At the same time, in the splendid Yaxuan, looking at the time, Yan Tian stood up: "It's not too early today, I should go back too." Xia Huan, what I said was sincere, I hope you can be quiet and think clearly. You still have a long way to go, and the outside world is very big, don't let yourself live in pain for the rest of your life. ”

"Okay, Yanyan, I'll figure it out. ”

Xia Huan stood up, hugged him, and whispered.

Yan Tian patted her on the back and looked at Xia Huan's eyes, which were obviously very bright, but now they were calm and without waves, like a pool of stagnant water, Xia Huan should not be like this, she should be fresh and vibrant, suddenly at this moment she had a feeling that she was not worth it, such a good girl, why did Huo Qingnan pull her into the complicated relationship of the Huo family?

Could it be that when I picked it up, it was just to use it?

After all, Xia Huan hasn't experienced anything, so what kind of mentality should she use to face the future? She persuaded Xia Huan so much, in fact, there was one sentence she didn't say, she was afraid of hurting Xia Huan even more, that is, since Qiao Mengyi is back, what was destined 10 years ago will happen again in 10 years.

If she can't get out early, then it will definitely hurt more than now, and she has experienced the feeling that life is worse than death.

I often hear people say: whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, but if it is a tragedy that can be avoided, it is better to avoid it as soon as possible.

Yan Tian had an idea in her heart, she wanted to find a time to tentatively ask Huo Qingnan's thoughts, if Huo Qingnan didn't say it, then Lu Zichen should know, right? After all, Xia Huan is the only good friend she can talk to, and she is also Xia Huan's only friend, between friends, isn't it just to help each other.

For the sake of friends, it's okay to sacrifice a little.

Xia Huan sent Yan Tian to the door of the villa, watched Yan Tian get into the car, and the car slowly drove out of the gate, until Yan Tian's car disappeared from sight, and she still remained unmoved.

In fact, she understands the meaning of what she said, and she knows it in her heart, but whether she can do it or not, this is not certain, after all, it is one thing to say it, and it is another thing to do it.

Speaking of which, Xia Huan herself couldn't help but feel a little funny, she obviously hated Huo Qingnan, it can be said that she hated him to the core, but who would have thought that she didn't know when she would fall in love with him?

I have never heard that from love to hate, to her it is the other way around, from hate to love!

At the door of the living room, Aunt Zhou stood by the door, looked at the figure in front of the door, sighed slightly, turned around, and walked out with a cloak, "Madam, your hair hasn't dried yet, it's cold this night, don't stand here." ”

"If the wind blows, it's not good to catch a cold. ”

"Aunt Zhou. Xia Huan looked back at him, Aunt Zhou put the cloak on Xia Huan's body and looked at her kindly, Xia Huan suddenly asked: "Aunt Zhou, you used to be Huo Qingnan's servant, and later you were the housekeeper who took care of me in the UK, can you tell me what kind of person you think Huo Qingnan is?"

"Ma'am, this ......."

"Aunt Zhou, I am considered to have grown up with you, and there is no strangeness between us, and now Huo Qingnan is not here, you can say anything. Moreover, no matter where I am, it is Huo Qingnan's territory, so it's nothing. ”

Aunt Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Madam, in fact, since the day you were brought back by Mr. Huo when you were 6 years old, I went to the UK with you the next day, and I didn't come back often during this period, so I rarely came in contact with Mr. Huo's side, and it wasn't until recent years that you were picked up by Huo Qingnan to Jinxiu Yaxuan, and I only met him a few more times." ”

Xia Huan listened, paused and said, "Then everything I did in the UK, are you telling him?"

"Yes. ”

"So in the 16 years I've been in England, what is his reaction every time he hears about me? Do you take the initiative to ask him for a return? Or does he call you and ask you?"

Aunt Zhou suddenly didn't understand Xia Huan's sudden eagerness, but she still said as usual: "Madam, in fact, this ......."

