you may never have loved me

In the evening—the family enjoys the shade on the terrace.

Qu Ling was chatting with Qu's father about the company, while Qu's mother was chatting with her little sister, Qu Ling took pity on the fried pine nuts that Mrs. Pan Wang had prepared for him, and squatted aside to eat snacks in obscurity.

At such times, he felt that it was good to have a partner by his side.

Whether it's Yan Li, who has lost his fans, or Gu Shen, who uses him as a stand-in to make love casually, they are all willing to help him peel the pine nuts, lest he do it himself.

Qu Ling chatted about the recent international contract with great interest, then suddenly turned to look at Qu Lingxi, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Hey, how are you and Guan Yu doing?"

Qu Lingxi stopped gnawing on the pine nuts, looked at Qu Ling innocently, and said aggrievedly, "What can I do? Just like that."

Qu Ling asked: "Exchange contact information? Have a dinner date? Do you have feelings for him?"

Qu Lingxi: "..."

As for urging the marriage, it was her sister who was urging her.

Qu Lingxi replied without desire or desire: "Ang."

Qu Ling said with satisfaction: "You are acquiescing."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qu Lingxi was annoyed by Qu Ling's questions, thinking that she must have asked Guan Yu on purpose, and the result would not be the same, so why bother to find another place with him.

He carefully moved the rocking chair, moved to Qu Ling's side, and said in a low voice, "Hey, I mean you. You are afraid of getting married yourself, why do you want to pull me out?"

Qu Ling rubbed her shoulders uncomfortably, and turned her eyes away: "Where am I afraid of marriage?"

Qu Lingxi blinked: "Then why did Brother Xu Ji tell you so many times that you didn't agree to his marriage proposal?"

"Because Xu Ji's conditions are too ordinary." Qu Ling chuckled, dodging Qu Ling's scorching eyes, and lowered her head to glance at the new manicure that she took time to do today. The gorgeous diamonds are shining brightly under the reflection of the light .

Before she had time to remove her makeup, her mascara was faintly smudged, and her lip makeup was also dimmed.

Qu Lingxi somehow felt that Qu Ling was a bit pitiful.Obviously, the one worthy of sympathy should be Xu Ji who had failed to propose marriage many times and was hanged by Qu Ling for many years.

"Hey." Qu Ling said, she turned her eyes to try to change the subject, "If only my boyfriend was as handsome as Cherish's general manager, and so rich and attractive."

After she finished speaking, she clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.

Qu Lingxi was very surprised, and felt that Qu Ling was very dissatisfied.

He scolded in a low voice: "Come on, Brother Xu Ji is not handsome yet."

Qu Ling was speechless for a few minutes, "Him?"

"He's not as good as Guan Yu."

Qu Lingxi silently lamented for Xu Ji in her heart.

"Let's put it this way, on a ten-point scale. If the brand manager gets nine points, then Xu Ji gets two points."

Qu Ling probably really praised the chief executive, and was very willing to praise him with all kinds of compliments, so much so that Qu Lingxi didn't even bother to listen.

Qu Lingxi: "Stop."

He complained: "Don't brag, my ears are going to callus."

Qu Ling was hit by his younger brother, and suddenly felt very bored, stretched, and wanted to go back to the room to rest.

Unexpectedly, Father Qu, who was so absorbed in reading the newspaper and keeping his ears closed to what was going on outside the window, suddenly took off his glasses and said, "Are you talking about the one who is talking about cooperation today?"

Qu Lingxi rubbed her ears: "Yes."

"Then what your sister said is not an exaggeration at all." Qu's father patted Qu Lingxi's shoulder lightly, thinking of today's scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed a young talent."

Father Qu added: "It's still a gentleman. Our small company is lucky to be seen by the T family. Your sister and I are waiting for the other party to show off. Guess what? Not only did they not give us any favors You are very polite, and the contract is more profitable. I have read it to the legal counsel several times, and they all said that there is no trap, which is really rare in the business world."

Qu Lingxi understood Qu's father's words.

He smiled like a melon-eating crowd: "According to what you say, this is not a cooperation, it is just giving you money by taking advantage of it."

Qu Lingxi thought she was joking.

In the end, his father agreed with a serious face: "That's the truth, that's right."

Qu Lingxi: "..."

Qu Ling went back to her room to remove her make-up, put on a mask and ran over specially, pointed at Qu Lingxi's nose and said sternly: "The official ribbon-cutting of the mall will be at the beginning of next month, and there will be a dinner after that, and hundreds of lists have been drawn up for the circle. As the son of our Qu family and the holder of Xilin shares, you are not allowed to refuse me to attend the annual meeting like last time."

Qu Lingxi shrugged, "Got it. It's not the first time I've participated in this kind of event, so I won't lose face to you."

Anyway, when we arrived, we just ate and drank like before, chatted with former rich second-generation friends, and had a buffet, which was also very beautiful.

"Little Xi is going too?" Mother Qu finally broke away from the conversation with her little sister after hearing the words, she stared at Qu Lingxi and said, "When your sister told me that you would go too, I didn't believe it. Like this That's great, don't wear the two suits from last year, you keep wearing those two suits back and forth, and you won't get tired of wearing them."

When she mentioned this topic, she was full of interest: "That's it, I'll find someone to order two suits for you in two days. It's best to complement our Xiaoxi and surprise everyone, and the audience is the most handsome. Is this okay?"

