Chapter 2
It took a long time for her to receive his reply, and he said "okay."
As clean and neat as ever, and as cold and ruthless as ever.
After Meng Yu returned to Yancheng, she went to Japan for work. She stayed there for a few days. She never contacted Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi did not take the initiative to contact her either.
It wasn't until she went to Japan did she learn about Ai Qing from Xiao Qi's friends. She was indeed his neighbor in his hometown. After graduating from high school, she went out to work. She found a rich man to marry and gave birth to a daughter. However, that man had a tendency to domestic violence, so Ai Qing had to divorce him and seek help from Xiao Qi with her daughter.
Xiao Qi was very considerate. He bought a house for her directly in Shen City and also helped her find a job. Her daughter’s kindergarten was also paid for by Xiao Qi, and it was Shen City’s famous aristocratic kindergarten.
But he had never told her about these things, and what he wanted to do had never had anything to do with her, and she seemed to be really irrelevant to him.
After returning from Japan, Meng Yu talked to her good friend Xia Han. After spending a few days in Japan, she seemed to have the courage to tell the story between Xiao Qi and her.
Not surprisingly, Xia Han persuaded her to break up with him after hearing it.
She had also thought about it, but after all, she was still not willing to give up. She had already made up her mind to stay with the man until the end no matter what, how could she give up so easily?
But that day came sooner than expected.
Meng Yu still remembered that it was a sunny morning. She heard that Xia Han went to Shen City. She didn’t know if it was because she wanted to go to Shen City to meet her friends or because she hoped to be able to meet Xiao Qi in Shen City. Meng Yu also followed the next day.
Xiao Qi and Xia Han’s husband, Han Moran, were in the same company. Han Moran was Xiao Qi’s boss and the person who took him into his company. Speaking of which, Xiao Qi and Han Moran knew each other because of her.
When Xia Han and Han Moran got married, Meng Yu was not with Xiao Qi. It took her a lot of effort to persuade Xiao Qi to accompany her to the wedding. At Xia Han’s wedding, Meng Yu introduced Han Moran and Xiao Qi to each other, both of whom were in the computer industry. The two hit it off right away after the initial introduction. It didn’t take long for Han Moran to hire Xiao Qi with a generous offer.
Xia Han went to Pangda Leading, and she went to Pangda Leading to find Xia Han. Xiao Qi was the vice president of Pangda Leading, so maybe she could meet him there.
The two had not seen each other for many days, and they had no contact with each other. If they met by chance, maybe it was the opportunity for them to reconcile.
But the facts exceeded her expectations. She did run into Xiao Qi, but she also ran into Ai Qing and her daughter.
They also came here to find Xiao Qi.
She saw them as soon as she entered the entrance of Pangda Leading, Xiao Qi squatted beside the little girl to talk to her, with an amiable smile on his face, Ai Qing stood aside and looked at them with contentment.
For a moment, she even felt that she had hallucinations, as if they should be together. They got along so well, and she was just an irrelevant spectator, who disguised herself as Xiao Qi’s girlfriend.
It turned out that Xiao Qi could also smile so tenderly when he was so loving, but he had never shown such an expression in front of her.
Obviously the weather in Shen City was still warm and pleasant, but she felt the cold wind blowing in her ears, freezing to the bone.
She felt like her relationship with him was a tragedy.
Xiao Qi noticed her very soon. He slowly stood up, and the loving expression on his face gradually disappeared.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
Only then did Meng Yu come back to her senses. Seeing Xia Han waving at her, she adjusted her breathing, trying to answer in a calm tone, "I'm looking for Xia Han."
He glanced at Xia Han and was silent for a while. "Do you want to eat together?"
"No need."
He didn't speak any more.
The little girl called Huan Huan suddenly ran up to her. She took out a lollipop from her bag and handed it to her. She looked up at her, her big eyes were innocent and pure, "I brought a candy for auntie. "
Looking at the child in front of her, she really wanted to kick her away. She didn’t know whether the person named Ai Qing was doing it intentionally. She clearly knew that Xiao Qi had a girlfriend, but she still took the children to find him in his company. It was as if she feared that others would not know how close they were. Did she not know that she needed to keep her distance away from the man that had already been taken?
So she felt annoyed that she even disliked this child.
However, the child was innocent after all, and she didn't take out her anger on a kid.
In the end, she resisted the urge to swear and said, "Thank you." Just as she was about to reach out to take the candy, the little girl smiled sweetly at her, "can I help auntie to remove the packaging?"
She peeled off the candy packaging clumsily and handed it to her, "Auntie eat."
