Chapter 447
In the distance, four bodyguards were considering whether to step forward to stop Qiao Si, but Tang Kai had already walked up to them and waved to them.
The four bodyguards immediately withdrew.
Tang Kai stood by the swimming pool, looking at Qiao Si who was stopping by the swimming pool with his arms crossed.
…
Qiao Si followed Qiao Che with her eyes.
He cut through the waves in the water, pitching and turning freely, his lean and muscular body appearing and disappearing.
She suddenly remembered her childhood...
In her own swimming pool, she would sit by the pool and watch him swim every time. She was actually a landlubber and didn't dare to go into the water at all, but she just liked watching him swim. Thinking about it, the days at that time were really beautiful.
Qiao Si was in a trance, thinking about the past. Qiao Che had swam to the edge of the pool.
The moment Qiao Che stood up, Qiao Si came back to her senses.
He was wearing swimming trunks, and his good figure was undoubtedly revealed. Not only did he have abdominal muscles, he also had mermaid lines. Even if his hair was wet, it was all neatly pulled back, which further highlighted his handsome and deep facial features.
He came to her and took the bathrobe that the hotel waiter brought from behind him.
Qiao Si said coldly, "I don't need your help."
Qiao Che just glanced at Qiao Si and then sat on the leisure chair by the swimming pool. He lay on the chair, closed his eyes and answered, "Is this why you can't wait to come to my place?"
"I don't need your help, no need!!" Qiao Si was a little excited.
Qiao Che remained calm, "You came to Germany, didn't you just want to win this sponsorship?"
Qiao Si looked at him coldly, "I don't need your help even if I want to!!"
Qiao Che opened his eyes and smiled, "You have always tried to treat me as a stranger, but now you look like you are unwilling to accept any kindness from me. Is this the attitude of a stranger towards another stranger? If you really only treat me as me
You are a stranger with whom we have no close friendship. Now that I have helped you, shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
Not expecting to encounter his retaliation, Qiao Si responded even colder, "I didn't ask you to help me, so I won't be grateful to you, but I never accept help from others for no reason, so please take it back.
"
Qiao Che sat up and looked at Joss funny, "Tell me, how should I take it back? Should I ask the men who taught Rodley to teach Rodley a lesson again, or should I go and explain to Rodley in person that I don't have anything to do with you?"
Does it matter at all?"
"I can sign another contract with Rodley and terminate the cooperation."
Qiao Che smiled even more enthusiastically, "Can terminating the cooperation stop Rodley's mouth that you are my woman?"
Qiao Si glared at him coldly, "Why are you doing this?"
"You think too much... I'll help you. Even if Rodley tells you, you can declare to the outside world that Li Chengyao and I are friends. Why should you be afraid of being misunderstood by others?"
"I don't want Chengyao to misunderstand."
"If Li Chengyao doesn't even give you this little trust, how can he still be your boyfriend?"
"Don't deliberately instigate."
"It's because you don't have confidence in your boyfriend, which also shows that you two don't actually have the same level of mutual trust and love between men and women."
"You don't need to worry about how far my relationship with him will progress."
"It seems that I guessed it correctly. Your relationship is not as stable as I thought."
Qiao Si was furious, "What do you want?"
There was a smile on Qiao Che's lips, "What if I just want to see you angry now?"
"you……"
Seeing how angry she was, he stopped laughing and said slowly, "Okay, I'm going to change my clothes. I'm going to fight with a German dignitary later, so you want to come with me."
Change clothes?
Qiao Si turned around and left in anger.
But after taking a few steps, she turned around again and said, "I will not accept help from others in vain. I owe you what I owe you. I will wait for Cheng Yao to come back and let him pay it back to you."
Qiao Che was originally in a good mood, but upon hearing Qiao Si's words, Qiao Che's face suddenly darkened.
The implication behind her words was that he was an outsider, while she and Li Chengyao were our own.
In fact, this is the objective fact now, but Qiao Che just felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Qiao Si turned around to leave, but at this second, her hand was caught by a cold force.
Qiao Si was forced to turn around and saw his cold eyes.
She struggled and asked, "What do you want to do?" She was actually a little scared. He, who had been smiling just now, was now so cold and frightening that even his body was exuding a permeating coldness.
Qiao Che pulled her and spat out coldly, "You keep claiming that Li Chengyao is your boyfriend. Do you really love Li Chengyao?"
Qiao Si struggled to hold his hand, "That's my business and has nothing to do with you."
