Free Web NovelChapter 1767: Chapter 1853: Playing Cupid at Random
"Um... what are you talking about, I can’t understand a word you’re saying!"
Monkey seemed a bit embarrassed, while Peng Yue rolled his eyes at him and said bluntly.
"If you really don’t care, I’m telling you, I’ll let Boss handle it. Anyway, that guy isn’t married yet!"
Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin,
"Come on, Boss is terrible with this kind of thing, you’re just playing matchmaker without a clue!"
Upon hearing that Su Xuan was going to introduce such a beautiful woman to Boss, Monkey certainly wasn’t happy about it. What if Boss found out about this? Wouldn’t he end up alone then? You know, one of the reasons Monkey hasn’t married yet is that he feels he hasn’t met the right woman and is just waiting for her to appear.
Clearly, Monkey had a good impression of this woman and even felt a desire to settle down. Maybe love is just that simple; before the right time, Monkey would meet people who were not necessarily superficial but just not the right match to come together.
"Oh, you’re just pretending! You complain about those you don’t like, accusing them of trapping you, yet when you actually like someone, you put on a show. Stop pretending; otherwise, you’ll really blow it."
Su Xuan clicked his tongue, feeling speechless at this pretense, marveling at how long Monkey could keep up the act in such a situation.
"But I’m kind of nervous, don’t you think she might think I’m showing off on purpose by coming to school?"
Lei was still somewhat worried. When you truly like someone, it’s easy to become anxious. The reason Monkey was anxious was precisely because he cared too much.
"..."
Su Xuan had already been silenced by the absurdity of it all, and just then, he heard a familiar voice.
"Su Xuan, it really is you!"
When he heard this voice, Su Xuan thought it sounded very familiar. He sat up and saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties standing in front of him.
"You are Chen Huan!"
Su Xuan looked at Chen Huan with some uncertainty and asked, while Monkey was also curious, grinning as he recognized her.
"Aren’t you the bride from last time? I attended your wedding!"
This person was none other than Su Xuan’s first love, a classmate from the same school, Chen Huan. Back when they were in Chengdu, Su Xuan and Monkey even attended her wedding, although it had turned out to be quite an unpleasant affair.
Seeing Monkey, Chen Huan also recognized him as one of the big bosses from Honghai, beneath the Su Group.
When Chen Huan married Liu Jian, she realized just how capable and successful her first love, Su Xuan, truly was.
After the wedding, having offended such a prominent figure as Su Xuan, the outcome was predictable. Liu Jian’s family quickly went bankrupt.
Chen Huan’s dreams of a life in luxury shattered almost instantly. After they were dashed, she felt very upset, and Liu Jian became physically abusive, hospitalizing her six times in one year, causing her to age quickly.
In the end, with no other choice, she ended that marriage and returned to live in Subei. Since her college major was education, she took up a position teaching at the school there.
Upon arriving at the school and seeing that statue, her heart was filled with regret. She regretted how she could have chosen such a remarkable man only to then make the foolish decision to pick a scoundrel instead.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Su Xuan at the school today, and seeing the bright and handsome Su Xuan, she felt such deep regret in her heart, regretting how foolish and brainless she had been to throw away something precious for a piece of trash.
Seeing Su Xuan again brought many emotions to the surface for her; seeing such a poised and charming Su Xuan left a bittersweet taste in her heart.
Su Xuan nodded and said to her,
"What a coincidence!"
Now, seeing Chen Huan again, all his previous feelings for her were completely gone. What once was youthful love had truly vanished without a trace.
"Laoer, I’m going to check out your school, soak up the academic atmosphere!"
Monkey stood up and left. Su Xuan rolled his eyes, thinking, "If you’re going to look for Hou Qingyi, just say it; don’t come up with such a ridiculous excuse."
After Monkey left, Su Xuan looked at Chen Huan and smiled lightly.
"How have you been lately?"
Back when they met in Chengdu, Su Xuan still felt some unresolved feelings for Chen Huan, but now, seeing her again, there was truly nothing left. Relationships can be strange like that, making Su Xuan think involuntarily of Pan Chenyu, wondering if he felt the same way about him.
"I..."
With that, tears fell from Chen Huan’s eyes. Looking at Su Xuan, she felt overwhelmed by sadness she could not express; her life had been quite bleak.
After her marriage, beyond suffering domestic violence, she was left with a mountain of debt. Even after the divorce and returning to Subei, her relatives there looked down on her.
"Su Xuan, are you doing well?"
Looking at Su Xuan, Chen Huan asked softly, yearning to turn back time to return to his embrace.
"Haha, same as always, just the usual!"
Su Xuan rubbed his nose, while Chen Huan seemed to summon her courage and looked at him intently, saying:
"Su Xuan, can we start over?"
"Um..."
Su Xuan felt a wave of awkwardness; he never imagined Chen Huan would say something like this to him. Honestly, he never considered such a possibility.
"I was young and naive back then, maybe not knowing how foolish I was until experiencing certain things. Su Xuan, it’s only now that I realize you’ve always been in my heart! Will you take me back?"
"Chen Huan, the past is the past!"
Su Xuan was a bit helpless; regardless of whether Chen Huan’s words were sincere or for other reasons, he couldn’t see himself being with her again.
Chen Huan was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, seemingly unable to understand why they couldn’t return to how things were. After all, back in school, she and Su Xuan had been considered the golden couple.
"Su Xuan, I’m still who I was back then, I’ve never changed!"
Chen Huan was truly unwilling to give up; this was her chance after finally meeting Su Xuan again.
"But I’m not the Su Xuan I was back then anymore!"
