906 You Won’t Have the Chance

Xiao Yu wasn’t a fool. He could feel the scrutinizing gaze of his biological parents when they appeared in front of him, and he could also sense their dissatisfaction with his current situation.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and whispered, “I know you care about me, but I can’t always rely on your protection… I have my own ambitions.”

Time was a strange thing. In the blink of an eye, childhood friends had embarked on different paths. Everyone was moving forward. Han Yin studied while acting, Chu Feng eagerly learned the knowledge of being a manager. Only he seemed to be standing still, living aimlessly.

Xiao Yu felt that he was drifting further away from Shen Hanxing, and he didn’t want this distance to grow larger. He didn’t want to become an ordinary middle-aged man who could only look up at her in self-disgrace when he saw her shining brightly. He couldn’t accept that possibility. He didn’t aspire to reach the heavens in one step or become a young master of a wealthy family. He just wanted to climb higher, find an opportunity to get closer to her, and be able to help her when she needed it. Instead of standing in the shadows, watching her become more radiant or being powerless when she encountered difficulties, unable to offer any a.s.sistance.

Xiao Yu didn’t know how to express this obscure emotion to Shen Hanxing, so he stubbornly kept his head down and said, “I’ve made my decision to go abroad. With the advanced transportation nowadays, we will still meet again.” He smiled casually, “So don’t worry too much about me. I will contact you when I have time. You wouldn’t abandon me as a friend just because I choose to go abroad, right?”

Shen Hanxing’s heart sank. How could she, as a childhood friend, not understand? Xiao Yu’s current expression indicated that he wouldn’t change his mind, and there was a flame burning in his eyes—a flame that represented ambition.

Shen Hanxing was a little dazed. She only wished them not to take the wrong path and live a peaceful and happy life. She had never thought about what they wanted. But she had never thought about what they truly wanted. Since Xiao Yu had made his decision, how could she, as a friend, restrain his wings from soaring?

“Have you told Han Yin and Chu Feng?” Finally, Shen Hanxing loosened her grip and whispered, “If you’re going abroad, there must be a lot of things to take care of, and you won’t be able to come back for a short time. If you don’t inform Han Yin and the others in advance, Han Yin will definitely make a fuss when she finds out.”

Xiao Yu’s smile became more sincere, and he looked at Shen Hanxing. Even though Ji Yan’s cold gaze couldn’t be ignored, Xiao Yu didn’t look away. “I’ll tell them later.” He let his gaze brush over Shen Hanxing’s beautiful wrist and said softly, “The money for this bracelet wasn’t given by them. I saved it myself, hoping that you will be happy and fortunate in the future, with a smooth and bright path ahead.”

This bracelet was quite valuable. For Xiao Yu, who grew up in the slums and couldn’t afford to go to college, it depleted all his savings. He started saving this money when he realized his feelings for Shen Hanxing, thinking that he would save enough to buy a diamond ring and give it to the girl he had liked since childhood. He considered this money as a love fund, the beginning of a beautiful future life. But now… he no longer had the qualification, so he could only offer his blessings as a friend.

Xiao Yu restrained the bitterness in his heart and tried not to lose his composure. He took a gla.s.s of red wine from a pa.s.sing waiter and raised it to Ji Yan, with a sharpness in his eyes that only men understood. “President Ji, I’m entrusting Hanxing to you from now on. Take good care of her. If I find out that you’re treating her poorly…” He paused briefly, then said with a resounding voice, “I will come back and take her away, and you won’t see her again.”

“You won’t have the chance.” Ji Yan’s response was also resolute. How could he let his wife leave him? In this world, no one could make his wife leave him.

Ji Yan and Xiao Yu locked eyes, as if an invisible battle was taking place. They stood their ground, not yielding an inch.

Then, with a bang, their wine gla.s.ses collided, and they both drank the wine in unison, as if making a silent vow.
