He Xiaoting's face was filled with a doting smile. When he heard her words, he extended his big hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. His voice was so gentle that it made people want to drown in it "Yan 'er, you and Miss Qiao might have the same misunderstanding about men. Let me tell you, if a man really loves a woman, he won't mind, and he won't care about her past. Because everyone has a past, and so do I. "
"You didn't even ask about my past. If I only care about your past, that would be unfair to you, and it would also make me seem too stingy. "
"What's more... ... Since those things have already become the past, what's there to be conflicted about ? I only care about your present, and the future that I can give you. I don't care about anything else. As long as you're truly by my side, I'm already satisfied."
He Xiaoting rarely said such explicit words of love to her, especially when there was someone else present, and that person was not anyone else, but her best friend.
This kind of love speech that was similar to a confession made her feel somewhat at a loss. She didn't know how to face and respond to it, and she immediately tilted her head to avoid his somewhat deep gaze.
Her actions were a little big, and even she herself was shocked.
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly made her feel uncomfortable, and even breathing became difficult. Although she did not know where this feeling came from, and why this feeling appeared.
In short, she felt very uncomfortable, an indescribable discomfort.
In fact, if she counted carefully, most of the time when she was with him, she felt very comfortable and casual. There were not too many feelings of revulsion, and the way they interacted was like a frog being boiled in warm water.
There wouldn't be much excitement, nor would it be unforgettable.
But she thought that these were enough.
At least... ... She could calmly spend those long fleeting years ...
But unknowingly, there seemed to be some sudden changes, such as his feelings, and her... ... Heart ...
He Xiaoting didn't care about her reaction at all. He was still as calm and collected as before, and his voice was as gentle as water.. "What's wrong? You've learned to be shy in front of your good friend? It's okay. Miss Qiao and Mr. Ji are so in love, so they should be used to this kind of situation. Even if she has something to say, she wouldn't say it in front of us. "
Lin Yan didn't say anything, as if she didn't know what to say to ease the awkwardness or awkwardness at this moment.
Qiao man sat beside Lin Yan. Of course, she also felt that something was wrong with her body, so she reached out and patted her hand by her side. She spoke very gently, easing the subtle and even somewhat strange stagnant atmosphere at this moment "Why does it sound like Mr. he's words are deliberately said for me to hear! "
After he xiaoting heard it, he smiled softly. After a few seconds, he said meaningfully, "The more people hear a passionate confession, the more people will know my feelings for Yan 'er. I thought that women liked this way of expressing themselves. Could it be that I... Misunderstood? "
It was obviously a joke, but it could let people understand countless layers of meaning.
He Xiaoting did not know if he was telling her on purpose or if he wanted to announce something through her.
Qiao man blinked her eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Mr. he, that might not be true. "
"Oh? "
He Xiaoting raised his eyebrows and crossed his legs as if he was very interested in this topic. His tone became even more lazy. "Then, Miss Qiao, tell me about it. I'm all ears. "
Qiao man leaned forward slightly and looked at he xiaoting, whose back was deeply embedded in the back of the SOFA, through Lin Yan "The love world of a woman is actually far more complicated than Mr. he imagined. What they want may not necessarily be a passionate relationship, especially for a woman who has gone through a thousand sails. What they want may only be the passing of time and peace... ... complacent."
He Xiaoting seemed to understand her words, but he also seemed to not understand. He laughed in response and moved his hand that was tightly interlocked with Lin Yan's, his deep voice ringing in her ears "Yan 'er, it's getting late. I'll drive you and Miss Qiao out for a walk, and then we'll go for dinner, watch a movie, and go for a spin together, okay? "
Lin Yan nodded lightly. There was no extra emotion on her face, and she was still as gentle as ever. There were no fluctuations in her expression. "Okay! "
Then, she continued, "then... man man and I will go up to change our clothes. Why don't you wait downstairs for a little longer? "
"Alright, there's no rush. "
As soon as she finished speaking, he released his hand that was tightly clasped with hers.
Lin Yan regained her freedom and hurriedly pulled Qiao man's hand up the stairs.
After entering the cloakroom, she quickly turned around and locked the door. Then, she leaned against the door and patted her chest with her eyes closed. She looked as if she was still frightened and at a loss.
