An was astonished but Su Yu only replied with a “Yeah”.
But An knew him well. The calmer he looked, the more turbulent he felt inside.
Instead of boiling water to make tea, An walked over and asked, “President Su, who told you this? Was it President Huo?”
“No. Mian would never provoke me with this… I overhead it from Tang Chuan’s wife.”
“Miss Qin Ning? Then… it’s probably true.”
Su Yu smiled but didn’t speak.
“Has the wedding date been determined? I don’t think they’ll have it in the near future. President Huo is big with babies now and wouldn’t want to wear a wedding gown in her current condition,” An mumbled.
“It’s said they’ll have the wedding one month after the boy is born.”
“Oh. It will be very soon. She looks like she’ll be in labor soon…”
An didn’t know the stuff about baby birth but he thought Huo Mian had been pregnant long enough to have the baby soon.
“Boss, don’t be sad. You’ve known President Huo will have the wedding sooner or later… Besides, she’ll have another baby soon.”
“I’m not sad. I’m happy. I’m… happy for her.”
As Su Yu said the words, bitterness rose in his heart.
He didn’t know why he was so sentimental.
On the other day when he ate out with Tang Chuan and his wife, he overheard Qin Ning mention that Mian was choosing a wedding gown.
Su Yu had felt bad instantly. It wasn’t unhappiness, but he wasn’t happy either.
Only he himself knew how complicated his feelings were.
In fact, he had known Qin Chu and Huo Mian’s wedding was postponed by Huo Siqian’s scheme. Now that their third child was about to come, Qin Chu must be considering giving her a wedding; after all, Qin Chu loved her too much not to do it.
But for some reason, whenever Su Yu thought of Huo Mian putting on a wedding gown to be married to another man, he’d feel an unnamed sorrow…
He knew the sorrow came from the fact that he was still deeply in love with her.
He had never changed his love in the past years.
Everyone thought that Su Yu had moved on, but he knew his love for her would only go deeper as time went.
Seeing the sorrow in his boss, An felt bad.
“President Su, maybe we can find an excuse to leave the city before President Huo’s wedding. Didn’t you say you want to go to Finland and see the aurora borealis? I’ll go with you.”
“Forget it. How can I not attend Mian’s wedding? I want to see her happiness.”
Su Yu’s smile was bitter. He wouldn’t have dared to say these words to Tang Chuan and the others because it was immoral to love a married woman.
He could only talk about it with An and gain some comfort.
“Boss, seeing you like this makes me sad…”
An didn’t have any academic background but he knew Su Yu treated him like a family member in the past years. He was sad to see Su Yu’s sorrow.
“I’m fine. I’m just wondering what gift I shall give Mian for her wedding…”
Su Yu’s voice got smaller and he closed his eyes slowly, falling asleep under the effects of the wine he had taken.
With a lump in his throat, An pulled a blanket over Su Yu.
He hadn’t understood how Su Yu felt, but after he fell in love with Lu Yan, he began to know the suffering that came from unrequited love.
Lu Yan was an unreachable goddess for him while Huo Mian was an unreachable moon for Su Yu.
Meanwhile in a beach town off the Atlantic Ocean.
“Psycho Qiao, what gift shall I give to my sister for her wedding?”
