"Actually, there are many people who match well with you by your side. It’s not just me who will stand by your side; you simply haven’t noticed the other girls. After all, I have been through a lot and I am very mature for you."

"I haven’t married yet, but I already have a child. I’ve had a romantic experience that was very profound for me, and as for you, Zi Yunsui, you actually should have more opportunities. If you are willing to meet other girls, I think you shouldn’t just focus on Ye Xiangxue; you can also get to know other girls."

"Maybe you’ll find many girls who are better than me, okay, perhaps I’m selling myself short by saying this? But actually, I’m not trying to belittle myself. I just want to give everyone a chance, a chance to understand each other better. That’s why I told you to try being together!"

"Do you understand what I mean now? If you do, please treat me and those around you with a little more tolerance, okay? Don’t be so eager to demand anything. Because at least for now, I can’t quickly reach the kind of state you mentioned. I find that impossible!"

"Moreover, I no longer think about marriage. Marriage used to be a dream for me, but now I no longer dream it. I think it’s quite good this way. But in reality, I can’t keep delaying your time; perhaps you are enjoying this love process very much now, but maybe over time, you’ll have further thoughts."

"I think, if I can’t satisfy your thoughts, how would you feel? Actually, I don’t want to spend a long time straightening out such feelings. I’m telling you my thoughts now to remind you in advance, making you think through these issues carefully. Do you think my thoughts really suit you, or do you have other ideas? After all, I don’t want to deceive you!"

"Deep down, what I truly feel, I still want to tell you. Alright, Zi Yunsui, many times, I hope we two still remain such a harmonious team, because I recognize your hard work and excellence in your job. It’s something I value very much. I hope both of us can do a good job, so we can offer others a more stable feeling, what do you think?" Hua Xiaomo said looking at Zi Yunsui. At that moment, he took a long breath. He knew that saying these words might hurt.

But deep down, this is what he truly felt. He also didn’t want to bring her many complex feelings, because they really weren’t necessary, and he hoped Zi Yunsui could truly think through what kind of marriage he needed.

He discovered that for now, he couldn’t provide her with that. Well, let’s just say temporarily. Moreover, he didn’t know if spending time together would cultivate the feeling and state of wanting to get married. She didn’t know either.

But he was willing to give her this chance only because he saw how truly good he was to her, how very much in love he was, wanting to provide her and Candy with a stable future, which is why he gave her this chance.

Yet this could only be an attitude of giving it a try. Whether or not they could be together, if they could ultimately combine to form a family, or if she would let him be her husband, to let him truly care for her, he wasn’t ready to think about that yet.

Because he felt that entering a family required responsibility and to be responsible to those around him. He’d have to think about many things.

With that, he feared he couldn’t shoulder this responsibility; he feared he couldn’t handle this responsibility. Hence, he dared not make promises to her.

Moreover, considering his current state towards her, he felt he hadn’t yet reached that deep love stage. Perhaps liking, yes, there might be, but as for deep love, there didn’t seem to be such a thought yet.

Because currently, he felt there was still a shadow in his heart, and that person was Qi Longbing. He knew that regardless of the situation, he always thought of Qi Longbing, especially pondering what might happen to Qi Longbing in City A?

He always thought like this. It was a very real state, and he didn’t want to deceive himself.

Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo, and there was a glimmer in her eyes. She thought what Hua Xiaomo said made a lot of sense. She also agreed with Hua Xiaomo; indeed, if asked to commit to something now, she surely wouldn’t agree, and as he said, he couldn’t promise her anything either.

He couldn’t promise her anything. Though he wants to get married and get the certificate, he is certain that he wouldn’t wish to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate with him.

In doing so, even if it were to force the other party, it would yield an unspoken resentment.

That’s not something he wants to see, he hopes Hua Xiaomo can truly love him when being together, and that he can genuinely treat her well.

Alright, he surely treats her well, and he hopes he can dedicate himself to her.

Well then, no matter what difficulties they might go through, he believes the two of them would still always be together, still be fine together.

He would still love her. Alright, this is what he thinks in his heart. He feels that love happens in an instant, and maybe when they develop a deeper feeling, he believes she will surely accept him.

She will surely love him more, and he hopes he can genuinely love her and she can be with him, simply fulfilling such an ask, which he believes can certainly often manifest in love, hoping he can provide her with a sense of happiness. Alright, such a sense of happiness is truly important because only by living genuinely happy and joyful will she feel that life is more meaningful.

Then he won’t regret being with him, and won’t regret being friends, dating, even marrying, having children, and doing many meaningful things together.

Alright, currently, he cannot make him have such thoughts yet. He still cannot completely fall in love with him.
