Sky-high ex-wife refuses to remarry

It was only after the words came out that Gu Sasha realized that what he said was nonsense. They had been unable to contact Qiao Zhanbei before, how could they tell him now?

Sure enough, she was pregnant for three years.

Gu Sasha is pregnant, and she is 8 weeks pregnant. She and Shi Yanshen have already received their marriage certificates, and the wedding is scheduled to be held next month.

As soon as Ye Mian went out, she immediately saw Jiang Xun with a pale face and a thin body. Seeing him, she calmed down a little.

Seeing her tear-stained face, Jiang Xun frowned, his heart clenched, thinking she was not well, "Master..."

"Xiao Xun, I've already remembered." Ye Mian walked up to him with tears in her smile, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Jiang Xun's brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips raised, revealing a warm and warm smile, "Master, hurry to find Master!"

Gu Ye on the side raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and scrutinized him carefully with sharp eagle eyes, staring at Jiang Xun's back a little, so he couldn't help but move two steps away.

"Gu Ye." Ye Mian gave Gu Ye a look, telling him to be more polite to Jiang Xun and not treat him like Jiang Lin.

Gu Ye's expression softened, and he said lightly: "I'll take this kid to the hospital first, look at him like this, he will fall down when the wind blows."

The point is, he had to take Jiang Xun to see the psychiatry department to make sure if he had recovered from the schizophrenia.

This is also the rigorous style of Gu Ye, a special officer who was born as a scout.

After Gu Ye's reminder, Ye Mian was also worried about him, "Yes, Xiao Xun, you have to go to the hospital immediately."

Jiang Xun was very obedient and sensible, he didn't let Ye Mian see him off, but told her to go find Qiao Zhanbei quickly.

Ye Mian was eager to return to Qiao Zhanbei without his advice, but he didn't know where to find him, so he called the capital to make sure that he was not in the compound, nor in their former villa.

The nanny in the villa said that he left the house three months ago and never went back.

In the car, Ye Mian called Ancheng.

"Sister Mian, I don't know where Mr. Qiao went. I also checked his whereabouts. He didn't use his ID card to buy any air tickets or train tickets."

Even his most trusted deputy, An Cheng, didn't know where he went.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mian looked at the flashing western-style buildings outside the car window, and remembered a place.

He knew that after she and Qiao Qiao settled in Sioux City, they would always live in Sioux City, guarding their mother and daughter secretly, right?

Ye Mian gave the driver an address.

Built in the period of the Republic of China, the mansion with a combination of Chinese and Western styles is Qiao Zhanbei's other business in Sioux City.After she escaped from Jiang Rin before, he brought her here.

In the afternoon, the weather was hot and dry, and green ivy climbed all over the red brick wall.

Ye Mian stood outside the black iron door and rang the doorbell.

A middle-aged butler came out of the villa, hurried over to open the door for her, and said respectfully, "Ma'am."

The housekeeper here also knows her.

Ye Mian nodded and asked, "Does Mr. Qiao live here?"

"Madam, since returning to Beijing years ago, sir has not been here again." The housekeeper replied respectfully.

He is not here.

Ye Mian frowned in frustration.

She walked through the front yard and walked into the villa. All the furniture was covered with dust sheets, and it was indeed unoccupied.

When she left the mansion, she remembered another place, her hometown, Xun Town, where they met.

Will Qiao Zhanbei live there all the time?I heard from Song Qiao before that after he was paralyzed, he lived in her old house when she was a child for a while.

Thinking of this, she immediately got into the car and asked the driver to take her to Xun Town.

At sunset, Ye Mian's heart was throbbing while walking on the bluestone road beside the river, and his eyes were fixed on the corner at the end without blinking.

Will he appear out of nowhere, where they first met?

Ye Mian's nose was sour, her throat was choked, she quickened her pace, and when she reached the corner, she didn't meet him.

Unwilling to give up, she returned to her old house when she was a child. The door was locked, and the neighbor next to her said that no one had been here.

He's not here either.

