Qiao Zimo didn't expect to meet Xia Lan before going abroad, and it was Xia Lan who took the initiative to call him.

When he received Xia Lan's call, he was almost stunned and almost couldn't react.

Xia Lan said on the phone: "Qiao Zimo, when do you have time, I want to meet with you." ”

When is there time? He is no longer working in the company, and he is ready to go to the UK, and it can be said that he has time at any time.

But at that time, he was so stunned that he didn't react, so he didn't reply, making Xia Lan on the other side of the phone think that he didn't want to meet her.

So, Xia Lan asked on the phone again: "Qiao Zimo, don't you want to see me, since that's the case?"

"No," he said almost incoherently: "Xia Lan, I didn't want to meet you, I have time, where do you say to meet?" ”

"Let's go to Honghu Park, I heard that lotus flowers are blooming there." Xia Lan lightly proposed a place.

"Okay," he agreed, without saying a word, "When?" When is it convenient for you? ”

"I'm free," Xia Lan seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief on the other side of the phone: "Or, I'll go over later?" Just today the sun is not very big? ”

"Okay," he said at once, "where are you, I'll drive you up." ”

"No, I have a nanny car here, and the nanny car will send me over, and we can just meet in the gazebo of the lotus pond in Honghu Park."

After Xia Lan said this, she hung up the phone in a hurry, probably preparing to go out.

But Qiao Zimo was holding the mobile phone, and her soft voice was still ringing in her ears: I have a nanny car, and the nanny car will send me over.

Babysitter car? How could he forget that she was pregnant, she was married to the Xu family, and the Xu family had been rarely noticed since the death of Xu Ruoxi's mother and daughter four years ago.

In the past two years, many people thought that the Xu family had declined, but in fact, the Xu family just learned from the pain, and now it is very low-key.

As far as he knew, Xu Yunchang divided his property into two parts, the more share was left to Lu Ruidong, who was willing to return to the Xu family, and the less share was left to Zhang Zijun, who still refused to recognize him.

When Qiao Zimo drove to Honghu Park, Xia Lan had already arrived early, she was more than six months pregnant, wearing a white loose maternity dress, walking on the path in the middle of the lotus pond, as beautiful as the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

Xia Lan probably didn't know that he had arrived, she kept her head down, and walked forward with some small steps, while she was followed by a middle-aged woman with a bag in her hand, probably the nanny who took care of her.

He slowed down and followed, until he saw the two of them enter the gazebo in front of him, and then he quickened his pace a little.

Xia Lan sat down in the gazebo, although the sun is not big today, but the temperature in July is also a little high, even if it is more than nine o'clock in the morning, the wind in the air is hot.

The nanny hurriedly brought the fan from her backpack and took it out to help Xia Lan fan the wind, Xia Lan was not used to others waiting for her like this, so she quickly took the fan over, looked up, and found that Qiao Zimo was already at the door of the pavilion.

"Auntie, you go out first," Xia Lan said to the nanny beside her, "I have something to talk to about this gentleman." ”

The nanny nodded, glanced at Qiao Zimo, and then hurriedly retreated.

Qiao Zimo walked into the pavilion, his eyes stared at Xia Lan without blinking, she hadn't seen her for a few months, she was obviously fat, of course, this was also related to her pregnancy, and I didn't see a few pregnant women who were thin.

She is fat, her figure is also very bloated, and her originally good-looking melon seed face also looks round because of her fattening, perhaps because of the heat, her face is flushed, and the whole person looks like a festive fat doll.

But I don't know why, Qiao Zimo thinks that this Xia Lan is better-looking, at least much better than when he was his wife.

He remembered that Xia Lan had been his wife for more than half a year, she had always been very thin, and her face was always very white and white, in fact, she was bloodless, almost pale.

Xia Lan, who used to be so thin, followed him by his side, but he didn't take good care of her, let alone cherish her, and now that he thinks about it, he is really ashamed to come home.

"Sit down," Xia Lan greeted Qiao Zimo, who was standing there, and then said self-deprecatingly: "I thought it was cool by the lotus pond, but who knew it was still so hot, I would have known that I would have made an appointment in the air-conditioned Western restaurant." ”

After Xia Lan said this, he quickly took out a bottle of water from his bag and put it on the stone table in front of him: "There is no coffee here, I have wronged you to drink mineral water." ”

He smiled, quickly sat down, looked at her with a full and ruddy face, and asked, "You seem to be doing well." ”

Xia Lan nodded: "Well, I'm not bad, what about you, I heard that you broke up with her?" ”

After Xia Lan asked this, she scolded herself in her heart, what do you mean by hearing about it, obviously you have read all the news in your newspaper, it is really hypocritical.

Qiao Zimo generously admitted: "Well, it's already separated, and she has gone back to Singapore." ”

"Oh," Xia Lan responded, not knowing how to comfort him, she looked at him stunned, and asked again: "Is what she said on the Internet true?" ”

"She says a lot online, which one are you referring to?" Qiao Zimo raised his eyebrows and asked pretending not to know.

"Just that's it"

Xia Lan was a little embarrassed, but in the end, she mustered up the courage to ask: "What did she say about you?" ”

Qiao Zimo smiled when she heard this, picked up the mineral water she had put in front of her before, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"Am I something you shouldn't know better than she does?" He asked rhetorically.

Xia Lan's face immediately turned red to the base of her neck, and she hurriedly said, "I know, wasn't that before?" What do I mean after that? ”

"Where?" Qiao Zimo still asked knowingly.

Xia Lan was a little angry in her heart, Qiao Zimo did it on purpose, she pulled down her face and came to him, but she didn't expect him to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of her.

"I don't mean anything else, let alone mock you," Xia Lan hurriedly declared her intentions.

"And what do you mean by looking for me?" Qiao Zimo still asked lightly, he really didn't know why Xia Lan suddenly looked for him, it was said that she should hate him to the bone and never want to see him again.

"I'm looking for you" Xia Lan thought for a while and said: "I mean, if what Li Mengyao said is true, then I still have to be responsible for what I should be responsible for, and I am not the kind of person who defaults on my debts." ”

Charge? Qiao Zimo looked at her with some surprise, he never dreamed that Xia Lan would actually think of being responsible for him because of this matter.

"How do you want to be accountable to me?" Qiao Zimo raised his eyebrows, looked at Xia Lan with some amusement and asked.
