The King of Special Warfare Chapter 308 - Life Is Too Hard

Chapter 308 Life Is Too Hard
Most of the people were looking at Wang Yuetong, and few people were still looking at Wang Shengxiao.
No one knew how powerful the Wang family of Beihai was.
This giant monster who had been passed down for hundreds of years was still standing at the peak of Zhongzhou State and the peak of the Dark World.
This family deserved the word “greatness”.
The Wang family of Beihai.
This title was something to be proud of—it represented dignity, respect, honor, high status, and mystery.
Wherever people from the Wang family of Beihai went, it seemed that they would always be the center of people’s attention.
This was still the case.
But the little princess who represented part of the honor of the Wang family of Beihai had lost her pride right now.
She seemed to really let go of everything.
Her dignity, decency, and status all drifted away with the wind and rain.
So her figure looked so slim and lowly.
Lowliness is also a kind of courage.
Her courage was touching.
Everyone watching this showed complicated expressions in their eyes.
Wang Shengxiao suddenly felt sad for her.
He felt a little embarrassed, but mostly sad for her.
The girl who looked so sad and lowly was his sister by blood.
Under countless stares, Wang Shengxiao put down the wine glass and took a step forward.
Jiang Shangyu, who sat next to Li Tianlan but was watching everything, brightened up his eyes.
.
“Have you thought it through?” Song Ci asked softly behind Wang Shengxiao.
She was also looking at Wang Yuetong, and her stare was shaking as Wang Yuetong moved.
“It’s wrong for him to treat my sister like this.”
Wang Shengxiao turned around and looked at Song Ci with a serious expression.
His seriousness could ignite a battle.
.
“Then how should he treat Yuetong?” Song Ci asked directly.
This question was very simple.
But Wang Shengxiao froze after hearing this.
Li Tianlan was aware of the situation.
So he cut off the past he shared with Wang Yuetong in an extremely cruel and even cold-blooded way because this was the best way.
.
And it matched the interests of the Wang family of Beihai.
Wang Shengxiao could understand why he did this. From his point of view, Li Tianlan’s honesty was more admirable than his indecisive nature. But watching everything, he somehow felt very upset.
“Asshole!” Wang Shengxiao gritted his teeth and said softly.
.
Song Ci laughed and took a deep look at Wang Yuetong, then walked over and held Wang Shengxiao’s hand.
No matter what Li Tianlan did, he was the asshole.
But nobody was to blame. They shouldn’t have met each other in that spring three years ago.
“Let’s go over there. People from Blizzard made an appointment with me, they want to be around you. Let’s leave Yuetong alone.”
…
Li Tianlan let Wang Yuetong hold his hands.
His hands were cold.
There was only coldness left, just like his hardened heart.
.
“Let’s talk,” Wang Yuetong said again. She looked neat and exquisite in a long dress with her short hair, and her watery eyes seemed to be begging.
Li Tianlan’s face looked cold.
He pulled his hand away, shook his head, and said, “I have other things to do.”
As Wang Yuetong bit her lip, her face was looking paler and paler.
She held Li Tianlan’s hand tightly with her head low. She didn’t say anything or let go of his hand. She just kept pulling Li Tianlan’s arm hard, as if she wanted to drag him somewhere else quietly.
Li Tianlan’s eyes looked dazed.
This kind of playful trick made Wang Yuetong seem even softer and more feminine.
This scene seemed familiar.
Li Tianlan didn’t move. He remained steady as a rock.
It was a silent contest.
His coldness was like a knife.
Her affection was cut into bloody pieces.
.
“I’ll go over there,” Dongcheng Rushi suddenly said, “I’ll go back by myself later.”
Li Tianlan took a look at her with narrowed eyes.
Dongcheng Rushi’s eyes were calm and cold with a bit of clear mockery in them.
It was Dongcheng Yueshen.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt sad, as he shook his head and said coldly, “As you wish.”
