Qiu Luoli's voice was very low, a little hoarse, and there was a melancholy between her eyebrows.

It was as if the engagement was an ordeal and torture for her.

Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "I said that Miss Qiu, such a big thing as an engagement, you only told me now, do you still treat me as a friend?" ”

"Are we just friends?" Qiu Luoli asked rhetorically.

"yes, or not?" Xiao Chen still had a cynical smile on his face, smiling heartlessly.

Qiu Luoli stared straight at Xiao Chen's eyes, wanting to see something from Xiao Chen's eyes.

But it backfired, she didn't see anything in Xiao Chen's eyes.

Qiu Luoli sighed softly and said, "Actually, this marriage was decided by my family when I was very young. It's just that I was still young at that time, so I never mentioned it.

And now that I'm older, that's why my family has only started to get pressed in the past few years. Two years ago, I fled to the UK in order to escape the forced marriage of my family, otherwise I would not have met you......

I thought my rebellion would have a little effect, but only now did I realize that this idea of mine was really childish and ridiculous. Do you think it's possible to get businessmen to give up their interests? No way! So under their forced pressure, I had no choice but to come back. ”

Xiao Chen quietly listened to Qiu Luoli tell the sorrow in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort this woman.

In wealthy families, there are countless marriages because of interests, which seems to be a major feature of China, and it has lasted for thousands of years.

"Who is he who is engaged to you?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Gu Xunhuan." Qiu Luoli said.

"Is it the son-in-law who appeared at Dong Hanqing's banquet last time?"

At the last banquet, Xiao Chen also met the guy named Gu Xunhuan, who was the same kind as Dong Hanqing, yin and yang, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, it's him, the Gu family, Gu Xunhuan." Qiu Luoli nodded.

"Do you like him, then?" Xiao Chen continued to ask.

"I don't like it."

Qiu Luoli shook her head a little helplessly and said, "But what if you don't like it?" When I was born, this marriage had already been decided, and even if I resisted countless times, my rebellion had no meaning in their eyes. ”

"That's why you came back to the hotel with me that day, even if you were sober, did you leave?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Then am I considered to have picked up a big bargain?" ”

"Sort of."

Qiu Luoli blinked, and said in a melodious and tactful voice: "It's better to give the first time to a man I don't like, or even hate, than to give the first time to a man I look like."

It turns out I didn't look away, and if you hadn't helped me get rid of those two lewd white men that night, maybe I wouldn't have let you come near me.

When I got along with you, I realized that you were far better than the other gentlemen. You are knowledgeable, you are uninhibited, you are outstanding, you dare to act...... All of this makes me fall in love with you.

Even though we have been together for a short time, I can't deceive myself, until my family arranged the engagement date between me and Gu Xunhuan at the end of next month, I found out that there was a man who had entered my heart, and his name was Xiao Chen...... Xiao Xiao of the wood, the dust of the dust ......"

Qiu Luoli's words were like a slap in the face, which made Xiao Chen's brain sober up all of a sudden.

This woman, who had crossed paths with herself a year ago, has actually unconsciously entered her heart.

She is gentle as water, she is beautiful and kind, she is sometimes enchanting and sometimes dignified, she is sometimes resolute and sometimes simple, her smile, a frown, a pout, and a tongue have quietly touched Xiao Chen's heart.

Although I have always been reluctant to admit it, the facts are the facts, which cannot be changed, and it is difficult to recover.

Qiu Luoli's voice still floated in her ears, but the person had disappeared in front of her eyes.

Xiao Chen stood in place for a long time, silent, and the smoke had burned to the end.

He flicked off the cigarette butt, lit another cigarette, and then sat on the side of the road, watching the flow of people and cars coming and going on the street, but his mood could not be calm.

What the hell should I do?

Do you choose to let go or choose to bring that woman back to you?

He didn't know, he just felt like his brain was messed up.

Xiao Chen shook his head, no longer thinking about it so much, since he didn't know what to do now, let time tell him the answer!

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen extinguished his cigarette butt, stood up, stopped a taxi, and went straight to Shangxuan International.

After about 20 minutes, the car drove to the entrance of Shangxuan International Building.

Xiao Chen got out of the car, looked up, and found that only one office on the forty-second floor of the Shangxuan International Building was still lit.

And this office is Lin Ximeng's office.

"It's so late, why is this woman still working overtime?"

Xiao Chen muttered suspiciously, then walked into Shangxuan International and took the elevator to the forty-second floor.

As soon as Xiao Chen approached the door of Lin Ximeng's office, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Chen quickly identified the two people who were arguing, one was Lin Ximeng, and the other was Lin Jingde.

It seems that this old guy still doesn't give up!

Lin Ximeng's stall is really nerve-wracking for such a father.

Xiao Chen was about to push the door in, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he would wait first.

"I only give you two choices, either you marry Dong Hanqing immediately, or you give me the shares you hold in Shangxuan International!"

"Impossible! Shangxuan International is my father's hard work, whether I choose to give you the shares or choose to marry Dong Hanqing, it is equivalent to giving Shangxuan International away, I will never agree to you! ”

"I said good daughter, you can give me the shares! We are a family, what is the difference between you handing over Shangxuan International to me to take care of and you taking care of it yourself? ”

"Humph! You think I don't know what you're going to do! Once Shangxuan International is in your hands, you will definitely turn around and give him to the Dong family! What benefits did the Dong family give you to make you their lackey?! ”

"Horse-stepping! Does a daughter talk to her Lao Tzu like that? Lao Tzu beat you to death!! ”

Lin Jingde was annoyed and angry!

it! Something is wrong!

Xiao Chen hurriedly pushed open the door, and saw Lin Jingde slapping towards Lin Ximeng!

"Xiao Chen!" Lin Ximeng turned his head and saw Xiao Chen standing at the door.

"Wife, I'm late!"

Xiao Chen smiled at Lin Ximeng, and then a dodge directly blocked in front of Lin Ximeng, and then grabbed Lin Jingde's hand as soon as he raised his hand.
