This is something Xiao Yihe has never understood. In their relationship, he has always been the one who compromised, but in the end, he was not abandoned. There was no explanation, and he even refused to meet. That's it.
A brief text message ended their three-year relationship.
Facing Xiao Yihe's question, Huo Lan struggled with how she should answer and tell the truth. Then, there was Xiaogua, who was what she was most worried about.
In the end, Huo Lan could only say one thing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the harm I did to you back then, but it's been so long, can't we let it go?"
"Humph, let it go? Huo Lan, I, Xiao Yihe, have never been so failed in my life, but you have left me completely bruised. You want me to let it go. I'm sorry, I'm not as heartless as you."
When he said this, Xiao Yihe tried his best to restrain himself. Thinking of everything in the past, he hated this woman. That was the only time his self-esteem and pride were trampled on like this, so he wanted revenge.
Back then, Huo Lan had brought him pain, and now, he wanted to make this woman feel the pain of having her pride trampled on.
This is probably because of love and hatred, and Huo Lan doesn't know how to open this knot.
Looking at the furious Xiao Yihe in front of her, Huo Lan didn't know what to say. She just stood quietly like this, as if waiting for the verdict, because she knew very well that at this moment, she was wrong.
I don't know how much time passed, but the office was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that I could only hear the breathing of two people. At this moment, Xiao Yihe gradually calmed down. Looking at the calm Huo Lan in front of him, he smiled bitterly. This woman is really heartless.
When he was angry and painful, she was so calm. He really wanted to see if this woman's heart had no warmth.
Finally, Xiao Yihe let out a long sigh. At this time, he had no intention of listening to work, let alone seeing this woman, and said in a low voice.
"You can go out, don't worry, I won't go back on what you said. As long as it's reasonable, I won't interfere with the project."
After saying that, Xiao Yihe sat down, turned his swivel chair, and turned his back to Huo Lan. He needed to calm down. Xiao Yiheng's words just reminded him that he was indeed a little abnormal during this period, and he needed to readjust his mentality.
Huo Lan didn't say anything, put down the documents in his hands, and silently exited the office.
The moment she closed the door, she exhaled heavily. Every second she spent inside was too depressing, but facing Xiao Yihe's painful complaints and questioning, she still felt guilty after all.
On the other side, Xiao Yiheng drove to the airport after leaving Yaoyuan Group. Perhaps Han Muxi's arrival would make it easier to contact him about the engagement, at least saving him the trouble of returning to Luo City.
At ten o'clock sharp, Xiao Yiheng's car stopped at the entrance of the arrival hall of Kyoto Airport. He found a place to park the car, checked the time, but did not go in. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message.
"I'm outside door three."
Xiao Yiheng didn't want to go in to pick up Han Muxi. For him, the relationship between him and Han Muxi was not good enough for him to go in and pick him up in person. After a while, the text message showed that it had been read, and Xiao Yiheng got out of the car and leaned against the car door.
Next, he lit a cigarette for himself. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
About ten minutes later, a tall woman walked out from the door of No. 3, with long hair like a waterfall, and a very tall body, especially her white swan neck, which stood out among the crowd. People around her couldn't bear to see it.
I took another look, but there was no trace of appreciation or light in Xiao Yiheng's eyes at the door.
Han Ximu stood at the door, looking at the lazy figure beside the car not far away. Compared with a year and a half ago, this man seemed to be deeper, and there was a touch of softness and infatuation on his originally aloof and distant face.
Everyone knows that Han Ximu likes Xiao Yiheng, and Xiao Yiheng himself knows it very well. However, when he agreed to get engaged a year and a half ago, he also made it very clear to Han Ximu.
This engagement has nothing to do with feelings. The engagement will be terminated every two years. Even though Xiao Yiheng said so ruthlessly, Han Ximu still agreed without hesitation. Firstly, because she felt that this was an opportunity. In two years, a lot may change. More importantly,
, the Han family was in a state of turmoil at that time, and they really needed a family as powerful as the Xiao family to rely on.
At this time, Xiao Yiheng and Han Ximu were tens of meters apart. Han Ximu was calling the man in front of her who she was obsessed with. But compared to Han Ximu's hotness, Xiao Yiheng was as distant and indifferent as he was more than a year ago, and even more so than before.
Even more chilly.
Han Ximu was unwilling to give in. She pulled her luggage and walked towards Xiao Yiheng. She stopped less than one meter away from him, let go of the luggage, looked at Xiao Yiheng with a smile, and said.
"Yiheng, we haven't seen you for so long, shouldn't you give your fiancée a hug?"
As Han Ximu said this, she walked towards Xiao Yiheng and stretched out her hands. She believed that Xiao Yiheng would not refuse, but sometimes blind confidence would only make herself more embarrassed.
Just when Han Ximu was about to meet Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yiheng stepped aside and said in a low and cold voice.
