She basically calls me at this time every day, because I told her before that I am usually free at this time, and Xiaoman is back from school.
It’s not appropriate for me to accept it, nor is it appropriate for me not to accept it.
After hesitating for a moment, I stood up and said to them, "Sorry, I'm going to take a call."
"It's okay, you answer the phone first." An's mother said to me.
I then walked out of the box with my cell phone, calmed down and answered the call.
"Hey, are you busy today again?"
"It's okay, how about you? Have you eaten?"
"I just ate before I knew how to work in the office. Where is Xiaoman? Why didn't I hear her voice today?"
I was stunned for a moment before replying: "I'm still eating out."
"Oh, socializing?"
I was stunned again and replied: "Well, that's right."
"Did you drink?"
"I didn't drink, just chatting about something."
"Do you have a sister?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, but don't worry, I don't look down on any sister. I only have eyes for you."
"Humph, we are so far apart, how do I know about you?"
Even though I couldn't see An Lan's expression, I could feel that she was jealous.
I laughed and said: "Really, if you really can't do it, there's nothing I can do about it, as long as you come back and look at me now."
"Okay, I'm just kidding you. I know you only have me in your heart, because I only have you in my heart. I miss you every day."
"me too."
"I really want to hug you."
"Come on, I've got arms."
An Lan smiled happily on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. You go to socialize first. Don't drink. Your stomach is fine."
"I know, I definitely won't drink. I'll call you when I get back later."
After An Lan responded, we ended the call.
I didn't go back to the box immediately. To be honest, I was still very nervous.
When I think about going in and telling the truth later, I feel tremendous psychological pressure.
I lit a cigarette to relieve my anxiety.
But until I was about to finish smoking a cigarette, I couldn't make up my mind.
At this time, An Siqi came out.
She seemed to have come specifically to see me, because I had been out for a while.
After seeing me, An Siqi asked me: "What's wrong? Do you feel embarrassed?"
"It's okay to be embarrassed, mainly because..."
An Siqi took the words, nodded and said: "I know, actually I don't know they arranged this dinner, otherwise I would have told you. I'm sorry!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Looking at your expression just now, I knew you definitely didn't know either."
An Siqi shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't help it, I'm going to make things difficult for you."
After I put out the cigarette butt, I was silent for a while, and then said to her: "Siqi, do you think the topic we just talked about was a bit too in-depth. I feel that the next topic will be about our marriage."
An Siqi sighed softly, lowered her head and said nothing.
I said to her again: "I don't think this will work. You can't keep lying to them like this, right?"
"You mean, do you really want to tell them?"
"That's what I think, because some things really need to be stopped in moderation... Of course, I want to hear your opinion. If you want to hide it, I can do it, but you have to know that a lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
."
An Siqi fell silent again, and after a long time she said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when we get in later. I'll just say that we've been dating for a while and found that it's not suitable at all."
An Siqi nodded, as if she had no words left.
After discussing it, we returned to the box together.
Looking at the warm smiling faces of An’s parents, I was really embarrassed!
But it really should be discontinued. It will only be harder to continue.
After entering, I had no intention of sitting down, so I poured myself a glass of white wine.
While I was pouring the wine, Mr. Wen suddenly asked me: "What's wrong? Xiao Chen, is there anything important at work?"
I poured the wine, picked up the glass, shook my head, and said in a very sincere tone: "Mr. Wen, uncle, aunt, I want to say sorry to you first!"
After I finished speaking, I looked at their expressions.
An's parents were a little confused, and Mr. Wen also had a puzzled expression on his face. Only An Siqi kept her head lowered.
An's mother asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Do you have something to do? It's okay. You can go and do your work first."
"No, Auntie. Actually, I..."
An Siqi suddenly stood up at this moment, and then said: "Dad, Mom, Goddad, in fact, Chen Feng and I are not dating anymore, we have separated."
As soon as An Siqi said these words, her parents were stunned, and Mr. Wen's originally smiling face became calm.
An Siqi didn't pause, and then continued: "That's it, I don't like Chen Feng. We have been dating for a few days and I feel like we can't get along."
Quiet, suffocatingly quiet.
Originally, these words were spoken by me, after all, she is a girl.
Unexpectedly, she got there first, which made me have to swallow my words.
Her parents still looked a little confused, and Mr. Wen's entire face became ugly.
I didn’t want to hesitate any longer, so I sighed and said, “Qiqi, actually you don’t have to say that, I believe your parents and Mr. Wen can understand.”
After a pause, I continued: "Actually, Qiqi and I have never been in love."
As soon as I said these words, An's parents' expressions became even more bewildered, and Mr. Wen looked at me with a puzzled face.
I continued: "It's like this. Mr. Wen introduced Qiqi to me from the beginning. Qiqi is indeed a good girl, but I... I was actually married. Although I was divorced, my wife and I were forced to
Divorced, we will remarry soon, and I have two children..."
After a pause, I continued: "The reason why I'm like this with Qiqi is because Qiqi doesn't want to make Mr. Wen sad. She knows that Mr. Wen is not in good health, and she always wanted Mr. Wen to watch her get married, and then let me
Cooperating with her... I thought this is also a good thing, and I also hope Mr. Wen can be happy, but I didn't expect things to develop like this..."
After saying that, I sighed heavily, then picked up the glass of white wine and said, "Uncle, Auntie, Mr. Wen, thank you for your hospitality today, I'm really sorry!"
After saying this, I raised my head and drank it all.
It’s been a long time since I drank alcohol, and this was still white wine. I immediately felt a burning sensation from my throat to my stomach, which was extremely uncomfortable.
An's parents didn't speak a word the whole time, and Mr. Wen also had a dark face the whole time.
I know it will be like this, but if I don't explain it clearly now, it will be more complicated later.
An Siqi turned to me and said, "You go, go quickly."
As she spoke, she pushed me out of the box and pushed me to the door of the box.
I stood still, then bowed deeply to her parents and Mr. Wen to express my apology.
After walking out of the box, An Siqi closed the door.
After a while, I heard the sound of banging on the table...