Lost, anxious, longing, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, her back was against the wall, the back of her head was pressed against the wall, her throat was blocked, and her eyes were hot and humid.

Where did he go?

At this moment, she wanted to see him crazily and hold him tightly.

She waited until dark and did not see Qiao Zhanbei appear.

Xu Mobai called and told her that Qiao Zhanbei had indeed never been to Sucheng in the past few months.

"Brother Qiao, I'm fine, show up soon..."

As night fell, Ye Mian was walking on the bluestone road, she took two steps and turned her head, looking behind her, at the corner, she murmured.

However, Qiao Zhanbei never showed up.

*

The next day, Ye Mian planned to go back to the capital to continue looking for Qiao Zhanbei. Before leaving, she went to the hospital to visit Jiang Xun.

The psychiatrist did tests and examinations on him, and the results showed that he was not schizophrenic, that is to say, his second personality was indeed dead.

In the ward, Jiang Xun sat down leaning against the head of the bed. His face was still pale, his features were thin, his jaw line was as sharp as a knife, and his face was so handsome.

Thick black bangs fell on his forehead, and he was still the harmless puppy boy from before.

"Master, when I was eight years old, I was split into a second personality by my stepmother. That time, when I was about to drown, I suddenly became a different person. I countered my stepmother and almost drowned her. Then After that, she thought I was crazy and sent me to an old house in the country."

"Every time I was abused when I was a child, I especially hoped that someone would come out to protect me. This desire was too strong, so I probably had a schizophrenia. Although Jiang Lin is very bad, he has been protecting me."

With a shy smile on the corner of Jiang Xun's mouth, he narrated what happened to him.

Ye Mian's eyes turned red when she heard this, how cruel is the abuse that would make an eight-year-old child schizophrenic?

Jiang Lin put his stepmother in a dog cage, cut off her tongue, and gouged out her eyes, just to avenge Jiang Xun.

"Xiao Xun, thank you for saving your master and me." She gently lifted the bangs on his eyelids, revealing his beautiful eyes, and said sincerely.

"Master, you should blame me, it's all because of me." Jiang Xun's eyes turned red, and he still felt very ashamed.

"Nonsense, you are you, Jiang Lin is Jiang Lin, in my eyes, you are two people, you are an angel, he is a devil." Ye Mian rolled his eyes at him and said seriously.

After the words fell, she smiled softly again.

"By the way, Master, I remembered. Brother Lin, no, Jiang Lin lied to me. I didn't get a certificate with you. He fooled me with a fake marriage certificate." Jiang Xun's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Ye Mian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

She and Xiao Xun didn't get a certificate, so it was easier for them to remarry, but what about others?

Saying goodbye to Jiang Xun, she took Qiao Qiao back to the capital and went straight to their home.

Under the blue sky, the small garden in the front yard of the villa is colorful and vibrant, as if someone has carefully taken care of it.

"Before he left, sir, he asked the gardener to come and take care of it once a week, fertilize and spray the flowers and plants, and also told me to water it every day." The nanny said to Ye Mian.

He resigned to his fate and did not pester her anymore, but he still couldn't let go of her in his heart. Even her small garden was carefully tended to.

"When Mr. left that day, he only carried a suitcase and didn't bring any clothes." The nanny said again.

Ye Mian choked up, she went to their previous bedroom.

This bedroom, which was full of their ambiguity and affection, became a devil's den in her eyes when her memory was confused.

She sat down by the bed, picked up his pillow, hugged her in her arms, buried her face in the pillow, and there was still the scent of her greed on him.

In the cloakroom, the transparent glass cabinet door was spotless, and there were suits of his suits hanging inside. Most of them were ordered for him when she went to the haute couture men's clothing store before they divorced.

She hasn't ordered suits for him for a long, long time.

She saw his engagement ring in the jewelry cabinet. Her diamond ring was still there, but his male ring was missing.

The moment she pushed open the study door, she subconsciously looked at the desk, but she couldn't see the picture of him sitting there seriously processing emails, or smoking a cigarette and thinking.

