บท 10: Chapter 10 Chu Nantian elopes with her_1
After Qiao Xiaon'an took off her white suit jacket, she held it in her hand, enjoying the comfortable feel of its fabric. She unintentionally glanced at the label inside the collar--Valentino. What brand was that? Qiao Xiaon'an, being such a bumpkin with a monthly wage of only a few thousand yuan, had no idea about luxury brands.
Although her ex-boyfriend, Chu Nantian, is the young master of Tongyu Group, she never accepted any valuable gifts from him while they were dating.
The suit's brand, Valentino, is a famous Italian luxury clothing brand. As her colleague had mentioned earlier, a single piece does indeed cost a few tens of thousands yuan.
However, Qiao Xiaon'an, who dislikes luxury items and has no interest in fame, wealth, or showing off for comparison, is oblivious to this.
Five minutes before getting off work, Qiao Xiaon'an turned on her mobile phone. Since it was almost time to knock off, even if her mother called again, she wouldn't disrupt her work. She didn't expect to receive a call from Yun Mo just after switching on her phone. Although she was reluctant, she still answered the call.
The voice from the other end was still cold as it asked, "Are you getting off work soon?"
Qiao Xiaon'an was idly fiddling with a fragment of a sparrow's palm sitting on her table. Her favorite potted plants had been torn to such a state that she had to go buy some new ones from the flower shop, lest the atmosphere in front of her desk be too stifling, "Hmm."
Yun Mo said, "When you get off, call me."
Qiao Xiaon'an asked, "What for?"
Yun Mo," Just remember to call me."
Qiao Xiaon'an: "Hello, hello..."
What's his deal, hanging up just like that. Why does she need to call him?
Does it mean she needs to listen to him after they are married?
Just as Qiao Xiaon'an was feeling bewildered, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind her. Although she couldn't see it, the other employees in the human resources department were surprised at his arrival. Unexpectedly, Chu Nantian, who had broken up with Qiao Xiaon'an months ago, was visiting her on his first day back in the country, accompanied by Yuan Yifan, the future mistress of the Chu family.
Could it be that Chu Nantian still had lingering feelings for Qiao Xiaon'an?
Qiao Xiaon'an picked up the sparrow's palm and had a look at it. She found that it didn't look so bad, even though half of its leaves had been torn off by her. She would just need to take good care of it, but still, she planned to bring another potted plant to the office the next day.
"An'an!"
Such a familiar voice, smooth as jade.
It's Chu Nantian, only Chu Nantian would call her An'an.
Why is he here? Qiao Xiaon'an's hand, which was resting on the sparrow's palm, trembled slightly. She had just intended to brush away a rotten leaf, but due to Chu Nantian's soft call, she suddenly forgot what she was doing. She took a glance at her colleagues, all of them were wearing expressions of surprise. Apparently, they had spotted Chu Nantian before she did.
Perhaps, she was still holding a grudge against Chu Nantian's betrayal, she didn't answer him. After putting the sparrow's palm back in place and tidying up a few documents on her desk, the time was 5:57 PM, she would check out and ignore Chu Nantain in three minutes.
Nantian, can I speak to you in my office?" After more than five months of not seeing Qiao Xiaon'an, Chu Nantian initially thought he was beginning to let go of her, but upon glimpsing her petite figure, waves of longing surged in his heart, causing a lump to form in his throat. His hand, which usually rested on his side, wanted to lift and stroke her head as he used to do, but ultimately he couldn't lift it. His fingers curled into a tight fist instead, and his voice became filled with guilt. "I want to talk to you."
Qiao Xiaon'an did not turn around. Still facing away from Chu Nantian, she locked her drawer, ready to go home, "We have nothing to discuss."
At this moment, Chu Nantian looked at the employees of the HR department, "You can all go home." Everyone immediately shut down their computers and left.
Resigned to not being able to escape, Qiao Xiaon'an stood up and turned to face Chu Nantian, "Mr. Chu, long time no see."
As always, she gave him a sweet smile, but unlike five months ago, this one did not come from the heart. It was no longer filled with love for him, but stiffness instead. However, her deep dimples still showed whenever she smiled, giving her immense beauty. Seeing her smile, Chu Nantian felt a heartache.
Chu Nantian: "You didn't use to call me that."
Qiao Xiaon'an: "Alright, as you wish, Chu Nantian, get to the point."
Chu Nantian: "..."
Qiao Xiaon'an: "Not saying anything? Then I'll head out."
Grabbing her bag from the table, she slung it over her shoulder, and stepped away. Just as she was about to pass him, he grabbed her left arm tightly. At that moment, Qiao Xiaon'an's heart fluttered. A cold smile emerged on her face, her deep dimples appearing once again, "Chu Nantian, aren't you worried about future mistress of the Chu family, seeing this?"
Chu Nantian still didn't let go. His palm and knuckles had lost some grip, "An'an, I was really drunk that night. I mistook Yuan Yifan for you. I still love you."
Qiao Xiaon'an shook off Chu Nantian's hand, "You're about to get engaged now and still explaining this to me. Your future wife, Yuan Yifan, will be upset if she heard this. Whether you were drunk or not, since you slept with her, you have to take responsibility."
Chu Nantian: "An'an..."
Qiao Xiaon'an: "Enough, I don't have time to chat with you."
Chu Nantian: "An'an, won't you give me your blessings?"
Qiao Xiaon'an: "Ha! Chu Nantian, have you ever heard the saying 'Your well-being is my thunderbolt'? I'll only wish you and Yuan Yifan well when pigs start to climb trees."
Maybe Chu Nantian misunderstood Qiao Xiaon'an's words, thinking that her reluctance to wish him and Yuan Yifan well meant she still loved him, and couldn't let him go. He stretched out his arm, gripped her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms. The familiar scent rushed to his nose that his longing became a surge, holding onto her tightly, "An'an, let's elope. No matter if my parents object or try to stop us, I will take you away from here, and we can start over..."
Qiao Xiaon'an felt disgusted by this embrace which once made her feel secure. Both her palms shoved him away, "Chu Nantian, enough, I will never get back with you..."
"Why?"
"There's no why."
"But you once said, if I suggested eloping, you would follow me without hesitation."
"That was before..."
Chu Nantian wasn't willing to give up - it was just a drunken mistake, and he had slept with the wrong person. He still loved An'an as always. Why couldn't they return to their past? He desperately tried to hug Qiao Xiaon'an, but this time, she wasn't easy to hug. She dodged, retreating to the corner against the office desk.
He had intended to escape, but then he leaned in and kissed her forcefully.
She bit him. Her teeth had never been this sharp as she pushed him away. At the same time, he immovably held her by her arms.
Even as the taste of blood spread between their lips, Chu Nantian didn't let go.
But the next second, Qiao Xiaon'an, who couldn't stand his embrace and nauseating kiss, lifted her right foot and hit him with her solid kneecap. Then, she finally got him to back off, retreating awkwardly. It seemed that he undoubtedly got hurt there. During college, it was her savagery that deeply moved him, and now, she had become even more wild.
"Chu Nantian, I'm married, I'm married..."
