Chapter 320: It's Touching, Not Love
Su Man's heart was beating like a drum.
She couldn't help but admit that at this moment, in this situation, everything was beautiful.
The beach was nice, the moonlight was nice, the fireworks were nice, and it was also nice for the three of them to sit side by side.
It was as if God had arranged the right time and place for them.
But she just couldn't convince herself to make this "harmony" come true.
The inner struggle:
If she avoided it, the stable life she and Qiao Shiyan had built for Doudou would be shattered. This was something she didn't want to see.
If she didn't avoid it, it would mean that she accepted Qiao Shiyan, and the nature of their relationship would undergo a qualitative leap from then on, but she couldn't accept it.
perhaps……
For Doudou...
Can she try to accept Qiao Shiyan?
Su Man looked at Qiao Shiyan's face which was slowly getting bigger in front of her and forced herself to close her eyes.
The moment Qiao Shiyan's nose touched hers, Xiao Beisheng's face flashed through Su Man's mind.
She stepped back as if she had been electrocuted.
"Shi Yan...I'm sorry, I..."
She was like a frightened bird, her face panic-stricken and pitiful.
Qiao Shiyan had no heart to blame her, but he couldn't hide the loneliness and hurt on his face: "I should be the one to say sorry... I was too reckless."
Su Man was speechless for a moment.
"Su Man." Qiao Shiyan looked at her seriously and mustered up his courage. "I... I like you."
"I don't know when my feelings for you began. As I got along with you, my feelings for you gradually grew. When I realized it, I found that I had fallen deeply in love with you."
"When I see you in trouble, I can't help but want to help you solve it. When I see you sad, I will feel sad too. When I see you happy, my mood will also improve unconsciously."
"Before you were with Bei Sheng, I suppressed my feelings for you. But when you divorced Bei Sheng, I wasn't happy. Instead, I was worried about your situation and wanted to help you solve your problems. So, without hesitation, I thought of marrying you. Now that I think about it, I must have fallen in love with you at that time. Moreover, I couldn't control my feelings and couldn't extricate myself. The talk of win-win cooperation was actually just an excuse for me to cover up my intentions."
Qiao Shiyan said a lot, and Su Man's head was buzzing.
Now, she just wants to escape!
Qiao Shiyan asked: "Manman, do you have some feelings for me?"
"I... I'm sorry." Su Man felt very apologetic.
Qiao Shiyan forced a smile, still unwilling to give up: "It doesn't matter if there is none. I just didn't do well enough. I will keep working hard. But, can you give me a chance, try to accept me, and let us be a real couple and live our own lives happily in the future? Okay?"
He confessed his feelings and looked at Suman longingly.
Su Man couldn't resist his strong hope and felt more and more like a sinner.
"Senior Shi Yan, I... I have always considered you a friend. To be more precise, a comrade. You are very good to me, I know. I am not a rock, I can feel it, but it is just touching. Touching is not love... I can't deceive myself, I'm sorry."
Su Man said this, and simply laid out the back-up plan:
"I really want to continue being your comrade, but I also know that this isn't fair to you. If you can't accept this outcome and can't continue living with me and Doudou, I understand. I'll take Doudou and move out. I won't delay your marriage any longer. If you want a divorce, I can always go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the paperwork."
After saying this, Su Man didn't know how to continue facing Qiao Shiyan. She stood up holding Doudou and said, "Doudou is sleepy. I'll take him back to the hotel to rest first."
Without waiting for Qiao Shiyan's answer, she hugged Doudou and ran away.
Doudou didn't know what was going on, but he was indeed sleepy. He lay in his mother's arms and slept soundly.
Qiao Shiyan stood there in a daze, not catching up until Su Man's figure was drowned in the sea of people on the beach. Only then did he turn back with a sense of loss, staring at the sea in a daze.
Su Man held Dou Dou in her arms, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the hotel in a daze.
Suddenly, a force grabbed her arm.
Su Man turned her head in shock and saw Xiao Beisheng's gloomy eyes. "Why are you running so fast? Is someone trying to eat you?"
"None of your business."
"Where's Qiao Shiyan? Why doesn't he care about you and your son?"
When Qiao Shiyan was mentioned, Su Man's heart was in turmoil. "Let me go. I want to take the children back to the hotel to rest."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Doudou in her arms and said, "You stupid kid."
Suman glared at him.
I thought to myself: This is your son, you can scold him all you want, but it will only come back to bite you in the end.
"Let go." Su Man said with a stern face.
Xiao Beisheng let go of his hand.
Su Man ignored him and walked towards the hotel.
After walking a few steps, I found that Xiao Beisheng had followed me.
Su Man was depressed: "Why are you following me?"
"How can you be so bold as a woman, holding a child in your arms, in this foreign country late at night? Have you forgotten that time when your son was taken away from the hospital?"
Xiao Beisheng's words choked Su Man to the point of losing her temper.
"Although I admit that what you said makes some sense. But what about Luo Yan? Why don't you accompany Luo Yan? If you come here to be a flower protector, if she bumps into you, she will make trouble with you again."
"None of your business."
“…”
Good guy, she said it was none of her business, but he retorted to her to death.
As a result, when it came to his turn, he spoke very fluently.
"Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. You are the best PUA expert." Su Man said.
Xiao Beisheng laughed twice, "PUA also requires intelligence, I'll take it as a compliment."
Suman ignores him.
He added, "Luo Yan went back to the hotel to rest early."
Luo Yan did leave early just now.
Xiao Beisheng stayed on the beach, and coincidentally, he saw Qiao Shiyan's confession.
He couldn't hear what Qiao Shiyan said, but he saw that when the atmosphere was right, Qiao Shiyan wanted to kiss Su Man. But for some reason, Su Man avoided him.
Seeing that Su Man did not accept Qiao Shiyan's kiss, Xiao Beisheng felt secretly happy in his heart.
After that, the two talked about something else, and Suman hurried away with the child.
Xiao Beisheng was full of doubts and couldn't help but follow Su Man.
"I'm going back to the hotel soon and waiting for the bus to come. You don't have to see me off." Su Man stopped at the tourist bus stop.
The beach where the fireworks show was held was quite a distance away from the hotel where Suman was staying, and it was impossible to walk back.
"Who said I was sending you off?"
“…”Who just said that they were worried about Suman and the child being in danger?
Su Man stopped talking.
After a while, the local sightseeing bus arrived. It runs every fifteen minutes, so it's easy to wait. Su Man got on the bus and just sat down when she saw Xiao Beisheng also got on the bus and shamelessly sat next to Su Man.
Su Man said, "I'm afraid the hotel I'm going back to is not on the same road as the one you're staying at?"
"How do you know it's not on the way?" Xiao Beisheng was very arrogant.
