Du Jiawen was holding two bags in one hand and holding Xiang Xiaochuang in one hand, holding it a little tight.
Xiang Xiaochuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I can leave by myself."
"I'm afraid you'll run away." Du Jiawen joked, half-heartedly, but refused to let go. Until the taxi stopped at the door of the building, Xiang Xiaochuang still looked a little confused.
"Xiangtian helped me rent a house..." Xiang Xiaochuang lowered his head and refused to move his feet as if they had taken root on the ground.
"Xiaochang, I don't worry about you living alone."
Xiang Xiaochuang seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I think... living with you makes people even more uneasy."
Du Jiawen immediately asked, "Who can't worry? Xiao Chuang, if we don't have the American delegation, our way of getting along will change, right? Tang Xiangtian, huh, I must be worried about some good intentions."
Xiang Xiaochuang smiled lightly: "This..."
Du Jiawen knew that he was overreacting, so he held her hand again: "Okay, if you must move, then I will help you."
When did he become so talkative?
Having achieved his goal, Xiang Xiaochuang was not happy at all. One hand was held by him, and the other hand used his fingers to hook the ends of his hair. It was obviously his request, but Du Jiawen let go easily.
, but made Xiang Xiaochuang feel disappointed for a while.
Du Jiawen secretly glanced at her facial expression with the end of his eyes, and saw that her smile became more and more forced. He suddenly felt relieved, and all the worries he had had along the way were completely answered at this moment.
She still misses him.
He cursed Tang Xiangtian bitterly in his heart. If it weren't for his "stoking discord", maybe Xiang Xiaochuang and him would still be the same as before. Where did these troubles come from?
Xiang Xiaochuang got into the room, and Du Jiawen quickly followed: "Are you tired? It will be more comfortable to take a hot bath before going to bed."
"No, I'll pack my clothes." Xiang Xiaochuang replied calmly.
"Xiaochuang...don't forget to pack mine in too."
"Huh?" Xiang Xiaochuang raised his head suspiciously.
"Wherever you move, I will move there too."
Xiang Xiaochuang stared at him, almost angry at him. But the loss in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Xiaochang, let's have a good talk, okay?" He said softly, reaching out his hand as if he wanted to hug her, but after seeing her obviously defensive look, he took it back.
"Okay." Seeing Xiang Xiaochuang sitting on the bed, he hesitated and walked to the living room, "Let's go and talk on the sofa."
Du Jiawen followed him out with a wry smile. Although her heart was still leaning toward him, her behavior was as cold as if the close relationship between them had ended.
What kind of relationship can withstand such alienation? What's more, the relationship between him and her can't even be called love. Maybe it can be called attachment, which can barely be called it.
Xiang Xiaochuang didn't dare to look at him, but just sat on a single sofa, making it clear that he wanted to distance himself from him.
Du Jiawen sighed: "Xiaochuang, I don't know what Boss Tang and Xiangtian said to you, but it's just that you followed me because you were wronged. I understand that you have more now.
Xiaoling has been discharged from the hospital again and is recovering very well. I don’t have many chips left for you. At the moment, I can’t just talk in vain and give you a fixed period of time to marry you.
.I will not make a promise easily without 100% certainty. I can only say that if I want to marry, then Mrs. Du must be you!"
Xiang Xiaochuang looked at him blankly, and his firm and powerful words seemed to inject a little confidence into her.
Mrs. Du? This title is so unfamiliar that she doesn't necessarily want it. She just can't bear it. One day he will put herself in a dilemma by marrying another beautiful woman. How will she be embarrassed by that time?
She didn't want to be his shameful lover, she wanted to stand side by side with him openly, raising her head proudly in the sun.
His words were not an oath of eternal love. But they were so gentle yet firm, yet like the waves crashing on the shore, they penetrated her heart.
In an instant, it seemed as if the world became clear. His promise was not short-term, but a promise for the future.
She suddenly felt hesitant. She should have stayed according to her inner wish. If she had been more rational, she should not have agreed.
Was he suddenly willing to talk about marriage because of her relationship with him, or because of her changed status, or because of the child in her belly? She quietly raised her eyes, but met Du Jiawen's focused gaze, as if
Wrapped in blazing flames, she was about to melt under his eyes.
She shook her head in confusion, and she did not dare to give more until she could not discern his feelings for her.
"Thank you for saying that." She reluctantly returned her beating heart to its usual even speed, "At least let us not be like before, giving me the feeling that I can't raise my head in front of or behind anyone.
Come on. Maybe you won’t understand this kind of pressure, but to me, it’s like thorns, like maggots attached to the bones, which I can’t get rid of.”
Is it such a humiliation to be his lover?
Du Jiawen felt as if he had been hit. For a long time, he was unable to speak.
If the promise he made could not move Xiang Xiaochuang's heart, he could no longer offer more. However, if he wanted to let her go, he couldn't do it!
"If I could marry you, I would rather marry you than anyone else." He sighed dejectedly, suddenly becoming anxious. He didn't know how deep the friendship between his father and Mrs. Chen was, why he fell in love with Chen Sijia at first sight and would rather
Let him delay the wedding and refuse to change people.
He has also reached the age of 30. Logically speaking, his parents should be eager to entertain his grandson. However, regarding his negative attitude, his parents would rather let him go.
"Anyway, Xiangtian has already rented a house for me. I'd better move there. You...actually don't have to be so embarrassed. I don't have to marry you. As for the child, I can raise it alone, so you don't have to worry.
"
Does this mean he doesn't have to worry? Du Jiawen's heart felt weak. After all he had said, could he still not win back Xiang Xiaochuang's heart? Tang Xiangtian rented a house for her in advance, and it was clear that he was attracted to him and refused to let go.
"Do you have to move?"
"Yes." Xiang Xiaochuang answered quickly without even hesitating.
"How about you live here and I move out? The security here is pretty good. I wouldn't worry if I moved to another place."
"No, this is your apartment!" Xiang Xiaochuang insisted, "Xiangtian will not let me live in a place with poor security."
As she said that, she took out the note that Tang Xiangtian had given him before parting, but was suddenly stunned. This address... was only two floors away from Du Jiawen, and was still in the same building. No wonder he was still in the same building.
