Chapter 21: Can We Not Break Up?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a night of indulgence, Su Yunxiu went to work and got off work as usual as if nothing had happened. Lin Qingwan did not mention Xu Mu’s name in front of her, afraid that she would be sad.
It was good to be busy with work every day. She would not have time to think about that person.
Su Yunxiu communicated with the school about the rehearsal. She never expected that the other party would give her the heavy responsibility of leading the dance. While she was grateful, she also attached special importance to this rehearsal.
Before that, she had to settle the matter of accommodation. She never dreamed that it would be so difficult to find a place to stay. She had been house-hunting for a few days, but she had not taken a fancy to any of the places she saw. She lay on the table in the lounge dispiritedly.
Knock knock knock!
When Su Yunxiu heard the knock on the door, she looked up and saw a delivery man holding red roses outside.
She was not the only one in the lounge. Su Yunxiu did not think too much about it and thought that it was for the other teachers. She lowered his head again and continued to look at the photos of the house.
“Who is Su Yunxiu? Please sign for the flowers.”
For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on her, their eyes filled with gossip and excitement.
They were wondering if the boyfriend of the beauty become enlightened. Did he finally learn to be to romance her with flowers?
Su Yunxiu was even more confused. Who would send her flowers?
“Little Su, did your boyfriend send you flowers? How romantic!”
“That’s right! Other than her boyfriend, who else could it be? From the looks of it, there are probably 99 roses.”
“I’m so envious. That person at home doesn’t have such self-awareness.”
Su Yunxiu smiled awkwardly. Someone pulled her up and walked over. The delivery man handed her the flowers and the jewelry box.
“There’s a gift here. Please sign for it too.”
He quickly handed over the flowers and gifts, afraid that she would refuse the items. The shopkeeper had instructed him to deliver them to this lady. Now that the mission was completed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Yunxiu: “Thank you.”
When she saw the familiar jewelry brand, she instantly thought that Lin Qingwan had given it to her because other than those close to her, no one else knew that she liked this brand.
As for Xu Mu… he probably wouldn’t send flowers.
This did not seem like his style. Su Yunxiu guessed this because Xu Mu had once said that sending flowers was too cliché. If he had the time to order flowers, he might as well use it to work.
Moreover, they had already broken up, so there was no point in doing this.
There was a card on the delicate roses. Su Yunxiu’s body stiffened when she saw the handwriting. She was too familiar with the handwriting.
It was Xu Mu!
What did he want to do? They had already broken up, so why did he still send flowers?
In the past, Su Yunxiu would be very happy, but now she only felt disgusted.
At the same time, the phone on the table vibrated. It was an unfamiliar number. Su Yunxiu picked up the call.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Xiuxiu, it’s me.” The man’s voice was sickly hoarse. “Did you receive the flowers? Do you like them?”
“Mr. Xu, we’ve already broken up,” she emphasized again.
“I didn’t agree.” As he spoke, he coughed heavily several times.
Su Yunxiu frowned and subconsciously asked, “Do you have a cold?”
“I think so.” Xu Mu softened his voice, trying to soften her heart. “Xiuxiu, can we not break up? I really like you.”
“Mr. Xu, if you’re sick, go to the hospital. Don’t harass me. I’ve already said everything I need to say. It’s impossible between us.”
“Xiuxiu…”
Before he could finish, Su Yunxiu mercilessly ended the call.
Xu Mu’s already ugly face turned even darker.
“Brother Xu Mu, take some medicine.” Song Yun came in from outside and thoughtfully handed him warm water and pills. “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell again? Let’s go to the hospital.”
Ever since Xu Mu and Su Yunxiu broke up, Song Yun was the happiest. She could finally stand by his side openly.
As long as his family was pressuring him, Xu Mu would be hers sooner or later.
“No need.”
In fact, Xu Mu was not very sick. His expression was ugly after being angered by Su Yunxiu just now. It was just a small cold; he was not ill to the extent of going to the hospital.
Xu Mu asked her, “Why are you here?”
After Song Yun saw him take the medicine, she smiled. “I’m here to talk to you about the company’s collaboration. I wonder if President Xu has the time?”
Upon hearing that it was work, Xu Mu’s attitude changed. His expression became much more serious. He raised his hand and coughed a few times, indicating for her to wait in the study next door.
With Song Yun’s help on the project, he was indeed much more relaxed. The old guards in the company did not dare to say anything.
After Song Yun left, Xu Mu sent her a message using a spare number, but this time, she blocked him again.
Xu Mu was incredulous. After four years of relationship, Xu Mu did not believe that she could be so ruthless.
She was probably still angry these few days. Perhaps she would return to his side after he had coaxed her for a few days. When the time came, he would explain clearly. With Su Yunxiu’s obedient personality, she would definitely understand him.
—-
For several days in a row, Su Yunxiu would receive all kinds of flowers at the same time, and in the afternoon, she would receive dessert and milk tea ordered by Xu Mu.
If she did not take the initiative to contact him, the other party would push his luck even further.
What was he doing now? Compensating?
Su Yunxiu would throw the flowers into the trash can expressionlessly every time. Later on, she would just get the delivery man to throw it into the trash can. There was no need to waste time.
The latter was in a difficult position. After Su Yunxiu reasoned with him and said that he wouldn’t be blamed, he agreed.
Su Yunxiu couldn’t be bothered with the scumbag who had money but no place to use it.
On the way back, Su Yunxiu vaguely heard her name when she passed by the door. She subconsciously stopped and looked inside. Unexpectedly, she met the man’s dark eyes.
The teacher in charge of enrollment saw her passing by and waved at her. “Teacher Su, come in for a while.”
Perhaps it was because Yu Wenci had a natural sense of oppression, she suspected that he was here to cause trouble before she entered.
“Teacher Su, look, this young lady wants to learn Chinese dance and wants to learn under you. But I remember that you’re going to the capital to rehearse next month, so I wanted to arrange for other teachers. In the end, this young lady refused. Come and persuade her.”
“Alright.” Su Yunxiu nodded and looked at Yu Zitong. “You want to learn to dance with me?”
“Yes, I want to study with Teacher Su.”
Su Yunxiu stroked her head and discussed with her in a gentle tone, “But I don’t have much time to teach as I have to go to a rehearsal soon. Why don’t I introduce you to other teachers? They’re all very outstanding dance teachers.”
“No… I just want you.” The girl’s face was stubborn.
She was only in her third year of high school. It was normal for her to be stubborn.
“Yu Zitong!” Yu Wenci scolded from the side.
The little girl glanced at him, with a mixture of fear and grievance.
She subconsciously hid behind Su Yunxiu.
“I’ll give you two choices. One, listen to the registration office’s arrangements. Two, continue learning the piano.”
Yu Zitong grabbed the corner of Su Yunxiu’s shirt and anxiously replied, “No, no, no. I choose one.”
Su Yunxiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She bent down and said, “How about this? When I come back, you can study with me, okay?”
Yu Zitong nodded obediently. “Okay.”
There was no loss. It was just a matter of time.
“That’s great.” Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the teacher from the admissions office clapped excitedly. “Then let’s add each other’s contact details. I’ll send you the price.”
Yu Wenci rejected her flatly. “No need. Teacher Su has already told me.”
Su Yunxiu was puzzled
Yu Wenci continued, “I am W.”
She suddenly realized that the person who had been chatting with her for the past few days was actually Yu Wenci!
She did not think it was him at all.
Su Yunxiu said in surprise, “So it’s you.”
Yu Wenci chuckled. “It’s me.”
Only the teacher beside him looked confused.
What was W? Was this a new secret signal?
