My Youth Began With Him

"Xuan, can you understand me now?"

"I understand…" Nie Lingxuan was still crying.

"Please don't cry. I can't bear to see a woman cry…" Su Yu was helpless. He wanted to wipe her tears with a tissue but thought it might cause a misunderstanding.

Since he didn't want to be with her, he'd better not give her hope.

"I don't have any hope at all? Dr. Huo has her own family and children… She has her beloved husband. So, you can never be with her. But you can't remain single all your life, right? Can you give me a chance?" Nie Lingxuan discarded her pride and begged.

"I'm sorry, Xuan. I don't have the courage to try it. I'm afraid I will hurt you."

"I'm not afraid of being hurt," Nie Lingxuan said stubbornly.

"But I'm afraid of hurting myself…"

"What about Miss Zeng? You can accept her as a cooperation partner but can't accept me…" Nie Lingxuan asked with unusual boldness.

"It's because we don't feel anything for each other. Zeng Rou has someone she likes, and I have mine. We are pretending to be a couple for the sake of our families, but it won't impact our personal lives and we won't hurt each other."

"Then… will you two marry?" Nie Lingxuan asked in tears.

"This… I don't know. I can only say that I have no intention to marry for the time being," Su Yu said honestly.

"Okay. I understand… Anyway, thank you, President Su."

Nie Lingxuan turned and ran out.

"Hey! Wait! Don't run so fast. I'll have someone drive you home…"

"No. I can manage." Nie Lingxuan covered her mouth and ran out in tears.

Su Yu opened the door and looked at An. "Follow her. She's emotional and I'm afraid she might get into an accident."

"Okay." An followed his boss's instruction and ran after Nie Lingxuan.

Su Yu dropped onto the sofa with a heavy sigh.

"Here…" Zeng Rou took out a can of iced beer and handed it to Su Yu.

"Good. You know I want to drink beer…" Su Yu glanced at Zeng Rou sulkily.

"I see you are feeling bad after rejecting the girl…"

"Yeah. She's a good girl. People in the company and our circle all like her."

"Then why did you reject her?"

"Do I have to like her just because she's a good girl? Do you think I have universal love? I'm not a central AC," said Su Yu sulkily.

"I think you're worse than a central AC. You didn't even give her a little bit of warmth," Zeng Rou joked.

"Woman, you just want to mock me?"

"It's not mocking. I truly think the girl is good…"

"You're not jealous?" Su Yu asked her slyly.

"Don't be ridiculous. I don't like you; why should I be jealous?" Zeng Rou gave him a dirty look.

"I hope so. Zeng Rou, never ever fall in love with me… I'm serious. I don't want to hurt anyone…" Su Yu said in a low voice.

"Su Yu, if this time Huo Mian didn't return and had died, what would you do?" Zeng Rou asked seriously.

"I never thought of it. In my heart, she'll never die; never…" Su Yu said firmly.

"Does Huo Mian know you love her so much?" Zeng Rou had been sympathetic towards Nie Lingxuan, but now she pitied Su Yu even more.

If you have the bone-deep love for someone but that person doesn't even know how crazy you feel about her or him, isn't it sad?
