Ming Ansheng's eyes swept past the pair of shoes in Su Yan's hand, and he pointed towards the exit. "Xin Yanting just left in her car," said Ming Ansheng in a soft voice.

He was about to go upstairs when he saw Xin Yanting exiting the elevator. And she was still wearing slippers.

Su Yan pressed his lips as he quietly studied Ming Ansheng.

Ming Ansheng noticed how Su Yan was looking at him and deduced that he knew everything.

"Yueyue…" he spluttered before stretching his hands to rub his face. He looked exhausted.

He peered at Su Yan again and said, "She isn't feeling well. Please spend more time with her."

He sounded so defeated and helpless.

He looked as though he was suppressing all his emotions.

He turned around and went back to his car. He stretched his hand to open the car door.

Su Yan's voice rang behind him. "Stop coming here to look for her. I haven't forgotten my grandmother's death, and I will never allow Su Yue to become the stepmother of your child."

His voice was like ice water being splashed on Ming Ansheng's heart.

He felt that all hope was gone.

The moment he was aware of the child's existence, he knew that everyone around them would object to their relationship. Everyone…

And he was right!

Although he was close friends with Yan Rusheng, an iron-clad fact didn't change. Xinyi had caused Grandmother Wang's death.

In fact, it was the reason they were unwilling to announce their relationship to the Yan family.

But now… even Su Yue did not want him anymore.

Ming Ansheng paused and remained silent for a while before getting into his car.

He pressed the ignition button and drove off.



Su Yue stayed at Su Yan's place for the next few days since she was feeling down. She didn't want to go to the Yan's.

The family was so happy and blissful there, and she didn't want to affect their mood.

She stayed at home and watched dramas or read novels the entire day. But most of the time, she would end up in a daze.

In the late afternoon, Su Yue was lying on the rocking chair with a novel. She raised her head.

Dazzling sunlight entered through the windows and it brought along some warmth. She repeatedly yawned and her eyelashes were damp with tears. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep.

The moment she closed her eyes, images of Ming Ansheng would appear.

Since that day, they didn't meet each other. He didn't even call her at all.

'I will never let go of your hand…'

'Yueyue, let's get married.'

Just not too long ago, he had just held her hand tightly and promised not to let her go.

They were so intimate days ago, and he even asked her to marry him.

"Ming Ansheng, you're a liar!" Su Yue grabbed the novel and flung it against the sealed windows.

Since the windows were made of reinforced glass, it didn't shatter.

The novel fell to the floor and Su Yue ignored it.

She rose, wiped her tears clumsily, and she walked to the liquor cabinet. She bent to open it.

Su Yan was a person who loved to indulge, and he paid particular attention to the tone and mood. He would always have bottles of wine with him.

When it was quiet and late at night, he would drink a glass or two and enjoy his favorite music.

Su Yue took out a bottle of red wine and uncorked it.

She slumped against the couch and gulped straight from the bottle.

She was too hasty that she wasn't able to gulp the wine in time. It leaked out from the corners of her mouth, and the same time, tears gushed from her eyes too.

They were together when they were 17 years old. They were forced to split up and now they even have a child.

Naturally, they would get back together.
