Chapter 441 - 441: The Right Person
“I hope it’s as you say. May there be no pain in heaven.”
Zhou Xuan was a little down. “It’s also for Mother that I chose to take over the family’s company. From a young age, I’ve been telling myself silently that I must bring the Zhou Corporation to greater heights and become the largest corporation in Federal City.”
“You’ve done it. You’ve fulfilled your wish. I’m sure your mother would be proud of you. But it’s different for me. I’ve never experienced what motherly love feels like since 1 was a child.”
Shan Yue placed her hand on Zhou Xuan’s shoulder and patted him gently. “I’ve never understood what motherly love feels like. In my memory, there’s only endless slander and training. But it’s also because of this that I’m the person I am now.”
In fact, Shan Yue was telling the truth. Be it Ling Yue or Shan Yue, one was a child who had been carried into an assassin organization since she was young and had no motherly love at all. The other was a child who had been targeted by her mother everywhere. Some only hated Sun Ling.
Therefore, when Zhou Xuan said this, although Shan Yue sympathized with him, she, who had never experienced such an experience, could not empathize.
All Shan Yue could do was do her best to comfort him.
“You have to be optimistic. Some things are long over. You can look back, but don’t ever walk back. What you have now exceeds almost ninety-nine percent of the population of Federal City.”
Shan Yue encouraged Zhou Xuan and tried to help him walk out of his sad memories. “It’s precisely because of this that you have to cherish your current life and the people around you. You have many employees and partners. Actually, you have a lot of company. It’s just that your fast-paced life has made you ignore the people around you.”
“I understand what you’re saying. The onlookers can see more clearly. Only when you’re really in my situation can you understand how helpless 1 felt.”
At this moment, facing Shan Yue, Zhou Xuan said what he had never said from the bottom of his heart. “In this world, only a mother, wife, and daughter need a man to do his best to protect them. Now, the first person in my life is no longer there. In the past, 1 haven’t met a second person who wants me to protect and care about.”
Shan Yue smiled slightly. “The relationship between people will only start after you meet them. You’ll definitely meet someone like your wife, who will accompany you for the rest of your life, in the future. It’s just a matter of time.”
At this point, Zhou Xuan immediately pulled himself together. The disappointment completely faded and he regained his usual confident appearance. “I believe what you said. I also believe that I’ll meet the right person soon.”
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he turned his gaze to Shan Yue’s face. Their eyes met at this moment. As if they had discussed it in advance, neither of them said anything and just stared at each other.
Actually, Shan Yue knew very well that after Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he looked at her. Even a bodyguard at the door could understand what Zhou Xuan meant, let alone Shan Yue.
It seemed to be a sudden scene, but it was already within Shan Yue’s expectations. She had already discovered that her relationship with Zhou Xuan was gradually breaking away from the shackles of friendship and turning towards an even closer relationship.
However, Shan Yue did not deliberately stop this relationship from developing. Instead, she let nature take its course. As the old saying went, what’s yours is ultimately yours. If it’s not yours, it won’t be yours no matter how much you fight for it.
Shan Yue believed that the suitable two would naturally have a chance to be together. It would be impossible for the unsuitable two to get along no matter how much they interacted. At the same time, this was also the reason why she did not avoid developing freely with Zhou Xuan.
“Is President Zhou that confident?”
After a few seconds of looking at each other, Shan Yue slowly opened her red lips. “There have been no signs of this in the past few years. How can you say this with such certainty today?”
“To be honest, I don’t know how to answer you.”
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment and sorted out the thoughts in his mind. After all, he was only talented in business, but he knew nothing about dating..
