tearful attack

At this time of year, there are very few people on the street, and most of the shops on the street are closed.Only the inside of the restaurant was still bustling, even busier than usual.

When Xia Qian pushed open the door of the box, Chu Lian had been sitting in it for an unknown how long, the room smelled of cigarettes, and she still had one in her mouth.

"Smoking so much?" Xia Qian sat across from her.

Chu Lian bit the cigarette butt in her mouth, she seemed very silent, her eyes were not focused, she was not at all as chic and bright as usual.

Xia Qian sighed, didn't say any more, just sat there and waited silently.

After a long while, the cigarette in Chu Lian's mouth was almost burned out. She finally took a breath, held the cigarette butt in her hand, and said to Xia Qian, "Let's get married."

Xia Qian's eyelids twitched violently.

After receiving the text message last night, he was already mentally prepared. He shouldn't be surprised to hear such a sentence at this time.

But Xia Qian still couldn't believe it, "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding." Chu Lian straightened up a little bit, put his arms on the table, expressionless, "I can't hold it anymore, I have no reason to procrastinate any longer. Anyway, we have played boyfriend and girlfriend now, let's play another one." What about husband and wife?"

"I didn't expect you to say such a thing." Xia Qian asked, "You give in so easily?"

"Then how long can I procrastinate? I'm already 29, and the Chu family can't let me procrastinate to [-]. It's always a matter of time." Chu Lian said, "Everyone thinks we are in love, but I If I insist on not getting married, my parents think I am sick. You don't know how much I have argued with my family during this time, I am really fed up."

Xia Qian was silent for a moment.

These are very realistic questions, and it's not that Xia Qian can't understand her thoughts.

"But I still don't understand." Xia Qian said, "Could it be that just these things can make you marry a man you don't like? I don't think you are such a woman."

Chu Lian smiled, mocking herself, "Otherwise? What else can I do? You and I both know that there is no point in procrastinating."

Yes, there is no point in procrastinating, and Xia Qian also agrees with this.

The two have spent a relatively comfortable period of time relying on such a cooperative relationship, but such a cooperation cannot go on forever.It's just a matter of time before they need to move out of that comfort zone.

"It's just a formal marriage." Chu Lian said again, "It's not very different from now."

"It's a big difference." Xia Qian frowned.

"What?" Chu Lian smiled, "As a man, are you actually more afraid of marriage than me?"

"I'm not afraid of marriage." Xia Qian said, "I look forward to getting married with the person I love."

"Look at the reality," Chu Lian tapped on the table, "I'm looking forward to what you said, but it's impossible."

Xia Qian said, "Then go fight."

"Struggle?" Chu Lian raised her eyebrows.

"It's easier for you to win than me, isn't it?" Xia Qian said, "At least you love someone of the opposite sex, and he is not without talent, he just needs a chance and enough time. Even if the Chu family doesn't like him, if You can't resist..."

"I won't fight." Chu Lian picked up the nearly burnt cigarette butt in his hand, and took another puff, "I don't want to follow my aunt's old path."

Xia Qian was suddenly blocked from speaking.

Xia Qian had heard the story of Aunt Chu Lian.She was also a lady of the Chu family back then, a very gentle and beautiful woman.

To put it simply, she fell in love with a poor boy more than 20 years ago, eloped with him, and gave birth to a child.But that man couldn't provide enough living security for his wife and children at all, so he could only run around to make money. As a result, he had an accident on the way off the night shift and died.Chu Lian's aunt had been having a bad time during that time, and she didn't even keep her own child. When the Chu family found her, she was already a little crazy.

"Being with the one you love... sounds really romantic, but who wants to take that risk? Anyway, I won't." Chu Lian stretched out his hand toward Xiaqian, "Let's get married, this is just a round It’s just a new cooperation. After we get married, we still play our own games, and no one affects the other. If I need offspring, I can go to have a baby with someone else, or I can have a test-tube baby with you. You can choose whichever you like, and it doesn’t matter at all. There is nothing to worry about."

She had thought so far, but Xia Qian just wanted to rub his forehead.

"Isn't my sincerity not enough?" Chu Lian said, "Our marriage has only advantages and no disadvantages."

Xia Qian shook his head, "I can't agree."

