Not being able to go to Africa is always a pity for Qiao Ruoyu.

But in the end, she still chose to listen to Qi Mucheng's words.

"Knock knock."

When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, Xiao Yan knocked on the door of Qiao Ruoyu's office, and when she saw the people inside looking up at her, she said, "Sister Ruoyu, Mr. Qi is waiting for you." ”

"Okay, I got it." Qiao Ruowei smiled at Xiao Yan and said.

Hurrying out of the office, she saw the man in the elevator at a glance.

Seeing her come out, his eyes motioned for her to come over, his face was a little pale, and he didn't look right.

Qiao Ruoyu was a little uneasy, walked into the elevator and asked with concern, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

When Qi Mucheng heard this, he sighed softly.

He lowered his head and his eyes were gloomy, Qiao Ruoyu had known him for so long and had never seen him look so low.

Then, she heard Qi Mucheng whisper, "Chang Xuan is gone." ”

The air in the elevator froze for a moment.

Qiao Ruoyu came back to her senses in a daze, unable to believe that what she had just heard was true.

Chang Xuan, who was still talking to her some time ago...... Really, just left?

"Mu Cheng ......" Qiao Ruoyu's voice was also soft, she looked at the man next to her worriedly, and couldn't think of any words of comfort for a while.

Qi Mucheng took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and raised his hand to hold her tightly in his arms.

The tip of her nose was the familiar smell of male hormones, and she stood stunned for a few seconds before slowly raising her hand to hug her.

Without words, she could understand Qi Mucheng's mood at the moment.

The feeling of losing her loved ones, she has experienced it unforgettablely, maybe Chang Xuan is not a close relative to Qi Mucheng, but it must be a very important friend.

"I didn't expect him to leave so suddenly...... I've been restless for the past few days..."

His voice was hoarse and low, as if he was suppressing something, Qiao Ruoyu's heart ached, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

When her father left, she was also in pain, and the despair of never seeing each other again can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The next day, Qiao Ruoyu accompanied Qi Mucheng to attend Chang Xuan's funeral.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, Chang Xuan's mother fainted several times, and was raised and ran back to guard Chang Xuan's spiritual position.

The old man was crying with tears in his eyes, and his sad and trembling voice made many people choke up now, Chang Xuan's father was dressed in black and didn't say anything, but every time he helped his wife, his hands were shaking.

Qiao Ruowei couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned around and walked out, Qi Mucheng stood quietly at the door, without saying a word.

"Mu Cheng."

As soon as she whispered a word, she saw a thin, thin, disheveled woman slowly approaching her.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Lu Xiaorong.

She was quickly stopped outside the door and not allowed to enter the mourning hall.

Far away, Qiao Ruoyu couldn't hear what Lu Xiaorong said, but she could see from her movements that Lu Xiaorong was struggling and crying.

When Chang Xuan was alive, she didn't cherish her wholeheartedly, but now that people are gone, what's the point of crying and reluctance?

The weather was very bad on this day, it was gloomy in the morning, and now when I look at the sky in the distance, the dark clouds are getting lower and lower, and it seems that there will be heavy rain at any time.

"Come in, Mucheng, it's going to rain outside."

Qiao Ruoyu walked to Qi Mucheng's side, took the initiative to hold the man's hand and led him into the door.

When Qi Mucheng turned around, Qiao Ruoyu saw his red eyes.

She frowned distressedly, and couldn't help but tighten her hand a little while holding Qi Mucheng's hand: "It's going to go in, it's really going to rain." ”

The man nodded silently, and glanced back at Lu Xiaorong, who was still crying outside the door and struggling to rush in, with a complicated look.

"Or, let her come in and have a look, this life...... Maybe Chang Xuan also wants to meet her. ”

Qi Mucheng shook his head, and his low and hoarse voice revealed a sense of exhaustion: "It's not that I won't let her in, this matter still depends on the attitude of Chang Xuan's parents." ”

“… Also. ”

Qiao Ruoyu, who disappeared at the door, didn't see it, and a black car stopped in front of Lu Xiaorong.

The car door opened, a woman got out of the car in a black dress, and when she saw Lu Xiaorong, who was crying at the door, she rolled her eyes angrily and disgustedly, but when she turned around and squatted down, she had already changed her worried look.

"Xiaorong, what are you doing, hurry up, if your parents know, they won't be distressed to death!"

When Lu Xiaorong heard this string of familiar female voices, she stopped her movements, turned her face and saw the woman's face clearly, and cried even more fiercely.

Crying hoarsely, he said, "Auntie, I want to go in, I want to see Chang Xuan, I beg you to take me in, okay?" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Xuan Xue's arm and kept pleading.

This woman in a black dress, Xuan Xue, is the youngest sister of Lu Xiaorong's mother, although she is a generation older than Lu Xiaorong, she is actually half a year older than Lu Xiaorong.

She has a relationship with the Chang family, and she is entrusted by her sister, so she came over to see Chang Xuan's parents and brought Lu Xiaorong back by the way.

She shook her head helplessly, held Lu Xiaorong's finger and sighed: "It seems that if you don't go to see it once today, you won't go back." ”

"I'm with Chang Xuan... Growing up together, when he was in a car accident, he was looking for me, I'm sorry for him, auntie, I really know it's wrong, I really want to see him, just once, you don't know, I can't sleep every night these days, I close my eyes and think about him ......"

