Chapter 1314 - 865: In My Plans, There Is You (Part 4)

Su Xiaomeng saw the brother and sister were quite well-behaved, and then said to everyone at the table, "Bai Shunyuan and Su Jin are having an affair!"

"What affair? That’s called love." Bai Sidong immediately corrected Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng widened her eyes and looked at Bai Sidong, "Uncle, you... already know?"

Bai Sidong smiled, then played a card. Xiao Meng looked around again and found that she was treating this as breaking news.

"Mom, did you know too?"

"...Well, your uncle told me."

Bai Sixian seemed to take it calmly now.

"Then... does Grandpa know too?" Su Xiaomeng blinked her eyes again.

"Is Bai Shunyuan’s intention hard to guess? As soon as he entered, he ignored Grandpa and only had eyes for Su Jin, does it need much thought?"

Bai Fengmao said.

Su Xiaomeng was sincerely impressed with Grandpa, truly old in age but young at heart, clear in mind and spirit.

"Then... Shixiu, did you know too?"

"Bai Shunyuan goes to Sydney eight or nine times a year, I guessed it too."

Su Xiaomeng suddenly felt... very disappointed, she thought she was quite perceptive!

Who knew... this group of people pretty much knew about it already, while she was running around like she had found something precious.

"Xiao Jin and Bai Shunyuan are together? Why do I not know!"

Su Chengji jumped out!

Su Xiaomeng slapped her thigh, how could she forget her dad! The father and daughter immediately hugged together, Bai Sixian gave a fierce eye-rolling to both these two, and thought only four words...

Embarrassing! Shameful!

The large living room, at the moment, had only Su Jin and Bai Shunyuan sitting face to face on the afternoon tea wicker chairs by the floor-to-ceiling window. The outside temperature was low, but the sunlight coming through the glass felt exceptionally warm and comfortable.

Sydney’s seasons are exactly opposite to Beijing’s...

"When I returned, Sydney was about to enter summer, and Beijing was a snowy white land again."

Su Jin wore a thin scarf, her gaze calmly fell on the small backyard outside the floor-to-ceiling window, she spoke softly.

"Why are you back again?"

"Asking again and again, can’t you ask something new?" Su Jin looked towards Bai Shunyuan.

"Then tell me, what should I ask you?"

Bai Shunyuan looked at Su Jin, his gaze intense, even more dazzling than the sunlight outside.

"You can ask me, what are my plans... whether I’ll stay in Beijing, go back to Chengdu, or... perhaps go abroad."

"I’m not the least bit curious about what your plans are!"

"Why?"

"Su Jin, you’re just a cold-hearted woman!"

"..."

"Just because... I didn’t accept your proposal?"

"You’re in A University, I’m in Washington, flying domestically and abroad, trying everything to surprise you, wanting to shield you from the wind and rain, wanting to be the type of person you like... I managed with great difficulty to win you over, and then you said you wanted to go study in Sydney, Australia and Washington... haha, again it’s half the globe."

"...Because only Sydney offered me a full scholarship and allowed me to study both undergraduate and master’s, I had no reason not to go."

"Being with me, you can go study wherever you want! Do you need to worry about money? How much is the full scholarship, I can provide it for you!"

"Shunyuan, for the same matter, do we have to endlessly continue arguing like this?"

Bai Shunyuan took a deep breath.

"To me, you are you, I am me... I also want to advise you, your parents are your parents, you are you, if you set aside your family and parents, where would you get the money to support me studying?"

"I was already working at the Yin Family’s U.S. branch!"

"It was an internship, an entire year of internship, do you think I can wait for you a whole year?"

Su Jin remained calm, her beautiful unadorned face shone under the sunlight, producing a kind of clear warmth that people yearn for.

While all the women are pondering what kind of cosmetics to use to make themselves appear flawless at the right occasions, her bare face, circles from years of sleepless nights, faint freckles spread across pale cheeks, and blackheads visible on her nose...

She never cared about how to refine the pores on her face, what shade of lipstick would make her more vibrant, more attractive, never worrying about which bag to carry to match the clothes she wears going out, not even once wore high heels, couldn’t distinguish the brand of perfume, her fingertips rounded from years of typing on keyboards, hands used for writing with pens, have a thick callus on the side of fingers...

As a woman, she’s truly inadequate.

She naturally became what most women referred to as those who don’t understand self-care, don’t know how to pamper themselves, won’t be attracted to men.

Reality proves that what most women believed was not wrong, Su Jin indeed rarely attracted the attention of the opposite sex.

She’s originally a person who is extremely out of sync with the current university environment, work environment.

But...

With her unique personality, she blended into various groups.

And through her actual test scores and abilities, she earned honors and scholarships that left others in admiration.

Every bit of her, Bai Shunyuan saw in her eyes, she didn’t act coy, hence wasn’t pretentious, she didn’t give in, so she was never weak.

So he knows, the current her lacks attention because she’s still in university, but once she steps out and enters society... surely more eyes will be on her.

Bai Shunyuan knows he’s fallen into the path of the Su Family, fallen into the pit of the Su surname.

This woman who makes many men feel ashamed, he thought he could handle, but in reality... his supposed handling was Su Jin’s silent retreat.

"Okay, we won’t discuss this anymore. I just want to tell you, you insisted on going to Sydney and refused to come to Washington, so I willingly ran to Sydney ten times a year! Three years, every Valentine’s Day, your birthday, my birthday, New Year’s, Christmas, etc. ... I tried to be with you as much as possible! You said you didn’t want everyone here to know about our relationship, fearing it would be awkward if we separated in the future. I accepted."

"But it’s been three years, you’re willing to be with me in every way, why not marriage?"

Su Jin lowered her head,

"Bai Shunyuan, do you think because you’ve given so much to me, I should agree to you. Not agreeing means being cold-hearted..."

"..."

"Bai Shunyuan, you should have asked me, asked me what my future plans are, rather than leaving angrily like a child after I refused your proposal."

Su Jin took a deep breath, stood up, picked up her bag and the down coat on the hallway coat rack, and headed out. She paused at the door,

"In my plans... there’s you."

"..."

Bai Shunyuan suddenly felt like he was in an ice cellar.
