Chapter 144: The Conversation That Lasts After All
Qiao Yunfan listened to his grandmother's last words and sighed, fell into deep thought, and remembered the look in Xiao Momo's face in Qiao's garden, as well as Mo Huiqiu.
A lot of things have happened these days, but I have never faced it head-on, I have always avoided it, and I have never figured out what I want to do between these two women.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yunfan immediately stood up and drove away from Qiao's garden.
Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Yunfan's car through the window, shook her head helplessly and said, "Yanmei, do you think I forced Yunfan to make a choice." ”
Yanmei stepped forward and said, "Old lady, you didn't do anything wrong, the young master is now sandwiched between the young grandmother and Miss Mo, the longer it drags on, the more dilemmas it will be, sooner or later you have to make a choice, and it is better to choose early than later." ”
"But whoever you choose," sighed the old lady, "whoever you choose, one will be hurt." ”
Yanmei stopped talking, the old lady was right, no matter who she chosen, one of them would eventually get hurt, and it was really difficult for her young master.
Yip's Garden.
"Mr. Qiao, you are here," the housekeeper shouted in surprise when he saw Qiao Yunfan with a panicked face, but Qiao Yunfan rushed inside without answering anything.
In the flower room, Ye Qiang was sorting out the freshly picked tulips, and when she saw Qiao Yunfan suddenly break in, her face was also full of surprise.
"Ye Qiang, sue me, where is Xiao Momo, I have something to say to her first."
Before Ye Qiang could speak, Qiao Yunfan had already spoken very strongly.
Ye Qiang slowly put down the things in her hand, and slowly walked in front of Qiao Yunfan, and said very strictly: "Qiao Yunfan, do you think you are ready now, you know, some words must be taken out, whether it is good or bad, there is no way to take it back." ”
Qiao Yunfan understood what Ye Qiang was talking about, a hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally nodded firmly.
Ye Qiang blinked her eyes, nodded her head and said, "Okay, since you have already thought about it, let's go, she is in the flower hall." ”
Qiao Yunfan looked at Ye Qiang very gratefully, turned around, and ran towards the flower hall, Ye Qiang looked at his figure, grabbed the tulips on the table again, and thought about it again, no matter what kind of choice Qiao Yunfan would make today, but Ye Qiang understood that it was right for him to let the two of them meet.
Separate or stay together, the problem between the two of them is time to be resolved, and it is not good for anyone to drag it like this all the time.
Yes, there is no benefit in dragging it all the time, so what about himself and Lian Jue, thinking of this, Ye Qiang put down the things in his hand again, took off his gloves, and turned around and walked out of the flower room.
In the flower hall, Xiao Momo stood alone in front of the window, looking at the scenery in the garden, but her chest was not at peace for a moment, and her mind was slowly Qiao Yunfan's appearance, so clear, but also so blurry, standing so close to her own mask for a while, and untouchable for a while.
"Momo."
Just when her thoughts were in extreme confusion, Qiao Yunfan's voice suddenly came from behind her, and Xiao Momo's body shook and froze there, not knowing if she should turn around.
"Little Momo," Qiao Yunfan squirmed his throat and continued, "I have something I want to say to you." ”
Xiao Momo exhaled deeply, finally, this moment finally came, whether she wanted to face it or not, she still came.
She turned around, raised her head to look at the man standing in front of her, nodded slightly and said, "I'm ready, say whatever you want." ”
Xiao Momo's relief actually increased the pressure on Qiao Yunfan, and the courage and determination he had finally mustered up decreased a lot, but things had developed to such a point that he had no room to escape.
"About Huiqiu, I've always wanted to tell you about the matter between me and her, and at first, I thought she wouldn't come back and never appear in my life again, so I didn't think there was any need to mention it to you."
"However, what I didn't expect was that she actually came back," Xiao Momo shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Not only did she come back, but she also came back with the truth of the year." ”
Qiao Yunfan nodded without denying it, and said with a sigh of relief: "Indeed, I couldn't let go of Huiqiu too much back then, because since we fell in love, I decided that she was the person I held hands with all my life." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Momo lowered her head, her eyes were full of loneliness, from Qiao Yunfan's sentence of holding hands for a lifetime, she had already understood, and she understood early but she never dared to admit that Mo Huiqiu, whether it was, is, or will be Qiao Yunfan's indelible past.
