"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again." Jiang Susu immediately admitted her mistake, afraid that Shang Yanxing would be angry.
"Never mind, it's my fault. I should have told Madam first." He shouldn't have waited for this little woman to ask him; he should have told her himself.
If he had told Jiang Susu the truth back then, she wouldn't have ended up not knowing his name by the time she graduated from university.
Because there wasn't much time during his senior year, he didn't have many opportunities to get close to Jiang Susu.
Towards the end of their senior year, most of their classmates went on internships.
So he left school and followed his father, Shang Mengzhou, to learn how to manage a company.
After leaving school, and with work keeping me busy, I naturally didn't have much time to inquire about Jiang Susu.
At that time, he also saw some rumors about the school's confession wall.
It is said that Jiang Susu likes Shen Shiyan.
At that time, he didn't seem very surprised by these rumors, because he had already seen them back in high school.
But when he heard these words from other people, he still felt very sad.
It seems he really doesn't have the right to approach that girl.
Because Shen Shiyan and Jiang Susu never got together, he knew that the girl he secretly loved also secretly loved someone else.
Moreover, her cautious manner was almost exactly the same as his.
That's why, after leaving school, he didn't inquire about her as frequently as before.
Because he took over the business, he didn't go back to see Jiang Susu much afterward.
Actually, he was also a little hesitant.
Especially when he heard others say that Jiang Susu liked Shen Shiyan.
He was afraid that if he went back, he would see the two of them holding hands together.
So I've never dared to go back.
But he couldn't let go of her; he just couldn't let go of this little woman.
"Shang Yanxing, if you confessed to me in college, I would definitely choose you."
Her relationship with Shen Shiyan ended during their university years.
In other words, she and Shen Shiyan never started anything, and there was no real affection between them.
From beginning to end, it was just wishful thinking on her part.
"But at that time, Madam only had eyes for Shen Shiyan. How could I dare?" He didn't have the courage to confess to Jiang Susu.
And not long after that, he left the school.
Jiang Susu gently cupped Shang Yanxing's face with a touch of tenderness and said, "You need to be confident. How would I know you like me if you never told me?"
Shang Yanxing almost never appeared in front of her.
She had always kept it a secret, so how could she have known that this man liked her?
If Shang Yanxing had confessed his feelings to her openly back then, she definitely wouldn't have kept clinging to Shen Shiyan.
“At that time, I wrote a love letter to my wife, but I never sent it.”
He wrote for several nights, but after he finished, he didn't have the courage to send it out.
He thought about it and realized that Jiang Susu definitely didn't know him, so he felt it was presumptuous to do so.
"Why? Why didn't you send it if you wrote it?" She was starting to get anxious for the man.
It seems Shang Yanxing is a bit slow to grasp things.
"Because Madam didn't know me at that time, I was afraid she would think I was a pervert." If it left a bad impression, that would be even worse.
So after much hesitation, he still didn't send the love letter.
"Mr. Shang, you're really something. Do you think I'm that kind of person? Why would I think you're a pervert?"
At that time, she and Shen Shiyan were not together, so it was normal for someone to pursue her, right?
So even if Shang Yanxing sent her a love letter, she wouldn't think that way.
"How would I know? I thought that at that time, Madam had already decided on Shen Shiyan."
She and Shen Shiyan were almost inseparable, and coupled with the words on the confession wall, Shang Yanxing mistakenly believed that Jiang Susu only had room for Shen Shiyan in her heart.
After all, when he helped this young woman with her luggage, he didn't even ask her name or look at her face.
So that love letter, written in a moment of passion, was never sent.
Jiang Susu sighed, "How should I put it? You have the perseverance, but you're not brave enough."
Shang Yanxing had liked her for so long without ever thinking of giving up, but over the years, he had never taken a single step forward.
"Yes, I was indeed not brave enough. If I had been braver back then, Madam wouldn't have suffered so much harm."
If he had been braver, Shen Shiyan wouldn't have had the chance to hurt Jiang Susu.
Jiang Susu stretched out her hand to Shang Yanxing, "What about that love letter that was never sent back then? Can I see it now?"
"It's been so long, does Madam still want to see it now?" It's been several years already.
"You wrote this for me, so of course I'm going to read it." I hadn't seen it before, but now that I have the chance, why shouldn't I read it?
"Alright, since Madam wants to see it, then I will show it to you."
Shang Yanxing took Jiang Susu to the study.
He reached into the drawer, took out a foreign classic, opened the book, and then took out the letter that was tucked inside.
Shang Yanxing handed the letter to Jiang Susu, "Here, Madam can read it if she wants."
It was originally intended for this young woman, so there's nothing wrong with her seeing it.
Jiang Susu smiled and then opened the letter.
What catches the eye is the neat and powerful handwriting.
I've liked you for seven years, but I've never had the courage to tell you.
Actually, I'm very lucky. At least I know your name, have seen your eyes, and have secretly looked at you.
Unbeknownst to you, I silently repeated your name countless times in my heart.
The letter wasn't very long, but reading it made her feel very upset.
Jiang Susu hugged Shang Yanxing tightly, "I'll make it up to you for everything we missed before, okay?"
She felt so sorry for this man; she had no idea how he had managed all these years.
"Alright, Madam will compensate me later."
Shang Yanxing wiped away Jiang Susu's tears, "Why are you crying, Madam? I'm not crying at all."
In the past, he sometimes felt like the world was in darkness, and he didn't know when it would end.
What frightened him most was that Jiang Susu had feelings for someone else.
If it were just Shen Shiyan as a rival in love, he wouldn't feel so much pressure.
But if the person he likes falls for someone else, he feels like he's lost from the very beginning.
They don't even have the right to compete with Shen Shiyan.
Fortunately, fate wasn't entirely unfair to him; it gave him another chance.
