Ming Ansheng resumed his usual stoic composure and feigned surprise . “What happened?”
Su Yue sounded as though she bore a grudge . “He saw the news about us . So he broke up with me . ”
Her tears rolled down .
“He didn’t believe you?” Ming Ansheng was exploding from happiness . This break up was too good to be true and it happened at the right timing . But he had to consider Su Yue’s feelings so he softly replied, “Do you want me to explain to him?”
He extended his hand to wipe Su Yue’s tears .
“It’s all right . ” Su Yue shook her head to decline his offer . She dodged his hand too and faltered . “I… I…”
After a long while, she still couldn’t bring herself to say ‘I like you’ .
Ming Ansheng gazed at her with a frown . “Huh?”
“Silly fool, you’re the one that I like!”
Su Yue had the urge to bite off her tongue the moment she blurted it out . Or perhaps she should dig a hole to bury herself right away . Her face and neck were flushed .
Even she had shocked by herself, not to mention Ming Ansheng .
Her confession sounded vaguely familiar .
Ming Ansheng stared at Su Yue in complete disbelief . He was starting to doubt his hearing ability . “Lass, what did you say?”
“Jiao Chen doesn’t want me anymore . Do you still want me?” Su Yue fixed her pair of innocent-looking eyes at Ming Ansheng .
Her palms were cold with sweat and all the blood seemed to have gone to her face .
Ming Ansheng was still staring at her in silence . Su Yue waited with bated breath but he didn’t respond, and so, Su Yue assumed that he didn’t like her any longer .
She bent her head and her heart sank .
‘Jiao Chen doesn’t want me anymore . Do you still want me?’
If this question were to come from any other woman, it would seem like a joke to a guy .
And the guy would feel as though he was being treated as a spare tire .
But it sounded entirely different when Su Yue said it .
Even if he were to be a spare tire and she had come to him putting on such a pitiful pretense, he still liked her—regardless of any circumstances .
To Ming Ansheng, Su Yue was as precious as a piece of a priceless gem . No matter how grave a mistake she committed, he still wanted to cherish and protect her tenderly .
“It’s all right . ”
Su Yue finally broke the silence as Ming Ansheng did not respond . She shook her head lightly .
She wiped her tears away with the back of her hands and sniffed loudly .
Ming Ansheng suddenly stretched his hand to hug the tiny girl in front of him . “Little lass, the pain is killing me . ”
Su Yue raised her head and stared at him with a puzzled look . Her eyelashes were dripping with tears .
Her heart… seemed to have stopped beating .
She had confessed her love, yet Uncle Ming was complaining about the pain . What did he mean by that?
Su Yue blinked and her tears rolled down .
Ming Ansheng kissed the teardrops on Su Yue’s cheek and her tears moisturized his dry lips .
He chuckled softly . “Who told you that I was unwell?”
He really wanted to thank this person .
Su Yue blushed and muttered, “Your mother . ”
It pleasantly surprised Ming Ansheng . His mother was a docile woman and she usually listened to his grandfather’s orders . But incredibly, she had gone to look for Su Yue .
It was such a surprise .
It had never occurred to Ming Ansheng that his mother would look for Su Yue to tell her about his current state .
But it was an excellent move .
“Go back to your house,” Su Yue prodded Ming Ansheng gently .
They were locked in an embrace outside his apartment and anyone could easily spot them .
Ming Ansheng knew exactly what was on Su Yue’s mind . He chortled and said, “So what if someone sees us?”
