Chapter 320 - I Have Aged (1/2)

When Xiang Caiping saw that familiar face appear in front of her, she felt it was almost the same as the one in her memory. She was dumbfounded.

In an instant, the cake in her hands dropped onto the ground. The sound of the cake hitting the ground failed to snap her to her senses.

She stared blankly at Su Chenghui. He returned her stare. Compared to his privileged life these past twenty years, Xiang Caiping had clearly gone through considerably more turmoil.

She had aged substantially and did not resemble the soft-spoken and beautiful girl she had been in her youth. He was still able to recognize her immediately. The shock reflected in his eyes was overshadowed by sympathy.

“Caiping? Caiping? What’s happened to you?”

It had been too long since they parted ways and, in Su Chenghui’s heart, Xiang Caiping’s features had become blurry. Despite that, he still remembered her at her most beautiful at the very beginning of their relations.h.i.+p.

Su Chenghui’s words snapped Xiang Caiping out of her trance. She gazed at the man in front of her whom she had practically loved and yearned for her whole life. She helplessly forced a smile and it was a bitter one.

“This is what I look like now.”

When she was returning to Lin City, she figured that she would eventually b.u.mp into Su Chenghui.

She had never thought that day would come so soon. She had felt that she would already be fully prepared for the day when it arrived.

Little did she expect that day would catch her off guard like this.

She originally thought of leaving hastily to escape from the situation. At this moment, however, she was not thinking about making a hasty retreat. She stood there determinedly and fixed her eyes calmly on Su Chenghui.

“I have aged.”

These simple words caught Su Chenghui off guard and his feet felt light. His arms hung limply by his side and his hands trembled slightly.

Xiang Caiping had indeed aged. She was wholly different from how she was more than twenty years ago. She had changed in a way that almost caused him to lose the courage to acknowledge her.

“Caiping, you…”

Su Chenghui tried his best to control his emotions. Despite that, he was still a little reluctant to look at Xiang Caiping. He was afraid that he would lose control.
