Chapter 57: I’m Sorry, Wu Jie, I Have Soone I Like (4 updates)_1
After lunch, Tang Su went to the counter to pay the bill. Wu Jie let Ade take Shen Cheng and Ruan i to open the shop first, and he would follow shortly after.
Ade wanted to say sothing but, fearing Tang Su might co over, ultimately didn’t and called Shen Cheng and Ruan i to leave.
Both Shen Cheng and Ruan i were girls, and they were more sensitive than Ade. They had already noticed that Wu Jie looked at Tang Su differently. Every ti Tang Su ca to the shop, there was a light in Wu Jie’s eyes.
However, at that ti, Tang Su had a boyfriend, and they all felt sorry for Wu Jie.
Now, Tang Su had broken up with Ye Sichen, and Ye Sichen was so despicable. For the sake of his ex-girlfriend’s dog, he hit his current girlfriend with a slap. This kind of scumbag should be dumped as soon as possible.
It’s just that Tang Su broke up with Ye Sichen because of his violence.
Wu Jie’s recourse to violence today might not necessarily win Tang Su’s favor.
“Why aren’t the two of you talking?” Ade asked them.
“What do you expect us to say?” Ruan i answered.
“Haven’t you noticed that Wu Jie is harboring a secret crush on our boss?” Ade thought this was a secret no one else knew.
“We’ve seen it long ago, don’t tell
you just found out?” Shen Cheng chuckled.
“???”
Ade looked frustrated, they had already figured it out?
Why hadn’t anyone told him?
Was he being treated as an outsider?
“No, when did you figure it out? I just found out about it.”
Ruan i and Shen Cheng started laughing, “Oh, guys are just too slow, how else could we have seen it? Every ti Wu Jie looks at Tang Su, his gaze is very intense. You wouldn’t understand, you pure and single dog.”
Ade touched his nose, “The way you say it, it’s as though you two aren’t pure and single dogs.”
“We’re not, who hasn’t dated in college?” Shen Cheng and Ruan i laughed even more at Ade’s comnt.
Ade, who hadn’t gone to college: “…”
Is going to college just for dating?
If that’s the case, not going to college isn’t bad either.

anwhile, after Tang Su finished paying and returned, she found only Wu Jie sitting there; Ade and the other two were gone.
“Where are they? Did they all go to the bathroom together as a squad?”
“No, I asked them to go back to open the shop. Tang Su, have a seat, I have sothing to tell you.”
“… Oh.”
Tang Su hesitated for a mont, then sat opposite Wu Jie.
She was putting her phone in her bag when she accidentally touched the call button. Since the last call was to Lu Han, it dialed Lu Han.
Lu Han had just arrived ho and finished lunch as well, heading back to his room to rest.
He had just picked up his howear, ready to take a bath and then a nap, when the phone rang. It was Tang Su calling.
Lu Han smiled and answered the call.
“Hello, Tang Su…”
Noticing Tang Su didn’t respond, Lu Han thought that she must have touched the phone by accident. Just when he was about to hang up after waiting for a while, he heard Tang Su’s voice, “Wu Jie, what on earth do you want to tell ?”
“Tang Su, I like you.”
Lu Han: “…”
Lu Han unconsciously gripped his phone tighter. He knew these three days away would give others an opportunity.
He thought the only person who would want to seize this chance was Ye Sichen.
He hadn’t expected that Tang Su would have so many hidden admirers, too?
This girl was in high demand.
Lu Han couldn’t bring himself to hang up the phone; he wanted to hear how Tang Su would respond.
“I know you’ve just recently broken up with Ye Sichen, and to be with soone else so soon, you definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable, and you’re also worried about what others might say. I don’t want you to answer
right now. I just want you to know.”
“Tang Su, I like you, and I want to reserve a spot with you, so that when you next want to date, when you’ve sorted out your feelings, could you consider ?”
“Wu Jie, you’ve known
for a while now. Do you think I’m the kind of person that would worry about what people say?” Tang Su looked at Wu Jie, thinking that his confession would render her clueless, but in reality, it didn’t.
Wu Jie was a very impressive barista. Just like she told Ye Sichen, initially, she did put in a lot of effort to convince Wu Jie to agree to make coffee at her shop.
But that was purely appreciation for Wu Jie’s coffee-making skills.
Other than that, she regarded Wu Jie the sa as Ade and the others.
With no special feelings.
“So…”
“I can reply to you right now. I’m sorry, Wu Jie, but I can’t accept your feelings, because I already have soone I like.”
“You have soone you like? When did this happen? How co I didn’t know?”
“Of course you wouldn’t know, because I’ve liked him since I was sixteen, and when I was sixteen, we hadn’t even t yet.”
“…”
Sixteen?
Has Tang Su now reunited with the man she liked at sixteen?
“Who is he? Have I t him?”
“Yeah, he’s been to our coffee shop to buy coffee.” Tang Su nodded, thinking of Lu Han; her face grew rosy and warm.
