Yao Mei thought for a while and seemed to understand what Jin Hengyuan was referring to. “At that time, Xiao Jin and Mubai were already secretly in love…”

That’s right!

They grew up together and naturally fell in love with each other. In the time that he arrived late, they had already decided that the other was their life partner.

“Like how a waterfront pavilion gets the first moonlight, Su Mubai and Su Jin had the advantage of being close to each other, but their relationship was undeniable.”

Jin Hengyuan sighed helplessly. It was a long sigh.

“To be honest, I lost a little unjustly in this matter. However, I couldn’t snatch her away from him by force. I also knew that doing so might not achieve the result I wanted. Perhaps, it would even backfire.”

“That year, I was 22 years old. I was no longer as willful and reckless as I was when I was young. I weighed the pros and cons for a long time and observed her for a long period of time too. After confirming that she was doing well in the Su family and that Su Mubai treated her well, I resigned myself to fate, gave up on those unrealistic thoughts and went to Shanghai.”

Yao Mei listened quietly. Initially, she didn’t have a good impression of him. Gradually, she realized that his character truly wasn’t bad.

Jin Hengyuan continued, “All these years, I’ve been focusing on my work outside of this city. I always came and left Jia City hastily.”

“This spring festival, I heard from my mother that her distant aunt had gotten rheumatoid arthritis and asked me to bring some medicine for her. It was Grandma Wang.”

“When I was young, Granny Wang taught me how to read. I’m a sentimental person, so I came to visit twice when I was free.”

“On my third visit, she insisted on introducing a partner to me and even showed me a photo. I only agreed to go on the blind date after seeing that it was Su Jin.”

“It was not part of my plan to register our marriage after the blind date. However, it happened. This is an unexpected reward for me.”
