âDump him. You two are not a suitable match. I can give you everything I have.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Erruo shoved him away with furrowed brows. âLet me go, Sun You.â
âIâll let you go if you stay.â
âI wonât leave!â
Only then did he release her. Staring at the fresh flowers in his hands, he said, âRuoruo, to be honest, someone with a background like mine has plenty of admirers. My parents have introduced me to plenty of girls, though I never had any romantic feelings for them. Iâm not sure if it was Fate that allowed me to meet you here.â
He paused for a moment before continuing. âI felt something different for you from the first time I laid eyes on you. I donât know if this is what people usually call love at first sight. Youâre a really pretty, outstanding girl who seems similar yet different from the girls my parents tried to set me up with. Each movement of yours can send my heart thumping, and each word you say to me can make me happy for a very long time. Iâm really, really fond of you.â
â...â
As she was about to open her mouth, he hastily interrupted her. âI know Chief Mo is a lot more outstanding than me and that you have feelings for him. After all, heâs the Prince Charming that many women dream of. But, Ruoruo, the two of you are truly an incompatible match.â
When he said that, she coldly replied, âItâs not up to you to decide if weâre a compatible match.â
Nevertheless, the guy was relentless. âHeâs a militarian whose hands are stained with blood. Just today, I saw him killing plenty of people. Not even a child was spared. I donât know and I donât want to know what kind of person he is, but I do know that youâll never be happy with him!â
His revelation shocked her. He had seen Mo Jiangye killing those people?
âIf he hadnât killed them, he wouldâve been in danger. Likewise, if he hadnât killed that boy, I wouldâve been dead instead. Thatâs enough, Sun You. I repeat myself: I do not and will not ever have any romantic feelings for you, now or in the future.â
âFeelings can be developed.â
Her lips were pursed into a grim line. âI have spent more time with you than with Chief Mo, but Iâve never developed such feelings for you. On the other hand, my heart thumps for Chief Mo even though heâs only been here for less than a day. Therefore, Iââ
âRuoruo!â Sun You raised his voice all of a sudden and cut her off mid-speech.
A deep frown settled on her face as she turned to leave, reckoning that it was pointless to continue having this conversation with him.
This made him frantic. Shoving the flowers into her arms, he pinned her against the tree. âYou havenât spent some proper alone time with me.â
He had finally found a girl that he liked and wanted to spend a lifetime with. How could he possibly be willing to let her go?
Fate was something one needed to grab hold of tightly. Even the slightest carelessness could mean missing something for a lifetime.
The woman flung his arms off right away, reacting as though she had come into contact with something shocking. âWhat are you doing? If you continue behaving like this, Iââ
âWhat are you going to do? Continue rejecting me?â The two hands he placed by her side were clenched tightly.
âCanât we try dating? I, Sun You, havenât gotten into a relationship or chased any girl in the entire twenty-five years of my life. Youâre the first woman I want to do that with.â
âSun You! Iâll say it again: Let me go and step aside.â Her face grew stern and cold with displeasure as she was trapped between him and the tree.
âIs it truly impossible?â He released his hands, feeling somewhat dejected.
âItâll never work out. In fact, Iâm married to Chief Mo.â
His eyes bulged incredulously at the news. âYouâre married?â To Chief Mo?
âYes. The military training will soon be over. I hope youâll be able to keep my relationship with Chief Mo a secret.â As she spoke, she returned the flowers in her hands to him. After all, they might not meet each other again after leaving this place. She did not want gossip about her flying all over the place before she left.
âSis-in-law?â
Upon looking past her shoulders, she saw Xu Xu standing a short distance away, staring with a complicated expression between her and the flowers in her hands that she pushed back into Sun Youâs arms
