Seeing the male master return, all the servants and bodyguards in the villa breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Hao did not go to the second floor immediately, but sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The servants did not dare to disturb him. After they left, they left their space and time to Guan Hao.
Guan Hao pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he shouted to the servant who stepped aside, "Bring Yu An here."
"yes."
After a while, the servant's distressed voice came, "Mr. Guan, Miss Qu..."
Hearing the sound, Guan Hao looked over.
At this moment, Qu Ranran walked down from the second floor with Yu An in her arms. She stared at Guan Hao as if on guard.
"Stay back!"
Guan Hao said to the servant.
The servant left immediately.
Qu Ranran and Guan Hao were the only ones left in the huge hall.
Qu Ranran hugged the sleeping Yu An very tightly, as if she was afraid of getting close to him. She stopped at the stairs and said coldly, "Do you want to threaten me with Yu An again?"
"What do you think?" Guan Hao answered lightly.
Qu Ranran frowned in displeasure, "Guan Hao, can you stop using such despicable means to make people surrender? Children are not victims between us. No matter what happens to us adults, it should not affect the children.
Why can’t we give our children a peaceful and comfortable life?”
Guan Hao's voice was still emotionless, "Can you live a peaceful and comfortable life without me?"
"Yes, Yu An and I can live a better life without you."
Qu Ranran's words made Guan Hao fall silent.
Qu Ranran continued, "Guan Hao, why do you want to make all of us unhappy? Are you really going to feel better if you are forced to be with me?"
Guan Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Ranran, his tone remained calm, "Do you really want to leave?"
Qu Ranran nodded vigorously, "Yes."
Guan Hao also nodded, as if after thinking for a while, he said after a few seconds, "Okay, you just need to answer me one question. If I am satisfied, I will let you go."
"you say."
"Do you still have me in your heart?"
Never thought that he would ask such a straightforward question, Qu Ranran was slightly startled.
"Say." Guan Hao didn't give her time to think and asked her to answer directly.
If it were Qu Ranran in the past, she might have hesitated on this issue, but at this moment, all that passed through Qu Ranran's mind were his hypocritical actions and cruel methods, so it was natural for her to spit out
, "No, you should know that I stayed in New York because Qiao Si deceived me. I was not doing it for you at all. Even if I was moved for a moment when you confessed your love to me, as Qiao Si became pregnant, the cause of her father's death was revealed.
Expose, what little infatuation I have left for you has been completely destroyed by you."
After hearing what Qu Ranran said, Guan Hao stood up at this moment and walked towards Qu Ranran.
Qu Ranran had always been afraid of Guan Hao. Now that she saw him walking towards him without any emotion, she panicked in her heart as she couldn't figure out his thoughts. She stepped back and said, "What do you want to do?"
Guan Hao kept forcing Qu Ranran until she leaned against the handrail of the stairs behind her.
The two of them were very close at the moment. He was standing in front of her. His handsome face showed no emotion at all. He glanced sideways at her slightly pale face and whispered, "Ran Ran, if it wasn't for Qiao Si's matter,
, and it has nothing to do with your father. At this moment, will you choose to be with me?"
"Won't."
Qu Ranran spit it out directly.
Guan Hao stared intently at Qu Ranran's beautiful face, and his voice became even lower, "Why?"
"Because when I loved you so much, what you gave me was teasing, contempt, and unbearable. Guan Hao, have you ever thought that from the day we met, you never gave me the slightest sense of security?
You always play with my feelings wantonly, making me feel hurt again and again when I am full of longing to be with you. You have never taken feelings seriously, or you have never thought about being serious with me. However, this
I can't blame you. After all, I have always cared about you more than you cared about me, so you were able to use and hurt me again and again. However, you have never thought that if the heart is broken, it can be repaired, but the cracks are not.
It will always be there. Even if you don't want to be with me today because you want to win Ji Lingtian, I will never be able to love you as purely as before... This is why you say that I have changed.
, I have changed, in fact, I just no longer love you."
Since she wants to make it clear, she should tell him everything that is in her heart!
She said these heartfelt words in one breath, but after she finished speaking, her heart still felt as good as she imagined, as if someone had grabbed her and it hurt a little.
Suddenly, Guan Hao sighed deeply and let go of Qu Ranran.
Suddenly losing his restraint, Qu Ranran's tense body slowly relaxed.
Guan Hao looked at Qu Ranran and said slowly, "Ranran, have I ever told you that actually, having you has always been a very luxurious idea for me."
Qu Ranran's eyes froze.
"We have been married for two years. Every time I feel that I have been attracted to you, I will remind myself that I must leave you. Therefore, I have left T city to avoid you and separate in the name of business trips again and again.
For four years, I haven't looked for you because I know that even if I find you, I can't give you anything." At this point, Guan Hao smiled sadly, "But nothing in this world can be done.
Following people's will, I stayed away from you, but you appeared in my world again and again. I was using you to attract my big brother, but who knew that I was also using that short time to satisfy myself?
The longing for you... Every night when I am with you, when I see you sleeping soundly in my arms, I always think, if only this time could be longer."
The tone of his voice at this moment was a touch of sadness that she had never heard before. She thought that a person like him would never feel such sadness in his life.
"Ran Ran, do you know that from the beginning to the end, I know very well that no matter how hard you and I try, no matter how hard you and I can fall in love, we can't have a happy ending... but I want to go
I violated you and tried to keep you by my side forever, but it turns out that all the endings in this world have already been doomed, and even I can't change it."
Qu Ranran shook his head, not knowing why.
Why does he say that there can never be a happy ending between them from beginning to end?
When two people are together, if they both care about each other, what difficulties can they not overcome?
The only reason why we can't be together is because we don't love each other. He is simply making excuses for what he did in the past.
