Chapter 1057  : Can You Come with Me? (17)

Su Qing stood upright by the side of the road and waited until Qin Jiayan’s car disappeared around the corner of the road before she staggered a step back and leaned against a tree. She slowly slid down against its trunk, squatted on the ground, and buried her face in her palms while sobbing.

Even many years ago, Su Qing had already known that they were not fated to be together, but it was only at this moment, having made such a clean break, that she realized her heart could still wrench in pain over Qin Jiayan.

Jiayan, I’m sorry. I only chose to leave you back then because of how much I wanted you when I was at my wits’ end.

Jiayan, I love you. And it’s because I love you too much that I would rather sacrifice myself than burden you.Jiayan shook his head as he stood on the steps. “Mom, you should go back to bed. I’m going to head upstairs and rest, too.”

Mother Qin nodded and turned to walk back into the bedroom.

With the faint, glowing lights from the stairs, Qin Jiayan saw the streaks of silver hair on his mother’s head. He pondered about how her mind had been fully preoccupied with his affairs ever since his sister had obtained her own happiness. His mother constantly hoped that he would start his own family soon and be living a stable life. He felt his throat tighten, and he suddenly called out, “Mom.”

Mother Qin stopped and smiled lovingly at Qin Jiayan.

Qin Jiayan gulped and, as if he had made up his mind about something, he said, “Could you arrange for me to meet the girls you’ve recently found for me? I have a bit more free time these days.”

When Mother Qin heard this, her smile reached the corners of her eyes, and she immediately said, “Okay!”

Qin Jiayan responded with a warm smile. “Goodnight, mom.”

Qin Jiayan waited until Mother Qin went back into her room before he turned and headed upstairs.

I’ve tortured my mother and myself for a very long time because of the uncertainty of Su Qing. And tonight, I used all my courage and passion again, but I still did not manage to get her back. Perhaps it is really time for me to start over.

Qin Jiayan pushed open the door to his bedroom and walked toward the balcony. As he stared into the pitch-black night outside the window, he said to himself in his heart, “Give up, Jiayan. Goodbye, Su Qing,” while his eyes turned red.
