It seems that Master Chang is truly devoted to the young Lady. Two hours later, Su Qingyue finally walked out of the Study Room and saw Chang Haotian still standing wistfully at the door. Her face was calm as she asked, “Does Master Chang have any business with me?” “Nothing much, just wanted to see you.” “If there’s nothing, then I ask Master Chang to please leave.” Chang Haotian’s eyes, like an eagle’s, were fixed steadily on her stunning face, “Qing’er, are you trying to send me back to the yard already? Should I come back later then?” “You know I mean that the Pear Blossom Villa surely has many things waiting for the Estate Owner to handle, you should go back.” Chang Haotian smiled bitterly, “I knew you would send me away. Just think of me as a guest in the manor.” The unspoken intention showed his reluctance to leave. Su Qingyue gestured to Yinzhu, who understood and stepped back. Only then did she say, “Estate Owner, between you and me, it’s simply impossible.” “Why is it impossible?” His face showed some urgency, “Qing’er, you have divorced Xiao Yuchuan, whoever you marry next is your own choice.” “I will not marry you.” Her voice was light and breezy, but it pained him deeply, “Why? In what way am I lesser than Xiao Yuchuan?” “Actually, Master Chang, you are truly excellent. In no way are you inferior to him.” She smiled slightly, “Even if you surpass him in every way, what of it? You have seen it yourself, Su Qingyue does not seek a powerful man, but a man who genuinely cares for and loves me.” He seized her shoulder, “I can too, whatever you want, I will give you! My love for you is truer than Xiao Yuchuan’s, my love for you will never fall short of his!” “No matter how true a heart is, I can only accept one.” She looked at him with eyes full of apology, “I’m sorry, the person I’ve chosen isn’t you.” The stark reality was a heavy blow to him, “Why, five years ago, you didn’t give me a chance, and after five years, you still choose him!” “Five years ago, I lived in the Xiao Family of Wushan Village, you were merely a passerby in my life. When you were not around, I fell in love with Xiao Yuchuan and married him, naturally having no second thoughts.” “But he didn’t trust you, and you separated!” His voice was hoarse with repression, “He doesn’t deserve you! You know how much I regret not seeking you immediately after you saved me back then! Qing’er, we missed our chance once already, every day and night I live in regret, can’t you give me one chance? Just once!” She brushed off his hand indifferently, “Five years later… my and Xiao Yuchuan’s son is already over five years old. A father’s love cannot be replaced.” He knew it, “I knew it was because of Little Ye’er that you returned to Xiao Yuchuan. You clearly aren’t a woman who clings to trifles.” “What trifles?” She laughed, “Not caring about trifles and remarrying? If he wasn’t good, I surely wouldn’t glance at him again. Master Chang, back then, I couldn’t bear being wedged between Xiao Yuchuan and the Xiao couple, nor did I want to make things difficult for him, let alone hinder his future, so I falsely claimed an unclear relationship with you. In truth, everything between us was clean and clear. Our separation was due to unfinished fate. In our lives, Master Chang, you have always been an outsider.” After a pause, she added, “Even for Little Ye’er, no matter how much you try to please him for my sake, you are still not Ye’er’s biological father.”