"You may not be able to understand what I am telling you now, but you will naturally understand it later. I just want to remind you, Ran Ran, that in addition to the darkness I gave you, there are more darkness in this world.
You can’t see that many things and many people are never as simple as you think, and I was not born with such darkness..."
Why didn't she understand anything he said today, but there was an inexplicable sadness in it.
"Ran Ran, in this life, our encounter with each other is just an interlude. You have your own way to go, and I have my own way to go. I really hope that in the days to come, you can find someone who can truly give you everything."
You happy man.”
What does he mean?
Does the implication mean that he wants to let her go?
Qu Ranran was puzzled, but the inexplicable sadness accumulated more and more in her chest, making it impossible for her to breathe.
"When do you want to leave?" Guan Hao asked quickly after adjusting his mood and returning to his usual cold and indifferent tone.
That sad feeling was like a whirlpool that rolled her deeper and deeper, but when she suddenly heard his temperatureless voice, she suddenly seemed to be released and returned to reality.
Qu Ranran looked at Guan Hao calmly and replied, "Right now."
Guan Hao asked again, "Have you ever thought about where you want to go?"
Qu Ranran answered truthfully, "Go back to Alton."
Guan Hao suddenly said, "Go back to City T!"
Qu Ranran hesitated on the spot.
Guan Hao added, "Alton is a foreign country after all. City T is where you grew up."
Qu Ranran fell silent.
Why doesn't she want to go back to City T?
However, she has nothing in City T...
In Alton, at least there was her sister's house there, and the comfort of that small town was the living environment she longed for.
However, no matter how good Alton is, the place she really wants to stay is still City Y.
The feeling of being alone with a child in a foreign country is a desolate picture to imagine.
Guan Hao saw the true desire in Qu Ranran's heart and said directly, "I will send someone to take you back to City T."
Qu Ranran shook his head almost immediately, "I won't go back to City T, I have no money, and I don't want to go back."
Guan Hao promised to spit out, "I will arrange your life."
"I don't want it!" Qu Ranran said tenaciously, "I don't need your help, nor your sympathy. I promised when I signed the agreement with you that I will use my ability to bring Yu'an up."
Guan Hao frowned, "Why are you so insistent on this issue?"
Qu Ranran mocked in a polite tone, "That's because you can never understand how important dignity is in a person's heart."
Guan Hao didn't argue with Qu Ranran, and immediately said, "If you don't want to owe me a debt, then just take it as a debt! You use my money to go back to T City to arrange the life you want now, and when you have money
Yes, you can pay me back."
He changed his words and it really moved her.
In City T, whether it is finding a job or living, it is better than in a foreign country. Of course she hopes to return to City T.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Qu Ranran finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to City T, and I'll pay you back the money slowly."
The next second, Guan Hao took out the check and pen from his suit bag, wrote down the number, tore off one sheet and handed it to Qu Ranran.
Qu Ranran couldn't take it because he was holding Yu An, but he still saw the string of numbers on it.
"I don't need so much..." If she read it correctly, it was ten million, which was nothing compared to his worth, but it was not a debt she could afford to repay.
"I will lend you one million, and the other nine million will be the alimony I will give to Yu An."
"Yu An doesn't need your support."
"You don't need me to raise Yu An, but I can't just sit back and ignore my son."
No matter what, he can give it if he wants to. Anyway, the money is nothing to him. She can just pay it back to him in the future.
Yu An was already awake at this moment and was looking around in Qu Ranran's arms.
The driver arranged by Guan Hao was already outside the gate of the villa, and there was a group of whispering servants in the garden.
Qu Ranran couldn't hear what the servants were discussing, but she could vaguely guess that they were probably talking about the fact that she left without a chance and without words, which forced them to lose their jobs.
“￥￥#%%……”
Yu An was babbling and talking.
Qu Ranran turned around and took a look.
Yes, she is looking for Guan Hao.
She was not waiting for him to say goodbye, but wanted him to take one last look at Yu An.
From now on, when he is in New York and she is in City T, there is no chance of meeting each other, but it is hard to say...
The city is so big, even if she takes Yu An through "Haotian" in the future, she may not be able to meet him when he comes to City T.
Maybe, it is not impossible that we will never see each other again for the rest of our lives.
Not seeing Guan Hao, Qu Ranran asked the servant, "Where is Mr. Guan?"
The servant shook his head, "I didn't see it just now."
Qu Ranran originally wanted to ask the servant to find Guan Hao, but then she thought about it. If he really couldn't let go of Yu An, he would definitely not leave the villa at this time. Why should she let him come to see Yu An?
She was too pretentious about leaving.
"Forget it, help me get my luggage and let's go!"
"good."
…
Outside the gate of the villa, a black car was already parked there.
Perhaps it was because Qu Ranran was thinking about things in a disorderly manner, so when walking towards the car, Qu Ranran did not realize that it was the Bentley that Guan Hao usually used for transportation, and sat in with Yu An in his arms.
It wasn't until he got into the back seat of the car and looked at Guan Hao sitting in the driver's seat that Qu Ranran came back to his senses and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see this was your car. I thought it was your car."
The driver who came to pick me up at the airport...I'll get off right away." Qu Ranran said and was about to get off the car.
Unexpectedly, when Qu Ranran opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, Guan Hao's deep voice came, "You are not mistaken, I will take you to the airport."
"Uh...I'm going to xx airport." Of course she didn't want to take his private plane, she didn't want to owe him a favor.
"Um."
Guan Hao responded almost silently, and then started the engine.
Qu Ranran did not refuse, closed the car door, and sat in the back seat with Yu An in her arms.
The car drove away from the villa...
Qu Ranran hugged Yu An and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Yu An seems to be interested in everything in this world, his shrewd eyes are moving around, and his long eyelashes are covered one after another. He is so cute.
