Is it too late for me to fall for her?
Xiao Su had never thought of that.
Time had silently slipped through his fingers. After so many years, he hadn’t even confessed to her.
He thought that he would always have a chance, but he didn’t expect that before he could make his feelings clear, she had already fallen head over heels for someone else.
Right now, even when she teased him, she didn’t look shy or nervous at all.
Though Xiao Su didn’t really understand women, he knew about the basics.
He knew that most women would feel shy while facing those they liked. However, when she faced him now, there was no trace of shyness to be found.
Right now…
Xiao Su’s face fell. He pursed his lips without saying another word, and his entire vibe seemed to change. Before this, Yan thought that he was just a simple and pure man, and that he would blush if she spoke more to him.
However, now she suddenly felt that he was not a human anymore. Instead, he looked like a pool of dead water without any vitality.
On top of that, he even made her feel quite cold.
What… is going on?
Yan had clearly felt the change in him, so she bit her lips subconsciously. Did my words anger him?
“Hey, about what I said just now… I meant no harm. I didn’t mean to tease you. But you suddenly leaned so closely to me, so of course I will misunderstand you.”
Xiao Su raised his head and smiled at her slightly.
“I’m sorry. It was my fault. Since your fever has gone down, I shan’t disturb you anymore.”
With that, he turned around to leave the kitchen. When Yan realized his actions, she thought to herself, He seems to be?
Something’s not right…
Why would he need to escape as if something is chasing after him? I just teased him for a bit, yet he already became so terrifying. On top of that, I didn’t mean to tease him. He is the one who leaned close to me first.
Thinking about the close contact just now, Yan’s heart pounded quickly.
She shook her head as her body gave a jolt.
Xiao Su, you b*stard. Why did you suddenly get closer to me? We are just normal friends, yet you suddenly do this. When we meet again in the future, would it be very awkward?
After thinking about it, Yan suddenly felt that it was nothing. Since he had already done this, if he didn’t feel that it was awkward, she had no reason to feel that way either.
After Xiao Su came out of the kitchen, he decided to head back to his hotel. After making sure that Yan was fine, he had calmed down.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly ran into Han Qing who just came out of his room.
Thinking about Yan, Xiao Su couldn’t help but shoot an extra glance at Han Qing.
He was an upper-class man, and the vibe he was giving off could not be compared to ordinary people. He was quite good looking with a sharp edge within him that shone through. Apart from that, his eyes exuded calmness, and he was the backbone behind the entire Han Group.
As a man, even Xiao Su thought that Han Qing was an excellent man.
Let alone a woman.
Hence, it was reasonable that Yan would fall for him.
Looking back at himself, he was just a lowly assistant without any amazing qualities to flaunt. On top of that, he had a scar on his face. For someone without any additional talents, he had nothing to compete with Han Qing.
He didn’t even have the right to be Han Qing’s rival.
Thinking of this, Xiao Su mocked at himself internally before retracting his gaze as he walked outside.
Han Qing realized that someone was looking at him when he was about to walk into the kitchen. When Xiao Su retracted his gaze, Han Qing stopped to look at the slim yet powerful figure.
He… came from the kitchen just now.
The kitchen…
Han Qing pursed his lips and regained his composure as he walked into the kitchen.
Yan had finally finished washing the rice. Just when she had pulled herself together, she saw Han Qing entering the kitchen. Her energetic expression suddenly changed to one of shock, and she didn’t even dare to look at him.
She saw a few tomatoes on the table, so she quickly washed them and prepared to cut them.
Yup. If I focus on doing my own stuff, I wouldn’t notice him anymore.
She took a knife and cut the tomatoes into halves, then further cut them into thin slices.
Just then, she heard Han Qing pouring water beside her, and her thoughts drifted away.
Actually, she was being too wilful yesterday.
Han Qing had already rejected her clearly. Naturally, he didn’t wish for his sister to misunderstand that something was going on between them, so it was quite reasonable for him to ask her to remove the jacket and buy another one.
However, Yan felt aggrieved about it. Why does he treat me like this? I’m a woman!
Because of that, she threw a tantrum and asked the shop assistant to return the jacket to Han Qing without going out to see him, and she also asked him to leave earlier.
She only had one thought at that time—if she made a scene, Han Qing would probably feel sorry for her and would try to coax her. After all, when he took off his jacket to give to her, he probably cared about her.
However, she had underestimated him.
This person was Han Qing after all. It was quite impossible that he would coax her because of the little tantrum that she threw.
It was quite foolish of her to do that with such thoughts yesterday.
Right now, Yan felt quite remorseful. If she knew this earlier, she wouldn’t have done that and would have just bought the clothes obediently. After that, she would offer to hold the clothes for him and say some nice words, and they would have some alone time after they reached home.
Yan realized that she had to change her tactics. Acting sweet and clinging to Han Qing were clearly useless.
However, it seemed that if she suffered a little, Han Qing would frown and shoot her an extra glance.
Yesterday, Han Qing was concerned after seeing that she was wearing very little.
If she changed her tactics and looked pitiful, would their relationship develop more smoothly?
When she was thinking about that, Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain on her fingers. Before her brain could process it, her body reacted immediately and she exclaimed out loud.
At that moment, Han Qing was drinking water. When he heard her exclamation, he turned to look at her.
He saw that Yan had accidentally cut her fingers. Blood was oozing out of the wounds, mixing together with the red tomato juice.
Upon seeing that, Han Qing put down his glass immediately before walking over to her and taking her hand. Then, he pulled her to the tap and washed her wounds clean with running water. “Are there any band-aids?”
When she heard the question in his cold voice, Yan nodded blankly. “Probably.”
Probably?
Han Qing frowned. “Wait here.”
After Han Qing had walked out of the kitchen, Yan was still standing by the sink and holding her wounded hand. As she thought about the close contact with Han Qing just now, a sweet feeling gradually took over her.
She had been thinking about changing tactics to make herself look more pitiful, but she never expected that God would help her this quickly.
She actually managed to cut herself accidentally while Han Qing was there.
Indeed, men like him would only come forward after seeing that others were hurt or that they needed help.
Although she was in pain, Yan didn’t feel upset at all. Instead, she blinked and smiled.
I seem to have understood… the proper way of pursuing Han Qing.
