I couldn't sleep soundly, but I couldn't fully wake up, so I lay groggily in bed for a long time, and by the time I regained my strength and was able to sit up from the bed, it was already half past one in the morning.

The marriage between me and Duan Jingchen was pushed into more than two hours, and I couldn't sleep steadily, and I couldn't be fully awake, so I lay groggily on the bed for a long time. This state of not waking up or sleeping is particularly uncomfortable.

The reason for the failure of this marriage is mine. I thought that with the good of one aspect alone, the relationship could be maintained. I ignored Duan Jingchen's expectations for marriage and me. What he wants is for me to marry him and live happily ever after. Instead, I seem to be calm every day, but in fact I am anxious and even restless.

I couldn't stay in the bedroom and went to the first floor.

There was a floor-to-ceiling lamp in the living room.

When I got closer, I realized that Luo Xiaotian hadn't slept and was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. He heard my approaching footsteps and opened his eyes.

"Tao Ran, sit down and let's talk, if you're in the mood. Luo Xiaotian said.

I wasn't in the mood for it, but I sat down.

The lighting range of the floor lamp is not large, only one aperture. I sat there and when I lowered my eyes, I saw my own hand and a ring on the ring finger of my right hand.

This is my wedding ring with Duan Jingchen. Divorce in the afternoon, time is urgent, the incident happened suddenly, I actually forgot this ring.

I quickly took it off and held it in the palm of my hand.

The diamond is slightly cool, and the hand of the ring is distressed.

"You and Jing Chen, are you really divorced?" he asked.

I nodded: "Divorce certificate in the afternoon." ”

"Can't go on?" he asked again.

"He cheated. I said.

Luo Xiaotian didn't speak again, sighed and said: "It's a bit strange about his cheating, a man has been good to you for more than ten years, and suddenly cheated after marriage because he didn't have a married life, which is unreasonable." ”

"There are a lot of unreasonable things, but they all happen. I lowered my eyes and said lightly.

Luo Xiaotian didn't speak anymore and kept staring at me.

"Your mother is worried about you and will come over soon. At that time, if you want to say anything, tell her, I am a father, and it is inconvenient to ask many things. Luo Xiaotian said.

"Actually, don't worry, I'm an adult, I have my own opinions, and I know when to make choices. I said.

Luo Xiaotian looked at me seriously and said, "Then I'll say one more word." ”

I looked at him and said, "Ask, at this point, I don't have anything to say." ”

"You divorced Duan Jingchen because of Gu Yixiao, right?" he asked.

I looked up at him sharply and said quickly, "It's nothing to do with him." ”

"You are in such a hurry to deny it, and you are a little panicked. Luo Xiaotian looked at me and said seriously, word by word, "Before answering my question, think clearly." You don't even know what you want, and no one else can help you. At your current age, your current social class, for feelings, you really just need to add icing on the cake, if it's not suitable, you don't like it or don't feel it, you really don't have to make do with it. ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at his watch and said, "It's not early, you go to sleep, I'll ask Aunt Wang to help me clean up the guest room, and I'll go up to rest immediately." I've been waiting for you here for hours just to tell you these few words. Whatever you do, follow your heart. ”

After Luo Xiaotian finished speaking, he stood up and left.

I thought about it for a long time in the living room alone, back and forth about this afternoon, as well as Luo Xiaotian's words.

Duan Jingchen cheating?

It's really weird.

After thinking about it for a night, my mind became even more chaotic.

People have this kind of shortcoming, and the authorities are obsessed.

Early the next morning, I woke up when I heard someone ring the doorbell, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Duan Jingchen's grandmother.

When I saw the old lady, it occurred to me that I still owed her a bracelet.

"Grandma, why are you here?" I quickly let her in.

She took out the eldest granddaughter who helped her in, sat opposite me, took my hand and said, "Tao Ran, Jingchen is sorry for you this time." Grandma also knows that you are the one who doesn't rub sand in your eyes. I wanted to persuade you to make peace, but who knew that the two of them were quick and would go to get the divorce certificate tomorrow. Without you, the granddaughter-in-law, grandma is sad. It's all his fault, grandma came to apologize to you. ”

"Grandma, you really don't have to. I hurriedly took her hand and said, "I am also responsible for this relationship to this day." In fact, there are many things that only the two of us know what is going on. Jing Chen didn't do anything wrong, it's just that we weren't suitable. Actually, I think I'm too hasty. In the beginning, when he confessed to me, I felt that it was inappropriate. Now that more than ten years have passed, how can it be appropriate?"

