Li Qianxue, staring at Su Chenghui, stood at the entrance of the hospital. She didn’t leave, nor did she speak.
“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui looked at her worriedly. “Are you okay? Are you in pain again? Do you want to go back to the doctor?”
The worry on his face was obvious. Li Qianxue lowered her head but remained silent.
“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui was even more worried. He rarely saw Li Qianxue like this. “What exactly is wrong with you? Tell me.”
Li Qianxue pursed her lips tightly. She lowered her head and looked at her toes. In the end, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Chenghui.
“Su Chenghui, can you –” stay away from me? The last words became, “Tell me, what exactly do you want?”
Su Chenghui was stunned for a moment. When he saw Li Qianxue’s expression, he took a step forward.
“I want to make up for it. I want to have a chance to be by your side.”
He didn’t even dare to say the words to start over, nor could he say it out loud, because he knew that he would definitely be rejected by Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue naturally understood. The current Su Chenghui really had very little to ask for.
She turned around and looked at the entrance of the hospital. At this time, an ambulance just happened to enter the entrance. She looked at the ambulance that whizzed over and moved a few steps to the side.
The ambulance stopped and a person covered in blood came down from it. An emergency staff rushed out and carried the person on the stretcher onto the bed, then quickly rushed inside to save him.
The hospital was a place that witnessed the birth, aging, illness, and death every day. Looking at the people coming and going, Li Qianxue seemed to have figured something out. She also figured something out.
She took a few steps outside. Su Chenghui didn’t know what she wanted to do, so he followed behind her. Looking at her figure, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid that he would upset Li Qianxue.
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue, who was standing beside Su Chenghui’s car, suddenly stopped when she walked out of the hospital.
She didn’t look at him, but continued to stare at the traffic on the road. “You said that you want to make up for it. You said that you want to have a chance to be by my side?”
“Yes.”
“But let me tell you, if I don’t need you to make up for it. I don’t want to see you by my side. What do you want?”
“…” There was silence. Su Chenghui, who already expected this result, was not shocked at all. If Li Qianxue could forgive him so easily, then she would not be Li Qianxue.
“Or rather, if I choose to be with another man, what could you do?”
Su Chenghui’s pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at Li Qianxue’s back and felt bitter in his mouth. “I…”
“I’m not young anymore.” Li Qianxue knew clearly in her heart that no matter how well she took care of herself, she, who was already a grandmother, now had an old heart.
“I don’t have the energy either.”
She turned around and looked at Su Chenghui. Her gaze was somewhat uncertain, but it only lasted for a moment. Very quickly, her expression became extremely firm.
“Su Chenghui. Do you know? You’ve exhausted all of my passion. All of my abilities to love someone. I don’t know how to love anymore.”
Su Chenghui’s throat seemed to be choked. Of course, he knew. He knew everything that Li Qianxue said.
“I’m sorry…”
“Don’t say sorry.” Li Qianxue didn’t want to hear these words now. She raised her hand, tilted her head, and stared at Su Chenghui’s face.
“I don’t need your apology. It’s useless to apologize.”
Li Qianxue frowned slightly. This was her expression when she was thinking. She didn’t speak, and Su Chenghui didn’t know what to say.
Apart from apologizing, apart from making up for it, he really couldn’t do anything.
“Qianxue?”
“Do you love me?”
The sudden question made Su Chenghui think that there was something wrong with his ears. “I, I love you.”
Li Qianxue was not surprised. More than a year had passed. She had heard Su Chenghui’s confession more than once, even though sometimes he did not directly say the three words, “I love you”.
“But I don’t really believe it.”
“Qianxue, I really –”
She interrupted his passionate confession. Li Qianxue had always had a straightforward personality. There were some things that once she made a decision, she would not regret and would not turn back.
“Su Chenghui, if, I mean if, in the future, I will never love you, will you mind?”
“I…” Su Chenghui did not understand what Li Qianxue meant.
“You said that you wanted to make it up to me; you said that you loved me; you said that you just wanted a chance to be with me. Then, let me ask you, Su Chenghui. If I will never love you in my life, and will only hate you no matter what you do, you won’t mind? Do you still want to stay with me?”
After more than 20 years of pain, Li Qianxue believed that she could not easily let go of the pain caused by him swapping her daughter.
“Yes.” This time, Su Chenghui’s voice was much firmer. “No matter what, I will always be with you.”
Li Qianxue was silent again. She lowered her head and saw the shadow of the sun shining on her.
