"You're welcome, come and try it." Xu Chengwei said with a smile.

Wang Yitong picked up her chopsticks, picked up a garlic oyster, and put it in her mouth. The garlic aroma and the delicious taste of the oyster meat spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Hmm, it's really delicious!"

Xu Chengwei was very happy to see Wang Yitong like the dishes he cooked. He continued to introduce other dishes to Wang Yitong. The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Wang Yitong took the initiative to help clean up the dishes, while Xu Chengwei watched her from the side, his heart filled with happiness.

"Tongtong, I'm really happy that you can come today." Xu Chengwei said.

"I'm very happy to be here too. Thank you for your invitation. Your cooking skills are amazing and it gave me a pleasant evening," said Wang Yitong.

"You're welcome. You can come anytime you have time in the future. I will make more delicious food for you." Xu Chengwei said.

Wang Yitong felt warm in her heart after hearing Xu Chengwei's words. She knew that Xu Chengwei was a very sincere person, and his kindness to her came from the heart.

"Cheng Wei, I am very lucky to know you." Wang Yitong said.

"Thank you for the compliment. I live alone, so I learned to cook by myself. I didn't expect it would come in handy today." Xu Chengwei said.

"Don't you feel lonely living alone?" Wang Yitong asked.

"Sometimes I feel lonely, but I'm used to it. I think living alone has its advantages. I can arrange my time and life freely," said Xu Chengwei.

"Yes, living alone has its advantages." Wang Yitong said.

"But after getting to know you, I found that it has added a lot of color. Especially after meeting your ex-boyfriend today, I was a little worried. I was afraid that you would get back together, but fortunately you didn't choose him in the end. Yitong, I wonder if you can give me a chance to pursue you? If you reject me, it only means that I haven't done it well enough and haven't made you trust me enough. Please believe me, I will always be by your side."

After hearing what Xu Chengwei said, Wang Yitong thought for a while and talked about the past. "All kinds of things happened between him and me. It is undeniable that both of us had our reasons, and we finally broke up. Now when I see him again, I still feel a little excited, but also a little sad and aggrieved. After I graduated, I met a new love at work, but the other party concealed the fact that he was married. After we separated, I found out that I was pregnant. In the end, I married another friend, but the child was miscarried. My ex-husband and I also had a huge gap in our family backgrounds. My ex-husband found someone more suitable for him, and we eventually divorced. I am very grateful that my ex-husband was by my side at that time.

So now I am both looking forward to and afraid of relationships. I am afraid that I will fall into the abyss again. Do you still like me like this?"

When Wang Yitong finished saying these words, tears still flowed from her eyes involuntarily.

Xu Chengwei took out a piece of paper and gently wiped away her tears. He held her hand, looked at Wang Yitong seriously, and said gently: "Tongtong, I'm sorry that you have experienced all this hurt and pain. I like you because you are an independent, strong and talented girl. Your past is not important. What is important is your present and future.

I've experienced setbacks in relationships before. As you know, when we met in Nanjing, I was back in China for a while. I met my first love abroad, and she was working there and didn't want to come back. We parted ways, and I respected her choice. Of course, I still felt sad when I was alone, but I didn't give up on pursuing love. I'm 33 years old now, and I know exactly what I want. My parents are also quite open-minded and respectful of me.

I also have the ability to handle risks, so don't be afraid, Tongtong. Let me accompany you to face the challenges and difficulties ahead. I will always be by your side, giving you strength and support."

After hearing Xu Chengwei's heartfelt words, Wang Yitong stopped crying, thought for a moment and said, "I still need to study in Shanghai for two years. If you can persevere during this time and stay true to your original aspiration, we can be together."

Xu Chengwei was filled with joy when he heard Wang Yitong's words. He said firmly, "We will be together. I will show you my sincerity."

Wang Yitong was moved by Xu Chengwei's words. She hadn't expected him to be so resolute in choosing her, especially after learning about her past. She knew she had been hurt before and was a little afraid of relationships, but Xu Chengwei's words made her feel warm and at ease.

In the evening, Xu Chengwei drove Wang Yitong home. In the car, both of them were silent, as if they were thinking about each other's words.

"Yitong, I know your past was not easy, but I want to tell you that everyone has their own past and we are not babies. I only care about your present and future." Xu Chengwei broke the silence.

"I'm too busy right now to have time for a relationship. I have to focus on my career first. Thank you for your help."

Xu Chengwei smiled and reached out to hold Wang Yitong's hand. "I believe you will be an excellent entrepreneur. Let's work hard together. I will always be by your side, supporting you and helping you."

Wang Yitong felt Xu Chengwei's warmth and was full of expectations. She knew that there was still a long way to go between her and Xu Chengwei, but she was willing to work hard with him.

After returning home, Wang Yitong lay in bed, reflecting on every detail of the night. She felt lucky to have met a sincere, kind, and responsible man like Xu Chengwei. She also knew she needed time to forget the pain of the past and start a new relationship.
