When talking about those past events, Shen Qing's tone was very calm.
On the contrary, Xing Yun felt extremely heavy, as if she saw her own future...
so similar! She is so similar to Shen Qing back then! Kidnapped in the face of her parents, held hostage by the strange eyes of the outside world, when she came to her senses, she had already been pushed onto the gallows in the shell of "marriage".
It wasn't until she finished listening to Shen Qing's story that she realized—that wasn't a real marriage at all!
The original definition of marriage is obviously to build a family with the person you like, share your happiness, comfort you when you are sad, love you when you are hard, and accompany you when you are sick. It is to make yourself live better.
Well, "like" is an important element that cannot be obtained in marriage...
Thinking about it, Xing Yun fell asleep unknowingly, and this sleep was more solid than she originally thought.
Shen Qing also seemed to be sleeping soundly.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Xia Ke and Xu Yiyi rang the doorbell desperately to wake them up.
The combination of these two people together was a bit strange, and after seeing Xing Yun who came to open the door, Xu Yiyi's reaction was even more strange.
"Why are you here?" Her tone was filled with surprise, disappointment, and confusion.
"... Where am I not here?" Xing Yun looked blank.
"No..." Xu Yiyi turned slightly, and pointed to Xia Ke behind her, "Mr. Xia asked for another room by himself last night, didn't he make room for you and Chu Nan?"
Xia Ke rolled her eyes angrily, "How many times have I said that, that man snores while sleeping, I think it's noisy!"
During breakfast, several colleagues who had a good relationship with Xia Ke ran to join him, knocked on the door and learned from Chu Nan that he hadn’t come back all night. At first, everyone thought that there was something wrong with the company and he left early, until When I met him in the breakfast room, I learned that he had asked for another room alone.
Everyone tacitly thought that he was deliberately helping Xing Yun create opportunities, and he has been explaining since then.
It is true that I have said it many times, but Xu Yiyi has never believed it...
"Blame me? That Chu Nan doesn't look like someone who snores while sleeping." Xu Yiyi felt that her doubts were justifiable.
Xia Ke hummed meaningfully, "Haven't you heard that people can't be judged by their appearance?"
"Then you should tell Xing Yun! You don't think it's loud, but she doesn't. It's not like you don't know why she invited Chu Nan here on purpose, because she just wants to..."
Afraid Shen Qing was washing in the bathroom and heard, Xing Yun hurriedly interrupted her, "Stop it!"
"..." The tense and awkward tone was a bit abnormal, Xu Yiyi frowned suspiciously, always feeling that something happened last night.
Subsequent developments made her doubts deepen...
The atmosphere between Xia Ke and Xing Yun was also very strange. When eating lunch together, Xing Yun deliberately chose the seat farthest from Xia Ke. Basically, she always sat next to Xia Ke at company dinners. It is unreasonable to say that it is because her boyfriend wants to avoid suspicion. There is nothing between her and Xia Ke, so why avoid suspicion
During the dinner, the atmosphere was quite normal, but Xu Yiyi found that no matter what Xia Ke said, Xing Yun would ignore it, and would not answer or respond.
If these details can't explain anything, then Xing Yun's performance when everyone is going home after dinner is really obvious...
The first strange person was Xia Ke. When he walked out of the hotel, he reached out his hand to Xing Yun unpreparedly, "Give me the suitcase."
"..." What are you doing? She stared at him puzzled.
That's right, stare.
Since seeing him today, this woman has basically never looked at him directly, and when she has to look at him, she just stares fiercely!
He took a deep breath and said patiently, "I'll take you back."
Everyone is silent.
Countless pairs of eyes swept towards Chu Nan who was standing aside.
With her boyfriend around, it's never the boss's turn to give it away, not to mention that the boss said such things openly, which is very embarrassing.
In normal times, Xing Yun would probably politely decline.
But this time she was only slightly taken aback, and looked at Chu Nan uncomfortably, "Let's go."
"... Mmm." Chu Nan glanced at Shen Qing and nodded.
Then, just like that, they went away!
He actually regarded Shake as air! This is really unlucky!
Seeing that Xing Yun and Chu Nan had gone far away, Xia Ke was still standing there, and the hand that was stretched out towards Xing Yun just now was still in mid-air and did not retract...
Everyone had to pretend to look around.
===================
Although he was still very angry with Xia Ke, Xing Yun almost followed him back...
