Bai Yueguang returns to China, don't be a spare tire, divorce Lin
Chapter 102 I Don’t Want to Be a Brother
The moment he saw Lin Xuan step into the company, Zhao Yu finally felt relieved.
The upcoming meeting is of vital importance. However, until half past nine, he still hasn't seen Lin Xuan. Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, wondering whether Lin Xuan would miss today's meeting.
Fortunately, although Lin Xuan looked a little tired, his mental state was still good.
Everything was calm and peaceful, without any accidents or chaos.
Zhao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to hand the meeting materials to Lin Xuan, he heard Lin Xuan suddenly ask, "Who was that friend that Ye Wanqing went to pay homage to last year?"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He stared at Lin Xuan blankly, "Are you referring to the friend Miss Ye went to visit last year after her trip was delayed due to a car breakdown?"
As a senior assistant, Zhao Yu has always had an outstanding memory.
He quickly recalled this day last year, but he never expected that Lin Xuan would suddenly mention this matter a year later.
He couldn't help but think of the dusty investigation report, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be that Mr. Lin noticed that Su Junyan was somewhat similar to him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu's heartbeat accelerated.
However, he guessed wrong. Lin Xuan simply replied, "Yeah."
Zhao Yu was expecting him to continue asking questions, but Lin Xuan stopped there and said no more.
Zhao Yu quickly handed over the documents in his hand: "Boss Lin, this is the relevant information for the meeting."
"I understand. You go and prepare." Lin Xuan took the information and walked into the office.
Last year, he had asked Zhao Yu to investigate the identity of the person Ye Wanqing was worshipping. He vaguely remembered that the man's surname was Su.
At that time, he felt that he and Ye Wanqing had already divorced, and it would be meaningless and rude to delve into her private affairs, so he ultimately did not read the investigation report.
Su Junyan...
By the way, that person was Su Zimo’s brother.
This has been happening for two consecutive years.
During the five years of their marriage, would she go to the cemetery to pay tribute to Su Junyan every year on this day?
However, in the past five years, he had never paid attention to Ye Wanqing's private itinerary, and all of this was unknown to him.
Forget it, why should he bother with a dead person?
The cold wind in the cemetery made Su Zimo's face red.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him and said softly, "Go back to the car and wait for me."
Su Zimo shook his head: "I'm not cold, Sister Wanqing."
Seeing this, Ye Wanqing said no more. Su Zimo was Su Junyan's younger brother. If Su Junyan were here, he would definitely want him to spend more time with him.
But the weather didn't seem to be good. Near noon, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
The two did not bring any rain gear, so they had no choice but to leave the cemetery.
"I'll come see you in a few days."
Ye Wanqing gently placed the bouquet in her hand in front of the tombstone, carefully wiped the dust off the photos, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she slowly stood up and left.
Su Zimo stared deeply at the young man in the photo. That was his brother Su Junyan, who died at the age of 22. Now twelve years have passed. He has remained in that youth forever, and Su Zimo himself has quietly crossed the threshold of 25.
The pain of losing his brother was like an unhealable scar, deeply engraved in his heart.
"Sister Wanqing..." Su Zimo called softly. Ye Wanqing turned around with a questioning look in her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Her voice was soft and low, as if hiding endless thoughts.
Su Zimo pursed his lips and mustered up the courage to say, "I heard that Mr. Lin has already started arranging a blind date for you. It's been almost two years since you broke up. Haven't you ever thought about giving yourself a fresh start?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly, her eyes firm: "I don't need a new beginning. I'm fine being alone."
There was an indescribable determination in her words.
"Then...if someone is willing to protect you and give you warmth, wouldn't you be willing to give each other a chance?" Su Zimo asked persistently.
Ye Wanqing stopped and looked sideways at him. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she didn't answer in the end.
Su Zimo understood that she was thinking of her brother, the boy who would always remain in her memory.
He said nothing more, but just followed Ye Wanqing silently, his inner struggle surging like a tide.
Finally, he could no longer suppress his inner emotions, and he quickly stepped forward, walking side by side with Ye Wanqing, and said softly: "Sister Wanqing, I have grown up. I am no longer the little boy who needs your protection."
The drizzle was like silk, gently brushing their cheeks. Ye Wanqing stopped and looked at Su Zimo with complicated eyes: "What did you call me just now?"
Su Zimo's face paled slightly, but he still stubbornly repeated, "Sister Wanqing."
Ye Wanqing stretched out her fingers and gently pushed away his hand that was tightly holding hers: "Zimo, you should understand that there is no possibility between us."
Su Zimo's hands trembled slightly, but he was still unwilling to give up: "But I don't want to be your brother anymore, Wanqing... I want to stand by you as a man, take care of you, and protect you."
His tone was full of determination and desire.
Ye Wanqing sighed, her eyes soft but firm: "Zimo, you can stop calling me Sister Wanqing, but our relationship will never change. You can pursue your happiness, but I also have the right to refuse."
Her words were so clear and firm that Su Zimo was speechless for a moment.
"Think it over carefully. Do you want to be my brother or a friend who may never get a response?" Ye Wanqing continued, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.
Su Zimo looked at her, his eyes full of determination: "I don't want to be just your brother."
Ye Wanqing bit her lip lightly and finally said, "Okay, then you can move out and give yourself a new start."
Su Zimo's heart sank suddenly, but he knew that this was a choice he had to face.
He didn't act coquettishly or beg for mercy anymore, but turned around silently and went upstairs to pack his luggage.
After a while, he came downstairs carrying his suitcase and said to Ye Wanqing, "I've moved to an apartment near the company. I'm free during this period. Can I treat you to a meal?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly: "I may not have time."
"It's okay, let's talk about it when you're ready." Su Zimo said with a smile, an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly reached out and gently stroked Ye Wanqing's hair. Ye Wanqing subconsciously dodged, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Zimo!"
"I said, I won't be your brother anymore." Su Zimo repeated, with a firm and mature tone.
He was afraid that he would make her angry, so he didn't stay any longer: "Then I'll go first."
Ye Wanqing looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling mixed emotions.
In the end, she didn't speak to persuade him to stay: "Well, be careful on the road."
"I will, and you too, take care of yourself." Su Zimo said, and the burden in his heart seemed to be much lighter. "Goodbye."
He turned and walked away, his steps firm and resolute.
Ye Wanqing stood in front of the window, watching his back gradually disappear in the rain, feeling both reluctant and relieved.
She knew that Su Zimo had grown up and was no longer the little boy who needed her protection.
