Peerless Cupid System

As the truck drove into the residential area, Ling Ziqian felt uneasy.

He stood at the entrance of the residential compound and saw Dou Rongguo jump out of the car and lead the moving company workers upstairs.

No way?

Ling Ziqian stood there dumbfounded.

A hand reached out and pulled Ling Ziqian away.

"Ziqian, let's go." Su Mingxi pulled Ling Ziqian.

“That guy…” Ling Ziqian turned to look at Su Mingxi, his mind still a little foggy, “Is he… moving?”

Su Mingxi nodded, her smile fading; she too felt a pang of sadness.

This is a bit too sudden, isn't it?

“I don’t think it’s sudden at all,” Huan Yue’s voice suddenly rang out.

"When did she mention this?" Ling Ziqian quickly asked Huan Yue.

"Well, she didn't mention moving, but she did make an appointment with you."

Upon hearing Huan Yue's reminder, Ling Ziqian immediately froze.

That night, as she left Cui Qiuzhen's house and carried Dou Xiaorong back home, she made two promises to herself.

We'll be applying to the same university, and dating is forbidden!

Why would she make such a promise to herself?

Ling Ziqian looked toward the moving company's truck.

"Ziqian, let's go." Su Mingxi was still holding onto Ling Ziqian.

"Did that guy tell you to stop me?" Ling Ziqian asked Su Mingxi.

Su Mingxi lowered her head awkwardly, tacitly agreeing, "She said she hoped you could give her a farewell gift..."

Is this why this guy urged me to buy a gift just now?

"I want to go up and take a look." Ling Ziqian insisted on entering the residential area.

"She's no longer home," Su Mingxi whispered.

Ling Ziqian felt like he couldn't breathe. That guy, how could he just leave without saying a word?

Even though she's gone, Ling Ziqian still wants to go up there. Dou Rongguo is still here, and he wants to ask him.

Breaking free from Su Mingxi's grasp, Ling Ziqian entered the residential area and headed towards the apartment building.

I've walked this road many times since I was a child, and every time I did it, it was to find that guy. This time is no different.

The difference is that I could find her before, but now she's gone.

In the hallway, Ling Ziqian encountered moving workers carrying furniture.

Sofa, coffee table, wardrobe... these are all furniture from that guy's house.

When she went upstairs, her home was empty and felt completely unfamiliar, as if she had gone to the wrong place.

Dou Rongguo stood in the center of the empty living room, directing the staff.

He smiled when he saw Ling Ziqian approaching.

"Ziqian, you're here. Why do you look a little unhappy? Didn't Xiaorong tell you that we're moving?"

"I just got back from out of town." Ling Ziqian gave an awkward smile.

Dou Rongguo felt somewhat embarrassed, as if he had deceived Ling Ziqian.

He had always regarded Ling Ziqian as his son-in-law.

Dou Rongguo felt somewhat ashamed that he hadn't known about such a big thing happening in his family.

"Uncle, why did you suddenly move?" Ling Ziqian asked, voicing his doubts.

"Well, don't laugh at me, Ziqian," Dou Rongguo said with an embarrassed smile. "Over the years, my career hasn't taken off, which is why I've lived here for over a decade and become your family's neighbors for just as long."

"A while ago, I was spurred on by you, and then I mustered up the courage to take on a regional agency..."

"What do you mean by being provoked by me?" Ling Ziqian was completely baffled.

"You're only eighteen and you've already invested in a supermarket, while I'm forty and still haven't accomplished anything, so, hehe."

Chapter 184 Do you like her?

So that's the reason!

Ling Ziqian stood there dumbfounded, while Dou Rongguo smiled sheepishly to the side.

"Uncle, you..." Ling Ziqian's mouth was dry, and he didn't know what to say.

"Ziqian, don't worry. Although we're moving, we're still living in Haitang City. It'll be a bit far, but it'll still be easy to meet up!" Dou Rongguo smiled, patted Ling Ziqian on the shoulder, and went to direct the workers.

Since we're still living in Haitang City, why move?

Ling Ziqian could only roar this in his heart.

He wanted to stop him, but Dou Rongguo thought he was just a child and his words wouldn't carry much weight.

Are we just supposed to watch Dou Xiaorong leave like this? (Zhen Yi's sarcastic remark.)

How could that be? That guy is my childhood sweetheart!