Xuan Xue patted the back of Lu Xiaorong's hand: "Okay, okay, auntie help you find a way, don't cry." ”

Seeing Xuan Xue agree, Lu Xiaorong's eyes finally lit up, and she looked at Xuan Xue expectantly.

Xuan Xue bowed, turned her face and said a few words to the doorman, who nodded and walked into the mourning hall.

After a while, Chang Xuan's parents personally walked to the door to pick her up.

"Xuan'er, I didn't expect you to come."

Chang Xuan's mother choked up while wiping her tears.

Xuan Xue settled in the United States and has not been back for three years, Chang Xuan's mother lost her job that year, but Xuan Xue helped arrange it in the Qi family, so that Chang Xuan's mother had a place.

Xuan Xuexiao's smile was kind and a little sad, and she didn't know when her voice was already nasal.

"Okay, Mrs. Chang, don't say so much, I'll go in and put incense on Xiao Xuan."

Hearing this, Chang's mother glanced at Lu Xiaorong who was standing next to Xuan Xue, and finally didn't say anything more, nodded and let Xuan Xue take Lu Xiaorong into the door.

Being able to go in to see Chang Xuan, Lu Xiaorong rushed in in one breath, her movements were not light, not to mention Chang Xuan's parents, even Xuan Xue frowned.

I really don't know how her sister could teach such an uneducated child.

But after all, it was her niece, Xuan Xue hurriedly walked to Lu Xiaorong's side, grabbed Lu Xiaorong's arm and whispered: "This is the mourning hall, you move lightly, so as not to disturb Xiao Xuan." ”

After saying this, Lu Xiaorong nodded cautiously.

Qiao Ruoyu and Qi Mucheng heard the movement and also walked over.

When she saw Lu Xiaorong enter the mourning hall, she was feeling strange, and she saw a tall woman standing next to Lu Xiaorong, although she only saw a back, people could guess that she was a beauty.

Lu Xiaorong knelt in front of the spiritual seat and cried, but the woman in the black dress was still standing straight, talking to Chang Mu about this.

Qiao Ruoyu retracted her gaze, and was about to ask Qi Mucheng who that person was, but saw that Qi Mucheng retracted her gaze with an abnormal expression.

A strange feeling flashed through her heart.

"What's wrong, isn't it feeling well?"

Qi Mucheng shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Although she heard Qi Mucheng say this, the woman's intuition told her that things were not so simple.

At this moment, the woman in the black dress led Lu Xiaorong and raised her feet as if she was about to walk towards the door.

Is this gone?

Just when she thought the man was leaving, Chang Mu seemed to point in her direction at the woman in the black dress, and then she saw the woman turn to look at her.

Although she had long guessed that she would be a beauty, Qiao Ruoyu did not expect that she would be such a temperamental beauty.

The eyes, movements, and figure, all of which she stood there were a landscape of their own.

Although Qiao Ruowei didn't think she was beautiful, she never felt too inferior because of her appearance, but when she saw this woman, she subconsciously wanted to stagger her gaze, and she didn't dare to look at her.

Just prayed in my heart, begging the woman in the black dress to leave with Lu Xiaorong quickly.

However, instead of leaving, the man slowly walked in front of her.

Qiao Ruoyu could feel that Qi Mucheng was holding her hand tightly.

"Are you Mu Cheng's girlfriend?"

The voice is as crisp as a silver bell, but it is also soft and gentle, even if she is a woman, she feels pleasant to hear.

Qiao Ruoyu raised her eyes and looked at the woman standing one meter away, the person's eyebrows and eyes were delicate and clean, and her skin was so white that she didn't see any flaws, just like a classical beauty who came out of the picture of an ancient lady.

She was unconsciously a little nervous, and was about to say something, but the man next to her replied coldly one step faster than her: "It's my girlfriend, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Qi Mucheng's tone of voice...... Why are you so rushed?

I haven't seen him for three years, and since the last incident, Xuan Xue has never been able to contact Qi Mucheng again.

She thought that after three years, Qi Mucheng should calm down and choose to be relieved.

She didn't expect Qi Mucheng to still have this attitude.

However, the smile on Xuan Xue's face did not decrease, and she bowed her head slightly and said softly: "Mu Cheng, don't get me wrong, after all, we used to be ...... It's a friend, and I just want to say hello to her. ”

"Not necessarily."

"Well, then I'll take Xiaorong away first."

As he spoke, he took Lu Xiaorong, who was staring at Qi Mucheng in a daze, and slowly left the hall.

Qiao Ruowei only felt that the curiosity in her heart was about to overflow.

She raised her eyes to stare at the handsome side face, saw his jaw tight, and unconsciously clenched the man's hand.

The big hand also clenched her, and then she heard Qi Mucheng say, "I will make it clear to you in the future." ”

With this sentence, Qiao Ruoyu didn't ask more.

At the end of the day, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening that Qi Mucheng sent her back.

On the way back, looking at the scenery outside the window that kept regressing, Qiao Ruoyu suddenly felt that in fact, life was like the scenery outside the window, constantly regressing and passing...... Until one day, everything will disappear.

She turned her face and looked at Qi Mucheng, who was sitting next to her and was so tired that she closed her eyes and took a nap.
