Xiang Xiaochuang felt like a basin of ice water was poured from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. A cold air spread from the soles of his feet to his limbs. For a moment, it seemed that even his thoughts had stopped wandering.
"That's enough, Dad!" With tears in her eyes, she yelled at Mr. Tang. Although she didn't say any more, a kind of humiliation enveloped her from head to toe.
For her sake, Boss Tang almost proposed to Du Jiawen. But he... finally rejected the proposal in such a "tactful" way. She would never beg for nothing and kneel down in his suit pants.
Next, ask him for shelter.
Man said that she now has relatives. Even when she had no relatives, she never thought of having to rely on Du Jiawen to live her life. She is a living, independent person. She has her own hands and can completely create what she wants.
Want life.
"Du Jiawen, you..." Xiang Xiaochuang's face turned red, and the color suddenly faded, "I don't need you to bear my burden, from now on..."
"Xiaochuang!" Du Jiawen shouted, "You misunderstood me."
Xiang Xiaochuang raised his small and delicate chin: "I will not use anything to threaten you. I am me and you are you. That's right, you have never made a promise to me. I am only with you.
It's just an exchange of interests. You got what you wanted, and I got what I wanted. For the success of Xiaoling's operation, I sincerely thank you. Now, we..."
"Xiao Chuang!" Du Jiawen stretched out his hand to hold her, but she just pursed her lips and quickly retracted her hand that was resting on the dining table.
"Then, Mr. Du can be invited back." Mr. Tang suddenly stood up, his face darkened, and he issued an order to expel the guests.
Du Jiawen panicked, still looking at Xiang Xiaochuang as if he had never heard it.
The two people stood face to face like this, Xiang Xiaochuang's chin always maintained that posture, but Du Jiawen's eyes became softer and softer.
Don't be tempted by him!
Xiang Xiaochuang cheered in her heart over and over again. She didn't understand that even if he was so "ruthless", she couldn't hate him!
At least, he has been quite honest with her. At least, he has not deceived her. At least...
At least his tenderness was not part of his agreement with her.
"That's enough. I think Xiaochuang... won't regard you as her only lover." Boss Tang sighed, "Yes, marriage must be about well-matched families. The Du family... really needs a woman who can help the Du family, and
She is not my boss Tang’s daughter.”
She had obviously seen this ending before, but why did she still feel so heartbroken when she heard him actually say it?
Xiang Xiaochuang tried his best to put on a smile. Although it was a little broken, it still showed a smile.
"Yes, dad, Xiangtian, Du Jiawen... he is just my boss, and I owe him Xiaoling's life. That's enough now. He has his difficulties, and I also have my life. Don't worry anymore.
Force him."
Du Jiawen was heartbroken. She gave up on him so easily. Was it because she hadn't fallen in love with him yet?
Tang Xiangtian said with a cold face: "Mr. Du, I won't let you drink tea. I don't think you will find it interesting. You are busy, so I might as well invite you."
Du Jiawen thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Xiang Xiaochuang: "Xiaochuang, you are still my assistant. Let's go back to Yixin together on Monday, okay?"
Just when Tang Xiangtian was about to express his objection, Xiang Xiaochuang already nodded: "Okay."
"Why should you agree to him?"
Seeing Du Jiawen's lonely figure disappearing at the gate, Tang Xiangtian couldn't help but complain to Xiang Xiaochuang.
"Because that's my job. I only arranged the work until this Friday before I left. What reason is there for me to be passive and slow down? Xiangtian, he never said anything like marrying me. I am with him.
Mutual benefit for both parties.”
"It would have been better if I had found you earlier..." Tang Xiangtian looked at her abdomen that could not be seen due to her loose clothes in annoyance.
"It's good enough." Xiang Xiaochuang put her hand on his palm, "You don't know how lucky I am, it turns out I still have a family, it turns out I have a father and a younger brother."
Her eyes were slightly moist, but only she knew that it was not just because of being moved. There was also Du Jiawen's lonely back, which actually made her heartbroken.
"Then you will... still live in his house after you go back?" Tang Xiangtian reminded dissatisfiedly, "Xiaoling has recovered, there is no need for you to compromise. Besides, he can't use anything to blackmail you now."
Xiang Xiaochuang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I will rent a house myself."
"I hope you can stay and live with us." Boss Tang spoke.
"However, I am not used to living in New York. It is my hometown and I have lived there for more than 20 years. Besides, even if I have to resign, I can't resign at this time like Yixin. Give me two more
In a few months, maybe I will..." Xiang Xiaochuang said very sincerely, and the pain in his heart did not appear on his face.
"Okay, if you insist on returning to China, I will give you an apartment or villa." Boss Tang said thoughtfully, "Although it is work, don't get too close to him.
"Well, no." Xiang Xiaochuang smiled hastily, "Don't worry, Dad, I know how to do it."
"Xiaochang, if you feel tired, go to bed earlier." Tang Xiangtian reminded her considerately, looking at her distracted look.
"Okay, then I'll go to bed first. Good night, dad." She said softly, with a little admiration in her eyes, but she was a little embarrassed because she saw Mr. Tang's momentary absence.
"Good night, Xiaochuang." Boss Tang came back to his senses and put on a kind smile, "Xiaochuang, since you regard us as your family, then treat this place as your home."
"I will." Xiang Xiaochuang agreed and went upstairs. Sitting in the luxurious bedroom, he still felt like a dream and a fog.
Yes, she already has a home and a family.
However, due to the absence of Du Jiawen beside the large bed, sleep became a tossing and turning. It was not until the latter half of the night that I fell asleep in a daze, accompanied by the faint starlight.
She woke up at dawn, and after habitually rolling her eyes, she realized a fact. Her relationship with Du Jiawen should be over.
Wasn't she what she had been looking forward to?
But when I really achieved my goal, my regrets came up layer by layer, with an inexplicable throbbing.
At the breakfast table, the family of three were lined up a little far apart. Xiang Xiaochuang couldn't help but miss the breakfast time sitting side by side with Du Jiawen, and his mind wandered a little.
"Xiaochuang!"
She was stunned and quickly agreed, meeting Tang Xiangtian's disapproving gaze: "Xiao Chuang, what are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't agree."
