"Uncle Fu, why can't I find a man who doesn't cheat on you if you can never marry someone you can't have in your heart?" I asked back.
Uncle Fu was so choked up by me that he couldn't speak. I knew he wanted to talk to me, to be nice to Fu Jing and me.
But it was impossible.
I smiled. "Don't you want me to live a free life alone?"
"Well... It would be nice if you could just let it go and be alone, but I don't think it's good for me to see you and the young master like this." Uncle Fu posed as if he had been there before.
"It's just a matter of men and women. I'll take care of it. You still have to worry about me at your age. Thank you, Uncle Fu."
He bent down slightly, his gentlemanly demeanor evident. "Young madam, I can call you that because I admit you from the bottom of my heart, not because of the relationship between the young master and the old master, but because of you. If in the end you can come together with the young master, this is the result I want to see the most."
"Thank you, Uncle Fu. It's a pity."
The thing I can't stand the most is betrayal. If he kept me as a lover from the beginning, I might have tolerated it, but he just told me that, making me feel like he was the only one, but he betrayed me in return, so I can't accept it.
This is deceit, this is betrayal.
I know, we can't.
I really wanted to ask myself if I regretted not agreeing to Hai Tang's request and rejecting her so harshly. Now that I was slapped in the face by her, I still wanted to laugh.
I was in the hospital for three days, and Si Hua Sinian took care of me. The doctor gave me an injection every day to protect my baby. He said that my baby might be premature. I didn't care if it was premature. I just wanted the baby to be safe and sound.
I was still living in a villa when I was discharged from the hospital. Fu Jing wouldn't let me go to work. It was only one day when I heard Sister li say that Hai Tang had entered our company, and that he was on the same level as Mandy in the administrative department, becoming Fu Jing's new secretary.
I was stunned for three or four seconds when I heard the news, and then I burst into laughter, which made me cry.
How did Fu Jing get so brazen?!
Every day, I still play the good father of the child in front of me, my good man, and another woman overnight, turning another woman into his private secretary, is this kidding me?
Sister li called me. I sniffed and wiped away the tears I accidentally shed.
"Xiao Qing, are you okay?" I could hear the caution on sister li's side.
I coughed twice. "It's okay."
"I know about you and Fu Boss, and now there's another Hai Tang. I know what's going on in your heart. Don't hold it back. You'll get upset. If you want to talk to someone, I'm still here. If it weren't for you and your brother-in-law, there would be a whole family."
"Sister li, let's not talk about the past. I just don't understand why a man is not satisfied with having a woman and why he is so greedy." As I spoke, tears began to flow.
Sister li sighed. "I used to think the same way back then. I couldn't even get out of a whirlpool. If you hadn't helped your brother-in-law recognize that bitch, I wouldn't have been like that now. But then again, you and Fu Boss have been entangled for so long. What do you think now?"
Her question really stumped me. I didn't say anything.
"Xiao Qing, you're young and energetic. If you break up with Fu Boss like that, I think it's a pity. They're not saints. Who can make no mistakes? I think you can communicate with Fu Boss again. If he can change his mind, it would be great."
"Put the gum back in your mouth and chew it. I feel dirty." I looked up at the ceiling, and my tears came back.
Sister li said earnestly, "You can't say that. Feelings are not a child's play. Some people miss it or miss it. If you can't bear it, it will pass. If you can't bear it, there will be nothing left."
"I may be able to endure it and get a man to change his mind, but this is not the love I want, Sister li. I know you are good for me. I take your heart. I want to deal with the rest myself." I hung up before she could answer.
While I was on the phone and Sister li was trying to persuade me, I suddenly realized something. I was so resistant to Fu Jing and other women. No matter who this woman was, I couldn't stand it.
I used to think that as long as I could stay by his side, I would be willing to be his lover, as long as he still liked me, but now I can't. I can hold sand in my feelings, but not huge rocks.
When Fu Jing came back in the evening, my door was locked. He came to knock. I pretended to be asleep, but he didn't insist on coming in. I think he went to the next room to sleep.
Two days later, I always woke up after he left in the morning and went to bed before he came back. Although we lived under the same roof, we could not meet, as long as I deliberately avoided it.
I didn't see him, he didn't see me, we became the most familiar strangers.
Breaking the silence was because of one thing. Jiang Miao asked me to borrow money, and I went to give it to him. Fu Jing was staring straight at me.
Jiang Miao escaped. Of course, I couldn't let Uncle Fu take me to him. I took a taxi to the place Jiang Miao and I agreed to. He thanked me for giving him a wad of cash.
I couldn't hide my fatigue and almost fell down the next step. Jiang Miao gave me a hand. "Chen Qing, you don't look good."
"There's nothing wrong with it. The place you chose is too bad. With so many stones, you accidentally fell down." I smiled and quietly avoided his hand.
Jiang miao held my hand and I lay firmly on his chest. "Let me hug for a while, just for a while."
He spoke like a spoiled child, like a wounded little beast. I don't know how he came over these days, but I think he must have had a hard time.
I patted him on the back. "Freedom comes at a price."
"But my freedom is so hard." His chin rubbed against my shoulder. "Chen Qing, would you look down on me if I gave up like this?"
I smiled. "No, no matter what you choose, I will support you as a friend."
Jiang Miao didn't say anything about his decision. He let go and thanked me.
As soon as I turned around, Fu Jing was standing not far behind me, and next to him was Hai Tang.
My calm face darkened. I should have known what was going on without saying anything. I turned to look at Jiang Miao, who was at a loss.
I grabbed his arm. "Young master Jiang, the road here is so hard to walk. There are stones everywhere. Hold me, I'm afraid I'll fall."
