Love at Its Best Is Being There

[Cool, sophisticated older woman meets a warm-hearted puppy-like younger man, an inspiring little guide to starting a business through puppy-love devotion] If not for Nan Yu's blunt wake-up call, Chen Luotong would never have understood her aging mother's loneliness and helplessness. If not for Nan Yu's quiet companionship, Chen Luotong would never have known that someone could love her so deeply. If not for Nan Yu's steadfast encouragement, Chen Luotong would never have let go of her accomplishments to pursue her true dream.

"Don't think you can read me. Why would I give up a bright future to become some kind of medical escort with you, spending all day around a bunch of old, weak, and sick people? For love? Can love put food on the table? Don't make me laugh. You little brat, do you really think I'd fall for you?" A trace of pain and reluctance flashed through Chen Luotong's cold gaze. She was afraid she really would fall for this fearless, persistent young man before her. At thirty, she didn't dare take another gamble. She didn't dare face society's judgment and love a man seven years her junior, much less give up her high-paying job to start over in a career devoted more to charity.

"Whether you love me is your business. I love you, and that's mine! Waiting is part of being in love, and you have no right to take that away from me! Take a good look at your heart. Stop pretending to be cold and heartless. Your actions have already given you away! You don't have to love me, but you can't give up on your dream. Until you become an outstanding medical escort, don't even think about pushing me away!"
