Chapter 284 Finale

Qiao Susu listened to all the men's careful instructions and various worrying statements on the first floor, and they let her go after more than an hour.

She hurried upstairs to comfort him.

'Knock knock'.

There was a cautious knock on the door.

Zong Fang just came to his senses and realized that he had been sitting on the sofa for who knows how long.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a small head appeared in the doorway.

He saw the person coming, turned his eyes away indifferently, stood up and walked to the laboratory table to use tweezers to clean the glass fragments on his palm.

At this moment, the glass shards have embedded into the flesh and the blood has solidified on the hands.

He felt someone behind him approaching slowly, hesitating and not saying anything.

The man ignored her and looked down at his hands, but suddenly forgot what he was about to do.

"Munekata."

A weak voice sounded, and Munakata held the tweezers in his hand, his back facing her, his jaw tense.

Qiao Susu hugged his waist from behind, and seeing that he didn't react, she tightened her grip a little.

"Are you angry?"

The man still didn't speak.

Qiao Susu's hands began to restlessly pinch him, sometimes poking his hard abdominal muscles, sometimes touching his strong chest muscles.

Zong Fang grabbed her dishonest hand, his chest heaving, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's fun, right? You come when you want, and leave when you want. You think you are very cool, right?"

He pulled her arms apart, grabbed her by the back of the neck, dragged her to the mirror, and forced her head to look at it.

The cold scalpel was in his hand at some point, and it was now pressed against her cheek.

There was a cold look in Zongfang's narrow eyes.

"Want to go out? Sure, let me shave your face first, so no other man will have any improper thoughts about you!"

Qiao Suisui knew he wouldn't really do that. They had been through so much together, and no one understood his weaknesses better than her.

But she didn't say anything, she just gently placed her hand on the back of the man's hand, raised her face slightly, and responded to his movements.

The sharp blade was about to cut her skin, and Zongfang's hand trembled, and he immediately moved the scalpel away a little.

"you"

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but could do nothing about it.

Qiao Susu turned around, hugged his neck, and kissed his white neck again and again.

"I have to have my own things to do. I can't just sit here and let you pamper me, eating and drinking. It's comfortable in the short term, but over time, people will become numb."

Zongfang was silent, and the mirror reflected his slightly relaxed expression.

"Besides, isn't it better now than before when I never came back? This is a disguised way of being together forever."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, the man's hand unconsciously wrapped around her waist, his eyes lowered, and the tip of his nose turned slightly red.

"But I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a second."

Qiao Suisui smiled and pecked his lips hard. "I don't want to either. When my business fails, I'll come back and be a hermit crab, lying on you every day and never work again."

Zong Fang was amused by her words, and the coldness around him gradually melted away. He said, "Don't wait for failure, you can do it anytime you want." Then he added, "Don't worry about failure, just do your best. No matter what the result is, it will be a reward. And I will always be your retreat."

The two looked at each other and smiled slowly.

Zong Fang hugged her waist tightly with both hands and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Qiao Qiao, I love you."

Time flies and more than half a month has passed.

After returning to the mainland, Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi have been splitting one day into two days for the past half month. They wish they had three heads and six arms.

They registered their own company, initially using the living room of Qiao Sui Sui's rented apartment as their office. Lin Xixi would occasionally lend a hand. They would pull all-nighters working on their roadshow presentations, preparing projects, applying for game licenses, and so on. Sometimes Ye Xi wouldn't even go home, sleeping on the living room sofa.

This lasted two weeks, and then she asked Guan Weizhi to help organize a party. After a few meals, Ye Xi had developed a good alcohol tolerance. Qiao Suisui was not the type to be pretentious and refuse. Since she had decided to do this, she accepted many of the industry's rules. However, whenever Guan Weizhi was around, she never gave him a chance to drink.

Fortunately, after a lot of hard work, the angel investment from Zhonghe Fund arrived.

The two of them looked for a cost-effective office building and spent half a month setting up the studio, recruiting people, and forming a team of 20 people.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

Ye Xi focused on technology and product research, while Qiao Sui Sui was in charge of human resources, operations, publicity, and sales. The two were both extremely busy.

Every time Qiao Jiming called her, the line was either busy or no one answered. So he started preparing three dishes and a soup every day, putting them in an insulated box and bringing them to her office. He'd watch her eat before leaving. He didn't say much each time; he was there just to supervise her eating.

Every time the girls in the team see him, they will let out a sharp cry: "What a handsome brother, ahhhh, why can't I get the chance to be this kind of puppy!"

On the contrary, Guan Weizi has been in frequent contact with Qiao Susu recently, more frequently than before.

