My heart was not at peace at this time, but what made me even more uncalm was the feeling of being stared at as my gaze swept over a corner.

I can't say how I feel, I just think it shouldn't be that person, after all, I haven't been in touch for two years, but my eyes can't help but sweep towards the corner I saw just now.

Qiao Chenfeng should have discovered that something was wrong with me, I knew that no matter how I tried to hide it, as long as it involved that person, it would be impossible to completely cover up the entanglement in my heart.

Although it was probably a trance-like glance, there were ripples in my heart because of this, although I also felt that this state of mind was outrageous.

So I kept looking at that corner from time to time.

Obviously, that corner was still empty, and just as I kept looking at that position, Qiao Chenfeng suddenly asked me suspiciously beside me, "What are you looking at?" ”

Probably because of my weak heart, I immediately withdrew my gaze and looked at him in panic: "No... Nothing, are we going back? ”

As I was questioning, an older, gray-haired man approached.

He is a white foreigner, and he politely took a glass of wine and saluted Qiao Chenfeng, looking at the audience, he was the only foreign friend in the gathering of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which was really surprising.

What surprised me even more was that he spoke Chinese fluently.

"Mr. Qiao, I am glad to be invited, it is really an honor to be invited to the Chinese Business Gathering, your fiancée is really beautiful, I heard that she is still a doctor who helps Africa, a great profession, you are really a match made in heaven."

Qiao Chenfeng was full of smiles when he turned his head to look at him, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him: "It turned out to be Mr. Taylor, and he is also a long-time admirer, I know that you have stayed in China before, and you have only come to Africa in the last two years, and I am also very honored that they can invite you." ”

"I have the impression that Chinese are more reserved and restrained, but I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to be so romantic, proposing in public, I wish you happiness." Mr. Taylor looked at me very kindly, and then raised his glass to me: "Future Mrs. Joe, I'm really sorry, I have a business I want to talk to Mr. Joe, I wonder if you can let him find a place to talk with me?" ”

Mr. Taylor spoke so humbly and politely that I could not refuse the urge to go home now, for there was a force in his tone that was impossible to refuse.

So I also said generously: "Mr. Taylor, you are serious, it is a good thing for him to have business to discuss, you can talk about it, I will not bother you." ”

After the words fell, I glanced at Qiao Chenfeng, he took my hand and said softly: "If you are tired, take Mia to the lounge on the second floor to rest for a while, and I will come to you after talking." ”

Qiao Chenfeng and Mr. Taylor went to the meeting room, and when I was about to take Mia upstairs, I always felt that I still saw a certain gaze in a trance, and I began to look in a certain direction, but this time I still didn't see anything, maybe it was really me hallucinating.

At this time, my mind kept coming to mind the appearance of Shi Xiangnan, and his smile suddenly broke in.

I feel like I'm just crazy, have I forgotten the pain of the past? How can you think of other men again and again at Qiao Chenfeng's marriage proposal scene?

No, I told myself no.

I took a deep breath, pulled Mia's little hand tight, and went upstairs.

When I arrived at the lounge, Mia looked a little sleepy, yawning and babbling with her hands, I picked her up and patted her gently, listening to her gradually calm breathing, I knew that she was asleep.

Before she could put her on the lounge chair, she heard a knock on the door outside.

I didn't think much about it, thinking that someone was tired and wanted to come in and rest, so I hugged Mia and opened the door.

But the moment I opened the door, my heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom and it was out of control, and the feeling of falling was so strong that my heart almost stopped.

At this moment, my mind went blank, holding Mia and standing still, as if I had been frozen.

It turned out that the illusions I thought before were not hallucinations, he was really standing in front of me, although I couldn't believe these in my heart, but fortunately I didn't lose my calm, and after I was stunned, I still turned my head and looked away, because I didn't dare to look at him, I was afraid that the love or hate that I had suppressed for a long time would run out without warning.

But I knew very well about the man in front of me, and the more I dodged, the more calm he became.

In order not to look so surprised myself, I pretended to be very indifferent and raised my head to meet his gaze.

I hadn't figured out how to speak, and after a long silence, he spoke first, "Long time no see, don't remember me?" ”

Although he had not changed much, except that he had become tougher and more handsome than before, and his hair had become extremely short, there was really no change in him.

Sure enough, the standard for testing whether a man is handsome or not is whether he can hold his head, but Shi Xiangnan performed this inch very heroically.