Qiao man imitated her actions and stood beside her. Then, she asked her in a very, very low voice, "Yan 'er, are you sure that you can marry he xiaoting with your current appearance? "
"I don't know, man man. "
"Yan 'er, you know. "
Qiao Man's voice was abnormally clear, like countless needles, crazily piercing into her heart "Your heart has already been stirred up by Fu Qingshan's crazy pursuit for more than a month, and you are even unable to extricate yourself. You simply can't have a heart as still as water, and you also can't have a heart as dead as ashes. Your heart should be clearer than anyone else that you can't forget Fu Qingshan, and you're just pretending to forget him. "
"But... man man, if he doesn't appear, I will marry he xiaoting without hesitation... "
Before Lin Yan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Qiao Man's gentle voice. "But he has appeared, Yan 'er. "
Qiao man looked at Lin Yan's fair and beautiful side profile and said earnestly, "you can't continue to deceive yourself like this. This is unfair to you, he xiaoting, and Fu Qingshan. "
"and... you won't be happy either. "
Qiao Man's voice slowly drifted into her ears without missing a single word "If you're not happy, then why must you force yourself to marry him "You have to put away your self-blame and guilt. The Lin family is no longer your responsibility. You still have your brother. He will definitely turn the Lin family into its original glory. This is only a matter of time. Do you understand? "
"Man man, there's no turning back for me. "
Lin Yan turned her head and looked back at her. "I pushed him away with my own hands. He... no longer belongs to me. "
In her impression, the main reason why she could be together with he xiaoting was because they were suitable.
They were of similar age and had similar family backgrounds. In the past, they were not always so innocent. When two people like this were together, there should not be too much conflict, and there would not be any love that could stir up the flames of love.
However, at this moment, she came to a sudden realization and also realized how wrong she was.
"Yan 'er, many things in relationships are actually things that the person in the middle is confused and the person watching is clear. Just like how I know that after this incident, Fu Qingshan might not love and be warm as you wish, and you would not marry he xiaoting with peace of mind. "
When she said this, she paused for a moment. After a few seconds, she continued, "Don't you realize that Fu Qingshan is especially hostile towards he xiaoting? "
Lin Yan continued to look at her, not saying a word, as if she was recalling something.
Seeing that she did not speak, Qiao man also clearly knew that with her current situation, her mind and heart were already in a state of chaos. Even if she had any clues, they were all drowned in the surging waves, unable to think of anything at all "A man holds such great hostility towards another man. Tell me, why is it? "
Lin Yan shook her head and chose not to say anything, even if something was already coming out of her mind.
Fu Qingshan had reminded her many times that he xiaoting did not love her, but if he thought that he xiaoting did not love her, why would he be so guarded and hostile?
He might have been using these words to mislead her, making her think that he xiaoting did not love her at all, making her think that her marriage with he xiaoting was just a relationship based on benefits.
There would be no love, and there would be no love.
But if that was really the case, there was no need for him to lie to her.
UNLESS... ...
He Xiaoting really loved her, so much so that Fu Qingshan started to panic, so much so that he had to use this special method to separate her from he xiaoting bit by bit.
Even if she was in so much pain that she wished she could die.
Qiao man took a deep breath, her voice still soft and gentle. "Yan 'er, I think you already understand, right? I don't need to say anything more, right? "
"Man Man, am I very stupid? "
"It's okay, I was even more stupid than you back then. " She reached out and hugged Lin Yan's thin and small shoulders, as if she was using her arms to give her warmth and strength. "Don't think too much, because all we can do now is to wait, and... wait and see. "
Since it was already a done deal, there was no other choice but to accept it.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. "Man man, I should have accepted my fate long ago, maybe I really don't have the fate to be with him... "
"Don't say that, Yan 'er, I know that your heart is hurting, no matter what, you have to remember one thing, that is you still have me. "
Lin Yan nodded her head gently. "Yes, it's alright, it's alright... I have you. "
After saying that, she did not say anything else. Qiao man also did not say anything else. In the entire cloakroom, she could only hear the sound of the wind whistling past the window.
After a long while, she finally suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart and said with a smile, "alright, there's no need to comfort me anymore. It's alright now. Let's change our clothes and go down. Otherwise, he xiaoting will lose his manners after waiting for too long. "
How could a man who did not dare to give his body and mind completely be married?
But now, it seemed like she had no choice but to marry.
This was her choice. Even if there were thorns in front of her, she had to walk step by step.
The two of them changed their clothes very quickly. After five minutes, they walked out of the cloakroom hand in hand.
He Xiaoting, who was sitting on the SOFA, heard the sound of footsteps coming from the spiral staircase. When he turned around to look, he saw two beautiful figures slowly walking down under the warm orange sunlight.
It had to be said that each of their beauty had its own characteristics and was unforgettable at a glance.
As expected of a socialite from the upper class of Lin city. Every move she made was soul-stirring and heart-stirring.
