Chapter 15.1

Su Yan was stunned by Bai Xingfan’s words. She was not stupid not to understand what Bai Xingfan meant, and she could feel it by looking into his eyes. But as she couldn’t accept it, she decided to keep a blind eye.

Bai Xingfan was the best man she had met so far. 

He had an excellent family background, he was handsome, gentle, and considerate, had outstanding abilities, and he was young and promising. He was the perfect man in any woman's eyes. However, Su Yan had self-realization, and she knew that she was not worthy of such a heavenly man. So she didn’t dare have any unreasonable thoughts about him from the beginning.

But she was really moved by what he did for her these days, and there would be inadvertent ripples in her heart; after all, no woman could resist the charm of this man.

It's true that she had a crush on him, but that's not enough. So she once again politely declined his offer: "I am not as good as Mr. Bai said. I am just an ordinary woman, and I don't have such high ambitions. I just want to find an ordinary man who shares my desire to love and marry. I don't dare think too much about other things."

"Why, Ms. Su, am I not an ordinary man?" 

Bai Xingfan never thought he would be rejected by a woman because of his prominent family background. Additionally, everything in his life was arranged by the family the moment he was born, in fact, before meeting her, he never even thought that he could marry a girl he likes in his life. Like his fate, his marriage would be arranged by his family, and it was nothing more than a question of which family to marry.

When he met her in Guzhen, the second choice appeared in front of him.

At that time, his parents had already chosen a lady from a family for him. The parents of both parties wanted to introduce them to each other on his grandpa's birthday, but at the birthday banquet that day, when the parents of the woman asked him what kind of girl he liked, he replied: "The younger generation already has their own hearts, so, of course, I also have that thought."

From there, he announced to the public that he didn’t want an arranged marriage.

His parents’ faces were not good, but he didn’t bow his head and faced their stern gazes without changing his expression.

After the banquet was over, his mother came to inquire what he meant by saying those words. 

He said succinctly, "Yes, I said it correctly. If grandpa and grandma had been more determined back then, you would not have been able to marry into the Bai family." 

Mother froze for a moment and couldn’t say anything. 

He said again: "Compared to the original you, she is much better."

Bai Xingfan’s mother’s face was as black as a burnt pot, but she remained silent for a long time. "I know you have been angry with me for so many years, but you are the flesh that fell from me, I..." 

He interrupted his mother: "I don't want to hear that."

His mother pursed her lips and stared at him for a long time, finally saying, "You can make up your own mind about marriage."

He understood that his mother had compromised with him, but to him, it doesn't matter, even if she doesn't compromise, he has to decide for himself.

She was the first woman he desired to date and the first person he truly liked. How could he give her up so easily when he loved her so much? So Bai Xingfan made the decision that he would not be married in this life if he couldn’t marry Su Yan.

Su Yan wasn't anticipating Bai Xingfan to have such a rigid attitude. They had a large gap between them. When she first decided to marry Xie Yu, she didn't realise the importance of this point, but after experiencing a failed relationship and a failed wedding, she thoroughly understood this point.

The right family was the basis for a long-lasting relationship.

She must reject Bai Xingfan's intentions, even though he was truly excellent. She didn't want to make the same mistakes twice, and she also didn't want to rush into the next relationship when the emotional intelligence of the previous one is not yet perfect: "It is a blessing for me that Mr. Bai thinks highly of me, but I am not good enough to merit his praise. You will undoubtedly meet better ones in the future." This time, she was more explicit.

Bai Xingfan didn't say anything.

Su Yan apologised while grinning and offered a blessing, saying, "I and the spring breeze are both passers-by, and you take the autumn water to embrace the galaxy."

I am not a lover, just like the spring breeze, I am a passer-by that inadvertently blows into your life. One day, you will meet your Yingying Qiushui and embrace the bright galaxy with her.

Bai Xingfan: "What if I only want the spring breeze?"

Su Yan replied: "The wind is too loose, insignificant, and not worthy of your favour."

Have a Nice Day!
