She stood up and left .

‘It isn’t embarrassing to admit you like someone…’
Su Yue smiled helplessly to herself . Third sister-in-law had no idea that she was in love with a man who had a fiancée .
And he was eight years older than her .
He was Third Brother’s close friend .
Su Yue’s wound was healing well after staying at home to recuperate for a week . The pain was bearable except for some itchiness at night .
Jiao Chen was really busy these few days . But he still took the time to call her every night to check on her recovery .
Their interaction seemed like they were good friends . Su Yue felt contented and she liked it .

It was the weekend and as Christmas drew near, Christmas trees could be seen everywhere . The streets were littered with shoppers, too .
Su Yue and Bai Jing had fixed a time to go shopping together .
There was a massive Christmas tree in the middle of a shopping mall atrium . Colorful and twinkling lights decorated the tree, and every shop had a small Santa Claus outside the entrance .
Su Yue was standing on level five and peering at the crowd below .
Bai Jing hadn’t reached yet, so she stood there waiting for her with a cup of warm bubble tea .
Su Yue stood there in a gaze, staring at the crowd and lost in her own thoughts .
Suddenly the cup slipped out from her fingers when she unconsciously loosened her grip .
As expected, the drink splashed someone in the crowd .

That person yelled out presumably in shock as his eyes wandered upwards, looking for the culprit .
Su Yue hastily squatted down, afraid of being noticed . She moved stealthily back .
After retracing her steps, she bumped into an obstacle . It felt like a person’s leg .
Oh no, did that person find her so soon?
Su Yue hung her head in guilt .
The man had his hands deep in his pockets as he gazed at Su Yue . He had a warm and affectionate smile on his face .
His secretary hurriedly scuttled towards him and was about to speak when the man glanced at him . The secretary understood the man’s intention and immediately clammed up .
“Yueyue . ”
A familiar and pleasant voice sounded above Su Yue . She blinked, unable to believe her ears .
Was it a hallucination?
Why did she hear Uncle Ming’s voice?
“If you carry on squatting here, I’m sure they will easily spot you . ”
The man’s voice sounded again and Su Yue raised her head . Her eyes met the man’s eyes—which resembled black jade—and her heart skipped a beat .
“Uncle Ming, you…”
“Let’s go . ”
Su Yue didn’t finish her sentence when Ming Ansheng bent to hold her hand . He pulled her up and led her towards the elevator .
Confusion and astonishment were clearly etched on Su Yue’s face . She glanced at Ming Ansheng’s face, and her heartbeat was racing rapidly like their footsteps .
Ming Ansheng held Su Yue’s hand as they walked to the escalator . They could see the victim drenched in bubble tea on the escalator across them . He seemed to yell at the mall security guard .
Su Yue hung her head and hid behind Ming Ansheng by instinct .
Ming Ansheng glanced askew at her and grinned . “How is your wound?”
Su Yue nodded and muttered, “I’ve recovered . ”
She didn’t dare to look at Ming Ansheng and pulled her hand away from his grip .
Ming Ansheng’s hand and heart suddenly felt empty when Su Yue pulled her hand away .
After a fleeting moment, he put on a smile once more . “Why are you alone?”
Su Yue softly spoke, “I’m meeting Bai Jing, but she isn’t here yet . ”
