Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend

Chapter 769: Red Handwoven Cord

Qiu Qianghai’s voice rang crisply: "Got it, I’ll come see you tonight."

With that, he took the phone from his ear and abruptly ended the call.

Qiu Qianghai turned around, exuding a cold aura that made people want to retreat three feet.

Gu Jiajie, sitting at the table, looked at him with a slight frown: "Is it those people you hired?"

Qiu Qianghai lowered his eyes, glancing softly at the red woven bracelet on his wrist. A subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips, a flash of self-mockery crossed his face.

He didn’t speak but nodded to Gu Jiajie.

"It’s been a year, Brother Hai, stop tormenting yourself."

Gu Jiajie’s face revealed a hint of pity, alongside sympathy and compassion for this man.

Since Minmin left, those who knew he was fond of Minmin sent him a few girls who looked somewhat like her.

Qiu Qianghai actually kept one or two of them.

When he first heard about this, Gu Jiajie felt angry, as if Minmin had been insulted.

Seeing the profound sadness, guilt, deep love, and self-inflicted torment in Qiu Qianghai’s eyes when faced with girls resembling Minmin, he began to feel sympathy for the man.

Especially after learning that he hadn’t touched those girls, just offered them money and convenience.

His attitude towards girls who had ambitions was more resolute, directly sending them away.

Qiu Qianghai sat beside Gu Jiajie, caressing the red woven bracelet on his wrist, his eyes filled with deep longing.

This was in Wanhai City, a handcrafted gift from the girl, made in class.

"I’m afraid of forgetting her. They have aspects similar to her, and looking at them brings me some comfort."

"Bullshit!"

Gu Jiajie burst out with a curse.

"If seeing them brings you comfort, why then torture yourself until you’re in agony every time you meet those women? Last time, after seeing a woman who... resembled Min... you locked yourself at home, drank yourself into a stupor, ended up with a bleeding stomach, almost lost your life!

Brother Hai, stop torturing yourself. Minmin isn’t coming back!"

Gu Jiajie didn’t want to mention Minmin; every mention felt like a knife twisting in his heart.

The once suave and elegant demeanor of Qiu Qianghai had vanished entirely, leaving only a heavy gloom.

Anyone could see that this man was heartbroken, like a lone wolf who had lost its mate.

And indeed, he lost the love of his life.

Upon hearing the name Minmin, it felt like a knife to Qiu Qianghai’s heart, his heart sinking further.

He had harmed Minmin.

He destroyed that girl.

He would spend a lifetime atoning for it.

If not for Le Jiani, if not for him, Minmin would still be a carefree girl growing happily in school.

He shouldn’t have forcefully entered her life and ruined it.

Despite Gu Jiajie’s advice, he heard none of it.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Qiu Qianghai moved his hand away from the red woven bracelet on his wrist, lifted his eyes, lips curving slightly: "How’s the company these days, are you adapting well?

Gu Jin was complaining to me earlier, saying we were too lazy, dumping a pile of trivial matters on her, wanted us to treat her to dinner today, says she’s going to bleed us dry."

An obvious and awkward attempt to change the subject.

Gu Jiajie appeared helpless, feeling uneasy inside as well.

He followed suit: "With her tiny appetite, like eating cat food, how much can she bleed us?"

Qiu Qianghai laughed: "True, but this time we’ve been away for quite a while, surely she’s quite peeved."

Gu Jiajie fell silent, agreeing with that thought.
