"No, I will only love you in this life. " Jin Shaonan looked at her calmly. There was no condemnation in his eyes, only endless tenderness.
Under the Autumn Sun, Du Anran looked at Jin Shaonan helplessly. How could he still be so stupid? He could see clearly the ways of the world, but he knew nothing about his own world.
In University, Du Anran was pure and simple, but after experiencing so many hardships, she had long polished her own edges. The once stubborn Du Anran had long learned to compromise with life. Being together with Jin Shaonan could remind her of her past self, the pure and innocent self. However, the better it was in the past, the crueler it was now... ...
In fact, what was the difference between the current her and those bartending girls? In order to make a living, she would sell anything. What was there for Jin Shaonan to love about her like this... ...
"Jin Shaonan, don't be stupid, okay? I've been lying to you, do you know that? "I pretended to be the same as before to trick you into liking me and win your sympathy. In fact, I'm using you and your father's power to take back the peace of the world "I'm not the simple woman you think I am. I've been using you! " Du Anran said a lot in one breath "From now on, Shaonan, you will stay far away from me. You are so outstanding and deserve to be loved by a better girl than a woman like her.
"You can't lie to me. " Jin Shaonan was as calm as ever. "I'm waiting for the day you change your mind. On the day I proposed to you, I could see the look in your eyes and your feelings. I can't fake them. "
That's right. She really wanted to feel at ease and live a stable life like an ordinary person. She would go to work on weekdays and go sightseeing with her husband and children on vacation. Her wish was so ordinary and insignificant, but it was impossible for her to have any more of those in her life... ...
"What a wonderful show. I almost cried when I heard it. " Xin Zimo clapped indifferently, but her eyes were fixed on Du Anran, and the corners of her lips curved into a mocking smile.
Just as Xin Zimo was about to get close to Du Anran, Jin Shaonan blocked him. He looked at Xin Zimo with hostility, but he was talking to Du Anran behind him. "Anran, do you still expect him to treat you well? "
"Shaonan, even if I reject you today, I will not be with this man. I will never forget the pain he gave me, and I will never forgive and trust him. " Du Anran was still rational She could not forget who had cut her heart so hard.
Xin Zimo's heart was moved. It turned out that he was trying to save everything, but it was useless. She was not moved by his words at all. He would never be in her heart again... ... If he had lost his life in the water just now, would she still not be able to forgive him ...
The cold autumn wind blew on her body, and it was bone-chilling. Du Anran, who had just come out of the water, was blown by the cold wind and sneezed heavily. She did not want to stand in the courtyard anymore. She desperately walked into the House and closed the door with a bang.
She soaked herself in the bathtub, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Xin Zimo's face. He kissed her so hard that she had nowhere to run... ...
Du Anran buried her face in the water. She wanted to wash away all the memories related to him, but everything was like a brand, washing deeper and deeper... ...
In the courtyard, only Xin Zimo and Jin Shaonan were left, along with the lonely flowers and plants in the courtyard. Bai ruyun liked to grow flowers. Although it was a rented house, she decorated it like a city of flowers.
The hibiscus flowers bloomed and shined. The big flowers swayed in the wind while the little daisies bloomed all over the courtyard. When the wind blew, the fragrance of flowers and loneliness filled the air.
Xin Zimo and Jin Shaonan had nothing to say to each other. Xin zimo stood in the courtyard for a while before striding away. Jin Shaonan wanted to leave du Anran alone, so he sighed and left.
The originally quiet courtyard returned to its usual tranquility. Only the birds were chirping non-stop on the trees.
Xin zimo's sudden return home gave mother Xu a fright, and when she saw his drenched appearance, she was even more shocked. "Young Master, where did you go? How did you end up like this... "
She hurriedly brought Xin Zimo a clean set of clothes to change into, and then went to put in the bath water for him. She was very busy. "Young Master, quickly go and take a bath. Don't catch a cold! "
Xin Zimo did not say a word and only silently walked into the bathroom. He turned the water to the maximum and washed it vigorously, as if he wanted to wash away all those unpleasant memories.
Mother Xu did not know what had happened, and she did not dare to call mother Xin. She could only take the clothes Xin Zimo had changed out of and wash them. In fact, Xin Zimo had never been happy in all these years. She had been in the Xin family for so long, and she had always been anxious in her heart.
This child had borne too much pressure and responsibility, and had carried too many burdens. His psychological burden far exceeded that of his peers. She could see that Xin Zimo was unwilling to go home. Every time he saw mother Xin, he felt even more guilty... ...
This child's thoughts were too heavy, but he never told anyone. Mother Xu shook her head.
When mother Xu finished washing the clothes and preparing dinner, Xin Zimo still did not come out. She stood at the bathroom door and could only hear the sound of water splashing.
She was afraid that something would happen to Xin Zimo, so she knocked on the bathroom door. "Young Master, is it ready? Dinner is ready. "
There was no response, only the sound of water. Mother Xu could only raise her voice. "Young Master, Young Master! "
Finally, the water stopped, and a cold reply came from inside, "got it. "
Mother Xu heaved a sigh of relief and went to the dining room to clean up the table. Just then, mother Xin and Chi Xue came back, chatting and laughing. Chi Xue still had a few pockets on her arm, and she returned with a full load.
