"..." An Nuannuan lowered her head, pinching her fingers, feeling too guilty to look at him, "I'm sorry."
Xu Qian smiled bitterly.
He knew in his heart that this was the answer, he just didn't want to give up and wanted to hear her say it himself.
She didn't feel sorry for him.
As his brother said, the two of them broke up not because of other people's interference, and she didn't fall in love with someone else during this relationship. He was just...a little frustrated.
He and Nuannuan had been talking for two years, but they had not reached the point of meeting their parents. After all, she and her brother had already reached this point within a few days of confirming their relationship.
He took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The two walked forward slowly, but remained speechless.
The atmosphere was stiff and awkward.
This was something that had never happened when they were together before. In the past, as long as the two of them were together, even if they didn't talk and each did their own thing, the atmosphere would be warm and harmonious.
Now...it's different after all.
Xu Qian pursed his lips. He couldn't bear to scold her harshly, but he couldn't be so generous as to bless them with a smile.
"Let's go."
"Um?"
Xu Qian smiled helplessly, "I feel a little complicated now. No matter what I say, it's wrong. In this case, I'd better stop saying it."
"..." An Nuannuan felt even more uncomfortable.
Xu Qian is always like this, gentle and considerate, and never does anything to embarrass her.
She could only say those three words repeatedly, "I'm sorry!"
Xu Qian shook his head and said nothing.
The two of them didn't say a few words, and turned back in silence. As soon as they reached the halfway point, they met Xiao Rui, who was striding over. When he saw the two of them coming back, he silently raised his stopwatch, "It's five minutes and five seconds.
"
"..." Xu Qian was dumbfounded.
It was the first time that he saw such a childish side of Xiao Rui. He was a little sad and a little funny, "How could I abduct someone in such a hurry?"
"You also have to have this ability. I'm still very confident in myself."
"..." Yes! If you are confident, you will run here in a hurry within five seconds.
The two of them stood side by side. The scene was a bit dazzling. Xu Qian slowly let out a breath, "My dad took me to see your girlfriend. Now that I've finished watching it, I'll leave first."
"Won't you stay for lunch?"
"No, the company still has something to do."
Xiao Rui knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't force him to stay. He just pursed his lips and said, "Take care of your mood."
"I know."
He didn't stay to eat because he didn't want people to see that something was wrong with him.
Today is the day when Nuannuan and Xiao Rui meet their parents. Uncle, aunt, and Xiao Xingxing all came back from other places. The whole family attaches great importance to today's meeting. Everyone is very happy. Don't make the whole family unhappy because of him.
.
Xu Qian turned around, took two steps and then stopped.
After a few seconds, he turned around, walked back, pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Rui, with warning in his eyes, "You have such a bad temper...be nice to her, otherwise, even if you are my brother, I will treat her again."
Snatched back."
"..." This is what he said to his love rival.
Xiao Rui shuddered, squeezed An Nuannuan's hand, and said in a domineering and firm tone, "Don't worry, you don't have this chance!"
Xu Qian put his hands in his trouser pockets. This time, he left without looking back. He walked very slowly, and his steps seemed a bit heavy. The ginkgo leaves in the yard fell on his shoulders, and his figure looked a bit thin and lonely.
.
An Nuannuan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hey! I'm back!"
"..." She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Rui, and saw Xiao Rui's unhappy look on his face, "Why are you still looking at me when people are gone? I am still here, and you think I don't exist."
.”
There is a strong sour smell on the body.
An Nuannuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't make trouble."
"You can't look away from other men, and you still say I'm being unreasonable?"
Xiao Rui pinched her face and said, "An Nuannuan, please be reasonable, okay?"
"I can't move my eyes away..." "You're still looking at me if I don't call you."
"Don't I feel ashamed of him?"
"What are you ashamed of?
It's normal for a man and a woman to fall in love and then break up after they feel it's inappropriate. What's there to feel guilty about?"
"..." This is the truth, but... didn't she see Xu Qian feeling uncomfortable? She licked her lips and said, "I have always felt sorry for him."
"why?"
"The original breakup was entirely unilaterally caused by me."
Thinking of the situation at that time, An Nuannuan was a little silent. She said with difficulty, "At that time... An Daqing threatened me with my mother's medical expenses and asked me to accompany him... He wanted to sell me at a good price and forced me to marry him.
Xu Qian breaks up.
I was quite unwilling at that time.”
Thinking of the scene of their reunion in the imperial palace, a cold light suddenly appeared in Xiao Rui's eyes.
"We have been dating for two years, and he has always been very considerate to me. However, I broke up with him without even giving him a reason. I have always felt that I did a bad job in this matter."
"Um...regret it?"
An Nuannuan glared at him and said nothing.
"If you regret it, just go after him. He shouldn't be far away yet."
"Hey, so generous?"
"Of course..." he added through gritted teeth, "...impossible!"
"..." An Nuannuan had an "I knew it" expression.
Xiao Rui held her hand forcefully and said domineeringly, "It's too late to regret it now. I dared to run and break my legs."
"When did I say I regretted it?"
"That's right if you don't regret it."
Xiao Rui said in a deep voice, "You don't have to feel guilty. It's not entirely because of you that you two have reached this point. Xu Qian is also responsible."
"Well, how do you say this?"
Xiao Rui tensed his jaw, "If it were me, it would be impossible to break up."
"oh?"
"If it were me, I would find out what happened. If I knew it was An Daqing who forced you, I would crush him to death so that he would no longer pose a threat.
Plus, I’ll catch you and spank you hard.”
An Nuannuan's face suddenly turned red, "Why?"
"Am I so unworthy of your trust?
When you encounter a problem, you don’t know how to tell me and work together to find a solution, but you only end up breaking up?
Damn it if I can agree to break up! Unless you mention that the breakup is because you like someone else... Bah! It's not okay to like someone else. If you dare to like someone else... I will break the other person's legs to see if he still dares to appear in front of you.
My Xiao Rui’s girlfriend can only like me!”
"You...are unreasonable."
Xiao Rui glanced at her and said, "Let's just fall in love. What's the point?"
"..." "In short, in my opinion, it is inevitable for you to break up.
Ah Qian has a good character and a bad character. He is indecisive when he should be strong. Who is to blame?"
"You are using strong words to make sense."
"Tell yourself, which of my words doesn't make sense?"
"..." An Nuannuan opened her mouth, but couldn't refute.
“Everything is the best arrangement!”
Xiao Rui hugged her waist forcefully, "So, stop thinking about Hongxing cheating on you!"
"..." An Nuannuan vomited blood.
When did she have the idea of Hongxing cheating!!
