Chapter 164 - Let's Start Over

"I don't have anything to talk to you. Why are you at my parents' place? " Han Yue Xiu glanced at his hand on her arm dangerously. "Are you not letting me go?"

Song Yi obediently released his hand. Before Han Yue Xiu could take another step, Song Yi spoke again. "Han Yue Xiu, please, let me say a few words to you alright?"

Han Yue Xiu opened her mouth to say something. But realizing that her mother was peeking at her through the kitchen, she instinctively shut her mouth. She tossed the bag of snacks on the table then waved her hand to him, gesturing him to follow her out. "If we're going to talk, let's do it somewhere else."

The corner of his mouth curled up as Song Yi watched Han Yue Xiu turned around. He followed her around but his expression darkened when they stopped at the empty staircase. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Didn't you said you wanted to talk? Now talk. I'm giving you five minutes," Han Yue Xiu said. "But if you say something that pisses me off again, I will leave immediately."

Song Yi's expression turned panic when he heard that she was going to leave.

Of course, he knew well what were the words that Han Yue Xiu did not want him to say. The last time that he had said them, didn't he make her displeased?

Song Yi clenched his fist as he was reminded what his friend had reminded him to say. He opened his mouth a few times to say the words but found it hard to say. After a few seconds, the words finally escaped his lips. "Han Yue Xiu, I'm sorry. "

Han Yue Xiu was about to leave after Song Yi had stayed silent for some time when she heard his words. Slowly, she turned around to look at her ex-boss and wondered if her ears were playing tricks on her. "You… what did you say?"

"I'm sorry," he repeated. Song Yi thought that saying the words for the second time felt easier. "I know that I have not apologized for that thing I did the last time. I shouldn't have kissed you without your consent. If I offend you in some kind, I apologize." Song Yi lowered his head.

Han Yue Xiu stared at the man's face for a while as if waiting for him to pull another trick on her.

But looking at his expression, she could tell that he did not come to pull a trick or launch into another speech on why she should date him.

Han Yue Xiu had known Song Yi for a few years, but this was the first time she had seen this expression on his face. Right now, Song Yi had this docile look on his face.

For as long as she had known him, Song Yi was someone that always had this arrogance look on his face. When did he ever have this kind of expression? When did he ever apologize to someone?

This should be the first time she had seen this scene.

After a long silence between them, Han Yue Xiu dropped her gaze. "Apologies accepted."

Song Yi looked up at her with a spark in his eyes. "Really?"

Han Yue Xiu paused and nodded. "Un."

Song Yi was about to lurch forward to hug her, but then he remembered the words that his friend had said to him. In the end, Song Yi had no other choice but to refrain himself. Seeing that the girl was about to leave, Song Yi swiftly called her again. "Han Yue Xiu, wait."

"What? You have something else to say?"

"I know that there are many things that you did not like about me," Song Yi started. "In the past few weeks, I've been doing some thinking. Han Yue Xiu, you said that I bullied you too much. I promised that I won't bully you again. You said that you did not like Fang Meng Ran. Therefore, the last time I went back, I've made it clear to both Miss Fang and my parents that I couldn't be with her."

Han Yue Xiu's eyes widened. She had thought that this man had become normal. But, who would have thought that he would start speaking something crazy again? "You what?"

She did not care that he promised not to bully her again, but Han Yue Xiu was surprised that Song Yi would do such thing to Miss Fang. What if that woman finds her and brings her trouble?

"I've recently sold over my company and am planning to start over. Han Yue Xiu, let's start over, alright? Just like the last time. You and I together, starting up a company from scratch."

"Sorry," Han Yue Xiu let out a long breath. She found that talking with Song Yi was tiring. Whenever they were not working on a project, their mind was never in the same wavelength. "But I don't want to work for you."

"Who said that you will be working for me? I wanted to start a new company with you as my partner. Then, we'll share everything fifty-fifty. I won't have any right to order you around. You can do whatever you like I promise that I will never cross any boundaries between us."

Han Yue Xiu stared at Song Yi in disbelief. A part of herself was tempted by his offer. However, Han Yue Xiu knew that this was too good to be true. First of all, she was not as rich as Song Yi to have that much capital to start a company.

Right now, she can only treat as if Song Yi was speaking gibberish.

She rubbed the space between her brow and said, "Even if I'm interested in starting over a company, I don't have that much capital."

"You don't have to bring in anything. Just your skill is enough."

"You provide your expertise and I'll provide the capital. I've worked with you for the longest time. I know your skill well. You are one of the best people I worked with," Song Yi said. "Just as long as you agree to work together with me, I will agree to any of your terms. If you wanted to stay here in S Country, then we'll start a company here."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. But I'm planning to return to the mid-autumn festival."

Song Yi watched the girl speechlessly.

After all, the reason why he had sold his company was that this girl had told him that she was planning to stay in S Country. If she was planning to return, then why would he bother to sell that company and plan to migrate over to S Country?

"Then," Song Yi quickly spoke again. "Then, we'll start over once we return, alright?"