“So, it’s not that my confession was too late, but that I t you, knew you, too late.” Wu Jie understood.
“Wu Jie, I’m sorry.”
“What’s there to be sorry for? To like or not like, that’s your right. You didn’t deceive , you were honest with , helped
to completely let go; you were helping .”
Wu Jie was very clear-headed.
But he still couldn’t help feeling deeply saddened.
If only ti could flow backwards, then he perhaps might wish to travel back to when Tang Su was sixteen and fairly compete with that man.
Unfortunately, there’s no ti-travel machine, and he was a whole eight years too late compared to that man.
Even if he bought a rocket now, he wouldn’t catch up.
“Tang Su, you should hire two more apprentices soon. When the ti cos, I’ll teach them all I know about making coffee. I still have three months.”
“What?” Tang Su was bewildered; she really didn’t understand what Wu Jie ant by that.
What does he an by ‘three months’?
Is it because he confessed to her and got rejected, so he doesn’t want to stay on the job?
He can’t be that petty, can he?
“Do as I say, and later when there’s a chance, I’ll tell you about my situation. I’m going to open the shop now.”
Tang Su: “…”

Tang Su was busy at the bookstore for a while in the afternoon, and around four o’clock, she received a call from Mrs. Ye.
“Su Su, it’s Auntie Wen Ai, you haven’t forgotten , have you?” Wen Ai’s tone was gentle.
“Um, no, hello Auntie Wen Ai,” Tang Su greeted Wen Ai politely and respectfully.
“Su Su, you don’t need to be so formal with , after all, we are going to be family, aren’t we?”
“Auntie Wen Ai, have you arrived in Hua City?” Tang Su knew so things were not suitable to be discussed over the phone. If Wen Ai was already in Hua City, she wouldn’t mind clarifying her current relationship with Ye Sichen in person.
“Not yet, I’ve just finished a eting and arrived at the airport. I’ll take the fastest flight there, probably arriving around eight. Su Su, if it’s convenient for you, can you go to the hospital and look after Sichen for ?”
“Can I?”
“Auntie Wen Ai, Ye Sichen’s condition isn’t that serious. The doctor only recomnded observation, and he doesn’t need much care. Don’t worry, when you arrive in Hua City, I can pick you up at the airport. We can discuss it in person then.”
“Su Su, did you have a fight with Sichen? What about? Did Sichen bully you? If that’s the case, you tell , and I’ll scold him for you.”
“Auntie, don’t worry too much. We had a bit of a disagreent, but it’s not a big problem. Besides, soone is looking after him at the hospital. I’ll pick you up at the airport later, okay?”
“Is Shen Tian at the hospital? Could it be that he mistreated you because of her?” Wen Ai was a smart person. She and her husband had adopted a laissez-faire approach with their youngest son, Ye Sichen, but she was not completely unaware of her son’s affairs.
They had an early romance in high school and didn’t break up even after going to college. It wasn’t until Shen Tian suddenly turned to develop her career in the entertainnt industry, resulting in their frequent separations, that they broke up.
Wen Ai was happy about their breakup.
Later, after Ye Sichen graduated from college, he adamantly refused to return to Haicheng to follow the life path they had planned for him, instead choosing a company that matched his major and becoming an IT guy.
Her son insisted on deciding his own life, and they, as parents, gave their advice. After failing to persuade him, they ultimately accepted his choices.
The thing that satisfied Wen Ai the most was Ye Sichen’s acquaintance with Tang Su, a girl she liked a lot for her composure, independence, and thoughtfulness.
A girl like Tang Su was far better than soone like Shen Tian, and they as parents were very satisfied with the idea of Tang Su marrying into the Ye family.
They had three children, including a set of twins, and Ye Sichen was the middle child and their youngest son.
His older brother and sister followed their parents’ arrangents and are now leaders in their respective fields. Ye Sichen, compared to his brother and sister, was a bit more rebellious.
Wen Ai thought it over; during the last parental eting, since Tang Su’s mother wanted her daughter to stay with them, they were willing to buy a house in Hua City for Ye Sichen and let the young couple settle there.
Due to their sincere attitude, Tang Su’s parents were very satisfied, which made them comfortable letting Tang Su continue her relationship with Ye Sichen.
Logically, with the relationship between the two youngsters being stable and both sets of parents’ approval, they should have registered for marriage by now.
But they had waited for a long ti and heard no good news from Ye Sichen about this.
Busy as they were, they had little ti to call Tang Su to check on her.
Tang Su was about to reply when Sun Qing pushed the door and ca in.
Tang Su said to Wen Ai, “Auntie Wen Ai, I’ve got visitors over here, so let’s talk later tonight. I’ll pick you up at the airport after a while.”
“No need, Su Su. You’re busy too. Let’s do this: when you’re done, we’ll get in touch over the phone, okay?”
“That works too. See you later, Auntie.”
“Mhm.”
