Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The light of the diamond ring flickered in the sunlight, stinging Su An's eyes a little, making her feel as if she was dreaming.
"An An."
Lu Ziting's voice brought Su An back to reality.
She suddenly came back to her senses and was caught off guard by the other person's eyes full of sincerity.
"An An, my doing this may be a bit abrupt and may surprise you, but first of all, I want to tell you that this is not an impulsive decision, but the result of my careful consideration."
Lu Ziting spoke slowly, and his tone gradually became relaxed from the initial tension.
"I……"
Su An opened his mouth and finally found his voice.
Lu Ziting shook his head.
"Just listen to me first, okay?"
He smiled the same gentle smile that always made Su An feel at ease.
Then he continued to talk.
"I know you heard what my father said, so you decided to leave, but from the first day I married your cousin, I have been telling you that you are the only one I love and the only one I want to marry."
"I want to give you a stable life, I want to see you every morning when I wake up, I want to take care of your food, clothing, and daily life, make you happy every day, and become the person you can rely on for the rest of your life, so..."
He paused for a moment, pushed the ring in his hand forward again, and looked at her expectantly.
"Will you give me this chance?"
Every word Lu Ziting spoke was sincere and passionate, hitting Su An's heart hard.
It even pierced Gu Jingchen's heart several times, causing him so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
An An...will you agree?
No……
Don't promise...
He doesn't want to lose An An just like that!
An impulse urged Gu Jingchen to leave now.
But he still stood there, waiting for Su An's response in a self-torturing manner.
The next second——
"Senior, I..."
Su An finally responded, his voice trembling a little. Jian Chen was so moved that he didn't know what to do.
The future he described was so beautiful...
The beauty of it made her heart waver uncontrollably for a moment.
After losing all her loved ones, she can still have such a happy life...
There is another person in this world who loves him so much.
Don't want her to be alone.
Can……
Su An clenched his fist slightly, and his fingertips gently pricked his palm.
It also made her wake up in an instant.
No, she couldn't implicate her senior.
He is different from her after all.
The senior's family happiness and relationship with his family are all in jeopardy. He shouldn't do this for her...
Su An took a deep breath, and finally looked away, saying cruelly, "I'm sorry, senior, I..."
"An An!"
Hearing her refusal, Lu Ziting panicked.
Knowing what she was worried about, he said hurriedly, "I know you still have concerns about my father, but An An, you don't have to worry about anything. Leave everything to me."
Su An didn't say anything.
Of course she knew that she could just throw everything to him and let him fight and argue with his family in order to marry her.
But she couldn't do it.
Su An shook her head gently, still refusing, and did not reach out to take the ring.
Lu Ziting looked even more anxious.
"An An, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life. I didn't make this impulsive decision just because I was angry with my family!"
"You know, I didn't rely on my family's background to get a job, but chose a career I like. Because of this, I have the confidence to tell you that even without a family, I can still take care of you!"
"As long as you're willing to be with me, I'll be with you wherever you want to go. In this world, what father doesn't want his children to live a happy life? As time goes by, they'll naturally figure it out and discover your love..."
"Senior!"
When Su An heard that he actually had such an idea, he hurriedly stopped him.
The senior actually wanted to take her away from home?
Of course not!
His father will definitely be angry and sad. Even if he really accepts her in the future, this matter will be a hurdle that they cannot overcome in their hearts.
and……
Mrs. Lu is obviously a person with a bad temper. What if she refuses to accept it no matter what?
If it was really because of her that their relationship broke up, wouldn't she be guilty?
She knew too well what it felt like to not have her loved ones around...
So we must not let seniors fall into this situation!
This is irresponsible to him!
But...she also truly felt the love that her senior had for her.
Now, if I want him to give up, there is probably only one way...
Su An closed his eyes slightly.
When he broke free again, there was only determination in his eyes.
"Senior."
Her voice was no longer uncertain, and even deliberately had a hint of coldness.
"There's something I didn't have time to tell you before. Gu Jingchen's grandfather is sick."
Lu Ziting's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, as if he realized something.
Su An avoided the disbelief in his eyes and forced himself to continue speaking.
"Grandpa is my only concern for the Gu family, and he's the person who loves me the most. He's not in good condition right now. His only wish is for me to be with Gu Jingchen. I'm... thinking about this right now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before."
"An An, you..."
Lu Ziting had guessed something a long time ago, but when he heard her say it herself, he was still so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Behind the tree——
Gu Jingchen's face, which was full of decadence and frustration, suddenly brightened up, and he almost couldn't help but stand up!
What did An An say just now?
Not only did she reject Lu Ziting's proposal, she also said she was considering getting back together with him?
Did he hear it right?
Gu Jingchen's face was full of disbelief.
Then I heard——
"I'm sorry, senior, you...go back first. I'm sorry for you."
Su An didn't want to say anything more. He turned his head away and stopped looking at Lu Ziting in front of him, resisting the urge to help him up.
A moment later——
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Ziting stand up.
"An An."
He looked at the ring in his hand with regret, but there was no anger in his tone of voice. Instead, he was still worried about her.
"You can reject my proposal, and I won't give up. I will try my best to give you an answer that satisfies both you and your father. But regarding Gu Jingchen... I hope you won't make the same mistake again. There are many ways to repay Grandpa Gu, but you can't..."
"Senior."
Su An suddenly interrupted him.
The tip of her nose felt sore and tears were about to gather in her eyes. She never thought that at this moment, he would still be thinking about her.
Not wanting to reveal her emotions, she whispered again, "Let's go back."
Lu Ziting was silent.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally turned and left without saying another word. His tall and straight figure was almost swallowed up by the overwhelming loneliness.
Su An finally dared to look back at his back, and the lake of his heart that had been stirred up with great difficulty gradually returned to silence again.
Only after watching Lu Ziting's back disappear did she turn around and plan to go home.
But I didn’t expect that the next second——
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw another familiar figure coming towards him!
Su An paused.
Without even turning around to confirm, he recognized the person as Gu Jingchen.
What is he here for? ŴŴŴ.
