My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Su Nian… I Like You

At the end of the workday, everyone started packing up their stuff to get ready for dinner, Su Nian being no exception. Just as she finished gathering her things, she turned to ask Wei Lan what he planned to eat at noon when a hint of floral fragrance wafted to her nose. Then, a burst of red appeared before her eyes—a big bouquet of roses was thrust in front of her.

Around her, some quiet gasps sounded. Su Nian looked up in shock and saw the person holding the flowers, wearing black-framed glasses, looking scholarly and a bit shy.

He handed the flowers to Su Nian with a bit of embarrassment and then said, “Su Nian, since the first day you arrived at the company, I started to pay attention to you. Later, when I heard that you were President Shen’s girlfriend, I didn’t dare express my feelings. Only now, realizing that those were all misunderstandings, did I muster the courage to confess. I know you’ve had a failed marriage, but please believe that I will stay by your side through the gloom, no matter your past. Su Nian, I want you to know… I like you.”

Still in shock, Su Nian had no idea how to react—it was the first time in her life someone had confessed their love to her!

Although she had been in relationships before, her heart was still pounding as she stared at the blushing roses, not knowing how to respond, and just stood there dumbfounded…

Staring back at the confessing boy, she found herself even more moved.

But then, as if on cue, someone started chanting, and the whole office gathered around, shouting, “Accept him! Accept him! Be together! Be Together!”

Su Nian’s mind was a mess, her usually efficient work persona completely replaced by a flustered, blushing demeanor.

Wei Lan chuckled and nudged her: “Sister Niannian! Say something! This guy’s the department’s top hunk! Song Yang, 26, young, handsome, and capable! Go for it, Sister Niannian!”

Pushed by Wei Lan, Su Nian finally snapped back to reality. Not wanting to appear rude, she hurriedly stood up from her chair, and regaining her wits, gently pushed away the beautiful bouquet, her voice trembling a bit: “Well… I’m sorry I’m not… thinking about remarrying right now…”

Xue Qi immediately chimed in sarcastically, “He’s got a close relationship with President Shen! He wouldn’t be interested in a low-level employee like you!”

Su Nian typically ignored such idle gossip, but in front of this innocent boy, she worried that such words would hurt him, and quickly tried to explain: “No, it’s not that… I…”

Another male colleague patted Song Yang’s shoulder and said, “Look, you scared the girl! She wasn’t prepared at all, no way she’d agree just like that!”

Song Yang still smiled cheerfully at Su Nian, “Su Nian, you don’t need to rush to answer me, I just wanted you to know my feelings. We can get to know each other slowly and you can decide later, but today… please accept these flowers…”

Su Nian’s mind had stopped working; she blankly accepted the flowers, giving everyone a graceful way out.

Hesitating for a moment, Song Yang then said, “How about… I treat you to lunch?”

“Err… no need… I already have plans with friends.” Su Nian gently refused.

Song Yang didn’t press further, scratching his head awkwardly: “Alright, then another day… let’s have a meal together sometime.”

Even though his confession was unsuccessful, his cheerful demeanor remained as if it had been accepted. Perhaps having expressed his feelings made him feel more at ease. He left laughing with his friends, and the crowd dispersed, murmuring.

Su Nian slowly returned to her senses, looking at the big bunch of flowers in her hand, probably expensive, suddenly feeling quite guilty. She’d have to make things clear to Song Yang sometime, to prevent him from wasting more money on her.

For her, as long as her child Haohao was well and by her side, that was enough. She didn’t want to trouble herself with other emotional issues, plus there was a fact she herself was reluctant to admit…

Her heart still held that man.
