Ren Ying came up and tried to pull Qiu Bailu's arm in a familiar manner. Qiu Bailu took a few steps back, her rejection was very obvious. Looking at her free hand, Ren Ying sneered.
What are you doing? Do you still think of yourself as a charming eldest lady? Who doesn't know that you are just a phoenix in trouble? As the saying goes, a phoenix in trouble is not as good as a chicken. She wants to see how valuable Qiu Bailu is now.
Go down.
Ren Ying took her hand back and cast her charming eyes on Qiu Bailu a few times, "Oh, I forgot, this place will no longer be Qiu's building in a few days. If Miss Qiu comes again, I'm afraid she will also
Just like the courier boy, I register at the door to receive my elevator card. If I were Miss Qiu, I would definitely visit Qiu's more often if I had the chance now, otherwise I would have no chance in the future."
"It's a pity that you are not me." Qiu Bailu said indifferently to Ren Ying. She will never forget what happened on the wedding day. No matter what the affair between Huo Dongheng and Ren Ying was, they are now to her,
They are just strangers.
The backside of love is not hatred, but indifference. Hatring someone is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming thing. Qiu Bailu is mentally exhausted and really has no ability to hate him anymore. Besides, after loving someone for so many years, it is impossible to hate him even if he wants to.
Not an easy thing.
Qiu Bailu didn't want to pay attention to Ren Ying. Seeing her indifferent expression, Ren Ying thought she was just showing off. She was still arrogant and looked down on herself. She curled her lips and there was malice in her heart, "Yes, how could I be like you?"
Well, a woman who can't even protect her own child, I really don't know how Dong Heng could fall in love with you."
Her words hit Qiu Bailu's heart like a sledgehammer, and Qiu Bailu swayed. Qin Zhen had protected her so well these days, and the wound that was about to heal was finally torn open again with blood.
Lowering her head, Qiu Bailu thought that she was no match for Ren Ying. She wanted to escape, but Ren Ying felt that she had not yet finished her fun. She folded her hands and said to Qiu Bailu's back, "You didn't like to do good deeds the most before? Why did you break up?
I spend so much money and end up like this. It’s so pitiful that I won’t even be able to have children in the future.”
Qiu Bailu had already run to the elevator. When she heard Ren Ying's words, she turned back and said, "You...what did you say?"
"Eh? You don't know? Or are you pretending not to know?" Ren Ying saw Qiu Bai's expression which was really scary, and she felt uncertain. She looked at him and wanted to delay some time. At this moment, Huo Dongheng came out of the office.
Walked out.
Qiu Bailu suddenly rushed in front of him, "She said...she said that I can't have children in the future?! She is lying to me, right?"
His heart suddenly sank to the bottom. This secret should be sealed forever. Huo Dongheng glared at Ren Ying. He reluctantly smiled at Qiu Bailu, "Xiao Lu, don't be too excited. Things are not like what she said...
"
For a person like Huo Dongheng, yes is, no means no. He would never give an ambiguous answer, but now, his answer was so secretive that Qiu Bailu already understood it in her heart.
Turning around suddenly, Qiu Bailu ignored no matter what Huo Dongheng called her from behind. She rushed into the elevator and pressed her fingers randomly on the number buttons. She no longer didn't care which floor she would end up on, as long as she didn't stay here.
can.
*Very few people come to see the sea in winter, because the sea in winter is too gloomy, and when the waves hit you, it always feels like it is swallowing up everything.
It had just snowed, the sea breeze was strong, and there was a layer of white frost on the beach. People would shiver from the cold if they stood on it for a long time.
When Qin Zhen found Qiu Bailu, it had been nearly two hours since she called him. During these two hours, he had almost swept the entire coastline of Binhai City in his car. Until now... Qiu Bailu was squatting in the desert.
Alone on the beach, she hugged her body tightly with her hands, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her flower-like skin was blown by the cold wind like pale crystal, which could break at the touch of a touch.
The redness under her eyelids was the trace of dried tears. She heard Qin Zhen's footsteps and did not look back.
"You know that, right?" Qiu Bailu looked at the gray sea level in the distance. This used to be her favorite place because Huo Dongheng liked it, but now it has become the place where she bury her heart. She has always
As she recalled the things she had done over and over again, she could not figure out why those people had to do that to her. They only picked the places she cared about and never stopped until there was blood.
"You...Xiaolu...I..." Qin Zhen suddenly didn't know how to answer. In just a moment, he understood what Qiu Bailu was asking. He felt burned inside and wanted to tell her the bad news.
The people pulled him out and quartered his body on five horses.
"Why didn't you tell me? I'd rather you tell me than hear it from someone else's mouth. Why didn't you tell me? Didn't this happen if you didn't tell me? Qin Zhen, why didn't you tell me..." She
He murmured questions, and every time he asked, he felt like a part of his body was quietly dying.
