"Is this what you want, Qiqi?" said Xiao Long in the end. When Qiao Xin had calmed down, the two of them were now on the roof of the building, sitting together stupidly while looking at the sky that was now so hot. Summer had arrived, and now things were getting hotter and hotter for him. Even the light breeze touched their skin, and it was getting hotter and hotter.
Qiao Xin was silent, hearing Xiao Long's words even she seemed reluctant to answer at all. Her heart was so sad, even to enter her study, made Qiao Xin feel so reluctant. How could she not? She didn't want to go into her study at all. She was afraid that her friends would say bad things about her in front of her like before.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn to hide our marriage, Qiqi? If you want, I can gag their mouths, proving you are my wife and embarrass them is not difficult. But how can you instead choose such a terrible path? what do you get? What satisfaction do you get? You can't even have anything, there you will be called a woman who seduces me, because they know I have a wife. Without them knowing that my wife is you."
"Then what happened after that? Are you sure they will just shut up? I'm sure the blasphemy will attack me more and more. How not, I am an ordinary woman, I am a poor woman. How can I be with you. They must think that if I trap you, I frame you and so on so that you want to marry me. Come on, Xiao Long. I know best about this, I already know about how women's mouths when they hate something then until the end they will hate it. Even a truth would be considered a lie. Moreover, we have a contract marriage, can you imagine when we divorced? They will insult me more and more. You should know much more about it, Xiao Long. They'll definitely say if you don't like me anymore, you just want to have fun with me, and more than that, all the bad things will definitely get me affected. And I will never be able to see the world at all, I will never be able to face myself again."
"But-"
"Xiao Long, never mind. I'm so tired, I want to go back to my room," Qiao Xin finally decided.
Xiao Long couldn't help but be silent. Forcing Qiao Xin was not a very good thing. Especially now that Qiao Xin's position is fragile, Xiao Long has said a thousand times that he will consider Qiao Xin as his wife is useless. The reality was that Xiao Long and Qiao Xin had contracted marriages. Both of them had signed the agreement, and what was even more terrifying than that was when there were some points, Xiao Long initially thought that everything would be fine, but in the end, it was the points that made it difficult for them. Among them is who should hide this marriage, and what annoys me is when one of them may have fallen in love.
Xiao Long seemed to be clenching his fists tightly, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this. A very extraordinary something, which made Xiao Long's guts seem to shrink as well. What does he want now? How does he feel now? Even Xiao Long couldn't control himself, everything was gray, and everything was getting sadder and sadder now. Xiao Long hated the melancholy feeling that was creeping up on his heart these past few days. Yes, precisely after Qiao Xin came into his life, everything changed so fast and was excruciating. There was a strange feeling piled up in his chest. Sometimes he felt happy, sometimes he felt anxious, sometimes he felt sad, sometimes he even felt annoyed and angry. Even Xiao Long didn't know at all. How did he think all these strange feelings now? He shouldn't have felt a feeling that he felt so real, Xiao Long didn't know at all, but slowly he realized that if there was one thing that Xiao Long knew, the natural feeling was now starting to flow. It had even merged in his blood so perfectly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xuan Cheng and his confidant were sitting alone. The two now seemed to be looking at each other as if they were talking through eye contact, then Xuan Cheng took a deep breath and looked at his confidant while frowning.
"Now, tell me everything whatever you know, I want to know everything," Xuan Cheng finally spoke after a while of his residence. Yes, he needed something quiet. He desperately needed something peaceful right now. Because according to Xuan Cheng, this is a serious discussion, where who must carry out this discussion very carefully.
"Look, Mr. Xuan," his confidant was now starting to adjust his seat, his gaze sharp as if what he was about to say was something severe. "I overheard a conversation from Miss Liu with her female co-worker at one of the cafes near the company. There, Miss Liu's best friend urged Miss Liu because she seemed to be so curious about Miss Liu's and Master Han's marriage matters. After that happened, Miss Liu immediately told it clearly, in fact the story was really without any side being covered up. It turned out that what Master Xuan had suspected was true. The reason why their marriage was covered up, and the reason why they chose not to know each other was because their marriage was not a real one. What they had done was only a contract, the marriage was only a contract marriage because at that time Grandpa Han was in critical condition, and Grandpa Han's request that Mr. Han and Miss Liu marry. Because the two were afraid that they would not be able to grant Grandpa Han's wish, they finally decided to have a contract marriage. There is no love between the two, there is only that the two of them truly hate each other, so I think this is all in line with Lord Xuan's expectations. Miss Liu only has the status of a wife from Mr. Han, for the rest she remains the same as women in general, she is still a woman who will later bear the status of single as well."
Xuan Cheng seemed to smile, for some reason, this explanation from his confidant satisfied him. even Xuan Cheng had no idea that all of this would happen, an infrequent occurrence that made Xuan Cheng think that maybe he should try again in the future? Or did he have to do something blatantly to Qiao Xin? In the end, even Qiao Xin would separate from Xiao Long, and Xuan Cheng didn't feel like he would take her by any means. Both of them don't love each other, and that's the most critical point now. Moreover, their marriage problem was that almost no outsiders knew about their wedding, so it would be easier for Xuan Cheng to do all this. He would never be considered a usurper, no matter what. Well, at least he wasn't treated like he used to.
"Okay, you can go. I'll transfer you some money as a bonus. Take a few days off before you go back to work, wouldn't that make you happy?" Xuan Cheng said then.
Xuan Cheng's confidant was very happy. How not, being able to do something like this is very fun for him. Even now, working with Xuan Cheng is an enjoyable thing. Too many bonuses and too much money, even though he thought what he was doing were indeed jobs that didn't require him to sacrifice his life or do anything dangerous.
"Very well, Mr. Xuan. And thank you very much, since working together with Mr. Xuan I am truly grateful. Many of my debts have been paid off, and I have been able to give money to my family. My son is not in trouble anymore, Mr. Xuan. Even now that I've bought him milk, I'm glad it's all thanks to Mr. Xuan. Thank you very much for everything Mr. Xuan has done for my family."
Xuan Cheng just smiled, then he nodded his head. Letting his confidant go, Xuan Cheng now took a deep breath while taking a sip of coffee, and then he looked at the scenery outside the glass wall beside him. Several seagulls seemed to be busy picking up some seeds from a peach tree at the end of the road, and they even seemed to be fighting for real. Xuan Cheng sighed again, sipping his coffee so happily. Even the taste now, drinking coffee this bitter made Xuan Cheng not feel any bitterness other than the overwhelming sweetness, and the sweetness was intoxicating to him.
"Oh, how beautiful. I never thought the world would be this beautiful now," Xuan Cheng muttered, then he took another sip of his coffee and smiled sweetly. It seems that he wants to every day enjoy a wonderful day like this. Without anything suffocating or without anything that makes him jealous. Yes, Xuan Cheng was always jealous of Xiao Long, especially whenever Xuan Cheng saw the close interaction between Qiao Xin and Xiao Long that was shown unconsciously, which annoyed Xuan Cheng even more than anything in this world.. However, now that everything had changed, Xuan Cheng already knew the truth, and now he would be very calm about it.