Looking at Aunt Zhou's expression, Xia Huan asked, "Actually, what? ”

"I called Fang Tezhu to tell me these things, and he conveyed them to Mr. Huo, and Mr. Huo's answer was also notified by Fang Tezhu by phone, only a few times, Mr. Huo would ask me, but the number of times he looked for me can be counted on one hand. ”

Hearing this, Xia Huan's heart, which originally had some hope, was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

She stood motionless, her head lowered, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, why did she suddenly care about these problems? From the day she was brought back by Huo Qingnan, she only saw a side face of him, and she was sent to England by Fang Tezhu early the next morning, so far she has been in the UK for 16 years, Huo Qingnan has never contacted her at all, and the two seem to stop on that day, Huo Qingnan asked her name, and then there was no follow-up.

All her affairs in the UK are handled by Fang Yan, she knows this. But she still couldn't help but be curious about Huo Qingnan's thoughts.

In fact, this is just a kind of self-consolation for her.

She always wanted to get closer to Huo Qingnan and understand him better, but every time she didn't get closer, she was stopped by Huo Qingnan, every time she hit a wall, she was tired, her heart was tired, why did she squeeze into the world that she couldn't squeeze into?

Looking at the dark night sky, the stars in the sky blinked, so bright, so bright. But her eyes couldn't light up.

Sighing slightly, he turned around and strode into the living room, went directly to the bedroom on the second floor without hesitation, washed in an orderly manner, and then went to bed.

This night, in the first half of the night, she slept well, but in the second half of the night, she kept frowning and had a bad dream, in the dream, Huo Qingnan circled Qiao Mengyi and stood at the door of Splendid Yaxuan, but she stood at the bottom of the steps like a child that no one wanted, she saw Huo Qingnan looking at Qiao Mengyi's eyes, gently dripping water, and then when she looked at her, it was cold and piercing, she heard Huo Qingnan say: " The woman I love the most is back, you should disappear, and soon, she was taken away by two bodyguards, where did she go, she didn't know, but her eyes kept looking at the figures of the two people at the door. ”

At that moment, she felt that the end of the world was nothing more than that.

When the dream was over, she fell into darkness and could not see a ray of light, and she sat up from the bed with a sudden slam out of fear.

Quickly stretched out her hand to turn on the lamp at the head of the bed, and saw that the bedroom was lit, she covered her chest and took a deep breath, took her watch and looked at it, it was only 2:40 in the morning, and she glanced sideways at the side, neatly.

Huo Qingnan is not at home, or is he in the study?

Once again, I spent the night alone, and on the quilt, there seemed to be his smell.

got out of bed and went to pick up a glass of water to drink, walked to the window, where the usual parking place is now vacant, indicating that Huo Qingnan has never come back.

After reading it, Xia Huan lay on the bed from the beginning, closed her eyes and slept, and the next morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang, she got up, washed quietly, and went downstairs with her bag.

The person who was usually sitting at the table at this time, but when he came down today, he saw that there was an empty seat, and seeing that the housekeeper brought her breakfast, Xia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Did Huo Qingnan not come back last night?"

"Madam, I haven't been back since Mr. Huo went out yesterday afternoon. ”

"Well, got it. Xia Huan nodded, as usual, what should be eaten, and there was nothing unusual in peace. After drinking the milk, she went out with her bag on her back.

Xia Huan went out here, and Su Ruoqing also went out over there, but as soon as his assistant received him, and not long after the car drove out of the villa area, the assistant stepped on the brakes, and the defenseless Su Ruoqing leaned forward in an instant, hit his forehead on the seat in front of him, and even fell down with the notebook in his hand.

Su Ruoqing just frowned, and was about to question when she heard the assistant's voice sound, "Mr. Su, Miss Xia, she drove the car in front of us and blocked it, and now she is ...... down."

Miss Xia?

