Chapter 157 - Final Decision {2}

Qiao Xin was still busy with her thoughts. How could she not? She didn't know what to do now. Until finally, a call she received was genuine, making Qiao Xin fall on her knees perfectly. Yes, by this time, Qiao Xin had returned home, and that was without Xiao Long. Time was running until the time Xiao Long said to hold the press conference was about to arrive, leaving Qiao Xin even more in a dilemma because of it, something that Qiao Xin had never thought about at all, what should she do now? She was entirely in a state of confusion that even no one could control.

"Yes, Tao, what's wrong?" Qiao Xin finally asked when she found out that the person who contacted her was Tao.

"Madam, if you want to come here you just call me directly, I will pick you up, okay? But if you don't want to come here I won't pick you up, I'm not forcing it, it's just that I have to say this, because I'm afraid Young Lady Han wants to go but is confused about who to go with," Tao explained from the other side.

Qiao Xin seemed to be silent again for a moment. What should she do? What should she do? It kept replaying in her brain perfectly until finally, she took a deep breath perfectly.

"Okay, can you wait for me one more hour? Don't tell Xiao Long that I'm coming, okay. I'll get ready first, Tao."

"Very well, Young Lady Han, I will be waiting for you. I'll be picking you up in an hour."

Qiao Xin hung up the phone, then she took another deep breath, feeding herself mentally and heart, then she nodded her head. Yes, she had to make a decision, and whatever the outcome, she had to make the best of the best decisions for whom? For herself, not for anyone else. Maybe later, she would be embarrassed that Xiao Long loved her just because of the chip stuck to her head, but Qiao Xin didn't care at all. She would accept that no matter what. She would take to be together with Xiao Long as a legal husband and wife, without any strings attached to contract marriage or anything like that. That was what Qiao Xin believed right now, even though everyone would say that Qiao Xin would never care even if she was stupid. Because, according to Qiao Xin, in matters of love, there is no such thing as stupid or anything like that, it is clear that her heart loves Xiao Long so that Qiao Xin will fight for it until the end.

Qiao Xin also took a dress in the wardrobe, and then she prepared to leave immediately. After everything was ready, he took the bag off the bed, put on her high heels, and left the room. Xiao Cuan, who saw Qiao Xin looking so beautiful as if she was going to a party or attending a meeting, was now smiling perfectly.

"Qiqi, where are you going?" Xiao Cuan asked. Qiao Xin was a bit confused, and after that, she could guess if Xiao Long didn't tell Xiao Cuan about this significant matter to her grandfather. So, Qiao Xin also covered this matter from Xiao Cuan.

"No, grandpa. I just had an appointment with Xiao Long to have dinner out, and he told me to wear clothes like this, Tao will be picking me up soon," Qiao Xin replied.

The two of them now walked out of the house until they were in front of the door. However, it wasn't Tao, but Xuan Cheng, which made Qiao Xin seem confused.

"Cheng, is that you?" asked Xiao Cuan when he saw the white sedan stop, then the driver of the car got out of the vehicle. Xuan Cheng immediately gave Xiao Cuan a friendly greeting, then he smiled sweetly, glancing at Qiao Xin with her beautiful look, making Xuan Cheng smile again.

"My grandfather is here to replace Tao to pick up Qiao Xin. Tao is really busy right now so Xiao Long asked me to pick up his beloved wife," said Xuan Cheng.

Qiao Xin still seemed reluctant to take a step. For some reason, she didn't feel well.

"Qiqi what are you waiting for, come in quickly." Xiao Cuan said.

"But, Grandpa, I will only go if Tao picks up. If Tao couldn't pick me up he should have called me first. However, Tao didn't tell me at all," said Qiao Xin, half-refusing.

"Come on, Qiao Xin. Who do you think I am, huh? I am Xiao Long's best friend. How can you say things like that like I'm a criminal who's about to kidnap you? Hurry up, we don't have much time now, or if you don't believe you can call Tao, and I'm sure that Tao will never pick up your phone because he's really really busy right now, one of the reasons why he doesn't call you. So, let's hurry in before it's too late."

"But-"

"Qiqi, what else are you thinking? What Cheng said is true, if you had to get in Cheng's car right away, would you want your husband to wait and be angry with everyone just because you came late? Don't you know enough about the nature of your husband?"

"But-"

"There you go!"

What could Qiao Xin be if she was forced like that by Xiao Cuan? Then she took a deep breath and smiled at Xiao Cuan perfectly.

"I'll go first, grandpa."

