The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1208 - 1207: Reunion with Yue Qingshan

His immediate objective was to take one final glance at this city he had inhabited for so long. Even if an actual return became impossible, he could at least cherish the memories before his end. He proceeded to Zhu Lie’s former convenience store and lit a cigarette, his thoughts drifting back to bygone days. He remembered watching Han Xue’s retreating figure from this very spot daily. Back then, despite being the target of everyone’s ridicule, Su Changfeng had maintained a warm and contented existence, spending his days by Han Xue’s side, savoring a tranquil happiness akin to that of a married couple. After extinguishing his cigarette, Su Changfeng tossed the butt away. Just then, a familiar female voice cut through the air, “Don’t you know tossing cigarette butts is bad manners?”

Su Changfeng, startled, turned to face the approaching woman. He quickly retrieved his cigarette butt, complying with her reprimand, and deposited it into the nearest trash receptacle.

"Yue Qingshan, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!" Su Changfeng's gaze was stern as he addressed her.

A deep ache resonated within Yue Qingshan's heart. Her profound love for Su Changfeng had led her to sacrifice nearly everything, even jeopardizing her friendships, yet he consistently pushed her away, his feelings never mirroring her own. This rejection struck her with devastating force.

Nevertheless, Yue Qingshan was not one to surrender easily. She resolved to fight for any sliver of hope that presented itself.

"Simply seeing you again brings me joy." With these words, Yue Qingshan departed without further comment.

Su Changfeng let out a heavy sigh as he watched Yue Qingshan's retreating form.

Truthfully, he sometimes felt a flicker of tenderness for Yue Qingshan, recognizing the immense bravery it took for a woman to go to such extraordinary lengths for him.

During their time together in the United States, when Su Changfeng teetered on the precipice of life and death, Yue Qingshan had remained steadfastly by his side, even forsaking her own family ties.

Yet, despite these acknowledgments, Su Changfeng found himself unable to reciprocate her affections; he would never betray Han Xue, no matter who else was involved.

"I'm sorry, it seems I am destined to disappoint you. Perhaps in another life, I can repay your devotion," Su Changfeng murmured.

After his encounter with Yue Qingshan, Su Changfeng lost all desire to continue his aimless wandering. He hailed a car, preparing to depart from the area.

Once inside the vehicle, Su Changfeng stated his destination, causing the driver a moment of profound surprise.

The current turmoil at Xianwu Mountain was common knowledge, a situation so severe that even influential figures residing there were unable to return. What could possibly motivate this young man to request a trip to such a place?

Perhaps he was an outsider, completely unaware of the critical events unfolding at Xianwu Mountain?

Acting out of genuine concern, the driver felt compelled to offer a word of warning, "Young man, do you have important business at Xianwu Mountain? Have you not heard about the dire situation there?"
