So what if one was rich? If everything could be resolved with money, then Gerald wouldn’t have to continue searching like this.
Shaking the thought off, Gerald then looked at the campus building before heading in its direction to continue his search for a woman with a strong yin physique.
What happened earlier was simply a small episode, and Gerald’s thoughts were soon replaced with a slight nostalgia as he stepped into the campus again after graduating for over two years.
As the saying went, life was a circle that went round and round. Regardless of whether a person was rich or poor, they would always end up returning to where they came from.
True to that saying’s words, all of this had started in this very university. After all, Gerald had first been told that he was the heir of the Crawford family while he was studying here. What more, Gerald had also met the love of his life on this very campus.
Even the milk tea shop at the entrance of the campus was still there, and the owner of that shop was still the same person.
Looking at the shop, he recalled how Mila had forgotten to bring her wallet out with her when she was buying some milk tea back then… Him helping her pay for it was their very first encounter…
Back then, his relationship with Mila had been both pure and innocent… There weren’t any earth-shattering or bitter moments in their relationship at all. Just a simple, ‘I love you and you love me’ relationship… Of course, good things never tended to last.
From the moment he had met her, Gerald had never wanted to be the heir of the Crawford family. If he could choose, he would’ve very much preferred to remain poor. After all, Mila didn’t despise him regardless of his wealth.
After graduating university, both of them could have continued living together happily. After getting jobs and collecting enough money, they could’ve even opened a milk tea shop together. By that point, they would’ve surely earned enough to get married and start a beautiful family together… All could’ve gone so perfectly…
Thinking about it, Gerald couldn’t help but smile slightly bitterly. Then again, there was no way that the past him would’ve been able to predict that all this would happen…
As he continued being deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice call out, “Hey there, handsome! You’ve been standing all dazed there for a good five minutes, you know? Are you alright?”
