War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 309 Some People Can’t Wait

In everyone’s life, there will always be someone who places you at the top of their heart.

If you haven’t encountered them yet, it only means you haven’t met them, not that they don’t exist.

When Wang Qi arrived, Xue Xianglan gave Tang Yuxiu a meaningful look, "Young Master Tang, we are going to see Gu Yan, are you coming?"

Tang Yuxiu paused for a moment, "No."

Xue Xianglan raised an eyebrow, "That’s rare, have you forgotten about our Gu Yan so quickly?"

"He already went to see her last night, that’s why he’s not even going to the company today."

After hearing Second Young Master Tang’s words, everyone had two words for Young Master Tang, "Repressed Passion."

This side of Young Master Tang is truly rare.

"Then we’ll go see Gu Yan first, let’s go."

...

Gu Yan looked at Yan Shuo, who was sitting by the bedside peeling an apple, and blinked.

He seemed a bit distracted.

This distracted side of Yan Shuo was also very rare. What matter made him so absent-minded that he wasn’t even going to the company?

I heard his company had just started in Jiang City, with a lot of tasks requiring his decision-making.

"Yan Shuo, do you have something to do today?"

"No, nothing."

"I don’t have anything either, you don’t have to specifically keep me company, you can go to work."

Having someone here felt awkward and not as relaxed.

Even if they were relatives, after all these years without seeing each other and barely any interaction, even with an innate familiarity, it’s impossible to truly become familiar all of a sudden.

"It’s okay, I’ve given myself the day off today, it’s good to spend more time with you." He finished peeling the apple and handed it to her, "Eat up."

Gu Yan took it and took a small bite, "Why do I feel a bit flattered?"

Yan Shuo smiled lightly, "You’re really silly, you need to get used to it in the future."

"Oh." Gu Yan nodded and took another bite of the apple, finding it very sweet.

No one had ever peeled an apple for her to eat before, and not a relative at that.

This feeling was novel and very pleasant!

A knock sounded on the door, and the bodyguard’s voice came from outside, "Young Master, it’s Miss’s friends here to see her."

Yan Shuo’s heart gave an involuntary little leap, and he answered smoothly, "Let them in."

The bodyguard opened the door, allowing Wang Qi and Xue Xianglan to enter.

Seeing them, Gu Yan was surprised and delighted, "What brings you here?"

Xue Xianglan and Wang Qi glanced at Yan Shuo, and Yan Shuo understood, getting up, "You guys chat, I’ll step out for a moment."

"Okay."

As Yan Shuo walked past Wang Qi, his pace hesitated imperceptibly.

The feelings from years ago had no conclusion and remained a regret, haunting Yan Shuo for many years.

However, the girl he had once fallen for no longer felt the same for him.

After Yan Shuo left, the three finally loosened up without reservations.

Xue Xianglan quickly rushed to her bedside, gritting her teeth, "You little brat, such a big thing happened and you didn’t tell us? We knew nothing and were blindly worried, it’s such a terrible feeling!"

Listening to her, Gu Yan earnestly recognized her mistake, "I’m sorry, I didn’t think much at the time."

Upon learning of such things, she couldn’t think of anything.

And with things that followed, she was even less inclined to think of anything else.

Additionally, she didn’t want them to know anything and worry even more.

Wang Qi and Xue Xianglan sighed, "Forget it, let’s not discuss those matters. Look at your face now, it’s so off, don’t overthink, taking good care of your health is crucial, recover soon and get discharged sooner."

"I understand."

"You understand, you don’t really understand, making yourself a mess like this."

Xue Xianglan’s heart ached terribly for her, she didn’t know how much pain she had suffered over these years, thinking she could find her own happiness with Tang Yuxiu by her side, but didn’t expect it to end up like this.

It’s a stalemate trapping them where they cannot escape, thus hurting each other inside.

Xue Xianglan would rather she stay alone, walking alone in the crowd, although lonely, not so painful.

"Actually, it’s not that bad..." Gu Yan said softly.

Wang Qi and Xue Xianglan couldn’t help but roll their eyes at her, if that’s not called bad, nothing would be considered bad.

"Always pretending to be strong."

"As if, in front of you, what strength is there to pretend, how tiring."

"As long as you know."

The three of them talked for a long time, discussing many things without touching on any sad topics.

This was Gu Yan’s happiest time in many days.

She understood that even without love, she still had relatives and good friends.

Every person in this world has their own significance.

No one’s life can’t move forward because they’re missing someone.

What she had to do now was slowly forget and gradually let this feeling fade away.

An unforeseen incident with no conclusion will ultimately reach its end.

"By the way, let me tell you, Xiang Lan and that Doctor Xiang are together now." Wang Qi revealed.

Gu Yan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Really? You two finally made it!"

Xue Xianglan smiled, "After missing so many years, if I still didn’t seize it, I’d live in vain. Some people, you can’t wait for, waiting without speaking up could drag on indefinitely."

So now, she and Xiang Linghao were doing very well together.

Wang Qi asked, "Isn’t this something men are supposed to initiate first? If we speak up first, it seems like we’re not cherished."

"Those who truly love you never see it that way, perhaps they’re too cautious about you, and you also hesitate, leading many people to miss each other. So if you truly like someone, be bold and pursue them without fear of rejection."

Even if the outcome isn’t what you desire, at least you’ve tried and fought for it, not getting it would not make you that regretful.

Perhaps they love you back, and that’s the best outcome.

However, if you don’t speak up, there’s only ever one possibility—missing out!

So never hide your feelings, boldly expressing them is the right thing to do.

Wang Qi pondered deeply.

"What, do you like someone?"

Wang Qi didn’t deny it, "Currently, it seems I do, hearing you, I also plan to try once more."

Confessing her feelings to Yan Shuo eight years ago only to be rejected became a knot in her heart.

She thought she didn’t mind, but when facing feelings again, she hesitated.

That’s probably the aftermath from back then.

In the end, noticing that Gu Yan still looked unwell and seemingly more drained than before, Wang Qi and Xue Xianglan decided to stop talking.

"It’s getting late, we’ve talked long enough today, let’s stop here for now. We’ll come and see you again tomorrow, you rest for a while now."

"Okay, you have to come tomorrow; I’m very bored."

"Of course, we’ll definitely come as promised."
