Zhuo Xi said: "Don't be stupid, we are colleagues..."
"In your heart, am I just a colleague?" Qin Manli asked disappointedly.
If she asked this, Zhuo Xi would have said yes frankly, but now, he didn't dare to be so direct.
Seeing that her mood had calmed down a bit now, Zhuo Xi changed the subject: "Manli, what happened? You can't think of it like this?"
Qin Manli was silent for a moment.
Zhuo Xi said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, but you must not do stupid things. There is something that can't be solved, right?"
Qin Manli finally said it out: "I was deceived. That bastard Xu Jinghao has been married a long time ago and has children. It's just that his wife and children are abroad, so he keeps pretending to be single."
Zhuo Xi was surprised: "He is already married? Then...how could he agree to get married to you?"
"Yes, he easily agreed to marry me, so I believed him. It is not easy for a man to promise marriage to a woman, which shows that he attaches great importance to this relationship. This is how I was deceived by him.
I pressed him again and again, but he kept using all kinds of excuses. It wasn’t until some time ago that I found out that he already had a wife and children..."
When Qin Manli said this, she cried uncontrollably: "I believe him so much, but he actually lied to me from the beginning. Since I grew up in the United States, I should take this kind of thing very lightly, so why bother with it?"
I don’t have that marriage certificate? I had a big fight with him and broke up with him, and then he promised me that he would definitely divorce his wife.”
"Originally, I thought he was really divorced because he proposed to me. I took the initiative to announce the marriage, but... he still lied to me... His proposal was fake, and the divorce was even more fake.
How could he divorce his wife? His father-in-law and mother-in-law gave him what he has today. Am I stupid? The man I thought I could trust for life actually asked me to be a mistress!"
When Zhuo Xi heard this, he was also very angry: "You just break up with such a scumbag. Whenever you let me see him, I must teach him a lesson!" Then he said to Qin Manli, "Why are you so stupid?
, Isn’t it too easy for such a man to commit suicide?"
Qin Manli said: "Is my life a failure?" She leaned on the hospital bed and stared ahead without focus. "In the eyes of others, I have a successful career and am famous and profitable. But for a woman
The most precious love has always been unavailable. I used to like you, but no matter how hard I tried, you would never take a serious look at me. Later I figured it out, instead of waiting painfully for a man who doesn’t love me, it’s better to find a man who doesn’t love me.
Marry a man who treats me well and can be relied upon. However, fate has repeatedly teased me, everything is a lie..."
Zhuo Xi felt very uncomfortable. Qin Manli's current mentality was partly because of herself. If she hadn't let her down in the first place, she wouldn't have accepted Xu Jinghao so easily. You know, how many people in the business and entertainment circles are attracted to her.
No matter what, she rejected them one by one.
"There are still many good men in this world..." Zhuo Xi had no choice but to say something harmless.
It was actually inappropriate for him to say these words. He was the good man Qin Manli said, but the good man didn't like her. For her, being comforted by the man she liked said, "Go find it, there are good men out there."
"There are many" is simply a travesty.
Qin Manli turned to look at him: "So...who is my good man?"
Her gaze made Zhuo Xi dare not look directly at her.
On the other side, Lin Anxin touched Xixi's hot forehead while waiting anxiously for Zhuo Xi. Xixi's face turned red and she couldn't even withdraw the cold towel. Lin Anxin panicked and called several times in succession.
No one answered Zhuoxi's phone calls.
It turned out that when Zhuo Xi went to Qin Manli's house, she accidentally left her mobile phone at her house.
Lin Anxin's heart cooled down inch by inch. Has Zhuo Xi come? She can't wait anymore, what should she do? She suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, just like Zhou Xiaoshuang, no matter how strong she is, when her child is sick
, still hoping to get help from a man.
The phone call in his hand was finally dialed to Yin Haoze's cell phone.
Yin Haoze had already fallen asleep, but he woke up alert when he heard the phone call. His phone was on 24 hours a day, and the big reason was that it was on for Lin Anxin.
Lu Xiaowen beside her turned over and continued to sleep.
"An Xin, what's wrong?"
Hearing Yin Haoze's voice, Lu Xiaowen opened her eyes suddenly. Why was Lin Anxin calling so late?
"What?! Xixi has a fever? Okay, wait for me, I'll be right over."
Yin Haoze did not explain to Lu Xiaowen, and stood up and left without saying anything, leaving Lu Xiaowen sitting alone in the dark.
She kept comforting herself because the child was sick, and Lin Anxin was alone at home and naturally needed help. However, another voice was also asking herself: Why didn't she go to Zhuoxi? Why did she have to go to Zhuoxi at night?
Did you call me while you were lying next to Yin Haoze?