Hearing this, Su Ruoqing opened the car door and went down with a gloomy face, he originally wanted to find a time to make it clear to Xia Chengxi, but before she went, she found it herself.

Seeing Su Ruoqing coming down, Xia Chengxi immediately ran over from the front of the car, "Brother Qing." ”

Fortunately, this place is the entrance of this villa area, not on the road, otherwise there are so many cars on the road, and it is the rush hour for work at this time, so I am afraid that I will not die or be disabled.

As soon as Su Ruoqing saw Xia Chengxi coming, he immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "Xia Chengxi, do you know what you are doing?"

"Huh?" Xia Chengxi was a little confused, but reacted instantly, "I know, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Don't you want to live anymore?" Su Ruoqing asked in a cold voice, "Do you know that this is dangerous?"

Xia Chengxi saw that Su Ruoqing was angry, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he had to argue in a low voice: "This is not ...... Isn't that accidental? ”

Su Ruoqing was so close to her, so she naturally heard what she said, and suddenly became angry: "Nothing happened?"

"I've calculated, you'll slow down when you drive and turn, I'll control it, and it'll be fine. Xia Chengxi saw that Su Ruoqing's face was still so gloomy, thinking that he was really angry, and hurriedly said: "You say, if I don't use this method, will you stop and see me?" I have thought of many ways, and you will not see me at all." ”

"Xia Chengxi, what are you asking me to say about you?" Su Ruoqing roared angrily, looking at Xia Chengxi's current appearance, he didn't know what to say in an instant, and stretched out his hand to rub the forehead that was hit just now.

Seeing this, Xia Chengxi hurriedly apologized: "Brother Qing, okay, don't be angry, can't I apologize?" I won't be like this in the future, don't joke with my life, I just watched your car come out, and I was in a hurry, don't worry about me." ”

Hearing this, Su Ruoqing waved her hand and looked at her: "Say, what do you want to do if you stop my car so desperately?"

Hearing this, Xia Chengxi immediately ran back to his car, opened the car door, took out a thermos flask from inside, and then strode over, "Brother Qing, this is the breakfast I made for you." ”

"You stopped my car this morning, just for such a breakfast?" Su Ruoqing was surprised for a moment, but more puzzled, followed by even more anger, just for this breakfast?

"I know you're very busy during this time, I think you're very busy, I guess you haven't eaten on time, I'm afraid you're hungry and have stomach problems, so ....."

"Xia Chengxi. ”

Xia Chengxi was about to say something, but he was startled by Su Ruoqing's roar.

Su Ruoqing looked at her impatiently: "Take your breakfast and go home quickly, what should you do, don't bother me, I don't have time to waste time with you here, and, go and move your car away now, even if I don't get on the road, there are other cars to pass later, do you still have to stay here all the time?"

"Brother Qing. Xia Chengxi shouted.

"Don't you understand?"

Xia Chengxi said aggrievedly: "However, I got up early this morning and made it for you by myself, and I learned it after a day of learning from the chef at home yesterday." ”

Su Ruoqing was angry now, and he didn't have the heart to listen to what Xia Chengxi said, so he said casually: "I have already eaten breakfast at home, you take your breakfast back now, you don't have to worry about my affairs." ”

Xia Chengxi's joyful anticipation dissipated little by little, and the bright light in his eyes dimmed a little bit.

At this time, the mobile phone in Su Ruoqing's bag rang, he took it out and looked at it, and immediately connected: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Su, yesterday you asked me to inform the people for the meeting that they have all arrived, when will you arrive?" came the secretary's voice on the other end of the phone.

"On the way. After Su Ruoqing finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Just about to turn around and go back to the car, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Chengxi and asked, "Xia Chengxi, have you looked for Xia Huan?"

I was angry just now, and I was going to ask her about it before, but I almost forgot about it.

However, when Xia Chengxi saw Su Ruoqing leaving, he turned around and asked her such a question, and he was frightened, and his heart was a little weak, and he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly into Su Ruoqing's eyes.