Qu Ranran had no intention of introducing everything about this world to Yu An at this moment, and she was lost in thought again.
I don’t know how long it took before the car arrived at the airport.
Qu Ranran seemed a little surprised to arrive at the airport so quickly, so she hugged Yu An and walked out of the car.
Guan Hao dragged his luggage, and Qu Ranran hugged Yu An and walked towards the airport hall together.
The ticket she bought happened to be a ticket that another passenger withdrew due to delays, so the flight to city T was about to take off soon and was already at the security check.
At the security checkpoint, Qu Ranran turned to Guan Hao and said, "Please help me check in my luggage. It's inconvenient for me to carry Yu An."
"good."
Guan Hao dragged his luggage and walked towards the check-in office.
Qu Ranran held Yu An quietly and waited there, watching him negotiate with the shipping personnel. She then lowered her head and said to Yu An in her arms, "Baby, I'm going to say goodbye to daddy later. Remember
I want your daddy to tell you, you know?"
Yu An seemed to understand and replied with a series of unintelligible baby sounds.
When Qu Ranran raised her head and looked at Guan Hao, Guan Hao had already finished checking in and was walking towards her.
Qu Ranran did not avoid looking away, but smiled lightly at him and said, "Thank you."
Guan Hao came to Qu Ranran and asked, "When you get to City T, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."
"No need...I'm very familiar with City T. I can stay in a hotel the first night and I'll look for a house the next day."
"Maybe you can get a taxi as soon as you leave the airport, but who will help you carry your luggage at the airport?"
"I……"
"Be obedient, this is not a favor, it's just that I consider Yu'an's safety."
Since he said so, she had nothing to say.
The two were silent for a moment. At this time, the airport hall began to sound the reminder that Qu Ranran's flight was about to take off.
Qu Ranran said, "I'm going in..."
"Let me hug Yu An."
"good."
Qu Ranran nodded slightly and carefully carried Yu An over.
After spending so many days with Guan Hao, Yu An is already very familiar with Guan Hao. In Guan Hao's arms, he smiles more comfortably than in Qu Ranran's arms.
"Little guy, you have to listen to mommy in city T, you know?" Guan Hao kissed Yu An and told him in a father's tone.
Yu An stared at his father with round eyes, as if he was listening to his father very seriously.
Qu Ranran walked up to the father and son and pulled up Yu An's clothes.
Guan Hao already knew how to coax Yu An, and now every word he said made Yu An giggle.
Qu Ranran had been looking at Yu An in Guan Hao's arms, but at some point, her eyes fell on his face.
Looking at Guan Hao's handsome face full of fatherly love, Qu Ranran couldn't help but be fascinated.
I don’t know if it’s true that father and son are connected. He and Yu An are getting more and more harmonious. Every time he teases Yu An, Yu An will give him the honor to smile with him. Even she is jealous of the bright smile...
…
"Little guy, come here, give daddy a kiss."
Guan Hao hugged Yu An upright and said with compassion.
How could Yu An kiss? He was already looking elsewhere in Guan Hao's arms.
Qu Ranran smiled and said, "My son has gone to look elsewhere."
Guan Hao then lightly spanked Yu An on the buttocks, "You bastard, you don't give daddy any face."
Yu An pursed his lips at this time and looked at his father with an innocent look.
Qu Ranran smiled even wider because of the child's expression.
At this time, Guan Hao and Qu Ranran seemed to be in a state of selflessness, immersed in the warmth of this family of three.
However, the second sound of a warning to board the plane at the airport brought them back to reality in an instant...
Qu Ranran glanced at the airport time and said, "It's about to take off. If I don't check in, it will be too late."
"Yeah." Guan Hao responded.
Qu Ranran immediately picked up Yu An from Guan Hao's arms.
As soon as Yu An returned to Qu Ranran's arms, he was not very happy and was about to cry.
Qu Ranran quickly talked to Yu An and coaxed him.
Yu An is easy to coax, even if the target is transferred...
After Yu An calmed down, Qu Ranran took the ID and boarding pass from Guan Hao's hand and said calmly, "Then I'm leaving..."
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
When Qu Ranran was about to turn around and enter the security checkpoint, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around again, and said to Guan Hao, "I'm sorry, I have to tell you... If we meet in the future, we should not say hello again, we all have
We have to live our own lives, and I don’t want to affect our future lives.”
Guan Hao's Adam's apple moved, "Okay."
Qu Ranran then carried Yu An into the security checkpoint.
Guan Hao turned around and left the airport.
Qu Ranran still turned around and looked at where Guan Hao was just now.
However, he was no longer where he was, and all she could see was his tall back as he left.
At this moment, Qu Ranran could only feel sadness slowly flooding into her chest. She took a deep breath, widened her eyes, and did not allow herself to hesitate any longer, and walked straight to the departure hall.
…
The car was speeding on the way out of the airport.
Guan Hao tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and the lingering image of that beautiful figure filled his mind.
Suddenly, he parked the car at the edge of the sea, took off his sunglasses, and got out of the car.
Leaning on the car, he stared at the vast, deep blue sea in the distance.
Looking at this sea, he couldn't help but think of Mo Island...
The best memories of his life were there.
Blue sky, clear water, sunny beach, it seemed like he and she were the only two people in the whole world.
He liked the way she was helpless when he teased her, and he also liked the days and nights spent with her on the island, unrestrained and without having to think about any problems.
At that time, he could grasp her so easily, but now, she was like quicksand. The harder he held on, the faster she passed...
At night, at seven o'clock, in a small suite not in the city center, Qu Ranran hugged Yu An and played on the bed in the room.
"Yu An, look, this is a little duck. It has white feathers, a yellow beak, and red paws..." Qu Ranran held the card and taught the children to identify small animals.
