Kaka finished assembling the puzzle and hung it in the center of the living room. This puzzle was made specially for him, and he had put together himself; it was by far the most beautiful one he had ever completed. Kaka stared blankly at the puzzle.

For the first time, he didn't see Wu Shuang off.

Every time she came to London, he would see her off and bid her farewell with reluctance. But this time, all he could do was listen to the sounds of the plane landing and taking off again. He wasn't unwilling to go see her off; it was just that he hated farewells.

Previously, when he saw Wu Shuang off, he knew she would return soon, and he himself would be able to see her soon too. But this time, he knew that perhaps the next time they met could be years later—or even…never again.

Kaka couldn't express the ache in his heart; he struggled to calm his inner agitation and control his emotional fluctuations, standing straight before the puzzle until Chu Chu informed him that Wu Shuang and Mo Yao had already left.

Kaka nodded with little reaction. Enraged, Chu Chu turned around and stormed off; she couldn't understand her brother's behavior but at the same time felt heartache for him. It was dusk by now, and without lights on in the living room, her brother stood in the dim light, his expression unseen as he stared blankly at the painting. His silhouette merged into the night scenery, lonely and melancholic. She couldn't bear to stay and look at such a sight even though she longed to offer him some comfort; Chu Chu knew that her brother would never admit that he was feeling very unhappy or sad right then.

Little Chu Chu kicked over a pot of white roses in full bloom in the garden, sending them rolling far away. Normally, no one could touch these flowers in the rose garden without upsetting Kaka; did he still care now

Zhou Muhuan picked up the white roses and returned them to their place, pinching her nose slightly: "Even when you're angry, you shouldn't take it out on the roses."

Cicci pursed her lips and said, "If people don't cherish each other, what's the point of having flowers."

Zhou Muhannan was speechless. He gently held Cicci's shoulders and smiled as he said, "Cicci, has your brother ever done anything that disappointed you from a young age So you should believe in him; there must be a reason for what he’s doing. You also need to trust that Kaka wishes Unparalleled happiness more than anyone else. Their relationship is none of our business, and we shouldn’t interfere. Don't get upset."

"What kind of reason could there be" Cicci countered back. "Exactly what reason Does it mean that Big Brother truly likes Miss Ji Qi, so he doesn’t want Unparalleled then"

Zhou Muhannan smiled and said, "I don't know either."

Cicci huffed and raised her foot to stomp on the roses; Zhou Muhannan hurriedly stopped her. He didn't want this little princess to get into trouble with Kaka. Cicci felt annoyed inside and asked, "Do you know why"

"I don’t."

"How could you not know I think Big Brother must be hiding something from us; living together day after day, don't you sense any problems" Cicci sharply questioned him. A flicker of sharpness appeared in her eyes as she continued, "Is it because Big Brother isn’t feeling well"

Zhou Muhannan raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Cicci, why would you think that Kaka undergoes a physical examination every half year. You saw how agile he was when he brought Unparalleled back from the Devil's Castle; before that, he also dealt with the Middle East rebellion while working at Intelligence Bureau. How could there be any problems with him You're overthinking."

They both had intense physical training since childhood, and their constitutions were much better than ordinary people’s. They didn’t often get sick or catch colds, and all of their minor health issues were long treated.

Kaka is a future leader, so the physical requirements are even higher. If there were any health issues, the medical team of the First Terror Organization wouldn't miss it.

"What you said does make sense," Chu Chu also felt that she might have been overly concerned. Not to mention anything else, her brother personally handled the matter regarding Devil's Castle this time; his body should be fine.

But why then

Chu Chu racked her brains but couldn't find an answer. Zhou Muh寒牽過她的手，“算了，彆想了，卡卡這麼大人還用你操心嗎？我帶你出去玩兒。”

houhan saw that Chu Chu was unhappy, and in his eyes, Little Chu Chu was the happiest person in the world and a source of joy for everyone. He wanted Chu Chu to remain happy without any worries.

Zhou Muh寒牽過她的手，“算了，彆想了，卡卡這麼大人還用你操心嗎？我帶你出去玩兒。”

houhan and Chu Chu had just left when Fang Jiaqi entered the villa.

Kaka was lying alone in a lounge chair on the balcony. The balcony was filled with many pots of large red roses, and he seemed to appear and disappear among them. His face looked somewhat lifeless under the pale light.

Fang Jiaqi walked over to the balcony; Kaka glanced at her before turning away. Fang Jiaqi said, "Wu Shuang left."

"I know, Chu Chu told me," Kaka replied indifferently. Fang Jiaqi sat down beside him and smiled as she looked at him, "Do you want to go for a walk"

"No, thank you." Kaka said indifferently.

Fang Jiaqi sighed and helplessly said, "Nan Feng, if some things are decided early on, there's no need to be obsessed for too long. You should have ended it earlier; if you had made a decision sooner, neither of you would have been hurt."

"This has nothing to do with you," Kaka said in a stern tone that carried an air of authority. Fang Jiaqi shrugged and didn't get upset; Kaka never liked others touching on this part of his heart.

Wu Shuang was his weak spot.

"I know it has nothing to do with me," Fang Jiaqi said coolly. "I don't want to pry into your affairs either, but Nan Feng, I hope you won't regret this; some things in the world can never be retrieved once they're gone."

Kaka didn't react much, but there was a hint of sorrow in Fang Jiaqi's eyes that she hid deep down, hesitating to speak further. Kaka lay on the chaise lounge like a dead person, enjoying the tranquility of the dark night.

Fang Jiaqi said coolly, "Do you want to consider getting married If you get married, you won't have so many thoughts and it will finally put an end to your ideas."

Kaka frowned, glanced at Fang Jiaqi, and curved his lips into a smile that was neither here nor there. His eyes revealed a hint of mockery in the night, making him look eerie and sinister. "Getting married Jiaqi, do you think it's still necessary"

Fang Jiaqi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't care." It’s whoever says it.""The groom picks the bridesmaid, Uncle Er [second uncle]. Dear Uncle Er, who should be the bridesmaid" Ye Kalei abandoned Ye Sanshao and threw herself at Ye Nimo, hugging him ti...
