Chapter 7
She looked at the man. He was standing by the window in the light, she could not see his appearance clearly, but the sun clearly illuminated the outline of his body.
According to rumors, the new chairman of the Nova Group, Chu Xiujin, was only 1.67 meters tall, but looking at the tall man by the window, Meng Yu was dumbfounded.
Meng Yu was 1.65 meters tall and she was wearing a pair of 5 cm high heels on her feet, but the person was still half a head taller than her visually, so his height was definitely not less than 1.8 meters.
Probably it was too much different from the rumors, she blurted out her doubts subconsciously, "Are you Mr. Chu?"
He walked over from the window and said, "I am Chu Xiujin. I'm sorry, I was resting just now, so the curtains are all drawn. I hope I didn’t scare you Miss Meng." He walked to the sofa and signaled her to sit down, "Miss Meng, please sit down."
Then she saw his face clearly. With short hair, the man looked neat and refreshing. He was wearing custom-fitted trousers, and his clothes were very neat, and there were no wrinkles. Like the entire Nova building, he looked very solemn.
The most incredible thing was his appearance. It was said that he was very ugly and his face was full of red bumps. But the man in front of her not only did not have red bumps, but there were no blemishes on his face. His facial features were extremely delicate, especially his eyes. The ends of the eyes were slightly curved, giving out a sense of charm. The distinct outline of his face revealed a masculine calmness, it was not too feminine.
Meng Yu recovered her sense and sat down on the sofa. She was mentally prepared for this journey. She had already made the worst assumptions about his appearance and height. She came to see him today because she wanted to ask some questions.
However, his appearance and figure obviously exceeded her expectations.
It was really strange. He was obviously good-looking and had a good figure. Why did the outsiders spread false rumours about him? As the leader of Nova, why would he ignore those rumours.
While thinking about it, the assistant came in with a pot of tea for the two of them. Meng Yu picked it up and took a sip. Then she heard the man say, "Why do you want to see me? Miss Meng?"
Meng Yu raised her eyes and looked at him. It was true that the man was good-looking, and he was also very polite and kind to others, but he had an unfathomable aura on his body, which subconsciously made people think that this was a very dangerous person. Facing him was like facing the bottomless abyss, and she couldn't ignore how this man once stood out from the bloody battles of the Xia family’s internal struggle and became the final victor.
The key was that he was still very young, because this made him even more awe-inspiring.
And this man was about to become her husband.
Meng Yu felt more uncomfortable thinking about this. She put the cup down, lowered her head not to look at his face.
"I have a few questions to ask Mr. Chu."
"What are you questions?"
"That's... Mr. Chu, I know that the person you want to marry at the beginning is my sister, and my sister is indeed a good candidate for a wife... It’s just... My sister and I are much different in terms of identity and personal achievements. I don’t know why Mr. Chu agreed to let them change the bride to me instead?"
"First of all, you made a mistake. It's not that I want to marry your sister. It was my family that arranged for me to marry your sister. Secondly, for me, whoever I marry to is the same."
Meng Yu realised that it was not that there was something special about her that made him finally agree to the Wang family's request. For him, he just wanted to marry a wife, it was as simple as completing a task.
In fact, his answer made Meng Yu breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, it was easy for her to say what she wanted to say next.
"Mr. Chu, there is one more thing I want to make clear to you before getting married, and I hope you can think about it carefully and then reconsider whether you want to marry me or not."
"Okay."
"I... I had a boyfriend who I had been in a relationship with for several years. Of course we broke up now. I used to love him very much and spent a lot of effort to be with him. I don't know if I will ever be in love with another man again. Mr. Chu, the reason why I want to tell you this is that I want to know if you mind that your future wife had been in a relationship with another man for so long, or if your wife once loved another man deeply."
After a long silence, she heard the man say with a deep voice, "I am not a person who is interested in other people’s past."
That would be great. Meng Yu said and got up, "Okay, thank you for taking the time to see me. That’s all I want to ask."
Chu Xiujin called his assistant and told him to send Meng Yu back. He was quite considerate. After all, he was a person who she would marry to in the future. She was probably going to spend a very long time with him in the future. In short, Meng Yu was very satisfied with this meeting. Chu Xiujin was not as scary as the rumors. Not the kind of man she disliked.
Xiao Qi originally took a few days off because he wanted to find Meng Yu, but Ai Qing suddenly fell ill. He had no choice but to come back to take care of her for two days. After the vacation was over, he had to go back to the company and could not take care of her personally, so he had to hire a caregiver for Ai Qing.
The morning was originally the most energetic and usually the busiest time for Xiao Qi, but today he was obviously absent-minded. He took out his mobile phone to call Meng Yu, his number was still on her blacklist, and he couldn't get through to her.
He rubbed his eyebrows and heard a knock on the door. The door did not close. He faintly responded, "Come in."
It was Han Moran who came in. He said to him, "Has the latest data been evaluated?"
Xiao Qi said, "still working on it."
Han Moran patted him on the shoulder, "Your efficiency has slowed down recently. Is it because you know that Meng Yu is getting married?"