Yu An was only three months old, but he was extremely smart. When Qu Ranran was teaching, he listened obediently and waited until Qu Ranran finished speaking before he picked up the cards and played with them.
Qu Ranran played with Yu An until almost nine o'clock, when Yu An fell asleep...
After putting Yu An into the crib to sleep, Qu Ranran also lay down tiredly on the bed.
She doesn't know what's going on lately, but she always feels very tired. She didn't feel it when taking care of her children was harder than it is now.
Qu Ranran closed her eyes and was feeling sleepy, when her cell phone rang.
With eyes closed, Qu Ranran took the phone over and glanced at the number displayed on the screen. She smiled and pressed the answer button, "Siya."
"Ran Ran, are you still awake?"
"Well, not yet."
"I haven't called you for a long time, how are you?"
"I'm doing everything as usual, how about you? Happy pregnant woman, are you okay?"
"Stop teasing me. I'm so bloated now. I've gained a lot of pounds..."
"There's no one who doesn't get fat during pregnancy. It's okay, as long as Mr. Li doesn't dislike it."
"He didn't say anything, but I was afraid that if I continued like this, I wouldn't even be able to wear a wedding dress..."
Wedding dress?
Qu Ranran opened her eyes suddenly, "Siya, are you getting married?"
Qi Siya said sweetly, "Well, well... Ranran, Renjun proposed to me, and the wedding is scheduled for next month!"
Qu Ranran said excitedly, "Congratulations, Siya, I'm so happy for you!!"
"Ran Ran, will you come to my wedding next month?"
"I……"
Qi Siya took over, "I know it's inconvenient for you to take care of your children in Alton. Even if you can't come, it doesn't matter. I just want to share my joy with you..."
Qi Siya has not contacted Qu Ranran for a long time since she has been under Li Renjun's control.
Today, after finally finding an excuse to inform her friend about the marriage, Li Renjun allowed her to use her mobile phone, and the first call Qi Siya made using her mobile phone was to Qu Ranran.
"Siya, I'm really not sure whether I can attend your wedding, but it's not because I'm in Alton, but because I'm taking care of Yu'an by myself now."
"You're not in Alton?" Qisiya was surprised, "Aren't you and your sister in Alton?"
Qu Ranran shook his head, "I am in City T, and I have returned to City T to settle down."
After hearing this, Qi Siya happily vomited, "Are you in China?"
"Um."
"When did you come back? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"A week ago!"
"You... came back alone?"
Knowing what question Qi Siya wanted to ask, Qu Ranran simply answered directly, "Guan Hao and I no longer have the relationship you think. I brought Yu An back alone."
"But……"
"It's nothing, Siya. Don't talk about him and me anymore. It's in the past... Let's talk about your wedding. Where do you plan to hold the wedding?" Qu Ranran quickly changed the subject.
"Ran Ran..." Qi Siya was still struggling with the relationship between Qu Ranran and Guan Hao.
"Siya, don't worry about me, Guan Hao and I have nothing, we just can't be husband and wife." Qu Ranran answered lightly.
"It's all my fault that I haven't contacted you..."
"Fool, I'm fine now, what will happen if you contact me?"
Qi Siya's tone was sad, "Ranran, actually I have been regretting that I disclosed your pregnancy to Mr. Guan without asking you. If it weren't for me, maybe you would have been living a peaceful and comfortable life now."
Qu Ranran sighed softly, "Even if I can hide him for a while, I can't hide him for a lifetime. He and I will have to face the child's problems sooner or later. Besides, you are doing it for my own good, so you don't need to blame yourself.
"
"Ran Ran, I live with Renjun in City G now. He doesn't allow me to leave City G because I'm pregnant. Therefore, I can't go back to City T to see you now. You promise me to take good care of yourself, okay?
?”
Qu Ranran chuckled, "How old am I? Are you still worried that I am as ignorant of the world as before?"
"I'm just worried about you..."
"Okay, you don't need to worry about my affairs. All you need to do now is to take good care of your body, be a beautiful bride, and then give birth to a fair and chubby child for Mr. Li."
"I will. You must take care of yourself. I will go to City T to see you whenever I have a chance."
"Let's talk about it after you give birth..."
"Um."
…
After finishing the conversation with Qi Siya, Qu Ranran's sleepiness had completely disappeared.
Thinking that Qi Siya would soon marry Li Renjun, Qu Ranran couldn't help but silently bless her in her heart.
Siya and Renjun should have only been dating for more than a year, right? I didn't expect that they would be able to achieve enlightenment so quickly.
Other people's relationships always seemed good, but why did her relationship have to go through so many hardships and still end up in vain in the end.
Qu Ranran picked up the phone and flipped through it boredly. Her eyes finally fell on the record of the last call she had with him.
I'm afraid I won't use this number again...
Thinking of this, Qu Ranran reached out and pressed the delete button on the touch screen, but as soon as Qu Ranran clicked on it, she saw Yu An sleeping unsteadily in the crib and twisting his body.
Qu Ranran then put down her cell phone, got out of bed, walked to the crib, and changed Yu An's diaper with familiarity.
Sure enough, after changing into a dry diaper, Yu An's little body immediately stopped twisting and fell asleep again.
Qu Ranran couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed Yu An, the little guy who loved to be clean, and then returned to the bedside.
She sat down and picked up her phone, only to realize that her phone was dialing a number just now, and this string of numbers was exactly what she wanted to delete just now...
Oh my God, she didn't press delete just now and accidentally dialed it out, right?
It's not impossible. I just saw Yu An twisting in the crib. After she pressed the delete button, she didn't pay attention to whether her finger was on the delete button. Maybe she pressed it wrongly...
…
One minute ago, Manhattan, New York.
In the solemn conference room, daily routine meetings are taking place.