Dongcheng Yueshen nodded, then turned around and took a look at Wang Yuetong.
Wang Yuetong didn’t look at her, she just pulled Li Tianlan’s hand hard.
Her pretty little face was red, looking sad and bitter. But she was still hanging on with a courage that could make her bleed.
Courage is a force.
It deserves respect.
Dongcheng Yueshen sighed softly, then turned around and left.
Wang Yuetong let go of his hand quietly.
She looked at Jiang Shangyu.
.
“Go away,” Wang Yuetong suddenly said.
Jiang Shangyu was a bit surprised. He didn’t want to leave, he still had a lot of things to tell Li Tianlan, but…
Jiang Shangyu shrugged, stood up with a bitter smile on his face, and left the corner.
He walked a short distance, then turned back and looked.
In the dark and cold corner, Wang Yuetong was still standing there holding Li Tianlan’s hand.
As the wind on the deck slightly lifted up her long dress, the scene looked sad.
The corner of Jiang Shangyu’s mouth twitched.
His father, Jiang Shan, personally got close to the Wang family of Beihai in order for him to marry Wang Yuetong.
Jiang Shangyu was fine with that.
But unfortunately, even when the Wang family of Beihai agreed with this, Wang Yuetong was still holding onto him.
Jiang Shangyu had been courting her for over a year.
In his eyes, Wang Yuetong seemed to always be distant, reserved, and polite, but cold enough to push anyone away—beautiful and elegant.
But right now…
The woman he wanted to marry now stood in front of Li Tianlan miserably. She let go of everything just to talk to him.
Jiang Shangyu wasn’t in love with Wang Yuetong.
But somehow, he felt uncomfortable.
He put on a sincere smile and kept asking himself a question.
“For what?”
…
.
“If you want to say something, say it here,” Li Tianlan looked at Wang Yuetong and said, but she was still stubborn and silent.
Wang Yuetong’s body froze and she slowly let go of him.
“You…”
Wang Yuetong hesitated, then said softly, “Senior Brother, don’t you want me anymore?”
Li Tianlan looked at Wang Yuetong quietly.
His tone was calm and emotionless. “You’re too much for me.”
He looked at his hand that Wang Yuetong was holding, then sighed gently and said blandly, “Please let me go, what’s the point of this?”
Wang Yuetong didn’t cry, she just held Li Tianlan’s hand tightly and kept shaking her head. “Why?”
“Why?”
Li Tianlan had many reasons to explain.
Maybe it was like what Jiang Shangyu said, that he could totally explain this kind of thing.
But what was the point?
Explanations and decisions are completely different.
Li Tianlan’s face twisted for a second.
At this moment, he thought about all the memories he shared with Wang Yuetong.
Those memories he thought he had forgotten, he remembered them so vividly.
But, what was the point?
As he kept trying to pull his hand away, his tone sounded completely cold. “You want to know why? I don’t like you, simple as that. Yuetong, remember who you are, you’re the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai, you have such a noble status. The way you’re acting right now only makes me think lowly of you, it doesn’t change anything.”
Wang Yuetong’s body suddenly shook violently.
At this moment, her face turned completely pale and her eyes dimmed down.
She looked at Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan tried to dodge her stare, but he still looked her into the eyes with a hardened heart.
“Do you think lowly of me?”
Wang Yuetong’s voice sounded shaky.
“Yes!” Li Tianlan said as firmly as he could.
.
.
Wang Yuetong looked at Li Tianlan with empty eyes and mumbled, “Why are you being so cruel?”
“Because you’re low and cheap!”
Li Tianlan tried his best to keep his voice stable. “Just go. I don’t think we should see each other anymore.”
.
If they parted ways like this, they could only be enemies of each other when they saw each other again.
Enemies of life and death.
A knife seemed to be sticking into Li Tianlan’s heart.
The sharp knife cut deeper and deeper in his heart, it cut his feelings into pieces, it felt painful but satisfactory.
Enemies!
