Everyone had already gathered. There was Mei, Li Xuan, even Xuan Cheng as well. They seemed to be waiting anxiously, how could they not, it was almost noon, but Qiao Xin and Xiao Long had not yet arrived. A very annoying thing when they have to wait in this way.
"Actually where is Xiao Long at? Why did he take so long?" Li Xuan complained.
Mei and Xuan Cheng looked at each other, and then both fell silent. Yes, how can the two not be quiet? Talking is the same. Qiao Xin and Xiao Long would never come so quickly.
Until finally, a sedan came, stopped perfectly in front of the company. They all immediately looked at the car not long after Qiao Xin and Xiao Long got out of the car and followed Tao.
Tao looked troubled.. How could he not? He had to carry three bags at once—belonging to Qiao Xin, Xiao Long and his own.
"Tao, where's my bag. I'll take it, I don't want you to be in trouble like this."
"Sorry, madam—" Tao said, which made Qiao Xin glare perfectly. "I mean, little sister Qiao Xin, just let me carry. It's my job."
"Alright, where's the bag." Xiao Long immediately took Qiao Xin's bag and him, and then he took the two. Qiao Xin was about to snatch it up, but Xiao Long directly glared. "No need for much drama, besides your best friend already knows about our relationship."
"But, Mr. Li and Mr. Xuan?" said a somewhat confused Qiao Xin.
"Even your wedding ring is clear enough to prove that we are husband and wife."
"What?!" Qiao Xin was shocked. Xiao Long also seemed to smile, and then he folded his arms across his chest.
"Our wedding ring, nothing equals. Because our ring is a hereditary ring from the Han family, and because of this uniqueness, Han family relatives can know our ring is a wedding ring belonging to the Han family because they know from the ancestors of the Han family first. Mom and Dad also used to wear this ring. before we got married and this ring was passed down to us."
Qiao Xin immediately hid her ring, and then she looked at Xiao Long with a highly annoyed look.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have asked you to buy a normal wedding ring. At the very least, a common wedding ring that many people can wear," Qiao Xin later annoyed.
Xiao Long glanced back at Qiao Xin with a cold expression on his face, and then he chuckled again.
"Tsk! Do you think that the Han family is that low? You should be grateful that you have married into the greatest family in this country."
Xiao Long immediately walked casually over to his friends, while Qiao Xin immediately froze stupidly. How could she not? Didn't she expect that Xiao Long had tricked her even to this extent? However, Qiao Xin tried to relax, relaxed all the restlessness in her heart then she took a deep breath.
"Relax, Qiao Xin, calm down. Let's just say that this marriage is real, and you are being introduced to your husband's friends. Why do you look so nervous? Calm down, haven't you told everyone that you're married? After all, they're the only ones who know you're married to Young Master Han, other than that no one knows right? yes, you should calm down, Qiao Xin. Calm down, and calm down," Qiao Xin said to herself. Then she immediately walked over to Mei as well as Xiao Long.
"Why did you take so long?" annoyed Li Xuan, his eyes immediately bulged perfectly with his hands on his hips.
Xiao Long seemed to turn his head in exasperation, and then he took another deep breath.
"Earlier, someone woke up late, I even waited for an hour," complained Xiao Long while glancing at Qiao Xin. Qiao Xin just lowered her head, causing Li Xuan to hit Tao's arm.
"You bastard, Tao. How can you tell your boss to wait for an hour, are you crazy?"
Qiao Xin couldn't help but be dumbfounded. How could she not? She didn't expect that even Li Xuan wouldn't realize that it was her who woke up late.
Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng approached Qiao Xin, making Xiao Long look at the incident with embarrassment. How could he not? Xuan Cheng's body language irritated Xiao Long.
"Qiao Xin, are you okay? Have you ever climbed a mountain before? Later I will make a tent for you," said Xuan Cheng later.
Qiao Xin smiled blandly, and then she glanced at Xiao Long, who was just silent. Annoyed was something Xiao Long felt right now. How not his wife seduced his own best friend in front of his eyes and the head is very annoying. Then, Xiao Long pulled Qiao Xin's hand to bring her body closer to him.