"Be careful on the way! Cheng, take care of Qiqi for me, okay?"

Xuan Cheng seemed to smile, then he nodded his head perfectly, raising his two thumbs high.

"Alright, Grandpa Han, I will bring Young Lady Han to the destination safely, don't worry!" Xuan Cheng replied excitedly.

The car started to run at full power, making Qiao Xin immediately look for a handle because she was pretty worried about the vehicle's speed.

"Brother Cheng, don't you think this car is too fast? You can crash if you drive at this speed, you know!" Qiao Xin exclaimed. Xuan Cheng seemed to chuckle, and then he looked in the rearview mirror to see Qiao Xin's pretty face.

"You take it easy, Qiao Xin. Everything will be safe with me, and you really are very beautiful now."

Qiao Xin just smiled, then she turned her face towards the window, discussing matters like that if not with Xiao Long somehow made Qiao Xin feel wholly uneasy.

On the other hand, when Xiao Cuan was about to enter the house, he was surprised again by Tao's arrival. He also seemed to be frowning in confusion. How could he not? Didn't Xuan Cheng just come because Tao couldn't come? So how come now Tao comes with that extraordinary rush on his face.

"Mr. Han, where is Young Lady Han?"

"What are you asking, Tao? I really don't understand. Didn't you tell Cheng to come here to pick up Qiqi yourself because you couldn't pick her up? Why are you now coming and asking where is Qiqi? Of course I told her to go with Cheng immediately for fear that you wouldn't come. Earlier, Qiqi seemed reluctant too, but I didn't know that you were also coming. So, come back, it's useless for you to come here because Qiqi has already left."

Tao seemed silent while frowning. How could he not? Since when did Xuan Cheng pick up Qiao Xin and say who told Tao to take Qiao Xin instead? Isn't that very strange? But Tao couldn't ask much, and he didn't want Xiao Cuan to worry about this.

"All right, Mr. Han. I seem to have forgotten what I said myself. I'll be leaving soon, Mr. Han, go to sleep soon. The night is getting late, don't let Mr. Han catch a cold," Tao said again. He rushed into the car and attempted to text Qiao Xin.

"Young Lady Han, where are you? Can you send me your current location? I just want to make sure you get to your destination soon," Tao said in his message.

Qiao Xin, who received the message, seemed to frown, but she immediately sent her current location to Tao.

"Why do you ask like that, Tao? Are you so busy that you can't pick me up and tell brother Cheng to do it? You really are annoying!" Qiao Xin was angry.

Seeing that Qiao Xin continued to play on her cellphone, Xuan Cheng seemed to be looking for a way, especially when he saw that Qiao Xin continued to reply as if she was texting. Xuan Cheng quickly turned the car around and stopped the car suddenly, causing Qiao Xin's head to hit the seat in front of her quite hard and her cell phone to fall entirely.

"Yes, Lord, Brother Cheng. Can you go a little slower?" annoyed Qiao Xin.

"My apologies, Young Lady Han. I saw a woman waving her hand and it turned out that she seemed to know me. Looks like she's in need of a ride, so is it okay if I give her a ride?" asked Xuan Cheng then. Qiao Xin just nodded indifferently, and she didn't even see the woman's figure because she was busy looking for her cell phone, which was nowhere to be found. Until finally, when Qiao Xin looked at her cellphone and was about to reach for it, her eyes bulged when a high heel stepped on her phone perfectly. The phone even cracked, and the screen turned off instantly.

Qiao Xin tried to take the phone, and she tried many times to turn it on but to no avail. The phone is completely unusable.

"They said that cellphones are expensive, why do you just step on your shoes and they break? Irritating!" complained Qiao Xin, who was still busy with her cell phone, making Xuan Cheng smile too.

"It's not broken, your phone goes into standby mode where when you step on it it will turn off for a few hours, so don't worry, and the screen problem is also, it's not the screen that's cracked," Xuan Cheng explained, Qiao Xin just nodded her head, until she looked at her. Again towards the window without her looking at the figure beside her. Until Qiao Xin realized one thing, the path that Xuan Cheng took was very foreign to her.

"Brother Cheng, isn't this the wrong direction? We should go to the company right? Why are we here? Where exactly are we?" Qiao Xin asked in confusion.

"Who is going to the company, Qiao Xin?"

Qiao Xin immediately turned her head, how shocked she was when she found out that the person beside her was Wei Wei.. Wei Wei immediately smothered her with a handkerchief when she was about to speak, and Qiao Xin immediately fainted.
