Chapter 18: Hurry to explain clearly
Ran Xixi didn't even have time to refuse, Kong Miaomiao couldn't help but say that she had already taken her to the pregnancy and baby counter, which was less than five meters away from Qiao Sijie and Wen Yitong.
"Hey, what a coincidence, Mr. Qiao, Miss Wen! I didn't expect to meet two of you here!"
Kong Miaomiao cleared her throat and took the initiative to greet them as if she had just seen them.
In fact, she had been hiding from the sidelines and observing for a long time.
Hearing the voice, the man and woman, who were selecting the goods, turned their heads in unison, and their faces were also full of surprise, as if they did not expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Especially Wen Yitong, her two eyes were round, and her face, which had become round and jade because of pregnancy, was completely ghostly.
The shyness and pretended politeness of her friend made Ran Xixi laugh, but she couldn't laugh on the spot, Kong Miaomiao had to strangle her, so she had to cooperate: "It's been a long time." ”
As soon as he saw Qiao Sijie casting his gaze at him, Ran Xixi suddenly lacked confidence, and closed his mouth after saying this.
"I didn't know Miss Wen actually had a baby, congratulations. It seems that I am going to remind Mr. Zhan to prepare a generous gift. ”
Kong Miaomiao knew that Wen Yitong and Zhan Xingchuan were friends a few years ago, although the two had little contact with each other later, but if it was a major life event such as getting married and having children, according to his consistent character, he would definitely tell Kong Miaomiao to prepare a gift and be as thoughtful as possible.
"I just returned to Zhonghai, and I knew that I had very few friends who were pregnant. ”
After the initial surprise, Wen Yitong soon calmed down.
I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, she doesn't look as aggressive as she used to be, she has a hint of motherhood on her body, and her speed of speech is much slower.
"I see. How many months is the baby?"
Kong Miaomiao asked curiously, her eyes swept back and forth on Wen Yitong's bulging lower abdomen.
"It's been thirty-four weeks, it's not small, and I just found out that a lot of things that should be bought haven't been bought, so I'm still here to buy some for children today. ”
Wen Yitong held his waist with a proud face.
"Oh......"
While nodding and stretching the tone, Kong Miaomiao squinted her eyes and glanced at Qiao Sijie. I saw him say nothing, standing in place, looking at Ran Xixi with a very complicated gaze. However, the latter's eyes were only staring at a certain point not far away, as if he was wandering too much.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to be so caring and would accompany Miss Wen to buy baby products. ”
Rolling her eyes, Kong Miaomiao probed from the side very skillfully, but she didn't dare to say more explicit words for the time being, so as not to offend Qiao Sijie.
"I asked Esprit to accompany me, I have a big belly and can't drive. When I came back this time, my parents didn't know, and I didn't want to tell them, so I ......"
Wen Yitong hurriedly explained, as if she was afraid that Kong Miaomiao would misunderstand.
However, her words and deeds fell on Kong Miaomiao's ears and eyes, that is, she wanted to cover up, and the explanation was to cover up. She is now more and more determined, that is, Wen Yitong's kraft candy is a man who is completely stuck to the Qiao family, since she can't marry Qiao Yanne, then marry Qiao Sijie, anyway, she is the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family!
"Okay, Miaomiao, aren't you going to buy clothes for Rui Rui? His favorite brand is over there, there is a new product, let's go over and take a look." ”
Listening to these painless nonsense, Ran Xixi suddenly felt quite boring, she pulled Kong Miaomiao, and signaled to leave.
"Ah, yes. Then let's go first, and you will see. ”
Kong Miaomiao also seemed to notice that Ran Xixi's interest was not high, so she didn't delay any longer, and walked directly to the counter next to her with her.
She couldn't help but whisper while walking: "Wen Yitong has disappeared for more than a year, and I heard that she applied to a school in the United States, and she actually went abroad to study alone, which really broke everyone's glasses." Unexpectedly, now that I have children, I don't know if I went to study or gave birth......"
When Ran Xixi heard the word "American", he was also stunned: in recent years, Qiao Sijie's business has been in the United States, and he himself has been in the United States for the longest time.
Could it be that the child in Wen Yitong's belly is ......
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed, if this is the case, why don't Qiao Sijie marry Wen Yitong home generously, which can not only give adults and children a name, but also make the seriously ill father feel at ease, and can also successfully get his own part of the inheritance, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone, why bother to find himself to pretend to be a girlfriend!
Therefore, Ran Xixi felt that she had been deceived, or was deceived by a man who she regarded as her best friend. If Jostier had told her that he had a child with a woman, she would definitely offer her most sincere wishes. Although, she will also be a little worried about Wen Yitong's future life, afraid that she will not know the sexual orientation of her other half.
In short, her heart is in a mess.
"Miaomiao, let's find a place to eat, I'm a little hungry and tired. ”
Ran Xixi pressed Kong Miaomiao's arm and said softly.
