I was just about to read a book when I heard a knock on the door.
I put down the book I had just picked up and left the room.
She saw Qiao Yu waiting for her at the courtyard gate, carrying an oil paper package.
Qiao Yu and Zhao Liang are both sensible people. Unless it's something important, they generally won't bother her in the backyard.
Even when they arrived, they would simply stand at the gate, knock on the door, and wait. Liu Meiling was quite satisfied with this.
"Brother Qiao Yu, is there something you need?"
He didn't say anything when she was in the front yard, which means it's something he doesn't want others to know.
Qiao Yu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and his ears quietly turned red.
He turned his head away, not daring to look directly at her, and simply raised his hand, handing over the oil paper package in his hand.
"This... is from my family. It's homemade by my mom. It's delicious white sugar cake... Here, have some..."
Qiao Yu's heart was pounding, he was extremely nervous, afraid that she would refuse.
He was very good at reading people and observing their expressions, which was why his family and that person sent him to take care of Bai Yunshu.
Therefore, after realizing that he had developed feelings for Liu Meiling and wanted to spend his life with her, he discovered that she had someone else in her heart.
And through his daily observations, he also learned who that person was.
But it was also his meticulousness that made him very aware that the two of them were impossible. In Bai Yunshu's heart, career, ideals, and family were more important than anything else. He had no intention of getting married, at least not in the near future.
Liu Meiling herself was also aware of this, and she was trying her best to forget Bai Yunshu and get over this hopeless unrequited love on her own.
He waited silently by her side, waiting for her to clear her heart and be able to accept other people again.
He sensed the change in Liu Meiling as soon as she returned.
The open-mindedness and clarity she possessed were unlike anything she had seen before.
So he decided to start pursuing her and gradually get her to accept him.
I just don't know if she'll give me a chance...
Liu Meiling stared blankly at the pastries he handed her.
She wasn't unaware of Qiao Yu's attitude towards her, but she had never considered developing a relationship with him.
She lowered her head and did not take it.
"Brother Qiao Yu, I... I don't have any plans to date right now."
At least not now. She has just figured it out and now all she wants is to live a good life and be happy.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu felt down for a moment, but quickly cheered up again.
"It's okay, I know. Don't feel burdened. Let's continue to get along like before. I, I will continue to treat you well. If you ever want to date or get married, could you consider me first?"
He's waited so long, he doesn't mind waiting a few more years.
Liu Meiling is the first person he wants to spend his life with, and he is willing to wait.
"Brother Qiao Yu..."
Qiao Yu is a very good person. Although he is sometimes a bit vain, he is otherwise a very good person.
But she really doesn't have that thought right now...
She had barely started when she was stopped by the other party.
Qiao Yu was afraid that she would say something that firmly refused.
He stuffed the white sugar cake in his hand into hers and said, "Don't rush to reject me. You have plenty of time to get to know me and enough time to think about the future."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
