You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 55 Part 2 

Shen Mingying mistakenly thought Ruan Yu had already made the decision to go to the US with Xu Huaisong and she went ballistic: [When you’re passionately in love, even sacrifice can feel sweet. But can you guarantee it will be the same in the future? Let’s put aside everything else, just think about the kind of life you’ll have. Do you plan to be a bird in a cage for the rest of your life staying in a big house in a foreign country?]

[He comes back to China just to restart his career, but you will have nothing except him in that strange place. There is bound to be friction in your daily life. What would you do if you two had a fight or even your feelings towards each other changed?]

[No offense. You’ll be all by yourself in a foreign country, he may be able to protect you when others bully you, but what if he is the one who bullies you? You can’t bind yourself around one man regardless of reality!]

Shen Mingying was her best friend and certainly would be considered from her angle.

Shen Mingying’s harsh yet well-intended words came abrupt and intense. Ruan Yu hadn’t figured out how to reply to her while Shen Mingying’s messages kept rolling in. Without Ruan Yu noticing it, Xu Huaisong had already come out of the bathroom, drying his wet hair with a towel. He looked at Ruan Yu but didn’t say a word.

Ruan Yu was disturbed by Shen Mingying’s words. When she noticed Xu Huaisong, she was still in a daze and tried to strike a conversation with him: “You’ve done showering?”

Xu Huaisong only answered: “Hm.”

Ruan Yu put down her cell phone and got up to get the blow dryer: “Sit down, I’ll blow your hair dry today.”

Xu Huaisong took a look at her cell phone which kept vibrating on the couch and popping up with new messages. He sat down on a chair.

The noise from the blow dryer masked the sound of the incoming messages.

After drying his hair, Ruan Yu sat down next to him and said: “Huaisong, I have something I want to talk to you……”

“Go shower and rest first.” Xu Huaisong interrupted her: “I have to go to Su City early tomorrow morning for business.”

Ruan Yu didn’t go to the law office with him today and didn’t know how the case was moving along. She was a little taken aback but nodded: “Then we’ll talk after you come back.”

Xu Huaisong seemed really tired and went straight to bed.

Ruan Yu was planning to ask him whether she could go with him the next morning. But when she woke up, he had already left.

A note was left on the nightstand next to the bed: “Breakfast is in the fridge.”

Ruan Yu felt that there was something awkward between them. She didn’t know whether it was because she had a load on her mind or Xu Huaisong had his own problems.

Unable to figure it out, she sent a message to ask him when he would be back. She got an answer from him: [Evening.] She went to the market to buy food for dinner. On her way back, she got a call from Xu Huaisong.

Xu Huaisong: “You aren’t at home?”

“Hrm?” Ruan Yu was surprised: “I’m on my way back from the market. I’m about to go in the elevator now. What’s wrong?”

There was no need for an answer. Ruan Yu soon knew the answer. Xu Huaisong, who should be in Su City, was already back at home. It looked like that he had just arrived.

Ruan Yu was stunned: “Why are you suddenly back?”

“I decided not to go just now.”

Ruan Yu smiled and shook the shopping bags in her hand: “That’s good then. I’ll cook lunch instead.”

Ruan Yu was about to turn to go into the kitchen. Xu Huaisong suddenly came up near her and took the bags and put them on the floor. Then, he embraced her from behind.

It took Ruan Yu by surprise and her heart somehow trembled a little.

Xu Huaisong tightened his arms and buried his chin on her shoulder without making a sound.

Confused, Ruan Yu tilted her head to ask: “What’s going on?”
