Chapter 5: A Visit from Her First Love (2)
As for Su Jin, she couldn't help but turn back to sneak a peek at him when she arrived at a deserted area. She really wanted to give up on the idea of going to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Unfortunately, fate played a joke on them. When she turned back, she saw a tall and beautiful woman appear beside him. There was even a small child following them.
She naturally recognized them as his wife and son.
The small child held onto his mother with one hand and his father with the other. It was a beautiful picture.
Su Jin felt her eyes hurt. She gritted her teeth and turned around. She called for a taxi and threw this harmonious scene to the back of her mind.
With this trip, she was going to end up as a married woman too.
From then on, both of them would be married. They would each have their own homes to return to.
That would be pretty good.
It really wasn't half-bad.
Su Jin was an orphan.
When she was eight years old, because a car wasn't able to brake in time and was about to run over a tottering toddler at the orphanage, she went to block it.
The toddler was saved while she was sent to the hospital due to her injuries.
After she was discharged from the hospital, the child's mother persuaded her husband to adopt her, so she had a new name: Su Jin.
Su Mubai was the child of her adoptive father and his ex-wife. He was four years older than her.
On the first day Su Jin was brought into the Su family, this youth with a warm smile ran down the stairs and welcomed her with a kind smile, giving her a warm hug.
"Hello, I'm Su Mubai. I'll be your big brother from now on!"
After she grew up, there was a period of time when she changed the way she addressed him and called him 'Mubai' in private.
At that time, she was his lover.
He said that he liked it when she called him 'Mubai'. He said that when she said those two words, it sounded especially pleasant to hear.
However, she lost the right to call him that later. She could only continue to call him 'Big Brother'.
Sitting in the taxi, Su Jin propped her head up with her hand and sighed faintly. Her chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a large rock that weighed a thousand catties. It was so heavy that she could hardly breathe, and her face was still filled with sorrow.
Soon, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Su Jin paid and got out of the car. She shook off the gloominess on her face to make herself appear calm. Inwardly, she wasn't sure if that man would come as promised.
She actually hoped that he would stand her up.
This would then give her an excuse to back out.
"Over here!"
She had just stepped through the door when that man's pleasant voice rang out.
Jin Hengyuan was still dressed in the same clothes he had worn in the morning. When he saw her, he stood up. His tall and handsome figure was exceptionally eye-catching in the quiet resting area.
Many people looked over.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
She went forward to greet him, feeling a little awkward inside.
Sigh, this would be her husband from now on.
Sadly, they were both so unfamiliar with each other.
"I was the one who came early!"
A dried leaf was stuck in her hair. He reached out and plucked it gently with a warm gaze.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" He paused and looked at her seriously. "Are you sure?"