Lu Xiaowen felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't relieve herself, so she had to cover herself with the quilt and try not to let her thoughts wander.
Yin Haoze rushed to Lin An's house. Fortunately, it was night and there were not many cars, so he arrived quickly.
He picked up the unconscious Xixi and got directly into the car. Lin Anxin followed closely behind him. Looking at his broad and tall back, she suddenly shed tears uncontrollably.
Is it God's will? Why does he always show up every time he needs someone? Lin Anxin's heart was completely shaken at that moment. If...if Yin Haoze stayed by his side on such a night, maybe he wouldn't have waited in vain
so long……
Yin Haoze asked: "Why did you notify me so late? Has Zhuo Xi not come here since you moved away from Zhuo's house?"
Lin Anxin was speechless and could only say vaguely: "I called him. Maybe there was something delayed..."
"It's so irresponsible to just leave you two here. His mother is very important, so aren't you important?"
"Forget it, Haoze, he also has his difficulties." Lin Anxin said this for Yin Haoze, but also for himself.
Yin Haoze didn't have much to say, so he could only sigh: "After all, Xixi is not his biological child..."
His words hurt Lin Anxin deeply, but Lin Anxin didn't want to admit her sadness in front of him, so she had to say: "He didn't think so, maybe something delayed him."
Xixi was sent to the emergency room. After infusion, cooling and other treatments, she broke out in a sweat and her body temperature dropped.
The doctor prescribed some medicine and said that he could stay in the hospital for one day for observation, or he could go home now. If he still had a fever, he could try taking medicine or physical cooling.
The emergency room was still very busy at night, as hospitals always are, with no quiet time. Lin Anxin was worried that Xixi had been struggling all night, and if she didn't sleep well, she might as well go home.
When Yin Haoze went to get medicine, he passed another emergency room and suddenly stopped.
Isn't that woman on the hospital bed none other than Qin Manli? And the man sitting next to her, hugging her, is Zhuo Xi.
Waves of anger surged in Yin Haoze's heart. Lin Anxin waited anxiously at home, eagerly waiting for him to come home and send the child to the hospital. Fortunately, he turned out to be with another woman.
Yin Haoze wanted to rush up and beat him up, but since this was a hospital and he didn't want Lin Anxin to be sad again, he suppressed the anger in his heart and went to get the medicine.
When he came back, his face was a little ugly. Lin Anxin saw something was wrong and asked quickly: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you came in too fast and you have a cold? Otherwise, let's see a doctor."
Yin Haoze waved his hand casually: "I'm fine." After saying that, he picked up Xixi and kissed him on the forehead, "Son, let's go home!"
After saying that, he naturally pulled up Lin Anxin and said: "From now on, if you have any problems, just come to me directly and don't bother others. You know, not everyone wants to be troubled."
Lin Anxin heard that there was something in his words, so she didn't feel like asking any more questions for a while.
The three of them were about to leave when suddenly Zhuo Xi came out of the emergency room carrying a soup bowl and bumped into Lin Anxin.
The four of them were stunned.
Lin Anxin's face suddenly turned pale: "Zhuo Xi... why are you here?"
Only then did Zhuo Xi remember that Lin Anxin called him to tell him that Xixi was sick and was waiting for him to pick them up. But he forgot all about it for a moment.
He was full of guilt, but as soon as he saw Yin Haoze pulling Lin Anxin, and the three of them were so close and uncomfortable, he knew that even without him, Lin Anxin would call Yin Haoze to help.
Yin Haoze sneered: "Why is he here? It's naturally because of women. If you have a woman, will you still care about Xixi and you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Xi responded coldly: "Yes, you care about other people's girlfriends more than anyone else?" As he said that, he looked at Yin Haoze holding Lin Anxin's hand.
Lin Anxin subconsciously withdrew her hand. Is there another woman? Through the crack in the door, she saw the woman inside, it was Qin Manli.
It was her.
Isn't she already getting married? Why is she with Zhuo Xi?
Lin Anxin's heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. The misunderstanding between the three people made the air stick together, making it feel suffocating and uncomfortable.
Xixi's words brought a few people back to their senses. Lin Anxin whispered: "Let's leave first. You should take good care of Miss Qin."
Zhuo Xi didn't respond, and stared blankly as Lin Anxin lowered her head and walked a few steps quickly. Yin Haoze turned back and glanced at him, then hugged Xixi and left.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital door, Lin Anxin burst into tears. She didn't know what happened. Shouldn't she give Zhuo Xi a slap in the face? Why should she be so humble? Did she actually feel the same way?
Guilty? Because you also chose Yin Haoze to help you?
What happened to her and Zhuo Xi? The harder they tried to get together, the farther they drifted apart.
Yin Haoze handed her a tissue: "Don't think too much about anything, just go home."
