Xianglan still hadn’t had a result.

As for Xue Jiarui and You Shuyang, as singles, they had no right to engage in this topic.

Tang Mubei drank, feeling extremely depressed, but said nothing, and neither did anyone else.

Lu Yiyun felt coming out with them was a mistake; it was already boring, but now the situation seemed even duller!

"Friends, can you say something? In such a lively bar, just here is so dead."

"You can go play by yourself." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"All acting as if pondering over life, that’s enough, too."

Everyone, "..."

"Second Brother Tang, if you like her, regardless of any reason, just go for it."

Tang Mubei downed a glass of wine, striking it on the table, "It’s not that simple."

"What on earth happened? I remember the last time she caught you sending me home, she was quite calm, doesn’t she like you at all?"

Tang Mubei, everyone, "..."

Good girl, don’t be so straightforward, it’s very hurtful.

Tang Mubei’s heart was wounded even more.

Tang Mubei simply put down the glass and stood up, "Not drinking anymore."

Then, he left.

The rest, "..." Clearly, he was the one who asked them out for drinks to relieve his depression.

They came and just sat there, drank, did nothing else, and now he was the first to leave, so simple...

"I suddenly feel like punching him," Xue Jiarui said through gritted teeth, everyone nodded, expressing their thoughts, they wanted to too.

After Tang Mubei left, Tang Yuxiu didn’t stay a second longer, immediately stood up and left, all the way with a very disdainful look.

The remaining four looked on, sighing, "Indeed, they are two brothers."

The four drank a round of wine, "Nothing else, let’s break up and each go home and sleep."

The night wind, easing the day’s heat, with a bit of chill, made Tang Mubei’s mind extraordinarily clear.

He stood at the door for quite a while until Tang Yuxiu came out, and the two brothers abandoned the car to walk.

Like when they were young, the two brothers messed around together.

Who would have thought that years later, the two would walk together again due to both being heartbroken.

Alas, could only sigh.

"Brother, when do you plan to see Gu Yan?"

"Tomorrow."

"Hmm, since your matter is settled, hurry and find her, it’s not good to delay."

Don’t be like him and Qiu Ye, separated for six years, missing six years of life together. Even now, he doesn’t dare to confidently say that Qiu Ye still loves him.

"And you, if you can’t let go, put in some effort to make up for the hurt she’s suffered."

"Okay."

Although the two brothers usually enjoy watching each other’s misfortunes and take pleasure in the other’s small troubles, if they really see the other unhappy, they don’t feel good about it themselves.

Now the brothers share the same plight.

...

In a remote small town, Gu Yan walked with a backpack on her back along the clean streets.

The town wasn’t like the city, crowded with people everywhere, always abuzz.

There were only a few passersby around her, she walked alone with her backpack, occasionally attracting some curious glances, but not too much.

Here, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, with several stunning sceneries, perfect for those who enjoy quiet travel, presumably, she was here for that reason.

Gu Yan had traveled to many places and indeed liked this place the most.

This place was called Mei River, rumored to have been fenced off by the government as a natural scenic area last year. It was September now, most people had gone out for work or study. The town wasn’t crowded, nor were there many tourists, just as Gu Yan liked it.

She had been here for two days already, roughly understanding the environment and customs, now it was time to visit various scenic spots.

Originally, she wouldn’t stay more than three days in one place, but she really liked it here. She thought to herself, even if Tang Yuxiu had immense capabilities, after she had changed so many places, it would take him a while to find this one.

Perhaps, if he was with Nie Rong, he wouldn’t bother looking for her anymore.

Thinking this way, although she felt low, she knew it was her own choice, she knew there would be this result, she had to endure it.

So, she told herself not to overthink, to stay here with peace of mind, and enjoy more of the scenery.

Gu Yan walked along the path, with mountains on both sides, standing straight up, lush green and vibrant, growing vigorously on the steep cliffs, standing firm against the wind.

Gu Yan took out a newly purchased camera to take photos. Seeing such scenery inexplicably lifted her spirits.

Following this path, there was a large lake, rippling waves, with peaks standing on both sides, looking beautiful. There were some boats by the lake for tourists to cross the lake to the other side.

Gu Yan stood on the dam. The breeze by the lake blew by, cool and refreshing, making her feel comfortable physically and mentally.

She took several photos with her camera, then found a boatman to take her across the lake.

The lake was large, and after rounding a peak, Gu Yan was surprised to find the other side even larger, with a small island in the center of the lake.

"Boatman, does anyone live on that island?"

The boatman replied, "No. The trees on the island are too dense, and it’s in the water. Our locals feel it’s not safe there, but it’s nice to look at from a distance. Plus, there are wild boars and other ferocious animals; it’s best not to go there."

Gu Yan nodded, indicating she understood.

She really hadn’t expected such beautiful scenery in this inconspicuous small town.

She randomly got on a car that brought her here, and it seemed she made the right decision.

Otherwise, missing out would have been a regret.

Circumnavigating the island and moving forward, Gu Yan occasionally took a photo, and as they neared the shore, she noticed an iron chain bridge overhead.

The boatman, noticing her gaze, couldn’t help but say, "Miss, are you from out of town? Didn’t you check our local tourism manual before visiting?"

Gu Yan, a bit embarrassed, chuckled, "I came here spontaneously; I didn’t know such a good place existed, so I didn’t know about the tourism manual."

"We are relatively remote here, not many people know about this place except locals and people from nearby towns. Very few from far away come here intentionally."

"It’s quite a pity," Gu Yan sighed. Such a good place, with clean air and beautiful scenery, is perfect for group travel and self-cultivation.

"There are pros and cons to such things. More people can bring economic development, but they can also affect the environment. If the environment here is damaged, it wouldn’t be this good, nor would it attract people’s liking."

Gu Yan nodded, "That makes sense."

The boatman said, "Miss, you noticed the iron chain bridge above; it’s called the Heart Connecting Bridge. Couples here love to visit it."

"Heart Connecting Bridge?"

"Yes, we have a legend here. As long as lovers walk from both ends of the bridge towards each other, if they each meet at exactly ninety-nine steps, they will receive heaven’s blessings, becoming perfectly attuned and lasting long."

Gu Yan gazed at the bridge overhead, standing alone over the lake, with the strong wind passing by, causing slight clinking sounds from the iron chains on both sides.

"It’s a beautiful legend."

"Yes, the Heart Connecting Bridge has another legend, the one before was for couples, and this is for those who haven’t found a partner yet."

"What is it?" Gu Yan asked.

"Miss, if you want to find your ideal partner, you can also walk the bridge, count ninety-nine steps to the center, and make a sincere wish. Perhaps heaven will grant your wish."

"Is that so?"

"Miss, you can give it a try, treat it as sightseeing."

The boatman said as he slowly docked the boat by the shore.

Gu Yan got off the boat and climbed ashore.

The boatman said, "Miss, go ahead and have fun, enjoy the scenery; it’s good for you. I’ll wait here for you."

Gu Yan thanked him and walked towards the Heart Connecting Bridge following the boatman’s guidance.