Guan Hao was sitting at one end of the oval table, listening to his subordinates reporting to him the progress of various projects.
Chen Lin was sitting next to Guan Hao. She felt her phone vibrating, so she took out her boss's phone. When she saw the number displayed on it, Chen Lin took a breath and hesitated whether to hand the phone to her boss now.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Chen Lin stood up, leaned into Guan Hao's ear, and whispered, "President, your cell phone rang. It was Miss Qu."
Hearing the words "Miss Qu", Guan Hao took the phone over, glanced at the number on the phone screen, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"President, do you want to interrupt the meeting?"
Guan Hao didn't respond and stood up immediately.
Chen Lin understood and used gestures to ask the senior executives to temporarily interrupt the meeting.
Guan Hao walked to the back of the conference room and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was about to answer the call, but unexpectedly, his phone stopped ringing at this moment.
Guan Hao subconsciously wanted to go back to the past, but when he was about to press his finger, his reason reminded him at this moment.
Suddenly, he put his phone back into his bag and looked forward.
Under his feet is the busy traffic of New York. Those countless car boxes form a series of lines, giving New York a fast-paced life.
When Chen Lin came over, she saw Guan Hao deep in thought. She stood three meters away from Guan Hao and asked respectfully, "President, will the meeting continue?"
Guan Hao didn't look back, "That's it for today."
"yes."
…
Qu Ranran was in a daze on the bed holding her cell phone.
The outgoing call can no longer be retrieved. How would he feel when he saw the call from her just now?
She was so careless. He didn't answer the call now. He was probably having a routine meeting every morning. What should she do if he called later?
Qu Ranran sighed and put the phone on the bedside table.
Zou Ji stood in the CEO's office and reported to Guan Hao seriously, "Boss, the bait you asked me to lay has a reaction."
Guan Hao looked at the document at hand and responded calmly, "Say."
"You asked me to release the news a week ago, and it has already caused an uproar in the business community. With Mr. Robinson's help, the matter has developed intensified."
Yes, a week ago, Zou Ji followed Guan Hao's order and released false news that France was going to add three docks to the Riviera area to build the world's largest Gold Coast Wangcheng project. Because several geologists recently
According to the survey, the Riviera area has been in subsidence in recent years. If three more docks are added, it may cause a greater degree of subsidence due to the soil structure and stratigraphic movement. At present, the French government has
Considering whether to postpone or cancel this project.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately spread wildly in the business community...
Everyone knows that this project was won by the "Lingtian" Group. According to the previous process of doing projects for the government, the "Lingtian" Group will receive assistance from the government after winning the project.
Thirty percent of the funds, but "Lingtian"'s initial investment in the project far exceeds 30%. Therefore, "Lingtian" will make up for the shortfall first, and the government will not make it until the project is settled.
All settled with the group.
In other words, the project has already started, and "Lingtian" has already advanced a large amount of money to invest in the project. If the French government aa delays the project or cancels the project at this time, the funds invested in the early stage by "Lingtian" will become dead money.
At this time, the French government, which is also suffering losses, will not be so effective in compensating the losses of the "Lingtian" group. As a result, "Lingtian" will suffer heavy losses.
Nowadays, everyone's focus is on the speech of International Business Chairman Robinson, but Robinson did not speak on this matter according to Guan Hao's instructions. This caused the rumor to become more and more true, so that now everyone is saying,
If "Haotian" does not come up with huge funds to cover the huge amount of money "Lingtian" borrowed from banks in order to win the Gold Coast project, "Lingtian" will be paralyzed...
Hearing what Zou Ji said, Guan Hao suddenly looked up from the document, leaned back in his chair leisurely, and raised the corners of his mouth, "If you tell Robinson to continue to remain silent, I don't believe 'm' will not take action."
Zou Ji nodded, "Yes, I will inform Robinson now." With that said, Zou Ji turned around.
Guan Hao said quickly, "Call Chen Lin in."
"yes."
Not long after Zou Ji left, Chen Lin walked in holding a stack of documents.
After placing the documents Guan Hao had to deal with today on the desktop, Chen Lin stood in front of the desk and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what else you want to ask me, CEO?"
Chen Lin has been Guan Hao's secretary for many years. Although she is very capable at work, she inevitably makes mistakes. Therefore, she is trembling every time Guan Hao comes to see her.
"In the future, take my mobile phone and set it to restrict incoming calls."
Hearing that Guan Hao just wanted her to do such a simple thing, Chen Lin immediately raised her lowered head and said in a relieved tone, "I don't know, CEO, do you want me to set all incoming call restrictions or just individual ones?"
Guan Hao immersed himself in the documents in front of him again and spit out, "Qu Ranran."
"Miss Qu?"
Chen Lin was shocked and her mouth opened wide.
She knew that there was a big problem between the CEO and Miss Qu, and recently she heard that Miss Qu had gone to City T alone...
She originally thought that the CEO and Miss Qu were just a couple quarreling. Like before, the CEO might go to City T to pick up Miss Qu after a while. She did not expect that the CEO did not intend to contact Miss Qu this time, and even restricted her from contacting her.
Miss Qu’s cell phone called.
In such a situation, wouldn't it mean that the two of them would die and not have any contact with each other?
"Go do it!"
Chen Lin stood there hesitantly and asked weakly, "President, are you sure you want me to do this?"
Guan Hao raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Lin, "Do I need to repeat what I said?"
Chen Lin quickly shook her head, "I'll do it right away."
…
Chen Lin hurriedly walked out of the CEO's office, but met Qiao Si who came to see Guan Hao at the elevator door.
Seeing Chen Lin's abnormal expression, Qiao Si couldn't help but pull Chen Lin and asked, "Secretary Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that it was Qiao Si, Chen Lin replied with a little respect, "Nothing, the president ordered me to do something."
"Oh, it's about Qu Ranran, right?"
