Li Yan'an, what exactly are you trying to do?
I finally made up my mind to live a life without you.
I'm gradually getting used to it now, and I believe it's only a matter of time before I forget you.
But why did you have to intrude into my life?
After all, it's someone I've liked for ten years.
She used to constantly remind herself that even if she met him, she should act like a stranger.
But now she knows that he might like her too?
How could she possibly calm down?
Xie Yunyun's work efficiency dropped significantly that day.
As for the secretary, all she could do was instruct her to act according to the situation if Sanwa contacted her again, but to tell her everything that happened and what was said.
Before Xie Yunyun even got off work, she received a message from the handsome young man, inviting her to join him at an outdoor BBQ.
In the past, Xie Yunyun would have gone whenever she wanted if she wasn't tired, but now she hesitated.
Although she didn't take it seriously, it was true that the boy said he wanted to pursue her.
She and Li Yan'an haven't even sorted things out yet, so let's not drag this little guy into it.
With that in mind, she sent a rejection message.
However, when she got off work, she encountered a chaotic scene.
Sanwa and the handsome young man were waiting downstairs at the company.
The two of them saw each other and looked down on each other.
"Didn't Sister Yunyun make it clear to you last time? She doesn't want to see you."
"This is between her and me, it has nothing to do with you." Knowing from the secretary that this guy was currently only pursuing Xie Yunyun, Sanwa, though wary of him, felt a little more confident.
After looking at Sanwa's car, the handsome young man said disdainfully, "Poor thing, someone like you can't possibly provide Sister Yunyun with a good life."
Since they're rivals in love, it's natural to seize upon each other's weaknesses and attack them mercilessly.
Sanwa's car is indeed not expensive, just an ordinary commuter car costing a little over 100,000 yuan.
The handsome young man is not inherently materialistic or snobbish; he only does so because they are now adversaries.
“Childish,” Sanwa uttered.
Perhaps because Xie Yunyun had previously disliked his young age, the handsome young man was suddenly hit where it hurt.
"Of course you're not childish anymore. You're over thirty, and oh my, your face is getting wrinkled."
Sanwa was already six years older than Xie Yunyun, and compared to the handsome young man, he was more than ten years older, which was quite a bit older than the young man.
When attacked, the Third Brother's sharp tongue skill suddenly spiked to its maximum.
When Xie Yunyun came down, what she saw was two high-level noobs pecking at each other, a scene that was simply unbearable to watch.
What are you doing here?!
Upon seeing her, the two who had been attacking each other finally stopped.
"Sister Yunyun." The handsome young man greeted her with a smile.
"You're off work, this is for you." Sanwa took a bouquet of flowers from the car.
Oh no, this old guy beat us! The young man was furious; next time he'd bring a whole truckload!
Xie Yunyun was flattered to receive the message from Sanwa.
"What do you mean?"
"Xie Yunyun, I know you like me, and I've also realized that I like you a little too. I made a mistake before, which caused a lot of misunderstandings, so now I'm starting to pursue you again."
Hearing it from the secretary was completely different from hearing it directly from Sanwa; it was a completely different experience.
Even though she had told herself not to trust easily, Xie Yunyun felt an inexplicable joy welling up inside her.
The handsome young man who was left standing aside was unhappy.
"Sister Yunyun, don't be fooled by him. He's so old and still a bachelor. Who knows if he has bad intentions?"
Unfortunately, the handsome young man got it wrong.
Xie Yunyun surely knows why Sanwa has been single for so many years.
As for having ulterior motives, what could he possibly have to do with himself that would be worth plotting against?
However, Xie Yunyun reminded herself to calm down.
"Li Yan'an, you realized you like me after we broke up?" She laughed self-deprecatingly. "You don't need me to play along with your act, do you?"
She couldn't let herself be blinded by even the slightest bit of sweet talk, otherwise she feared she would fall into an abyss the next time she withdrew.
That's true. If their past hadn't been unexpectedly revealed, they probably would have dated for several more months according to the original plan.
She knew his fastidious nature, that he was used to cooperating on his own, and that he had already shown himself to his family, so he might not want to bother finding someone else.
Maybe he really doesn't hate me anymore, but does he like me?
Does he even know what it means to like someone?
Sanwa was getting anxious.
"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth."
Seeing an opportunity, the handsome young man next to him also seized the chance to stir things up.
"Sister Yunyun, I know he doesn't appreciate you. Why don't you consider me again? Look at me, I'm twenty-three this year, healthy with no bad habits, and my family is well-off. Well, at least I'm much better off than that idiot who only earns a few meager wages. Why don't you give it a try with me?"
"This guy who's trying to poach people is so annoying," Sanwa glared at him angrily.
Xie Yunyun was initially calm, but when she heard the handsome young man complaining about Sanwa's poor financial situation, she couldn't help but glance at him.
My child, his salary may not be very high, but your family's financial situation is definitely better than yours.
The handsome young man thought Xie Yunyun was moved by his words, and he could see the smug look on Sanwa's face.
"Childish," Sanwa added.
Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Xie Yunyun quickly stopped them.
"Thank you for the flowers, and thank you for you. I've already said I only see you as a younger brother. Don't waste your time on me anymore. You should go home now. I'm going home too. Work is tiring, and I want to go home and rest."
After saying that, she ignored them and went to drive her own car.
The three children and the handsome young man exchanged glances for several rounds before reluctantly getting into their respective cars.
In the first round, the third child had a slight advantage.
Xie Yunyun appeared calm, but on her way home, two little voices inside her were constantly arguing.
He probably likes you.
No, he doesn't like you. Don't flatter yourself.
Look at his personality; he still took the initiative to come to you and even sent you flowers. He must like you.
These are all tactics; he's very clever.
Even after arriving home, the two children still couldn't reach a conclusion, leaving Xie Yunyun even more confused.
She hadn't been home long when her mother called.
After only a few words, Xie's mother steered the conversation back to the old topic.
"Mom met an aunt in the park. Her son is a returnee from overseas and works in Beijing. He's single now. Mom thinks he's a good match for you in every way. Mom asked for his contact information and will send it to you later. Remember to contact him."
Xie Yunyun was in a real bind.
"Mom, I'm very busy with work right now, I don't have time for these things."
"Yunyun, no matter how busy you are with work, you can't delay getting married. When you get older, not to mention children, you won't even have anyone who cares about you. You'll know how serious that is then."
After hanging up the phone, she sat there in a daze.
Does everyone have to get married and start a family? She feels that she's fine on her own.
