Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 317 Believe in me, and believe in yourself
"Thank you, Ruihang. I'll transfer the money for the books to you right away!"

The young man scratched his head sheepishly, "No need, no need. I bought this with a membership card, and it's about to expire. I'd just have to throw it away if I didn't buy it. It's perfect that you guys can use it!"

"That's so embarrassing!"

"Oh, by the way, Sister Qingyan, didn't you want to find an English tutor for Xiaokai? I can do that too. Why don't you let me take care of him? I happen to have time this winter break, and you only need to pay me half the price of outside training institutions!"

Qingyan felt even more embarrassed, "How can that be? You've already helped me so much!"

Swissair insisted, "I was worried you'd look down on me for not having any training experience. Just consider it practice for me!"

"But……"

"Then let's settle on this, Sister Qingyan. I'll go back and start organizing the documents!"

The young man was so enthusiastic that it was impossible to refuse.

Su Wen curled his lip. There was no connection between them, and Su Wen was being unusually attentive. Su Wen knew exactly what this kid was up to. After all, men understand men better.

Feeling bad about it, he treated the young man to coffee at the shop.

Su Wen took the opportunity to go there, preparing to make an example of Su Wen.

"Hey handsome, how's the coffee at our shop?"

Ruihang's gaze remained fixed on Qingyan, so much so that Su Wen called him several times before he snapped out of his daze. "Uh! It tastes good!"

Su Wen glanced at his empty glass and casually urged, "Would you like a refill?"

"No need, thank you!" The young man seemed to realize something and added, "Oh, I'll wait for Sister Qingyan to leave work together!"

"Wait for her? No need!"

"why?"

“We usually go back together!” Su Wen deliberately only said half of the sentence.

The young man looked confused. "Us?"

"Didn't Qingyan tell you? I live with her, so we go to and from get off work together. Is there a problem with that?"

The young man's expression suddenly changed. "You...you're living together?"

Su Wen nodded, "That's a valid interpretation too!"

The young man's handsome face gradually darkened. As if gathering his courage, he suddenly stood up, said nothing, picked up his phone, and left.

Seeing this, Su Wen revealed a victorious smile.

You little brat, trying to steal my girl? You're still too green.

"Where's that boy from earlier?" Qingyan asked Su Wen when she came over and couldn't see him.

Su Wen remained expressionless. "You mean him? He left right after finishing his coffee, saying he was picking up his girlfriend!"

Qingyan, half-believing and half-doubting, took out her phone and said, "I haven't even discussed the tutoring time with him yet!"

Su Wen quickly snatched the phone away. "Leave the tutoring of Xiao Kai's English to me. I'll find you someone experienced. That guy from earlier was obviously unreliable. He has a girlfriend but he was all smiles at you. He's clearly no good. Stay away from people like that. Don't let a few sweet words make you lose yourself!"

Instead of readily agreeing to the call, she said, "How do you know he's not a good person? I think Swiss Air is great, handsome and kind-hearted!"

Su Wen panicked and blurted out, "You, I think you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed!"

After saying that, they both fell silent.

Seeing Qingyan turn and leave with a grim expression, Su Wen realized he had caused trouble. He immediately chased after her and almost got his hand caught in the door of the lounge.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think before I spoke, it wasn't intentional. Actually, what I meant was..." "It doesn't matter. I'm a divorced woman, why should I be afraid of what others say? Besides, what you said isn't wrong, why should I be angry?"

She said she didn't care, but her expression betrayed her.

This is a huge mess. Su Wen isn't good at comforting girls. He was really too impulsive just now. Why did he have to rub salt into her wounds? He deserves to die.

When it was time to leave work, Su Wen wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Qing Yan, but Qing Yan didn't give him that chance. She picked up her bag and left without waiting for him or taking his car.

Su Wen chased after her on the sidewalk in his car, shouting, "Qingyan, get in the car!"

She smiled at him lightly, "No need, someone like me doesn't deserve to ride in your car!"

See, he's angry!
"No, I really acted on impulse. I was afraid you'd be fooled by that kid. I apologize!"

The already narrow sidewalk was completely blocked by his car, with people constantly urging him on and honking their horns. Su Wen had no choice but to drive ahead.

He waited at the entrance of the residential area for quite a while but Qingyan didn't come back. He called her but she didn't answer. He was really worried sick.

Su Wen felt guilty and annoyed, and almost smashed his phone. But he was also quite stubborn, so he sat outside the community and waited until midnight, when he finally saw Qingyan's figure.

"You're back!"

A person suddenly jumped out in the middle of the night, startling Qingyan. "What are you doing here?"

"Wait for you!"

"What are you waiting for me for? I'm not a child!"

Su Wen pulled her back. "Qingyan, I was wrong about what happened today. I sincerely apologize to you again. Please don't hold it against me, okay?"

She sighed helplessly and slowly removed his hand. "Actually, I'm not angry anymore!"

"Then why are you still..."

"I just kept thinking about the past and felt useless and incompetent. I couldn't give Xiaokai a better environment to grow up in. I'm a terrible mother!"

"How can you say that about yourself? Qingyan, we all see what you've done for Xiaokai. The unpleasantness of the past isn't your whole life; it was just a careless choice. From now on, you're starting a new life!" Su Wen grasped her shoulders, bent down slightly, and looked into her eyes, speaking each word firmly and seriously. "You shouldn't be distressed or blame yourself for not being able to provide Xiaokai with a good life. Your strength and courage are, in my opinion, the best gift you can give Xiaokai to experience life. You are also a role model for him to learn from. He should be proud to have a mother like you!"

She asked incredulously, "Really? Really?"

Su Wen nodded vigorously, "Trust me, and trust yourself!"

Perhaps moved, or perhaps excited, Qingyan lost control and threw herself into Su Wen's arms.

Su Wen caught her naturally.

So, are they considered to be together now?

He did not see the man who spoke lightly again until the next day.

He called Qingyan, and she said, "My grandmother back home hasn't been feeling well lately, so I'm coming back to visit her. I'll be going back in a couple of days!"

Oh, I see! Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief. "Is there anything I can help you with? I can..."

"No need, I'm going to get busy!"

"Hello, hello?" Su Wen was hung up on before he could finish speaking.

Never mind, let's wait until she gets back to discuss everything.

Su Wen called Su Ying again.

I wonder how she's been doing at the Xiao family's house lately.

Su Ying had just finished a prenatal education class under Sheng Yu's supervision, and she picked her up behind her back.
