"That waiter is talking nonsense, Ranran, don't believe what he says." Guan's mother said anxiously.
Qu Ranran was playing with toys on the bed with Yu An, but she no longer had the high energy she had in the morning, and her eyes were dull.
Guan's mother said angrily, "I'm going to call Guan Hao right now and tell him to come back right away. This is so outrageous!!"
Qu Ranran remained silent.
…
Guan's mother walked aside, picked up her phone and called Guan Hao.
However, after Guan's mother dialed several times, Guan Hao's cell phone kept reminding that no one answered.
Guan's mother immediately called Guan Hao's capable subordinate Zou Ji.
As soon as the call to Zou Ji was connected, Guan's mother asked, "Zou Ji, where did Guan Hao go so early in the morning? Why was no one answering his cell phone?"
"Uh..." Zou Ji over there spoke hesitantly.
"Say it quickly."
Zou Ji was naturally afraid of Guan Mu, so he could only hesitate and say, "Miss Qiao has just arrived in Y City, and the boss is resting in the hotel with Miss Qiao."
Guan's mother raised her voice, "Rest in the hotel?"
"Yes...yes!"
Guan's mother spit out sharply, "Which hotel are you in?"
Zou Jizhan said tremblingly, "I'm sorry, old lady, the boss just told me not to allow anyone to disturb him and Miss Qiao's rest, so..."
Guan's mother was furious, "Let him answer the phone!!"
Zou Ji replied awkwardly, "Sorry, old lady..."
"Zou Ji, you dare not listen to what I say, right?"
"Old madam, please don't embarrass me..."
"you……"
…
After ending the call, Guan's mother apologized and walked towards Qu Ranran.
Qu Ranran naturally heard the conversation between Guan Mu and Zou Ji. At this moment, she lowered her eyelashes and looked even more lonely.
Guan's mother sat next to Qu Ranran and said comfortingly, "Don't think too much. When Guan Hao comes back, he will explain it to you personally. I guarantee that he and Qiao Si have nothing to do."
Qu Ranran took a deep breath and said calmly to Guan's mother, "Auntie, I have work to go to Lingtian today. I have to trouble you to take care of Yu An today. I'll come back to see Yu An later."
Guan's mother took Qu Ranran's hand and said lovingly, "Don't go to work. Guan Hao is already by your side. Why do you need to endure this hardship..."
Qu Ranran gently broke away from her mother's hand and said, "We'll talk about the future later...Auntie, I'm leaving first." After saying that, she got up from the bed.
Guan's mother stood up after Qu Ranran, still trying to comfort her, "Ranran, don't think so wildly, Guan Hao and Qiao Si have nothing to do with each other..."
Qu Ranran bent down and kissed Yu An's young face, then turned and left.
----------------------------------------------
For the next day, Qu Ranran was talking about design with Ji Lingtian at "Lingtian".
What they were talking about today was purely business. Everything went smoothly. Ji Lingtian was very satisfied with the design he made.
Qu Ranran didn't know whether Ji Lingtian's satisfaction with her design was selfish or not, but after successfully accepting the order, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Ji, thank you for your appreciation. I believe that our 'qcs' design will definitely make your project more outstanding!"
After signing the contract, Qu Ranran shook hands with Ji Lingtian as if facing the customer.
Ji Lingtian stood up from the office chair with a smile on his face, "I don't need such courtesy... I am indeed satisfied with your design, and I will not just make fun of a project worth hundreds of millions."
Qu Ranran smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
"I'll ask my secretary Karen to take you out and ask her to take you back to the hotel."
"No, I can just take a taxi myself."
"Okay then, be careful on the road."
"Um."
Putting away the contract, Qu Ranran turned and left.
…
After walking out of "Lingtian", Qu Ranran tried hard to keep the high energy on his face, but it slowly turned dim.
She was glad that her personal affairs did not affect her official affairs. God knows how messed up her head is now...
From morning to now, if she hadn't forced herself not to think about it, she wouldn't have been able to talk to Ji Lingtian about work.
Yes, her mind is now full of thoughts about her and Guan Hao.
The waiter had made it clear to her in the morning that he was going to pick up his "girlfriend"...
There is no doubt that I am going to pick up Qiao Si.
She didn't understand, they were fine yesterday, so why did the world change when they woke up this morning?
What happened yesterday was like a dream, and today everything has returned to reality. But if there is no dream at all and only reality, then why did he hold his hand yesterday?
…
In deep thought, Qu Ranran took a taxi back to the hotel.
She had no intention of backing down. He and Qiao Si, he and her, she wanted to find out.
She originally went back to Guan's mother's room to see Yu An, but who would have thought that after she knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was actually Qiao Si.
When Qiao Si saw Qu Ranran, she didn't show any surprise. Instead, she calmly hugged her chest and said calmly, "Come to find aunt?"
