Chapter 240 Hexagram 8

Ye Qingwan understood what Louis was trying to say, and she fell silent.

She had actually noticed that there were too many people here, and she had just regretted it a little. She felt that she had been too impulsive and had actually started questioning Louis right there, making herself a laughing stock for these people who loved to watch the drama unfold.

"Then, let's go somewhere else."

Ye Qingwan remained silent for a moment before speaking to Louis.

"Okay, come with me."

Louis nodded and led the way.

"You, you're not thinking of running away again, are you?"

Ye Qingwan reached out and picked up the cake, following behind Louis, and asked somewhat warily.

"How could that be? This is my territory, don't worry."

Louis seemed to relax when he heard Ye Qingwan say that, and smiled as he spoke.

"Ah."

Ye Qingwan nodded, then silently followed Louis out of the conference room.

“Pah—”

As the heavy door of the conference room slowly closed, a dull thud seemed to completely shut out the noise inside.

However, the people who remained in the spacious and bright conference room did not calm down.

After a few short, suffocating seconds of silence, suddenly, like a powder keg being ignited, a burst of excited shouts erupted from the scene.

People were talking amongst themselves, and the focus of the conversation was invariably on the aloof and powerful Captain Ye Qingwan and Louis, the half-alien man who seemed to have a male sexual orientation.

It's worth noting that most people have some basic knowledge about these two individuals. For instance, there was a period when Ye Qingwan and Louis were deeply in love, but it ultimately ended in a breakup.

However, judging from the current situation, there seems to be an unknown inside story hidden in this seemingly ordinary breakup.

At this moment, only the hardworking and miserable technical staff remain at their posts, focusing on various complex technical analysis tasks.

The others, unable to contain their curiosity and excitement, chattered like cheerful little birds, expressing their opinions on this complicated relationship.

In an instant, the entire conference room was bustling with noise and excitement!

Some speculate that the difference in their family backgrounds prevented them from staying together, while others believe that personality clashes led to intense conflicts. Still others have even boldly speculated that one of them might have a secret they are hiding...

All sorts of strange and unusual ideas kept popping up, instantly turning the originally serious and solemn conference room into a place full of gossip.

"Ahem, cough, cough, stop thinking like that. Just focus on your work!"

After everyone had been chatting for about twenty minutes, Lingye suddenly coughed a few times, signaling everyone to stop guessing and gesturing with her eyes to look at the corner.

In the corner, a small camera was flashing red, indicating that it was working.

Everyone saw the camera, and the scene fell silent.

"Ah! Oh, right, right, Lingjiu, I'll help you!"

Lingyan was the first to react, and went to Lingjiu's side, who was so busy that his scalp was tingling, and pretended to help, and got busy with the work.

"Oh, I'll help too! Want some water? I'll make you some coffee!"

"Ahem, Sister Lingji, let's have a chat..."

"..."

Everyone reacted instantly, and regardless of whether it was true or false, they all got busy.

..............................

On the other side, Louis led Ye Qingwan to a smaller private room, but it was much better equipped than the previous conference room and had excellent soundproofing.

Inside the room, Louis and Ye Qingwan stood facing each other, neither of them speaking for a moment.

"Qingwan, I have something to tell you today."

Louis took a deep breath, looked into Ye Qingwan's clear eyes, and slowly spoke.

Ye Qingwan tilted her head slightly, waiting for him to speak.

"Actually, I have awakened an alien ability. This ability seems to be exceptionally magical and powerful, but it greatly depletes my life force. My lifespan will not be long."

Louis stared into Ye Qingwan's eyes and spoke slowly.

Ye Qingwan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"I don't want to hold you back. You deserve someone better to spend your life with."

Louis smiled wryly.

"So, this is why you insisted on breaking up with me before? If I hadn't been restricted from leaving due to my job, I would have woken you up by beating you. I don't care about any of this, don't you understand?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Qingwan spoke firmly.

Louis was stunned; he hadn't expected Ye Qingwan to say that.

"The length of life may be unchangeable, but we can increase its depth. No matter how much time is left in the future, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Ye Qingwan stepped forward and took his hand.

"Moreover, I am much older than you, and the lifespan of alien races is much longer than that of humans."

Ye Qingwan smiled, and Louis's figure was reflected in her brown pupils.

"I was worried that you would prefer someone else after I got old and lost my looks. Isn't this perfect? ​​If we can leave this world together, how romantic would that be?"

When Ye Qingwan talked about this, her smile was full of anticipation, and it seemed that she really thought it was wonderful.

But I'm afraid that in the end you'll be left alone to grieve.

Louis felt his eyes welling up with tears, and he hugged Ye Qingwan tightly.

"Those are the happy memories I chose. Besides, apart from other cases, it's almost impossible for a couple to die at the same time. So it's normal for one to die sooner."

Ye Qingwan leaned against him and whispered.

"Besides, the nature of my job means I might experience an accident even sooner than you, and then..."

"Don't……"

As Ye Qingwan was discussing these potential problems, she was stopped by Louis when she mentioned that she might leave first.

Louis silenced Ye Qingwan's mouth with his lips, silencing the words he didn't want to hear.

At this moment, the private room was filled with a warm atmosphere, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were deeply in love ten years ago.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Ye Qingwan suddenly thought of something and nudged Louis, asking him to let go of her first.

"what happened?"

Louis stepped back a little, but his hand still firmly held Ye Qingwan's waist.

"You, you mean...you like men now, don't you? I don't discriminate against homosexuals, but I can't be a wife of a gay man! If you really are, just tell me properly, and I can be your sister."

Ye Qingwan seemed to have thought of something. She was a little hesitant to speak at first, but she became more and more comfortable with it as she spoke.

However, there was a slight problem with what was said.

"Breathe—breathe—"

"I do not like men."

Louis took a deep breath and said, word by word.
