Chapter 32 - Su Family, Her Heart Hurts (2) (2/2)

She was stunned. When she raised her head, she saw that handsome man—who had broken her heart several times before—leaning against the door, frowning while looking at her quietly. His black striped shirt was wrapped around his thick and broad body. That stance was one she was most familiar with.

A single glance that felt like tens of thousands of years had passed. Yet, there were countless grievances that made the tip of her nose sting.

“Your eyes are red. What’s wrong? Did Auntie’s condition worsen?”

He strode towards her with a concerned tone.

While suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, Su Jin stood still and asked lightly, as if she was dreaming, “You… Why are you here?”

“I went to the hospital to look for you early in the morning and bumped into Han Tong, who had gone to visit Auntie. She said that you weren’t there because you went home to get your things, so I came straight here.”

It turned out that he had not been home because they had taken another fork in the road again.

“Did you come to find me for something?”

Su Jin did not plan to mention that she had gone to the Su family. That would only add to the conflict.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in for a seat? I’ve waited for you for a long time, and I’m a little thirsty.”

He did not answer and asked another question instead. His expression was cautious.

They were already strangers after all. When had he ever acted like this in the past?

She remained silent and opened the door.

“Come on in. I only have purified water here!”

This water was specially prepared for Musheng. Whenever that child was thirsty, he could not wait for the water to cool down. Therefore, she always prepared small bottles of purified water for him at home.

She took a bottle and handed it to him.

Su Mubai opened it and drank a few mouthfuls. He looked around the small apartment. Although it was small, it was filled with the warmth of home.

Soon, his gaze was attracted to the photos on the wall in the living room. They were all photos of Auntie, Su Jin and Mubai. They all loved taking photos. Back then, he used to be one of them too, but for the past four years, he had gone missing from their lives. However, he had never planned to give up on the position that originally belonged to him.

He slowly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and turned around. His deep eyes focused on Su Jin, who was tidying up the sofa. For a moment, he could not control his emotions. He went forward and hugged her tightly from behind.

“Jin, shall we start anew?”