Seeing Qiao Si, Qu Ranran was stunned for a second.
Qiao Si saw Qu Ranran's reaction in her eyes, raised her arrogant face, and asked, "Are you surprised to see me?
Qu Ranran did not answer Qiao Si, but after seeing that Guan Mu and Yu An were not in the room behind Qiao Si, she chose to turn around and leave.
Qiao Si did not let go and said to her back, "Aunt is talking to Guan Hao next door. Do you have the courage to go over and listen?"
Qu Ranran's pace did not slow down.
"Qu Ranran, you are really shameless. Guan Hao no longer wants you, but you still stick to me. Do you think you have any trouble?"
Can aunt help you restore your relationship with Guan Hao? You are really dreaming!!"
Qu Ranran didn't care what Qiao Si said. She walked to the next room and really wanted to make it clear to Guan Hao.
…
Qu Ranran did not expect that before she could reach the next room, the sound of an argument between mother and son could already be heard from the room.
Yes, the door to the next room was not closed, and the sound was so clear that it reached the ears of Qu Ranran who was standing outside the door.
"In short, you must take responsibility for Ran Ran, I will not allow you to be with Qiao Si!!"
Because of what Guan Mu said, Qu Ranran did not enter the room, but stopped outside the door.
In Qu Ranran's sight, Guan's mother and Guan Hao were talking at the moment. Guan's mother had a straight face, but Guan Hao's expression was as indifferent as ever.
Guan's mother couldn't bear to spit out, "Mom, you know this is not a matter of irresponsibility..."
Guan's mother softened her tone, shook her head and said, "Mom doesn't believe that you really have no feelings for Ran Ran. You used to care about Ran Ran so much..."
"You also know it was before."
"No, Mom doesn't believe it. In the past few years, Mom has advised you to give up on her countless times, but you have never forgotten her. Now that the grudge between Mom and her is gone, you tell me that you no longer love her. You let me
How can mom be convinced?"
"I care about her, very much. She was once the person I regarded as a treasure in my life... Along the way, I have thanked God countless times for allowing me to have her, but she let me down... For her,
After all, I chose to forget the fact that she was the daughter of Ye Liuzi and Qu Yaoting. I went against your wishes at the time and came together with her at all costs. I thought she and I could start over, and I have been working hard to do this.
However, when she and I finally had a bright future, she chose to give up... She has advised me more than once to give up the grudges of the previous generation. I did it, but what about her?
When she faced this tangled problem, she chose without hesitation to abandon the future that she and I had worked so hard to have. How could she not make me feel heartbroken?"
"Son, you can't blame Ran Ran. She has such a good relationship with her father. It's understandable that she couldn't accept it. Didn't you choose to give up on her for this reason? This means that you had expected that she would know
You should understand that there will be such a reaction after this fact."
Guan Hao's voice became hoarse, "I understand, of course I understand, so even if she has no child, I am just angry with myself, angry with myself for not being able to retain her... In the past six months, I have wanted to fight countless times.
I called her, but I still couldn't make the call. Do you know why? Because I was afraid that she would tell me that the matter between her and me was over... So, I could only choose to wait for her.
In the past six months, I have hoped that she would call me every moment and say that she needed me. I even used Joss to stimulate her. I just wanted to hear her tell me that she still cares about our relationship.
She still cares about me emotionally, but in the past six months, what I have seen is that she lives such a leisurely and carefree life, as if she does not need me in her life at all... I am very disappointed, and I am obviously angry with her,
But I couldn't control myself and went to look for her. I forced her to come to me again and again. I just wanted her to tell me that she still wanted to be with me. However, there was nothing. All she gave me was that
The so-called blessing, she can actually watch me get together with other women..."
Having said this, Guan Hao smiled as if he was in pain, "I was angry and took Qiao Si on vacation. After I came back, she finally came to me... She told me that she learned everything about the previous generation from you.
She came to apologize to me. At that moment, I knew very well that her coming to me meant that her feelings for me still existed. However, it was not until that moment that I discovered that I was already tired. It turned out that in the past six months, my feelings for her have been
Attachment is like a burning flame. It was strong at first and extinguished in the end. I was not as attached to her as I imagined... But when I saw her sad leaving figure, I saw her fall.
I couldn't bear the tears, so I tried to give her and I a chance, I tried to keep her, and tried to maintain the relationship between me and her, but in the end I realized that I couldn't do it anymore, and I used self-deception to keep her.
It’s not fair to her to get along with her, and it’s not fair to Qiao Si either..."
When Guan's mother heard this, her eyes were filled with water. She choked and said, "Then last night...you really didn't have feelings for Ran Ran?"
Guan Hao sighed heavily, "Mom, you instigated Renjun to get me drunk last night, and you also asked him to put medicine in the wine, so I don't even remember what happened the night before... When I woke up
When I came here, I saw her sleeping in my arms, and I realized that you were up to your old tricks again!!"