"When she left me suddenly, she suddenly disappeared without a trace, I felt that my whole spiritual world was him and him at once, for this reason, I was obsessed with it for a long time, because of my grandmother, because of my responsibility, I tried to use work to seal myself, although I pretended not to care on the surface, and tried to convince myself that I didn't care, but only my own heart understands that Mo Huiqiu and the harm she brought to me have never been reduced."
Xiao Momo didn't speak, because she knew very well that Qiao Yunfan could open her heart to herself, and she could be so unscrupulous, and it could even be said that it took a lot of courage to gamble on a man's dignity to tell about the past pain, slump, and decadence that she was most reluctant to mention.
At this moment, the most important thing she should do is to listen silently.
"I thought I would never fall in love with another woman again in my life, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"To be honest, the reason why I hired you at the beginning was completely out of the Qiao family's business considerations, I think it is a very good choice to have you to play Mrs. Qiao, protect me, and even help me in Huaxia and let the Qiao family gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital."
"The fake marriage is just one of the plans to stabilize the Qiao family's return to China, but as I get in touch with more and more, I can't help but pay attention to you, your carefulness, your rigor, and your gentleness and laziness that you rarely exude, all of which make me slowly fascinated."
Hearing this, Xiao Momo smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because you've been lonely for too long, maybe it's because you feel that the hope of waiting for Mo Huiqiu's return is getting slimmer and slimmer, you're tired, and you want to find someone to lean on, it's not out of love, Yunfan, in fact, your feelings for me are not pure." ”
Qiao Yunfan looked at Xiao Momo's eyes and nodded: "You're right, this is the ambivalence I felt when I found out that I started to like you at the beginning, and I asked myself more than once, is it because I like you, or because after getting along day and night, I began to slowly get used to relying on you, until Lian Jue persuaded me to forget about Mo Huiqiu and start over, I really valued my feelings for you." ”
Xiao Momo nodded: "I'm the same, Yunfan, I'm not a wooden person, so I can feel your good impression of me, and when others say that the relationship between the two of us is becoming more and more delicate, I am also confused, and I can even say that I can escape, because from that Jane Eyre, I discovered the secret of your heart." ”
"Although I have never been tempted, but out of professional habits, I know very well what I want, and I also understand that in my emotional world, there can only be one protagonist, and the person I am willing to entrust to must not have another woman in his emotional world, in other words, I can't afford to play such an emotional game."
"So you're slowly alienating me, right," Qiao Yunfan asked.
Xiao Momo didn't avoid it, pursed her lips and said: "Yes, the tone is evasion, more confusion, maybe I can't extricate myself at that time, but don't face it, contradictions, entanglements, and that strong self-esteem." ”
"It wasn't until the day the Qiao family's compound was attacked and the moment I blocked the bullet for you that I realized that you really lived in my heart."
"It's just," Xiao Momo shook her head with a wry smile when she said this, "When I finally wanted to open my heart, Mo Huiqiu came back, you know the truth that she was forced to leave you back then, so I fell into a contradiction again, on the one hand, I had to keep my identity as Mrs. Qiao because of my grandmother, on the other hand, I was not confident that in the end you would choose Mo Huiqiu, so I swayed in such a state, facing Mo Huiqiu, sometimes I would be very calm, and sometimes I couldn't help but fight back, Doing things that even I can't believe in myself. ”
Qiao Yunfan held Xiao Momo's hand and said, "So you refused to attend the banquet with me that day, and finally appeared with your grandmother, right?" ”
Xiao Momo raised her eyes and stared at Qiao Yunfan: "Yes, I was not confident at the beginning, and then I couldn't help it, and I asked myself countless times in my heart, did I really let go like this, so when my grandmother said to me, whether I still want to continue to be Mrs. Qiao, I didn't refuse, but when I saw you and Mo Huiqiu standing together, I was still sad in my heart." ”
"I'm sorry," Qiao Yunfan also looked at him and said, "I am sorry for the vacillation and hesitation between you and Huiqiu, I dare to feel sorry, I admit that Mo Huiqiu came back suddenly, and suddenly learned the truth that she left me back then, I really don't know what to do, your rejection of me, grandma's words, and Huiqiu's pressure made me lose my judgment and determination all of a sudden." ”
"I became Qiao Yunfan who was at a loss, I didn't want anyone to be sad, but in the end I always made you and grandma sad."
"However, it wasn't until today that I heard those words from you in Qiao's garden that I understood that if I continued like this, all three of us would get hurt, so I had to make a choice."
Xiao Momo smiled faintly and said, "So, do you have an answer now?" ”R638
