The Perfect Destiny

Chapter 1

Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [1]

When Chen Liguo finished his last cigarette, he finally saw the woman come out of the door.

The woman was very beautiful and her light blue gauze dress swayed like the waves in the wind. When Chen Liguo looked at her, she was talking to the man beside her. Just by looking at her demeanor, one could tell that she was very happy.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Liguo’s heart was not relaxed. His eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes focused on the red bar on top of the woman’s head that only he could see.

The red bar was marked with a striking 88. Chen Liguo stared at the bar for a while, hesitated a moment, then extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can.

"Tongtong." Chen Liguo took a few steps and called the woman’s name from a distance.

Ran Tongtong was talking to the person beside her, upon hearing Chen Liguo’s voice, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She turned to look at Chen Liguo and said, "Wenyou, you’re back!"

Chen Liguo’s name in this world is Xu Wenyou, one of Ran Tongtong’s pursuers, a perfect spare tire^[1] that everyone admires.

"Yeah." Chen Liguo smiled and rubbed his hair, looking a little embarrassed. He said, "I received the invitation you sent me."

"Oh." Ran Tongtong’s cheeks reddened and she looked at the man beside her with a shy look. She said, “When did you return to the country? Are you planning to leave again? "

Chen Liguo glanced at the man beside Ran Tongtong and knew that Ran Tongtong truly did find her happiness, so why has Ran Tongtong’s progress bar not reach one hundred? He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still put on a smiling face and said, “I don’t know, it depends on the situation.”

“Long time no see, Wenyou.” The man standing beside Ran Tongtong finally spoke. His eyes were filled with vigilance. Evidently, he still cares about how Chen Liguo had pursued Ran Tongtong. He said, “If you have time, do you want to have a meal together?”

"No need," said Chen Liguo. "I have something to do, go first."

"Eh, Wenyou?" Ran Tongtong didn’t expect Chen Liguo to leave immediately and was caught off guard. She said, "Are you really not going to go eat with us?"

Chen Liguo was going to say no, but Ran Tongtong began to emit a faint blue light. He sighed in his heart and gave a wry smile, "Alright, I won’t continue to disturb your conversation."

Ran Tongtong smiled in satisfaction, and the three got into to the car together and went to the restaurant.

Throughout the entire car ride, Ran Tongtong asked Chen Liguo if his stay abroad over the past few years had been good. When Chen Liguo suddenly left without saying goodbye, no one could find him. It wasn’t until a few months later that Chen Liguo told Ran Tongtong that he had left the country and reminded her to not worry herself. Only then, was Ran Tongtong able lay her mind to rest.

The Wenyou that Chen Liguo played in this world should have probably spoken a little more, but he tucked these things away in his heart and stayed silent as Ran Tongtong reminisced about the old times.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three people got off and entered a private room.

Ran Tongtong ordered Chen Liguo’s favorite dish and chatted with him. On the contrary, her fiancé Gao Zheng did not say anything.

"Tongtong..." Chen Liguo said, "Is your wedding scheduled for next month?"

Ran Tongtong nodded. "Yes, it’s on the third of next month, you must come."

Chen Liguo made a sound of agreement, and said, “Don’t tell your older brother about the matter of me returning yet.”

Ran Tongtong’s brother is called Ran Qingkong and is one of the major reasons why Chen Liguo went abroad alone.

“All right.” Ran Tongtong has always wondered why Chen Liguo had a bad relationship with her brother, but since Chen Liguo has said so, she will certainly agree.

After dinner, Chen Liguo said goodbye to the two.

Looking at Chen Liguo’s departing back, a hint of melancholy appeared in her brows. Gao Zeng, who stood next to her put his arm around her shoulder and said, "What, reluctant to part?"

Ran Tongtong said, “What are you talking about, I am just worried about him... He has changed a lot in the past few years...” Having returned, Chen Liguo, although more mature, is also much thinner. No one knew why he went abroad and he had taken nothing when he left.

“You.” Gao Zeng reached out and touched Ran Tongtong’s head.

Chen Liguo didn’t go home directly. After bidding farewell to Ran Tongtong, he randomly found a hotel to stay at.

“Say, how come I can’t go to the next world, what’s wrong with Ran Tongtong’s progress?” Chen Liguo shouted in his mind, “Don’t tell me that I have to attend her wedding?”

“I don’t know.” A mechanical voice sounded Chen Liguo’s mind with a bit of doubt, “Maybe something went wrong......”

Chen Liguo pulled out a cigarette and lit it, he knew that the system could never be counted on.

“Forget it, let’s take things step by step.” Chen Liguo said, “First attend Ran Tongtong’s wedding...” Having said that, Chen Liguo thought that he would meet that man again, and he could not help but feel annoyed.

This is not the first world that Chen Liguo has experienced. In every world, he has to help a person change their destiny as a price to return to his original world. The first two worlds were okay, and there were no hiccups. But something went wrong in Ran Tongtong’s world.

