36: Chapter 0036: Some Misses Last a Lifetime 36: Chapter 0036: Some Misses Last a Lifetime Su Guyan used the most frequently uttered vocabulary upon reuniting with a former lover, shattering the gloomy atmosphere.
“I’m fine,” Ye Xunhuan tried to appear casual and indifferent as he looked at Su Guyan and spoke, “How about you?”
At this moment, Qin Muge was no longer there; it was just the two of them, so there was no need to hold back anything in their conversation.
Upon hearing Su Guyan’s words, a bitter smile couldn’t help but appear on the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth.
Indeed, how could she not be doing well?
Now, she was wealthy and powerful, living a superior life; how could there possibly be anything wrong?
“You’ve changed a lot, I almost didn’t recognize you just now,” Su Guyan looked at the man who was most important in her life, a man who had directly impacted her entire existence, a man she could never erase from her heart.
Back then, he was full of vitality and youthful energy, but now, after the years had taken their toll, his originally slightly green and tender face had become hard and mature.
His bronze skin and much rougher features subtly revealed a sense of vicissitudes.
Especially those eyes, as if they had experienced vast changes through time, filled with a sense of vicissitudes only seen in the elderly.
That sense of vicissitudes seemed to pierce through worldly affairs and human hearts, yet it desperately concealed its sharpness!
What had he gone through over the years, and how much suffering had he endured?
This kind of vicissitudes seen only in the eyes of the elderly was now present in him.
She had been searching for him for so many years, constantly inquiring about his news, but why did it seem as if he had disappeared from the world, and she couldn’t find out anything!
He must not have had a good time over these years, right?
If it wasn’t for Su Guyan considering the distance between them, she really wanted to hug Ye Xunhuan and burst into tears, asking him where he had been all these years and why she couldn’t find him despite all her efforts, not even a hint of news!
Ye Xunhuan slowly reached out and touched his own face: “I think I’m quite fine this way, but you, you’re still the same as before, still so young, beautiful, and pretty!”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Su Guyan thought he was referring to her leaving him, and a sense of endless pain surged in her heart, her nose beginning to feel sour at that moment, “Xunhuan, I…”
Ye Xunhuan seemed to see through the thoughts deep in Su Guyan’s heart, took a deep breath, and said, “Why did you start cooperating with HuanTu Corporation?”
Seeing Ye Xunhuan changing the subject, Su Guyan was initially stunned, then as if she understood something, she immediately said, “Why, do you mind me cooperating with Qiu Ruoxi?”
“If you do mind, I will stop cooperating with her right away!”
Su Guyan gazed steadily at Ye Xunhuan, her face filled with nervousness and unease, resembling a child looking up at a teacher.
As long as the teacher pointed out a mistake, she would correct it immediately!
Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head: “No, I was just asking casually.”
Honestly, Ye Xunhuan really did not want Su Guyan to have any business dealings with Qiu Ruoxi.
After all, one was an ex, the other was current, and he felt very uncomfortable caught in the middle, but what could he do?
Certainly not tell Su Guyan that he didn’t want to see her cooperating with Qiu Ruoxi and to stop immediately?
He could say that, but in what capacity should he say it?
Subsequently, the two of them fell into silence again.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too awkward, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but pick up the teacup in front of him and gently sip some tea.
“How come you are working at Huangtu Group?”
“A friend of mine works there and asked me to join, and since I had nothing else to do, I just went.” Ye Xunhuan said casually and nonchalantly.
“I heard from Qin Muge that you got into a fight on your very first day at the company!”
Ye Xunhuan gave a bitter smile, “That woman really has a big mouth, telling you about it so quickly!”
Seeing Ye Xunhuan admit it, Su Guyan asked again, “Qiu Ruoxi didn’t give you a hard time, did she?”
“No!” Ye Xunhuan shook his head.
“She’s actually quite nice, she didn’t give me a hard time.”
Ye Xunhuan didn’t badmouth Qiu Ruoxi in front of Su Guyan, after all, she was his wife.
Even if their relationship wasn’t harmonious, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t denigrate his own wife in front of others, especially since this person used to be his girlfriend.
“That’s good, but if Qiu Ruoxi dares to bully you, just tell me, and I’ll help you deal with her!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Guyan, realizing something, suddenly turned pale and hurriedly explained, “Xunhuan, I didn’t mean that, I…”
Having loved Ye Xunhuan for many years, although they ultimately parted ways, Su Guyan understood him and knew that he was a very proud man.
Seeing the anxious Su Guyan in front of him, Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly: “It’s nothing, you’re successful now.
If Qiu Ruoxi ever bullies me in the future, I’ll definitely come to you for help!”
The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, a mix of pain and remorse immediately flashed through Su Guyan’s captivating eyes.
However, she hid it well, and since Ye Xunhuan wasn’t looking at Su Guyan, he didn’t notice her unusual expression.
“When that time comes, make sure you don’t refuse or claim you don’t know me!”
“No, I won’t!” Su Guyan hurriedly shook her head.
“Just let me know, and whatever it is, if I can do it, I will definitely help you!”
Although they had been apart for many years, Su Guyan had not forgotten Ye Xunhuan over the years; in fact, she missed him even more.
It is no exaggeration to say that Su Guyan’s longing for Ye Xunhuan had almost reached a point of obsession.
At the sound of this “thank you,” Su Guyan’s face filled with realization.
When had he ever said “thank you” to her before?
A simple “thank you” had completely stretched the distance between them, making Su Guyan realize that things were no longer as they were; the past was not the present.
She was no longer his someone, and he was no longer her anything.
Both of them were on the same path but had started moving in opposite directions, and they were getting farther and farther apart!
For a moment, Su Guyan’s smile was filled with bitterness, accompanied by a hint of derision.
It was derision toward herself.
She had missed out on him, and it was a miss that would last a lifetime; they could never go back to how it was before.
Thinking about how she and Ye Xunhuan had missed out on each other, Su Guyan felt as though she had lost the most important thing in her life, causing an unbearable pain in her heart.
But she also knew that some opportunities, once missed, are missed forever!
