Ming Ansheng hesitated before walking towards the couch .
He sat down next to Su Yue .
“Do you want water?” Su Yue placed the magazine down and asked Ming Ansheng .
Ming Ansheng shook his head and replied, “It’s fine . ”
He intertwined his fingers gracefully, with his elbows resting on his thighs . He appeared to be looking at Beibei and Xiaojiao, but his attention and thoughts were with Su Yue .
During these four years that she was overseas, he felt that mountains and oceans separated them . She was so far from him .
But right now, she was sitting next to him . But then, he felt that the distance between them didn’t diminish at all .
She was right next to him, but he couldn’t let her know how much he missed her .
He couldn’t hug or touch her .
Ming Ansheng’s intertwined fingers tightened and loosened repeatedly .
Suddenly, she stood up . A whiff of a familiar scent assailed his nose and it consumed him entirely .
He raised his head to peer at her . “Yueyue . ”
He had blurted out unconsciously .
Su Yue bent her head to look at him .
Ming Ansheng pressed his lips, and he appeared nervous . “Can you…”
He hesitated as though the words were stuck in his throat .
“Uncle Ming?” Su Yue glanced at Ming Ansheng and she looked puzzled .
She still called him ‘Uncle Ming’, but he didn’t feel surprised .
That was how she addressed him when they first met .
When she came back, she didn’t deliberately avoid nor distanced herself from him . And that was why he was disappointed .
It was as if nothing had happened between them . But then, everything had already changed completely .
Ming Ansheng fell silent and finally mustered his courage . “Can you sit with me for a while?”
Just for a while .
It had become a kind of luxury for him to hope that she would sit quietly next to him .
He didn’t know how to make her stay years ago, nor did he know how to fight for her .
Before he came to any decisions, he always weighed the pros and cons .
He had no idea that love was immeasurable .
If you treasured love, then it will stay with you for a lifetime .
If you treat it lightly, it will leave you without a trace .
And it will drown you in regrets and agony .
So, Su Yue was his love .
Although he knew that his love for Su Yue and Meiduo was different, he assumed that he would be able to get over her as time went by .
But it had never crossed his mind that after four years his love for her would unexpectedly deepen .
True love was so painful .
He regretted how he didn’t grab and stop her from leaving . Even if she had to become a stepmother to his son, he could still love and dote on her like his beloved child .
“I’ll get you a cup of water . ”
Su Yue deliberated before saying .
She turned around and walked to the water dispenser . She took the cup to Ming Ansheng .
Her hands were still so slender and fair . Her fingernails had a healthy pinkish tinge to it .
Ming Ansheng’s heart seemed to have softened at the sight of her hands .
He silently received the cup of water without thanking her . He felt that there wasn’t a need for formalities between them .
Su Yue sat down again, looking perfectly normal . After these years, she had matured and she became more refined and graceful .
Ming Ansheng turned to her . “Are you staying here with Xiaojiao?”
Actually, he ended work late each night . But he would still detour to the apartment and it had become a habit .
So, he knew where they were staying at the moment .
He didn’t know how to start a conversation, but he really wanted to .
