Zhu Yulan waved her hand at him, clearly impatient.
"Then I won't disturb the Beautiful Zhu any longer. Call for dinner when you're free." Xu Musen smiled as he stood up, poured her another cup of hot tea, left the snacks he was holding behind, and left the office.
Until the mont the door opened, Zhu Yulan couldn't help but speak out: "Xu Musen, have you ever considered—if you fail, if you make the wrong choice, if you ss it up... can you really bear the consequences?"
The things he's about to do... they're actually not a big deal, the so-called moral restraints or even the law, are mostly just to constrain ordinary people.
Zhu Yulan was born into a wealthy circle, where she had seen too many of these "n with many wives and concubines," and which influential family doesn't have a few illegitimate children.
In wealthy families, these things are not a big deal.
But she understands Xu Musen—he is not the kind of person who, after he gets what he wants, thinks that just giving so money is enough to be uninvolved and carefree.
Neither An Nuannuan nor Yao Mingyue are those kinds of people.
This balance is the hardest.
Xu Musen paused in his steps, looked at the girl's expression, and after a brief mont of thought, he smiled slightly: "Of course I've thought about the worst outco, but I know even more so that not doing this would make regret it for a lifeti."
In his previous life, Xu Musen missed the encounter and the beginning with An Nuannuan.
In this life, he didn't want to miss the chance to start over and end things with Yao Mingyue.
What's more important is...
Xu Musen smiled: "I know that neither of them will leave , nor will I leave any of them. Since we know each other's feelings, there's no reason not to try, no reason not to choose, and no reason to fail."
His tone was calm but so firm that it was impossible to shake from any triviality.
That is a kind of trust, stemming from self-confidence in each other.
Zhu Yulan's steps trembled slightly, looking at Xu Musen's smiling corners of the mouth, his determined eyes, the bitterness at the bottom of her heart was transford into emotions she didn't even understand herself.
A scumbag, he makes young girls unable to leave him and thus acts without fear?
But amongst those scumbags, there's a bit of... pure love, as if in his heart, besides Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan, he can't fit a third person.
It's not that he wants to be a scumbag by liking two girls, but rather that he's destined to be liked by two girls in this lifeti...
This conclusion made Zhu Yulan feel like there might be sothing wrong with her own values.
Yet it seed so justified.
She let out a bitter laugh, looking at Xu Musen, took a deep breath: "I don't even know what to say about you... Forget it, I wish you smooth sailing then."
"You too."
Xu Musen nodded, leaving the office.
Only when his footsteps had disappeared did Zhu Yulan raise her head, gently rubbing her eyes...
What's so great about it...
Zhu Yulan didn't want to think about these things, but the happiness Xu Musen spoke of when talking about his engagent, the determination when talking about his childhood sweetheart, that feeling of being chosen without hesitation, it really made one envious.
He's really getting engaged, huh...
Zhu Yulan felt the corners of her eyes uncontrollably turn sour, stood up with her teacup in hand, looking down at the bustling crowd below, so lively...
A single person, not knowing if the hustle and bustle brings joy or annoyance, but she knew that she might never be able to feel as significant as they do.
Just like the comrcial war between Jiaduobao and Wang Laoji, where the loser ended up being Kangshifu.
No, to be precise, this entanglent was between them to begin with, and she was the real outsider.
After all, was she one step too late...?
Zhu Yulan shook her head with a bitter smile; in her helplessness, there was also a touch of letting go—perhaps it had always been her one-sided wishful thinking.
Who says liking soone must lead to results.
Sotis, it's the love that you know won't lead to results that's truly remarkable.
"Knock, knock..."
A knock on the door sounded, and Zhu Yulan, thinking it was Yang Xiaotao, said, "Co in."
The breeze ca through the doorway, but the footsteps were not the clattering steps of Yang Xiaotao, they were steady and elegant.
"Dear sister, he's already gone far away, what are you still looking at?"
A soft and voluptuous body gently hugged her from behind.
Zhu Yulan struggled free, stepped back and turned to look at her elder sister, her tone devoid of much fluctuation: "What brings you here?"
"I ca to see my little sister who's not returning ho for the New Year. Isn't that the righteous thing for as your elder sister to do?"
Zhu Xianglan was dressed in a fur-rich, luxurious dress, exuding a mature charm that no young girl could compare to.
"There's nothing good to go back to, and I'm quite fine here by myself."
Zhu Yulan shook her head, watching the constant flow of people on the streets, the common folk too will imrse themselves briefly in joy for the New Year.
Zhu Xianglan sat in the chair Xu Musen had just occupied, looking at the blanket and snacks laid out in front of her, and then at her sowhat distracted sister.
She sighed: "Silly little sister, is he getting engaged?"
"How did you know?"
"Huhai isn't that big, and although the An Family is low-profile, such affairs can be deduced by those who are interested in inquiring."
Zhu Xianglan looked at her sister: "So, what are you planning now?"
"What can I plan? They're off to get engaged, how blissful, am I, a single dog, supposed to have any say?" Zhu Yulan laughed mockingly at herself.
"That's not necessarily true; getting engaged is not the sa as getting married. If you still have feelings, your sister will definitely support you, get him drunk, drug him, or tie him up and bring him here for you to properly train..."
Zhu Xianglan gave a few examples, but before she could finish, Zhu Yulan stuffed snacks into her mouth.
