The security guard didn't say anything more and returned to his post.

Then Su Yuan just waited at the door.

In the park, passersby couldn't help but glance at Su Yuan a few times.

Such a refined and well-dressed man was sitting at the doorway.

He always carries a book with him and is always reading it.

Li Xia finally couldn't take it anymore and came down half an hour early.

She didn't want anyone to see a man waiting for her.

When Su Yuan stood in front of her, he looked up and saw Li Xia. He immediately covered his hands with his hands and stood up.

He looked at her coldly.

Li Xia didn't want to talk, but she felt very uncomfortable with so many things stuck in her heart. She was angry and annoyed!

Su Yuan bowed slightly to the security guard and followed him directly out of the park.

He followed behind Li Xia, keeping his eyes fixed on her the whole time.

The two people entered a restaurant, and a waiter came over and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Li Xia took the menu and handed it to Su Yuan without saying a word.

"I'll eat whatever you eat." Su Yuan didn't dare to order for himself at all.

Li Xia glanced at the menu, looked up, and said, "I'd like spicy chicken, scrambled fish head, spicy beef, two bowls of rice, and a vegetable soup. Thank you."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Li Xia poured herself a glass of water without saying a word.

Su Yuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The food was served quickly, and Li Xia ate with great relish because she could handle spicy food, but Su Yuan couldn't.

He took a small bite of the spicy chicken and was already sweating from the spiciness. It took him several bites of rice before he realized what was happening.

None of the dishes here are to his liking; their flavors don't suit him at all.

Li Xia put down her chopsticks and said, "If you don't like this kind of food, go outside and turn right. There's a Western restaurant there. Someone like you who's been educated in the West should only be able to eat there."

After finishing her meal, Li Xia didn't look at him and continued eating with her head down.

Su Yuan was unconvinced by what Li Xia said, but he forced himself to eat several more bites of the extremely spicy food.

Li Xia finally put down her chopsticks and looked at Su Yuan, saying, "We have different tastes and different lifestyles, so it's hard for us to live together. You once said that there's no need to hurt your body like this."

In the end, Li Xia was defeated; it was better to make some things clear.

It's truly impossible between them.

Perhaps they both liked each other, but since they can't be together now, there's no need to make things ugly.

“I can change it.” Su Yuan looked at Li Xia and said seriously, “I’ve thought it through very clearly. I’ve been living abroad all these years, and I can also live in China. As long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter where we are.”

Previously, it was because he didn't have the ability to take good care of Li Xia, because he was labeled by those people.

Things are different now. He is no longer affected by his family background and can provide Li Xia with a better life.

Li Xia's eyes flickered, but she did not respond to the topic.

“We’re not right for each other anymore. It was because I was young and immature! You don’t need to take it to heart.” Li Xia didn’t give up on this love out of hatred, but because she could clearly feel that the two of them were not suitable for each other.

Su Yuan had been writing to her all these years, but in order to prevent the two of them from having any contact, she had never picked up those letters.

"Li Xia, I love you. Let's start anew, okay?" Su Yuan got straight to the point, the security guard's words making him realize something.

No one can stay in the same place forever; he couldn't afford to miss Li Xia again.

Li Xia said, "We come from different backgrounds, so no matter how hard I try, I can't get to your side."

“I can come to you, Li Xia. My mother agreed to us being together before she passed away, and no one can stop me now. She really didn’t know that she went to see you and said those hurtful things to you.”

Su Yuan only learned that his mother had gone to see Li Xia before she passed away.

Li Xia was stunned for a moment.

Actually, the things Su Yuan's mother said to her weren't meant to hurt her, but rather to help her start a new life.

Su Yuan was a learned and ambitious man who dedicated his life to serving his country.

However, because of that knowledge, he was unable to protect himself or his loved ones.

Su's mother's words made her understand Li Suyuan's situation. Over the years, he had been living under oppression and harm, yet he was still trying to live.

At that moment, she realized that Su Yuan also cared about Li Xia, but he was just trying to protect her from harm.

Su Yuan believed that his mother must have hurt Li Xia to make her reject him.

“Aunt Su didn’t force me not to love you, she just told me about your situation, told me that we’re not suitable for each other,” Li Xia said calmly.

"But now I have the ability to protect you, and I want to be with you."

"But I don't want to."

Li Xia refused, speaking earnestly and firmly.

Su Yuan desperately suppressed his breathing and the piercing pain in his heart; he refused to believe this outcome.

Yet it seemed as if they had already sensed the outcome here.

He has already missed one opportunity; some damage has already been done and is destined to be irreparable.

He rejected the eighteen-year-old girl who loved him with overflowing affection.

A few words pierced her heart deeply, taking away her love as well.

Su Yuan: "..." I want to ask why!

What good will asking do?

His eyes reddened, but he forced a smile and nodded helplessly.

He lowered his head in shame and resentment.

“Su Yuan, your self-righteous 'for my own good' has caused me so much pain for so many years. Why do you think I can't suffer with you? For you, I worked hard to learn foreign languages ​​and learn more things I didn't know. I'm not afraid of death, but the Li Xia who loved you has already been killed by you.”

She was mentally prepared to face the future with him.

But he didn't give her that chance.

Li Xia picked up her belongings, went to the front desk, paid, and left.

Su Yuan stood there, stunned and at a loss.

Is this really how it ends? I'm not reconciled.

Su Yuan mustered his courage and chased after him.

"Li Xia, I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, just give me another chance." Su Yuan grabbed Li Xia, disregarding all sense of propriety and shame.

All I know is that if we part ways this time, we'll never have another chance to meet, and we'll truly miss each other.

“Li Xia, I think about you every moment. I know that my cruelty hurt you. But I just couldn’t face my own incompetence. It was my cowardice that made you sad and disappointed. I was really wrong.”

Su Yuan's tears streamed down her face.

I just want to keep Li Xia here.

Li Xia lowered her head and tried to break free from Su Yuan's hand.

Split each finger apart.

"No!" Su Yuan shook his head; he did not accept this outcome.

He held Li Xia tightly and said, "I won't let go of you. This time, I will die, or I will not let you go."

"Let her go." Li Shuan, who was out shopping, saw someone holding onto his sister and refusing to let go. He knew she was being harassed, so he punched her.

"Brother, Su Yuan." Li Xia was shocked to see Su Yuan being punched.
