in a dark room.

Qiao Xi leaned her back against the wall, not daring to move, letting Bai Xiaofan be wrapped in her arms.The disparity in strength between men and women lies here, to him, she is at best a dough for him to knead.

At this time, I dare not struggle rashly.

I thought that Bai Xiaofan would lose his temper with her, or ask her aggressively why she was with Lan Shimo again.

But, in the end, surprisingly, there was none.

He just hugged her quietly like this, it's rare to have such a gentleman's gentle side, as if, just like this is very satisfying.

He embraced her, she leaned against him, in the darkness, no one could see anyone's face, but because they couldn't see, the physical feeling became clearer.

It was very quiet, and the bustle outside the room door seemed to be far away from them, isolated from the outside.

Qiao Xi didn't want to provoke Bai Xiaofan, but she couldn't help but turn her head away a little, the smell of alcohol on him was very strong.

Bai Xiaofan seemed to have a feeling in his heart, knowing that Qiao Xi didn't like the smell of alcohol, so the arm around her waist loosened a little.

However, he still refused to let it go, and said, "I had a drink just now, but it wasn't that I drank a lot, you... bear with it first, and then let me hug you for a while."

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and endured it.Suddenly, I felt that the smell of wine was not so unbearable.

"I miss you. I want to hug you like this every day. Before, you would let me hug you obediently at night..." I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, but Bai Xiaofan's words became more and more obscene!

Qiao Xi blushed, and her body was trembling with anger, she became angry with embarrassment: "Bai Xiaofan, you are shameless!"

"Well, I'm shameless, I like it when you say that about me." Bai Xiaofan smiled shamelessly, his eyes glistened in the darkness, obviously not drunk. "It's been a long time since you said that to me."

Qiao Xi suddenly couldn't breathe smoothly—shameless, three words, almost blurted out again.

But, she gritted her teeth and held back!

It's time to get rid of these bad habits. Why bring up the past?

In the silent silence, there are only two breathing sounds of a man and a woman. In the empty room, they are ambiguously entangled, as if they were as intimate as before.

***

Bai Xiaofan hugged her for a long time before letting her go and opening the door to leave.

After he left, Qiao Xi stood alone in the room, leaning against the wall, her feet almost limp.

Her heartbeat, which was obviously still calm, suddenly accelerated.As if, all the feelings came up all at once, lingering.

After tidying up her mood, Qiao Xi opened the door and went out.

When I went to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and saw my incredibly red face, I couldn't help but frowned—fortunately, the light was not turned on in the room just now, otherwise, Bai Xiaofan saw her like this, what should I do? explain?

Qiao Xi laughed at herself at the flushed woman in the mirror.

Unscrewing the water stream, scooping up cold water with both hands, splashing wet his face, until the blush slowly faded, he took out a handkerchief to wipe it off, and dared not go out.

The birthday party should be at its climax, and after seeing Lan Shimo cutting the cake, Qiao Xi wanted to leave, so she told Lan Shimo.

However, this young master of the Lan family brazenly asked her for a gift!

gift?

Qiao Xi was silent—I don't know if the 5-jin bag of fragrant rice in the car and some vegetables, fruits and vegetables she bought at the supermarket can be used as gifts?

Otherwise, she would be gone.

She came in a hurry without changing her clothes, how could she have a gift from Lan Shimo?

However, seeing Lan Shimo's expression of reluctance, Qiao Xi decided to play tricks, took off the scarf around his neck, threw it on him, and said, "Here, a present, I knitted it myself."

I thought Lan Shimo would look down on her, but in the end, he touched the scarf and asked her, "Did you weave it?"

"Hmm." The point is this?

"How long have you been wearing it?"

"Not long ago, this is the second time I'm wearing it." Qiao Xi said, thought for a while, coughed, and said, "Why don't you return the scarf to me, and I'll make it up for you another day."

It seems that the gifts that Lan Shimo received just now are all in the hundreds of thousands to millions. Her scarf, uh, doesn't cost money.

At the beginning, it was woven with Shangjing's leftover wool, and it was worn twice by her.It seems a little impolite to give it to others as a birthday present.

She regretted it.

Upon hearing that Qiao Xi wanted to take it back, Lan Shimo immediately put the scarf on like a baby, and refused, "No! I want this scarf, I like this gift."

Uh, uh?Forehead!Qiao Xi thought she had heard wrong...

She really didn't understand Lan Shimo, or, as Lan Ningning said, Lan Shimo really liked her.