"Jing Chen is probably also a momentary mistake......" she couldn't say anything at this point, her eyes were a little red and she patted my hand and said, "Grandma is here to apologize, I really can't stand you." ”

"Grandma, I really don't need to. I'm ashamed of you. I said.

"You kid, solid, don't think much about anything. Duan Jingchen's grandmother continued, "Although you and Jingchen are divorced, you should come to see grandma in the future, don't think much about it." I thought I had a goddaughter. ”

"Okay. "I answered.

I will not refuse the kindness of the old man, but I will definitely not visit her as often as I promised. She came to apologize, and this gesture made me feel even more unhappy.

Only Duan Jingchen himself knows that after I married him, I didn't even have the reality of husband and wife.

Which man can stand such a marriage?

While we were talking, Luo Xiaotian came down. He was stunned when he saw Duan Jingchen's grandmother, and immediately smiled: "The old lady is here, this Tao Ran is too, grandma is here, you don't go up to call me?"

"I forgot you lived here. I explained, and hurriedly stood up and let him sit opposite Grandma Duan Jingchen.

They chatted a few more words, and Duan Jingchen's grandmother mainly said that she was here to apologize.

After Luo Xiaotian sent the old lady out of the door, he came back to me and said, "The old lady of the Duan family is an understanding person and thinks things through. In fact, with such parents, Duan Jingchen should not be wrong. How could you cheat?"

"Okay, that's it, don't talk about it. I went to work. I said to Luo Xiaotian.

He smiled, shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I'll send your son to school." ”

When I went out, I heard him whisper behind me, "How did I, a world-class investor, become a nanny, and I still dislike it?"

I smiled to myself and didn't look back.

Luo Xiaotian is now getting more and more like fireworks, which makes people feel much warmer.

I didn't accept him at first, but now I can talk to him calmly, which is a big improvement. And he really regarded me as his own daughter.

I know that my divorce will alarm a lot of people. So as soon as I arrived at the office, I turned off my mobile phone, and said to Liu Shuang at the same time: "No matter who it is, as long as it is looking for my call, it will only be recorded and will not be transferred." Today, I didn't answer a single call. ”

In this way, the day without a phone is relatively peaceful.

However, this calm is shattered before the end of the day.

It was Jogian who broke into my office.

"Are you divorced from Duan Jingchen?" she asked.

I looked at her excited appearance, nodded very calmly and said, "Yes, the formalities were done yesterday afternoon." ”

"You're fast enough. She walked up to me a few steps, sat down directly, and asked, "Why? ”

"It's cheating, there's evidence. I said.

"Cheating?" Qiao Ji'an's eyes widened, "Tao Ran, if Duan Jingchen will cheat, will any man in the world still have anything to want?"

He Xiao took the photo. I said, "It shouldn't be a problem." ”

"He Xiao?" Qiao Ji'an asked rhetorically, and then sneered, "You also believe his words?"

"I can't believe his words, but I have to believe the photo, that kind of photo is definitely not P. "I work as I speak.

When I don't know how to solve a problem, there are two outlets, one is to work hard, and the other is to run hard. Because only in this way will I feel that things are being solved little by little, instead of standing still.

"You told me that people only believe what they want to believe, isn't that true of you now?" asked Jogian.

"Whether it's or not, we're all divorced now. I glanced up at her, "Actually, now that I think about it, Zhang Ailing's words are right, you have to become famous as soon as possible." In fact, it's not just about becoming famous, it's about doing everything as soon as possible. It's the same with divorce, if it takes a few more years and accidentally gives birth to a child, it will be even more difficult to leave. ”

Qiao Ji'an looked at me suspiciously and said, "Tao Ran, it is still rumored outside, you have been married for so long, and you haven't let Duan Jingchen touch you?"

"Who did you listen to?" I asked.

She turned on her phone and flipped out a post to show me, which wrote about the divorce process between me and Duan Jingchen, and even involved all kinds of privacy between us. Some of it is true, but most of it is also fictional.

"I'll call and ask the site to remove the post, it's pure nonsense. I said.

Qiao Ji'an saw that I was quite calm, so he believed my words, and said with a long sigh of relief: "This is Duan Jingchen's mistake, this is a typical example of not cherishing if you get it." You say we're all the same fate. Special men have a virtuous nature. ”

"Do you hate men now?" I asked, putting down what I was holding.

"No, I just think that He Xiao's friend doesn't have a good thing, either he is a capitalist who calculates others, or he is a super scumbag. Qiao Jian said hatefully.

