Married for a long time

Qiao Xiya sighed, touched his hand again, and was shocked, "Brother, your hands are so cold, or..."

"I'm fine." Qiao Peiyu raised his hand to stop her. Facing her worried eyes, he smiled lightly, "I won't collapse before I see her."

"But……"

Qiao Xiya said anxiously, "It's so cold outside, how can your body withstand it?"

Perhaps he is now so obsessed with Su Li that he can ignore everything, and is even paralyzed by the feeling of longing for her body.

But once the tense nerve is loosened, the obsession disappears completely.

She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

She felt that it would be indispensable to go back to the ancestral hall to admit her mistake this time.

"When sister comes back, I'll call you. You can come over again."

"What if she comes back right after I leave?"

"Ah this..."

Qiao Xiya murmured for a long time, but couldn't find the right words to persuade him. In the end, she could only sigh and squatted next to him, "Brother, you have been with sister for so long, and you like her so much, why don't you just go with her directly?" What did your parents say?"

"My parents treat her as their biological daughter. If I marry you, wouldn't it be the same as being closer to her?"

Qiao Peiyu tilted his head. Under the illumination of the incandescent lamp in the short corridor, his already fair skin looked even paler and bloodless.

The four years they had been together were not only sweet and earth-shattering, but they were indeed happy. They looked at each other and smiled while rubbing their ears, and they could see their own figures and light in each other's eyes.

Therefore, he wanted to tell his parents about this seemingly shady relationship more than once.

But Su Li was always unwilling. As long as he persisted, she would choose to escape.

Su Li has developed a submissive character from her uncle and aunt since she was a child. She is cautious and prudent, but when encountering this matter, she will also rarely weigh the pros and cons.

The affection and family she received was not easy, and she cherished it more than anyone else. Even though she knew it was not a long-term solution, her heart sank on one side, and on the other, she was bound by family affection and the grace of upbringing.

In fact, she heard what Yu Qingyuan said to Qiao Yixing at that time, "Ah Li can only be a daughter, not a daughter-in-law."

And it was deeply engraved in her heart. During that time, even in her dreams at midnight, it was Yu Qingyuan's words, so she kept suppressing her newly awakened heart.

It wasn't until the summer when he was 19 years old that Qiao Peiyu took the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper, and the feelings that broke out were completely out of control.

"Yeah, if I had told this earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation now." He laughed at himself, raised his hand to rub his forehead.

"If that sister goes back, what are you going to do?"

"Marry her."

"My parents' place..."

"I'll make them agree."

The brother and sister chatted nonstop, as if this could make them forget the passage of time and the biting cold wind.

But after waiting for three hours, there was still no movement outside.

There are four households on each floor, and they are all people who work here. It will be the New Year, and most people have gone back to celebrate the New Year, so for more than three hours, the corridor was quiet and no one moved around.

"It's already eleven o'clock, why isn't Su Li back yet?" Qiao Xiya hammered her sore legs and looked back at Qiao Peiyu, "Brother, do you think she hasn't returned to Nandu?"

"Or... she guessed that we would come to find her, go to a friend's house or... stay in a hotel outside? Just to avoid us?"

Qiao Peiyu pursed his lips, this was really possible.

I don't know when the code on this door was changed, but at least I can understand that she is guarding against him.

Apart from her Nandu family, how could she not know that they could also think of this. "Gulu——"

Qiao Xiya's stomach suddenly growled, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Come to think of it, they haven't eaten anything since they took the plane in the afternoon.

There was originally an in-flight meal on the plane, but she found it unpalatable and mumbled a few words.

Qiao Peiyu looked deeply at the door, "Let's go."

"Ah, just leave..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Qiao Peiyu slowly walking toward the elevator while holding on to the wall.

In fact, his body had already reached its limit, but he kept holding on. Now he knew that Su Li was most likely not at home. He just felt that all the air-conditioning around him was poured into the down jacket, restraining him tightly and making it difficult to bear.

"elder brother……"

Qiao Xiya quickly stepped forward to support him, "Are you okay..."

"It's okay." Qiao Peiyu shook his head, "You can call a taxi on your mobile phone and go to the hotel where we stayed before..."

"Wait a minute, let's go to the underground parking lot first."

"what?"

"What are you doing there?"

But Qiao Peiyu refused to say it. When the two of them arrived at the parking lot, he went directly to Area C. There were not many cars parked inside, probably only seven or eight, and they were not parked densely. So at a glance, Qiao Peiyu Peiyu saw his familiar black Maybach.

Gioia also recognized the car.

"She's still here." Qiao Peiyu smiled softly, "Maybe you are right, she is avoiding us, let's go first."

But for three consecutive days, on the seventh day of the lunar month, more people came back to work, but Qiao Peiyu and Qiao Xiya found nothing.

He couldn't contact Su Li, let alone wait for her.

In the past few days, Yu Qingyuan made three or four phone calls a day to scold the brothers and sisters. On the third night, she finally couldn't hold back and flew to Nandu.

When he arrived at the hotel, he scolded them both, then became concerned about Qiao Peiyu's health, and then asked about Su Li.

After knowing that it was fruitless, he pointed at Qiao Peiyu and cursed for half an hour.

The next morning, she also came to the apartment complex where Su Li lived before.

He didn't wait too long, knowing that he was ready to give up and leave before Su Li could wait, when there was sudden movement from the elevator.

"A little girl lived in this house before. She just checked out the rent a few days ago. The house was cleaned very well..."

The old lady of the landlady brought a young man and woman, who seemed to be visiting the house. When they saw the three people in front of the door, they were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately recognized them, "Hey, you are not that Xiao Su's boyfriend." ?"

"Boyfriend?" Yu Qingyuan was confused this time.

Qiao Xiya blinked innocently and looked at Qiao Peiyu.

Qiao Peiyu ignored their looks and nodded slightly to the old landlady, "Hello, how are you doing lately?"

"Okay, my body is pretty strong." The old lady looked at the two people beside him with a smile, "These two are..."

"I'm his sister..."

"You are the landlord of my apartment, Ah Li, right?" Yu Qingyuan snatched Qiao Xiya's words, "I am Su Li's mother. I came here to find her this time. I wonder if you have seen my Ah Li." , I haven’t been able to wait for her these past few days.”

"Ah? Don't you know?" The old lady was particularly shocked, "I thought Xiao Su was going home when she quit the rent and resigned."
