After many years of marriage, she was reborn

"Boss Yu, can I…can I take the liberty of asking you a question?"

Su Yao folded her hands together, lowered her head slightly, and asked in a low voice.

When Yu Yifan, who was sitting behind his desk, heard this, he suddenly raised his head from his concentration on the documents.

The pair of eyes that were usually deep and sharp were now wide open, staring closely at the slightly nervous Su Yao, and said loudly: "What? Just say it if you have something to say."

After getting permission, Su Yao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to raise her voice slightly and asked, "Mr. Yu, I want to know...I wonder if I will have the opportunity to go further in the future?"

Yu Yifan smiled and said, "Don't joke, you are still young, and there will be better choices in the future."

He paused, then continued, "I told you, I have someone in my heart."

Su Yao's eyes dimmed instantly, but she still forced a smile and said, "I see, I was abrupt, President Yu, don't worry, I won't mention this matter again in the future."

After saying that, Su Yao turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she reached the door, Yu Yifan suddenly called her: "Wait, Su Yao."

Su Yao stopped and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart: "Mr. Yu, is there anything else?"

Yu Yifan stood up, walked to Su Yao, and looked at her seriously: "You are a very good girl. You will definitely meet someone more suitable for you in the future. Don't waste your time on me, okay?"

Su Yao bit her lip, trying hard to hold back tears: "I see, thank you, President Yu."

Then she opened the door and slowly left.

Yu Yifan looked at her back and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Su Yao returned to her workstation in a daze. She felt as if her heart was stabbed by a needle.

At this time, her cell phone rang. It was Yu's father calling.

Yu's father asked with concern on the phone: "What happened?"

Su Yao couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Father Yu comforted her and said, "Don't cry, Yaoyao. I'll take you out to relax after get off work."

Su Yao stopped crying and said to her father with a choked voice: "Mr. Yu, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay, stop crying. I'll pick you up after get off work. You go to work first."

After get off work, Yu's father drove Su Yao to a high-end restaurant.

Father Yu ordered a table of sumptuous dishes for Su Yao, trying to make her happy.

However, Su Yao was still in a heavy mood, and she could not get over Yifan's rejection.

Father Yu saw what Su Yao was thinking. He patted Su Yao's hand gently and said earnestly, "Yaoyao, you can't force feelings."

"Since Yifan has someone else in his heart, it's hard for him to accept other people."

"You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. Why should you cling to a relationship that has no result?"

Su Yao nodded silently, and Yu's father's words made her feel a little relieved.

Father Yu paused, then continued, "Besides, our Yu family will not treat you unfairly."

"If you want, I can arrange for you to work in other departments of the company, or give you some money to let you pursue your dreams."

Su Yao raised her head and looked at Yu's father, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

She knew that Yu's father was compensating her on behalf of Yu Yifan.

But she didn't want any of this, she just wanted to be with Yu Yifan.

"Mr. Yu, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't want to leave the company, and I don't want to accept your money. I just..." Su Yao hesitated.

Father Yu smiled and said, "I understand your intention, but sometimes letting go is also a kind of love."

"If you really like Yifan, you should make him happy instead of causing him trouble."

Su Yao listened quietly, and her heart began to waver.

Maybe, Yu's father was right, she should let go of this relationship and find her own happiness again.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Come, have a drink with me." Su Yao handed Yu's father a glass of wine.

Father Yu picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Su Yao, and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked at Su Yao with a gratified smile on his face.

"Yaoyao, you are a smart girl. I believe you will be able to find your true happiness. As for Yifan, let time heal everything."

Su Yao nodded slightly, and she seemed to feel a little relieved.

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little dull, suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the silence.

Father Yu frowned slightly, then reached out for the phone and pressed the answer button.

His expression became more and more solemn as the call went on, and his originally relaxed brows were now tightly furrowed together.

Finally, after a few brief responses, he hung up the phone and slowly stood up.

"Something urgent happened at the company, and I need to rush back to deal with it right away. Yaoyao, just take your time eating, don't worry, I've already paid the bill."

As Father Yu spoke, he looked at Su Yao with an apologetic and concerned look.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Su Yao could react, Yu's father turned around and left in a hurry.

After Yu's father left, Su Yao was the only one left at the table.

She sat there quietly, staring at the exquisite food in front of her with somewhat empty eyes, but she had no desire to pick up her chopsticks at all.

For some reason, at this moment, she felt an indescribable sense of loneliness and loss in her heart.

So, she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, raised her head and drank it all.

The spicy alcohol slid down her throat, bringing a burning sensation, but she didn't seem to care.

Then, another cup, two cups... and just like that, Su Yao kept drinking one cup after another.

It was as if he wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol, to drown all his troubles in this endless supply of wine.

Su Yao didn't know how long she had been drinking alone, and gradually, she began to have hallucinations.

The scene in front of Su Yao became blurred, and she saw Yu Yifan, who was walking towards her with a smile.

She stretched out her hand and tried to grab him, but he disappeared in an instant like a phantom.

"Yifan..." Su Yao murmured to herself, tears streaming down her cheeks.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in her ear: "Miss, are you okay?"

Su Yao looked up and saw a strange man with concern in his eyes.

"I...I'm fine." Su Yao shook her head, trying to sober herself up.

"From your appearance, it seems like you have encountered something unhappy."

“If you’re willing to talk, I’d be happy to listen,” the man said softly.

Su Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally started to tell the story between her and Yu Yifan.

The man listened silently, handing her tissues from time to time, "Don't cry, I'm most afraid of girls crying."

"Thank you..." Su Yao wiped her tears and looked up at the man, "I'm much better."

"That's good." The man smiled, "But drinking is harmful to your health, so you should drink less."

"I know..." Su Yao nodded slightly, "I'm just in a bad mood today."

"If you still want to cry, just cry. You will feel better if you vent." The man patted Su Yao's shoulder gently.

Su Yao looked at him gratefully, and the bitterness in her heart seemed to be relieved a little.

“By the way, my name is Lin Chen, and you?” the man introduced himself.

"Su Yao." Su Yao gave her name.

"Nice to meet you, Su Yao." Lin Chen said with a smile, "I hope you can be happier in the future."

"Thank you, Lin Chen." Su Yao also smiled. At this moment, her mood seemed to be much better.
