"Kang Shaonan, please don't be too pushy, okay? It was you who asked me to give you half a year to adjust before I agreed to postpone the divorce. And you were wrong about one thing. We don't love each other. The moment I knew the truth, I stopped loving you! And there's also... Do you know? I really don't want to see you now, because you are like a mirror to me. Whenever I see you, I will remember everything that happened seven years ago. I can't face you the same way as before!" Yu Xiao said with a cold face, got up and went back to his room, slamming the door shut.
Hearing the muffled sound, Kang Shaonan raised his hand and pressed his brow hard, then he let out a long breath, stood up from the chair, and walked back and forth in the living room a few times in a restless manner. Before Yu Xiao came back, he always thought that no matter what she said, he could remain calm, but after listening to what she just said, he could no longer remain calm. He took a cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, walked to the balcony, looked out the window, took a few puffs, and stabilized his emotions a little. He found his mobile phone and called An An, wanting her to come to his house with Xiao Tong after get off work.
An An was overjoyed when she received Kang Shaonan's call. She hadn't seen her friend for a month, and now she heard that she was home and pregnant with twins. She immediately told Kang Shaonan happily that she didn't need to wait until the end of get off work, and she would ask for leave now and take Xiaotong to their new home immediately.
Hearing An An agree to come over soon, Kang Shaonan felt a little comforted. He put out his cigarette, walked into the restaurant and started to clean up the food on the table.
An An and Xiao Tong arrived very quickly, in less than twenty minutes. Kang Shaonan didn't say much to them. He just hoped that the two of them could chat with Yu Xiao and make her feel a little better. Then he took the car keys and left the house.
As soon as Kang Shaonan left, An An and Xiao Tong opened Yu Xiao's door. Looking at the two good friends in front of him, Yu Xiao was a little surprised, but more moved.
"I say, you little girl, you are so cruel. You left us two alone for a month. We haven't even seen your shadow for thirty days. Do you want us to fall in love with you?" As soon as An An saw Yu Xiao, she rushed over to her with a smile and hugged her tightly in her arms.
"An An..." Hearing An An's words, Yu Xiao's heart was instantly warmed. It was really an honor of her life to make such good friends as An An and Xiao Tong.
"Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much!" An An patted Yu Xiao's back, her eyes reddened.
"I miss you guys too!"
"Hey, I'm here too! Let me hug you too!" Xiaotong on the side jokingly pulled An An aside and reached out to hug Yu Xiao.
The three good friends sat down beside the bed. An An quickly looked around the room and saw the baby crib next to it. She screamed and ran over: "Wow! What a cute bed! Xiaoxiao, did your husband buy it for you?" An An touched the baby crib enviously and asked her friend.
"Yes!" Yu Xiao was too embarrassed to refute, so he just smiled and nodded.
"Did he buy everything in this room?"
"Hmm..." Yu Xiao nodded again.
"Wow, Xiaoxiao, you are so lucky to marry such a considerate and attentive man like Kang Shaonan! I really envy you to death!" An An held Yu Xiao's hand and admired Kang Shaonan from the bottom of her heart.
Yu Xiao looked at his friend and forced a smile, then changed the subject: "An An, how are you and Zhao Chen doing?"
Xiaotong on the side interrupted as soon as she heard Yu Xiao's words: "Xiaoxiao, you don't know, our An An is very avant-garde. She has already made a fait accompli with Vice President Zhao. She is just waiting to hold a baby like a human being. Maybe there are two little balls of meat growing in her belly." Xiaotong couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"Get out! You little stinky girl! Who has done anything fait accompli with him? I was just drunk and slept at his house that day. We are innocent and didn't do anything!" Upon hearing her friend's words, An An immediately explained with a blushing face.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, look at her face, it's almost turned red like an apple, but she still looks innocent! Haha, who are you kidding?"
"You little stinky girl! My innocence is ruined in your hands. Xiaoxiao, you have to believe me, nothing really happened between Zhao Chen and me!" An An became even more anxious when she heard Xiaotong's words.
Seeing An An's anxious look, Yu Xiao's mood also improved a lot. She smiled at her friend and said jokingly, "Whatever happens, happens. I think Vice President Zhao is a good man! He will definitely be a good husband after we get married!"
"Oh, there's really nothing between him and me!" After hearing what Yu Xiao said, An An became even more anxious. She reached out and took out her phone, looking at her two friends angrily and said, "How about I give him a call and you guys listen to what he has to say in person?"
Xiao Tong immediately became interested when he heard An An's words. He slapped his thigh and pointed at An An and said, "Okay, you do it! Then press the hands-free button to avoid further rumors. How about that?"
"Okay, okay, okay! But I tell you, after he clarified it to me, you are not allowed to say anything nonsense anymore!" An An appears to be a very open-minded girl, but deep down she is a very traditional person.
"Hey, stop talking nonsense, just dial the number quickly, and then I'll ask the questions!" Xiao Tong stared at An An's phone with a smile, rubbing his hands together, with an expression of eagerness to try.