The sea breeze was so cold that it cut across their cheeks like a knife. Even Qin Zhen, who had been on missions at 40 to 50 degrees below zero all year round, felt the wind was biting to the bone.
After being chilled by the wind, Qin Zhen felt his mind calm down. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I don't tell you, not because I want to lie to you. But because you are so young and the doctor has diagnosed you.
When I was pregnant, I just said that you would be less likely to get pregnant in the future, but it didn't say that it was completely impossible. Xiaolu, medical science is so advanced now, maybe your body will be cured in a few years. At that time, this minor ailment will not be a problem at all.
What kind of."
"Then what if it doesn't get better?"
"If it doesn't work out, I'll marry you. I hate children the most. They are noisy and annoying all day long! It's not quiet anymore. When I quit, we will go on a trip without worries. How wonderful!" Qin Zhen
Indifferently, it's not that he really doesn't like children, but compared with Qiu Bailu, these are nothing at all.
After saying this, Qin Zhen wanted to pull her up. It was too cold here, and Qiu Bailu's health was so bad that she would not be able to withstand this.
Qiu Bailu was pulled by him to half stand up, but as soon as Qin Zhen let go, she fell down again. She said to him with a bitter face, "I have been squatting for too long, and my legs are numb."
"Idiot." Qin Zhen cursed lightly, squatted down, and began to slowly rub Qiu Bailu's calf.
Qiu Bailu looked at him, her eyes slowly blurring, "Xiao Guozi, you don't have to be so nice to me. I..." I'm afraid I can't repay your kindness.
"I wish to do it. Just treat it as a good deed every day. Just enjoy it secretly. Don't take it too seriously. Don't really marry me unless you marry me." Qin Zhen replied casually, reaching out to scratch the cold autumn white dew.
A red nose.
People living in the Qijia alley thought they were husband and wife. Qin Zhen never corrected this mistake with others because he didn't want to. Even if it was an illusion, he hoped that the illusion could last longer.
.
He knew that Qiu Bailu didn't love him. She liked him, but it was just like a playmate or a big brother. All her admiration and love were given to one person, although that person was in Qin Zhen.
It seems that he is just a bastard, but reality proves that he is indeed.
But so what? He is not a person who gives up easily. He has plenty of time. As long as Qiu Bailu is with him, he is not afraid that she will not change her mind.
Because Qiu Bailu was almost turned into a stone statue on the beach that day, Qin Zhen warmed her up for a long time, and then the two of them staggered out of the beach like a pair of drunkards.
When they passed by a small takeout and barbecue stall on the beach, the stall owner was playing an old song on an old CD player, and Qiu Bailu memorized the lyrics of the phrases in it.
Love cannot last long, cannot be obtained, and cannot be possessed too easily.
Love that hurts cannot be looked back on.
Slowly and gradually I feel nothing.
Slowly and slowly I was ignored.
How can you bear to see me haggard?
There is no comfort at all.
Slowly my heart becomes iron.
Slowly and slowly I was rejected.
Slowly and slowly, all the power in the world cannot defeat time, love cannot, and hate cannot. No matter how tragic the wound Huo Dongheng left on her body or heart, as long as time is given, as long as she does not die, everything will be over.
good.
Qin Zhen is right, she shouldn't worry about the future. Even if she is broken and broken, she may never find someone she can fall in love with wholeheartedly, but at least, there is someone who truly cares about her.
However, Huo Dongheng may have everything, but there is one thing that he will never have again.
He will never have her love again. Never.
After returning, Qin Zhen did not allow Qiu Bailu to go out casually anymore. Occasionally, Huo Dongheng sent his secretary to ask her about the company's inheritance rights, but Qin Zhen sent her back rudely.
Qiu Bailu used her free time to read a lot of books about the design profession. She was still so young and had a long way to go in the future. Her dream of opening a design company has not been extinguished. But her first priority was that she needed to participate in a design competition held by the TV station.
In the division competition, Qiu Bailu was hidden by Huo Dongheng for too long. She didn't know how far she could go in the competition with her level, but she needed such an opportunity to verify her strength.
Qin Zhen originally didn't like her to do this. If possible, he would prefer her to become a traditional model woman who would be a husband and raise children. It was best not to leave the house for the rest of her life. If she did go out, he would accompany her to avoid those with evil intentions.
Hurt her.
But Qin Zhen also knew that he couldn't do this, so after mumbling for a while, he let Qiu Bailu go. When he went out, he didn't forget to hand over the entry form for Qiu Bailu.
Encouraged by the competition, Qiu Bailu became more and more immersed in simplicity. Until one day when she was giving a painting class to the children, one of the children took out the newspaper of the day and read about celebrity gossip. Qiu Bailu glanced at it.
, only to discover that an entire page of the newspaper had an advertisement for a charity auction.
The protagonist of the auction was actually the black pearl that originally belonged to her mother that Huo Dongheng wanted to give her but did not give her.