"Okay, there's a restaurant upstairs, let's go eat first, and then come down and shop. ”
Kong Miaomiao was full of vitality, and she didn't notice that Ran Xixi's mood was a little strange for the time being, so she immediately pulled her upstairs by elevator and found a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
There were many people drinking afternoon tea, and the two found a window position, which was relatively hidden.
Putting down the big bags and small packets, they began to order.
A dense menu has not been finished yet, there is already one more person beside him, Ran Xixi subconsciously raised his head, and found that the person who came was actually Qiao Sijie, who should be by Wen Yitong's side at this moment.
Obviously, he should have chased all the way.
Sure enough, Qiao Sijie's breathing was still a little rapid, probably running, and his chest was still slightly undulating. He steadied himself, and then he spoke: "Secretary Kong, I'm sorry, I want to talk to her alone, and I'll send her back later." It's rude, but I'd like to ask you to get out of here first, okay?"
Although he was in a consultative tone, in fact, everyone could hear it, and there was no room for negotiation.
Kong Miaomiao was stunned, and she didn't seem to expect Qiao Sijie to talk to herself in such a tone, and she also made such an excessive request. However, she thought about it, Qiao Sijie should have something to say to Ran Xixi, it was really inconvenient for her to be here.
"I'm fine, but ......"
She pointed to Ran Xixi, who was sitting opposite, and said to Qiao Sijie with a smile: "I will not leave until she agrees." ”
Qiao Sijie had no choice but to nod.
"Miaomiao, you go back first, we'll go out shopping another day, I'm sorry today. ”
After a little hesitation, Ran Xixi was not too stubborn, she wanted to hear it, and Qiao Sijie specially came all the way to find what she wanted to say to herself.
"What is there to apologize for between good friends? Okay, I'm still invited for this meal, aren't you hungry? Remember to order more, and Mr. Qiao also invites himself. ”
Kong Miaomiao stood up, picked up the pile of loot she had bought again, and then left her seat and went to the restaurant manager.
Watching her leave the restaurant, Qiao Sijie sat down in Kong Miaomiao's position and stared at her deeply. A few minutes later, he suddenly laughed, which made Ran Xixi feel a little inexplicable.
She asked a little angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
Ran Xixi not only didn't feel funny, but also had an indescribable feeling that he had been deceived.
"I'm laughing, do you think the child in Wen Yitong's belly is mine?"
Qiao Sijie smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he was not verbose, and mentioned Wen Yitong's pregnancy straight to the point. He thought that instead of guessing back and forth and testing repeatedly, it would be better to pick it out directly.
Looking at him in a daze, Ran Xixi was a little surprised, and after a few seconds, she woke up like a dream and said "ah": "It's not yours? Whose is that? Does she have a husband or boyfriend?"
Wen Yitong has not been in China for the past two years, and the friends who originally played well with her have gradually gotten married, and it is inevitable that they will be more restrained after marriage, and everyone's connection is not as close as before. Many people don't know about her recent situation, not to mention Ran Xixi, who is also not in Zhonghai, and knows nothing about her.
"She's married, but she hasn't had a wedding in China. Her parents disagreed, and the family had a stalemate over the incident. Her husband is my partner at the company, Zach, who started as a technologist, a Jewish-American, a few years older than her. Because of race, culture, age and other reasons, the Wen family has always opposed this marriage, and they will not agree to death, so they have to secretly register their marriage in the United States, with only a very simple ceremony. ”
After speaking, Qiao Sijie was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he directly took out his wallet and took out a small group photo from it.
Ran Xixi took it with a suspicious face, and saw that the two men in the photo were very young, probably in their early twenties, all wearing rugby jerseys, and they should be participating in college games.
"We've known each other for many years and then we've partnered in business. His family is also very famous in the local area, and we each took a sum of money from our families and started a company with a lot of enthusiasm. Fortunately, there was no loss, and I kept doing it and made a profit. However, the two of them know each other, and it's none of my business. ”
As he spoke, Qiao Sijie briefly described to Ran Xixi the love story between his partner Zach and Wen Yitong.
Zach was a big man in college, a handsome man, the captain of the football team, with excellent grades, and after graduation, he founded his own company and began to make a net profit within three years.
At the invitation of his alma mater, Zach went back to give a presentation, and by the way, he also planned to recruit some company interns. In the school auditorium, he fell in love at first sight with Wen Yitong, who had just entered the school at that time and liked to listen to speeches everywhere with his classmates.
"Zach was sent to Europe last week for a month, and Wen Yitong was a little homesick, so she came back to see me, and I accompanied her to buy some things, so that she would not have an accident with a pregnant woman. Her parents didn't know that she was back, and she was now living at her aunt's house, which had also gone abroad, and the house was empty. ”
Qiao Sijie was still afraid that Ran Xixi would misunderstand and mistakenly think that he had led Wen Yitong back to his apartment, so he quickly explained.
