Letting out a cloud of smoke from his mouth, Cang Qing's body leaned back against the back of the chair. The hand holding the cigarette naturally fell on the chair, and his eyes slowly turned confused.
Suddenly, his memories returned to ten-odd years ago. At that time, he was only twenty, and Xie Wanjun was only eighteen. They had accepted each other at their best age, when they were still young and had mutual feelings for each other.
Their friends and relatives all felt that they were a perfect match made in the real world.
However, the problem with her character made them finally walk into a foreign land. Her career was too ambitious, and they had different ideals; she wanted to succeed in her career, she wanted to ascend the stage of the Academy Awards, and in order to make a movie, she could give up on the marriage registration. In front of her career, he would always have to give up.
Initially, he thought that they could get along well as two people with similar personalities. However, he later found out that two people with similar personalities was the one who had the least chance of getting along with each other. She was stubborn and stubborn, but she was too stubborn and stubborn to give in.
The old memories flashed through his mind one by one. Cang Qing forgot about the cigarette in his hand. After twenty minutes had passed, the smoke had already burnt to the roots. Only when he felt a burning sensation in his hand did he finally regain his senses.
Holding the mouse in his right hand, he opened up an encrypted hidden file on the E plate. Inside were photos of him, Xie Wanjun, and Xie Wanjun. There were more than 20,000 of them. These were the sweetest memories between them.
He looked at Xie Wanjun who was smiling brilliantly in the photo. Standing beside her, he looked at her as if she was a fairy with deep emotions. He felt bitter in his heart, but in the end, he still clicked on "confirm" on the screen.
The photo took two glances, then was deleted and repeated. Just as the 20,000 photos had been deleted about 5/6th of the way, the door to the study was pushed open from the outside.
"Hubby, have you finished your work?"
Lin Mu's sudden intrusion caused Cang Qing to instantly regain his senses in the vortex of the past.
It wasn't because he was afraid that Lin Mo would see it, but because he felt that the matter between him and Xie Wanjun had already passed. Then, he shouldn't let these photos have any unnecessary misunderstandings. Let bygones be bygones.
Cang Qing stood up and walked in front of Lin Mo. He patted Lin Mo's head and asked in concern, "Are you full?"
"Un, but, I'm hungry!"
Just as she was about to verify Lin Mo's words, a rumbling sound came from her stomach.
"Hubby, I'm so hungry, but other than eating, I don't know how to do anything."
The way the fool acted like a spoiled child successfully pleased Cang Qing. He smiled dotingly, picked up the car keys from the table, and said to Lin Mo, "Then wait obediently at home. I'll go buy some food for you to eat."
After saying that, Cang Qing left home, driving to a large shopping mall at the center of the city.
Entering the vegetable area, Cang Qing began to carefully choose the ingredients that he needed. Here, the people who chose the vegetables were all elderly women, and after seeing a tall and handsome man like Cang Qing mix in with them to choose the vegetables, they all started to discuss among themselves, chattering as if they had been injected with a hormone.
"Aiyo!" Look at how there's such a handsome young man here, and look at the ingredients, he seems to be an expert at buying and cooking. "
"In this world, there aren't many people like this handsome young man who would come to the vegetable area to choose ingredients. That stinking brat of mine really doesn't know how to use the Yang Spring Water, he doesn't know how to do anything."
"Don't even mention that the brat isn't helping us anymore, even the old man at home is like a master, waiting for people to help him every day."
Being praised like this by the middle-aged aunties, Cang Qing felt really depressed. Even if he was a little uncomfortable inside, he didn't look embarrassed on the outside. At most, his expression was even more cold and serious.
The old ladies only thought that this handsome young man was very decent and had never thought about how embarrassed he was right now.
After quickly selecting the ingredients, he walked towards the cashier. A group of aunties, who were moved by Cang Qing's "kindness", took out a portion of the food Cang Qing had bought before he left and placed it in their cart. The clerk at the side saw it and only hoped that this handsome brother would frequently visit their shop.
Not long after Cang Qing placed the huge pile of items he bought in the trunk, the buzzing sound of his phone rang. Cang Qing picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Xie Wanjun. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the message.
"Cang Qing, I wish you happiness."
Looking at the six words on the phone's screen, Cang Qing's heart ached. She was like this, he did things cleanly and without any hesitation. Even if he broke up with him, she could still remain calm and collected.
