Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 754 - Leaving Is Also A Kind of Protection

Chapter 754: Leaving Is Also A Kind of Protection

Hearing this, Bruce was stunned.

It was normal for him to be surprised. Originally, this was a rare opportunity. It could be said that Zhuang Long had risked his life to get this opportunity. Zhuang Long could totally be a despicable man and make some unreasonable requests to Bruce, such as asking him to leave Xiao Li.

However, Zhuang Long made the most unexpected and impressive request.

In Bruce’s heart, the image of Zhuang Long had always been very vague. Everything he knew about Zhuang Long came from Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin’s stories, as well as the reports found on the Internet. He knew that Zhuang Long was a very powerful virology expert. The antidote he developed cured many patients who were sentenced to death.

Bruce respected Zhuang Long.

After all, he was a man who had appeared in textbooks. Like Newton, Hawking and the rest, he was someone to be admired. Before seeing Zhuang Long, Bruce’s impression of Zhuang Long had always been that he was a handsome and willful research madman with low EQ.

After having a meal with Zhuang Long tonight, he realized that Zhuang Long had deliberately said some provocative words. Bruce’s impression of him had a few new labels: childish and rash.

During the car race, Zhuang Long’s actions gave Bruce a new impression. He was a lunatic, a complete lunatic!

Just as Bruce was about to lose the respect he had for this person and was about to disdain him, this person quickly slapped him in the face.

I want you to make her happy.

Bruce was surprised to hear this from Zhuang Long, a man who valued his pride more than the sky.

This was a madman, a loving madman.

Due to Zhuang Long’s request, Bruce finally faced his ‘love rival’.

Zhuang Long looked down at the bottom of the cliff. His eyes blended into the night and were deep and dark. The smile on his face was no longer in front of Xiao Li. Bruce was especially puzzled. Could the difference between a person and him really be so big?

However, Zhuang Long finally looked a little more like a man.

Bruce smiled and asked Zhuang Long, “Are you sure you won’t change your request? Mr. Zhuang, you can make more rude requests, such as…”

Before Bruce could finish speaking, Zhuang Long suddenly tilted his head to look at him and interrupted him rudely. Then, he finished Bruce’s sentence. “For example, asking you to leave Xiao Li’s side and never see her again?”

Bruce was stunned for a moment. He seemed to hear a hint of self-deprecation in Zhuang Long’s tone.

Zhuang Long was indeed mocking Bruce. Zhuang Long said sternly, “If I make such a request, it would be an insult to Xiao Li. She must have chosen to marry you because she loves you, just like when she married me back then. If I make such a request, wouldn’t I be insulting Xiao Li’s love? Wouldn’t I be denying her feelings for me?”

The Xiao Li that Zhuang Long knew was a woman who valued love very much. Once she fell in love with someone, she would risk her life and throw herself at him. Even though Zhuang Long was unwilling to admit it, he understood that Xiao Li was willing to marry Bruce because she had deep feelings for him.

Bruce only frowned and did not answer.

A moment later, Bruce’s voice sounded from the mountaintop.

“Do you love her?” Bruce asked Zhuang Long.

Without any hesitation, Zhuang Long replied softly, “Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Bruce asked again, “Since you love her, why didn’t you love her properly before the divorce?”

Zhuang Long could not answer this question and had nothing to say.

“If you love her, why did you agree to the divorce?” Bruce asked repeatedly, looking aggressive. He did not hear any response and tilted his head to look at Zhuang Long. He saw that Zhuang Long was only looking coldly into the darkness in front of him, thinking about something.

Bruce thought he would not answer those two questions.

He was bored and wanted to leave.

Zhuang Long suddenly spoke.

He said something very puzzling. He said, “Sometimes, choosing to leave the person you love is also a form of protection.”

It was Bruce’s turn to be silent.

“Ha…”

“Protection?” He sneered and said, “There are thousands of ways to protect someone. Why choose the most undesirable one?”

“You don’t understand,” Zhuang Long said.

Bruce did not understand because Xiao Li had never told him the reason for her divorce from Zhuang Long.

From the standpoint of a bystander, Bruce felt that Zhuang Long had let Xiao Li down too much in that marriage. He wanted to mock Zhuang Long and make him suffer, so he said something that could pierce Zhuang Long’s heart. Bruce said, “Thank you for giving her freedom and letting me meet her. I won’t hesitate to make her happy.”

With that, Bruce patted Zhuang Long’s shoulder and thanked him solemnly. “Really, I’m especially grateful to you.”

As soon as Bruce finished speaking, a fist wind attacked him from the side.

Bruce’s left cheek hurt.

He staggered a few steps to the right from Zhuang Long’s punch and almost fell off the cliff. Just as he was about to fall off the cliff, Zhuang Long grabbed Bruce’s hand again.

Half of Bruce’s body was hanging outside the cliff. His feet were on the edge of the cliff, and one of his hands was held by Zhuang Long.

This scene was extremely dangerous!

Bruce, who was used to all kinds of storms, finally changed his expression. He wanted to scold Zhuang Long, but he had many worries and did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, Zhuang Long was the only person who could harm him and save him. If he said anything wrong, he might trigger this person’s anger and fall into a cliff.

Recalling what Xiao Li had told him about Zhuang Long, Bruce tried his best to calm down.

Bruce secretly sized up Zhuang Long. Seeing that Zhuang Long’s expression was only a little cold and there were no other changes, Bruce was relieved.

“I… I was just saying it randomly…” Bruce admitted defeat.

Zhuang Long seemed to be thinking about whether his words were true.

The wind whistled past their ears, and Bruce felt a chill down his spine. For the first time, he felt that Death was so close to him, even closer than a foot away. Bruce did not dare to look under him, afraid that he would be frightened out of his composure.

Zhuang Long finally stopped his thoughts and pulled Bruce back.

His feet touched the ground and his hanging heart instantly felt at ease.

Bruce couldn’t care less about his status and dignity and sat on the ground. Only when his butt was close to the ground did Bruce feel completely at ease.

Zhuang Long was standing, and Bruce was sitting on the ground. Both of them looked like dogs. However, the person standing looked like a beast. The person sitting was dressed exquisitely and handsomely, but he looked like a dog.