"Did you give it to you?" I asked.

Not wanting to let Giorgian focus on my divorce anymore, I took the initiative to change the subject.

"You're pretty well-informed. Giorgian said.

I have seen that He Xiaofa's circle of friends is very small in the past week, and they are all mourned, and I also think about the issue of children, and he is not going well on his side. He Xiao's opposite is Qiao Jian, if he doesn't go well, Qiao Ji'an will naturally go well.

"It's not well-informed, it's guessing. I said.

"It's almost now, He Xiao himself has relented, and he only has to go to court one last time. Qiao Jia said, "When I mentioned the court before, I felt a little trembling, but now I don't see anything else, but my courage has been trained." ”

I sighed too.

Women are getting stronger and stronger under the polishing of various things. But being strong is really not a good word. Because for a person to be strong, he has to go through a lot of tribulations. This kind of ordeal is to polish a strong stone, and a strong woman may not be happy. It's just that they all have a common characteristic, that is, no matter what kind of environment they throw in, they can survive and live well.

Qiao Jian was quiet for a while, then suddenly walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Now you feel very depressed, if you need someone to accompany you to indulge, I will accompany you." ”

"Nope. I shook my head.

"Stay safe, let's go to Qingshaofeng. Giorgian said.

"It's not that it's safe or not, it's that I don't have the habit of venting now. Now I feel that something has happened, it has already happened, and I can't change what I do, so it's better to accept it obediently. I said.

Giorgian was silent for a longer period of time, and as soon as I looked up, she was staring at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Tao Ran, how do I feel that you say that you don't care about this relationship, and if something like this happens, you should disperse, but you feel that your heart is like ashes. At that time, when the news of Gu Yixiao's death came out, you were sad and didn't know what to do. And now, you look like there's nothing going on, and your heart feels like it's all turned to ashes. Giorgian said.

Her words were so accurate that I was stunned.

Is my heart really a waste of ashes?

"In fact, it's not that this relationship and marriage hurt me more, but because of this incident, I see feelings more lightly. A lot of things have to talk about the environment and timing, and without a specific environment and timing, you will never get back the feeling you had at that time. I said.

"What about Gu Yixiao? I said what if. Qiao Ji settled for a moment, "If, Gu Yixiao comes back to you now, will you be with him?"

"Of course not. I said.

"Not now, if he comes to you in a while, will you still be with him?" asked Qiao Jian again.

"No, it won't. I said.

"I don't believe it. Giorgian shook his head.

I smiled: "Believe it or not, now I want to run the company well, and I don't want to expand my business, and I don't want to be the richest man." Raise the bean bun safely, and then I will retire. After retirement, I plan to live a few young and idle lives. ”

Qiao Jian obviously didn't believe my words, comforted me a few more words, and then left a sentence when you need me to accompany you, just say it.

She walked out of the office, and I turned my computer screen back on, ready to work on a few more emails. At this time, she suddenly turned back again.

"What's wrong? Forgot to pick up something?" I asked.

"It's not. Giorgian looked at me and stopped.

"What's that?" I asked.

She mustered up the courage to say to me: "Actually, you really don't have to believe He Xiao's words. ”

"Why?" I asked.

"Because He Xiao likes you, if he gives you the news of Duan Jingchen, maybe he just deliberately wants to break you up. Giorgian said.

I think she's making too much of a joke.

"Don't make this kind of joke, if something happens to me and He Xiao, aren't you just a fire-proof, anti-theft and anti-girlfriend?" I looked at her seriously, "Me and He Xiao, nothing." I've been explaining it to you like this, and you don't believe it. ”

"You have nothing to He Xiao, but He Xiao has everything to you. She also said seriously.

I smiled, not wanting to continue any further misunderstanding with her, and immediately said, "He only treats me as a partner." ”

When Qiao Jian heard me say this, his eyes turned slightly red and said, "When he was drunk, he once thought I was you, and called me by your name. You don't know how gentle he was that night. ”

My head buzzed.

When did Jogian leave, I don't know. When I came to my senses, I was the only one left in the office. If it weren't for the fact that she still had half a bottle of water on the table, I almost suspected I was hallucinating.

It's a big deal.

Now, although Qiao Ji'an and He Xiao are divorced, I don't want any triangular relationship. But what am I going to do now? Go talk to He Xiao? If I really do this, it will be too deliberate. But what if you don't, then how will I meet with He Xiao in the future?

After thinking about it for a long time, I made a decision that was not a decision, and avoided He Xiao in the future.

