"Alright, let it go." Song Ziwei leaned over and whispered into her ear.
"I say, you can still contact each other in the future. Besides, there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women, silly.”He looked at Su Yanle, who was squatting on the ground. His tone was gentle, and he wanted to make it sound as relaxed as possible.
Su Yanle slowly stopped sobbing and looked up at him. Her eyes were red and swollen, but they were unusually bright.
She looked at him for a while and said something that made Song Ziwei fall silent.
"Didn't you say that there's no such thing as pure friendship? What about us? Friends?" she said.
Song Ziwei was speechless. He looked down at the ground and remained motionless. She stood up slowly, her gaze fixed on his face.
"Don't be so good to me in the future. What if you fall in love with me?”After she finished speaking, she bent down to pick up her bag from the ground, hailed a taxi that happened to be driving over, and got in.
"Sir, to Hanyang District." She told him her home address.
When she thought about it later, she felt a little pitiful. This was the only time she had been willful since she was forced into the Song family.
The car drove steadily on the road. In the past, she had traveled this familiar road countless times by various means of transportation. Now, he was like an old friend, making her feel a sense of comfort.
She forced herself to think about how she was going to explain it to her parents when she got back.
What reason should he use? She said that the day before her engagement, she suddenly felt so sad that she wanted to go back to her mother's house? What if they were suspicious and called the Song family?
There seemed to be thousands of questions in his mind, all of which were in a mess, but he could not find the answer. However, she really did not have the strength to think about it anymore. She simply leaned back against the back of the taxi and relaxed her entire body.
"Miss, wake up." She heard some sounds in a daze.
When she finally opened her eyes slowly, she saw the worried look on the taxi man's face.
"You're here, girl." The uncle smiled when he saw her open her eyes.
She turned to look out the window. It was indeed the building she was most familiar with.
"Thank you." She smiled, paid the money, and got out of the car.
She stood in front of her house, facing the small villa that she had lived in for more than ten years. He was finally going home. She walked to the door and entered the password.
"Who is it?" Someone probably heard the commotion at the door and walked out of the kitchen. She walked towards the entrance and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Mother Fu." Su Yanle looked at the gentle face full of wrinkles and couldn't help but feel emotional. His eyes were a little sour.
She restrained herself and walked forward calmly. On the other side, Mother Fu did not seem to have any intention of hiding her excitement as she jogged over to welcome him.
"Aiyo! Yan Le, Mother Fu missed you so much." Mother Fu came up and held her face. She looked at her again and again before remembering to call Father and Mother Su upstairs.
"President Su, Madam, come quickly. Yan Le is back!”After she shouted upstairs, she immediately heard the sound of people coming downstairs.
"Lele, I missed you so much.”Mother Su was the first to approach Su Yanle, pulling her over and stroking her hair.
Mr. Su also followed her.
"Yan Le, we're getting engaged the day after tomorrow. Do you miss your parents?”Father Su stood behind her and said with a smile on his face.
"Yes!" Su Yanle nodded heavily.
"Daddy and Mommy miss you too. Your mom misses you at home every day.”
"I miss you guys too." Su Yanle walked forward and threw herself into her father's arms.
"Alright, rest well at home today. Mother Fu has cleaned your room every day.”Mother Su said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother Fu." Su Yanle hugged Nanny Fu.
After being in their family for more than 20 years, Mother Fu had long become a part of the Su family. She seemed to be happier than Su Yanle's parents when she returned home.
"I'll go back to my room and tidy up my things first.”
"Okay, Lele, it's so late today. Let's rest first. Our family will have a good chat tomorrow.”Su Yanle nodded and turned to walk into the room.
Although she had not seen her family for a long time, she really just wanted to lie on her bed and close her eyes to rest. She did not want to think about anything else.
She was really too tired.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, she heard the sound of someone going upstairs. Her parents had probably returned upstairs as well. Su Yanle gently closed her eyes, trying to empty her mind. However, Song Ziwei's indescribable expression and Guo Yihuai's lonely look as he walked towards the stage kept appearing in front of his pitch-black eyes.
She opened her eyes.
As expected, it was not a good time to be alone.
