The President's Tender Trap

After a period of arduous effort and exploration, Su Wan finally uncovered Uncle Li's secret. Communication between her and her parents gradually improved, and her parents no longer avoided her questions, but gradually shared stories about Uncle Li. Su Wan felt a sense of relief from this change, but a deeper desire remained within her: to understand the true circumstances of Uncle Li's past and the role he played in the family.

During a conversation with her parents, Su Wan mustered up the courage to ask about Uncle Li and the woman she saw in an old photo. She wanted to know if the woman had a secret story with Uncle Li.

"That was Uncle Li's first love when he was young. Her name was Xiaoyu," my mother said in a low voice, as if recalling the pain of the past. "They were very much in love, but due to family pressure and some irresistible factors, they didn't end up together."

"Why have you never mentioned this?" Su Wan was full of doubts. "Doesn't Uncle Li want us to know about his past?"

My father sighed, a flicker of regret in his eyes. "We always thought that talking about these past events would make Uncle Li feel painful. We didn't want him to experience those sad memories again, so we chose to remain silent."

Su Wan's heart was shaken. She finally understood her parents' painstaking efforts, but at the same time, she felt a sense of loss. The past was like an unhealable wound, and the pain hidden in her heart had not disappeared.

"But I think facing the truth is the best way to get over it," Su Wan said with emotion. "Uncle Li's story shouldn't be buried. His experience is part of our family."

After this conversation, Su Wan decided to delve deeper into the story between Uncle Li and Xiaoyu. She began contacting some of Uncle Li's old friends, hoping to gain more information. After several conversations, Su Wan learned that Xiaoyu was a very talented and outstanding young woman, and that her relationship with Uncle Li was once a beautiful one. However, due to family pressures and the changing times, their relationship gradually became complicated and confusing.

Eventually, Su Wan found out about Xiaoyu's current life and learned that she had moved to another city and was living a peaceful life. Although time had passed, she still retained deep feelings for Uncle Li. Su Wan decided to meet Xiaoyu and hear her story.

On a sunny afternoon, Su Wan arrived at Xiaoyu's residence. She knocked on the door, feeling both nervous and excited. The door slowly opened, and Xiaoyu stood there, still as gentle and charming as ever. Time seemed to have left a gentle mark on her face.

"Hello, I'm Su Wan, Uncle Li's niece." Su Wan smiled slightly and felt warm in her heart.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiaoyu's eyes, and then a soft smile appeared: "Hello, Su Wan. Uncle Li has always been a good man. I am very happy to meet you."

The two sat down in Xiaoyu's living room. Su Wan began to confide in Xiaoyu about her doubts about Uncle Li and her thoughts on family relationships. Xiaoyu listened attentively, her eyes gleaming with understanding.

"Uncle Li was a very special person. He will always be a hero in my heart," Xiaoyu said slowly, her tone filled with nostalgia and gratitude. "We had many wonderful memories back then, but fate has forced us to separate."

"I understand that you once had a very deep relationship, but why didn't you end up together?" Su Wan asked cautiously.

Xiaoyu sighed, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "At that time, our families all hoped that we could have better careers, and Uncle Li's family was also facing a lot of pressure. In the end, we both chose our own paths, although we still cared about each other."

Su Wan felt a pang of heartache. She finally understood Uncle Li's inner world, the pain and helplessness hidden behind his smile. Xiaoyu's story was like a window, opening Su Wan's heart to a new understanding of Uncle Li.

"How is Uncle Li doing now?" Xiaoyu's tone was full of concern.

"He's been trying his best to protect us, but I think he might feel lonely to some extent." There was a hint of worry in Su Wan's voice. "I hope I can let him know that he is not alone."

Xiaoyu nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "If you can let him know my feelings for him, I believe he will feel relieved."

After several hours of conversation, Su Wan and Xiao Yu became closer. She learned that Xiao Yu still had deep feelings for Uncle Li, and she also hoped to convey her longing for Uncle Li through Su Wan.

"I'll tell him." Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart full of hope for the future.

Returning home, Su Wan felt a surge of relief. She had finally uncovered Uncle Li's secrets and learned about the past that had been buried. In the process, she felt a profound sense of release, and all her previous doubts and anxieties vanished.

"Have you seen Xiaoyu?" Su Wan's parents asked with concern when they saw her come back.

"Yes, she still has deep feelings for Uncle Li." Su Wan replied with a smile, her heart full of warmth.

The parents looked at each other, a trace of guilt and regret on their faces. Tears shone in the mother's eyes: "We never thought that Uncle Li had such feelings in his heart."

"We always thought that protecting you meant not letting you know these things, but we didn't expect that it would make you more confused." Deep regret was revealed in the father's voice.

"I understand your painstaking efforts, but I hope we can face the past together instead of choosing silence." Su Wan said slowly, with a firm tone in her voice.

After this conversation, Su Wan's parents realized that their previous approach had been inappropriate. They began to reflect on their actions and felt deeply sorry for Su Wan. The family atmosphere became even warmer, and trust between them gradually recovered.

"Thank you, Su Wan, for allowing us to reconsider these things." My mother's voice was gentle but firm. "We will work hard to repair our relationship with Uncle Li and let him know that he is not alone."

"I believe that our family will become closer because of this." Su Wan responded with a smile, her heart full of hope.

A few days later, Su Wan went to visit Uncle Li with her parents. She decided to convey Xiaoyu's feelings to Uncle Li and also hoped to let Uncle Li feel the warmth of family.

At Uncle Li's home, Su Wan told him Xiaoyu's story. Tears welled up in Uncle Li's eyes, and a look of emotion and relief crossed his face. He finally understood that he was not alone; his family always cared for him.

"Thank you, Su Wan." Uncle Li's voice was full of gratitude. "I always thought my choice was right, but I didn't expect you to feel pain because of my verleden."

"We are all family and should support each other," Su Wan said with a smile, "You never have to feel alone."

Uncle Li felt a warmth in his heart, and the pain and loneliness he once had were gradually replaced by a sense of relief. The family's bond became closer at this moment, and their trust and understanding gradually deepened.

As time went by, Su Wan's family relationships became more harmonious, and Uncle Li also reintegrated into the big family. The secrets of the past were no longer a burden on their hearts, but became an experience for them to grow together.

In this process, Su Wan not only gained understanding and tolerance for her family, but also found more strength in love. She understood that in the face of life's challenges, whether it was family disputes or inner struggles, love and support would always be her driving force.