"Auntie, thank you so much for today. It's all thanks to your help! " Chi Xue said and laughed.
"We're a family. Don't be so polite in the future. " Mother Xin also laughed. "Tomorrow, I'll find some people to help you take care of the shop. Choose a good day, and you can open the shop! "
"thank you, but I still have to say it. Without your help, I really don't know when I can open the shop! " Chi Xue held mother Xin's hand like a mother and daughter.
When mother Xu saw them, she thought of Xin Zimo, who was silent and full of worries. In comparison, she sighed heavily.
"Mother Xu, mother Xu! " Mother Xin stopped her. "Is Dinner Ready? "
"Oh, oh, it's all ready. " Mother Xu forced a smile and walked to the kitchen.
"Mother Xu seems to have something on her mind today... " Chi Xue looked at mother Xu's back and said suspiciously.
"maybe it's about her son's work. She's been quite annoyed recently, but I've talked to Zimo. I'll definitely arrange a good job for her son. " Mother Xin didn't mind.
"It's possible! " Chi Xue changed out of her slippers after entering the door, but she was surprised to see Xin Zimo's shoes on the shoe rack. "Auntie, is brother Zimo back? "
Mother Xin threw all the big and small bags on the SOFA. "It's impossible. Your brother Zimo won't come back until seven o'clock at night. "
Just when Chi Xue thought she had seen wrongly, Xin Zimo came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after taking a shower. He didn't even bother to wave and went straight to his room upstairs.
"ZIMO! " When Xin saw him, she hurriedly stopped him. "Why are you back so early today? "
Xin Zimo didn't answer, as if he didn't hear what Xin Zimo said.
It wasn't until Xin Zimo closed the door that Xin Zimo pouted unhappily. "The older you get, the more insensible you become! "
"Auntie, why does brother Zimo look like he has something on his mind... "
"What could he have on his mind? It's probably another project in the company that has a thorny problem. "
"Oh, it's possible. Should I go and ask brother Zimo to come down for dinner? "
"No need. After a while, when he's better, you can send it up to him. " Mother Xin smiled at Chi Xue.
"I... " Chi Xue lowered her head. "Alright, I'll send it up to brother Zimo later. "
"Little Xue, there's a saying that goes, 'the closer you are to the water, the better it is. ' Do you understand what I mean? " Mother Xin caressed Chi Xue's hair tenderly. "No matter how many plants and flowers Zimo has outside, you're still incomparable to them. "
"But... " Chi Xue had great misgivings. "But I am not worthy of brother Zimo. He is too outstanding... and I... Have nothing... "
"WHO said that? " "Once the shop opens, you can live the life you want with your own hard work. Who Dares to say that you aren't? ". "Moreover, you have studied in the UK for many years. You have to be talented, have good looks, and have a personality. It's really hard to find someone with such a personality. " Mother Xin was very satisfied with Chi Xue In other words, she had never forgotten the favor that the Chi family had done for the Xin family many years ago.
Chi Xue did not speak anymore, but there was still a knot in her heart, and that was du Anran.
She could never forget that night at the Du family's villa. He had shouted at her, and he treated those wedding photos as treasures. Perhaps others could not see how good he was to du Anran, and only saw how he had exterminated the DU family, but everything was clearly in her eyes.
During dinner, Xin Zimo did not come down. Chi Xue ate for a while and seemed to remember something. "Aiya, Auntie, look at my memory. The last time you asked me to go to the DU family's villa to pick a few precious Sapphire Chrysanthemums and rouge to light the snow, I seem to have forgotten. "
"Look at you. You must have been too busy these days. You must go and pick a few of the best ones in a few days. It will definitely add a lot of splendor to the opening ceremony. "
"Are the DU family's Sapphire Chrysanthemums and Rouge and snow really that beautiful? " Chi Xue was dubious.
"It's said that Bai Ruyun liked them very much back then. Du Yuanheng had someone specially find them. It took a lot of effort and cost a lot of money. The key was that these two kinds of flowers were very difficult to find, especially Bai Ruyun's flower seeds. They were even one in a hundred. Speaking of Bai Ruyun, what I admire most about her is probably this flower-making plant,"mother Xin said indifferently.
"then I really need to broaden my horizons, " Chi Xue said with a smile.
"I heard that the DU family only has a few plants in total, and no one has taken care of them for such a long time. I wonder if these flowers are still alive. "
"But... the shop won't be able to leave for the next few days. I'm afraid I really won't have time to move the flowers, " Chi Xue said with a face full of pity. "I'll get a few workers to help move them tomorrow. I'm just afraid that someone will break the flower pot carelessly. "
"That's easy. Your aunt is free anyway. I'll help you go tomorrow. " Mother Xin smiled and took the pot.
"then I'm 100% relieved! " Chi Xue was very happy.
"Come, eat more. Remember to bring food to Zimo later. " Mother Xin quickly put food in Chi Xue's bowl.
"okay, I'll remember. Thank you, aunt. "
"Don't mention it. This child... " Mother Xin smiled dotingly.
The night was cold and the sky was dark very early in the morning. After mother Xu cleaned up the table, Chi Xue specially cooked a few of her best dishes. After so many days of observation, she already knew what Xin Zimo liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat.
There might be setbacks on the road to love, but she thought that if she didn't try hard, how could she give the ending so easily... ...