He was also one of those people. Perhaps it was because of this that the two of them were not suitable for each other!
In the hospital, Xie Wanjun stared at the screen. Cang Qing didn't give her any reply, and the disappointment and anger in her eyes went from the initial look of anticipation to the later look of disappointment.
"Ming Jin, Cang Qing didn't reply to any of my messages. What do you think we should do?"
Compared to Xie Wanjun's jealousy and resentment, Ming Jin was much calmer. At this moment, he was using a fruit knife to peel an apple for her goddess.
I believe that after that short message from you just now, he should no longer have any wariness towards you. You know Cang Qing's character the best, and anything that he decides on, he will definitely think straight to the end.
As he spoke, Ming Jin had already peeled a large apple, sliced off a small piece, and placed it next to Xie Wanjun's mouth, saying, "Here, have a taste of the apple I bought."
She placed the small piece of apple into her mouth. As she chewed on it, Xie Wanjun pondered over what Ming Jin had just said.
"Ming Jin, do you think my chances of winning will be higher if I start with Lin Mo?"
"Why do you say that?"
Xie Wanjun arrogantly leaned back in her chair, a slender white hand brushed away the hair at her ear, and then, like a queen looking down at sher subjects from her throne, she said, "I believe that there are not many women in this world who would not feel inferior after seeing me, and if Lin Mo felt inferior, I am afraid that I will not be able to discipline him and take Cang Qing back. If a person is arrogant, then he will have a chance to win. However, if he feels inferior, then he is destined to be unable to achieve climate change. "
Hearing Xie Wanjun's words, Ming Jin was a little confused. What do you mean conceited people have a chance at victory, but self-abased people don't?
"Why do you say that?"
"Humph!" However, as long as they have the courage to try, they might one day have a beautiful dream come true. However, people with low self-esteem are different, people who have already determined that they can't do it from the very start, they don't even have the courage to challenge others, how could they still be able to hold on, they clearly love them very much, and every time they muster up the courage to take a gamble, they would humbly give themselves a psychological hint that they won't succeed, such people don't even dare to say they like to say it out loud, so how could they get a single heart. "
After listening to Xie Wanjun's explanation, Ming Jin instantly realized that he was just a person who didn't have the courage to express his love. It was truly pitiful and laughable that he did not even mention that he had a crush on Xie Wanjun.
Everyone in the outside world knew that he was an amorous man with countless lovers. He could have circled Beijing three times, but he was actually someone with an inferiority complex. Wouldn't it make him laugh if word of this spread?
Forget it! Forget it! So what if he felt inferior? He had been hiding his love for her for so long, so he might as well continue to hide!
In Cang Qing's house, Lin Mo sat on the office chair in his study, her small feet dangling over the edge of her desk. In her hands was the 'Dream of the Red Chamber' that she had found in Cang Qing's study, and he was looking at Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu peeking at the forbidden books, the love between them.
Looking at Cao Xueqin's young boy and girl sitting together reading forbidden books, Lin Mo could not help but recall her university days when he and — — 12 o'clock at midnight when they slept together in bed watching small yellow slices. At that time, the two young virgins who did not know anything were sneaking around while looking at the small yellow flakes, blushing unbearably.
As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of Cang Qing. This man was four years older than him, and he had once said that he was a virgin. Hehehe, if I find it and ask him to watch it with me when I return, will the expression of this man with a serious expression become a mess?
Just thinking about it, Lin Mo found it extremely interesting. She could do whatever she wanted and start looking for collections, and her hard work wasn't a waste of time. Not long after, Lin Mo found an encrypted hidden file on the E plate, hehe, that must be it, but she still remembered the boys from college who said that they would encrypt the collection with more serious names such as a word list, restudy materials, and so on.
As soon as Lin Mo pressed the button to the left, she was prompted to enter a password. As her little brain wandered around, Lin Mo immediately entered Cang Qing's birthday, but unfortunately, the system had given him the wrong password, giving him Cang Qing's identity card number. The system notification was still incorrect, trying a few passwords consecutively, but none of them were accurate.
How many collection films were there? The password was so hard to complete, and then when she thought of something, Lin Mo, despite feeling dissatisfied, still clicked open the web page, checked Zhou Xiaoxi's birthday in the browser, and entered it. She succeeded, just that when she saw the so-called "collection", Lin Mo felt as though she had eaten a fly.
