But while he might have been able to forget that night, she couldn’t. That night, he had been truly infatuated, very serious, and had excitedly embraced her, making her his woman. At that mont, she had thought he would never leave her, that he would always belong to her. She had been so happy, so contented. She had believed that this happiness would last a lifeti. Unfortunately, she was wrong. When she truly woke to reality, she realized that bliss was rely fleeting—too brief and illusory. It wasn’t sothing she could call her own. It was just a beautiful myth, so close yet unattainable, existing only in dreams where she pondered its beauty.
"Thank you, Hua Xiaomo, but do you really want to give this ring back to ? Why must you be so cruel? Do you rember what you promised ?" Zi Yunsui didn’t want to bring up the past, when she had promised to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to register their marriage, but now, for so reason, he still couldn’t help but ntion it with so reluctance.
Perhaps it was because he couldn’t bear being rejected. The person being rejected was him. Indeed, why was it him? Was it because he had been involved in a car accident? Was it because Qi Longbing was Candy’s biological father? Did that make Qi Longbing more qualified to be with Hua Xiaomo? But Qi Longbing was already married. He no longer possessed that qualification, so what right did he have to pursue Hua Xiaomo again? Qi Longbing shouldn’t have the qualification to pursue Hua Xiaomo; by what right could *he* still pursue *her*? Compared to him, *I* am far more qualified!
Hua Xiaomo listened, her gaze tightening for a mont. "I’m sorry, Zi Yunsui. I know this is hard for you, but I really can’t help it. Regarding the things I’ve said before, I hope you can understand. I believe you do understand, don’t you? Because you are my best friend, my best partner."
"This is how I’ve felt for so ti now. Please understand, Zi Yunsui. You truly are my best friend, and I can’t bear to lose you, but I hope our relationship remains strictly that of friends," Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Zi Yunsui with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
There was a trace of pain in Zi Yunsui’s eyes, and a hint of agony on his handso face. Looking at Hua Xiaomo, his eyes stung slightly.
Looking at her face, her lips, he couldn’t believe that what she was saying to him now was real. He had really lost her. But now, she was telling him they could only be friends. Was that possible? Really possible? After what had happened between them, could they truly go back to being just friends? He felt doubtful, seriously doubtful. There were so things he knew he couldn’t do, and he wondered how she could manage them. No matter what, he couldn’t forget that night; it was simply too profound, too hard to forget.
Zi Yunsui didn’t speak, but Hua Xiaomo felt a burst of tension as she noticed his gaze fixed intently on her face. His look was srizing and absorbed. Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but blush, admitting to herself that Zi Yunsui was a very handso man. Moreover, he was younger than Qi Longbing, and he exuded a youthful aura that was quite captivating.
However, at this mont, she knew what choice she had to make.
Since she had chosen Qi Longbing, she shouldn’t string other n along. Besides, her feelings for Zi Yunsui had never been romantic from the start.
"Zi Yunsui, why are you looking at like that? Do you think I’ve changed a lot? The things I promised you before, I can’t possibly achieve now. Do you hate for it?" Hua Xiaomo gazed at Zi Yunsui, a complex mix of emotions stirring within her.
She had indeed promised Zi Yunsui to let him be Candy’s father and to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to register their marriage. But looking at it now, it all seed like a joke, a beautiful bubble that had burst. She couldn’t allow herself to entertain those feelings anymore. Perhaps they had been impulsive at the ti. Maybe it was just an impulse, and after the impulse faded, she would return to rationality. She felt that her relationship with Zi Yunsui could only be described as friendship or perhaps familial affection, definitely not romantic love. The feelings she shared with Qi Longbing were sothing she couldn’t experience with this young man. After all, she still loved Qi Longbing in her heart. Qi Longbing was also very good to her. He was an even more charming man who understood what won needed and knew how to care for them. Often, they shared an inexplicable tacit understanding. She didn’t quite know how to put it, but deep down, she still hoped for a perfect future with Qi Longbing.
Hearing all this, Zi Yunsui felt a slight headache. Of course, many other things ca to his mind. Pressing gently on Hua Xiaomo’s shoulder, he said slowly, "Xiao Mo, don’t make your decision so quickly, okay? At least wait until Qi Longbing is truly divorced. It won’t be too late to decide then. Besides, I suspect Qi Longbing won’t divorce that easily. So, if he’s wasting your ti, do you think it’s worth it?"
"I think I still trust Qi Longbing. He can achieve these things, and he can make and the child happy. This is what I’ve always believed, so I trust that he can do what he promised. We will wait here for his return."
"Zi Yunsui, actually Ye Xiangxue is really nice. You should try spending so ti with her. You’ll discover her good qualities," Hua Xiaomo said, looking at him with a faint smile on her beautiful face. At that mont, she wished for his happiness too, but she knew she couldn’t be the one to give it to him. The woman who could make him happy was Ye Xiangxue, not her. Ye Xiangxue was an excellent young woman, and if Zi Yunsui could be with her, he would undoubtedly be very happy. Of course, it also depended on how Zi Yunsui himself ca to understand the aning of happiness. In any case, Ye Xiangxue was very good to him. If Zi Yunsui were to let Ye Xiangxue down, he would certainly lose that happiness. He would regret it then, and she truly didn’t want to see Zi Yunsui filled with regret, nor did she want to see Ye Xiangxue in pain. Therefore, those two really should be together. No matter what changes occurred, this conviction shouldn’t waver. She silently blessed them in her heart. Although they weren’t together now, she always believed that after everything they went through, they would eventually find their way to each other.
