No divorce! Mr. Lu knelt down and coaxed him every night.

[Qiao Jinfan, no one will wait for you in Xiang City forever. ]

These words were engraved into Qiao Jinfan's bones.

For the rest of his life, when he thinks about it, even if he has a happy family, he will miss the bright clothes and horses of his youth and the young and innocent love in the dead of night.

……

Qiao Group conference room.

Qiao Jinfan was distracted for the second time, and Secretary Li whispered to him, "Mr. Qiao, do you have any opinion on Mr. Zhao's proposal?"

Qiao Jinfan came to his senses.

He looked across at Zhao Xuelan, who was looking at him. Even though Zhao Xuelan was well-dressed, he could still imagine the lingering scene last night...

A little farewell is better than a wedding!

There was a sneer on Qiao Jinfan's lips.

Now, he is sure that Zhao Xuelan was behind Qiao Huan's return to City B. Her purpose is to make Qiao Huan have a break with him and let her be Zhao Xuelan's wife peacefully from now on.

When the love rivals meet, the atmosphere is tense.

Employees on both sides felt it, and almost dared not look their superiors in the face, quietly reducing their presence...

The initial negotiations ended less than ideally.

When there were only two men left in the huge conference room, there was deathly silence.

Zhao Xuelan spoke first—

"I know Qiao Huan and you have a relationship."

"I saw you guys at the British Ball eight years ago."

"Qiao Jinfan, in fact, Qiao Huan and I have been a couple in name only for two years. What finally brought us together was probably the several times you met after she returned to China. It was probably in these few years that you, Qiao Jinfan, couldn't let go of your dignity as a nobleman and refused to bow your head and coax a girl who loved you deeply."

"If you are determined, you will always find her."

"Maybe right now, you mean more to her than me because you grew up together. But I am her husband, I own her life, and decades later, my name and Qiao Huan's will be engraved together on her tombstone."

……

Zhao Xuelan smiled slightly: "Love is not about first come, last served, but just right."

"is it?"

Qiao Jinfan was wearing a classic black and white suit. He sat in the first seat and looked at the man who was a few years older than him. His expression was extremely cold. "There are divorces after marriage! Zhao Xuelan, why do you think she will grow old with you?"

"With my heart."

"Qiao Jinfan, I think you have met."

"But please remember that Qiao Huan is not only my wife, Zhao Xuelan, but also the adopted daughter of your Qiao family. She is also the woman that you, Qiao Jinfan, have truly loved... If you make things difficult for a woman, you are not a real man!"

After Zhao Xuelan finished speaking, she put out the cigarette in her hand.

He left with his briefcase.

When his hand was holding the door handle of the conference room, Qiao Jinfan suddenly spoke softly: "Zhao Xuelan, you are a businessman! Then let's talk about cooperation. Under what conditions can you divorce her?"

Zhao Xuelan paused.

He didn't look back, but just held the door handle and smiled faintly: "Qiao Jinfan, love and marriage are not transactions! Once lost, it is lost. If money can buy it back, then it is not true love."

After he said that, he really left.

Qiao Jinfan sat for a long time, then came to the French window——

outside the window,

The buildings of the Qiao Group reach the sky and are majestic and spectacular. Among them is a 128-story twin tower that was built after he took over. It has become a new landmark in City B and can accommodate 4000 people working at the same time. The market value of the entire Qiao Group has reached billion US dollars.

That year, Qiao Jinfan was only 30 years old.

He succeeded,

He completed the ambition he had made in the past, to expand the Qiao Group many times. Now the Qiao Group is expanding madly and terrifyingly, but he has lost his most beloved thing.

There was a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth.

A mouthful of blood sprayed on the transparent glass.

Secretary Li pushed the door open and saw what was happening. She ran over in shock and asked, "Boss Qiao, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Jinfan covered his abdomen.

There was sweat on his forehead, and he waved his hand gently: "I'm fine."

Secretary Li has been with him for many years.

She witnessed how Qiao Jinfan worked desperately, and couldn't help but feel distressed. Her voice was choked with sobs: "It's okay. Doctor Lu told you last time that you can't work so hard anymore! You worked so hard, and in the end..."

Secretary Li did not say the rest, but Qiao Jinfan understood.

No matter how hard he tried, he still lost Qiao Huan.

Yeah, why should he do that!

After going downstairs and getting into the car, Secretary Li told the driver to go to Lu's Hospital.

In the back seat, Qiao Jinfan covered his abdomen with his hands, his face pale.

The car was shaking, and he kept looking out the window without saying a word. When the car passed an amusement park, the Ferris wheel kept turning and the people on it screamed...

He suddenly thought of Seoul.

That year during the Spring Festival, he was also looking at the Ferris wheel on the streets of Seoul.

Qiao Huan avoided him.

A familiar sharp pain rose in his heart, and he murmured in a low voice: "She never came back, did she think I didn't love her? She married someone else, did she think I didn't love her? She refused to divorce, did she think I didn't love her?"

"Mr. Qiao."

Secretary Li didn't know how to answer.

But Qiao Jinfan didn't want her to answer. Perhaps what he really wanted to ask was about the woman he had let down...

He is too busy.

He was too selfish. He always felt that Qiao Huan was dependent on him. He asked her to paint to entertain her. Supporting the family and giving her a good life were his most important things.

He worked hard day and night.

It never occurred to him that this was not what she wanted.

Qiao Huan...

Whenever he thought of this name, he felt inexplicably heartbroken. She had become a disease in his heart that could never be cured. If she hadn't come back, perhaps his entire life would have been like this. He would have been content with a dull life of getting married and having children, but she came back.

She became Zhao Xuelan's wife.

……

Lu's Hospital.

In the examination room, Qiao Jinfan lay quietly.

On the side, Lu Yan was wearing a white coat and looking at the electronic screen intently. She has always been responsible for the health of the family members of the Lu and Qiao families. Lu Yan is the best surgeon in the country and the head of Lu's Hospital.

"Tsuho, turn your body slightly."

Lu Yan was talking.

The phone in the white coat rang. It was a WeChat message from her husband Cheng Yian, saying that he couldn't go home for dinner tonight...

Lu Yan looked at it for a while and put away his phone.

She knew that Cheng Yian had gone to see that woman again.

She had asked, but he always said that she was overthinking it and that he was just helping out out of friendship. He became impatient if she asked too much. Sometimes Lu Yan wondered whether she should continue this marriage.

After the inspection,

Qiao Jinfan stood up, holding his belly, and buttoned up his shirt one by one. After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Is Cheng Yian still not coming home much recently?"

Lu Yan nodded slightly, looking like he didn't want to talk more.

She picked up the CT film on the table and looked at it for a long time, her eyes fell on Qiao Jinfan's face: "Jinfan, your liver can't be ruined like this anymore, pay attention to maintenance... Remember to take the pills I prescribed."

“It’s not that precious.”

Qiao Jinfan didn't take it seriously. He put on his shoes and looked around -

Where is Secretary Li?
