Chapter 208: It Shouldn't Be Such a Person
When I walked out of "MISS", my mood had calmed down a lot, but my heart still felt like a huge stone was blocked, and I couldn't breathe through it.
When I went out today, I never thought that I would be in such a state of mind when I went home, and I never thought that I would become like this with Qiao Chenfeng.
Without Qiao Chenfeng's car, I had to take Mia to walk on this empty road, I wanted to find a motorcycle to take us back, but these motorcycles saw me holding a child, and simply refused to take us, after all, the space of the motorcycle is limited.
After walking for a while, two black men flashed around me, both of them with an extremely strong smell of alcohol, and even looked at me in a daze, and I couldn't help but tremble.
It's no wonder that people look at me like this, I am a woman wearing high heels, holding a sleepy child in her arms walking on this dark street, the most important thing is the chaotic Africa, I feel terrible panic when I think about it.
I had no choice but to carry Mia and run towards the crowded area, where the two black men chased after me, cursing in fluent English, and then stopped.
I was relieved to see if they had really left, but when I thought that I would have to go back a little later, I began to murmur again.
In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, I must be a strong person to be able to come to a foreign country alone, but on the contrary, I am not strong at all, especially when I need to be alone and courageous, I need someone to accompany me.
Facing the path in front of me, thinking of the two black men who had just appeared, I didn't know what was waiting for me in this darkness, and my heart was full of helplessness at the moment.
I had only taken two steps when there was a bright light behind me, and I couldn't help but turn around to look, but I didn't expect to see a jeep with its headlights shining up the darkness for me.
From a distance, the driver of the car also looked like a black African, and I didn't know him, but when another person came out of the back door, it suddenly made me feel like I was in such a trance, and even felt like I was in a dream.
But he walked up to me when I was a little overwhelmed, didn't say anything, just took Mia in my arms, and said in a suppressed voice: "Come on, you're tired from hugging all night." β
I don't think he happened to be here, he must have followed me all the way to "MISS" from the party, and then followed here.
He didn't show up before, was he afraid that I would drive him away?
Seeing that he took a few steps forward with Mia in his arms, I hurriedly shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Shi Xiangnan..."
Hearing my voice, he turned to look at me slightly: "This road is very dark, you are afraid of the dark, let's go." β
With that, he stepped back and tried to put his hand around my shoulder, but I immediately dodged and said, "I can go by myself." β
Shi Xiangnan was silent for a moment, then withdrew his hand and walked in front of me with Mia in his arms.
Against the backdrop of the headlights, I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to cry when I looked at him holding Mia's back.
Thinking that if our child was still there then, he would only be a little younger than Mia now, and maybe I could see him holding his little one every day, but all of this was gone two years ago.
I was not reserved, I followed Shi Xiangnan and walked on this road full of light.
When I got to my place, he wanted to go upstairs with me, but I ruthlessly rejected him.
Let's not talk about what the outcome will be between me and Qiao Chenfeng, but at least inviting my ex-husband into the house on this dark night is just something I can't do.
Every time Qiao Chenfeng finishes socializing, no matter what the situation, he will come to my place to stay with me for a while, in case he finds out, how can I explain the relationship between me and Shi Xiangnan.
I didn't even have a good chat with Qiao Chenfeng, how could I do such a thing easily.
In the end, I said in a calm voice: "Qiao Chenfeng is coming back, it is not convenient for you to be here." β
When I said that, Shi Xiangnan's face instantly sank, just like the weather here, one second it may be clear, and the next second it is likely to be cloudy.
I don't know if his expression is because I said that Qiao Chenfeng cares a lot, but if that's the case, what position did he put Lin Nianxuan, that is his current wife, is he coming to Africa, Lin Nianxuan really doesn't care?
Shi Xiangnan raised his head again and looked at me: "Do you really trust Qiao Chenfeng so much and give yourself to him?" β
Trust it or not, I shouldn't let those emotions out in front of anyone else, and I don't want anyone to see through me.