On the desk, the double-sided embroidery was missing.

She also saw her old suitcase. After she opened it, the textbooks, exercise books, and the caps of the soda they drank together before, as well as the gifts he gave her, were still lying quietly. inside.

Just missing the sketchbook and her work notebook.

Could it be that he was taken away?

Ye Mian searched the whole study and couldn't find it, not even in the bedroom.

The nanny said that he was carrying a suitcase, so he probably only took the double-sided painting, her sketchbook and work notes.

Where did he go with them?

Four Seasons Hotel New York

"After more than a year of hard work, Joe's was finally listed on the New York Stock Exchange. At the celebration banquet in the evening, Mr. Qiao made an exception and allowed me to drink. When I returned to the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, I took advantage of my drunkenness to get Joe Zongsheng rushed..."

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there are bright lights, and the big screen in Times Square not far away plays advertisements in scrolling.

The man in the dark blue silk nightgown was sitting on the sofa by the window, flipping through the notebook, looking at the lines of graceful and tenacious words, his mind was full of ambiguous and charming images of their first night.

Obviously a very sweet memory.

His eyes gradually turned red.

London meeting coffee shop

"After the meeting with Mr. Joe today, I went out for a walk in the streets of London alone. I came across a coffee shop. The barista was very skilled. I asked him for hand pouring skills and bought a pack of small Ethiopian native coffee beans. Joe Total favorite."

"Oh, Joe, our God of Wealth, here you come again!"

Known as the God of Wealth, Qiao Zhanbei had three black lines appearing from his forehead. He walked behind the operating table of the coffee shop and continued to practice pouring coffee.

After a while, there were more and more customers in the store, which is why the boss called him the "God of Wealth".

Every time this customer named "Joe" visits their coffee shop, the traffic can always double several times.

The barista in the store also took great pleasure in teaching this cool and handsome guy with an oriental face how to make coffee.

Half a month later, Ye Mian still couldn't get in touch with Qiao Zhanbei, and the customs didn't find his exit record, so she looked for him all over the country.

Ye Mian had just returned to the hotel where she was staying, when she received a WeChat picture and several voice messages from Ji Zhou.

The moment she clicked on the picture, she froze.

In the photo, the man is wearing light-colored jeans, a white shirt with a stand-up collar, and a dark brown apron in front of him. He is making pour-over coffee.

With his head down, he couldn't see the whole face clearly, but he could see the high nose bridge, cold pale complexion, and thin lips.

It's him!

Before she could hear Ji Zhou's voice, she immediately made a voice call.

Ji Zhou said that he saw it on ins by accident, and felt like Qiao Zhanbei, so he sent it to her, but he didn't expect it to be.

Ye Mian saw the positioning of foreign netizens, London, meeting coffee shop, she used to patronize it, and she also learned her skills with the barista there.

After returning to China that time, he made coffee for Qiao Zhanbei, and he praised her for her improved skills.

He actually went to the coffee shop she had been to before, and learned how to make coffee there...

Ye Mian was so excited that she immediately booked a flight to London.

She went straight to the coffee shop.

"Sorry, miss, Joe hasn't visited our store for five days. He's graduated." The owner of the coffee shop spoke English in response to her inquiry.

"Then do you know where he lives? Or do you have his contact information?" Ye Mian asked earnestly, speaking English with an authentic London accent.

The owner of the coffee shop shook his head slightly, "He is a man of few words and doesn't even have a mobile phone. I only know his name is Joe."

Ye Mian's heart jumped for joy, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, and she was filled with disappointment.

Before leaving, she asked the boss why Qiao Zhanbei came to learn how to make coffee.

"He said that his lover made good coffee and had visited our store and asked our barista for advice. He wanted to experience what his lover had done."

Hearing what the boss said, Ye Mian left the coffee shop with tears in her eyes.

She understood that he took her notebook, alone, and traveled alone to the places they had visited together before.

If she didn't recover her memory, how lonely he would be for the rest of his life...

