Falling for the Best Man, A Second Chance at Love - Chapter 37
Years later, Sheng Moyang encountered other girls he felt a spark with.
But never again did he experience a fateful first meeting like that one.
The one that had dazzled his years to come.
And so, he could never truly forget.
The day Gu Huaichen brought her to meet a group of friends, Shen Xian said to him, “Nice to meet you.”
He chuckled softly.
She would never know that it was, in fact, their third meeting.
A friend’s younger sister had been relentlessly pursuing him for quite some time.
At that gathering, the girl kept pestering him with questions.
Until she asked if he had someone he liked.
With a hint of drunkenness, his gaze instinctively drifted toward Shen Xian.
The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them.
He saw the faint anger simmering in her almond-shaped eyes.
How he wished he could go over and soothe her.
But he had neither the right nor the standing to do so.
All he could do was hide his feelings behind cold rejection.
If they were destined for missed connections, then not disturbing her was his best blessing.
At their third meeting, he felt a lingering unwillingness toward her.
Yet he was utterly powerless.
