"Of course I know he treats me well," Yu Wan said after a moment's silence. "But I feel like this kindness is fleeting and hasn't sunk into my heart. I feel happy, but at the same time, I feel like this happiness could slip away at any moment."
Yu Wan looked at the birds flying outside the window and said, "I don't dare to agree. I'm afraid that if I agree, the situation will be completely different and everything will change."
"Why? Why do you think that?" Ah Xuan frowned. "Marriage is supposed to make people feel happy and secure. How can you be afraid?"
"Yes, marriage should make people feel happy and secure. Why would I be afraid?" Yu Wan repeated her words in a daze.
Seeing her like this, A Xuan knew that she herself didn't think it through either.
She sighed, "Forget it, this isn't something that can be forced. Since you can't figure it out, then think about it again."
"Yeah." Yu Wan lowered her eyes.
"But I have to tell you, Mr. Qin has returned to Gangcheng now. There are many women in Gangcheng who are eyeing him covetously. You'd better not regret it later." A Xuan did this on purpose to make Yu Wan feel a little sense of crisis.
What she said was also true. Although Qin Xun was middle-aged, his status and position were there, and he looked elegant and gentlemanly. Even if they were afraid, there were still many women in Hong Kong who wanted to get close to him, whether for him or for the wealth and status he represented.
"When people are sad and hurt, they are most likely to be taken advantage of." A Xuan added fuel to the fire.
Yu Wan was not frightened by her words. Instead, she smiled and said, "If he really is like that, then even if I'm blind, wouldn't it be the right decision for me not to get married?"
"Okay, you're cool." Ah Xuan couldn't argue with her and could only say helplessly, "But don't forget, the human heart can't stand being hurt all the time, nor can it stand waiting all the time."
Her casual words made Yu Wan's smile fade and she was stunned.

"Yingying, I'm so worried."
At the Qin family, Qin Ying came to give her parents thick winter cotton-padded clothes. Wang Biyun held her hand with a worried look on her face.
"Mom, are you still worried about Big Brother and Sister Wan?" Qin Ying said with a smile.
"How could I not be worried?" Wang Biyu sighed. "I thought your eldest brother had found a partner, and your father and I would feel at ease. Who would have thought that after more than a year of dating, they wouldn't agree to get married. What kind of a situation is this?"
"I just can't figure it out. Xiaowan doesn't look like she dislikes your eldest brother, so why doesn't she agree? What is she worried about? Only when she tells us can we solve this problem."
In the more than a year that Qin Xun and Yuwan have been together, he has brought Yuwan home and met his parents several times. Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo both like her very much and almost treat her as their second daughter.
"Mom, maybe Sister Wan doesn't refuse, she just hasn't thought it through yet." Qin Ying comforted her, "Relationships are a big deal, how can it be so easy to make a decision?"
"It's a big deal, so why don't we all discuss it together?" Wang Biyun still frowned. "I asked your eldest brother why Xiaowan didn't agree, but he couldn't explain it."
"Besides, this matter hasn't been resolved yet, and he's gone back to Hong Kong City. What will Xiaowan think? What if she feels that your eldest brother has ignored her and becomes more determined in her own opinion?"
"No, Mom." Qin Ying was a little amused. "Sister Wan is not a little woman, nor is she a woman who relies on a man to live. She has her own career and pursuits, and she won't be so stingy." In some ways, Qin Ying always felt that Yuwan was somewhat similar to her own daughter. They both pursued careers, were independent, and did not depend on anyone.
"Besides, Big Brother went back to Hong Kong to deal with something. Sister Wan knows all about it. Besides, I think it might be a good thing for the two of them to be apart for a while. They can both think calmly and make a decision. Maybe when Big Brother comes back, there will be good news."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then I feel relieved." After being comforted by Qin Ying, Wang Biyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After another busy day, Yuwan looked tired and walked out of the villa, wanting to get some fresh air.
She stood under a tree and lit a cigarette. The scarlet light flickered at her fingertips. Yu Wan blew out a smoke ring, and the smoke curled up and slowly dissipated.
She was smoking and daydreaming.
Yuwan seldom smokes and only lights one when she is upset. Qin Xun didn't even know she smoked. She learned it from those sisters in the dance hall. They laughed at her for being a bad learner, but they didn't stop her from smoking. They just told her that people can seek temporary relaxation through cigarettes, but people cannot be controlled by cigarettes and become their slaves. So over the years, she has rarely smoked.
A cigarette quickly burned out, she put it out and prepared to go into the store.
"Li Weimin, how many times has this happened? What time is it now? Tell me yourself!" A young girl shouted angrily.
Yuwan subconsciously looked up.
There is a cinema diagonally opposite Yashe. There are many young people coming to watch movies, and many of them are couples.
A gentle and handsome young man was coaxing a girl in a gentle manner.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. Let's go in. The movie has already started."
"It all started because of you!" The girl was furious. "There are so many people in our unit who are looking for someone, and they all have their partners waiting. I've never seen a girl like me who waits for you every now and then."
"I understand that you're busy with work, but can you keep the time we agreed on?"
"Yes, yes, I will be there on time next time." The young man kept nodding and apologizing.
"You always say that." A hint of disappointment flashed across the girl's face, "but you're still late every time."
"I know you were late because you were busy with work. You're not wrong, but I get tired and impatient waiting for you like this over and over again." The girl's voice was almost tearful as she spoke. "Can't you consider my feelings for a moment?"
Seeing her crying, the boy ignored other people's eyes and hugged her in his arms distressedly, "It's my fault. I won't do it again next time. I definitely won't do it again. I won't make you wait again."
"That's better." The girl finally burst into laughter.
The two of them entered the cinema sweetly.
Yu Wan stood there in a daze, her heart aching as if it were hit by a heavy hammer.
Will people who keep waiting get tired and impatient?
What about Qin Xun? Would he be tired of waiting for her answer?
