After the divorce, the boss tore off my vest with his own hands

Qiao An looked at Chu Zhixin dimly. After a long time, the guard on her face relaxed a little, and she asked softly, "Tell me, why are you so persistent in asking me out? What do you want to do?"

Come to think of it, this is not the first time that Chu Zhixin has asked Qiao An out for coffee and dessert.

But before, no matter how many messages Chu Zhixin sent, Qiao An never replied and never showed up for the appointment.

Until this time, Chu Zhixin actually didn't expect Qiao An to come. He just planned to sit until the store closed and then leave, but he didn't expect...she actually came!

"Hey, look at what you said. After all, we are friends who share life and death. I just wanted to meet you and chat. What other purpose do I have?"

Chu Zhixin waved his hand, and treated Qiao An as if they were old friends of decades, free and easy yet intimate.

"really?"

Joan's expression relaxed a little. She picked up the lemonade in front of her and took a sip.

"Why are you lying to me!"

Chu Zhixin said sincerely, "Although you don't consider me a friend, I consider you as my best friend from the bottom of my heart. I have long wanted to have a cup of coffee and chat with you."

Qiao An was also touched by Chu Zhixin's sincerity. She lowered her head slightly and stirred the water in the cup intentionally or unintentionally with a spoon. "How have you been these days? I heard... you were in trouble before, and it seemed that your life was almost in danger?"

"That's what happened."

Chu Zhixin talked openly about the dark days before, "To be honest, my life was full of ups and downs some time ago. I went blind and was almost poisoned to death. I was really close to death."

“So it’s true…”

Qiao An opened his eyes wide in shock and looked at Chu Zhixin with some sympathy.

It’s hard to imagine how this woman could endure so much pain.

"Don't look at me with such sympathetic eyes. Compared with what you've been through, what I've been through is nothing. Don't worry, I'm very strong inside and I can handle it!"

Chu Zhixin couldn't stand other people's sympathy the most. He touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said in a nonchalant manner.

“Pain cannot be compared.”

Qiao An reached out and covered the back of Chu Zhixin's hand. "It is precisely because I have also experienced bad things that I can empathize with you. I can see that you have been having a bad time these days."

"Hey, I'm fine, so I say, while we're all fine, let's get together more often. You see, things are unpredictable, and you never know when I'll die. By then, it'll be hard to find someone to drink coffee with you."

"Don't say that, it's unlucky!"

Qiao An frowned, and at this moment she accepted Chu Zhixin from the bottom of her heart, "As you said, we are friends who live and die together. We must live well so that we don't waste every chance of escaping death!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Chu Zhixin nodded heavily, feeling that Qiao An was such a good girl. Even though she was in hell, she could still look up to heaven and maintain her unique innocence and kindness.

Such a good woman, she should be happy!

The waiter quickly brought over the exquisite desserts, and Chu Zhixin enthusiastically introduced Qiao An to her favorite categories.

The two women were like best friends who had known each other for years. They tasted each other's desserts, expressed admiration from time to time, and laughed continuously.

"Qiao An, what have you been busy with these days? You seem mysterious and it's harder than climbing to heaven to meet you!"

Chu Zhixin took a sip of the soft and dense cake and asked Qiao An casually.

Qiao An originally had a smile on his face, but now it froze and his eyes turned colder. "Why are you asking this?"

"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually, I don't have any other purpose."

Chu Zhixin put two fingers together and said piously: "I swear, I am only concerned about my friend. If I have any second thoughts, I will be struck by lightning."

"Bah bah bah!"

Qiao An's thin brows immediately frowned, "You fool, you said such unlucky words again, you really can't say such words casually."

"What can I do? If I don't say this, it won't be enough to prove my innocence. You're still guarding against me like a thief."

Chu Zhixin drooped his shoulders and said with a wronged look.

"Okay, okay, I won't be on guard against you anymore, and you should stop talking nonsense."

Qiao An couldn't do anything about Chu Zhixin, so she took a deep breath and confessed, "I'm currently a Chinese teacher in an elementary school. It was Mr. Sheng who helped me get the position. She also bought me a three-bedroom apartment near the school. I stay with the children during the day, and watch TV shows and check my phone at night. I feel that my life is plain and comfortable... This is the happiest time of my life in all these years."

Joan recalled the first half of her life, just like recalling her previous life, and it felt extremely unreal.

She didn't want to recall her dark, dirty, and morbid past at all. If possible, she would rather lose all her memories of the past!

"Sheng Tingye... helped you so much?"

Chu Zhixin was a little surprised.

That guy looks cold and cruel, seemingly very unkind, but he actually has such a warm side in private. He is a living Lei Feng, who does good deeds without leaving his name?

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Sheng and I don't have that kind of relationship!"

Qiao An waved her hands and said, "Mr. Sheng is a good man. He only helped me because he sympathized with me. We were innocent from beginning to end, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to you. You must not misunderstand him."

"Of course I won't misunderstand that you two have anything..."

Chu Zhixin quickly explained: "I was just surprised, because this guy usually looks very cold and indifferent, I didn't expect him to be so warm-hearted."

If Sheng Tingye approached Qiao An in order to defeat his brother, Qiao An is now just a weak and poor woman with no use value. It is very unlike his personality for him to be willing to help her with all his heart.

"how could be!"

Qiao An shook her head, "You still don't know Mr. Sheng well enough. He is the most affectionate and righteous man I have ever met. He has great charisma. No man in the world can compare to him. You should cherish him!"

"Haha, he is quite affectionate and loyal, but that doesn't stop him from abandoning his wife and children and having an affair with another woman!"

Although Chu Zhixin had let it go, he still couldn't help but blurt out a complaint.

"Abandoning your wife and children?"

Qiao An seemed to have just heard something shocking. "That's impossible. Is there some misunderstanding? I guarantee with my life that Mr. Sheng is definitely not that kind of person."

"Hey, who knows!"

Chu Zhixin didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked Qiao An again: "You just said that no man in the world can compare to Sheng Tingye, then...what about my brother?"