Firstly, it was because of their business dealings, and since he was an investor, he was familiar with consulting services in various industries. So when Qiao Sui Sui had many questions that she was unsure about, she would consult him. Secondly, Guan Weizhi was starting to prepare to close the net.

That day, he drove downstairs and asked them to go for dinner. When he came down, only Qiao Susu was there.

Guan Weizhi received Ye Xi's text message two minutes ago, but still asked Qiao Suisui: "Ye Xi doesn't want to eat?"

"She's in a meeting with R&D."

"Oh, then let's go to that Japanese restaurant we went to last time."

As soon as Qiao Susu got in the car, she started looking at the documents. She heard it without thinking and said okay.

I came to this quiet Japanese garden again and was greeted by the warm woman in kimono.

But when she saw Qiao Suisui, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Why has Miss Qiao changed so much?"

Qiao Susu blinked and looked down at herself. She was wearing a Chanel-style suit because she had something to discuss with someone today. It was quite professional, and she thought the other party was talking about the big change in her attire.

But the woman in kimono said, "The temperament is different too."

She remembered clearly that the last time Mr. Guan brought this girl here, she looked like a pure student who hadn't left the ivory tower yet, and her behavior was still a little restrained. But when she saw her again today, she had transformed into a very intelligent and dazzling person. That sense of confidence was inherent in her every move, a sense of courage.

Guan Weizi smiled, with a look of pride on his face as if his child was being praised.

"It's still the same old rule, fresh food comes first, and dessert comes last."

"Okay, Mr. Guan."

The two sat down. The cherry blossom season had already passed. Qiao Susu looked out the window and suddenly felt as if everything was a lifetime ago.

Guan Weizi poured her a cup of hot tea, then followed her gaze towards the cherry trees in the yard.

"I knew you were special from the first moment I saw you."

His voice was gentle and his tone was as natural as if old friends were chatting.

"Sui Sui, maybe you've only known me for a short time, but I've actually known you for a long time."

Qiao Susu turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

"The first time I saw you was on a rainy day. You were hiding from the rain outside the school, and I asked Old Tang to bring you an umbrella."

Qiao Suisui was slightly surprised and said, "It was you that day."

Guan Weizhi nodded, his eyes filled with sincerity: "I have never formally told you that I hope you will be my girlfriend."

In fact, there was a second half to the sentence that he didn't say - he also hoped to marry her and make her Mrs. Guan.

It's just that he was afraid of putting too much pressure on her and scaring her away.

Qiao Susu smiled, she was more calm than ever before.

"Teacher Guan, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

A straightforward rejection, without any excuses or pre-emptive 'nice guy cards', and without any hesitation.

Today, Qiao Susu is already able to stand on equal footing with Guan Weizi.

Guan Weizi frowned slightly and went through all the opposite sex around her in his mind. He had been on high alert over the years and had not given any other man the chance to approach her.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Is it Qiao Jiming?"

After he picked her up at the airport last time, he sent someone to check and found that there was indeed no blood relationship between them.

Qiao Suisui shook her head, "He's just family."

A ridiculous thought suddenly flashed through Guan Weizi's mind.

"You're not talking about the game."

Qiao Suisui knew this sounded ridiculous, so she smiled and said, "Yes."

Guan Weizhi held his forehead with his hand, "That's all fiction, I thought you understood it all."

She slowly put down her teacup and said with a smile, "I'm in this business now, and no one understands it better than me."

"So you still?"

"Isn't love also fictional?"

Guan Weizi was stunned.

Qiao Suisui said calmly, "Since it's all fictional, then it seems there's nothing wrong with me giving fictional love to a fictional object."

Love is just a kind of self-satisfaction. No matter it is a game or reality, as long as it can make people feel fulfilled from the heart, powerful, and seen, the meaning of love has been fulfilled.

The others are just additional.

Relationships, marriages, and having children are all extensions of love.

Her goal is happiness, and getting married or not is just a formality. If getting married can make her happy, she will get married. If not getting married can make her happy, then she will not get married.

After all, as long as she has the ability and confidence to survive and live on her own, all the paths in the world are just choices she can make.

Guan Weizhi didn't continue discussing the topic with her, only telling her to eat more because she had lost weight recently. But Qiao Suisui knew he hadn't given up, but she wasn't worried, because this man's wisdom was to stop at the right time.

After dinner, the two took a walk and talked about the project.

Qiao Susu looked up and stretched out her hands to cover her face. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and it felt warm on her body.

Everything is a new beginning.

She knew that she was also a brand new her.

The full text is over.