Somehow Joss guessed it right.
Chen Lin opened her mouth in surprise, "You know?"
Qiao Si smiled softly, "To tell you the truth, Guan Hao has been sleeping at my place these days... If there wasn't some problem between him and Qu Ranran, how could he think of me? And you handle official affairs for Guan Hao.
It has always been handy, so you will only be worried about Guan Hao's personal affairs."
When Guan Hao and Qiao Si were together, Chen Lin also came into contact with Qiao Si. However, Chen Lin always felt that Qiao Si was just an episode in Guan Hao's life, so she never regarded Qiao Si as the future boss lady.
But when she heard Qiao Si's words, Chen Lin felt impressed by Qiao Si for the first time.
Chen Lin thought in her heart that no one could figure out the boss's thoughts...
Before, she had always thought that the winner between Miss Qu and Miss Qiao would only be Miss Qu, but from the current situation, it seems that Miss Qiao may not lose.
Then, Miss Qiao can't afford to offend her...
Thinking of this, Chen Lin couldn't offend anyone. She pretended not to understand Qiao Si's temptation and tried, "Yes, the president asked me to take his mobile phone to set the incoming call restriction. He doesn't want Miss Qu to call him again."
Hearing Chen Lin say this, Qiao Si's face showed a hint of joy, "Really?"
Chen Lin nodded, "Yes."
Qiao Si said, "It seems that Zou Ji's statement that Qu Ranran has left New York is true."
Chen Lin did not continue to talk loudly, but held back her hand and said, "Uh, Miss Qiao, I still have to deal with the matters that the president asked me to do, so I'll go down first." Even if she changed her attitude towards Miss Qiao, she still felt that
Miss Qiao could not compete with Miss Qu's importance in the president's heart no matter what, because the president had personally admitted to her that Miss Qu was his woman, but Qiao Si had never heard the president mention it.
"OK."
Chen Lin immediately walked into the elevator.
…
Qiao Si stood at the door and knocked on the CEO's office door, which was not closed.
Guan Hao didn't even raise his head, "Come in."
Qiao Si walked in, stopped in front of the desk, and called softly, "Guan Hao."
Hearing Qiao Si's gentle female voice, Guan Hao looked up at Qiao Si and asked lightly, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Si walked up to Guan Hao and said, "I called you but you didn't answer, so I had to come to 'Haotian' to find you." Although there was no discomfort in her tone, her words contained a bit of grievance.
.
Guan Hao took the document away and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Si said slowly, "I want you to accompany me for a prenatal check-up."
Guan Hao said calmly, "I don't have time."
Qiao Si bitterly spat out, "I also know you are very busy, but my brother went back to France to be with my mother, and I don't have any relatives in New York..."
"An ordinary prenatal check-up, what do you have to worry about?" Guan Hao's tone was still cold.
Qiao Si took a sore breath and choked up, "You don't know, last time the doctor told me that the child's development in the belly was relatively slow and the fetal heart rate was unstable, so I thought about going to the hospital for a checkup this time...
…I was really scared that something bad would come of it."
At this second, Guan Hao pressed the intercom phone on the desktop and said, "Secretary Chen, cancel my work schedule for the afternoon. I want to leave for a while."
Chen Lin responded, "Yes."
Guan Hao picked up his suit jacket and stood up. "Let's go!"
Qiao Si hugged Guan Hao and her tears turned into laughter.
Early in the morning, while Yu An was still sleeping, Qu Ranran was doing hygiene in the hall and listening to the news.
It turned out that I just wanted to listen to the news to kill the boring time of doing hygiene. Who would have thought that, by coincidence, just after the news was broadcast, a piece of news that made Qu Ranran sensitive came out.
"A reporter from the New York Times reported yesterday that Guan Hao, the president of Haotian Group, accompanied his fiancée Qiao Si to the hospital for a prenatal check-up..."
When she heard the news, Qu Ranran instinctively raised her eyes and looked at the TV.
What is playing on the TV at the moment is the scene of Guan Hao accompanying Qiao Si to the gynecological hospital for a prenatal check-up...
The New York Times is one of the best-selling and most rigorous newspapers in New York. It would have been impossible for the New York Times to publish such news without taking conclusive footage.
Qu Ranran's eyes were fixed on the TV for a few seconds, and her eyes slowly turned from the initial surprise to dim, and finally became dull.
There was a big problem with the Wangcheng project. She thought he would be very busy recently. After all, he had to discuss a solution with Ji Lingtian...
But he still found time to accompany Qiao Si for a prenatal check-up.
She was once moved by him accompanying her for a prenatal check-up, but now that she thinks about it, he is not special to her.
He went to Alton to see her in his spare time. Compared with him taking time out to accompany Joss in his busy schedule, this was enough to prove the importance he attached to Joss.
Their relationship should be getting better and better...
Reaching out for the remote control to turn off the TV, Qu Ranran continued to mop the floor, but his thoughts were already far away.
Qu Ranran's consciousness was awakened by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
She put down the mop and walked towards the door.
"Ranran!"
Opening the door, a joyful call immediately reached Qu Ranran's ears.
Qu Ranran looked at Qin Zixin in front of her in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Sister."
Qin Zixin reached out and hugged Qu Ranran, "I miss you so much!"
"Me too……"
Qu Ranran reached out and hugged Qin Zixin, her nose suddenly became sore, "Why are you here suddenly?"
"City Y is not far from City T, and Qianqian was recently taken to his residence by Ji Lingtian, so I came to see you."
"Sister, I'm so glad you came. Come in and sit down."
Qu Ranran pulled Qin Zixin into the suite.
Qin Zixin took a look at this suite, which although not high-end, had a simple and elegant decoration, and asked, "Is this the house you rent?"