"Pull it down." Qu Ling touched the mask on her face, "Last year was fine, but this year, with Cherish here, you can't be sexy."

Qu Lingxi has no rebellion against similar words.

It was Qu's mother who turned to their previous topic, and she asked with a confused face: "Is there really a boy in this world who is more beautiful than our Xiaoxi?"

"..." Qu Lingxi said speechlessly, "Mom, don't be like this, you'll kill me with praise."

"That's not true." Qu Ling laughed when she thought about it, "They are all in their 30s, and the benchmark is not comparable to Xiaoxi."

When it was late at night, the family members went back to their rooms.

Qu Lingxi also returned to her room.He was brewing drowsiness but couldn't fall asleep. This kind of insomnia was not accidental.

The fact is that since he broke up, he has never had a good night's sleep. Even if he fell asleep, he would be easily awakened from the palpitations of dreams. When he woke up, it was only three or four o'clock.Similar situations happened frequently, which made him even try to eat some sleep aid drinks for this reason.

It's a pity that no medicine is effective after all, and Qu Lingxi dared not try medicine, so he had to wake up and sleep like this, which has lasted for more than a week.

However, this week, Gu Shen really didn't look for him again.

Qu Lingxi understands in her heart that only when she loves someone in essence, will she keep begging for redemption after breaking up.If they don't love each other, Gu Shen won't come to him to ask for reunion, no matter which party takes the initiative to break up.

As in the novel, when you leave, the other party will chase you again, just living in the story.

Reality is reality, and no one can live without someone.

Maybe now Gu Shen has brought Su Fei back to country B, and fulfilled the promise of Liangcheng year after year.

But these are not for his Qu Lingxi, but for the Bai Yueguang in Gu Shen's heart.

After all, he became a supporting role without knowing it.

On the weekend, Qu's mother called Qu Lingxi over to tailor her clothes.The designer who ordered the dinner suit for Qu Lingxi was a long-term cooperating designer with the Qu family.

After being forced to work as a tool person several times, Qu Lingxi also got to know the designer very well, and the two would have dinner in private.Assistant A carefully measured the size of Qu Ling, and Assistant B was responsible for recording it.

The designer sits on a soft sofa drinking coffee and flipping through magazines.

Every time a size is measured, Assistant A will report it.

"Waist circumference." Assistant A said, "64."

Hearing this, the designer raised his eyebrows, stared at Qu Lingxi and said, "You have lost a lot of weight this time. No wonder the sample clothes I tried on you just now are the same size as before, but this time they are much empty."

Qu Lingxi himself didn't think so, he turned around and asked his assistant to hold his back.

He turned to look at the designer: "We ordinary people are not as strict as you. Let alone the clothes from the first half of this year, I can still wear the clothes from last year. No one else can see that I have lost weight."

"The waist and bust are three centimeters shorter... the thighs and arms are [-] centimeters shorter, and the rest remains unchanged." The designer repeated all the results of the previous measurement with a blank face, and he paused, "Oh, It's not all the same, but the hips have increased a little. Are you doing hip-lifting exercises to lose weight?"

Qu Lingxi was ashamed by the words, her face and neck turned red.

"So, our young master Qu." The designer's sensitive professional tentacles came online, he looked up and down Qu Lingxi-fan, his eyes curled up, "You are in love..."

Qu Lingxi didn't have time to deny it in a panic.

The other party shook his head again and said, "It must have been a sudden breakup during the passionate love period."

The air froze for a while.

Qu Lingxi didn't intend to keep pretending to be stupid, he scratched his hair irritably: "Did I really write the word broken love on my face? Is it so obvious?"

"That's not true." The designer smiled. "You manage your expressions pretty well. The main reason is that you are in the middle of the night. What kind of bitter love songs are you posting in your Moments. Idiots can't see that you have a problem."

"Yes." Qu Lingxi sighed, thinking that fortunately, Moments had already blocked his parents, otherwise the two of them would really ask him during the day why he didn't sleep at three o'clock in the morning and nervously reposted songs, and he really couldn't answer reason.

He sat down, lowered his head, and deleted the two reposted songs.

"Don't." The designer said, "Your two songs are quite nice, I've never heard them before. Master Qu really has taste."

This person is used to talking poorly, Qu Lingxi didn't bother to talk to him, so he said it casually.

"However, if you hadn't lost weight recently." The designer touched his chin, "I thought you were going on a date later."

Qu Lingxi took it for granted, "I'm going on a date later."

"Oh?" the designer laughed and said, "Going on a date with someone else just after falling out of love?"

"That's right." Qu Lingxi retorted eloquently, "What's wrong?"

"No," said the designer, "You're doing the right thing. We all know that the best way to get over an ex is to fall into your next relationship."

Guan Yu sent him a message, saying that the doll at home had a sudden illness last night, and he was in the pet hospital, far away from the photography exhibition, so he might come later.

Qu Lingxi thoughtfully replied: "Okay."

He also sent a meow emoticon package.

Qu Lingxi curled her lips: "Don't make me sound like a scumbag who takes advantage of others. I am serious about every relationship."

"It's quite serious." The designer said, "The Japanese boyfriend style you are wearing today is obviously deliberately worn, and you didn't wear it like that before. So, let me guess, you and that one Where's the rendezvous... um, the art gallery?"

"No." Qu Lingxi squinted her eyes, "But it's almost there."
