  After all, Su Manman had returned that day and asked him about Shi Hanchu’s condition in detail. This meant that she was mentally prepared.

  Moreover, Su Manman wasn’t targeting Shi Hanchu for money.

  Su Manman was born into a wealthy family, so she definitely didn’t lack money……

  Therefore, Su Moqing concluded that Su Manman’s feelings for Shi Hanchu was the most genuine.

  After a few months of being busy with work, Shi Hanchu finally had the time to talk to Su Manman.

  Shi Hanchu invited Su Manman to the restaurant, where he helped taste food for her the first time.

  Su Manman entered the restaurant and saw that it was completely empty, as though it had been specially reserved for a private event. Her little heart was thumping wildly as she asked softly, “Do you think…… Shi Hanchu is going to confess?”


  Dong Dong nodded vigorously. “Of course! Manman…… you’ve finally made it!”


  Su Manman took a deep breath and entered the venue in her high heels……

  When Shi Hanchu saw Su Manman’s slim figure, he got up and pulled open the chair for her.

  “You reserved the entire restaurant……” Su Manman put down her handbag and smiled as she said.

  Shi Hanchu nodded.

  “Why are you making it so grand? Are you going to confess?” Su Manman’s smile had already reached her ears. She had never smiled so happily before.

  “If I confess, Su Manman, what are you going to do next? Will you marry me and give birth to my child?” Shi Hanchu’s voice was slow and steady. “I don’t know if I could keep you company until we grow old. I’m not sure when I’ll die! By chasing after me so loudly and openly, claiming that you want to give birth to my child, are you going to be responsible for yourself? Are you going to be responsible for the child you’re going to give birth to? Have you thought through all of this?”


  Su Manman’s smile gradually disappeared because of Shi Hanchu’s series of questions.

  “Manman……” Shi Hanchu placed his elbow on the dining table and smiled gently. “I like you a lot!”


  Su Manman’s lips parted slightly, and her heart was beating faster. She restrained herself. “Like…… as in between a man and a woman?”


  Shi Hanchu nodded. “Yes, it’s the fondness a man feels towards a woman!”


  Su Manman leaned back in her seat and bit her lip. “Then what kind of nonsense were you asking me just now? Based on what’s happening now, you’re going to confess to me, right?”


  “I know how good you are to me. I’m a human, not a rock. I can feel it! Everything you’ve done is just on point, and it makes me feel very comfortable. I really like to interact with you like this!” There was a hint of a smile on Shi Hanchu’s lips. “But Su Manman, I’m talking about my current situation, so I want to ask you…… have you thought it through?”


  If one liked someone, one had to consider her future options.

  “I find you very strange. Did you hear what Grandpa said…… what Old Master Su said? It’s mainly a knot in your heart. Can’t you work hard to live on for the sake of the person you like and for your child? Why do you only understand what Old Master Su said about leaving descendants or about living only to 35 years old? You’re already 35 years old…… but aren’t you doing fine right here!”


  “I’m still fine here at 35, but I have to be prepared to die at any moment……”


  “Let’s go to Old Master Su’s place together!” Su Manman picked up her bag. “You have a misunderstanding about Old Master Su’s words. Let’s go and ask him in person. He’s always deliberately trying to sound more profound than he actually is!”


  “Manman……”


  “Alright. You said you have to be prepared to die at any moment. Then what if you, Shi Hanchu, are prepared to die but won’t die for a long time? Are you going to live your entire life alone and then die alone because of what Old Master Su said? You’ve already missed your opportunity with Jiang Mingzhu because of your stupidity. Are you going to miss out on me too?”


  Su Manman’s voice was especially loud, so loud that Little Song and the others, who were waiting outside, could hear it.

  “Should we…… go in and take a look?” Dong Dong asked Little Song carefully.

  “It’s better not to go in! Let’s wait and see! Anyway, God Shi won’t fight with Manman!” Little Song said.

  Dong Dong secretly peeked inside. Su Manman had already stood up. “I don’t think the atmosphere is that good……”


  “It’s best that outsiders don’t interfere in matters of the heart!” Little Song pulled her back to the chair and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her mouth.

  Su Manman stared at Shi Hanchu, whose throat was vibrating, but didn’t say a word. She couldn’t hold back her tears and quickly wiped them away with her fingers. “Shi Hanchu, you’re such a coward!”


  After saying that, Su Manman walked out without eating.

  Su Manman, who was walking with gusto, looked up as Dong Dong who was munching on melon seeds……

  “Let’s go!”


  Dong Dong hurriedly put down the melon seeds and told Little Song to tell Shi Hanchu to chase after Su Manman.

  Little Song looked confused. He immediately put down the melon seeds in his hands and ran over to ask Shi Hanchu, “What happened? Weren’t you inviting Manman to a meal? Why did she leave without touching anything?”


  Shi Hanchu picked up the napkin on his lap and slowly placed it on the dining table.

  Her mind was filled with Su Manman’s words……

  “You’ve already missed an opportunity with Jiang Mingzhu because of your stupidity. Are you going to miss out on me too?”


  Was he going to miss out on…… Su Manman?

  Shi Hanchu suddenly looked up at Little Song and smiled at him. “Sit…… have a meal with me!”


  “Ah?” Little Song was a little lost, but he still sat down opposite Shi Hanchu.

  Little Song was anxious about Shi Hanchu and Su Manman’s relationship. “Brother Hanchu, is it okay not to chase after Manman?”


  Shi Hanchu said nothing……

  The server had already started serving the dishes. Seeing that Su Manman, who was sitting opposite Shi Hanchu, had become Little Song, he was a little surprised. However, he still served the dishes professionally, revealing no surprise in his eyes……

  Su Manman was so pissed off by Shi Hanchu that she cried.

  It would be fine if Shi Hanchu didn’t admit that he liked Su Manman, as Su Manman always had ways to make him fall for her……

  But even though he clearly liked her, he treated her just like before, always watching her from afar, but never coming close.

  Perhaps, if she hadn’t pursued him so closely, he wouldn’t even dare to admit that he liked her.

  How could there be such a timid person like Shi Hanchu in this world?

  Once they got home, Su Manman threw her bag onto the sofa, threw off her high heels, and walked towards the bedroom.

  “Manman!” Dong Dong picked up the bag on the floor and called out to Su Manman, only to hear the door slamming.

  Dong Dong then trembled in fear. She placed Su Manman’s bag on the couch and sent Little Song a message, asking him about Shi Hanchu.

  [Little Song: Brother Hanchu is eating well here.]

  Dong dong: ……

  Su Manman was so angry, but Shi Hanchu was still eating well…… What was going on?

  Dong Dong sat down on the sofa and felt that she had put in a lot of effort for Su Manman and Shi Hanchu’s relationship.

  Knowing that Su Manman hadn’t eaten, Dong Dong sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and opened the fridge to prepare supper for her.

  Su Manman didn’t like to eat high-calorie food, so the supper Dong Dong prepared was especially simple—low-fat milk and oatmeal. There was an egg inside, and she added a little honey.

  Half an hour later, Dong Dong brought the supper to the dining table and knocked on the bedroom door. “Manman…… I prepared some oatmeal milk for you!”


  “I don’t want to eat, I’m going to sleep! You can eat it!”


  Through the door, Su Manman’s voice was muffled.
