It’s hard for me, but others will feel just as bad, so why bother?

"Zi Yunsui, please don’t say that anymore. I truly feel so sad because I thought you understood me. I didn’t expect you’d say something like this now. It makes it really hard for me to imagine, and I think it’s perfectly fine for us to be partners and collaborators!"

"If we were to be a couple, I honestly don’t know how to proceed, because in my view, we’re already a perfect match as partners! I don’t want to think too much about other things because overthinking only wraps the soul in an indescribable feeling!"

"That feeling isn’t what I want, and I’m sure it’s not what you want, because doing so would complicate matters, causing changes in our feelings, so why do it?"

"It’s better for us to remain partners. I’ll be the chairman, you can be the general manager, and we can just focus on running the company well! As for other matters, I think keeping it simple and pure is better!"

"This would be good for both you and me, don’t you think?"

"Moreover, I believe our partnership is truly seamless. Our Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company has developed significantly over time, allowing us to offer great benefits and prospects to our employees. Isn’t that a wonderful thing?"

"And I feel that providing for employees is more fulfilling than indulging in personal happiness. That’s how I see it, and I think bringing that happiness to our employees is what I really want to consider!"

"As for my own emotional life, I don’t want to think too much about it anymore. Excessive thinking only wraps the soul in tangled pain, which is how it is for me. So, I hope you can understand and consider this matter from my perspective, okay? Please don’t persist with your own ideas!"

"Because doing so will only make things awkward for both of us. Besides, I believe Candy’s big movie is what we should focus on right now, where both of our energies should be devoted, instead of being distracted by other things. Don’t you think so?" Hua Xiaomo said to Zi Yunsui.

There was an indescribable light in his eyes, and at that moment, he felt he should genuinely be with Candy, doing many things for her.

Including completing the big movie beautifully, providing Candy with a wonderful childhood filled with many beautiful memories.

Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo, speechless.

At that moment, he felt very, very uncomfortable inside. How could Hua Xiaomo reject him so quickly?

He said those words almost without any consideration, making him truly embarrassed and hurt. How much he liked her, how much he loved her!

He didn’t expect Hua Xiaomo to cruelly reject him like this. However, now it looks like being by her side gives him the most advantage, especially since Qi Longbing is no longer in city B. He went home, back to city A.

So now, it’s just him by Hua Xiaomo’s side. But why doesn’t she agree with him? Why doesn’t she agree to get the certificate with him? It makes him feel so sad and distressed. If there really comes a day when he’s with her, he would want to be with her forever, not just as her partner or collaborator.

No! That’s definitely not what he wants!

His true desire is to be with Hua Xiaomo for real, to be with Candy, to be with the mother and daughter forever, to offer them support and happiness. But why is such a wish so hard to fulfill?

And now, Hua Xiaomo is determined, and her decision seems firm. He doesn’t understand what kind of thought is driving Hua Xiaomo, which leaves him feeling especially confused and complicated. He keeps wanting to change her mind, but her thoughts cannot be easily changed!

He finds himself filled with many thoughts, many hesitations, and a kind of incomprehensible feeling. Alright, he doesn’t know what kind of feeling it is, but he feels he should just be with her, that this is true happiness!

"Hua Xiaomo, I’m sorry. If I put pressure on you, I apologize, but please believe I’ll always be on your side. I’m thinking of you, of the child. I’m thinking that you both need someone to rely on, a man to enter deeply into your lives!"

"To bring you happiness, that’s my intention. If my intention makes you feel uncomfortable, then I’m really sorry. But my intentions are good, and I hope you believe I truly want to love you and Candy dearly. For now, I have no other thoughts!"

"But please believe I sincerely want the best for you, and for the child. I truly love you both. Okay, you have rejected me for now, so I understand what I should do. I won’t say such things again, and I hope you can forgive me, alright?"

"I never meant to make things awkward for you; I only wanted to bring you happiness, even if that happiness might be hard for you to accept right away. It’s okay, I’ll continue to love you in secret, to love Candy in secret. I will protect and be good to both of you. This is my thought and my belief right now!"

"I will always stand firm with my thoughts and beliefs. You might say I’m naive, or too foolish to persist in such a feeling, but I’ve already decided this way, and I will never change. Hua Xiaomo, for you, I’m truly willing to give everything," Zi Yunsui said.
