Capítulo 1613: Chapter 1613: Flustered (Part 1)

Beichuan felt his heartbeat skip two beats, even his breathing dared not to be too forceful.

It was only at this very moment that he realized, he had never truly forgotten her.

“What do you want to say to me?” Su Hongxing noticed Beichuan looking at her without speaking, his gaze somewhat dazed, and she involuntarily avoided his eyes.

She had seen this kind of look in Mo Li before; it was not unfamiliar. Initially, she was quite composed, yet facing Beichuan now made her feel uncomfortable.

Beichuan snapped back to reality, awkwardly looking away: “N-no reason, I just wanted to see you…”

For a moment, he even forgot what he wanted to say to her.

It seemed like nothing he said could change many facts. Some people were a greed he dared not think of in this lifetime.

He turned around and got into the car, an unprecedented sense of panic surging in his heart.

Su Hongxing stood in place, feeling unsettled seeing Beichuan like this. Initially, before coming to see Beichuan, she thought he wanted to discuss other unfortunate matters, but now she knew she had misunderstood.

Seeing Beichuan’s flurry, she softly sighed in her heart, walked to his sports car, and said to him: “Beichuan, drive more carefully. I won’t interfere in the matters between you and Ye Qilan at the business front; you both have your reasons for the rivalry. But I still want to say, I haven’t forgotten how you helped me once. But if our paths differ, we shouldn’t pursue them together. If possible, keep your distance from Xiao Ji.”

Aside from being a bit of a playboy and neglecting his duties, his nature wasn’t bad.

What did past life events have to do with him? He didn’t even remember what happened in the past, and that Beichuan had already been reborn.

Beichuan had helped her more than once during her most difficult times, and she didn’t want him to end in a bad way either.

Beichuan’s heart was in chaos, staring blankly ahead. He ultimately gave up driving, murmuring in defeat, “Su Su, I thought I had already forgotten you…”

He never thought he would be so fixated on a woman, thinking about her for so many years. He thought that with all the girlfriends he had, he had long left Su Hongxing behind.

Su Hongxing was slightly startled, feeling that she had said too much earlier; otherwise, Beichuan wouldn’t suddenly express such words.

She discerned some hints from his earlier gaze, and this inexplicably softened her heart.

“Don’t worry, I won’t cling to you. You’re a mother of two kids, and married, how could I possibly demean myself like that? I just, I just…” even he was surprised that he would be attached to a woman for so many years, as he wasn’t a person for long commitments.

“In the future, you’ll eventually meet a woman who truly moves you. Beichuan, take care.” Su Hongxing stepped back two paces, took one last deep look at Beichuan, and turned to walk towards Qingmu Garden.

Beichuan watched her silhouette, suddenly calling after her, “If that time I wasn’t tempted by another woman, would there have been a possibility between you and me?”

Su Hongxing turned back to look at Beichuan, slowly shaking her head: “I don’t have romantic feelings for you.” Even if she might have forced herself to be with Beichuan back then, they would eventually have parted ways.

Beichuan would still have failed to endure loneliness, and in the end, they would have to go separate paths.

Fortunately, neither of them made the wrong step back then, or else it would have been a road of no return.

“You’re still as straightforward as ever, leaving no room for me.”