Qiao Che stared darkly at the subtle expression on her face and smiled coldly, "You can only fall in love with one person in your life. You once swore to me that you only love me, but in just one year, you
Why did you fall in love with someone else so easily?"
He knew that he shouldn't say such things to her. She had the right to be happy now, but he had no business hearing her mention Li Chengyao from her mouth.
His words stimulated the vulnerability buried deep in her heart. She endured the pain of being pulled by him and raised her eyes to meet his deep black eyes, "For you, you will only fall in love with one person in your life.
But for me, people will meet many people in this life. Some people you think you fall in love with are actually just passers-by in your life. Only by constantly searching and comparing will you know that those people are the ones in your life.
The most important thing.”
Qiao Si didn't know that what she said actually hinted at Qiao Che's soft spot for Qu Ranran. Of course, Qiao Si didn't mean to ridicule Qiao Che when she said this.
Qiao Che smiled and pursed his thin lips, "Are you sure that a passerby in your life is worthy of your risking your life to be by his side?"
"I said that you need to search and compare to know who the most important person in your life is. However, people can be stupid and make mistakes sometimes, right?"
She actually regarded their past relationship as stupidity and a mistake!!
Qiao Che's cold face became even colder.
Qiao Si said coldly, "Let me go."
When he said this, he actually pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly with his arms, and said wickedly, "What if I don't let you go?"
The delicious male scent in her memory enveloped her whole body...
She struggled hard, but he hugged her tighter.
Until she realized that her resistance would be punished even more by him, she slowly stopped and said coldly, "If you don't let go, I will definitely sue you."
He laughed, "What are you suing me for? Sexual harassment? Don't forget, you took the initiative to come to me?"
Qiao Si struggled angrily, "What on earth do you want to do?"
At this second, Qiao Che suddenly pushed Qiao Si down on the lounge chair where she was resting.
Qiao Si was startled, and her back hit the back of the chair hard. Although the back of the chair was soft, it still caused pain.
Qiao Che lay on top of her, his dark eyes filled with coldness, looking at her frightened face for a moment, "I'm really that scary to you, huh?"
Qiao Si's eyes widened in horror, and she didn't dare to move.
Qiao Che carefully examined Qiao Si's delicate facial features and said in a cold voice, "You keep asking me what exactly do you want to do? I'll tell you now..."
He paused, obviously a little excited, gritted his teeth and spat out, "I want you, I want you to come back to me, I want us to have a brand new start, do you believe it?"
Qiao Si froze on the recliner.
His face was ferocious because of the suppression of a certain emotion, and he said in a deeper and hoarse voice, "You know you are afraid now?"
Qiao Si seemed to have lost her mind.
Qiao Che gave a long mocking laugh and suddenly stood up from Qiao Si, "You don't have to be afraid, of course I will not destroy your happiness in front of you. I know that you and Li Chengyao are very affectionate."
Qiao Si sat up and looked at him blankly.
Qiao Che turned his back to her, and his back looked inexplicably cold and lonely, "I help you only because you helped me when I was in the most critical moment. Therefore, you can only think of me as repaying you for my help."
Friendship...Of course, if my help is so difficult for you to accept, I will not force it from now on."
Leaving these words behind, Qiao Che walked towards the room without looking back.
Qiao Si sat in silence until Tang Kai came to her.
"Miss Joss."
Qiao Si came back to her senses, stood up quickly, and concealed her inner emotions with a calm expression, "Tang Kai."
"Why aren't you willing to accept help from your boss?"
"I have nothing to do with him."
"Even if you don't want to quarrel with your boss anymore, the boss is your daughter's father after all. Can't you even be friends with him?"
Qiao Si lowered her head and did not reply.
Tang Kai sighed softly, "Actually, the boss has no ill intentions. He taught Rodley a lesson because you were almost bullied by Rodley yesterday. In fact, the boss has always loved you."
Seeing that Qiao Si didn't speak, Tang Kai shook his head and left.
…
In front of the transparent glass wall of the room, Qiao Che watched from a distance as Qiao Si walked away slowly.
Tang Kai stood behind Qiao Che and asked quietly, "Boss, since you care about Miss Qiao Si, why didn't you tell her?"
Joachim turned around coldly and took a step forward, "Did I say I care?"
Tang Kai muttered softly, "You just don't admit it."
Qiao Che glanced over coldly.
Tang Kai didn't dare to speak anymore.
Qiao Che sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, "Don't do these things again next time. This is the last time I forgive you for making your own decisions."