"Uncle!" Ling Ziqian shouted, startling everyone in the room.

"What's wrong with Ziqian?" Dou Rongguo looked at Ling Ziqian, puzzled.

"Um..." Ling Ziqian didn't know what to say, so he quickly organized his thoughts, "If we move, will Xiao Rong transfer schools?"

"Hmm." Dou Rongguo nodded. "At that time, it will be a bit far from Shilian Middle School. It will be inconvenient for students to attend."

"However, transferring schools will affect the college entrance examination, such as issues related to student registration!"

“I asked the school leaders, and it’s okay, because we’re still in Haitang City, not that we’ve been transferred to another city.”

"But, but, a sudden transfer to another school would have a huge impact on Xiaorong, right? She'll be taking the college entrance exam next year, and moving now would be too much..."

Dou Rongguo walked towards Ling Ziqian, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked one out, and handed it to Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian quickly waved his hand, indicating that he did not smoke.

"It's good that you don't smoke. And don't get hooked on it in the future." Dou Rongguo muttered to himself as he lit a cigarette.

“Uncle…” Ling Ziqian couldn’t understand why Dou Rongguo suddenly offered him a cigarette.

As he smoked, Dou Rongguo's expression became somewhat melancholy. He turned to look at the empty, dilapidated house.

"Ziqian, do you know what a man's responsibility is?"

"Uh..." How did we get onto this topic?

Dou Rongguo reached out and placed his hand on Ling Ziqian's shoulder. "A man is the pillar of the family; he needs to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family."

"As I just said, I was a failure in the past, and my wife and daughter lived in this kind of house for more than ten years. Although this kind of life is not good enough, it is not bad either. Our neighbors have changed one after another."

“Some of them bought houses in the city center, some immigrated abroad, and in short, they all went to enjoy a high-quality life. As for my family, because I am not capable, we have been stuck in the same place.”

"As I just said, I was spurred on by you, which is why I'm determined to give them a high-quality life from now on!"

Dou Rongguo's words left Ling Ziqian speechless.

He didn't want Dou Xiaorong to leave and wanted to persuade her to stay, but faced with Dou Rongguo's reasons, his own reasons about their childhood friendship were shattered and not worth mentioning at all.

Dou Xiaorong was not his girlfriend or fiancée; she was merely his childhood sweetheart.

"Ziqian." Dou Rongguo looked at Ling Ziqian, his expression somewhat guilty.

"We actually think you and Xiaorong are a good match, but everything depends on fate. You know what it means to be destined for each other. If you and Xiaorong are truly meant to be, even if we move to the ends of the earth, you will still meet!"

Such words did not make Ling Ziqian laugh.

Dou Rongguo laughed heartily and said some happy things.

"Ziqian, I can say I've watched you grow up. I used to think you were always staying at home and wouldn't amount to anything, but lately, your actions have made me look at you in a new light. Ziqian, I have high hopes for you!"

After patting Ling Ziqian on the shoulder, Dou Rongguo went back to direct the workers.

They're highly regarded!

However, I am still confused about the future.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Ziqian walked to the door of Dou Xiaorong's room.

The room was empty; the bookshelves and wardrobes were familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar.

Where did that guy go? Has he moved to a new house?

Honestly, why didn't you tell me? That's outrageous!

Go downstairs and leave the residential area.

Standing at the entrance of the residential compound where he met that guy every day, Ling Ziqian felt somewhat at a loss.

"You have a lot of ambiguity points now, so changing Dou Rongguo's mind will be a piece of cake," Huan Yue reminded her.

“…” Ling Ziqian nodded, but he didn’t have that thought.

Dou Rongguo just said those words, saying that men are the pillars of the family and that he wants to give his wife and daughter a good life.

How could I possibly change his mind?

"Sigh, the root of the problem is that you're too young. If you were in your twenties, you could immediately bring Xiao Rong home and not care where Dou Rongguo moves to."

Ling Ziqian took a deep breath. "Anyway, let's give it a try!"

"How do you plan to win this over?" Huan Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Didn’t you say I’m still young? I’ll ask an adult to step in.” Ling Ziqian took out his phone and dialed Yu Meiren’s number.

A moment later, the call connected, and Yu Meiren's voice came through.

"Beautiful Sister!" Ling Ziqian shouted.

"Oh, you're calling out so readily, do you want to ask me for something?" Yu Meiren laughed.
