Su Weiyi hugged her knees, burying her head on them. In her memory, her young man did not smoke, but Si Nian told her that Sheng Yanxiao once smoked an entire pack in a day and almost ended up in the hospital.

In her memory, her young man did not like to drink, but Si Nian told her that Sheng Yanxiao had been hospitalized more than once due to stomach issues caused by drinking. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Su Weiyi hugged her calves tightly. She was wrong, she was truly wrong. The time apart did not bring forgetting, but rather hurt, endless hurt.

When she was with the Sheng Family, Su Weiyi really wanted to tell Sheng Yanxiao that she was wrong, that she regretted it, that she still liked him and had always only liked him.

But she held back because Si Nian’s final words were like a thunderbolt hitting her heart.

"If you still don’t have the courage to continue with him, then don’t provoke him again. Brother Xiao has just managed to recover, another round and he’d be ruined."

A man ruined because of a woman—how unpromising it sounds, how much like a cliched romance.

Yet, this was precisely a man’s profound and unforgettable love for a woman.

Yes, if she didn’t have the courage to continue with him, she should really not provoke him again.

If the incident from three years ago repeated, Sheng Yanxiao would be ruined, and she would be finished too.

But did she have the courage to move forward?

Su Weiyi was still uncertain. She knew she regretted it now, realized her mistakes, but were these two emotions enough to muster that courage?

She truly didn’t know.

The next day, Su Weiyi went to work with panda eyes, and during lunchtime, she received a call from Lu Zhang, saying their business was finished ahead of schedule, and they would return to the United Kingdom tomorrow.

Su Weiyi recalled she had brought Lu Zhang back yesterday, but then left him alone, not even knowing when he had left.

Su Weiyi, with a bit of apology, said, "I’m sorry about yesterday. Let me treat you to dinner tonight as a farewell."

On the phone, Lu Zhang’s voice was unchanged, still warm, and he chuckled, "No need, the folks from Q University will have dinner with us tonight. As for yesterday, Xiao Yi, don’t worry about it. Getting a meal at the Sheng Family’s is already worth my while."

Su Weiyi felt a little touched. Lu Zhang was just like that, always able to ease everyone’s awkwardness with a slightly humorous remark.

Su Weiyi didn’t say more, but Lu Zhang suddenly turned serious, "Xiao Yi, I like you, so I hope you’re happy. Your love isn’t wrong; muster some courage, you two are very suitable."

Su Weiyi was stunned, and the person on the other end had already hung up. The busy signal sounded "beep, beep" for quite a while before she put the phone down.

Her love isn’t wrong?

Of course, it wasn’t wrong. She never thought her love was wrong; she just chose family obligations over love.

Whether this choice was wrong, she didn’t know.

Su Weiyi shook her head and focused on her work.

"Xiao Yi, come here for a moment."

Si Xia emerged from the office and called her in. Su Weiyi stood up and followed her inside. Si Xia handed her a file folder and said, "The people at the design studio are quite satisfied, but there are still some details that need to be revised. Since you’re the person in charge, next Monday you should go over there and discuss things in detail to better advance the later stages of the project."

Si Xia was referring to the big project they had taken on before. Su Weiyi nodded, "Alright."
