Letting Go of Old Love, Opening Up to New Romance - Chapter 18

In the afternoon, when Sheng Boyu appeared at my doorstep, I was truly stunned.

He was dragging a suitcase, looking travel-worn, and his eyes were filled with worry as he gazed at me.

As soon as he entered, he went to the kitchen to boil some hot water and make porridge.

I always felt that his return was too sudden, as if he had some kind of purpose.

Unable to hold back, I asked him, “Why did you suddenly come back? Didn’t you say you might stay in Beijing for good?”

He smiled nonchalantly and said, “The company wanted to sign me, but I refused after looking at the contract.”

I was puzzled, “Why refuse? Don’t you want to release an album?”

Sheng Boyu replied, “The contract had a clause prohibiting relationships for five years, but I can’t wait that long.”

As he spoke, his gaze was deep, and a bright light flashed in his clear eyes.

I remember when I went to the airport to pick him up that day, I just thought, after not seeing him for years, this cousin had grown so tall and handsome.

But now, facing him, I suddenly felt uneasy, and my gaze began to evade.

After a long while, Sheng Boyu took a deep breath, looked at me seriously, and said, “Yingying, I’ve liked you for five years. Will you be my girlfriend?”

I was stunned, and after a moment, I panicked and said, “You’re Yaoyao’s cousin, I need to ask Yaoyao…”

He suddenly held my hand tightly, his gaze soft and smiling, “Do you think she doesn’t know?”

I looked at him in shock and asked, “Don’t you regret it? Such a great opportunity in Beijing.”

He laughed and shook his head, “No regrets. If I miss out on you for a great opportunity, that’s when I’d truly regret.”

At that moment, an indescribable emotion wrapped around my heart.

I looked at him and smiled, “Alright, then let’s be together.”
