Chapter 5: The Shadow of Marriage
After Qiao Yuxuan's divorce, he lived alone in the apartment for a period of time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At first, he was quite comfortable with the situation. On Saturdays and Sundays, no matter how late you sleep, no one nags. No matter how late you wake up, no one disturbs you, and you are very free. In the evening, when listening to music, you don't have to wear headphones anymore, and you won't get in the way of anyone.
The only fly in the ointment is that he often has to eat instant noodles, and there are no hot meals waiting for him.
As the days passed, I began to miss the old days.
The two-bedroom house was too small when the two of them were in the past. Now I'm home alone and feel empty.
I ate a lot of instant noodles, and now when I see it, my stomach can't help but churn. When I got home at night, I slept in the cold quilt, and I didn't miss that soft body.
It's just that now, I can only miss it.
Later, when my parents heard the news, they hurried from the countryside.
Qiao's mother slammed her head and face, and said, "At the beginning, I didn't agree to your marriage. Xia Xueqing is a daughter, and she is not the right person in our family. Later, I couldn't stand your soft and hard grinding, so I reluctantly agreed. It's good now, after only two years of marriage, I left. ”
"The child is uncomfortable, so don't say more." Father Qiao interrupted her in time.
Soon after Qiao's mother moved in, she was busy helping him find a partner.
One day, Qiao's mother handed him a photo, "Your Uncle Zhang's daughter, after graduating from T University, stayed in City B to work." ”
"Mom, I'm only twenty-five years old, what's the hurry?" Qiao Yuxuan glanced at the photo casually.
"Then you were arguing for marriage at the age of twenty-three, who was in a hurry?" Qiao's mother's voice sharpened.
Qiao Yuxuan smiled bitterly, he really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, it seemed that he couldn't pass the test if he didn't go to socialize, "Okay, okay, you arrange the time, I'll go and see you!" ”
On Sunday afternoon, Qiao Yuxuan made an appointment with a certain woman in a café.
Qiao Yuxuan glanced at the woman inadvertently. Fortunately, it's not so difficult to be relatable, but if you want to fall in love with her, it's better to avoid it.
In fact, he is not a person who judges people by their appearance. At this moment, even if there was a peerless beauty in front of him, he was in no mood.
He stared at the hot steam of coffee, and couldn't help but think of Xia Xueqing again。。。。。。
Qiao Yuxuan sobered up from his memories, looked at the woman opposite, and couldn't act anymore. He smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I still have an appointment, so I'll go first." ”
After that, he went straight to the checkout and walked out of the café.
At four o'clock in the morning, Qiao Yuxuan still did not feel sleepy at all, since the divorce he had insomnia, although he spent the whole day copying in the gallery during the day, but his tired body could not attract the god of sleep.
Although he deliberately locked the memory of Xia Xueqing at the bottom of his heart, he didn't dare to recall it easily, for fear that the beauty would extend into further thoughts and then flood. He can only block all his memories and not let himself succumb to the hope of seeing Xia Xueqing again.
But although he can restrain himself, he can't stop others from provoking him. Especially this woman who still worries him to this day. Didn't you already know about it ten years ago? She is not as delicate and passive and helpless as she appears on the outside, and certainly not the princess who waits for the prince to pursue in fairy tales. She is a woman who is more independent than anyone else and knows what she wants.
He hasn't seen her for nearly a year after the divorce, which doesn't mean that he can really ignore her. As long as there is news about her in commercial publications and news from the business world, he carefully and prudently collects it in his heart, and constantly applauds her achievements. She doesn't need to wear a battle robe to fight with men in the mall, and she doesn't have to look masculine to make people feel tough, she seems to have completely deviated from people's stereotypical identification of "strong women".
He always knew that Xia Xueqing was a special woman, her appearance was delicate and beautiful, like an innocent flower that had been deliberately cultivated in a greenhouse and did not know that there was something sinister in the world, but that was only her appearance. Under that face, she is avant-garde, independent, and has the courage to take what she wants. is too wise and shrewd, but she also has her innocence and persistence, so that she will always have a pair of black and white eyes that are not stained with impurities. He spit out smoke at the window sullenly while thinking, and smoking was also a habit he had only added since his divorce from Xia Xueqing. If time could come all over again, he would love her again!
The crisp alarm chime reminded him that a new day had begun again, he rubbed his aching temples, began to shower and change clothes, and after breakfast, he went to Sun Mingming's gallery to start today's painting. The cultivation of the soul is really difficult and tiring, and it is necessary to give up many desires before the heart can be quiet and pure. There are always joys and pains, troubles and sorrows, and loneliness and helplessness in life. Life is like a dream, so why bother about the rights and wrongs of the world. As long as you are in a good mood, everything will be fine, you must live happily, you must live in pain, and it is better to live happily. He thought as he walked out of the house.
Sun Mingming, the second son of the CEO of Yuanfan Real Estate Company, and a classmate and friend of Qiao Yuxuan University, are like brothers. As the second son of the CEO of Yuanfan Real Estate Company, he is actually an embarrassing position, because he is not like the eldest son who is expected to be placed on him, and he is carefully and strictly cultivated as a successor as soon as he is born, and the successor of Yuanfan Real Estate will only be the eldest son. Even if this eldest son is mediocre, he will never change this family motto.
Sun Mingliang has been fond of painting since he was a child, which has inherited the artistic genes of his mother, who likes music. Because he was not the object of his grandson's training, his father did not prevent him from studying art, and he became friends with Qiao Yuxuan in college.
Fortunately, Sun Mingliang is different from other children of rich and ruined families, he took out a lot of money to invest in opening this gallery, and by holding art exhibitions and selling some paintings by copying famous artists, he also made a lot of money, and he was also more famous among his peers, which made his parents very pleased.
The only headache for them is that Sun Mingliang is over thirty years old, and he still doesn't have a fixed girlfriend, let alone get married! Originally! It is a matter of course for men to marry and women to marry. But this benevolent brother is very afraid of marriage. In addition, even his friend Qiao Yuxuan's fairytale marriage has dissolved this time, Sun Mingliang's concept of fear of marriage has long been ingrained, and if he wants to get married, it is better to ask him to commit suicide! Therefore, the beauty around him, the fifth diamond king, is constantly changing, but no one can be turned into the second young grandmother of the Sun family, no matter how attractive this position is!
Sun Mingliang saw Qiao Yuxuan come to the gallery with swollen eyes and a tired expression today, he knew that his good brother must have had insomnia again last night! This is a common phenomenon after his divorce, but a year has passed, and seeing Qiao Yuxuan still looking like this decadent, he is distressed and puzzled!
Xia Xueqing is certainly excellent, but she has become a thing of the past after all! He didn't understand why Qiao Yuxuan still missed her? If you can't forget it, why did you want to divorce in the first place? Otherwise, he feels afraid of marriage! It's so painful! So it's still like him, taste all over the flowers, and the life of the game world will be free from the pain of love!