I wanted to tell him, yes, of course I do.

Even if I don't see him again in this life, what he did to me and what he said to me is the scar that is burned on my heart and cannot be erased for the rest of my life.

But how could he appear in front of me as if nothing had happened, or on such an occasion?

Seeing him standing tall and straight at the door, his figure cast by the setting sun had to make me consciously take two steps back.

So I replied in a low voice, "Long time no see." ”

At this time, Mia moved in my arms, hugged me tighter, and called out "Mom" vaguely, I looked at her, probably dreaming of a dream.

I could clearly see something strange in Shi Xiangnan's eyes, and the way he looked directly at Mia made me not understand, but it didn't matter to me, after all, the child was my own, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

In order to make Mia sleep more comfortably, I had to gently place her on the lounge chair.

When I just put it down and got up, my head was dizzy, and even some legs were weak, and I clearly felt the signs that my body was about to fall, and at the moment when I desperately wanted to help the chair, the figure standing at the door rushed up directly and firmly held me in my arms.

The long-standing familiarity went straight to the bottom of my heart, but I clearly understood who I was, and I clearly remembered the hatred for him, so I immediately pulled myself out of his arms and slowly sat down in a chair.

I knew that I had symptoms of hypoglycemia, I lived in poor and backward places in Africa all the year round, I ate without nutrition, and I often went to see doctors and had surgeries day and night, which led to my physiological anemia and hypoglycemia, so I always had glucose in my bag.

I had no choice but to bite my lip and have no choice but to say, "Can you please help me hand me a stick of glucose in the bag?" ”

When I finished drinking and lay on the table for a long time, he suddenly grabbed my hand: "You are not doing well." ”

I immediately pulled my hand back as if I had been electrocuted, and looked directly at him: "Without you, I'm doing well." ”

As soon as my words came out, the silence and awkwardness between me and him suddenly became even greater, and for a moment we didn't know what to say.

It was only then that I noticed the scar he had hidden in his head, which I had left him, just like the scar he had left on my heart, which could not be repaired for the rest of my life.

"No, you're not good at all." Shi Xiangnan suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.

……

I can't figure out what this man is going to do, is it because he has a strong sense of conceit that he has to think that women can't live well without him?

I don't know what he came to Africa to do, and he also joined the Chinese Business Association, thinking of this makes me feel extremely headache.

So I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart and roared directly: "Shi Xiangnan, what do you want?" ”

"I just miss you so much." Shi Xiangnan said it bluntly.

It stands to reason that when he said this, I should have been very angry, and I should have even driven him away, why after all those ruthless things and ruthless decisions, when everyone was fine, they came here to brush up their existence.

But in fact, I just stood here and looked at him quietly, in fact, because I have never been able to accept the fact of divorce calmly in my heart, and I have been looking forward to the day when he will tell him why the divorce was so sudden.

Even after two years, when I think of him abandoning me for the sake of Lin Nianxuan, the sourness in my heart still can't be suppressed.

He said that he missed me, but he thought of my sister's death, and even thought that Qiao Chenfeng had just proposed to me, and I didn't know how to face him.

All I could think of was to run away, and eventually I took Mia in my arms and threw him a sentence "I have something to do, there are people waiting for me, I'm leaving" and wanted to leave.

Who knows, Shi Xiangnan said with some emotion at the moment I opened the door: "Is the person waiting for you Qiao Chenfeng?" ”

He was very direct, it seems that he came to this meeting early in the morning, otherwise how could he know who I am coming with.

Then he must have seen the process of his proposal to me, so I simply turned to look at him: "Yes, Qiao Chenfeng, my fiancé." ”

His expression suddenly became a little gloomy, this man is really true, I can't understand him more and more, how can a woman like me, who was abandoned by him, mention the word fiancé, how can it make him become uncertain.

"He's not as good as you think, you should see a little closer away from him." He looked at me with a complicated expression.

It was a big joke when it came out of his mouth, and I asked funny, "He's not that good, are you good?" Didn't it take me so long to see you through? Mr. Shi, I think you should recognize the reality, we have no relationship for a long time, what position do you have to persuade me? ”

I tried not to be so manic, and I calmly continued: "You have no position, and if you do, then you are just my ex-husband He Anning. ”

Shi Xiangnan stood there and looked straight at me when I said this, his eyes seemed to be very complicated, he opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