Xiao Qi suddenly turned to look at Han Moran, "You... What did you just say, who is getting married?"
"You, you still don't you know?"
Xiao Qi suddenly stood up from the table, "You said Meng Yu is getting married? With who?"
"My little uncle." Han Moran looked at him in suspicion, "you really don’t know?”
Xiao Qi's expression changed rapidly. His stiffened body twitched from time to time. He suddenly remembered that the last time he went to see her, she seemed to have told him that she was getting married. At the time he only thought that she was deliberately teasing him. She was a little childish sometimes, and always liked to talk nonsense to tease him so as to attract his attention, so he didn't keep it in mind when she said that.
Perhaps in his heart, he didn't think she would really marry someone, and she would return to him sooner or later.
So she wasn't teasing him, she was really going to get married?
After a long silence, he suddenly pulled out the USB flash drive and stuffed it into Han Moran's hands.
"Please do the evaluation for me. I have to go to Yancheng."
Because he used to come to Yancheng to find Meng Yu before, Xiao Qi bought a car and left it at the airport for convenience. He drove to the community where Meng Yu lived. Unexpectedly, he saw her car coming out from a distance. Xiao Qi turned the car around and hurriedly followed.
Meng Yu planned to go to the mall to buy some facial masks. Although her skin was naturally good, as a little fairy, she never dared to let her guards down when it came to the maintenance of her skin. Moreover, she was about to get married. Although the wedding may be just a show, it was still a very important event in her life after all; she had to show her best look. In short, in her life rules, Meng Yu can't be ugly.
Meng Yu parked the car in the open-air parking lot of the mall, and Xiao Qi's car soon drove in. He parked the car and saw her walking towards the entrance of the mall. Xiao Qi quickly followed.
Meng Yu heard someone calling her behind him before entering the mall.
"Meng Yu."
Meng Yu heard Xiao Qi's voice, but it was different from the past. At this moment, Xiao Qi's voice was anxious.
Meng Yu turned his head to look at the person, and she saw Xiao Qi slowly walking towards him.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Qi didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on her, his eyes turned red a little, and his thin lips were tightly pressed into a line. She knew him too well, this expression meant that he was angry, and his anger had reached the limit. When he was angry, he often chose to suppress to tanger. Generally he would not reveal it, but when he was angry to a certain degree, even his cold appearance couldn't conceal it completely.
Meng Yu didn't understand why Xiao Qi would look at her with such a look.
His state at the moment really surprised her. Meng Yu asked him again, "You follow me all the way here? Why?"
He finally said, "Are you going to get married?"
He followed her all the way here just for this?
"Yes, I'm getting married."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
His voice was tense and faintly angry.
"I already told you, you didn't believe it."
His jawline suddenly tightened, and his hands clenched into fists in an instant. She knew he was restraining, probably restraining anger.
She rarely saw Xiao Qi angry, he always looked cold, no matter how big things happened to him, he would not let them affect his emotions.
But now she obviously felt that he was angry. Was it because she knew that she was getting married? This was really incredible. It turned out she would also care about her so much. He deliberately rushed over from Shen City and followed her all the way here just to question whether she was going to get married.
Was this the Xiao Qi who had always been cold in front of her? He never paid attention to her. He was often indifferent to what she wanted to do.
"When is the wedding?"
"Three months later."
"Three months?" He gritted his teeth and said those words, suppressing his anger to the extreme, but the anger in his tone was still easily noticeable, "Why?" he asked .
"All people would get married eventually. There is no special reason."
He stared at her eyes, his lips pressed into a line, his eyes overflowing with uncontrollable anger.
He just looked at her like this, and for a moment, she even worried that his nager would burst out in the next second.
However, he suddenly closed his eyes and opened them after a while, and the anger in his eyes had calmed down. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes, and whispered to her, "Can you cancel the wedding? I know I didn't do well before, but I will slowly make up for it later."
Unlike the scary look he had when he suppressed his anger earlier, at this time, he was very gentle, with a comforting tone, as if he was begging. He had never been so gentle to her before. Moreover, he had never begged her in such a low voice.
He was her male god, she used to love the male god so much. He was indifferent and arrogant and always ignored her, but as long as he smiled at her a little, she would go through hell for him.
Thinking about the last time he appeared suddenly as he did now. He cleaned the room for her and cooked for her. He was so considerate that she almost decided to get back to him.
But later, another woman made him leave in a hurry with a phone call. At that time, she hated herself for almost changing her mind.
She would never repeat the same mistake again, and she would never want to be the past Meng Yu again!
So ...... she coldly pushed his hand away and said, "I will not cancel the wedding, I will become someone else's wife, and there is no future for us.."
If you would like to support this translation, you may choose any one of the options below.
Exactly, he missed his chance and never appreciated her. Everything could have changed when she told him to break up but he was just indifferent and when he had the last chance he buried it by going with the other woman, he could well have hired someone to take care of her but no. It's obvious that he will never put the protagonist as his priority.
