Chapter 353: Su Chong’s Feelings
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosSu Xiaolu never expected that the person her brother liked was Lin Yaoyao.
Looking at his brother’s helpless expression and nervous stutter, it was obvious that he had a crush on her.
Only when he liked her very much would he be unable to control his emotions and do something that looked so childish.
For example, giving her a bun that he had personally made.
Su Xiaolu was already certain that the person Su Chong liked was Lin Yaoyao.
As for Lin Yaoyao, she took the gift from Su Chong. She looked at the uneasy Su Chong. He was handsome and looked at her shyly but persistently, making her understand that he wanted to send his sincere feelings and food to her.
Lin Yaoyao pursed her lips and looked at Su Chong. “Su Chong, I’m almost ten years older than you.”
It was hard for her not to be moved by such a good and outstanding man, but she was not an innocent girl. Although he liked her, it would not affect her calmness at all.
She had missed the marriage at the best age. She thought highly of herself and did not want to get married hastily. People of the right age were already fathers. What awaited her was either a man who had lost his wife or divorced his wife. He would already have children, and she could not be a stepmother.
Su Chong’s goodwill indeed tempted her. She was secretly delighted and worried that an unmarried and outstanding man would like her. The calm girl did not dare to easily entrust her life to him.
Lin Yaoyao looked at Su Chong, her calm and cold expression unchanged.
Her words made Su Chong nervous. His face turned red as he looked at Lin Yaoyao seriously and said, “I know, but I just want to be with you. My parents have allowed Brother Hua and me to marry the person we like. We’re not allowed to have any mistresses or concubines in our lives. We’ll only marry the woman we like in our lives. We want to have one person’s heart and never leave each other until we’re old.”
“If we can all live to 80 years old, we can still be together for 50 years. You’re a few years older, so we’ll only be together for a few years less. As long as we’re with the person we like, we’ll have a comfortable life every day for the rest of our lives. If we marry someone we don’t like, even if we only live to 60 years old and be together for more than 30 years, we won’t have a comfortable life every day. It’s nothing more than hellish torture.”
“No matter how many years I have left in my life, I don’t want to marry a woman I don’t like. If you don’t believe me, then let time prove it. Five years… No, ten years. If I don’t marry and you don’t marry in ten years, then how about you marry me?”
Su Chong revealed his true feelings. This was the most useful method he could think of, although his method was also very stupid.
In another ten years, Lin Yaoyao would be over 40 years old.
But he was also over thirty years old, and he tried to prove his steadfastness in this stupid, heavy way.
To prove it with his entire youth.
Lin Yaoyao looked at Su Chong, not knowing how to reply.
However, Su Chong smiled calmly and said even more firmly, “Senior Sister, don’t feel burdened. I want to do all of this myself. I will also work hard to improve my life. You can just be yourself. However, in the future, if I encounter anything interesting, I will share it with you.”
He was only waiting for the day when his sincerity would come true. He must bring her to see all the scenery he had seen.
“Senior Sister, Happy New Year. I’ll go back now.”
Su Chong smiled and left.
Only Lin Yaoyao stood quietly outside the door with the box in her arms. Her gaze was calm as she opened the box. Inside were buns that were shaped like two lambs.
‘Ten years. Is he serious?’
Lin Yaoyao picked up the bun and took a bite before returning to her room.
Su Xiaolu sighed faintly and was about to turn back home when she saw a figure at another corner from the corner of her eye. Su Xiaolu stopped.
That was Madam Chen. When and where was she? How much did she hear from Su Chong’s confession??
Su Xiaolu instantly felt that this matter had become complicated.
This was not something she should worry about at her age.
Su Xiaolu did not peek anymore and quietly left to go home.
Su Chong’s confession shocked Lin Yaoyao’s long-silent heart and Madam Chen. She didn’t know if she should be worried or happy to suddenly hear this.
Madam Chen returned to the kitchen in a daze.
Seeing that she was distracted, Lin Pingsheng could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Madam? Didn’t you ask Yaoyao if she wanted to eat mutton pot? She was fine when she went. Why was she so distracted when she came back?”
Madam Chen did not know if it was good to tell Lin Pingsheng about this. She said absent-mindedly, “It’s nothing. Yaoyao said she wants to eat.”
Lin Pingsheng put down the knife and looked at Madam Chen seriously. “Madam, you’re hiding something from me. How can I have a peaceful new year like this?”
Madam Chen had something on her mind, and Lin Pingsheng was very worried. In the past few years, when his daughter had recovered, Madam Chen rarely had anything on her mind. Apart from his daughter, there was nothing else that could make her worry.
Daughter? Lin Pingsheng’s heart skipped a beat and he became even more worried.
Madam Chen saw that Lin Pingsheng was anxious and quickly said, “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. Really.”
Lin Pingsheng sighed. “We’ve been husband and wife for decades. Apart from your daughter’s matter making you so concerned, there’s nothing else. How can you hide it from me?”
“If Madam doesn’t want to tell me, I’ll ask Yaoyao directly.”
With that, Lin Pingsheng pretended to leave.
Madam Chen quickly pulled him back and said helplessly, “Dear, wait. I’ll talk, I’ll talk, okay?”
Lin Pingsheng stopped in his tracks.
Madam Chen sighed and said, “I went to call Yaoyao just now and happened to bump into Su Chong and heard him confess to Yaoyao. I don’t know why this child likes Yaoyao. Yaoyao didn’t agree and only said that the age difference was big. Su Chong said that he will spend ten years waiting for Yaoyao. Ten years later, if he doesn’t marry and Yaoyao isn’t married, he’ll marry her.”
After Madam Chen finished speaking, she looked worried. “I happened to hear this and my heart was in a mess. If she could find a good husband, how could I want my daughter to die alone?”
“We watched Su Chong grow up. He has a good character and temper. My heart is like a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.”
Madam Chen hammered her chest.
Lin Pingsheng also tried his best to digest this information. After being stunned for a while, he said, “You just said that Su Chong confessed to Yaoyao.”
Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng were all his proud disciples. All of them were good sons and ministers. They would definitely be able to achieve something. As a father, he would definitely be a responsible father. As a husband, he would definitely not be bad.
He had never thought that Su Chong would like Lin Yaoyao.
This news was too shocking.
Madam Chen nodded under Lin Pingsheng’s incredulous gaze.
Madam Chen said, “Master, what do you think we should do? I’m very anxious. I’m afraid that Yaoyao will miss it, and I’m also afraid that Su Chong isn’t sincere enough and is making a joke.”