For now, it should be a favorite.

but……

"Lan Shimo, look, the peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet." Qiao Xi pointed to a withered peach blossom tree in the garden, and said meaningfully.

Lan Shimo's expression changed, and he argued fiercely: "It will bloom, and there will always be a day when it will be in full bloom. Now, it's just that the time is wrong."

Qiao Xi nodded, and there was something in her words: "Yes, it's just that the time is wrong."

At the wrong time, no matter who you meet, the final outcome is wrong.

The time between her and Lan Shimo was wrong after all.

Lan Shimo was silent, clutching Qiao Xi's scarf tightly, unable to see his face clearly.

"Lan Shimo, happy birthday." Qiao Xi sent her belated wishes, and then said, "I'm leaving."

When leaving the garden, Qiao Xi ran into Bai Xiaofan again, ignored him, treated him as a transparent person, and the moment he passed by—

Faintly heard him murmur: "I want it too."

what do you want?who knows.

"I'll take you back." Bai Xiaofan followed Qiao Xi, entangled endlessly.

Qiao Xi wanted to say no, but at this moment, Lan Shimo also followed, raised his head, and met Bai Xiaofan's eyes, one cold and the other cruel.

The hostility between them has always been obvious!

"I'll ask the driver to take you home." Lan Shimo said.

At this time, no matter which one he accepts, Qiao Xi feels that it is wrong, like a thorn in his back.

Finally, she bit the bullet and saw the only savior——Zhang Yi, walking towards him!

Qiao Xi asked him: "Let Zhang Yi take me back, is that okay, Zhang Yi?"

Although Zhang Yi didn't know the situation for the time being, he was very sensible and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

With Zhang Yi sending Qiao Xi back, Bai Xiaofan is at ease, he trusts Zhang Yi very much, and has always been.

As for Lan Shimo, although he was not very happy, if it was Zhang Yi, he could still bear it.

It is said that Zhang Yi is gay, isn't he?

***

After getting into Zhang Yi's car, Qiao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She has recently taken the medicine prescribed by a psychiatrist, and she goes to see a psychological test every week, so the shadow on the car is slightly better now.

At least, not as embarrassing as before.

She thought that she should be more cheerful and courageous, but the psychiatrist said that she was not well.

Qiao Xi put on her seat belt and looked at Zhang Yi: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhang Yi nodded, his face still paralyzed, he didn't say anything, started the car, and drove Qiao Xi home.

Along the way, there was silence between the two of them.Qiao Xi didn't intend to find a topic to talk about, because the other party was Zhang Yi, and he was always reticent.

And she is not a talkative person.

Such two people, what they say is in vain.

Back at the gate of the community, Qiao Xi said thank you, and was about to get off the car when Zhang Yi finally spoke——

"Can you stop being so cruel to Bai Xiaofan?"

Qiao Xi paused, cruel?she?

Zhang Yi said without stopping, "Go back to Bai Xiaofan's side, if this continues, he will not be able to concentrate on his work. You know the recent situation of the company is not optimistic."

Of course Qiao Xi knew, but she couldn't stand it if she was charged with cruelty like this!

She is cruel, will make herself like this?

If she was cruel, she would go to see a psychiatrist every week, just because she was afraid that she would really become crazy!

"Think about it." Finally, Zhang Yi said.This was the first time he had said so many things at once.

Qiao Xi endured and endured, and said angrily: "Don't think about it! My meaning has always been very clear, it's just Bai Xiaofan who refuses to let go!"

"If that's the case, why are you angry?" Zhang Yi asked calmly.

Qiao Xi calmed down in an instant, became quiet, didn't say anything more, got out of the car, and hurried into the community.

Just now, she was speechless, not knowing how to refute Zhang Yi's words...

***

The turmoil in the company has been really disturbing lately.I don't know what the reason is, the stock keeps falling, and the performance also plummets.

It seems that any project is bound by people's hands and feet, and it is not going well.

Shang Jing is the head of the public relations department. Recently, he has been running orders and entertaining a lot, but the results are worrying.

If things go on like this, sooner or later the company will suffer from cash flow problems.

None of the above is what Qiao Xi, a car designer, should worry about. At least, her work scope is not in this area.

It's just that it's unavoidable to be a little worried. I don't know if it's his own job, or... Bai Xiaofan.

What the hell is wrong with him?

It's not like him, how could he make the company's situation so bad with his ability?

Or is it that Qin's matter has dealt too much blow to the company?Or... Qin Lan hit him too hard?

Qiao Xi sat in her office, shaking her head, trying to clear up her wild thoughts.