That was what Wang Yuetong and he were supposed to be.
Hatred could bury all the sadness.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt like laughing.
As he kept his mouth shut tightly and watched the river that was being swallowed by the heavy rain under the night sky, his eyes looked mad.
Wang Yuetong finally let go of him.
At that moment, Li Tianlan held his fists so tightly that his palms were bleeding.
.
“Is this what you want?” Wang Yuetong asked calmly, and she no longer cried or shivered. It seemed that in a very short period of time, she had put away all her soft spots.
.
“Yes,” Li Tianlan said blandly.
“I waited for you for three years.”
Wang Yuetong laughed in a self-mocking way. “My father always wants me to marry someone else.
“He introduced a lot of people to me—young people from the Wang family of Beihai, and some from outside of Beihai Province.”
She looked at Li Tianlan with such intense emotion in her eyes.
Her love was almost obsessive, like completely chaotic hatred. With that kind of emotion flashing in her eyes, the difference between love and hate became blurry.
.
“Do you know what I said when my father set me up with a boy for the first time?” Wang Yuetong asked as she looked at Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan just stared at the Huangpu River under the night sky without saying anything.
“Well, I have sucked your d*ck. So I can’t say I love you or I do to any other man, I’m not that kind of woman.”
Wang Yuetong spoke softly. She laughed, looking beautiful and dazed. “Back then, I always thought you belonged to me, so I tried to hold onto you, and no matter what happened, I thought you would do the same.”
Her voice slowly became low, and the love in her eyes gradually turned deep, then became hatred.
“But I didn’t expect such an ending after three years of persistence. Li Tianlan, why are you so cruel? Don’t you think this is a bit unfair?”
.
“At least you have your ending.” Li Tianlan’s voice sounded cold.
.
“But it’s not the ending I want!” Wang Yuetong said coldly, “This is what you want!”
Li Tianlan laughed in a self-mocking way, but didn’t say anything.
This wasn’t the ending they wanted.
But this was the best ending.
Li Tianlan had to carry the past of the Li family io his back. He couldn’t give Wang Yuetong the future she wanted when he couldn’t put down the responsibility of the Li family.
Wang Yuetong was the little princess from the Wang family of Beihai.
She ate the best food and wore the best clothes since she was a kid, and got all the love from her family. She didn’t have responsibility or pressure. She was high above, with noble status. She already had too much, which gave her the right to picture her life in the future.
Her life was too sweet and perfect.
But life was supposed to be hard.
Li Tianlan’s life was harder.
His future was full blood and corpses, schemes and betrayal, battles and compromises, glory and death, hatred and grievances.
On the opposite side of his future, the Wang family of Beihai might have been the most important character.
The future had been decided.
Why bother trying to change anything now?
Li Tianlan couldn’t tell Wang Yuetong that this was for her own good.
He was too ashamed to say it, but he just believed that tonight’s ending was the best one.
That was because if they had to be enemies of each other in the future, there wouldn’t be too much pain or trammels.
He stood up.
Wang Yuetong reached out her hand subconsciously and grabbed him again.
.
“Walk with me for a while,” Wang Yuetong said suddenly, her voice completely calmed down. “No matter what will happen in the future, at least tonight, I want to give myself closure.”
She paused.
She could hear her heart break clearly.
“After tonight, we’ll be enemies.”
After a moment of silence, Li Tianlan said in a raspy voice, “Fine.”
“I want to get out of here.”
Wang Yuetong pointed at the riverside.
Li Tianlan said yes, then held Wang Yuetong and flew up to the sky.
The banquet tonight meant nothing to him.
It was the same for Wang Yuetong.
Everyone saw the two of them fly up into the sky without saying anything.
Jiang Shangyu’s eyes flashed for a second, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
Meanwhile, in the other corner—
Dongcheng Yueshen stood quietly by herself and looked in the direction where Li Tianlan left with a complicated expression in her eyes.
She could feel everything tonight.