What Guan Hao calls "repeating the same tricks" means that Guan's mother once used the same method to design him and Qiao Si...
"Mom just hopes that you and Ran Ran can have a chance to be together, so she forces you..."
"Mom, since I was a child, I have rarely disobeyed you on your requests. Therefore, when you told me yesterday that you wanted me to be responsible for Ran Ran, I had no objection, because as far as the night before, no matter what reasons I had
, I should give her an explanation... I really thought I could do it, and really thought that she and I might try to get together again. However, yesterday afternoon I called Qiao Si and I said
I wanted to break up with her, but when I heard her voice and heard her tell me that she missed me, I realized at that moment that unknowingly, she had entered my heart so deeply that I just wanted to leave her.
She brought her to me and kept walking with her..."
…
Silent tears rolled down Qu Ranran's cheeks and fell to the ground one by one...
Qiao Si, who came behind her a few minutes ago, was also moved to tears by what Guan Hao said at this moment...
When Guan's mother turned to leave, she saw them at the door and was stunned.
Guan Hao also looked towards them, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes, but the next second, his tall and straight body was hugged by Qiao Si...
Josie threw herself into his arms and wiped all her tears and snot on his expensive shirt.
Qu Ranran's vision was blurred by tears, and he could only vaguely see his appearance, but at this moment, he could only see the person in his arms...
Guan's mother came over with deep regret and gently supported her shaky body, "Ranran, I'm sorry..."
Qu Ranran still just looked at Guan Hao, her tears still falling like broken pearls.
Guan's mother couldn't help blaming herself, "It's all my fault..."
Qu Ranran kept looking at Guan Hao, and it wasn't until a long time later that she reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes and face. She took a deep breath, and said to Guan Hao in a slightly hoarse voice, "Aunt, it doesn't matter.
About you... Yu An is sleeping in the next room, you go and take a look, he will cry if he wakes up and doesn't see anyone."
"Ran Ran..."
"Go for it!"
Guan's mother walked out of the room in extreme self-blame.
After Guan's mother left, Qu Ranran reached out to wipe the soreness from her nose again. She walked towards Guan Hao, looked at him, and said calmly, "Can I talk to you alone?"
Guan Hao nodded lightly.
Having fallen in love, Qiao Si became extremely generous in an instant. She slowly withdrew from Guan Hao's arms and left the room.
Finally, only Qu Ranran and Guan Hao were left in the room...
When she faced him face to face, her tears fell uncontrollably, but she still wiped them away tenaciously, forcing herself to smile, "Guan Hao, no matter what, I still want to thank you for these two things."
Even though you have tried so hard to me..."
The pain spread in Qu Ranran's heart, but she covered it up with a brighter smile, "Actually, you and I both know that we can't force things to happen. If I knew that you held hands with me yesterday because your aunt put pressure on you,
, I will definitely not agree..."
Guan Hao heavily supported Qu Ranran's trembling shoulders and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Ranran..."
Qu Ranran shook his head vigorously, "Don't be like this, don't feel guilty about me, and don't pity me... You don't owe me anything."
At this moment, Guan Hao pressed Qu Ranran into his arms.
The warmth in his arms made her tears fall out more unbridled, but she did not allow herself to fall in love, she stretched out her hands and pushed him away...
However, he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.
Qu Ranran didn't hear clearly what she said to him. She used a lot of strength to break away from his comforting embrace...
After distancing herself from him, Qu Ranran still had a smile on her tear-stained face, "Guan Hao, actually from the day I knew I couldn't have children, I never thought about being with you again in the future.
It's not because I don't care about you, it's just because I can't face myself like this... I don't live a free and happy life without you. In fact, I miss you every day, and I'm waiting for you to call me every day -
Tell me, I'm afraid you don't care about me anymore... After we met several times, I saw you and Qiao Si together. I felt very sad and jealous, but I could only try my best to pretend that I didn't care..."
"The last time I was in City T, I went to find you. I really just wanted to tell you about the misunderstanding between us. I didn't dare to hope that we could start over. But then you came to me and told me that you
If you want to be with me, you will never know how happy I was at that moment. At that moment, I just wanted to do nothing, no matter what, as long as I was by your side. However, there was no way I could deceive you about my physical condition.
, later you called me and told me the truth. Although I was very disappointed, I was very happy that you made such a choice, because this kind of relationship is not what I want..."
"When I came to Y City this time, I didn't know that Qianqian was sick, and I never thought that I would meet you, and I never thought that your mother would set us up. In fact, nothing happened at all that night. It was me who still had a little selfishness.
I want to see how you will react when you see me next to you at dawn..."
Guan Hao tried to approach Qu Ranran, "Ranran..."
Qu Ranran's body was already slowly retreating, "I'll leave you to take care of Yu An. I will visit him when I have time... Then, goodbye."
