"CEO Chen I am sorry, I don't know if I'll be able to accept anyone into my heart. I don't know if I would be able to love anyone. "I am really sorry."
"Miss Yan, I am sorry too but I won't take no for an answer. You have to give me a reason why you can't accept my love, or I won't agree to being rejected," Li Wei protested stubbornly.
He has waited for her to be comfortable in his company, he has kept his distance from her for so long now, but not anymore!
"You said you don't have a boyfriend, then why won't you give me a chance? Why won't you accept me? Chen Liwei lamented frustratingly.
Su Min sighed....
"CEO Chen, I don't know how to explain to you, but my heart already belongs to someone and even though I have tried to let go of that person, I just don't know why my heart still can't let go. Though I know a part of me died the day we parted, I still wish to see him living happy and well, even though it's painful. So painful that I find it so hard to continue living, but I still have to live because I have people who rely on me. So I just have to go on living, regardless of how painful it might be." Su Min explained tearfully.
Seeing her in tears, Li Wei's heart broke. He moved closer to her and pulled her into his embrace. "It's okay."
When her head touched his hard chest and his hand started to pat her back, Su Min felt warm. This little gesture from Li Wei reminded her of Jun Pyo. Su Min couldn't stop the hot tears from flowing out of her eyes, they kept falling continuously from her eyes as she remembered him. She knew she miss him, She miss him so much.
"It's okay to cry, You can pour it all out." Li Wei pats her back. "Let it out Su Min, Don't keep it in. When you keep your sorrows in, It weighs you down and makes it hard to forget, " Liwei said still patting her back lovingly. "Let me help you Su Min, Let me mend your broken heart." Please give me a chance, let me love you. let me help you live again, Please." Li Wei made her sit so he could see her face as he continued. "One heartbreak shouldn't determine your life. You shouldn't live like this Su Min, You are stronger than this!" You should live well to make him realize what he's lost."
"H..How? Su Min cried. How do I live well?"
"By starting over again," Get up on your feet, explore the world, fall in love again, that's all I'm asking.
"But how?" Su Min raised her head from his chest. "Where do I start from?"
"You can start with me." Li Wei immediately said.
"B..bu..but I won't be able to love you back, I won't be able to ...."
"Shh....." Liwei placed his index finger on her lips. "I will make you able to love again, I will make you happy and never be sad anymore. You just have to take the first step and I'll be there to catch you even if you stumble. "Please Su Min, Just give me a chance.
Su Min shook her head in refusal. "How can I be selfish to play with your heart when I myself know how painful it is? Su Min thought. "I can't do it, I really can't." Wiping her face with her handkerchief she stood up and said, "I'm sorry CEO Chen." and she immediately rushed out.
Li Wei Sighed heavily. "How hurt could she have been to decide to bury herself deep behind that strong capable woman's mask she wears?" I can't believe someone would leave such a great woman." Liwei said to himself. "Anyways, I am grateful to whoever he is, because one man's loss is another's gain. Now all I have to do is make sure she accepts me. And I will make sure of it." Liwei said determinedly.

"Hello Jun Pyo, are you busy?" A woman's voice asked as Gu Jun Pyo answered the call.
"Hello mom," I am busy but I'm almost done.
"Will you be free by 5pm?
"I'm not sure, what's wrong?
"I was hoping you'd pick Soo Ya up, she'll be arriving today by 5pm and I want you to create sometime to pick her up and be with her.
"I am not free! Jun Pyo said angrily
"Then free your schedule!
"No Way! I can't do that! Jun Pyo refused.
"You better do son, remember she is your fiancee and you haven't seen each other for three years now. so you have make sure to create some time to be with her.
"Mom I..."
before Jun Pyo could complete his words, the call got got disconnected. Jun Pyo Sighed and he check his time and it was almost 4pm. "I'll complete this and go pick her up," He said frustratingly.
..................
"Why did you do that? You know he wouldn't want to pick her up but you still forced him to, why? Master Gu said to his wife. "You are aware that he still can't forget that girl from before and you are still..."
"Please Si Hao, you and I both know that girl already left him, She left him a long time ago. She left him to be miserable. Besides, He's forgotten her already and whatever they had is all in the past. Moreover, You and I know they could never have been together. Furthermore, need i remind you that if he hadn't gotten engaged to Soo Ya back then, what would have happened to our empire, you know, right?" Mrs Gu said to her husband, "It would have been ruined and we'd have been left with nothing." She put down the magazine she was holding and turned to him. "But then again, what can that girl offer him, Huh? Our Son had to know that he isn't just an ordinary man and the luxurious life he lives comes with a price." Mrs Gu stated.
"I know that but forcing him to love someone isn't right don't you think?
"He is my son and I want, what's best for him. I just can't let him waste his future by being with that woman. You remember how he even chose her over all his inheritance and us. He even threatened to leave us for her." Si Hao did you forget so soon? Mrs. Gu asked her husband. "That girl had him wrapped around her fingers and I'm happy she disappeared from his life."
Master Gu sighed and was about to speak. "Still, Hee Min that is not...."
"Please Si Hao don't jinx this with your silly thoughts, Okay? Mrs Gu cuts him off abruptly. "Now that Soo Ya is coming back home, we'll have to speed up their marriage, so that the merger will happen sooner. Making our Gu Conglomerate the world largest empire.

"Gu Jun Pyo, I want to forget you." I want you out of my heart but this....," Su Min said, tapping her chest hard, "Stubborn heart just wouldn't let me."
"I want to move on from you, like you have moved on from me," I want to start anew too but I just don't know why I can't let you go," Su Min cried.
She remembered the face that keeps troubling her, the face that snatches her sleep, the face that makes her restless, the face for which she has been longing. "I Love You." She whispered and wept continuously before saying, "But I guess this is as far as we go. I won't continue living in the past, I'm also going to try and move on."
Staring intently at his picture she said, "Gu Jun Pyo, I am finally letting you go."