She really wants to escape!
But, can evasion solve the problem? Facing it bravely and continuing from beginning to end is the way adults deal with things.
It was Chu Nan who said it at the beginning, and she thought he should be the one to speak at the end. What's more, the problems between them can't be solved by just breaking up. He owes her an explanation.
Intuition told Xing Yun that he was indeed planning to make it clear when he sent her home, but depending on the situation, he also found it difficult to speak up.
Along the way, it was very quiet, and no one spoke.
Xing Yun experienced the most difficult two hours in her life so far, until the car stopped at the gate of their community, she couldn't bear it anymore, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
He raised his eyes in surprise, and after a long time, he made a guilty "hmm".
"Let's talk." Hurry up and give her a good time!
"There's something I've been keeping from you. In fact..." Chu Nan licked her lips and mustered up the courage to continue, "Actually, I had a girlfriend before."
"Then what?"
"She's older than me, divorced, with kids, but..."
After waiting for a long time, Xing Yun couldn't help but asked, "But what?"
"But I still love her."
"..."
"When I met her, I was just a bank teller, responsible for the company's business, and I had frequent contact with her. In her eyes, I was just a little brother. The most common thing she said at that time was, 'You are so similar to my brother' .”
"… "younger brother? Do you mean Shako
In Xing Yun's view, Chu Nan and Xia Ke are not alike at all. Although he is the same age, he is much more mature and stable than Xia Ke.
"The one you see now I can say that I exist entirely because of her. In order to look suitable for her in age, I deliberately grew a beard; in order to match my social status, I worked hard to get promoted. With her In the past three years, I have really changed a lot..." Speaking of this, he involuntarily curled the corners of his mouth and gave a slight smile, "True love really can make people better and better."
"...Then why do you want to break up?" According to Xia Ke, the breakup was proposed by Shen Qing, but since he has been with Shen Qing for so long, it is impossible not to know that she did it just because she didn't want to embarrass him.
"She proposed the breakup, and she didn't want me to be in a difficult situation, because my parents couldn't accept that she was divorced and had children."
"..." Sure enough, it was clear, so why let it go
"If she is firm, I can fight to the end with my parents; but if she backs down, how can I force it? Knowing that my parents are likely to find her and say all kinds of ugly things to her, I didn't Reasons force her to bear this." He lowered his head with a lonely expression, "I can only obey her choice."
"So, you are just resisting your parents in a passive way when you come on a blind date? In fact, at the moment you agree to break up, marriage has no meaning for you, it's just completing the task, isn't it?"
"Um… "
"Even if it wasn't me who came that day, you will still develop in depth and marry the other party in the fastest way?"
"… Um."
Xing Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
So far, whether she is angry or hysterical, all she can get in return is just "I'm sorry", which is meaningless.
She could only force herself to calm down, "The reason why you suddenly told me this is because... have you got back together?"
"No."
"No?" Xing Yun was a little surprised, and his voice rose unconsciously.
It's already developed to that point last night, and they didn't get back together
"Yeah." Chu Nan nodded disappointedly, "She said, if I just forget her like this and quickly throw myself into the next relationship, she will regret, be sad, and even regret it; dragged someone into the water, and that kind of behavior disgusted her."
"It's really like what Sister Shen Qing would say..."
"You know?!" Chu Nan looked at her in astonishment.
"..." Xing Yun realized his gaffe.
Although he confessed, he never told her who that ex-girlfriend was, perhaps because he was afraid that she would blame Shen Qing, or maybe because she was afraid that she would have to work in Xia Ke's company in the future, which would be somewhat embarrassing.
No matter what, in short, since he didn't say anything, she didn't need to expose it.
But in the end, she accidentally slipped her mouth...
"When did you know?"
Xing Yun pursed his lips and said frankly, "Last night."
"You..." The only thing that made her see through everything last night was his out-of-control behavior at the door of their room, "Did you see everything last night?"
She nodded silently.
"Sorry, I… "
"I'm sorry or something just to make you feel better, right? It doesn't mean anything to me." Xing Yun interrupted him.
He fell silent, speechless.
Indeed, those injuries have already been caused, and cannot be erased by saying "I'm sorry".
"What are you going to do now?" Xing Yun broke the silence after a long time.
"We..." He hesitated for a while before he could say, "Let's break up."
"Hmm..." She was finally dumped
Suddenly feel relieved, is this the feeling of falling in love