When I think about emotional things, my head is big.

In the following week, the people of the Duan family came to me several times, and they all apologized, but the meaning behind them was to persuade me to get back together with Duan Jingchen and help him intercede.

However, Duan Jingchen did not appear in front of me again.

Another week passed, and I received a box of cosmetics and jewelry that I had left in that house, and at the bottom of the box was a file bag containing the real estate deed - the villa.

I thought about it for a while, took out the real estate certificate, and at the same time made a copy of my ID card, handwritten a power of attorney to entrust the owner of the house to change the name, and then sent it back to Duan Jingchen, the address was his company.

I wanted to make a call and talk to him about all this, but I hesitated for a long time before I picked up the phone. I thought he wouldn't answer my calls again, after all, I made him the target of public criticism in the Duan family.

"Hey, Tao Ran. "He answered the phone and called my name directly.

"I'll give you the real estate deed by courier back, I don't need this. I said.

"I am the party at fault in this marriage, and I should give you financial compensation. But the company has been spending money for the past few months, and it hasn't made any money yet, so all I can do is that house. That's what you deserve, keep it, and don't send it back to me. He said.

I knew I wouldn't be able to say more, so I just shut up.

None of us took the initiative to hang up the phone, so we held the phone and was silent for more than a minute. Finally, he slowly asked, "Tao Ran, how are you doing for a while?"

"It's good. I said, "What about you?"

"I'm fine, too. Duan Jingchen said.

"Oh. I answered.

It turns out that neither of us can live without each other. It turns out that the essence of feelings is economic strength. Now, we're away from each other, and we're both doing well. I sometimes feel a little relieved in my heart, because when I go home, I don't have to act in front of the bean bag anymore.

However, my divorce again hurt Doubao a lot, and he was a little sullen for a few days. Later, Luo Xiaotian didn't know how to enlighten, so he understood, and he came to persuade me: "Mom, feelings are not necessities, just luxuries." If you can have it, you can have it, and you can have it if you don't. ”

I smiled, not knowing how to explain it to him.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, Duan Jingchen and I have been divorced for a month. My ears are clear, and I think his ears are clear.

I am not as motivated about the company as I used to be, and my work is easier.

Coincidentally, there was an industry summit in Singapore at this time, and I received an invitation. After that, I said yes without even thinking about it.

Lately, I've always felt like I'm stuck in Beijing, so I need to go out and take some breath. For a leading company like KB, the organizer will reimburse all the expenses throughout the process, and if there is a speech or something, I will also get a large amount of appearance fee.

Luo Xiaotian and Doubao drove me to the airport together.

The two of them only left after I went through security. At this moment, I was surrounded by strangers, which made me completely relaxed.

When it was time to board, I boarded the plane with my boarding pass.

This time it was first class, and I sat down and put on a face mask, then put on my headphones and closed my eyes. In a daze, I heard someone sitting next to me, and not long after, the plane took off.

I slept well all the way, and it was rare quiet.

When I woke up, the plane was landing, and my ears were very uncomfortable because of the change in air pressure, so I woke up at once.

When I fly, the most annoying thing is taking off and landing.

I wasn't nervous, I was just feeling uncomfortable, so I closed my eyes tightly and didn't look at anything.

I was relieved that the plane had finally landed.

The flight attendant finally said it was time to get off the plane, and the passengers all stood up. At this time, someone stood still in front of me, and I subconsciously looked up, and it was actually a familiar face that I couldn't take my eyes off - Gu Yixiao.

"Come to a meeting?" he opened first, and his tone was light.

"Hmm. I politely replied.

He still stood in front of me, and I looked at him again.

His eyes narrowed slightly, "Why don't you ask me why I'm here?"

"Business trip. I answered for him.

"Isn't this a good place to chat, go down, which box is yours?" he asked.

I pointed it, Gu Yixiao helped me take it down, and then naturally carried it in my hand and walked out. I had no choice but to pick up the small bag I was carrying and follow him.

"No, I'll take it myself. I caught up with him in a few steps.

"After you go out, if the route is different, you can take it yourself, and I'll do it easily. What's more, no matter what, I'm also your ex. There is still some awareness of this. Gu Yixiao didn't let go.

I didn't want to argue with him at the airport, so I had to trot after him.

When I got to the place where I was waiting for a taxi outside, he loosened the box and pushed it into my hand and asked, "Which hotel do you stay in?"

"Gemini. I said.

He smiled at me, bared his big white teeth and said, "What a coincidence, so am I." ”
