My Youth Began With Him

“It’s not that I didn’t want to, I swear! I tried helping you, but your mommy was so scary, she didn’t even give me a chance.”

“You didn’t have to say anything.”

“How else am I supposed to help you?”

“Next time, find someone else to save us.”

“Like?” Lu Yan asked Little Bean curiously.

“You can’t ask Handsome Su. Mommy never listens to him because she thinks he spoils us too much.”

“So, should I call your daddy?” Lu Yan laughed.

“No, Daddy’s head-over-heels when it comes to Mommy. He’s always on her side and never helps us.”

“So who should I ask?”

“You can ask Auntie Lingling or Xiaowei, their words mean a lot to Mommy,” Little Bean suggested.

“Why don’t you just ask Auntie to ask Gao Boyuan to help you?” Pudding stared at her sister.

“Oh I see, you want your boyfriend to help you…” Lu Yan teased Little Bean.

“He’s not my boyfriend, Auntie, he’s just one of the candidates. I have to keep my options open.”

“Little Bean, I’m glad that you know to keep your options open at such a young age.”

“What about you, Auntie? Have you ever been in love with someone else other than Qiao Fei?” Little Bean gossiped.

“Ahem, I never said I was in love with Qiao Fei. He’s the one who’s in love with me,” Lu Yan denied immediately.

“I don’t believe you, you’re the same as Auntie Qin. She’s always saying that she doesn’t like Uncle Tang, but they’re obviously dating. Grownups are always in denial.”

Lu Yan: “…”

“Auntie, ignore her, she’s a big gossip. Can you take a look at this stock for me?” Pudding picked up her tablet and walked over Lu Yan.

“You guys suck. I’ll just go video-chat Boyuan then.” Little Bean turned around and began playing with her phone.

– Su Yu’s private mansion –

Su Yu and An were hanging by the pool while Zeng Rou applied a face mask on herself in Su Yu’s living room. It seems like they were all used to each others’ presence and didn’t interfere with each others’ lives.

“President Su, is Miss Zeng going to live here forever?”

“That depends on her. She can stay and go as she wishes.”

“But I don’t think she wants to go, especially after you gave her those shoes today.”

“Ahem… giving the gift of shoes means you want her to run away, no?” Su Yu demanded as he thought of what Huo Mian had told him earlier today.

“Okay I lose,” An was speechless. “President Su, I have a question.”

“Shoot.”

“What does it feel like to really fall for someone?” An asked curiously.

“What the f*ck, why are men like us talking about something like this?” Su Yu got goosebumps.

“It was just a question, you know I don’t have much experience in that department. After I was discharged, I dated a few women who seemed fine at first, but quickly turned into someone else. I guess I didn’t really like them because if I did, I would want to see them every day, right?”

“Mhm, you’re right about that at least. You would want to see her every day.” Su Yu suddenly thought of Huo Mian.

“So that’s really the case…” An mumbled to himself.

“Wait. An, tell me the truth, are you seeing someone again?” If not, why was An being so mysterious these days?
