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

Just at this moment, Meng Yan came in and took Qiao Yan away, leaving only Qiao Jinfan and his wife in the huge master bedroom.

Chen Anan was still standing there.

Qiao Jinfan took a bathrobe and took a shower. When he came out, Chen Anan was already lying on the bed. Perhaps to avoid him, she curled up tightly in the quilt... with her back to him.

Qiao Jinfan was lying aside.

He stretched out his arm and pulled the bedside lamp, which went out immediately. The bedroom fell into darkness. The darkness magnified the senses several times. Chen Anan could clearly feel her husband's warm breath brushing against the back of her neck. Where his breath passed, her delicate skin became covered with tiny particles and was extremely sensitive.

After a while, her husband's voice sounded behind her.

"What do you think about Yanyan's matter?"

"Do you think we should let them be together? If they love each other."

……

Chen Anan was silent for a long time, then asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Qiao Jinfan did not answer.

After a while, the warm breath behind his neck lingered, and Qiao Jinfan lay flat on his back looking at the night. His mind was full of the image of his wife walking side by side with Qi Jing. He asked Chen Anan if she liked Qi Jing, and she did not admit it but did not deny it either.

But there is always a good feeling.

At least not annoying!

Qiao Jinfan couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He clearly knew that he was not in love with his wife, but he was particularly concerned about her allowing other men to appear in her life, even if they only communicated at work...

sleepless nights.

Early in the morning, there was movement in Joan's villa.

Qiao Yan was sent away.

She didn't want to go to Italy, but Qiao Shiyan had made up his mind. He personally took a special plane to send Qiao Yan to Italy. Meng Yan and Qiao Jinfan also went, but Qiao Jinfan came back the same day. Qiao Shiyan and his wife would stay in Italy for a while and take care of the pregnant Qiao Huan.

Qiao Jinfan flew back from Italy just in the evening.

The door of the black RV opened, and Qiao Jinfan got out of the car. A servant came forward and took the luggage from his hand: "Madam just came back."

Qiao Jinfan had something on his mind and nodded lightly.

He carried his luggage up to the second floor. Chen Anan was not in the bedroom. He looked around and came to her embroidery room. She was still embroidering the "Tang Dynasty Hibiscus" and her eyebrows were like a painting when she lowered her head.

There was an invitation lying flat on the table next to it.

Qiao Jinfan picked it up and saw that it was an invitation from the school office for Qi Jing's farewell party, which would be held at a western restaurant next to the school.

He raised his eyes to look at his wife: "Do you want to go?"

Chen Anan paused her sewing for a moment, but she didn't look up and just said softly, "No. It's not to avoid suspicion, but I know you don't want me to go, so why should I make our lives unhappy?"

She didn't explain this matter from beginning to end.

She didn't ask Qiao Jinfan to explain either.

She only felt sorry for Qi Jing, and her way of making up for it was to stay away from Qi Jing. She didn't want Qi Jing to be implicated because of her again.

Chen Anan continued embroidering.

Every stitch was steady, yet dull and repetitive, just like her marriage to Qiao Jinfan, repeating itself day after day.

Qiao Jinfan looked at her calm demeanor, frowning slightly. He was about to say something when a servant knocked on the door: "Sir, there is a Mr. Qin who wants to see you."

The last name is Qin, Qin Zui...

Qiao Jinfan looked outside.

After a while, he said calmly: "Please ask Mr. Qin to go to the study and wait for me."

……

Ten minutes later, Qiao Jinfan met Qin Zui in the study.

That is a very outstanding young man!

He has outstanding appearance and good conversation.

His sister has good taste.

However, the family behind Qin Zui destined this relationship to be unacceptable to the Qiao family. Although Qiao Yan was so favored at home, Qiao Shiyan still cruelly locked her in the bedroom and confiscated her cell phone, so she had no way to contact Qin Zui.

Qiao Jinfan was wearing a snow-white shirt, looking dignified and handsome.

He held a snow-white cigarette between his slender fingers, and let the light blue smoke linger around him. There was no expression on his face at all. He never had a good impression of teachers!

Qiao Jinfan spoke calmly——

"Mr. Qin, I won't hide anything. My father doesn't agree with what you are doing. Qiao Yan has gone abroad. She won't come back within two or three years, and you probably won't have the chance to buy a plane ticket."

"I have no objection to your business."

"But you and Qiao Yan are really not suitable. Insisting on will only ruin your reputation... So why bother! I heard that your family is a wealthy family over there. It's not worth it for you to give up your family's resources for Qiao Yan... Break up. It's good for both of you. Insisting on is just a waste of time."

……

After a long silence.

Qin Zui asked, "Mr. Qiao, in your view of love, do all relationships have to be measured by interests? A perfect marriage is one that meets economic value... Is that what you mean?"

Qiao Jinfan's eyes were deep, as if they could swallow everything.

Qin Zui smiled faintly: "I think Mr. Qiao's marriage must be unhappy."

Qin Zui left after saying this.

He did not ask Qiao Jinfan for help, he just tried his best to find out Qiao Yan's whereabouts. Later, he learned that she was in Italy, so he wanted to buy a plane ticket to find her, but as Qiao Jinfan said, he was restricted from leaving the country.

Qin Zui did not return to his hometown to inherit the position of patriarch.

He stayed in city B and founded a technology company. It was difficult at the beginning, but he persisted. He didn't know whether he was waiting for someone, whether he was insisting on something, whether he still loved her or hated her.

Perhaps, only the dreams in the middle of the night can tell him the answer.

……

Qin Zui's words influenced Qiao Jinfan.

Qin Zui said, "I think Mr. Qiao's marriage must be unhappy."

Qiao Jinfan didn’t know what happiness was, but he knew that his marriage with Chen Anan had reached a dead end. It wasn’t actually that bad, but there was definitely not any sweetness at all.

Two months after Chen Anan had a miscarriage, they had sex.

At first she wanted to take medicine, but Qiao Jinfan stopped her.

She was not suitable for pregnancy within six months, so he took the initiative to take measures. Whenever they had sex, she always lay softly on the bed and let him take possession of her, but she rarely responded to him. Even when they were passionate, she would at most put her little face in his sweaty neck...

Apart from the time in bed, they rarely communicated.

This marriage is full of holes, but there is not actually much damage, but it is just very tiring. Perhaps it is because there is no love that it seems difficult and is destined to separate. It is just a matter of time.

In late summer.

Qiao Huan gave birth to a baby boy in Italy.

Qiao Shiyan's whole family went to visit.

Chen Anan had to attend a major exhibition in China, so she had to schedule her trip for three days later...

The night before leaving, Qiao Jinfan sat on the sofa while Chen Anan packed his luggage in the cloakroom.