Tang Kai was startled and his voice became stuttering, "Old...Boss, have I made any mistakes again?"
Qiao Che blew out a puff of smoke and said, "My voice is stuttering like this, do you still need me to explain?"
Tang Kai lowered his head and said weakly, "Boss, why can't I hide anything from you?"
Qiao Che said coldly, "I came to Germany, and she happened to come here too. It's not artificial. Is it really fate?"
Tang lowered his hook at the beginning, "I'm sorry, boss."
Qiao Che calmed down and said, "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."
Tang Kai raised his head slightly, like a child admitting his mistake, "I know, boss... I'm dealing with the project here. I heard that you went to Paris, boss, and your subordinates told me that boss, you were in a good mood after seeing Miss Qiao Si. I see
You have not been very happy this year. I heard that Germany will sponsor a red wine brand for this year's Oktoberfest. I immediately thought of asking Miss Qiaosi to come to Germany. I thought that if the boss met Miss Qiaosi in Germany, he would definitely be happy.
His mood would also improve, so I secretly instigated Jiang Zheng to tell Miss Qiao Si about the Oktoberfest."
Qiao Che put out his cigarette and stood up, "She is doing well now and shouldn't be disturbed."
Tang Kai said, "I just don't believe that Miss Qiao will like Mr. Li. Miss Qiao has always cared about Mr. Li..."
Qiao Che interrupted Tang Kai, "Don't mention this again in the future."
"Boss, if Miss Qiao Si really still cares about you, will you go after Miss Qiao Si?"
"I won't answer hypothetical questions." With that said, Qiao Che walked into the bathroom.
Tang Kai looked at Qiao Che's leaving back, shook his head, and sighed, "Boss, in fact, you can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive your heart. You have long realized that you have fallen in love with Miss Qiao Si, but...
Miss Qiao Si has left the place where she has been waiting for you."

－－－－－－－－－－－
Leaning on the hotel bed, Joss could only think about the argument she had with him by the swimming pool.
She never thought that he would say those words...
I want you, I want you to come back to me, I want us to have a new beginning, do you believe it?
She had always dreamed of hearing the words, but she never expected that he would actually say them to her in person when they were completely strangers.
Regardless of whether he said such words to intimidate her, such words successfully brought back many memories buried deep in her heart.
Although the past with him was nothing in his heart, it was still engraved in her heart.
She had loved him so humbly and pitifully, but he had always only regarded her as a relative.
She knew he was good to her, but did he know that what she wanted was more than family?
From the day she chose to leave him in T City, that was the moment she completely excluded him from her life...
She gave up, gave up loving so humbly.
Li Chengyao moved her a lot...
It was Li Chengyao who desperately chased after her after she left T City and comforted her. It was also Li Chengyao who stayed with her without hesitation when she was in pain and crying...
Yes, when she returned to City T, she cried in pain because she still couldn't really give up at that time... She still longed for him in her heart to pick her up after he recovered in City T, even to see her...
…
But no, he didn't care at all about her leaving.
It was his indifference and ruthlessness that ruined her last trace of attachment to him...
She cut her hair just to make a fresh start, and she found that when she chose to start over, the world was indeed much better.
What life needs is to look forward, and she knows that choosing Li Chengyao is a decision she will never regret in her life.
She hopes that she and Li Chengyao can be happy forever...
After calling Li Chengyao and finding that he didn't answer, Qiao Si put down the phone in frustration.
Remembering that she had been busy with work these past few days and had not called Rachel, and remembering that today was the weekend, Qiao Si called her home.
Mom answered the phone and handed it to Rachel, "Mommy..."
Hearing her daughter's sweet call, Qiao Si suddenly felt sad. She remembered an incident some time ago.
She got off work early that day and went home to cook for her daughter. However, she saw her daughter's frustrated face.
She asked her daughter why she was depressed?
The daughter replied that other children in school bullied her, saying she was an illegitimate daughter because of her mother's misbehavior.
At that moment, she didn't know how to answer, not because she was wronged or uncomfortable, but because she made her child have no choice but to bear her wrong choice.
Her child has been rumored to her since she was born, but the child never complained, did not cry that day, and just held her for a long time.
She knows that the child is lonely inside, because the child is already sensible, and she also knows what "father" means, but the child is very sensible, and the child knows that the word "father" is a taboo in this family.
Suppressing the sourness in her heart, Qiao Si smiled lightly and said, "Rachel, Mommy misses you so much? Are you well behaved at home?..."