"No need, I'll make a tent for Qiqi," irked Xiao Long, with an even more annoyed look than usual. Xuan Cheng looked silent, and he also didn't know what to do now.
While Li Xuan looked extremely flustered, how could he not? This is a terrible thing, and the two friends even fight because of a woman who already has a husband.
"Why are you guys scrambling to pitch a tent for little sister Qiao Xin? Tao is already here, he is Qiao Xin's younger sister's cousin. After all, Qiao Xin's younger sister also already has a husband. You guys don't mess around, and you Xiao Long, remember your wife is at home, don't ever flirt with other women!" angry Li Xuan.
Xiao Long smiled, then he showed off his wedding ring with a smile full of confidence. "You see, my wedding ring? Even I have pinned this ring and am very proud of it, I am proud and my wife is proud, so you don't have to remind me of my wife's problems. He is very close to me, and we will always be together forever."
Qiao Xin's face immediately turned red. She never expected that Xiao Long would touch her heart. How could she not? She felt very flattered and appreciated. Something that made Qiao Xin even more confused. Her heartfelt so warm, but she tried to think clearly. This is because of the chip that is in Xiao Long's brain. That's why Xiao Long is so sweet to her. This marriage was only a contract marriage, so Qiao Xin shouldn't be so big-headed.
"Shouldn't we be leaving soon? Being here and continuing to talk wouldn't be good either. The bus that will take us to our destination has arrived a long time ago, we haven't climbed the mountain yet, I'm afraid it will be too late. Let's go immediately, "said Mei later. She didn't want her best friend to be the subject of debate like this. Mei then immediately grabbed Qiao Xin's arm for her to walk. It didn't matter to Xiao Long. This time, what was clear was that Qiao Xin would sit alone with him without having to be bothered by Xiao Long and Xuan Cheng. After all, Mei also wanted to confirm before she agreed that she would release Qiao Xin for Xiao Long.
During the trip, Qiao Xin could only steal glances at Xiao Long, sitting right behind her, folding her arms across her chest. Xiao Long didn't even sleep at all. The expression on his face was cold and annoyed, looking at Qiao Xin almost without even blinking at all. Qiao Xin became uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Long sitting with Tao and Qiao Xin sitting with Mei. For then, Qiao Xin let out a long breath.
"I think camping this time will be fun camping. But in fact, it seems I was wrong. I really didn't think that my life would turn out to be this terrible," Qiao Xin complained. She then held her head which suddenly hurt. Even her life was a mess right now.
"Qiao Xin, what are you talking about?" Mei said then, and she then pulled her best friend's body closer to her. "Right now is a very thrilling thing for you. How not, Mr. Han and Mr. Xuan are really in a scramble. I really wonder which of them loves you the most. Before proving that, I have to be very firm and hard on you. Don't be careless, don't be easily charmed by any of the two men, because I don't want you to get hurt because of this."
Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath, and then she looked at Mei with a resigned look on her face. What Mei said was true. How could it not? This happened. After all, she had to be firm with herself. Whoever must not easily touch her must not be easily charmed by whatever Xiao Long does to her.
Yes, Qiao Xin realized who this Xiao Long was. Xiao Long is the successor of the Han family fortune. Xiao Long is a rich man, and it's not like she is the poorest person in the world. So, Qiao Xin tried to be neutral. She couldn't lean on anyone, and she had to steel her own heart before things would break her heart. She is expecting something that she shouldn't expect at all.
"You're right, May. I don't want to have high hopes either, he's too high for me, and it's hard for me to reach him. So how could I possibly hope that he would love me. I don't want to hope for more, May. Because I don't want to be heartbroken and I don't want to get hurt. I have to be aware of myself and who I am."
Mei looked at the sad-looking Qiao Xin with a sad expression on her face. How could she not? Mei knows that her best friend loves Xiao Long. But how come these two people don't want to be honest with each other about their feelings? A thing that makes Mei seem irritated too.
