58 Puppet or Lover? (2/2)

”Neither do I. I'm just-”

”Han Yuan, your five minutes are up.”

Su Lian turns away and opens her car door. ”Have a nice day, Mr. Han. And don't try something like this ever again.” She enters without looking back, leaving him standing alone outside.

He just stares at her white Rolls Royce unsure of the next step he should take.

Rejection.

This is the first time he's everexperienced such a thing.

It was an awful feeling, extremely horrible.

He felt as if he had lost a great battle or went fishing without managing to catch even a tiny fish.

After taking one final look at her car, he walks into his own where two men are waiting.

One of the men is his assistant, Deng Xiao while the other sat with his hands tied as if he had been abducted.

”Let him go and we'll leave.”

Deng Xiao nods his head and cuts the rope tied around the man's wrist before setting him free.

Shortly after, Su Lian's driver stumbles into her car looking visibly exhausted.

”Ms. I-I-”

”It's alright. I've had a long day so just take me home please.”

Resting her head on the back of her seat, she feels devastated, but she was doing this for her son. She couldn't let him have a weak mother.

A pushover.

After managing to convince her self that she made the right choice, Su Lian slowly falls asleep in her drifting car.
