Xiao's International, CEO's Office
Xiao Yan rubbed his temples and tried to recall the scene from last night. However, his mind was completely blank due to the alcohol.
Clearly, this was a good thing, but for some reason, the bottom of his heart felt empty.
But as a man, as a husband, these were his responsibilities.
He gave Song Xiazhi a call.
"Hey, I know."
On the other side, when Song Xiazhi received Xiao Yan's call, she was a little nervous and helpless, "Big Brother Xiao …"
"Didn't you always want to date? I have nothing to do tonight. Do you want to see a movie or eat? "
Song Xiazhi covered her mouth and choked on her sobs. She held back her sobs and did not want Xiao Yan to hear her, "Alright, as long as you can date Brother Xiao, anything is fine."
Even if she was bored, she was willing to stay with him.
The grievances and humiliation in her heart, as well as the guilt she felt when facing Xiao Yan, she started to regret.
Xiao Yan's mind was sharp, he frowned and asked: "Why are you crying?"
She shook her head. "No, I'm just happy."
In the past two years, he rarely cared about her. Although they seemed to be husband and wife on the surface, his heart had always been focused on his work. He didn't even know her preferences or interests.
"I'll pick you up tonight."
Song Xiazhi nodded strongly, she bit her lips, and when he hung up the phone, she suddenly called out to him: "Big Brother Xiao …"
"Hmm? What else is there? "
"I... I love you. "
Xiao Yan who was holding onto his phone, his slender fingers were startled, his gaze deep, and he spoke indifferently: "En, got it."
After hanging up, he leaned back on the black class chair and took a deep breath.
He didn't know why, but he felt burdened when his wife said "I love you".
From the start, Xiao Yan felt that something was amiss between them.
However, according to what Xiao Ru Qing and Song Xiazhi said, he and Song Xiazhi were free to get married, so logically speaking, they were in love.
Could it be … Was it really just because he had completely forgotten about her after the operation?
Zhao Qian pushed the door open and walked in, and in his hand was an exquisite Cartier paper bag. "Boss, I bought the thing you told me to buy."
Xiao Yan took the paper bag and took out an elegant, square box. He opened it and found the ring inside.
"I'd like to reserve a table for the Sicilian Restaurant at eight o'clock tonight, please."
Zhao Qian understood, "Is the Boss going out with his wife tonight?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the diamond ring on his hand, and said in a calm and collected voice, "In these past two years, she had done a lot for me. I had neglected her too much in the past, so I should compensate her."
Perhaps, never telling the Boss about Qiao Mo's existence, making the Boss forget everything from the past, and starting over wasn't a bad thing.
He wasn't sure how good Song Xiazhi was, but Zhao Qian knew she was sincere towards the Boss.
"Boss, do you really not care about what happened in the past?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, "Jing Yu is mentioning my past, and now you are mentioning it as well, what else do I not know about my past?"
Who else was missing from his past?
Zhao Qian pursed his lips and concealed it. "No, that's not it …" I just want to ask the BOSS if it doesn't care about what happened between Miss Song and it in the past. "
"It's just a small matter between a couple. Do you know that it doesn't have anything to do with elegance?"
Zhao Qian lowered his gaze and nodded. "Exactly."
After work, Xiao Yan drove back to the villa and took Song Xiazhi to the Sicily Hotel.
Wearing a simple and elegant dress, Song Xiazhi held onto Xiao Yan's arm and entered the Sicily Restaurant.
The restaurant was quiet and serene, the elegant sound of a violin gently circling by his ear.
The two of them sat opposite each other at the table.
Xiao Yan pushed the menu to Song Xiazhi, "What do you want to eat?"
She smiled sweetly as she lowered her head and ordered a few dishes, which Xiao Yan usually ate.
"You can order what you like."
However, she shook her head and smiled, "I like what big brother Xiao likes."
Xiao Yan's serene gaze fell on her ring finger. That ring that didn't fit that size had been worn by her for two years, and he had never taken it off.
"You know, sometimes you really don't have to force yourself. You're my wife, but you don't have to give in to everything. "
Song Xiazhi looked at Xiao Yan with both surprise and joy. Her eyes were moist, and her mood jumped: "Did you know, Big Brother Xiao? I was so happy when you first admitted that I was your wife … "
In fact, she was the only one who knew that, two years ago, or two years later, she had never been his legal wife.
Xiao Yan had forgotten about the past and was not aware of it, but she knew that from start to finish, they had not applied for a marriage certificate.
Xiao Yan took out Cartier's velvet box from his pocket and opened it to find a brand-new diamond ring.
He took her right hand and removed the ring from her ring finger.
"Since the size is not suitable, don't force yourself to wear it."
Song Xiazhi covered her mouth with one hand, she was so moved that tears rolled down her face.
Xiao Yan took out the Cartier diamond ring from the velvet box and put it on her ring finger.
Her gaze, throughout dinner, never left the wedding ring on her ring finger.
This is the wedding ring big brother Xiao gave her …
It was no longer Qiao Mo's.
She finally had her own wedding ring.
Tears of joy.
Xiao Yan held the first woman's ring in his hand. He didn't know why, but when he looked at this ring, he felt a sense of sadness.
