“No, you don’t have to worry about Xiaojiao!” Su Yue immediately cut across Ming Ansheng .
She realized that she was overly nervous and worked up . She bent her head and tucked some strands behind her ears . “It’s alright . I can take care of Xiaojiao myself . My brother hired someone to help me . And… there is no need for you to think of us . ”
She was really afraid that someone would replace Jiao Chen’s place in Xiaojiao’s heart .
She didn’t want that to happen .
Ming Ansheng was intelligent and observant ever since he was a boy . He had been working for so many years, so how could he not tell what was on Su Yue’s mind?
A streak of bitter disappointment flashed past his eyes and he replied, “I’m just concerned about both of you . I don’t have any other motives and I certainly don’t intend to take Xiaojiao away from you . I just couldn’t bear to see you staying here alone . ”
Was he speaking the truth?
It really… seemed like he was .
He didn’t dare to harbor hopes about them having a future together . But how could he leave her in the lurch?
Su Yue was relieved, and she replied, “I’m already used to the life here . I’m familiar with the people and places too . And my neighbors are really nice to me . You don’t have to worry about me . ”
Except for the fact that Jiao Chen was gone, she was used to everything here .
She really had no wish of going back to meet everyone else .
Ming Ansheng frowned slightly and sorrow lingered in his eyes . He exhaled deeply as he glanced at Su Yue . “Yueyue, can’t we be friends?”
“No,” Su Yue objected as she looked solemnly at Ming Ansheng . “We should have led parallel lives and never met each other . But because of my third brother, we met coincidentally for a brief period . We are destined to lead separate lives . ”
In her heart, she felt that they were destined to be strangers . Their past, their relationship, they were merely a passing coincidence .
Pain mercilessly stabbed Ming Ansheng’s heart .
He had already expected that Su Yue buried her feelings for him .
But it was still an agony to hear her say it in person .
She had forgotten all about him, yet he was still wallowing in misery .
This was the punishment for his cowardice and being so useless . He had hurt two women who had loved him deeply .
“Uncle Ming, why are you still dwelling on the past?” Su Yue watched Ming Ansheng with a stoic expression .
Ming Ansheng gazed into the depths of Su Yue’s eyes . “In that case, will you be able to put down the past and look ahead?”
Su Yue nodded, looking determined . “I can do it . ”
She had to do it . Jiaojiao was gone, so there was nothing she should hold on to any longer .
She will lead a new life with Xiaojiao bravely . She knew that Jiaojiao would be happy to know .
It startled Ming Ansheng . He curled his mouth and muttered, “Take care of Xiaojiao and yourself… I won’t look for you if you don’t allow me to . ”
Su Yue smiled at him and swept past him without another word .
She did it without any hesitation .
Ming Ansheng remained rooted on the spot with his hands in his pockets . He absentmindedly gazed afar .
Ming Ansheng, you’re still a coward .
The boy entered the study and frowned when he saw that the air was thick with smoke .
