Chapter 549 — I'm Sorry, Su Ya

Chen Shutang, Zhou Yanning, Lin Yanhe, Lan Ling, and so many others—a whole string of girls, weaving and tangling through their own fates and lives, left Yang Ce feeling as though he were in a dream. Only upon waking did he realize that he had already hurt Su Ya!

Though Su Ya had said nothing, and indeed seemed not to care about any of it at all, Yang Juehuan's heart was heavy with discomfort!

It was a kind of guilt toward Su Ya. Though what had happened back then was not Yang Ce's fault, Su Ya was not to blame either—she too was a victim!

She could hold fast to her love within that stubborn persistence of hers—so why couldn't he?

Why had he let himself slide into decadence? If not for Chen Shutang and Zhao Ying's urgings, he would probably still be a good-for-nothing small-time thug even now, wouldn't he?

Yet Su Ya had become a dazzling star whom all the world watched—that was the difference between her and him!

This left Yang Xu Tang somewhat flushed after Su Ya's confession: "I'm sorry, Su Ya!"

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Su Ya was taken aback, staring at Yang Ce in astonishment, unable to understand why he had suddenly blurted out an apology!

She was in the middle of confessing to him, and he had suddenly said sorry—however she looked at it, it made Su Ya feel strange inside, as though he had rejected her confession! Nor was Su Ya to blame for thinking so; after all, in real life, when one party confesses and the other replies with an apology, doesn't that mean a rejection?

Su Ya knew that was probably what Yang Yongjin meant—otherwise, what had Yang Ce been doing all this time? He had fooled around with her until she was utterly undone, and only then came out with an apology. Wasn't that practically driving a person to suicide? Still, Su Ya's heart lurched; she cared far too much about Yang Ce!

Every word Yang Juehuan spoke mattered to Su Ya! So after Yang Yan Zhou finished that apology, Su Ya's heart immediately grew uneasy.

"You love me so, loving me as always, and yet I... I have not been able to stay faithful to you alone. I feel rather sorry for that!" Yang Ce sighed and said, "I know you don't blame me, but I still feel a little uncomfortable about it!"

"Yang Ce, actually, let me be honest with you—I have never minded any of that!" Su Ya finally understood why Yang Ce had apologized, and so she said, "I love you, therefore I love all of you! Including the women you love! From beginning to end, that has been my mindset whenever I reached out to Mengyan, Zhiyun, and Jiajia. From the very first time I saw Mengyan and invited her to perform on the same stage, I made my feelings clear! So I have never taken offense, never thought of competing with them for anything—I only wanted to get along well with them!"

This was the first time Su Ya had spoken her heart to Yan so plainly. Before, she had had no chance to say it, nor had she wanted to—everyone got along so well that there was no need for her to say such things, as though she were putting on an air of magnanimity. If that instead provoked Yang Juehuan's distaste, it would be all the worse.

But at this moment, seeing that Yang Ce was the one who could not let it go, Su Ya had no choice but to tell Yang Xu Tang her feelings, half in tears and half in laughter.

"Su Ya, thank you!" How could Yang Ce not know Su Ya's heart? But knowing it was one thing—having come to know it, he felt all the more that he had wronged her! Yang Ce looked at Su Ya, and for a moment did not know what to say.

"What is it? Why are you staring at me?" Su Ya felt a little odd under Yang Ce's gaze.

"Nothing..." Yang Ce sighed. Since Su Ya had already said all that, any further brooding on his part would only spoil the mood, so he smiled again and said, "It's still early. Why don't we do something else?"

"Do what?" Su Ya asked, blushing.

"You know," Yang Hengye said with a smile. "But can you still manage it?"

"Why wouldn't I be able to? Try me and find out?" Su Ya's face flushed even redder...

Upstairs, Chen Shutang, Zhou Yanning, and Lin Yanhe sat gathered around the bed. They had said they were going to rest, but in truth none of them had rested at all—they were all burning with curiosity about what was about to happen between Yang Ce and Su Ya.

"Jiajia, do you think they've started yet?" Chen Shutang glanced at the time on the clock and asked with a smile, "You know more about this sort of thing..."

"How would I know?" Zhou Yanning blushed and said, "Haven't all of you had your first times too? Why ask me?"

"Yan and I are practically an old married couple—there's no atmosphere to speak of, everything just seems to happen naturally, not abrupt like them." Chen Shutang explained, red-faced. "So I can only ask you?"

"Then why not ask Sister Lin?" Zhou Yanning had no sooner said it than she realized—Sister Lin's first time, she probably hadn't even been aware of what was happening.

Sure enough, Lin Yanhe shook her head, blushing furiously: "I was knocked unconscious and dumped in a hotel room back then. How would I know what happened? I lost my virtue in a haze, and I nearly had Yang Ce charged!"

"Haha, thank goodness you later said Yang Ce was your boyfriend—otherwise Yang Ce really would have faced prison!" Recalling the matter, Chen Shutang sighed with emotion. Sometimes so many things hang by a single thought; the slightest deviation and everything turns out utterly differently!

"I was going to give it to him anyway back then. Once I found out it was him, naturally I wasn't going to pursue any responsibility..." Lin Yanhe said, flushing. "So, we'd better ask Jiajia. Only she knows best..."

At that, Chen Shutang and Lin Yanhe turned to look at Zhou Yanning at the same time.

"This... I... Why don't we just go downstairs and take a look? Then we'll know," Zhou Yanning said, somewhat forced into a corner.

"Eavesdropping?" Chen Shutang thought it was a fine idea, but she worried about disturbing Yang Ce and Su Ya.

"That's not very nice, is it? Su Ya has finally come back after so long—if we go bother them, won't Su Ya hate us for it?" Lin Yanhe shook her head; she did not want to go listening at any wall.

"I think so too..." Zhou Yanning began to backpedal.

"Forget it, let's sleep. We'll talk tomorrow!" Chen Shutang also felt it was rather improper, so she pulled Lin Yanhe and Zhou Yanning down onto the bed with her...

But who could truly fall asleep? This was destined to be another sleepless night!

Chen Shutang, Zhou Yanning, and Lin Yanhe lay on the bed without dropping off right away, instead discussing every little moment since they had met Yan. Each of them had a different story, and now, telling them to one another, there was a peculiar relish to it...

In the middle of the night, they finally could not hold back any longer. On tiptoe, the three of them crept out of the bedroom together, went downstairs, and set off toward Yang Ce and Su Ya's room...

How sharp were Yang Juehuan's senses? Not the slightest rustle could escape his ears and eyes!

Hearing the sound, Yang Ce snapped fully awake! But after using his see-through ability to look outside the room, he immediately relaxed...
