Chapter 461 - Give Us A Chance

"You don't have to be scared and there's nothing to be ashamed of even though you are afraid. That's because it's normal to be afraid of something or someone new coming into our lives and that's even more so if we were deeply hurt once before. Some people have the courage to continue trying, but there are also people that lose their confidence and lock themselves up in their shells. I hope you can be brave again and give yourself a chance. Give us a chance. We can get over your insecurities together and I will let time prove to you that as long as you love me, I wouldn't leave you or betray you because I love you. We can grow together and we can also grow old together."

Su An An then smiled, "I am very sure that deep down in your heart, you still have the ability to love. You still know what loves is and you definitely know how to love someone. From the way you subconsciously care for me to the way you looked at me, I know you are someone that knows how to love and someone worthy to love."

Su An An then looked down with a saddened expression, "Besides, you are already hurting me by pushing me away. Even if I am really hurt in the future, that's alright because that's my choice. I want to fight for a chance to have a future with you. Even if I end up getting hurt, at least I tried, and I won't have any regrets. However, if I give up without even trying, then I would definitely regret it because I was a coward and I didn't even try to fight for my own happiness."

"I am sorry…"

Yan Chu spoke with a saddened expression and Su An An thought that she was rejected by him once again so she turned away from him to go back to her room. However, before she could leave, he spoke again.

"I am sorry for hurting you and pushing you away… I am sorry I was a coward…"

Su An An turned around to look at Yan Chu but she was surprised to see that he was already right behind her so she almost ran into him when she turned around. He picked up her hand slowly and he felt that sense of bliss once again. He smiled slightly subconsciously and this time around, he didn't pull his guards up again when he realised that he had smiled.

Su An An couldn't believe what she had heard, so she probed further, "Do you mean that you are not going to push me away anymore?"

"Mm. I won't push you away anymore. I will be brave just like you. " Yan Chu then wiped away the tears that were rolling down from Su An An's eyes.

Su An An smiled brightly as she asked, "So, are you saying…"

Before Su An An could finish her words, Yan Chu spoke in her place, "So, I am saying that let's fight for a future together. So, will you be my girlfriend?"

Su An An beamed as she jumped up and down in excitement, "Of course! Of course!"

When Yan Chu heard Su An An's response, he seemed to have finally gotten a hold of the source of bliss. Hence, he couldn't help but smile like an idiot as he held her hand tightly. Meanwhile, she went into his arms and hugged him tightly. He was stunned at first, but he quickly returned the hug.

Some time later, Yan Chu's stomach growled and that surprised both of them.

"Have you eaten anything today?" Su An An asked hurriedly because she remembered that Yan Chu had gone to work later than usual and had spent the night taking care of her, so he might not have had the time to eat.

"Not yet…" Yan Chu answered with an embarrassed look.

"I'm so sorry!" Su An An then quickly pulled Yan Chu to sit at the table so that they could continue to have their dinner.

Yan Chu smiled once again as he sat, "Let's eat."

"Mm!" Su An An nodded happily and this time around she ate excitedly while not forgetting to pick up some food and put them in Yan Chu's bowl.

Some time later.

After Yan Chu and Su An An had finished their dinner and had finished washing the plates, they sat together on the sofa as they ate the fruits that he had bought and cut.

"How did you and Boss Xi become friends?" Su An An asked as she munched on her slice of apple.

Su An An was curious about how the two of them became friends especially when Mo Xi seemed to be disappearing all the time.

"We met… …" Yan Chu then told Su An An about how he met Mo Xi and everything about his past. He also explained to her why there was a need for people to protect those that were close to Mo Xi.

Yan Chu didn't hide anything from Su An An because since they were going to get together, they had to be honest with one another. He didn't even hide his likes and dislikes, including his love for furry teddy bears that he could cuddle whenever he was down. However, he didn't mention too much about things related to work except for matters that had to do with what he did. It wasn't that he wanted to hide the work matters from her. It was that there were too many technical jargon and matters that would be too hard to explain at once. Besides, work matters should be kept to the people in the company only. So, it would only be right not to talk about it unless there was a need to. Nonetheless, he didn't hide matters about Heinrich Corporation and E's Corporation as well as Poker from her as that was the reason why he was sent here in the first place.