"Why?" Chu Lian asked, "It's just a formal marriage."

"Even if it's a formal marriage, it's impossible." Xia Qian sighed, "I already have someone I like."

"You can talk to him, you can ask for his understanding." Chu Lian said, "Maybe he can understand too?"

Xia Qian didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile.

It was impossible for him to talk to Wen Lin about this matter.Of course, it might be possible for Wen Lin to understand.Even, the more he imagined that scene, the more Xia Qian felt that Wen Lin would definitely understand.

Because Wen Lin is such a person, Wen Lin even once said, "As long as we can always be lovers, it will be fine".

If Xia Qian really went to ask him for this kind of understanding, Wen Lin would just grab Xia Qian's arm, bury his head on Xia Qian's neck, and say, "It's okay, I don't mind, if you can ask me, just ask me." Makes me very happy." Such words even comforted Xia Qian in turn.

But what will be the expression on that hidden face?As long as he imagined it a little bit, Xia Qian felt distressed.

"It is impossible for me to marry you." Xia Qian said, "No matter what."

Chu Lian withdrew her hand, her face was cold, "You really made up your mind? You should be very clear that once you refuse, our cooperation can only end here."

Xia Qian thought for a while in silence, then sighed, "That can't be helped."

"I will find another man and marry him under the choice of the Chu family." Chu Lian said, "And you will not have any good results. I promise, you will regret it."

"It's conceivable." Xia Qian rubbed his forehead, showing a little trouble, but he still didn't give in at all.

"You will really regret it." Chu Lian emphasized.

Did Xia Qian speak, and did not waver in the slightest.

Chu Lian's eyes darkened, and she finally chose to give up.Chu Lian got up, took her bag, and opened the door of the box.

Before leaving, Chu Lian turned around and said, "Don't blame me."

What does this sentence mean?Xia Qian leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply.

About an hour later, Xia Qian received a call from Mr. Xia.

"You bloody bastard!" There was another burst of angry curses on the other end of the phone, even a hundred times more angry than when the old man saw the photo of him and Wen Lin, "Why did you reject the girl of the Chu family!"

Xia Qian pursed his lips and did not speak.

Soon, the driver of Xia's family came again and picked up Xia Qian.

When Xia Qian arrived at the Xia family's old house, there were not only three people from the Xia family, but also three people from the Chu family.

Chu Lian was throwing herself into her mother's arms, her eyes were already red from crying.

"You bastard!" Mr. Xia was so angry that he smashed a vase, and wanted to whip Xia Qian with a whip, "Tell me, what is it about a girl like Miss Chu that makes you look down on her?" ! Why are you doing this to her!"

"Uncle Xia, don't be like this." Chu Lian cried and stopped in front of Mr. Xia, "It's just that we have no destiny, don't blame him..."

Xia Qian looked at Chu Lian's face full of tears, and lamented that this woman is really a showman.

And when Chu Lian cried like this, old man Xia was naturally furious, wishing he could beat Xia Qian to death on the spot.

The two elders of the Chu family over there sneered and said, "What's the use of beating someone? Old Xia, we are not here to see you beating your son, but just want an explanation. Lian'er and Xia Qian, originally everyone We are optimistic about a marriage. The reason why we have not set a wedding date is that we always thought it was Lianer's fault, and we blamed her many times. Now that we think about it, we have wronged our daughter. Who would have thought that Lianer was forced by us to take the initiative? Asked Xia Qian to propose marriage, but was rejected?"

Old Man Xia was trembling with rage, and finally recovered his breath. He sat on a chair and pointed at Xia Qian with a whip, "You'd better give an appropriate explanation."

All eyes were on Xia Qian, waiting to see what explanation he could come up with.

But how else could this be explained?Even if Xia Qian told the truth, no one would believe it.After all, no one has ever cared whether they really have feelings for each other, whether they really want to marry each other, all these people need is a marriage.

Chu Lian looked at Xia Qian, wondering if he would give in.At this moment, as long as Xia Qian succumbs and admits that it was just a moment of confusion before, there is still room for redemption.

Xia Qian stood there for a while, with only one sentence in his mind: What should come, will always come.

With a final sigh, he finally said the answer, "Because I have another love."