She glanced at Xiao Qi and the woman named Ai Qing. There were several Pangda Leading staff beside her. In the end, she still didn't want to hurt the child because of the indifference of adults.
She squatted down so the little girl could deliver the candy into her mouth. However, after putting it in her mouth, she didn't let it go, but clenched it and stabbed it deep in her throat.
The candy almost went deep into her throat, and the intense pain caused her to cough, and subconsciously pushed the child forward with her hand.
Probably because she was too strong, the girl was pushed directly to the ground by her, and she burst into tears. Seeing this, Ai Qing walked over to help the girl up. The girl cried heartbreakingly. Ai Qing lifted up her trouser cuff and saw that the ankle was obviously swollen. Her eyes teared up with distress, and she stared at Xiao Qi in a panic, "what should I do?"
Xiao Qi was rather calm, and said, "you hold your child to the door and wait for me. I will drive and take her to the hospital."
Ai Qing was probably really worried about the child. She hurriedly hugged the child and ran to the door.
In fact, when the girl was just pushed down, Meng Yu was also shocked by the reaction force and fell back on the ground, but Xiao Qi ignored her the whole time. His attention was focused on the mother and her daughter.
In the end, Xia Han came over and helped her up.
Before leaving, Xiao Qi finally glanced at her, but it was not a concerned look, with a silent condemnation, with an undisguised coldness in his eyes.
"I didn't do it on purpose. Xiao Qi, she just shoved that candy into my throat."
He didn't say a word, turned and walked towards the elevator. She knew he was in a hurry, and he wanted to take the little girl to the hospital. He didn't like her waywardness, and she had always tried not to be wayward with him.
But looking at his panicked look, a pang of anger suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart. Why was he panicking? Was he so worried about the little girl? She was his girlfriend, did he not care about her at all?
So she said to his back, "Xiao Qi, I was hurt too."
‘I also need your care.’
‘Don't leave, don't let me give up on you completely.’
Hearing her words, his steps stopped, but only for a moment he continued to walk forward without turning his head back.
At this moment, she finally decided.
Her heart was not made of iron, and she couldn't stand the injury again and again.
Enough was enough. After so many years, his indifference had been cruel enough, but now there was another woman he cared about, and she would only get hurt more and more in the future.
‘Tired, I’m tired.’
‘So, let's end it, Xiao Qi.’
She knew that it would take a while for Xiao Qi to take the little girl to the hospital. She asked Xia Han to take her to the beach for some fresh air before she asked Xia Han to take her to the apartment where Xiao Qi lived.
…..
This time, she didn't use her fingerprint to unlock, she knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside within a short while.
It was Ai Qing who opened for them. She was wearing an apron and she had noodles on her hands. She should have just left the kitchen.
Further inside, Xiao Qi and Huan Huan were sitting in the living room. Xiao Qi was teaching Huan Huan to recognize textbooks. She had always felt that Xiao Qi's apartment was too deserted, but now the room was full of laughter, but it was extraordinarily warm.
Meng Yu felt that all this was really ironic.
Ai Qing didn't show any sign of blaming her after she saw her. Her daughter was injured because of her, but she still invited them in very enthusiastically.
She and Xiao Qi haven't broken up yet, but she behaved more like the hostess here than she did.
Meng Yu and Xia Han entered the room together. Huan Huan became timid when she saw her and she tried to hide behind Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi's big palm stroked her head as if to comfort her.
"Your face doesn't look so good, are you not well?" Xiao Qi asked her.
Was this considered his care for her? But his concern had no effect on her now.
"I have something to tell you, can I talk to you alone?"
Xiao Qi stared at her face for a long time, he nodded, "Okay."
The two went to the balcony. It was the setting sun at this time, and several succulents she planted were placed on the balcony platform.
"What do you want to tell me?" he asked.
She looked at the man in front of her, his appearance as handsome and charming as she first saw him.
It was not long after the university started, and she was dragged by her classmates to participate in the activities of the computer department. She met him at the activities. The first time she saw him, she was fascinated by him. His looks, his temperament, and his voice, everything about him fascinated her.
That was the first time she fell in love with a boy. At that time, she silently swore in her heart that she must get this man.
How confident she was back then. It was ridiculous to think about it now.
She looked at the sunset in the distance, and she heard herself say to him in a very calm voice, "Xiao Qi, let's break up."
She never thought of saying this to Xiao Qi. She had liked him so much.
But it didn't seem to be as heavy as she thought. She even had a sense of pleasure. ‘Look, Xiao Qi, I liked you so much. I gave the control to you, but in the end I still dumped you.’
