"Next time, let me know if anything comes up. Your sudden disappearance is worrisome for me as your boss," Bai Xue interrupted him. She was not here to stir up trouble with Bai Wanrou, so they didn't need to be so apprehensive.
It was then that Xu Qiming remembered his phone had died and switched off, showing remorse on his face. "I'm sorry, CEO Bai, for causing you to worry."
"As long as you're fine. Are you able to catch the flight tomorrow afternoon? If not, I can give you a few days off." Bai Xue knew Xu Qiming was fond of Bai Wanrou. Seeing them together was not surprising, but she was somewhat taken aback that Bai Wanrou was in the United States and the two had bumped into each other coincidentally.
Xu Qiming glanced at Bai Wanrou, "I think I need a few days off."
He didn't feel assured to leave just like that.
"Alright, you have five days." Bai Xue announced and left.
Bai Wanrou mustered up the courage from somewhere to run up and grab Bai Xue.
Bai Xue turned around. Since Bai Wanrou held onto her, should she give her some response?
The stare from Bai Xue nearly deflated Bai Wanrou's newfound bravery.
"Sister Xue, I beg you, could you give Yan back to me?" She couldn't lose Su Yan! No, she couldn't! Losing him was worse than anything else!
Bai Xue looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, "Su Yan isn't an object. If you don't want him, then let him go. If you do, why do I have to give him back to you?"
"I didn't give up Yan!" Bai Wanrou shook her head frantically. How could she let him go?
"Why did you leave him then?"
"I..." Bai Wanrou couldn't respond. If she told the truth, her chances of winning back Su Yan would be even slimmer. Suddenly, she remembered her reason for leaving.
"I did it for Yan's good. I didn't want him to lose everything because of me. I left him because I love him too much!"
"Is that so?" Bai Xue raised an eyebrow.
Her gaze seemed like she knew the actual reason Bai Wanrou left Su Yan, causing her to feel guilty.
She braced herself, "Yes, I left because I love Yan too much!"
"So if you love him that much, why would you need me to give him back to you? Do you still want him to lose everything and live a hard life with you?" Bai Xue couldn't believe Bai Wanrou had the nerve to say such things. If she truly loved Su Yan, they wouldn't have broken up!
"Grandpa Su has already transferred the ownership of the Su's to Yan, hasn't he?" Yan was already in control, how could he still be destitute?
"So you think since Su Yan has control of the Su's business and isn't destitute, that now you want to return to his side?" Oh, Su Yan! Look at the kind of person the woman you love so deeply is. When you had nothing, she couldn't bear the hardship with you, but as soon as you regained control, she couldn't wait to return to your side. Is this kind of woman worth your love?
Bai Xue's sharp gaze made Bai Wanrou shrink back.
"Sister Xue, I've heard about what's happened between you and Yan. Your relationship has been in such disharmony. Why trouble me, trouble yourself, and trouble Yan? Being with someone you don't love will only increase the pain!" She pleaded earnestly.
"Who told you I don't love him? If I didn't, why would I bother marrying him?" Bai Xue didn't hide her feelings for Su Yan this time.
Bai Wanrou was taken aback. She didn't expect Bai Xue to love Su Yan!
The two of them seemed to be incompatible people!
Xu Qiming was somewhat surprised too, surprised that she, always discreet about her feelings, would admit her feelings in front of others.
"But... but Yan doesn't love you!" What if she loved Su Yan? Yan didn't love her! He even hated her! Even if she insisted on being with Yan, they would not be happy!
