Chapter 376: Chapter 45: Grab What You Like_2 Chapter 376: Chapter 45: Grab What You Like_2 “So my feelings are feelings, but mine aren’t, is that it?”
“Well, I didn’t force you to marry any specific person!” Chu Anqing argued:
“Besides…
Lin Xian was your blind date!
How, how could you mess with the pairings.”
“Oh cut the act.”
Su Su waved her hand impatiently:
“I’m not blind!
Honestly, if I had known about your little schemes back then, I would never have gone to that blind date.”
“Actually, it’s not like I’m really trying to match you two up, it’s just…
I don’t want that arrogant bitch Zhao Yingjun to get her way!”
Su Su clenched her fists:
“That bitch from MX Company, she’s just too arrogant!
It’s one thing for her to mess with me in the restaurant, but then she has to speed past me in her car, and with a pretty boy in tow, no less!
I can’t stand that condescending look she gives people as if she’s above everyone else!”
“And I can feel it, Zhao Yingjun, she’s targeting me everywhere, always finding fault with me!

…I haven’t done anything to her, so who knows why she’s got such hostility towards me!”
“Sister Yingjun isn’t like that…” “Oh, come on!”
Chu Anqing was about to explain something when Su Su cut her off with a wave of her hand:
“It doesn’t matter what kind of person she is; I just can’t stand seeing her all smug and acting too good for everyone.
She likes Lin Xian, doesn’t she?
Then you go and win him over, start a relationship with him, and make sure that woman eats humble pie!
Hahaha…
Just thinking about her being put in her place makes me so happy!”
“No, no, no!”
Chu Anqing shook her head rapidly, waving her hands:
“This…
This kind of thing is too immoral; I can’t do it.”
“What thing?” Su Su raised an eyebrow:
“Have Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun gotten married?”
“Of course not!”
“Are the two of them dating?
In a relationship?”
“That hasn’t happened either…”
“Then how is that immoral?” Su Su snorted contemptuously, staring into Chu Anqing’s eyes:
“An Qing, tell me honestly, do you like Lin Xian?”
Chu Anqing lifted her head.
Looking directly into Su Su’s eyes…
Finally.
She nodded slightly…
Even though Su Su was her aunt, because they were only four years apart, they had grown up together.
Su Su was like a sister to her, always talking about everything since they were kids.
Even though Chu Anqing always complained about Su Su being unreliable, causing trouble, and being a handful…
Actually, she trusted her “sister-like” aunt very much.
She didn’t lie.
This was the first time she dared to admit this kind of thought in front of someone else.
“Hehe…”
Su Su looked down and chuckled softly.
Her gaze drifted to the drink cup covered with cold beads of condensation, picked up the straw, and stirred the half-melted ice cubes inside, clinking against the glass walls.
Clink, clink, clink…
Like her inner thoughts, like her decisions.
“An Qing…”
After a while.
Su Su sighed, starting to speak softly:
“Your auntie here has lived for over twenty years without ever being in love, without ever liking any man.”
“But I have liked other things, lots of things, pretty clothes, shoes, beautiful cars, houses, limited luxury goods, designer bags, and watches…
I think that feeling is the same as liking a man, right?”
“However, the difference is, there are many clothes, shoes, luxury bags, and such, even if they’re limited editions they’re not limited to just one; but…
every person in this world is unique, regardless of wealth, status, beauty, or height, they’re the only one, there is only one in the whole world.”
“Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian do seem well matched, but there are plenty of women in the world better than Zhao Yingjun, plenty more beautiful, and even more of a match for Lin Xian…
But when it comes to love, it’s not about weighing pros and cons, comparing benefits, or solving puzzles, nor is it a matching game.”
“As your aunt, I’d never encourage you to do anything unethical or shameless, but liking a man who isn’t married, who doesn’t have a girlfriend, it’s not unethical; I’m sure that there are many girls in the world who like Lin Xian at the same time, you’re not the first, nor will you be the last…”
“I’m not trying to preach too much to you, but if there’s any useful, profound, and sincere life lesson I can share with you from my not-so-long life, I believe it’s just one phrase—”
She lifted her head, looking at the bewildered Chu Anqing:
“[Go for it if you like it!]”
“What are you waiting for in this world for things you truly like?
Waiting for your turn?
Waiting for others to give up?
Or waiting for someone to come to you on their own?”
Su Su looked down…
She glanced at the half-drunk beverage, now fully devoid of ice cubes.
With one hand, she picked it up!
The cold liquid hit her throat as she finished it in one go!
Thud!
The glass cup slammed onto the table.
“Ah ha~ Refreshing!”
Su Su’s face regained its usual vigor.

“So, remember what your aunt said, An Qing.”
With a mischievous smile on her face, she stood up from the dining table and pinched Chu Anqing’s smooth cheek:
“Go for it if you like it!”
“What what what are you babbling about…”
Chu Anqing pushed away her aunt’s hand, rubbing her cheek that got pinched:
“You’re crazy, I’m not betting with you anymore!”
“Eh?
Why not bet on something so interesting?
Not betting anymore?”
“Annoying, you’re never serious for a minute.
Have we finished eating?
It’s time to take me home!”
