Chapter 42 - Married {8}

"If that's what Grandpa has to do, then you work for my company," Xiao Long decided. Let him not want his grandfather to come to the company and then look for Qiao Xin's whereabouts. Honestly, Xiao Long doesn't like disturbing things at all, and he has to try to find excuses for all the things that might happen later. A thing that Xiao Long might think is something that doesn't make any sense at all.

"No," Qiao Xin replied. Xiao Long also turned his head perfectly, looking at Qiao Xin, already looking at him steadily. This is crazy stuff! How can Qiao Xin now ignite Xiao Long's emotions and most like to play with Xiao Long's emotions? However, until now, no woman has dared to do that.

"Don't mess with me, Qiqi,"

"I don't want to play games with you either, Xiao Long," Qiao Xin replied politely. The two looked at each other, then both in their respective faces.

The atmosphere was now quiet, and both seemed reluctant to speak. They seem to be busy with their thoughts, a thought that might make them both try to understand each other and accept each other's decisions. Because basically, this marriage is just a contract, a marriage on paper that doesn't require both of them to act like a husband and wife couple who, when the husband says no, the wife will follow suit, and vice versa.

"Sorry, not that I want to oppose you or anything. But the pain in my heart with the problems that occurred at the W Corporation even until I was fired from there really I can't just forget. I'm hurt, you know. In fact I feel that everything that happened was the most painful thing compared to the pain of what Jia Min did to me. You have made me lose my most trusted friend, but on the other hand do I have to thank you for what you have done. how not, because of you I can see very clearly if a person who I consider a true friend even I love him more than my own life, it turns out he values ​​me no more than a sum of money, nothing more than a business relationship agreement between the W Corporation and the Han Corporation. I feel that my friendship has been pawned, and after all that do you think if I can still be kind to you and still accept the offer of a job from your company?" Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long. Even now, she seemed to be wiping her tears roughly. Qiao Xin smiled wryly, and she lowered her face, then she looked at Xiao Long again. "Maybe if later I happen to work in a place that has something to do with your company I don't know, but at least I'll get a job with my own two hands and feet. I don't need your pity or anything."

Xiao Long was stunned by this, and he didn't expect Qiao Xin to still be that angry and hateful to him. Xiao Long looked at Qiao Xin, who decided to enter the house, causing Xiao Long to fall silent again. Xiao Long had absolutely no idea, and he had no idea that things would turn out like this. Honestly, what Xiao Long did was merely to vent his frustration on his grandfather because he would be betrothed by a woman Xiao Long didn't love at all. But Xiao Long didn't expect that the consequences of what he did would make Qiao Xin so angry with him.

"You crazy woman," Xiao Long muttered. He was still sitting sweetly in the iron chair he had been sitting on, then he turned his face to the sky. Maybe Qiao Xin thought that she was the only one who suffered so much in this marriage. Qiao Xin never knew how broken Xiao Long was. Being forced to marry a woman he doesn't love at all is not a very pleasant thing, let alone proud at all. He was devastated. He was crushed. While Xiao Long has always kept his commitment to marrying once in a lifetime and will marry the woman he loves, in fact, the commitment he had made himself, which he had been proud of himself, was instantly shattered because of this stupid marriage. Even just because of this marriage, Xiao Long never expected to make him become an accomplished drunk. How much wine had he had in the past few weeks? Even Xiao Long had to take sleeping pills so he could sleep every night.

Xiao Long's chest felt tight, but he had promised himself that he would not do anything that would slow down and complicate this marriage. This time, for the first time, Xiao Long tried to ally with destiny. Xiao Long wanted to have a good relationship with Qiao Xin, and he wanted to be friends or, if not a solid partner, regardless of how much he hated Qiao Xin. Even though he and Qiao Xin might be compared to husband and wife, it would be more appropriate if nicknamed as the mouse and the key that will never get along with each other. Yes, that was the reality of both, and Xiao Long would never deny it. Let alone accept Qiao Xin in his life or heart, seeing a woman with clothes and appearance far from him all described as a wife even Xiao Long felt very sick.

*****

This morning, the Liu family was already at a hotel that the Han family had deliberately prepared as a welcome to the bride for the event held tomorrow morning. The hotel was one of the Han family's businesses, which was not far from the Han family's home. The wedding ceremony was held in the backyard of the Han family's house, which happened to be more than extensive in the performance of a wedding ceremony. Because Qiao Xin asked for it and Xiao Long, a good husband-to-be, had to obey whatever his future wife asked. Both families attended a private wedding, then with the pastor who was there, s sweet wedding filled with shades of green and a thick and extraordinarily beautiful family. That was what Qiao Xin wanted all along.

"Don't you guys think that maybe Sister Qiao has married a royal member or a tycoon?" An Xin asked as she and her mother and uncle arrived at the Han Hotel and got a first-class room there. A most luxurious room with all the most luxurious facilities.

Her mother seemed to spread her eyes to see the whole room. Even in a lifetime, she felt she had been in a place that she thought was like a heaven on earth for the first time.

"Why do you think that way, An Xin?" asked her uncle, her uncle, felt that all this was not true. And maybe what his nephew had said was true. How could it not be if what his nephew said was wrong? How could an ordinary man give everything to the Liu family? Are all debts paid off starting from the cost of living? Even the cost of the hospital and the healing of his older sister has also been guaranteed until then. If the men were from ordinary circles too, how could they be placed in the most luxurious hotel rooms there? The most absurd thing. But Uncle An Xin couldn't say anything either, this was already her shared secret with Qiao Xin, and hwe uncle would never reveal that promise to anyone.

"Look what we got, Uncle. How can it be if Xiao Long's brother is a reckless man who can afford to book us a room that even the receptionist said is the best room here? Do you know how much it costs us to stay just to stay in this room? Very expensive, Uncle. We can't even just sell our kidneys to pay the rent for this room, and one more thing that confuses me. Regarding the emblem and name of this hotel, why is it the same as the name of Big Brother Xiao Long's family? Its name is Han Hotel which is under the auspices of the Han Group. What an amazing coincidence isn't it?"

"An Xin, stop talking and acting if you are a good detective. Do you know who you are? why are you acting so annoying like this. Look, you should be grateful to have a brother-in-law like Xiao Long. He treats not only your sister well, but her entire family as well. with you, with your mother and with your uncle. It's rare for men these days to have the sense of responsibility that Xiao Long has done to us. Even though my mother herself felt that what Xiao Long had done was too much. Just by him promising to make Qiao happy I was already very happy. There's nothing else I want other than that. Because to me Qiao is everything, just like you. You are mother's angels and hope for you as well as the reason for you so that you can be where you are today. I was able to endure all the pain and loss of your late father because of you in my life. Thanks again for everything. I hope that Mother is not a bad person in the eyes of both of you."

Hearing this, An Xin immediately embraced her mother, then she looked at her mother with a big smile.

"Mother, Sister Qiao and I have promised to make you happy always, so smile."
