Love You Till the End-Chapter 1037: Can You Accompany Me for a Walk Tomorrow?
Moreover, feelings are just speculation. From childhood to adulthood, she had very little contact with men, so she couldn’t possibly grasp their inner thoughts. Was Shi Aoju truly fond of her or just momentarily interested? She couldn’t tell at all.
So avoiding him was the best way to protect herself.
Quan Xin didn’t make things difficult for her, nor did she nitpick anymore, as if the arrogance when she first arrived was merely a show of authority to the servants.
Yet she still had an overbearing demeanor. Su Jiuyi didn’t go to the dining room, so the chances of them meeting decreased a lot.
That evening, Su Jiuyi, like usual, wandered around the small flower bed she managed, enjoying the moonlight while texting Ye Han about the interesting happenings of the past few days.
The two of them got along as simply as old friends would.
When she walked next to the grapevine, she suddenly heard rustling sounds from the other side of the flower trellis, as if someone was speaking.
At this moment, the thick fog in the night sky dispersed, the moonlight broke through the darkness and shone down. In the hazy light, Su Jiuyi clearly saw the figure of the person opposite her.
Quan Xin was standing beside Shi Aoju, her arm entwining his, standing very close and intimate.
The night was too dark, Su Jiuyi couldn’t see Shi Aoju’s facial expression, but she could imagine it, surely a gentleness she had never seen before.
The notification light on the phone in Su Jiuyi’s hand suddenly lit up, but she had no mind to pay attention to Ye Han’s messages.
The scene before her eyes felt like a giant stone, pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She couldn’t even remember how she returned to her room.
Sitting on the bed hugging her knees, burying her face deep into them, she felt as if she was back in the Su Family, her whole body cold and devoid of any sense of security.
A suffocating discomfort flooded her heart, she only felt the blood in her entire body rushing to her brain, with a scorching heat around her eyes.
Perhaps waiting a long time without receiving a reply, Ye Han directly called her.
The pleasant ringtone sounded in her ear, Su Jiuyi lifted her face and instinctively searched for her phone on the bed.
Just now she had told Ye Han she would stay in the yard for a while but forgot to reply to his messages. At this moment, Ye Han’s concern gave her a bit of warmth.
"Hello." As soon as she spoke, Su Jiuyi realized her voice was tinged with a sob.
"What’s wrong?" The person on the other end clearly discerned the oddness in her tone and asked with concern.
She remained silent for a long time without speaking, only leaving uneven breaths in the receiver. Ye Han didn’t urge her to respond, guessing her mood wasn’t good.
After a long time had passed, Su Jiuyi finally spoke: "Can you accompany me for a walk tomorrow?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Of course, I happen to be free tomorrow." A cheerful laugh sounded from the other end.
"Thank you, let’s talk again tomorrow morning. I’m a bit tired and want to sleep now."
After hanging up the phone, Su Jiuyi patted her cheeks, forcibly holding back the tears threatening to overflow from her eyes. She grabbed the pajamas from the hanger and walked towards the bathroom.
She didn’t know if this could be considered a heartbreak, but she knew she couldn’t be defeated by someone like Shi Aoju. After all, they never really had anything to begin with.
Ye Han, after hanging up the phone, stood in silent contemplation before the floor-to-ceiling window. The city’s night view was beautiful, but his mind was clearly not on the bustling cityscape; instead, it had already drifted to Su Jiuyi.
