Huang Yaxi was speechless when asked the question.

She didn't know what was going on either.

Even though she knew about Lin Ye and Su Xi's relationship, she still felt incredibly upset when she heard Su Xi say those things.

"Just my sister?" she asked cautiously, calming herself down.

Lin nodded, "From childhood to adulthood, she has only ever treated me as an older brother. If we had even the slightest romantic relationship, she would never have married Young Master Zhou."

"Have you never regretted it?"

Now that we've brought this up, let's be frank and open about it tonight.

Although she seemed indifferent, she still harbored some resentment.

After all, Lin Ye's feelings for Su Xi were clear to her, both openly and secretly.

It's not just a simple matter of siblings.

"Regret what?" Lin asked, puzzled.

Huang Yaxi looked at him intently, "I regret not being honest with Su Xi sooner. I didn't seize the opportunity, which led to her turning around and throwing herself into Zhou Jingming's arms."

After these words were spoken, Lin fell silent for a long time.

He did regret it.

Mingming and Su Xi were the closest of friends since childhood.

Su Xi also relies on him a lot.

He even thought that it would be natural for the two of them to end up together.

But things didn't turn out as expected.

She became involved with Zhou Jingming.

The moment she told herself that she had gotten her marriage certificate.

His heart felt as if it had been cut apart and shattered into pieces.

As a result, he became listless and turned to alcohol to drown his sorrows.

But then so much happened, and he witnessed Su Xi and Zhou Jingming's relationship gradually mature.

During their conversation, Su Xi couldn't stop talking about Zhou Jingming.

Lin knew it at that moment.

He and Su Xi were destined never to be together.

Her heart had been with Zhou Jingming since childhood.

It's just that because of some misunderstandings, it was kept buried in my heart and not told openly.

It was only a matter of time before the two of them got involved.

Huang Yaxi's reappearance can be considered as finally resolving his inner conflict.

This led him to decide to let go, thus allowing Su Xi to find happiness.

When asked this question, Lin truthfully replied, "I have regretted it."

Huang Yaxi smiled bitterly, "You still can't let go of Su Xi in your heart, can you?"

"No matter how hard I try to get closer to you, I can never take Su Xi's place. She is everything to you, your life!"

A tear slid down Huang Yaxi's cheek.

That is indeed the case.

Even saying it aloud still makes my heart ache suffocate.

Su Xi arrived at that moment and overheard Huang Yaxi's words.

The foot that had stepped out was suddenly pulled back, and the person retreated to a corner.

Su Xi isn't stupid.

She knew about Lin Ye's feelings for her.

That's why she always emphasizes the identity of 'brother', wanting to tell Lin Ye that their relationship can only be limited to familial affection.

She dared not expose it.

She was afraid that her relationship with Lin Ye would change.

The two stood face to face, the atmosphere stiff and oppressive.

Huang Yaxi's soft sobs reached Su Xi's ears.

Lin remained silent for a long time.

Su Xi took a deep breath and was about to go out to explain when she suddenly heard Lin Ye say, "I hope she can be happy."

"So, how do you make her happy?" Huang Yaxi asked, tears welling in her eyes.

Lin also said, "I'll grant her and Jingming her wish."

Su Xi's heart felt as if it had been touched by a pair of hands.

It trembled violently.

so……

Has Lin Ye finally figured it out?

Huang Yaxi smiled through her tears, "Aye, since you've decided to let go, could you... give me a chance?"

She had liked him for many years.

I was deeply attracted to him at our first meeting.

Over the years, she has had her share of suitors, but she has always remained true to herself because she didn't want to settle.

She reserved the most important position for the man in front of her.

These years abroad.

She had also been keeping an eye on Lin Ye.

Upon learning that there were available positions for transfer to Kyoto, she agreed without hesitation.

She knew that too.

Lin Ye's true love is Su Xi.

So she kept waiting, waiting for the day when his heart would be empty.

But waiting to be loved is too painful.

Seeing Lin Ye being so careful and accommodating to Su Xi, Su Xi's heart was repeatedly broken.

She thought...

I never thought I'd ever get Lin Ye's forgiveness in this lifetime, but now he's suddenly telling me that.

he--

They decided to give up on Su Xi.

Huang Yaxi waited expectantly for Lin Ye's response.

As long as he gives her even the slightest response.

She has the courage to persevere.

"Ya Xi, I..." Lin Ye was struggling internally, and he knew her thoughts all too well.

But he already had someone else in his heart, and he was giving her another chance.

This is unfair to her.

"I'll give you time to think it over. You don't need to rush to respond." Huang Yaxi had just been looking forward to it, but now her heart was filled with panic.

She was afraid he would reject her.

She won't be able to handle it.

"I'm going to help Su Rou wash the dishes." After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry.

Lin watched her departing figure and sighed deeply.

Su Xi didn't go out immediately, but instead thought about how to help Huang Yaxi.

Judging from Lin Ye's attitude.

Huang Yaxi is bound to be badly hurt.

Lin Ye suddenly walked towards the backyard. Su Xi calmed herself down and pretended to bump into him by chance.

"Lin Ye, why aren't you with Ya Xi?"

She pretended not to know anything and deliberately brought up Huang Yaxi.

Lin also pointed to the hall, "Go help Su Rou clean up."

"She's such a kind woman. Whoever marries her will be happy for the rest of their life," Su Xi said.

Lin also agreed, "Yes, she deserves everyone's love."

"And what about you?"

Seeing that the time was right, Su Xi got down to business.

Lin was slightly taken aback.

This wasn't the first time Su Xi had tried to match him up with Huang Yaxi.

At first, I will feel sad and upset.

I thought he would gradually get used to it over time.

Even after experiencing it so many times, his heart still felt as if it had fallen into a cold river.

"Do you want me to like her?" Lin asked back.

Su Xi laughed and said, "Of course! You're my brother, so I have to care about your life's important matters! No matter how important a man's career is, he still needs to settle down and start a family. You can't just focus on work and not find me a sister-in-law."

"Ya Xi is a good woman, and she's your classmate and a doctor. You two are such a perfect match."

Su Xi kept praising Huang Yaxi.

Lin also stood still in the same place.

She gave a bitter laugh. "You really want me to be with Ya Xi?"

"Give it a try, maybe you'll find it's a good match," Su Xi advised. "Whether two people are compatible or not depends on getting to know each other better, but I believe no one is more suitable for you than Ya Xi."

"good."

Lin also hesitated.

Su Xi exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! I'm finally going to have a sister-in-law!"

Lin Ye noticed her joy and couldn't help but smile.

He laughed.

"Xi'er, you must be happy!"