Qu Ranran pulled Qin Zixin and sat down on the sofa in the living room, "Well, the environment here is very good and it's not far from the city. Plus I like the decoration."
Qin Zixin praised, "It is indeed a very elegant decoration. With two bedrooms and one living room, it is very spacious. I like it too."
"I was also afraid that you and Qian Qian would come to stay, so I rented an extra room."
"Haha, you still have a conscience... Where is Yu An?"
"He was uproaring most of the night yesterday, so he's still sleeping now."
"Noisy?" Qin Zixin wondered, "Yu An has always been very good and doesn't make any noise at night."
"I don't know either. He often cries at night these days when I come to T City."
"Could he be unable to adapt to the new environment?"
"Maybe!"
"What about you?"
"Huh?" Qu Ranran raised his eyes, "What's wrong with me?"
"Have you adapted to the new environment now?"
Qu Ranran smiled faintly, "I'm not a child. As long as I'm not cold and hungry, there's nothing I can't adapt to."
Qin Zixin took Qu Ranran's hand and said, "Don't act stupid for me, you know what I want to ask."
Qu Ranran looked at Qin Zixin seriously and said, "Sister, I never thought about being with him, so I can't say I'm disappointed, let alone uncomfortable."
"I called you and told me that you were in City T. I knew there was a problem between you and Guan Hao... Ranran, tell me what happened that made you leave no room for anything with Guan Hao.
separate?"
Sourness spread in Qu Ranran's chest. She took a deep breath and then told Qin Zixin the truth about her father's death.
After hearing this, Qin Zixin was shocked, "Is this why you insist not to be with Guan Hao?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Zixin was not shocked by his father's death. Qu Ranran frowned, "Isn't this matter serious enough?"
Qin Zixin explained, "I don't think this matter is not serious, but I think this matter should be explained clearly."
"So what if you make it clear?" Qu Ranran's voice was sad, "He can never change the fact that he forced his father to commit suicide."
Qin Zixin comforted him, "Ranran, although I didn't grow up next to my father, I still love him. I was equally shocked when I heard you say that Guan Hao was recorded to have killed his father. But if you think about it carefully, you suddenly received
Isn’t this kind of email sent by someone with intentions to sow feelings between you and Guan Hao?”
"I don't care if someone is provoking it. What I care about is the fact that Guan Hao killed his father." Qu Ranran spat out unbearably, "How could he treat a human life with such contempt? Such a cold-blooded person, I
How can I allow myself to follow him?"
Qin Zixin sighed sadly, "I was ill at the time. I don't know much about the deal between Guan Hao and his father, so I can't make a judgment for you."
"Sister, I'm really tired when I'm with him. I can never guess what he's thinking, and I can't tell whether his feelings are true or false. I really can't bear all the conspiracies... "
"But have you ever thought that if the charges you convict him of are actually misunderstandings, wouldn't you feel regretful?"
Qu Ranran shook his head solemnly, "I will not regret it. Today, I am even glad that I made such a decision."
"Why?" Qin Zixin frowned in confusion.
"Because I didn't know until today that he has never had true feelings for me..."
"If there is no true love, why should he waste his time on you?"
"That's because he and Mr. Ji have been competing with each other, so I became their trophy!!"
"This is also your guess. You should ask him clearly."
"Yes, I can ask him many, many questions in person, but what if I ask him clearly? Even if he explains his father's death to me, can I not care about the fact that he let other women carry his children in this life? ?" Qu Ranran's eyes were already stained red, and her voice was hoarse due to choking.
"To tell you the truth, you didn't listen to Guan Hao's explanation, not because you didn't believe what he said, but because you were afraid that once he explained it clearly to you, you would have no reason to leave him. You didn't want him to know that you In fact, what bothers me the most is the fact that he is related to Qiao Si."
When Qin Zixin said the central thing, Qu Ranran shook his head sadly, "No, it's not like that. It's because I no longer love him and I don't want to be with him at all."
Qin Zixin gently held Qu Ranran's shaking face and said softly, "Ranran, in fact, Guan Hao doesn't necessarily have any sincerity towards you... You just told me that it was Guan Hao who went there when you received the email. When France rescued Qiao Si, Li Renjun called you to tell you that Guan Hao was in danger. Later, Guan Hao came back safely. I believe this must be Li Renjun’s call to provoke you. Guan Hao is bound to have trouble with this matter. You also know that when Guan Hao was in danger, you chose to be indifferent. But when Guan Hao came back, he asked you nothing, and he didn't complain, let alone be disappointed with you. He still doted on you, this Doesn’t it show that he cares about you?”
Qin Zixin's words reminded Qu Ranran of her last conversation with Guan Hao.
He said a lot of incomprehensible things to her, but every word he said caused ripples in her dead heart.
She could actually feel his tolerance and care for her...
However, her heart was already afraid and she would never allow herself to sink anymore, because there were too many problems before them in reality...
Qin Zixin advised, "Ranran, if you still love her, why not trust him again and leave all those problems to him to solve."
"Resolve?" Qu Ranran said with a sarcastic smile, "He has never thought about resolving Qiao Si's matter. One second he can express his care to me, and the next second he can be intimate with other women. ...I'm really glad that I didn't make the wrong decision this time, otherwise how could I have been embarrassed when I saw the news today that he took Qiao Si for a prenatal check-up?" He hid everything from her, which made her even take Qiao Si with him again. She didn’t even know about returning to New York…
Qin Zixin hugged Qu Ranran's trembling shoulders, "Okay, Ranran, stop talking. It makes me uncomfortable to see you like this..."
She originally planned to return to City Y on the fourth day, but who would have thought that on the morning of the fourth day, Qin Zixin discovered that something was wrong with Qu Ranran.
Because Qu Ranran vomited again while having breakfast...'
This is already the third time on her fourth day here.