By all accounts, Ran Tongtong and Gao Zeng are together and have avoided all the bad things that would have happened. The progress bar should have reached a full 100 and Chen Liguo would be able to enter the next world.

But currently......the progress bar on Ran Tongtong’s head would not budge.

Chen Liguo smoked the cigarette and crawled into bed. Anyway, Ran Tongtong’s wedding is coming up and rushing won’t produce any results.

The identity of Chen Liguo in this world, Xu Wenyou, is somewhat awkward. Xu Wenyou is an illegitimate son of Xu family, and although he was taken back by the Xu family, his status is not high. His sudden disappearance in foreign countries for a few years did not attract the Xu family’s attention – anyway, as long as he does not die in the Xu family’s home, who cares about how he is doing?

Unlike Xu Wenyou, Ran Tongtong is the Ran family’s most beloved youngest daughter.

However, if Chen Liguo does not intervene in Ran Tongtong’s fate, the girl has a very tragic ending. According to the original trajectory of the world, Ran Tongtong’s parents and brother Ran Qingkong will die in an accident when she is in high school. Then, Ran Tongtong will encounter several scum males and finally live a miserable and cold life.

In order to change all of this, Chen Liguo started approaching Ran Tongtong when she was a high school student and finally succeeded in changing Ran Tongtong’s fate a little.

In Ran Tongtong’s eyes, Xu Wenyou was a good friend who she could rely on with all of her heart. However, everyone who had a slightly better relationship with Ran Tongtong knew that Xu Wenyou had a crush on Ran Tongtong.

Chen Liguo thought of this, put out the cigarette in his hand, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Ran Tongtong really did keep her promise with Chen Liguo and did not tell anybody about his return. No one else knew about Chen Liguo until the day of her wedding.

The wedding day was a nice sunny day, and Chen Liguo took an already prepared suit out of the suitcase and neatly put it on.

The man in the mirror looked somewhat unfamiliar. Chen Liguo caressed the mirror with his hand and revealed a bright smile.

Half an hour, the wedding scene.

Ran Tongtong, who wore a white wedding dress, looked a little anxious. She looked at the door from time to time, as if she was looking forward to someone.

“Who are you waiting for Tongtong.” Ran Tongtong’s bridesmaid asked from the side.

“Well...” Ran Tongtong bit her red lips and whispered, “Wenyou is back.”

“What?!” The bridesmaid was shocked to hear this sentence, “You said Xu Wenyou is back home?!”

"Whisper. " Ran Tongtong cautioned.

“God, you didn’t ask him to come to your wedding did you?” The bridesmaid was full of sympathy for Xu Wenyou’s heart, she knew that Xu Wenyou had been crushing Ran Tongtong and secretly did a lot for Ran Tongtong. Later when Ran Tongtong and Gao Zeng’s relationship had stabilized, and Xu Wenyou suddenly gone abroad... Everyone in their circle of friends figured that Xu Wenyou must have disappeared because of Ran Tongtong.

“Yes.” Ran Tongtong said, “I sent a message to his mailbox. I didn’t expect him to come back.”

The bridesmaid hesitated for a bit, but still didn’t say anything. After all, today is Ran Tongtong’s wedding. It wouldn’t be good if something unexpected happens......

While they were talking, a person appeared at the doorway, Ran Tongtong turned to look and found that it was the person whom she had been waiting for all along, Xu Wenyou.

“Wenyou, you are here!” Ran Tongtong walked to Chen Liguo.

Chen Liguo looked at Ran Tongtong, who was wearing a wedding dress, and couldn’t resist reaching out and touching Ran Tongtong’s head, giving a gentle hum. Although others thought he liked Ran Tongtong, he actually thought of this girl as a sister whom he needed to take care of.

“Hurry and go greet the others, you’re already so big and yet you still act like a child.” Chen Liguo smiled. “Don’t worry about me.”

“Well...” Ran Tongtong was a bit sad, but she was very busy as a bride. After exchanging a few words with Xu Wenyou, she quickly left.

Chen Liguo sat in the position arranged by Ran Tongtong and found several familiar faces around him.

“Wenyou, you came back and didn’t even tell us?” His female high school classmates were the first to question Chen Liguo about this topic.

“Well...I was in a rush to come back.” Chen Liguo smiled.

Everyone was very curious about why Chen Liguo suddenly went abroad and Chen Liguo perfunctory said a few words before he excused himself to go to the toilet, avoiding the topic.

When everyone saw that he didn’t want to talk more they changed the topic.

Chen Liguo went to the toilet and took a pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket and lit up a cigarette. However, the cigarette just lit up when a male voice sounded behind him, “I haven’t seen you for a few years and you learned to smoke?”

Chen Liguo’s hand trembled, the smoke in his hand almost falling to the ground.
