259: Chapter 259: For the Goddess Mu 259: Chapter 259: For the Goddess Mu “I must have done some great deed in my past life to have given birth to such a sensible and beautiful daughter like you.”

Struggling to hold back her tears, An Suqin forced a slight smile, “Ya, tell me the truth, is there someone pursuing you outside?

If there is, you must tell me, and better yet, bring him home so I can see.”

“Or maybe, it’s better not to bring him here.”

An Suqin shook her head even before Bai Ya could respond, as if something occurred to her, and her expression suddenly became much sadder, “Looking at me now, it’s easy for people to judge you, I—cannot drag you down any longer.”

“Mom, please don’t talk like that.”

A pang of heartache surged through Bai Ya as she leaned down and hugged An Suqin, whispering softly as if murmuring, “No one is chasing after me, and I don’t want to fall in love; I just want to stay with you always.”

“Silly girl, how many years do I have left?”

An Suping spoke very kindly, patting Bai Ya’s back gently, and with a hint of advisory wistfulness, she said, “My greatest wish right now is for you to find someone you love and entrust your life to him.

If that happens, I will be completely at ease.

Sweetheart, listen to me, if someone pursues you and you like him, you must not miss out.”

“Mom, the person I liked, I missed out on him a long time ago.” Bai Ya silently replied in her heart to An Suqin, tears rolling in her eyes about to fall.

Fearing that An Suqin would see her tears, Bai Ya quickly got up and left, “Mom, you rest for a bit, I’ll go cook.”

After leaving the bedroom, Bai Ya’s tears fell uncontrollably, like beads with a broken string.

With tears streaming down her face, Bai Ya walked back to her own bedroom and took out a slightly faded student photo from a creased notebook on her bedside table.

The photo was of an ordinary-looking young man with a bare head, well-preserved.

Bai Ya stared at the photo carefully, crying and laughing, “You must have forgotten about me by now, but I—just can’t forget you.”

The boy in the photo was none other than Lin Fei from high school.

At the Hyatt International Hotel, in the office of Shen Lexuan, Director of the Marketing Department.

“…So, you weren’t out buying a ring for me, but you went to drink with someone else!” Looking at Lin Fei standing in front of her, reeking of alcohol, Shen Lexuan truly felt like slapping him out the window.

“Lin Fei!

Do you have any idea how many people want to pursue me?!

In all honesty, I don’t even know how many in the hotel alone see me as their dream lover!

I’ve made it so clear.

I’m missing just short of telling you directly, ‘Buy a ring for me, and I’ll agree to marry you!’ I’m a senior executive at a Star Hotel, I have been so proactive, what more do you want from me?!”

“Do I really need to be the one to propose to you for you to understand my feelings?!”

Shen Lexuan’s pretty face turned pale with anger, her delicate fingers pointed straight at Lin Fei’s chest, poking forcefully a couple of times, “You didn’t get me a ring, fine, but you run off to drink during work hours!

Lin Fei, oh Lin Fei, since becoming the assistant manager, you sure became braver!

Since you love drinking so much, your director will indulge you.

Come home with me tonight.

I have plenty of liquor at home, and if you don’t make me happy tonight, I’ll go find General Manager Mu tomorrow and have your assistant manager position retracted!

If you’re not an assistant manager anymore, let’s see how you skip work to drink with others then!”