It made people want to sink into it, sink into it again... ...
He stood up from the SOFA and walked over with a few big steps. He extended one arm and welcomed the direction of the door. Then, he said in a gentlemanly and gentlemanly manner, "thank you for coming to our appointment. This way please. "
Lin Yan and Qiao man looked at each other and smiled. Then, they held hands and walked towards the door of the villa. He Xiaoting naturally followed behind the two of them. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but soon, he disappeared.
...
Lin Yan and Qiao man got into he xiaoting's car one after another and sat side by side in the back seat. He Xiaoting acted as the driver and sat in the main seat. There was almost no emotion on his handsome face No one could guess what he was thinking.
Very soon, the car started.
He stepped on the accelerator. In the next second, the car shot out like an Arrow and quickly drove out of the courtyard of Millan villa.
On the way, the two of them discussed for a while and decided to go to the nearby shopping mall to buy clothes first.
Qiao man came to Milan in a hurry and did not bring too many clothes to change into. Moreover, Milan was colder than she had imagined. She only brought a pink Alpaca coat. She was afraid that after wearing dirty clothes for the next two days, she would not have clean clothes to wear on Lin Yan's wedding day Therefore, she pulled Lin Yan to help her go to the shopping mall to pick out clothes.
In fact, other than this reason, she also had a very big selfish motive. She wanted Lin Yan to help her design the clothes to wear on her wedding day. After all, Lin Yan was now an important fashion designer in the fashion world Her sensitivity towards fashion and clothing was much higher than that of ordinary people. She did not want to lose face at her best friend's wedding.
She always felt that if she did not perform well, not only would she lose her face, but she would also lose Lin Yan's face. She would never allow such a thing to happen.
When they arrived at the shopping mall, he xiaoting automatically became the person carrying the bag.
Qiao man was naturally embarrassed to let him bring it up, but he said that this was the most basic quality and self-control of a man. It was what he should do. She could not refuse, so she could only let him bring it up.
Although Lin Yan was a little more at ease than Qiao man, she was still somewhat at a loss. After all, her contact with he xiaoting had always been limited to work and very limited personal interactions. It was also difficult for her to adapt to such a big leap all of a sudden.
However, she did not appear particularly restless. On the contrary, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, the more emotionless she appeared on the surface.
When they reached a brand store, Lin Yan pulled Qiao man in and matched her with more than ten sets of clothes.
When they were paying, he xiaoting naturally took out his money and swiped his card. Before Lin Yan could open her mouth to stop him, she heard Qiao man say, "Mr. He, I'm the one who bought the clothes, not Yan 'er. There's no reason for you to pay for me. Besides, Ji Yunshen still has the money to buy the clothes for me. There's no need for you to spend it. "
"You bought these clothes to attend my wedding with Yan 'er. Moreover, there's not much money. You don't have to feel uneasy or guilty. "
After saying that, he directly handed the Gold Card in his hand to the cashier and said with a smile, "use this card, thank you. "
Qiao man still wanted to say something, but he xiaoting waved his hand very gently, stopping her from saying anything else "If Miss Qiao really feels bad, you can treat me and Yan 'Er to dinner later. Aren't friends always like this? How can they differentiate so clearly? Do you think I'm right? "
He Xiaoting clearly showed an extremely strong possessiveness, as if he had really treated Lin Yan as his wife, as if she was his... ... Intimate Lover . .
Lin Yan stood at Qiao Man's side, drooping hands clenched into fists, countless emotions in the heart rolling, but no words can refute.
There is a kind of mute eating Coptis, there is a bitter unspeakable feeling.
After the cashier finished operating on the POS machine, he respectfully said, "sir, please enter your password. "
He Xiaoting nodded and was about to lower his head to enter the password when a deep voice stopped him "Mr. He, the total cost of these clothes is roughly estimated to be more than one million RMB. No matter how good a friend is, there is no reason to spend more than one million RMB! "
The tall and straight man walked against the countless lights and shadows and walked to Qiao Man's side. He stretched out his slender iron arms and hugged her tightly in his arms. "Are you feeling unwell? "
Qiao man shook her head and whispered, "No. "
Ji Yunshen then retracted his gaze from her face and looked at he xiaoting opposite him. His voice was Languid, but there was no warmth in it. He continued what he had just said "Besides... I can't even afford this little bit of money for my woman to buy clothes. Mr. He, do you think... am I right? ''
He used the words he had just said to ask him, but he was speechless. Qiao man was Ji Yunshen's woman. Even if other people wanted to get close to her, they would have to see if he was willing to accept it.
Obviously, he was not willing to accept it.
