Day after day, the curtain was drawn again, and the last rays of red glow in the sky disappeared into the sky. Moisture began to spread in the low bushes, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets on the approaching winter night. The city's street lights were turned on on time, illuminating the deserted streets and the bald trees on the side.

On the top floor of a five-star hotel, the dim light shines through the glass windows, and the characteristic glass can only see the faint figures on the glass, but no detailed parts can be seen.

Standing by the window, you can take in the night of the southern city, but the beautiful scenery is not appreciated, the backs of the people standing by the window are lonely, and a white bathrobe wraps her slender body, which looks much thinner from behind.

The cold air through a layer of glass did not affect the temperature in the room as if it was spring and summer, Xue Zikun took two glasses of red wine and handed one to the person by the window, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”

Xue Ziqing took the cup, pulled out a reluctant smile, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't taken a good look after coming for so long, it's a pity!" ”

Xue Zikun stood next to her, looked out the window and said, "I don't think it's as good as City A, although Nancheng is a tourist city, it's nothing unusual." ”

Xue Ziqing looked out the window and didn't speak, she could tell that Xue Zikun was just comforting her, so she didn't refute, and changed the topic and said, "You came over this time, does he know?" ”

"Yes!" Xue Zikun looked indifferent, "He just called and yelled at me, asking me to go back as soon as possible." He took a sip of red wine from his cup, and a smile appeared in his voice, "But the general is outside, and the military order is not subject to it, right?" ”

A few relaxed words made Xue Ziqing feel less sad, and she laughed, "Aren't you afraid that he will remove your position if you do this?" ”

"I'm just chasing ducks to the shelves, and if he can prevent me from inheriting the family business, I will thank him." Xue Zikun didn't care about Xue Tianming's roar at all, in his opinion, inheriting the family business was a kind of bondage, and it was far less comfortable than ordinary people.

Xue Ziqing held the cup, looking at the swaying red liquid inside, the cold voice seemed to come from a long distance, ethereal and tactful, "Fate is really amazing!" Some people think it's a burden, but it's something that some people pursue all their lives. Things are really strange in this world, right? ”

"I think it's okay, if everything happens at the right time and place, then there is no such thing as fate." Xue Zikun's expression was faint, as if he had returned to his heartless youth.

"Zikun, have you ever done anything you regret?"

Xue Ziqing's unintentional words made Xue Zikun's face change in an instant. Fortunately, the darkness and lights did not allow the panic and fear in his eyes to be detected.

His memories were suddenly pulled back to that painful night.

If it weren't for the drunkenness and lust, he wouldn't have been able to experience that night that would still dread. Those crazy bloodthirsty eyes appeared in his dreams like poisonous snakes countless times, wrapped around his neck, and even felt difficult to breathe.

He put the glass to his lips and said uncomfortably, "How can a man not do something wrong?" There will be more or less of it! ”

Xue Ziqing turned his head to look at him, "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Xue Ziqing pretended to think about it and said, "Maybe I didn't have an epiphany earlier, so that I might be able to stop you from coming to Nancheng, and you don't have to go through a lot of things." ”

After a bitter cry and confiding, Xue Ziqing had calmed down a lot. She also understands that shopping malls are like battlefields, and no adult will spend their lives together just because they like it, especially in shopping malls. And Chu Tianqi can achieve the current results by herself, of course, it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface, it is because she is blinded by admiration and unwilling to face the reality.

In the end, she couldn't hide from the fact that it was going to come.

"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing to have more experience," Xue Ziqing was much more open-minded, "If I don't come to Nancheng, I won't make up my mind, if I earn it, at least I can help you and help me." ”

"Sister, don't you regret doing this?" Xue Zikun still expressed his worries in his heart.

"No, it won't." Xue Ziqing said very quickly, as if he was hiding something, afraid that if he slowed down for a second, his reason would collapse.

"Zikun, this time I will go back to City A with you, there will definitely be a big battle when I return to the Xue family, and you will definitely be very embarrassed at that time, and Xue Tianming will also take you under the knife. I don't want to see you hurt, if you feel unhappy, you must tell me, and I will stop in time and do my best to protect you. ”

"Sister," Xue Zikun put his arm around her shoulder, "I'm already an adult, okay?" The last thing you should worry about is my situation in the Xue family, don't forget, I am the only heir, no matter how angry my father is, he will not do anything to me. What we should think about most is how to hold what we want in our own hands, you know? ”

The silence and cold of the night is the best time to lie in bed, absorbing the heat from oneself and warming the mist between breaths.

In the dark room, you couldn't see your fingers, only the sound of breathing echoed in the room, and the slight sound became particularly harsh in the silence.

A light suddenly lit up in the darkness, followed by a noisy tremor. The man on the bed squirmed a few times, and it took a long time to reach out an arm from the quilt and take the phone that was set aside.

After a few seconds, he suddenly lifted the quilt covering his head, and although he had just woken up, his eyes were still clear. He stared at the words on the screen, as if he had seen something very surprised, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

He made a few quick clicks on the phone, and even a few seconds of beeping in his ears felt like a long time. As soon as the phone was connected, he didn't wait for the other side to speak, so he said anxiously, "Go and check the movements of the Xue family in the past few days, and the flow of personnel in the company, I want the most accurate news, give it to me as soon as possible!" ”

Before he could reflect it, he had already hung up the phone.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and it wasn't until the cold touch came from the soles of his feet that he stood still as if he had come back to his senses.

The touch on his feet was getting colder and colder, and he walked over and turned on the lamp on the bedside, and the light that was not too dazzling emanated from the side of the bed, barely illuminating the dark room.

Chu Tianqi sat on the edge of the bed, holding the phone and lowering his head, waiting for the light next to the bed, his expressionless face couldn't tell what he was thinking.

After a long time, he stood up, took the phone and walked out.

The entire Chu family was quiet, and Chu Tianqi was about to go downstairs when footsteps came from the third floor, and when he looked up, Gu Tingjun's sleepless face appeared in his sight.

Gu Tingjun paused as he was going downstairs, and he was also surprised to see Chu Tianqi at this time, "Second brother, haven't slept yet?" ”

"Just woke up." Chu Tianqi scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Gu Tingjun ignored his embarrassment and said without emotion, "It seems that you are not sleepy, just right, let's talk." ”
