Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Unable to Forgive Oneself
One morning, Lin Qian was working in the shop as usual.
However, the image of Su Yu’an kept popping into her mind.
That man, he really was annoying.
She wondered when he would stop bothering her.
Just as she was lost in thought, a delivery person walked in with a bundle of flowers.
This time, it wasn’t the bright red roses, but a large bunch of pink roses.
Lin Qian frowned, thinking it might be another gift from Su Yu’an, when the delivery person came straight up to her, smiling, "Miss Lin, these are your flowers. Please sign for them."
It was the same delivery person from yesterday. Lin Qian forced a smile, signed for the flowers, and flipped through the card inside, and sure enough, it was another four words: "Qianqian, please sign."
Su Yu’an, what on earth does he want!
"Wow, Manager Lin, today it’s pink roses."
"The flower language of pink roses represents first love, eternal love. Manager Lin, could it be from your first love?"
"Manager Lin, who is your first love? Is it the man who came to pick you up the other night?"
"..."
The employees looked starry-eyed as Lin Qian smiled and walked out of the flower shop, again throwing the flowers into the trash.
The man had money to burn; he’d send them, she’d throw them away.
Lin Qian let out a deep sigh and texted Su Yu’an.
"Su Yu’an, when will you ever stop? Don’t you have any self-respect? How can you still have the face to show up after I ridicule you like this? Are you even a man?"
Really, utterly boring!
How could one person change so much?
Was this still the same graceful, proud piano prince from before?
"Qianqian, in front of you, I don’t need dignity, I just need your forgiveness."
Su Yu’an’s message came back quickly.
Lin Qian’s red lips tightened as she typed back, "Su Yu’an, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. There’s no question of forgiveness. So could you please stop doing these pointless things?"
Forgiveness?
She had long sealed away her feelings for him, what forgiveness was there to talk about?
"Qianqian, I’m sorry, I can’t forgive myself, so I will continue in my own way."
Lin Qian: "....."
Had he turned into a clingy pest?
Unable to shake him off?
Lin Qian clenched her phone, agitatedly raked through her hair, and chose to ignore him further.
Let him do whatever he liked.
There was no way they could go back to how things were.
Back in the shop, the employees, seeing her empty hands, immediately looked sympathetic.
"Manager Lin threw away such a big bunch of pink roses again, what a waste."
"Yeah! I bet the man who sent the flowers must have hurt Manager Lin’s heart, that’s why Lin Qian could be so ruthless."
"..."
The employees chattered, and Lin Qian didn’t bother to explain, just continued with her work.
As it neared lunchtime, the shop’s phone rang. Lin Qian happened to be near the phone and picked it up, "Hello, MXL counter, how may I help you?"
A moment of silence from the other end, then a man’s gentle voice came through.
"Qianqian, could you send a suit to the restaurant we were at yesterday?"
It was Su Yu’an again!
This really was endless!
Lin Qian sighed deeply, "I’m sorry Mr. Su, but I have to go out later. Could I have another colleague deliver it for you?"
"Qianqian..."
"Mr. Su, even if you complain about me today, I really don’t have the time to deliver it. Should I have my colleague deliver the suit for you?"
Lin Qian firmly cut off Su Yu’an, her tone resolute.
There was a pause from Su Yu’an on the other end, followed by a soft sigh, "Qianqian, are you really so unwilling to see me?"
The man’s voice was gentle and filled with a faint sadness, causing Lin Qian to involuntarily grip the phone tighter.
She pursed her lips, "Yes, Mr. Su, I thought I made myself clear."
She didn’t want to see him.
She didn’t want anything to do with him ever again!
"Qianqian, four years ago, actually I..."
Su Yu’an hesitated, then changed the subject, "Never mind, since you’re busy, let your co-worker handle it. Just pick a formal suit for me and have your colleague drop it off at the restaurant’s reception."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Su for your understanding."
Lin Qian hung up the phone, exhaling deeply.
Su Yu’an’s aborted words echoed in her ears.
Four years ago?
What did he want to say?
Lin Qian shook her head, refusing to think further, and walked straight to a row of expensive suits, picking out a pricey, formal one.
The man had money, so why not charge him well.
Hopefully, the sting would deter him from playing these childish games next time.
On the other end of the phone, Su Yu’an put away his phone, looking at the table full of dishes, and chuckled bitterly.
Unwilling to join him for a meal.
That approach wasn’t working anymore.
The sumptuous feast couldn’t stir any appetite in him.
He got up, preparing to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the private room, he saw several people approaching.
Among them, a man surrounded by a group was strikingly conspicuous in the crowd, instantly catching people’s attention.
Yin Moran?
His cousin?
Su Yu’an did not avoid him and went up with a smile.
"Cousin, long time no see."
Although his parents were divorced, they still met at the Yin family’s gatherings during the New Year.
He was not unfamiliar with Yin Moran.
Yin Moran also saw Su Yu’an, stopping in front of him, his dark eyes profound, "Yu’an, you’ve returned to the country?"
"Yes, I’m planning to develop my career here," Su Yu’an said with a polite smile, "Let’s get together when you’re free."
"Sure."
Yin Moran was a man of few words, only giving a faint, "Sure."
Su Yu’an wasn’t very close to Yin Moran, and for a moment didn’t know what else to say, "Cousin, you probably have other commitments? Then you go ahead, we’ll catch up another time."
Yin Moran nodded slightly, about to take a step, but hesitated, "Yu’an, I heard you’re getting engaged? Congratulations! Aunt Su’s wish will probably be fulfilled soon."
With that, he didn’t wait for Su Yu’an to reply and walked forward.
His lips curled slightly, displaying a trace of certainty.
Su Yu’an was a filial son.
He was purposely reminding him not to forget he had a fiancée and not to stir up things with his ex.
Because even if he wanted to be with Lin Qian, Mrs. Su would not agree.
Behind him, Su Yu’an opened his mouth, a wave of irritation without reason.
Did everyone know he was getting engaged?
But he wanted to call off the engagement!
However, that wouldn’t be easy.
His mother would probably oppose him to the end.
But he wouldn’t give up.
He wanted to rekindle an old flame!
.....
Kindergarten.
It was time for the afternoon dismissal.
Luxury cars lined up to pick up the children.
Su Yu’an got out of the car, watching the neatly arranged rows of little ones coming out of the school, his lips curled.
To win Lin Qian back, he had to start with the children.
So he had calculated the time and come to pick up the child from school.
As long as the child accepted him, perhaps Lin Qian would accept him anew.
From afar, he saw the delicate, sculpted Lin Zirui walking out with the crowd.
A little girl, doll-like in delicacy, was by his side.
Just as he was about to go forward and greet them, a man’s deep, magnetic voice came from behind.
"Yu’an?"