Her actions today were obviously not right. Su Chenghui had no idea what she meant, and stood there uneasily.
“Okay.”
After a long time, Li Qianxue said a good word.
“Okay?” What was okay?
Li Qianxue looked up at him, as if she had made up her mind.
“I agree to give you a chance.”
“Qianxue?” This time, Su Chenghui really thought that he was hallucinating. How was that possible?
After Li Qianxue said the first word, the rest was much easier.
“I agree to what you said just now. You want a chance, and I’ll give it to you. But, only for one year.”
“What?” There were too many incidents today, Su Chenghui had no time to process it. He only felt that it was surreal.
“I said I’ll give you one year. If in this year, you can make me change my view and believe in your sincerity, I’ll agree to be with you.”
“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui was completely stunned by the sudden huge surprise. “You, are you telling the truth?”
“You only have one year.” After these days, Li Qianxue had actually confirmed some things.
She could never be indifferent to Su Chenghui. She still had feelings for him.
After all, she had loved him for so many years and it was deeply rooted in her bones. It was not something that could be erased in a day or two.
However, she could not forget the hurt he had brought to her. She could not forget the things he had done.
She feelt conflicted. Now, she wanted to give him a chance and give herself a chance.
Feelings could be cultivated again, but the hurt would always be there. She woul give herself a year. If a year later, she could really let bygone be bygones, then she didn’t mind being with Su Chenghui again.
But if a year later, he still gave her the feeling that she was in a dilemma, then she could only decisively cut off her connection with Su Chenghui.
If she made up her mind, even Su Chenghui couldn’t stop her.
Su Chenghui could no longer control himself and went forward to hug her. He avoided her injured hand and tightly trapped her in his arms.
“Qianxue, I believe in me. I will work hard. I will definitely work hard. I promise I will persevere. Not only this year, but also many, many years in the future.”
He thought that he would never have the chance in his life. He also thought that he would have to wait many years for Li Qianxue to give in one day, but he did not expect this day to come so quickly.
“Qianxue, thank you. Thank you so much.”
Even if she hadn’t agreed, even if there was still a year, it was enough for Su Chenghui.
He would definitely try his best to make her accept him again.
“Don’t thank me.” Li Qianxue was still not used to his approach. She pushed him away and took a step back.
“I didn’t forgive you, and I didn’t accept you. I only gave you time. One year. If you can’t do it, then you have to promise that you will never appear in front of me.”
“Qianxue?”
“If you don’t agree, then my suggestion just now will be invalid. I will hire a professional manager and travel around the world so that you won’t be able to find me. Su Chenghui, don’t doubt my ability. I can do it.”
As the CEO of the Li Corporation, of course she could do it. Su Chenghui knew. However, he thought that she would at least care about Old Master Li and the two children.
“I have something to hold on to, but I also want to live for myself.” As if she knew what he was thinking, Li Qianxue didn’t mind telling him her plan.
Su Chenghui understood what she meant. Li Qianxue was such a person.
“How is it? Do you agree?” Meeting her provocative gaze, he nodded heavily.
“I agree. One year. Just one year. If I can’t make you change your mind in one year, I promise I won’t pester you anymore.”
“Wrong. It’s not that you won’t pester me, it’s that you’re never allowed to appear in front of me.”
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue’s exquisite eyes and nodded his head heavily in agreement.
After he agreed, Li Qianxue felt her back suddenly relax. It was as if she had suddenly let go of something.
One year, just one year. No matter what, she would enjoy Su Chenghui’s contributions for the time being.
In the past years, she was the one who had been giving. She was the one who had been working hard for the relationship between the two of them.
Now that she was tired and the roles were reversed, she would let Su Chenghui worry about it.
..
After getting into the car, Su Chenghui still hadn’t recovered from that mood. He was like a young boy, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
“Qianxue, where are you going? I’ll send you.”
Li Qianxue, her eyes looking like she was looking at a fool, turned to look at him. “Home. I’m injured, so where else can I go?”
“Yes, home, home.” Su Chenghui nodded, but when he was about to start the car, he could not help but stop to look at her. “Well, why don’t we go on a date?”
“Go to the movies? Or go shopping?”
He didn’t know what to do with a woman, so he was very clumsy. He really hadn’t dated a woman before.
He didn’t know if he should go online to check what people did on dates.
“Su Chenghui, you seem to have forgotten something, haven’t you?”
“What?”
