On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

One hundred million a year—Yan Huaixu was shocked, yet also found it extremely ironic and laughable.

However, he still insisted on his idea: "Just because he didn't succeed before doesn't mean he will never succeed. He himself hasn't given up on himself, so why should you give up on him? How about we make a bet? I bet he will make it big one day. If that day comes, you have to promise me one thing."

"Yan Huaixu, you still dare to make demands of me? Have you forgotten how you lied to me before?"

When Yuan Yuan heard him make another request, she immediately raised her hand angrily, as if to hit him.

Instead of dodging, Yan Huaixu stepped forward, facing her with half of his face still bearing the injury on his forehead.

"Miss Yuan, do you want to slap me again? It's fine, go ahead and hit me! As long as it helps you vent your anger, I'm willing to accept it."

Yuan Yuan: "..."

"Yan Huaixu, what exactly are you trying to do?"

With a stern face and a cold, stern tone, he posed the question.

Yan Huaixu met her gaze, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection, the emotions in them so intense they seemed about to burst forth. Yet, his brows furrowed, his Adam's apple bobbed, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"I've already confessed my feelings, don't you know what I want to do?"

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

She knew exactly what he was planning, but...

"So what if I confessed? When I want to leave, I can still leave without hesitation. Yan Huaixu, I admit I have feelings for you. You're a very complicated person to me, and I really want to find out more about you. But curiosity is only temporary and will eventually dissipate. Don't worry, I'll stand up for you when you're wronged, but that's all. If you insist on supporting Shen Zhouhe, I won't stop you, but don't try to use this to make demands of me. Whether he succeeds or not has nothing to do with me."

"You still care about my hesitation back then, even though you know I had my reasons, you still mind?"

Yan Huaixu looked at her with heartache, his eyes revealing surprise.

Yuan Yuan chuckled and said, "A helpless predicament? I only know that if you truly love someone, it's impossible to let go. It's just that after weighing the benefits, you decide it's not worth going all out for."

“Not everyone should put feelings first,” Yan Huaixu said sadly. “For some people, just surviving is already a struggle. But I could struggle to survive on my own, but I couldn’t do that with you. I don’t think there was anything wrong with giving up our relationship under those circumstances. I spent seven years working hard, achieving success and becoming worthy of you. We came back to each other, both single. Why can’t we start over?”

"Letting go is your own business, but whether we can start over is a matter for both of us. It's late, I should go."

Yuan Yuan let her arms fall limply, a hint of sorrow flashing in her eyes, before turning and leaving.

After she left, Yan Huaixu closed his eyes heavily and let out a long sigh.

He originally thought that since she was unmarried and he was unmarried, there was still time for everything.

Now he is capable of accepting her feelings and confident in standing by her side; everything is so beautiful and hopeful.

This road may be bumpy, but it will definitely not be difficult!

But now he realizes he was wrong.

How much did it hurt her to let go and leave back then?

Once the foundation of trust collapses, it is very difficult for her to rebuild it.

But what could he do back then?

He was penniless; did he really expect Yuan Yuan to give up her status as a heiress to a wealthy family and live with him in a rented apartment, eating only steamed buns and cabbage?

He could endure that kind of hardship himself, but he couldn't let her live that kind of life.

If he could do it all over again, he would still let go and leave.

After leaving the hospital, Yuan Yuan drove her car onto the bridge and parked it.

However, he didn't get out of the car; he just opened the window to let some fresh air in.

She has not contacted her godfather, so the truth of what happened back then is still uncertain.

It wasn't that she believed Yan Huaixu would never lie to her.

Instead, they felt that the truth of what happened back then was not important; what mattered was the outcome.

He chose to leave without her knowledge, even if it was for her own good.

But my sadness and grief back then were real.

It's true that I later found it difficult to fully commit to relationships.

He had his reasons, but wasn't she just as innocent?

Now, a casual "I'm sorry" is all it takes to get her to say "It's okay."

It's not that easy.

"Yuan Yuan, are you off work?"

My phone rang; it was Li Qi calling.

"I've been off work for ages. What's up?"

"Yeah, I'm bored. How about we grab a drink? I want to chat with you."

Li Qi said in a dejected tone.

"Okay, send me the address."

Yuan Yuan hung up the phone, started the car, and navigated to the address Li Qi had sent.

She definitely needs a drink to relieve her frustration.

After arriving at the bar, go inside and find Li Qi.

Li Qi dislikes noise, so she asked for a card holder.

"You seem a bit off. What's wrong? Are you having something on your mind?"

As soon as Yuan Yuan entered the room, Li Qi noticed her expression and asked curiously.

After Yuan Yuan sat down, she smiled and said, "Aren't you a surgeon? When did you switch to psychology?"

"Psychology is a required course. Even though I'm a surgeon, I still know a little about psychology. That's not important. Tell me, what's bothering you? It's really strange. It's one thing for me to have worries, but you're like a sage all day long, not caring about anything. Even when you broke up with Gu Shenjin, you were so calm. You can have worries too?"

However, if it's company business, then don't mention it; I'm not interested in your company's affairs.

"How could I be bothered by company matters? It's a relationship issue."

Yuan Yuan did not hide anything and told the truth.

Li Qi became even more curious and asked in surprise, "You also have relationship problems? With Shen Zhouhe?"

"Do you think it could be him? I think to myself now that guy is always trying to mess with me."

When Yuan Yuan thought of Shen Zhouhe, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

Shen Zhou was constantly pestering Yan Huaixu, and she began to suspect that he might have taken a liking to Yan Huaixu.

This is one of the reasons why she doesn't want Yan Huaixu to get too close to Shen Zhouhe, but she finds it difficult to say it out loud.

I thought Yan Huaixu would be sensible, but who knew he was completely clueless and had no sense of caution whatsoever.

"Who else could it be but Shen Zhouhe? You haven't fallen in love with someone at first sight, have you? Tell me quickly, let me be happy."

Li Qi immediately became interested, forgetting her unpleasantness, and revealed a curious look with a gossipy expression.

Yuan Yuan turned to her and asked, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Li Qi: "..."

"Of course I don't believe it. How could such feelings exist in this world? That's why I've always thought that Ah Shen and Zhou Yining's relationship was just lust at first sight."

“I don’t believe it either, so it wasn’t love at first sight. I don’t know what kind of feelings I have for him.”

Tell me, and I'll help you analyze it.

Li Qi then suggested with shining eyes.
