My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 1780

Chapter 1780: 1780

“I bet 5,000 yuan that Huo Mian will change his mind . ” Wei Liao smiled .

“Ahem, me too, Huo Mian will definitely win,” Gao Ran added, confident in Huo Mian’s abilities .

“You guys suck, Rick’s better than that! Huo Mian won’t be able to brainwash him that easily,” Zhu Lingling refuted .

“So, Mrs . Gao, are you betting on Rick?” Tang Chuan laughed .

“Of course I’m not! As Mian’s best friend, I’ll always be on her side . ” Zhu Lingling smiled .

“Ha, I thought you were better than us, I guess not!” Tang Chuan burst out in laughter .

Ni Yang and Chen Jie watched in silence; both of them were a bit shy, so they didn’t join the conversation .

“Yu, where’s Mian?” Grandpa Su suddenly looked towards them and asked .

“Oh… she went to see her friend out, she’ll be back soon . ”

“It seems like something bad happened, is that girl okay?”

The older generation didn’t know what happened; all they saw was a girl leaving in tears, and wondered what in the world could have happened .

“Don’t worry, Huo Mian will deal with it,” Su Yu replied with confidence .

“Good then . ”

Then, Grandpa Su and the others went back to eating, chatting, and playing with the twins .

Rick and Huo Mian walked side by side on the path towards the gates of the Su Estate as countless guards hovered around them .

“Have you really made your decision?”

Rick tilted his head to look at Huo Mian . “You mean between me and Xixi?”

“What else would I be talking about?” Huo Mian replied, clearly unhappy .

“I think so… We’re just not meant to be,” Rick said with a sigh .

“I don’t think so though, everything depends on human effort . We can’t blame our life and bad luck on fate . It’s just avoidance in another form…”

Upon hearing this, Rick remained silent . In his mind, he wasn’t as smart or as articulate as Huo Mian . Therefore, he decided to stop resisting and just let her talk .

“Rick, what do you think is the most important thing in a person’s life?”

Rick slightly froze after hearing Huo Mian’s question; he realized that he actually didn’t know how to answer it .

She continued, “A lot of people think that the most important things are those they cannot have or lost since it was never theirs, to begin with . But I think that’s just reflective of human greed . The truth is, we should treasure what we have now, but not everyone gets that . In the end, they regret what happened after the fact . Some people still think about the woman they loved in their youth when they’re in their sixties or seventies . What’s the point of that?”

“Huo Mian, what are you trying to say? Just say it,” Rick suddenly said .

With a hopeless expression on her face, Huo Mian sighed and continued, “There are more than 6 billion people on this planet, and the chances of two people finding their soulmate and falling in love are next to nothing, so fate’s bound to intervene . Falling in love is hard, Qin Chu and I were apart for seven years, and we’ve been through so much . The only thing I regret today is not being by his side when I had the chance, and now I might never be able to do that . Rick, you can’t fool me, I know you still love Xixi, but you can’t give her what she wants . Therefore, you think the best way to treat her is to let her go and wish her all the best . But to Xixi, you being by her side is the only way she can be happy . It’s just like back when Qin Chu decided to divorce me because of Huo Siqian’s threats . He thought he was doing me a favor, but he wasn’t, because Qin Chu didn’t know that I don’t care about anyone or anything else except for him . I’d rather die before divorcing him… I wanted to be his wife for the rest of my life . ”

“Huo Mian…” Rick said, touched by her words .

“Rick, men and women are different . In relationships, men think that women won’t leave if they still love them, but women think that men will go find them if they still love them . So she decided to run away because you didn’t stop her from leaving…”

“Just tell me, Rick, do you still love Xixi?”