Perhaps it was because he was touching, but the relationship between him and her was like this ring; it could not go back to the past.
He put the ring back in his pocket.
Song Xiazhi was very happy the whole night.
She leaned into Xiao Yan's embrace, incomparably satisfied.
She quietly closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yan's neck as she gently spoke, "Big Brother Xiao, no matter what I do, it's all because of loving you. I love you, and I don't want to be separated from you. "
Even though his eyes were tightly shut, tears were still flowing down his cheeks.
If time could be reversed, she definitely wouldn't have made such a hasty decision. But … I can't go back.
If she took the wrong step, every step would be wrong. She could only bite the bullet and put the lie to the end.
As for Xiao Yan, his mind was floating very far away as another face inexplicably appeared in his mind. It was very blurry, and he couldn't see it clearly.
But he wanted to catch her.
New York, People's Square.
With great difficulty, Qiao Mo successfully completed the first garment development in her life. Her entire body tensed up, and she immediately relaxed.
She took a deep breath. "It's finally over."
Huo Xing held her hand as they strolled through the darkness of the People's Square. There were quite a few tourists and locals coming and going.
"Silence."
Qiao Mo stopped in her tracks, turned her head and looked at him, "Oh right, didn't you say you would give me a surprise? Could it be some sort of necklace or jewelry? I say, Huo Xing, ever since we started dating, you've already given me a drawer full of gifts. If one day we part, I won't take advantage of you.
"I don't want us to split up."
Qiao Mo was startled. She was just joking around, but Huo Xing suddenly became serious. His gaze was so focused and persistent.
"I was joking."
Huo Xing grabbed her right hand and suddenly knelt down on one knee. "Qiao Mo, let's get married."
Qiao Mo's mind went blank, and her eyes widened. She opened her mouth and stared blankly at Huo Xing who was kneeling on one knee for a full two seconds.
The passing Chinese and foreigners cast their gazes over.
Qiao Mo immediately bent down to pull him, "Hey, Huo Xing! You're joking too much! Get up, everyone is looking at us! "
Not only did Huo Xing not get up, he even took out an elegant purple velvet heart-shaped box. Qiao Mo was not an idiot, when she saw the box, she could roughly guess what was inside.
Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat. However, it was not because of her excited heart beating any faster, but because of her fear and fear.
"Huo Xing …"
Huo Xing took out the diamond ring in the box and held her right hand. He knelt on one knee and raised his handsome face as he looked at her, who had been stunned, with sincere and deep emotions. "Miss Qiao Mo, are you willing to accept Mr. Huo Xing's proposal?"
Qiao Mo's gaze turned hollow, all the way to her ring finger, the cold temperature ruthlessly burned her heart.
Her extended fingers suddenly clenched into a fist. The ring suddenly stopped moving as it slid down her ring finger.
"Huo, Huo Xing … Me, I'm not ready yet. "
Huo Xing didn't get up, but asked every single word seriously, "Are you not prepared to accept me, or are you not prepared to marry me?"
Qiao Mo covered her mouth, "Huo Xing, I'm sorry …"
"Mo, you know, the three words I want to hear are not sorry."
— But, I do.
"I …" Qiao Mo felt as if her words were stuck in her throat. She stared blankly at Huo Xing who was kneeling on the ground, and all of her words were stuck in her throat.
Huo Xing smiled wryly, "Even if you don't accept my proposal today, it doesn't matter. When I had the courage to propose to you, I had already made up my mind that you would reject me. Qiao Mo, regardless of whether or not you accept me in your heart, I will continue to wait until you say that you are willing. "
Qiao Mo's mind was in a mess, as though a ball of wool had been pulled into a mess, "Sorry, I'm really sorry …"
She removed her hand from his palm, turned around, and quickly left.
Huo Xing knelt alone on the crowded streets of New York, watching Qiao Mo's figure leave with a lonely gaze.
Even after two years, she still hadn't forgotten the person in her heart.
Even after two years, the one she loved was still not him.
Huo Xing had never pursued the issue. Who exactly was the person who left such a scar on her heart two years ago? However, he knew that Qiao Mo was a stubborn person, and it was difficult for her to accept new people and things. Person.
Qiao Mo ran all the way back to the villa, and in the house, secretly, it was suddenly lit up.
She was startled.
However, he was hugged by Feng Che.
"Xiaoxiao, happy birthday!"
Her mind was in a mess. She cried out in fright and panic.
Feng Che was frightened by her, and he originally wanted to give her a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect it to scare her.
He hurriedly wiped away her tears, "You're so timid, and you're crying from fright? I was wrong, I shouldn't have scared you. Hurry, wipe your tears, and come over for some cake! "
Qiao Mo bit her lips, her eyes red as she was pulled over by Feng Che to eat the cake.
Feng Che used his finger to wipe the cream on Qiao Mo's face.
However, she remained unmoved and absent-minded, as if she was completely at a loss of what to do.
"What's wrong? Did Huo Xing bully you today? "You tell this brother, this brother will take revenge for you!"
Qiao Mo raised her red eyes and said hoarsely, "Huo Xing has proposed to me."
