Chu Siyuan initially just admired Qiao Muer, but after last night, he decided to let go and withdraw.
The younger one is outstanding, and he and Qiao Muer are a perfect match. Although he has a crush on Qiao Muer, he has no interest in destroying other people's feelings.
But after seeing what happened in the conference room this morning, he felt that Qiao Muer was a little too pitiful.
She is an individual first, and only then does she like the girl with less.
If Yue Zheng doesn't even understand this, then he really doesn't deserve to say that he likes this girl.
…
After Chu Siyuan finished speaking, he said no more. He just stood there, looking down at Qiao Muer and waiting quietly for her to digest it.
He didn't know that what he said sounded like he had ulterior motives and was slandering his rival because his love proposal failed.
But only Chu Siyuan himself knows the actual situation.
He just couldn't bear to see a lively girl like Qiao Muer being imprisoned in an invisible cage.
"... Thank you, Senior Chu, I understand." After a long time, Qiao Muer nodded slightly. She didn't express her opinion immediately, but she didn't completely ignore what Chu Siyuan said as he worried.
Chu Siyuan was worried: "Schoolmate, do you really know? I mean..."
"I really understand." Qiao Muer interrupted Chu Siyuan and lowered her eyes to look at her toes without looking at him: "I know what you mean, and thank you... for being willing to be the bad guy at this time."
She was really grateful to Chu Siyuan.
In a situation like her and Yue Zheng, it is extremely rare for her to be able to remain rational and not be attracted by Yue Zheng's perfection at this time, and to be willing to stand in her shoes and help her think.
In fact, Qiao Muer had been in deep entanglement since morning.
Perhaps others would think that she is being pretentious, making trouble, and not knowing how lucky she is.
But life is not always lived for yourself... In the past, the young and ignorant Qiao Muer didn't understand. Her heart and eyes were filled with only An An, whom she loved.
When she grew up, she realized that if a person wants others to truly understand and love him/her, the most important thing is to understand and love himself/herself first.
"I will consider your words carefully. Senior, I'll go up first... Thank you." Qiao Muer did not reveal her inner feelings to Chu Siyuan.
Even though she was disappointed with Yue Zheng, she was not yet ready to confide in another man and tell him bad things about him.
No matter what, even if she is disappointed, the person she loves most in her heart will always be An An.
She... couldn't bear to say anything bad about him.
The brief encounter with Chu Siyuan in the outer corridor during lunch break was like an episode and did not leave too many ripples in Qiao Muer's heart.
No matter what, the matter between her and Yue Zheng is not the focus now. Qiao Muer put all her energy into preparing for her graduation project and thesis.
For the next period of time, she reported to school every day and discussed research with her seniors.
At the end of the day, as promised to Yue Zheng, she went to the imperial court to find him and accompany him after get off work.
Or occasionally she would work overtime with him in the company, while he worked, she would prepare the paper on the side.
Yue Zheng graduated from a top foreign university with skipped grades and had outstanding working ability. He would also help Qiao Muer look at papers and revise topics. It can be said that the two of them were very much in love and had a very sweet relationship for a while.
But this kind of sweetness always makes Qiao Muer feel uneasy.
Everything seemed to be fine, but she always felt inexplicably uneasy.
Just one day before she submitted her thesis for defense, the anxiety that had been accumulating in her heart finally came true. (To be continued)