Originally, she was looking for Xia Huan to eat, but she didn't know if she was looking for Xia Huan Su Ruoqing, but now that she knows, what is she going to say?

Is it telling the truth? or is it just talking?

Xia Chengxi had been thinking about how to tell Su Ruoqing, but he didn't expect Su Ruoqing to suddenly speak: "Xia Chengxi, why are you looking for Xia Huan, I know everything, you don't need to think about what to say in your heart, but why did you go to her?"

"You invited her to that meal, the purpose is not pure, right?"

Xia Chengxi raised his head and looked at him: "Huh......? I ......"

Su Ruoqing paused and said, "Don't go to her in the future, don't trouble her." ”

"Xia Huan is your student, I want to be friends with her, she knows a little bit about you, I can learn more about her....... Your business in the UK. ”

"Xia Chengxi, I was only a substitute teacher for a year, and there were holidays in a year, so Xia Huan and I are not very familiar with me, how can she understand me? And you are the one I grew up with, we can almost say that we are childhood sweethearts, so you need to understand me from Xia Huan?" Su Ruoqing spoke with a somewhat sharp gaze.

Xia Chengxi looked at him, pouted aggrievedly, twisted his hands together, kept rubbing his thumbs, and in order to get up early to make breakfast for Su Ruoqing, he dozed off and accidentally cut his hand.

She is the only daughter of the Xia family, the pearl of her parents' palms, she has always wanted something, she has always been ten fingers do not touch the spring water, when do you need to go to the kitchen?

Not only did he not care about the breakfast she cooked, but he even murdered her in a bad tone, she grew so big, her parents didn't use such a heavy tone to murder her, even if she stopped the car wrongly just now, but she apologized.

Now it's okay, I was going to get in the car, but I turned back because of Xia Huan, Xia Chengxi looked at Su Ruoqing stubbornly like this, Su Ruoqing asked casually, she was silent.

Her car has been blocking in front of Su Ruoqing's car, and people who are far away will think that there has been a car accident here, because the two cars are so close to each other that it is too much like the scene of a car accident.

Su Ruoqing was silent for a long time and looked at her: "Can't you tell the reason?"

Hearing this, Xia Chengxi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "You're right, I went to find Xia Huan, but I just invited her to dinner, and I didn't hurt her, let alone hurt her, why did you question me like this? I told her last time I left, I had time to invite her to dinner, and this was just me fulfilling my promise." ”

Su Ruoqing looked at Xia Chengxi, took a deep breath fiercely, and couldn't lose her temper at her.

After all, Xia Chengxi is also the younger sister who grew up with him, whether he is angry or endures, no matter how he says it, he still understands her, and his heart is not bad. In addition, she is the only daughter of the Xia family, and she has never been angry.

"Cheng Xi, you remember, you are you, Xia Huan is Xia Huan, you are different from her, there is no comparison, so you don't need to be too familiar with her, because you are not from the same world. Su Ruoqing said in a low voice.

"Actually, I know why you say that. Xia Chengxi raised his head and looked at Su Ruoqing, and said bluntly: "It sounds like every word is saying how good I am, in fact, Brother Qing, your words are actually just protecting Xia Huan, you are afraid that I will find her, you are afraid that I will hurt her, you are afraid that because of my appearance, you will cause trouble to her, in fact, to put it bluntly, you just like her." ”

Hearing this, Su Ruoqing's heart did not fluctuate, Xia Chengxi could say such a thing, which showed that she knew about him and Xia Huan.

"I don't know how long you liked her in the UK, but why do you still like her now? Brother Qing, do you know that she is married now, she has a husband and a family. Xia Chengxi looked at him: "Xia Huan, she is no longer single, why do you still like her so much?"

Xia Huan's marriage was a thorn in Su Ruoqing's heart, and it made him sleep.

