Chapter 1373: He Was Finally Going to Marry (IV)
"What I want, I can't get in my life..." Shangguan Hong secretly exhaled, his eyes staring straight at the portrait. "What's the meaning of the rest to me?"
Everything in the world, in his eyes, could not compare to his portrait.
When the butler heard his words, "what I want, I can not get in my life", his eyes turned gloomy, and tears almost rolled down his face.
The city lord was a god-like existence who could summon wind and rain, but he could not get a woman.
That was what the city lord desired the most, but he could not get it in his life.
"In the past, my father told me that the heavens are fair. If he gives you one thing, he will definitely take away another thing from you. If I can choose, I will choose. I don't want anything in the past, I only want her..." Shangguan Hong's words seemed to be slightly bitter! If I can choose?!
However, god would not give him the chance to choose!!!
The butler sighed softly. The most infatuated man in the world was his city lord!!!
With the city lord's status, he could have any woman he wanted. However, the city lord did not want any of them. He had been thinking about that woman all his life.
"However, the heavens still favor me in the end. At least, I met her once..." Shangguan Hong's lips curled into a slight smile. "So even if the heavens want me to be lonely for the rest of my life, I have no regrets."
The butler. "..."
The city lord was bewitched. He had been bewitched for a long time.
If he had not met that woman that time, the city lord would not have been like this.
If he had not met that woman, the city lord would have married another woman. At this time, he would have had many children and would not be as lonely as he was now.
In the past, he had wanted the city lord to take in an adopted son or daughter. He thought that it would at least be a relief to the city lord. Moreover, the huge family business that was Ghost City would need someone to inherit it in the future.
However, Shangguan Hong did not agree. Since the heavens had made up their mind to let him be alone for the rest of his life, without any sons or daughters, how could he compete with the heavens?
In the past, he had never accepted his fate. But now, he did, because he could not compete with the heavens.
Moreover, the adopted son and daughter that he acknowledged would not be his biological children. What was the point?
Shangguan Hong did not say anything else. Instead, he took a brush and continued to draw the portrait.
The butler did not say anything else. He turned around and wanted to leave. He wanted to pack his things.
"City Lord, are we going to Jin City first this time?" The butler took two steps and turned back to ask.
The city lord had not gone out for five years. Was it the same as before, going to Jin City first?
In the past, the city lord would go to Jin City first. If he did not find her in Jin City, and then he would go to other places in Country Z to look.
Of course, every time the city lord went out secretly, only he accompanied the city lord. No one else knew about it, not even the people of Ghost City.
Even Ah Cheng only knew that the city lord had gone out, but he did not know what the city lord had gone to do.
Shangguan Hong's hand stopped. He thought for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Yes, let's go to Jin City first."
Back then, he had met her in Jin City, so every time, he would go to Jin City first.
"Okay, I got it. I'll book the plane ticket right away." The butler nodded. Because every time the city lord went out secretly, he was very low-key.
