After hearing Su Yu’s question, Huo Mian fell silent for three seconds. Then, she said slowly, “Although the truth is harsh, but it’s better than a lie, right? I’m sorry, Su Yu, I never liked you, not even a little bit… Even if Qin Chu never came back, I still won’t marry anyone else. It’s not because you’re not good enough for me; it’s only because Qin Chu filled my heart years ago, and there’s no room in it for you…”
Huo Mian knew that Su Yu would feel hurt by her words. But at a time like this, she had no other choice. Or else, he might feel a glimmer of hope.
“Okay then… I understand,” Su Yu responded, controlling his emotions and trying hard to keep his tears from rolling out…
Then, he quietly put the brocade box into the pocket of his suit. “Thank you for never lying to me, Huo Mian. Thank you for the truth.”
Then, he turned around to leave…
“Su Yu… We…” Huo Mian didn’t get to finish her sentence when Su Yu turned around and smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. “Nothing will change between us, just because Qin Chu’s back.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Mian smiled in relief.
She didn’t want her relations.h.i.+p with Su Yu to change just because Qin Chu was back. To her, Su Yu saved her life, and she treated him like family.
She loved him like family… and she couldn’t throw that away.
After saying all this to him, Huo Mian felt bad and heartbroken for Su Yu. But there was no room in love for empathy and pity…
Su Yu was a prideful man like an emperor; he didn’t want Huo Mian to choose him because she felt bad for him.
Huo Mian really wanted Su Yu to find someone better – after all, he was such a great man who deserved much more than her.
Therefore, she decided to rip off his band-aid… Huo Main hoped that he might be able to think things through and finally let her go…
After Huo Mian went back into the ballroom, she sat down beside Qin Chu and enjoyed dinner with family and friends.
Su Yu, on the other hand, went back to his room and locked the door. What Huo Mian said right now truly cut his heart like knives…
He knew he was being greedy; after all, she had rejected his feelings for her from the very beginning and never gave him hope. It was Su Yu who kept fantasizing that he might have a chance.
It turned out that… Huo Mian never really liked him, not even a little bit.
At this thought, Su Yu smiled bitterly. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. Then, he sat down on the leather couch and stared into the ocean…
– Inside the ballroom –
Pudding jumped down from Huo Mian’s lap. “Mommy, I need to go somewhere.”
“Where?” Huo Mian asked in surprise.
“It’s a secret…” Pudding said, then running out of the room.
“Wait…” Pudding disappeared before Huo Mian could say anything else.
At this time, Little Bean put down the tiramisu in her hand and jumped down from Qin Chu’s lap. She whined, “Daddy, I’m sorry, I’ll be right back as well.”
“Um…” The truth was, Qin Chu wasn’t used to how grown-up the twins sounded. They were only three years old, okay?
