âLet it be, I canât even bother mentioning it, I just donât like her, donât like her at allâ¦â
Han Baobao gave Nanxi a tug, âLetâs go, letâs head to the restroom and make our escape later!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â(âoâ)?
Escape?!!!
â¦
Inside the private room, Han Qing poured another cup of tea for Han Shaojing.
Her eyes twinkled, her fair face flush from the steam, a few strands of loose hair hanging by her forehead, adding a refreshing aura.
Her every motion in pouring, serving and drinking the tea was elegant and graceful.
Han Shaojing diverted his gaze, pressed his thin lips and said, âSo, youâve already met!â
Han Qing smiled, âYesâ¦
a coincidental meeting!â
She paused then said, âQuite unexpected, I didnât think it would be her!â
âThereâs nothing surprising.
Sheâs young, same age as Baobao, twenty-two this year, and eight years ago she was fourteen, and Yinchu was twenty-fourâ¦
If she was an ordinary woman, Yinchu would not have waited two years without making a move!â
Han Qingâs eyebrows were drawn together tightly, her fingers trembling slightly, she remained silent.
âThe way he takes meticulous care of her, itâs obvious he cares deeply for herâ¦â
âWhat are you trying to say?â
Han Qing lifted her eyes, a touch of desolation in her gaze which caused Han Shaojingâs mocking smile to fade, âWhat I am trying to say is, you likely donât have a chanceâ¦
Before Nanxi appeared, you perhaps had a slim chance, but now, that slim chance is goneâ¦â
He paused, then said, âHan Qing, I brought her here to meet you not because I wanted you to do anything against her.
As a matter of fact, thereâs nothing you could doâ¦
because Yinchu holds all the power to decide.
If you canât let go, in the future you wonât even be able to remain friends with Yinchuâ¦â
Han Qing bit her lip, her fingers clenching tighter around the cup, her eyes becoming moist, âBut Iâve been by his side for six yearsâ¦â
âDuring the six years you were with him, he was waiting for Nanxi all alongâ¦â Han Shaojing stated bluntly, âHan Qing, six years ago, I brought you to this city because I saw your potential, yourâ¦
I donât want to see you destroy yourself to pursue a man who was never meant to be yoursâ¦
As your cousin, thereâs only so much I can do for you!â
âI donât understand!â Han Qingâs eyes filled with unshed tears, her fingers trembling, âI donât understand what he sees in Gu Nanxi.
What am I lacking compared to her?â
âYouâre not lacking in any wayâ¦â Han Shaojing inhaled deeply, and continued, âYou are wonderful!
But Han Qing, in matters of feelings, there are things you may not understand.
When Xiaoyue died, Yinchu was there to witness it all.
He pulled Xiaoyue from the crushed car, being hit by the car himself and soaking his clothes in bloodâ¦
Xiaoyue slowly stopped breathing in his arms.
Can you imagine that kind of despair and pain?â
Han Qing blinked her eyes, but did not speak.
Han Shaojing continued, âAt only nineteen, such a beautiful young girl lost her life.
As bystanders, we were devastated.
But how could Yinchu, her biological brother, not be devastated?
That accident eight years ago left Yinchu physically and mentally scarred, Mo Yan nearly became disabledâ¦
The despair was unbearable for everyone.
If not, why would Yinchu leave his family, his company, everything and go to Hong Kong?â
âBut the heavens eventually showed mercy, who knew that in his intense grief, he would meet Nanxi, the light of his life.
This encounter unlike any other, unforgettable, engraved in his bones; love at first sight, till death do them part!
Do you understand?â
Han Qing bit her lip, she didnât understand, she really didnât, and she didnât want to!
Was it because she was two years late in meeting him, she didnât meet him at his most despairing moment, so she was destined to be pushed aside?
Was she destined to be the one whose feelings were never reciprocated?
It was really unfair!
She met Lu Yinchu in her prime, six years ago, when Lu Yinchu, twenty-six years old, was successful and young and handsome, and she was twenty-two, in the prime of her life!
She thought it was a beautiful encounter, the most heart fluttering and memorable encounter in her twenty-two years of life.
But she never thought this was only her beautiful moment, her unforgettable encounter!
This, was really unfair!
âThen, dear cousin, do you like Lu Yinyue?
You just said, she was very beautiful, at the age of nineteen⦠she lost her life.
So, you must have loved her, and all these years, your tenderness has been for her, hasnât it?â
Suddenly, Han Qing lifted her head to look at Han Shaojing, her eyes were wet, but the beam in them was sharp!
Sometimes Han Qing truly thought that she was a cruel person, she was hard on others, but harder on herself!
Just like right now, she had become a wreck and she had to drag another person down with her.
As if only when that person was as broken as her, would she feel a bit better, even if just a little!
Han Shaojing looked at her, a self-mocking smile lifting his lips, then he suddenly stood up, his hands inserted in his pockets, and said with an indifferent expression, âYou are free to think whatever you want!
I still have to take Baobao and Nanxi to dinner.
You probably wouldnât want to go, so just forget about it!
Iâll be leaving first!â
After Han Shaojing finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Han Qing watched his departing figure, her eyelashes trembled and tears fell.