"Ms. Han, do I want to remind you that this is just a transaction between us. If you don't want to cause embarrassment, it's best to stop in moderation."
After saying that, Xiao Yiheng glanced at the two suitcases behind Han Ximu. They were related to the department, but after all, he was a man, so he couldn't be so fussy. After hesitating for a moment, he went to help put the suitcases into the trunk.
"Get in the car."
After putting the suitcase away, Xiao Yiheng helped Han Ximu open the car door and the back seat door.
Han Ximu frowned slightly when she saw this. She looked down at the passenger seat and asked.
"Can't I sit there?"
Everyone knows that a man's co-pilot is very special, but she, as Xiao Yiheng's fiancée, has never been in one before. It seems that she has never driven out alone with Xiao Yiheng before. This is the first time, but Xiao Yiheng's current behavior makes her very sad.
Uncomfortable.
Xiao Yiheng is also a ruthless person, and he showed that I don't like you to the fullest. After Han Ximu finished speaking, Xiao Yiheng said directly.
"That's not where you can sit."
After saying that, Xiao Yiheng didn't care whether Han Ximu wanted to get in the car or not, and got directly into the cab. Han Ximu saw that Xiao Yiheng didn't have any gentlemanly demeanor at all, and felt an unknown anger in her heart. However, she still tried her best to maintain her elegant image, so she could only sit in silently.
After getting out of the back seat, the car door just closed and the car drove away from the airport.
There was a sudden silence in the car, which was completely different from the atmosphere when Mo Xi was sitting in the car and not talking. When Mo Xi was not talking, the car was filled with peace and quiet that had lasted for years, but now, it was a dull and irritable silence.
"Yiheng, my parents are coming to Kyoto the day after tomorrow."
After the car drove out for a long time, Han Ximu felt really aggrieved and could only find something to talk to herself. Thinking of the phone call she received from home, she spoke.
However, Xiao Yiheng, who was driving in front, did not respond at all, not even a modal particle.
Han Ximu was unwilling to accept it and said again.
"I was on the phone with my mother a few days ago. She said that the two adults were discussing our marriage. Did you know?"
When Han Ximu said this, through the rearview mirror, he could feel the coldness on Xiao Yiheng's face, and hurriedly explained again.
"I didn't know in advance that they would mention the marriage. I thought it would still be half a year, so I never told them the truth."
Han Ximu seemed to be clearing the relationship, but how could Xiao Yiheng believe such an explanation? He said coldly.
"Since something happened suddenly, let's take advantage of this time for your parents to come over and explain everything clearly. In the past year or so, your Han family has developed well. I think this engagement can be ended early."
Xiao Yiheng is a straightforward and decisive person. If you don't like him, you don't like him. The only thing he has done against his principles in the past 20 years is this engagement based on repaying gratitude. However, after more than a year of confusion, it is time to end this marriage.
What a farce.
Han Ximu didn't expect Xiao Yiheng to be so decisive. She thought that as time went by, he would accept it. She thought that for the sake of her brother, this man would have some affection for her. It turned out that these were just her thoughts.
Han Ximu regretted why she mentioned this. Her face was not as elegant and dignified as before getting in the car. After all, she could not be as rational and indifferent as Xiao Yiheng.
"Yiheng, can't you feel my feelings for you all these years at all?"
"Sorry, this is your business and has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Yiheng answered straightforwardly, not caring whether Han Ximu could accept it or not.
"But a year and a half ago, you still agreed to get engaged to me. I thought you had some affection for me."
"Miss Han, I remember what I said very clearly at the time. I agreed to get engaged because that was the only way to get the Han family out of trouble the fastest. That was my promise to your brother."
Xiao Yiheng has always been so rational and cold when facing people he doesn't like. The Xiao Yiheng at this time and the Xiao Yiheng that Mo Xi saw were two completely different people.
Han Ximu clearly knew that this man didn't like her, but for more than a year, she always had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Perhaps, this man would slowly accept their relationship, or perhaps, out of interests, this marriage would continue.
But in the end, Xiao Yiheng's indifference made her realize the truth.
"Yiheng, my brother's life, can't I exchange for your marriage?"
Han Ximu knew that it was impossible to fall in love with this man, so she had no choice but to move out with her brother. Wasn't the marriage contract a year and a half ago also a threat to her brother's life-saving grace?
Xiao Yiheng suddenly smiled coldly. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Han Ximu with an elegant expression in the rearview mirror. He smiled coldly again. He suddenly felt that Han Xichen was pitiful.
"Miss Han, the most important thing is knowing yourself. You and your family can't be too greedy. You wanted this engagement with Xichen's kindness a year and a half ago. Why, now you want my marriage? Miss Han, are you?"
Do you think my Xiao Yiheng’s marriage is worthless or do you think your brother’s life is priceless?”