However, now, this thorn was picked out so bluntly by Xia Chengxi, Su Ruoqing couldn't help but clench his hands, the green tendons on the back of his hands were protruding, and suddenly he smiled, looked at Xia Chengxi and said word by word: "In today's marriage, the divorce rate is quite high." Who said you can live a lifetime if you get married?"

Hearing this, Xia Chengxi looked at Su Ruoqing with wide eyes in disbelief, "You...... What do you say?"

After Su Ruoqing finished speaking, Su Ruoqing pulled the car door and got into the car without hesitation, the whole action was done in one go, after Su Ruoqing sat down, his assistant was embarrassed: "Mr. Su, Miss Xia's car is still in front, we can't get by." ”

"Then turn around and go back to the other side, even if it's a detour, hurry. Su Ruoqing said impatiently.

"Okay, Mr. Su. ”

Xia Chengxi watched Su Ruoqing's car turn around and turn into another fork in the road and go out, still holding the thermos flask in his hand, and on his thumb, the long knife edge was very eye-catching, and there was not a single band-aid.

Watching Su Ruoqing's car disappear from sight, Xia Chengxi's tears were like throwing beans in an instant, and big ones fell.

In the past, even if she dissolved the marriage contract with Su Ruoqing, she was fearless, because Su Ruoqing at that time was a humble son, and there were many women around him, but he never paid attention to it, so she was not afraid.

But now it's different, Xia Huan appeared, a person she didn't know at all, and Su Ruoqing met in the UK.

From Su Ruoqing's words just now, I heard that Xia Huan was different from those women before, Su Ruoqing was very attentive to her, she always felt that the situation would not be broken, because a Xia Huan was broken in an instant, Su Ruoqing even said the words of divorce for Xia Huan, she couldn't even think about it.

Xia Chengxi stood for a while, looking at the car coming behind her, she immediately returned to the car, moved the car to the side of the road, and sat in the car in a daze, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged.

After crying for a while, she thought it through, Xia Huan's words that day were very clear and clear, so the only problem was Su Ruoqing, the attitude of the two of them was obvious, it was Su Ruoqing who had a deep obsession with Xia Huan, but Xia Huan didn't feel anything about Su Ruoqing, otherwise, she wouldn't have been married for more than a year.

A pack of tissues ran out, and after looking at the time, Xia Chengxi drove out of the place and went home.

10 a.m. sharp.

Fang Yan stood in the Huo Hall with an anxious face with an itinerary sheet, and walked out of the Huo revolving door from time to time to look outside.

The front desk saw him, "Fang Tezhu, you have been in the hall no less than ten times this morning, is it that Mr. Huo has not come yet?"

"That's right, if Mr. Huo comes, will I still wait here?"

"Mr. Huo didn't call you to inform you, is he busy with something?" asked the front desk.

"If Mr. Huo notifies me, I won't be in a hurry. Fang Yan said: "I don't know what Mr. Huo is busy with, if I knew, I don't think I would be waiting here." ”

"Don't you usually drive to pick up Mr. Huo? today...."

Hearing this, Fang Yan sighed, "If I receive someone, I'm still here in a hurry?" Mr. Huo is not at home. ”

"Huh?" The front desk was a little surprised: "Mr. Huo is not at home?"

Fang Yan once again, walked out of the revolving gate, and there was still no Huo Qingnan's car in the parking lot outside, that is to say, Huo Qingnan had not come yet.

Fang Yan walked in, and the front desk looked at him, "Fang Tezhu, it's not a way for you to be in a hurry like this." ”

"In addition to waiting, there is no way, there is no one at home, and I have called Mr. Huo's mobile phone many times and turned it off. Fang Yan was very anxious: "In addition to waiting for him here, I don't know where else to find him." ”

"Fang Tesuke, you don't understand what I mean. The front desk looked at him, "I mean, you can call the people who often come and go with Mr. Huo, such as Mr. Lu, and Director Yan, or the housekeeper of the villa? Maybe they will know? They won't turn off their mobile phones." ”
