Forgive? Yan Su felt lost.
She raised her head, and with misty eyes, she tried to see that familiar face of his more clearly. She tried to touch him, but once her fingers moved, her mind pictured him rolling on a bed with another woman.
She had lost her virginity too.
Once, they were both young. They carefully promised each other the best of themselves, yet that was long gone.
A while later, she nodded. âOkay, Shi Xiang, I forgive you.â
Shi Xiang smiled excitedly. However, what she said next, froze his smile.
âBut we canât be together anymore.â Yan Su pulled his hands off her shoulders and said, âImagine, if one day I slept with another man to obtain a better life, would you tolerate it?â
Shi Xiangâs pupils shrank. He hurriedly shook his head and said, âYou wouldnât do that. Su, your family is rich, and youâre proud. Youâd never do something like that.â
âYeah, my family is never short of money, but in order to be with you, I gave up everything. In my earlier college years, I sang in a bar for money, but I was happy. Some people offered me things to sleep with them, but I rejected them without hesitation. Iâd rather exhaust myself with work every day. I wouldnât be able to start my career as a singer if I wasnât so lucky. I wouldnât give up on my bottom line, even if I couldnât become a singer. I donât care if Iâm popular or not, because I can always do another job. The entertainment industry was never my only choice.â
Yan Su said sadly, âIâm sorry, Shi Xiang. We have chosen two different paths long ago. We are not meant to be together. Iâm glad that you told me the truth eventually. It helped me realize Iâm not entirely a failure. You can leave now. I wish you a bright future and Iâm sure youâll find a better girl than me.â
âNo!â Shi Xiang panicked. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight.
âSu, donât be so sure. Give me a chance.â
After saying that, he lowered his head to kiss her.
Thinking about him and another woman, Yan Su couldnât help but dodge his kiss. âShi Xiang, Iâm gonna scream if you donât stop. My assistant is outside, and thereâre reporters downstairs. Letting people know about this will do you no good.â
Shi Xiang froze.
Yan Su pushed him away and said, âLeave.â
Shi Xiang didnât move but stared at her with red eyes.
...
Behind the door, Jiaojiao was getting anxious. Shi Xiang had been in the room for quite a while. She didnât know what the two of them were talking about.
Her brain was working nonstop at that moment. She recalled Yan Suâs strange reaction that occurred every time she heard Shi Xiangâs name. She figured they might know each other.
They werenât together, were they? The idea made Jiaojiao excited. If it became news, the entire entertainment circle would be stirred. It would be shocking.
At that moment, Mo Liuxi walked over from the other side of the hall, with one hand resting in his trousers. He made the hallway look like a fashion runway.
Looking at him, Jiaojiao was dazed.
âWhy are you standing here?â Mo Liuxi asked as he walked up to her.
âOh, Iâm... waiting for someone. Some reporters are coming to interview Su, and I think they might not know her room number.â While speaking, Jiaojiao looked around. She mustnât let Mo Liuxi know that Shi Xiang was in Yan Suâs room.
Mo Liuxi crossed his arms before his chest and said with a bland tone, âJust tell them the room number. You donât have to wait here, do you?â