"Believe it or not, it's up to me to choose." I looked at him without any emotion and continued: "Just like I trusted you so much in the beginning, this time I am so determined. β
Whether it's Shi Xiangnan or Lin Nianxuan, I don't want to provoke anymore, I have long been very satisfied with the peaceful life in the past two years.
Even if Qiao Chenfeng is really what I heard, I don't want to go south when I get into danger again, because provoking him will put me in a catastrophe.
The feeling of suffocation is uncomfortable, every time I think about it, I feel that the thorn in my heart is difficult to pull out, but it really pierces into the flesh, even if it grows in the flesh after a long time, if you want to pull it out, it will be painful with blood and flesh, just like when I saw it at this time, the only thing left was pain except for surprise.
I was a little surprised by his sudden appearance, but that's about it.
I knew very well how he was a married man and how I should keep my distance, so I looked at my watch, then at Mia and said, "It's not too early, let's go, you shouldn't be such a person!" β
But I have said so, and he has not moved.
That's when my phone rang just in time.
Fortunately, since Qiao Chenfeng came to call, I also answered it generously.
As I expected, he finished the party, and as always, he still wanted to come here to see me after the party.
After hanging up the phone, I finally couldn't help but call "Shi Xiangnan", I couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, but I felt a kind of sadness.
"You heard it all, my fiancΓ© is coming, and I don't want him to misunderstand anything, so..."
But Shi Xiangnan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes looked like he was going to eat me: "He Anning, there are no bones left that you will be eaten by him, you are stupid." β
"It doesn't matter if I am eaten by him, I don't need you to sympathize with me."
After saying that, I closed the door without caring for anything.
I'm not a hard-hearted person, never have been, you must know that I once gave almost all the tenderness and kindness to him, but he didn't cherish it, so now the only thing left is determination.
I stood in front of the door for a long time, not trying to think about what was going on outside.
But my inner world had already collapsed and shattered the moment the door was closed, and even a mess.
Many times I can't figure out why he gave up on me so confidently, and why he appeared in front of me two years later, if he was so determined.
If you choose someone else, then go down as always, come to me and tease my heart, what is this going to do?
It took a lot of courage for a stubborn man like me to beg him not to leave me like that, so no one I could understand how determined I was to get him out of my life completely.
I leaned against the door and sniffed, then put Mia on the bed, and then tucked the quilt for her, when I heard the doorbell ring.
I suddenly felt very flustered, and I didn't know if Shi Xiangnan had left, but I still walked over slowly and opened the door.
When I opened the door and saw Qiao Chenfeng, I couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Chenfeng put his hand on the door frame and raised his head to look at me, there was a bit of emotion in his expression that was difficult to see.
"Come in." After standing staring at each other for a long time, I spoke.
When the door was closed, he was unceremonious, leaning back on the sofa without seeing anything else, tilting his head and closing his eyes.
"It's so late, why didn't you go back to have a good rest, and came all the way to me." I leaned against a cabinet and said hoarsely.
"Of course I'm coming, you left me there alone, facing a few foreigners, I have to come over and report to you on the progress of the business."
Qiao Chenfeng's face was not very good when he spoke, probably because he felt uncomfortable thinking of tonight's scene.
But how could I, when I hear such a horrific fact, act as if nothing had happened?
I didn't respond, and after a while, he took out a document, put it in front of me and said to himself: "I know you don't like that kind of occasion, I will try not to let you go in the future, I will communicate with you in advance about any business matters, we don't quarrel because of this matter in the future, I don't blame you, you sign this contract, and I will have time to sort out a report on this cooperation case for you later." β
Looking at his appearance, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and all I had in his eyes was this business.
Originally, I was lucky, thinking that he would care about me a little when he came, after all, I never thought he was so ruthless, but the reality pierced my heart again.
He didn't care about me until now, and when I left, it was clear that I was unwell, and he knew it but was not relieved at all.
There is also the chaos of law and order in Uganda, so late I came home with a child in my arms, and he didn't even ask for a phone call, and he didn't even ask me if it was safe when I came back, so he just blindly asked me to sign.
The emotions for him for so many years, whether it was friendship or comradeship, or another emotion derived from the past two years, have disappeared with his indifference.