She could feel Li Tianlan’s coldness toward Wang Yuetong.
It was because it was impossible for the Li family and the Wang family of Beihai to be friends again.
Dongcheng Yueshen suddenly remembered something.
It was Li Tianlan’s comment about the Dongcheng Clan.
“You deserve a happy ending.”
Dongcheng Yueshen looked at the night sky with drifting eyes, and her mind was completely lost.
…
The heavy rain at the riverside disappeared.
Li Tianlan’s figure landed.
As the rain disappeared quietly, the place became a pure land.
He let go of Wang Yuetong in his arms.
Wang Yuetong held onto his arm very tightly.
Li Tianlan walked forward quietly. They stayed close to each other, like a couple passionately in love.
But they had to part ways at the end of the road.
.
“I know that you don’t want to force the troubled issues between you and my family on me,” Wang Yuetong said softly.
“That’s part of the reason.”
Li Tianlan said slowly, “But I also don’t want to live in the crack between you and the Wang family of Beihai. If it’s that hard for us to be together, then why bother?”
This was the problem they had to face.
At least right now, neither Li Tianlan or Wang Yuetong were capable of solving the problem.
“I can face this.”
Wang Yuetong said blandly, “But you can’t.”
Her tone was mocking, but she held Li Tianlan’s arm more and more tightly. “What a twist, the man I love is such a coward!”
Li Tianlan fell silent for a while, then said in a self-mocking way, “You indeed have bad taste.”
Wang Yuetong suddenly stopped.
She dragged Li Tianlan and forced him to stand in front of her.
.
“You really don’t want me?” she asked gently.
Li Tianlan looked at her quietly and said blandly, “Our relationship has ended.”
“Why did it end? Why are you doing this to me? Asshole! I don’t want it to end, how can you end it on your own? I disagree! I disagree!”
Wang Yuetong was riled up. She punched Li Tianlan’s body like crazy while crying, then she jumped on him and bit his shoulder.
Li Tianlan didn’t move or fight back, he just held her in silence and let her release her feelings.
After tonight, all the feelings would fade away.
Hatred would be the only thing left.
Wang Yuetong calmed down after crying for a long time.
“Starting tomorrow, we are enemies.”
She held Li Tianlan and said softly, “If you can’t kill me, sooner or later, I’ll kill you myself.
“Li Tianlan, I hate you.”
Li Tianlan patted her back gently. “Fine.”
“Kiss me again.”
Wang Yuetong lifted up her head in Li Tianlan’s arms, then closed her eyes and said softly, “From now on, we’re quits.”
Li Tianlan looked at her quietly.
Wang Yuetong was so close to him, yet so far away.
He lowered his head suddenly and kissed her.
Wang Yuetong wrapped her arms around Li Tianlan’s neck tightly. Her movement was serious, stiff, and yet wild.
Her soft fragrance smelled like desperation and coldness.
The storm near the horizon was getting smaller.
It lasted for a long time.
They separated in silence.
Wang Yuetong’s body was shivering slightly, and her face was burning red.
She looked at Li Tianlan, the man she truly fell in love with.
.
Give up on him?
It wasn’t easy.
She still wanted to try one more time, one last time, even if she would receive a bigger humiliation.
So she pressed her body on Li Tianlan’s and said the most shameless thing in her life.
Her voice was low and soft, like a storm that was slowly stopping, fresh and hazy.
“I’m very wet now.”
At that moment, Li Tianlan’s repressed feelings burst out.
He yelled violently and picked Wang Yuetong up.
Li Tianlan walked to a car.
He ripped the locked car door open in a frenzy way and got in the car.
A leather shoe was thrown out from the car.
A scream escaped the car through the broken door.
Wang Yuetong held Li Tianlan gently.
She was crying.
But she was also smiling, like a blooming flower, looking extremely beautiful.
At this moment, she finally made sure of her destination.
She had the man who owned her.
It was painful.
But happy.