An An rolled her eyes at her and dialed Zhao Chen's number without hesitation. The phone was connected soon. An An pressed the speakerphone, and Xiao Tong took it and asked loudly: "Vice President, An An just told us that you and him were innocent that night and did nothing. We want to verify it with you!"
When Zhao Chen heard Xiao Tong's question, he smiled and replied with a sly smile: "Tell An An not to take birth control pills, it's bad for her health. Don't worry, I will be responsible for her!"
"Zhao Chen, you bastard! What nonsense are you talking about?" An An got furious when he heard what Zhao Chen said. He jumped up and tried to snatch the phone from Xiao Tong's hand, but Xiao Tong dodged him quickly.
"An An, President Zhao has already admitted it, why are you still pretending with us! Vice President, when are you planning to marry our An An?" Xiao Tong asked Zhao Chen on the phone while running and laughing.
"I want to marry her tomorrow, but the problem is that she doesn't agree! If you help me convince her today, I will give each of you a red envelope tomorrow!" Zhao Chen listened to the playful noises on the phone and continued to give shocking answers.
"Zhao Chen! You are dead! Just wait for me!" An An shouted angrily.
This stinky man, does he really want to embarrass her like this
Kang Shaonan left home and drove to Shen Yimo's company. Although he grew up in this city, he didn't have many good friends. When he first met Shen Yimo, he felt that he had other intentions towards Yu Xiao, but as he got to know him better, his impression of this rival became better and better. This feeling is like encountering an equally matched opponent on the battlefield. You will not retreat because of his appearance, but will be more motivated.
Shen Yimo, this is the kind of person!
Shen Yimo was a little surprised when he received Kang Shaonan's call, but he was mostly happy! From the time Yu Xiao was kidnapped to now, he had witnessed Kang Shaonan's deep love for Yu Xiao. Not everyone can do it for a man to keep a secret and a promise for seven years!
Kang Shaonan's deep love for Yu Xiao is so moving that he can't help but be moved!
He put aside all the work at hand and waited for Kang Shaonan's arrival.
Kang Shaonan arrived quickly. When he walked into the CEO's office, he saw Shen Yimo standing by the window. He turned around when he heard the door open. The two men smiled at each other.
"I hope my visit today didn't delay your important business?" Kang Shaonan was not polite. He walked to the sofa and sat down with a bottle of Erguotou in his hand.
"If I say there's a delay, will you leave immediately?" Shen Yimo smiled and walked over slowly.
Kang Shaonan also laughed: "I wanted to find someone to chat with, so I came here!"
"How's Xiaoxiao?" Shen Yimo came over with two wine glasses and sat opposite Kang Shaonan.
"She just came back today, and it seems that her mood has recovered pretty well..." Kang Shaonan opened the bottle and poured some into two glasses. Then he raised the glass and clinked it with Shen Yimo, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Then why don't you accompany her and come to talk to me?" The wine was a bit spicy, and Shen Yimo frowned.
"She insisted on divorcing me!"
"Aren't you the leader of a group? Is there no other solution?" Seeing Kang Shaonan's anxious expression, Shen Yimo leaned back into the sofa and asked him with a smile.
"That's why I came to see you!"
"Then let's get divorced! Divorce me and I'll marry her!" Shen Yimo replied with a smile.
Knowing that he was joking with him, Kang Shaonan didn't mind and told the truth directly: "Xiaoxiao is pregnant!"
"Well, this is good news. Why don't you make good use of such a good advantage? Tell me, what did she say to you?" A tough guy like Kang Shaonan would not easily seek help from others unless he suffered a blow.
"She said I was like a mirror. When she saw me, she would remember everything that happened seven years ago. She said she was in pain. In fact, I understand her feelings. I also know that what happened seven years ago was a huge blow to her. I am also prepared for a protracted war. Alas..."
Looking at Kang Shaonan's painful expression, Shen Yimo straightened his face and said, "I'm not surprised at all that she said this. In addition to her, you were also an eyewitness to what happened seven years ago. Others died or left, but you appeared in front of her every day. She couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. But this doesn't mean that this is the main reason why she rejected you. Have you ever thought about why she insisted on divorcing you?"
"She always thought I married her out of pity for her!"
"Have you ever felt sorry for her?"
"Actually... I knew her before the kidnapping seven years ago. Zhuang Junyuan was my best comrade in the army. He and Xiaoxiao lived next door to each other. When Xiaoxiao was in middle school, Junyuan would go to Xiaoxiao's school to pick her up whenever he came back from the army. Once, Junyuan made an appointment with her, but he suddenly had to go out on a mission, so he asked me to pick up Xiaoxiao before leaving. I will never forget that day, when Xiaoxiao appeared in my sight with two pigtails and a dress. At that time, she loved to talk and laugh, and because she didn't see Junyuan, she kept asking me questions. She seemed very cheerful, and she was completely different from the person now. But she was too young at that time, and my good friend was standing next to her, so even if she liked me, she just kept it in her heart." (To be continued)