Ye Mian thought that Qiao Zhanbei was experiencing the pain of missing her and the despair of not being able to be with her at this moment, and felt distressed and anxious.

I wish I could find him right away.

Just when she spent a lot of money to post missing person notices on big advertising screens throughout London, Qiao Zhanbei had already arrived in Paris.

"After attending the negotiation meeting with Mr. Qiao today, I passed by the square and saw many white pigeons. I asked the driver to let me out of the car. Unexpectedly, he also came down with me and fed the pigeons with me."

The white pigeons fed by tourists are fat and not afraid of people.

Qiao Zhanbei sat on the bench, spread his palms, and a white pigeon landed on his shoulder, begging for food. Hearing the sound of "coo coo coo", he turned his head and looked to the side, "these pigeons are all used to-"

Before the words fell, he froze.

If there is no her by his side, he will never have her for the rest of his life to accompany him, unless he drives her out of mental illness again.

The man's throat choked instantly, and the end of his eyes turned red.

After a long time, he got up, left the square, and set off for the next destination—the place they had been to together.

……

"I've returned to China. I just landed at Jiangcheng International Airport. I still haven't heard from him. I've put missing person notices on the broadcasts at many airports. I haven't heard from him. He didn't use his identity to buy the ticket. This bastard..." Ye Mian pulled the suitcase and talked with Gu Sasa on the phone while leaving the airport.

She flew for more than half a month, but still couldn't find him.

"Little beauty, he will come back sooner or later. Hurry up and buy a ticket to go back to Beijing. You can't miss my wedding. Shi Yanshen can miss it, but you can't." Gu Sasa teased her heartlessly.

Ye Mian, who was full of frustration, was really amused by her, "Okay, I'll fly back right away."

After hanging up the phone, she prepared to buy a ticket.

7 month 22 day.

After returning to China, the phone automatically adjusted the time, and she realized that today is July 7.

Will it?

Will he be there today?

Ye Mian walked to the taxi space, "Master, how long does it take to get to Xun Town?"

"Take the high speed for two hours."

She raised her wrist to look at the time, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Without hesitation, she got into a taxi.

……

In the summer evening, the surface of the lake is sparkling, and the smell of wet lake water floats in the air.

The tourists walked back together, Ye Mian was alone, going against the flow of people, leaving the suitcases in the canteen at the bridge.

She didn't know if Qiao Zhanbei had returned to China, and she wasn't sure if he still remembered this day.

Anniversary of their first meeting.

As she walked, Ye Mian stopped in her footsteps, and looked not far away at an unforgettable figure coming out of the alley. She had a sore nose, covered her mouth, and her eyes filled with enthusiasm.

Feeling a pair of scorching eyes, Qiao Zhan turned his head to the north——

Under the afterglow of the yellow sunset, the person he was thinking about day and night, the person he was dreaming of, was standing tens of meters away from him.

She is wearing a white shirt, a khaki skirt, and a low ponytail. She is mature and intellectual.

He thought he would never be able to get closer in this life, the person he couldn't love, at this moment, was walking towards him.

He forgot to breathe.

Ye Mian blinked away tears, his figure was clearly reflected in her eyes, white shirt, jeans, he was standing where she was waiting for him back then.

A warm current overflowed her chest, and her footsteps became faster and faster. As soon as she returned to her heart, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Woo...Brother Qiao..." She lay on his chest and cried coquettishly.

Qiao Zhanbei lowered his head, staring blankly at the person in his arms.Her warm and soft body filled his empty heart, his breath was filled with her breath, and the man's Adam's apple rolled.

"I remembered, I remembered..." Ye Mian threw herself into his arms, crying like a child.

The man was stunned again, then his throat choked up, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

……

After an unknown amount of time, she poked her head out of his arms, looked up at his handsome face as cold and white as a knife, with a smile in her tearful eyes, and said, "Brother Qiao, let's go home. "

14 years ago today, at the same place, he said to her: Come home with me.

--Finish--
