You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 55 Part 1

Ruan Yu applied for the passport right after the unpleasant episode last time caused by Xu Huaisong’s misunderstanding about Li Shican.

She had just received the passport yesterday. She was planning to discuss it with Xu Huaisong after today’s meeting at Global Filming when she was certain when the next meeting would take place.

The reason for her to apply for the passport was quite straightforward.

During the days when they were apart, though both of them tried very hard to make accommodations for the time zone differences and the long distance, problems caused by miscommunication still arose. Since she basically could do her work remotely and she had enough money to pay for it, she figured that she could accompany him to the US on his next trip over and come back with him when he’s done with his work.

All she thought about was flying with him back and forth. At the time she was applying for the passport, she totally didn’t consider moving to the US to live.

She knew all along that Xu Huaisong probably had come back to China because of her. He also confirmed it a few days ago when they were still at Su City. However, he seemed quite casual about making this decision from the beginning and subconsciously she also believed that he was just “returning to one’s roots” to make his family happy, therefore she never took it as seriously as Lu Shenglan.

Emotionally, Ruan Yu didn’t like Lu Shenglan’s attitude. But being more sensible, Lu Shenglan’s words at least enlightened her on one thing. – – In the relationship, she had put in far less than Xu Huaisong. In addition, she gradually enjoyed more and more of his caring nature, to be on the receiving end, and had slowly taken it for granted.

Ruan Yu was a person who always looked ahead. She wasn’t particularly distressed over the missing eight years between him and her. Yet everything has two sides. She had gotten over the past but she couldn’t overlook what he might have struggled with in the past.

Ruan Yu was annoyed with herself and took a look at Xu Huaisong who was driving.

He indeed wouldn’t mention those things on his own, but she could have tried to ask him.

Why didn’t she ask?

Xu Huaisong was looking straight ahead: “You got told off at the meeting?”

Ruan Yu shook her head. After a moment of silence, she said: “I’m just thinking, am I……”

“Hum?”

She lowered her head and twisted the hem of her skirt: “Really selfish……”

Xu Huaisong frowned and was about to follow up on the topic. He stopped when he heard the noise of her cell phone vibrating.

Ruan Yu took a look at him and opened her cell phone to find a message from Li Shican: [Forgot to tell you, it looks like Mr. Wei is planning to go abroad soon. You can have peace of mind in the coming days.]

Xu Huaisong glanced over at the chat box and noticed who was sending the message.

Ruan Yu looked up to explain: “He’s telling me that Mr. Wei will be out of the country in the near future.”

Xu Huaisong said: “En.” It seemed that he wanted to continue the previous conversation but gave up on it and asked instead: “What do you want to eat?”

They went home after dinner and Xu Huaisong went to take a shower first.

Ruan Yu huddled on the couch in the living room. Xu Huaisong was in the bathroom for quite a long time. Ruan Yu sent a message to Shen Mingying to briefly mention what she had learned today, though she didn’t go into details about Xu Huaisong’s personal life.

Mingying: [You are not telling me now that you plan to go to the US with him and live there?]

Ruan Yu certainly wouldn’t have made any decision so hastily since it involved the future of her life and her own family. She paused for a moment and was about to reply that she was only considering it. Halfway through typing her answer, Shen Mingying sent over a series of questions: [How long have you two been dating? You’ve been barely dating for two months and half of that time you two are apart. Are you sure you aren’t just being hot-headed? What does he think about this?]

Ruan Yu overlooked the first two questions and only replied: [He’s taking a shower. I haven’t talked with him about it yet.]

Ruan Yu figured that if she mentioned it to him, he probably would simply say “there’s no need” or “it’s impossible.”

Mingying: [How about your family?]

Sofe Jade: [I won’t mention it to them unless I have figured it out myself.]

What Ruan Yu meant was that she hadn’t even made a decision yet, there was no need to bother her parents for it. But Shen Mingying misunderstood her words and thought Ruan Yu meant that she would “act first and report afterwards.”