She opened the door and walked down the stairs, ready to pour herself a glass of water. Mother Fu seemed to have finished what she was doing and was video chatting with her son who was working abroad. Her giggles kept coming from the room.
Su Yanle smiled. He didn't want to disturb her, so he went straight to the kitchen, found his own cup, and made a packet of wheat tea.
When she went upstairs again, she passed by her parents 'room. The door was not closed. Her mother was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, flipping through a magazine. Her father did not seem to be in the room. She did not know where he had gone.
She thought for a moment and did not walk in. Instead, she walked towards her room.
"Yes, yes. I'm sorry to call you so late.”As she walked to the corner of the corridor, she heard her father's voice coming from the balcony. It sounded like he was on the phone.
Su Yanle stopped at the door and listened quietly.
"Your mother is applying a facial mask. Okay, okay... Oh, there's no need to call her. It's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask, are you and Yan Le doing well?”His father seemed to have deliberately lowered his voice.
Su Yanle immediately understood who was on the other end of the phone.
Perhaps because he had suddenly returned home, he called the Song family worriedly and was picked up by Song Ziwei. She suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her hands that were holding the tea trembled slightly. It turned out that it was not normal for her to return to her own home.
"Ah, it's good that she's fine. I'm just a little worried that she suddenly came home before the engagement. It's good that you're fine. You should rest early too.”Song Ziwei said something, and Father Su seemed to be relieved. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Phew." She heard her father let out a long sigh after he hung up the phone. Then, she heard footsteps coming over.
Su Yanle quickly retreated into the room and gently closed the door. Leaning against the wardrobe, she stood there in a daze for a long time and bit her lips hard.
She really regretted saying those words to Song Ziwei. How should she face him now?
.........
Su Yanle finally calmed down and lay down on the bed. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a soft knock on the door.
"Le 'er." She turned around and saw her mother carefully opening the door a crack. She stuck her head in and smiled at her.
"You're not asleep yet, right? Do you want to talk to Mommy?”Su Yanle nodded.
Mother Su walked in and closed the door behind her.
"Your father fell asleep just now. I wanted to have a good chat with you tomorrow, but I couldn't help but come over.”
"I know. You miss me so much.”Su Yanle revealed a playful smile.
Mother Su also smiled and reached out to rub her head heavily. "Mom misses you very much. Actually, the person who sent you to the Song family like this was Mom.”
Mother Su looked at her, her eyes so gentle that they could melt. "When your father wanted to agree to the marriage alliance proposed by the Song family, I was originally against it. However, I also understand that sometimes, business matters are really not up to anyone. Although your father tried his best to convince me from the beginning, I know that he was actually hesitant himself. After all, you are his precious daughter. After that, your father went to see your mother-in-law and Ziwei. He had really taken a fancy to him at first glance. After he returned, he had really praised him in all sorts of ways.”
Her mother smiled and continued. "Your father said that he looks like a talented person and is quite upright. He doesn't look like a spoiled rich young master. When your father came back, he told me that even without this marriage, he would probably like Ziwei very much and hope that he would be his son-in-law. However, without this marriage, we probably wouldn't be a match for the Song family.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Yanle's expression. Fortunately, she seemed to be quite peaceful. She leaned against the back of the bed quietly and did not say anything.
Mother Su continued.
"Your father has a good eye. I've been with him for so many years, but I've never seen him misjudge anyone. But even though I'm quite satisfied with Ziwei, I was still worried that you two didn't have any emotional foundation and would be awkward together. But look, everyone says that you two are not an ordinary match.”
Mother Su finished her sentence in one breath. She seemed to heave a small sigh of relief and turned to look at Su Yanle.
"Le 'er, are you blaming Daddy and Mommy?”Hearing her words, Su Yanle quickly leaned over and leaned on her shoulder.
"No, why would I blame you?”she said softly.
She found it strange that this marriage, which was inexplicably decided by the parents of both parties, seemed to have ruined her life and all her plans for the future.
However, she could not blame her parents.
She didn't have any resentment towards the Song family. Things had turned out like this. There was probably no right or wrong. It was all fate.
She always thought so.