However, the more I want to empty it out, the more clearly some questions and some words will come up.

She remembered what Zhang Yi had said to her before, what did he mean by that?

Could it be that she caused the company to become like this?She made Bai Xiaofan unable to concentrate on his work?

This……

Too far-fetched!

At noon, everyone in the company went out to eat, and Qiao Xi ate the lunch box he had prepared in his office.The phone rang, and it was Shang Jing who called, asking her to go down to the counter on the first floor and sign a courier for her.

So, Qiao Xi covered the lunch box and went downstairs to help the merchant collect the courier.

The elevator door opened, there was someone inside, it was... Mu Xigu?Why is he here?

To enter, or not to enter?Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, but finally, she went in.

Feeling Mu Xigu's gaze on her from time to time, Qiao Xi had no choice but to speak, "Are you here to find Ah Jing?"

Mu Xigu chuckled and shook his head: "No, I've talked to your husband about something, but the conversation fell apart."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and frowned, knowing that Mu Xigu said that on purpose!

Bai Xiaofan is not her husband! !

I don't know what happened between Mu Xigu and Bai Xiaofan, Qiao Xi wanted to ask, but I'm not sure if Mu Xigu would say it.

When approaching the first floor, Mu Xigu suddenly said, "When do you plan to reconcile with Bai Xiaofan?"

"What do you mean by that?" Qiao Xi raised her eyes, puzzled! "Do you think I've been joking around all this time?"

"Qiao Xi, enough is enough. You are too cruel to him like this. You have indeed been hurt, but Bai Xiaofan has done a lot of remedies for you. Now, he doesn't even care about Qin Lan. Do you know about Qin Lan's company? ? Bai Xiaofan withdraws his hand and no longer cares about her, so her company is about to fail. He did this for you."

After Mu Xigu finished speaking, the first floor just arrived, the elevator made a "ding" sound, and the door slowly opened——

Qiao Xi walked out quickly without looking back, she didn't want to listen to what Mu Xigu had to say, and she didn't want to listen to anything!

Be it Zhang Yi or Mu Xigu, they all said she was cruel and thought it was her fault...

But is she really cruel to Bai Xiaofan?No, she didn't!

After signing for Shangjing to receive the courier, Qiao Xi went upstairs and returned to her office, feeling depressed all afternoon, during which time she took a medicine.

After finally getting off work, I got on the bus and got off two stops earlier.Walk back, right to vent!

She couldn't figure it out, how could she be cruel?

After walking for two stops, Qiao Xi saw a long-lost man—Gu Huaiyuan when he returned to the entrance of the community.

How long has she not seen Gu Huaiyuan?

It seems that since Lan Shimo's birthday party last time, she has never seen him again, and she thought he had gone back to M city.

Gu Huaiyuan was dressed in a neat suit, capable and energetic, making him look taller and more handsome.Obviously, he just finished socializing.

He asked Qiao Xi, "Can we talk?"

Qiao Xi was silent for a while, knowing that what was supposed to come would always come, so she nodded and asked, "Do you want to find a cafe?"

"No, just go there." Gu Huaiyuan casually pointed to the bench in the park.

In the secluded park, a man and a woman walked silently. Finally, they chose a place and sat on a bench.

This scene, in the eyes of others, should be a couple, but in fact it is not...

"Are you Bai Xiaofan's wife?"

"Ah."

"Your relationship with Bai Xiaofan...is not good?"

"Ah."

Gu Huaiyuan nodded knowingly, "I read the newspaper and knew your name, but at that time I didn't expect that Qiao Xi was you."

Qiao Xi said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't tell you these things, and you misunderstood."

Gu Huaiyuan shook his head, and said calmly: "You don't need to say sorry, you're not to blame for this matter. I was self-righteous and wanted to pursue you without clarifying your affairs."

Qiao Xi was silent, and didn't know how to answer the words. She always felt a little embarrassed, so she could only say: "Your qualifications are so good, I am not good enough for you. You will definitely find a better woman in the future."

Gu Huaiyuan didn't want to hear the polite words, he just wanted to know an answer: "Will you divorce Bai Xiaofan?"

"Ah."

Gu Huaiyuan looked deeply into the distance, and asked thoughtfully, "Then after you and Bai Xiaofan divorce, will you accept my pursuit?"

"...You don't mind?" Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, she was already a married woman, could he still accept her?

Gu Huaiyuan smiled lightly: "I thought I would mind, so I never came to you. But now, I can't help but come to you."

His answer is obvious.

But Qiao Xi's answer is unknown.
