His piercing blue eyes met Xin Yanting’s eyes, and he was filled with expectation .
Xin Yanting continued to gaze at him with her head raised . She was still mulling over what Jesse had advised her .
Jesse paused briefly before continuing . “Do you wish to waste your time and youth on that endless road?”
Endless road…
She knew clearly that the road had no end to it . She was aware .
Sigh!
Xin Yanting exhaled helplessly to herself . She muttered softly . “Let’s go eat . ”
She turned around and walked ahead .
Jesse followed after her closely . “Ting, I really want you to be happy . Putting aside the question of you falling in love with me or not . Five years ago before you returned, you weren’t like this . ”
“I’ve known you for nearly ten years . Before you came back to China, you were cheerful, optimistic, and lively . You were so confident . But now, I only see gloom and misery in you . ”
Xin Yanting continued to walk as she listened .
“He caused you unhappiness and he didn’t make you more beautiful or a better version of yourself . So he doesn’t deserve the love you’ve given him . ”
Jesse halted his footsteps, and Xin Yanting followed suit .
She paused and slowly raised her hands to feel her face .
He didn’t make you more beautiful…
How was she like now? She didn’t look in the mirror that often now . Even if she did, she wouldn’t scrutinize her appearance like how she did before .
She didn’t make the effort to dress herself up as well .
In the last five years, she finished her Masters, then her Ph . D . She worked while she studied at the same time .
She tried so hard to transform herself into someone knowledgeable, hardworking, and wise…
But that didn’t make her into a better person .
Suddenly, she smiled at Jesse . “Let’s go and have dinner . We can go to the hot spring later . ”
Jesse’s eyes lit up . “Great!”
This place was famous for the delicacies .
Xin Yanting stuffed herself to the brim and she really enjoyed the dinner .
Jesse saw that she tried to use her fingers to wipe her mouth . So, he pulled some tissues and handed them to her . “Wipe your mouth . ”
Xin Yanting dabbed at her mouth and said, “The fish stew is even better than the one made by my mom . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng was relieved to see her in high spirits . “We can come again . ”
“Let’s go to the hot spring . ” Xin Yanting threw the tissues away and picked up her bag .
She seemed eager and excited .
Jiang Zhuoheng replied, “You and Jesse can go ahead . I’ll skip . ”
He rose as he spoke .
Xin Yanting pursed her lips and eyed Jiang Zhuoheng . “You’re such a spoilsport . ”
She deliberately glared at him and stiffly marched away .
Jiang Zhuoheng helplessly stared at Xin Yanting, and he blinked in confusion .
Jesse strode past him with a grin, and Jiang Zhuoheng grinned too .
They didn’t bring any swimsuits, so they had to buy . Xin Yanting chose a rather sexy one, yet it wasn’t too revealing .
No matter how exhausted or haggard she looked, she maintained her voluptuous figure .
She wore a leopard-print swimsuit, and her long back hair casually tumbled around her shoulders and back . Her hair seemed to dance as she walked .
As she walked, she attracted the attention of the men and incurred the jealousy of the ladies .
