Love at Its Best Is Being There

[A cool, elegant older woman meets a warmhearted puppy-like young man, an uplifting little guide to starting a business through puppy-dog love] If not for Nan Yu's blunt wake-up call, Chen Luotong would never have understood the loneliness and helplessness of her aging mother. 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 given up her hard-won achievements to pursue her true dream.

"Don't think you can read me. Why would I throw away a promising future to become some kind of medical escort with you, spending all day around a bunch of elderly, weak, and disabled people? For love? Can love put food on the table? Give me a break. You little brat, do you really think I could fall for you?" A flicker of pain and reluctance passed through Chen Luotong's cold gaze. She was afraid she really would fall for this fearless, persistent young man before her. At thirty, she no longer dared to take that gamble. She didn't dare withstand society's judgment and fall for a man seven years her junior, much less give up her well-paid job to start over in a career focused more on public service.

"Whether you love me is your business. Loving you is 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 gave you away a long time ago! 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!"
