“Oh? What do we have here? You’re knitting? A scarf for a man too?” Xixi giggled at the navy blue yarn .
“Don’t be so nosy… ” Her sister looked a little bit flustered .
“You have someone you like? Is this… for President Su?” Xixi could guess what her sister was thinking .
“I’m not sure… if he’ll accept it… ” Nie Lingxuan bit her lip nervously .
“Sis… there are so many great men . Why are you so hung up on Su Yu?” Xixi tried to talk her sister out of it .
“Why didn’t you go on any dates for the past couple of years? Isn’t it because you couldn’t forget about that mixed hottie?” her sister rebutted .
“That… that was different, okay? We’ve dated before… Yours is completely one-sided right now . Sis, I’m not trying to disappoint you… I just think that… you should give up on Su Yu . It’s probably not going to happen . He’s had so many women around him for the past couple of years… but he’s never liked any of them . Even someone as manipulative as Jian Tong couldn’t get him to like her… Su Yu’s really dedicated to Mian… I really don’t want to see you lose yourself… ” Knowing full-well how much Su Yu loved Huo Mian, Xixi had to stop her sister from liking the man .
Unfortunately, feelings were not something to be controlled .
If it could be controlled, there wouldn’t be so many scorned lovers, so many people suffering from the pain of losing a relationship .
“Xixi, I know what I’m doing . Actually, I’m not looking for anything . I won’t confess to President Su either… I just want to take care of him in my own way… quietly . ”
“But you’ll fall harder and harder… ”
“I won’t . I know the boundaries . ”
“Your profession is already a special one . If you don’t find a boyfriend soon, you’ll lose your best years . What’ll happen then? Whether it’s a rich businessman, some high government official, or an ordinary civilian, there has to be someone for you . Sis, don’t forget that you’re older than me by a couple of years . Don’t make Mom and Dad worry about you…”
“Alright little girl, stop scolding me . I know what you’re trying to say…”
With that, Nie Lingxuan wrapped her scarf around her neck in silence, breaking Xixi’s heart .
It was true that Su Yu was a one in a million kind of man… but he only had his eyes on Huo Mian .
Everyone on the Earth knew that… so was it really a good idea for her sister to like him?
After Xixi stayed with her sister for a while, she returned to her room and dialed Huo Mian’s number .
She wanted to treat the couple to a meal as a show of gratitude for the success of her difficult surgery .
Huo Mian was going to be busy for the next couple of days so she invited Xixi and Rick to their weekend gathering to make it even more fun .
Somewhere in the pedestrian streets, the people enjoyed themselves; their energies unhindered by the freezing temperatures .
The festive spirit colored the streets, lanterns and lights decorating every corner .
Donning a black winter coat, Tang Chuan walked around the town with Qin Ning .
Qin Ning was enjoying her ice sugar gourd happily .
“Our old city’s still the best, right?” Tang Chuan asked .
“Yes, it’s great . ”
“Of course it’s great . You’d never be able to feel the same atmosphere in Los Angeles . ” Tang Chuan looked proud .
“There’s a Chinatown in Los Angeles too, alright? It’s not like I’m from the countryside . ” Qin Ning rolled her eyes at him .
“Yes, Los Angeles has a Chinatown, but Los Angeles doesn’t have Mr . Tang . ” With that, Tang Chuan widened his mouth and took a huge bite out of Qin Ning’s ice sugar gourd .
The hardened sugar immediately shattered, falling all over Qin Ning’s hands, and she immediately became mad .