As a woman and someone who has been there, she cannot be insensitive.
So, when Qu Ranran was covering her mouth and retching again into the trash can, Qin Zixin handed Qu Ranran warm water to rinse her mouth and said coldly, "I think you need to go to the hospital for a check-up."
Just a moment."
What Qin Zixin said made Qu Ranran shudder. He choked on a mouthful of water, and Qu Ranran coughed several times.
Qin Zixin hurriedly patted Qu Ranran on the back and said, "You should be more careful."
After the cough gradually subsided, Qu Ranran began to seriously think about the issues Qin Zixin had just mentioned to her.
Qin Zixin looked at Qu Ranran's instantly pale face and said softly, "Don't you feel anything about your own body?"
After giving birth, she had a menstrual period...
Later, he forced her to have sex with him several times one after another. In my memory, there were several times when she did not use contraceptive measures, but as long as she was in the dangerous period, she took the contraceptive pills...
Seeing Qu Ranran's puzzled expression, Qin Zixin kindly reminded, "Miss, I must tell you that even condoms are only 99% effective in preventing pregnancy."
"No, it's impossible." Qu Ranran shook his head and insisted.
Qin Zixin gently supported Qu Ranran's trembling body due to fear, "I think your physique makes it easier to conceive than the average person."
"But I just gave birth..."
"Just having a baby doesn't mean you won't be pregnant. As long as you have your period, pregnancy is normal."
Qu Ranran's face turned paler.
Qin Zixin took off the water glass that Qu Ranran had squeezed tightly, "Let's go to the hall and think of a solution."
Qu Ranran was already at a loss, and was supported by Qin Zixin to the living room.
The two sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Qin Zixin asked, "Have you ever had any cases before? If there were no cases, you would have to queue up to go to the hospital."
Qu Ranran shook his head blankly.
Qin Zixin immediately walked to Qu Ranran's room, took out the bag that Qu Ranran usually kept with his documents and other things, and said seriously, "When Yu An wakes up, we will go to the hospital."
Qu Ranran seemed to have just come to her senses and refused, "I won't go."
Qin Zixin sat next to Qu Ranran and said softly, "You are such a fool... Whether you think about it or not, things have happened. What else can you do now except face it? Escape will not solve the problem.
Yes, besides, it’s possible that we guessed wrong. It’s not impossible to go to the hospital to make sure and then think of a solution.”
What Qin Zixin said is indeed reasonable...
Things have happened, and all Qu Ranran can do is face it.
Seeing Qu Ranran gradually calm down, Qin Zixin couldn't help but comfort her, "It's okay, I have sister by your side..."
…
An hour later.
Qin Zixin accompanied Qu Ranran to the hospital.
Because the air in the examination room was not good, Qin Zixin had to hold Yu An and stand outside the door of the examination room, softly comforting Qu Ranran, "Don't be afraid, maybe things are not what you imagined..."
Now that he had arrived at the hospital, it was impossible not to undergo an examination, so after hesitating for a few seconds, Qu Ranran walked into the examination room with heavy steps.
After the doctor asked her about the time of her last menstrual period and the time of her first intercourse after giving birth, the doctor determined that the timing of her pregnancy might be what she thought was a safe period.
Because the month is too young, it is not possible to do a B-ultrasound now. The doctor suggested that if she is anxious to confirm the pregnancy, she should do a blood test first. If she is not in a hurry, she can wait for more than a month, and then she can see the baby with a B-ultrasound.
of development.
Qu Ranran's final decision was to take a blood test.
The blood test results came out quickly. After the doctor looked at her, she confirmed that she was pregnant at about five weeks.
When Qu Ranran came out with the report, Qin Zixin didn't need to ask Qu Ranran about the result. Qin Zixin had already seen it from Qu Ranran's body reaction, because the color on Qu Ranran's face had completely faded at this moment.
People are also on the verge of collapse because they cannot bear such stimulation.
Fortunately, Qin Zixin was able to hold on to Qu Ranran with one hand in time when she was holding Yu An, so that she would not faint in the hospital.
"Sit down for a while!"
Qin Zixin asked Qu Ranran to sit down on a chair in the corridor.
Qu Ranran sat blankly on the chair, holding the inspection report in her hand very tightly.
Qin Zixin hugged Yu An, sat down next to Qu Ranran, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Qu Ranran replied blankly, "I just made an appointment with the doctor for the operation. He said that the operation can be performed in an hour."
Qin Zixin was shocked, "Why did you decide so quickly?"
Qu Ranran stared blankly ahead, "There is no way I can keep this child."
"Ran Ran, I hope you can think carefully about the child... Although you already have Yu An and don't plan to have anything to do with Guan Hao again, the child is a little angel given to us by God. If we miss this one,
It doesn’t mean there will be another one.”
The reason why Qin Zixin is particularly concerned about children is because when she suffered from heart disease, the doctor once said that she could not get pregnant. The reason was that even if she became pregnant, her children might inherit her disease. Therefore, she
When she was with Ji Lingtian, she had two children, but later she wanted to get pregnant again, but it became very difficult. It was not until she was very difficult that she had Qin Ziqian... This is why she wanted to give birth to Qin Ziqian.
The reason for Zi Qian.
Qu Ranran held her forehead tiredly and vomited in a low voice, "I have no clue now. I just want to solve this problem as soon as possible."
"Ran Ran, listen to me and go back and think about it for a few days before making a decision."
"I don't want to have long nights and lots of dreams."
"Are you afraid that Guan Hao will know?"
"I know you will tell anyone." Qu Ranran spit out trustingly.
"Of course I won't tell Guan Hao, but I won't allow you to make a hasty decision to take away the child now."
"sister……"
"Stop talking. If you insist on getting rid of the child today, I will return to Y City later and will never help you take care of Yu An."