He Xiaoting still smiled gently. Then, he turned around and looked in the direction of Ji Yunshen and Qiao man. "Mr. Ji's possessiveness is even scarier than I thought. Since Mr. Ji doesn't like it, then I have no reason to embarrass myself... "
As he said that, he turned around and took back his bank card.
Ji Yunshen's chiseled face also had a faint smile. Seeing that he had stepped away from the checkout counter, he walked over with his long legs and took out a black card from his wallet. He handed it to the cashier and said, "The clothes that this lady chose just now, one color each, just swipe this card. "
Qiao man frowned, walked over and tugged at the Hem of Ji Yunshen's suit. "Ji Yunshen, there are so many clothes, I can't wear them. Besides... I'm pregnant, I might not be able to wear them after a while... "
The man reached out to hold the woman's small hand and said in a low voice, "it's okay, I'll put them in your closet. Just treat it as a souvenir for the wedding in Milan. "
He Xiaoting stood to the side like an outsider. He did not show any unnecessary emotions, completely staying out of it.
After leaving the brand shop, Qiao Man's clothes and bags naturally fell on Ji Yunshen and the bodyguard behind him.
As for Lin Yan's handbag and clothes bag, he xiaoting carried them for her.
Qiao man always felt that after Ji Yunshen appeared, his aura became even more strange.
After walking a few steps, Qiao man looked at the back of Lin Yan and he xiaoting, who were walking in front of her. She deliberately slowed down her footsteps and whispered into Ji Yunshen's ear, "Ji Yunshen, did something happen? " "Ji Yunshen, you left in a hurry after answering the phone last night. It was Fu Qingshan... did something happen? "
Ji Yunshen did not say anything and continued to hold her as they walked forward.
"Also, how did you know I was here? Did you send someone to follow me? "
Ji Yunshen glanced at her indifferently and said in a gentle tone, "what exactly do you want to ask? "
"that... "
"which one? "
Qiao man frowned and stretched out her hand to pound on his arm. Before she could say anything, she saw the man next to her change his expression and groaned in pain.
It was as if her beating had touched his wound, even though he was completely unharmed when they were separated.
But at this moment, she clearly realized that he might be injured.
She hurriedly went to pull the cashmere coat on him, but it was tightly held in his arms by his iron arms. "shh, don't talk, or the truth will be exposed. "
"What's the matter? "
Ji Yunshen lowered his head, his thin lips close to her ear. "I'll tell you later. "
Qiao man could only suppress her curiosity, and then asked in a low voice, "how's your wound? "
"It's fine. "
Even though Qiao man really wanted to check the wound on his arm, or rather, to check all the wounds on his body, she could only pretend that nothing had happened because he xiaoting and Lin Yan were there.
After shopping for a while, he xiaoting suggested to have dinner.
Qiao Man's taste had become very picky after she was pregnant. She could not eat normal food, so the other three people accommodated her diet and let her decide where to have dinner.
She thought hard for more than ten seconds before saying that she wanted to eat Korean cuisine.
He Xiaoting knew that there was a Korean restaurant nearby that made good Korean cuisine, so he said that he wanted to eat there. Lin Yan nodded, indicating that she did not have any objections, and he xiaoting and Ji Yunshen also did not have any objections.
The four of them left the shopping mall and each took a bus to the Korean restaurant three streets away.
When they reached the restaurant, he xiaoting directly asked for a private room, and the four of them walked into the private room one after the other.
He Xiaoting first put the bags and shopping bags in his hands on the dining table, then he turned around to help take off Lin Yan's Alpaca coat and hung it on the clothes rack behind the door in a gentlemanly manner.
Qiao man bit her lip and looked at Ji Yunshen's expression. He was still as indifferent as ever, and no emotions could be seen at all. It was as if he did not care at all about he xiaoting poaching Fu Qingshan.
Ji Yunshen was also waiting for her to take off her coat and hang it on the clothes rack. He then took off his coat and hung it up. He quickly walked over and helped her sit on the dining chair.
He Xiaoting handed over the menu and said to Qiao Man, "guests are guests, especially Miss Qiao who is pregnant. I'll leave the ordering of dishes to you. Yan 'Er and I don't have much to avoid, so you don't have to worry about us. Just do as you please. "
Qiao man thanked him and looked at Lin Yan beside her. She then lowered her head to look at the menu. A few seconds later, she randomly ordered a few things and let Ji Yunshen order the rest.
After ordering, he xiaoting and Ji Yunshen began to chat. First, they talked about the domestic and foreign financial economy, then they talked about business investments, and finally, the details of the wedding.
