Chapter 104 I'm getting engaged next month, remember to come to the banquet.

Whose CEO's office and assistant's office share a bathroom?

She said, "Why do we have partitions in the restroom?"

"Aren't you working overtime? Go get to work."

Xu Si'an picked her up and placed her on the dressing table next to him: "Senior brother is here. They're flirting with their dog next door."

Qiao Xu pushed his shoulder to stop him from kissing her: "How do you know it's flirting? Maybe... *bang*!!!"

? ? ?

Xu Si'an carried Qiao Xu down from the lounge and walked out, only to find that the elevator doors had already closed.

Only Si Shen remained in the president's office, sitting on the sofa where He Yanxun had just been sitting.

The wine bottle is broken.

"Senior brother, what's going on between you two?"

Qiao Xu came in and saw Si Shen sitting on the sofa with his head down, so she silently retreated.

Xu Si'an put his arm around the man's shoulder: "Ah Xun is a simpleton, you know that, senior brother, he's..."

"It's okay, I respect his choice."

"What choice?"

Xu Si'an knew how much effort Si Shen had put in to get the Si family to accept that his partner was a man.

“He’s right, I shouldn’t have held him back.”

Si Shen's words finally broke Xu Si'an's composure: "He's mentally ill."

"Wasn't he acting voluntarily in the first place?"

What are you talking about now that's causing delays?

Si Shen still had a faint smile on his face: "I expected this day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. He's right, I took advantage of his vulnerability."

"I'm leaving now, I won't disturb you and Miss Qiao. Happy birthday."

The more open and honest he was, the more uneasy Xu Si'an felt.

Although he has no right or standing to judge other people's love lives, He Yanxun...

never mind.

Let him run into a brick wall.

He's stubborn; how will he know who's the right person for him if he doesn't crash and burn?

Qiao Xu came over when she heard the commotion and saw the mess on the ground.

"I'll go get some things to tidy up."

"Qiaoqiao, give me a hug." Qiao Xu knew how important He Yanxun was to Xu Si'an, whose childhood was not happy.

So much so that when he got into trouble, she understood He Yanxun's extreme words.

Qiao Xu walked behind him and hugged his waist from behind.

"Ah Si, love is a high-stakes gamble. Love comes from free will, and you have to accept the consequences."

Xu Si'an turned around and pulled her into his arms: "So, what about you? Did you lose the bet?"

"No, Ah Si won't let me lose."

The man's lowered head was gentle, yet fierce and domineering.

Qiao Xu's legs were weak when he held her as she sat in the office chair.

Xu Si'an opened the file bag that Si Shen had just brought and saw that it contained a villa in Beijing where land is extremely valuable.

In this area, you need not only money, but also power to buy a house.

"Qiaoqiao, what do you think we should give as a wedding gift when Senior Brother and Ah Xun get married? It would be comparable to this villa worth hundreds of millions."

After a two-second silence, Qiao Xu whispered three words in his ear.

Xu Si'an chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose: "Who did you learn that from? How can you be so naughty?"

"Do you dare say that what you're thinking isn't this?"

Condoms are so safe and perfect for them.

If it weren't for that damned and vicious Shen Zhiwei, he would be on his 2.8-meter-long bed right now, discussing the most primal and beautiful things in human life with his Qiaoqiao.

After that day, Xu Si'an didn't see He Yanxun for a long time.

That's fine, but what about the dog?

He doesn't plan to return the dog that he and Qiao Xu used to pledge their love?

Xu Si'an went to the entertainment company: "Where is your CEO, Mr. He?"

The assistant stood awkwardly at the door: "Mr. Xu, Mr. He hasn't been to the company for a week. Could you please take care of those contracts on the desk?"

"What did you say?"

Xu Si'an was truly speechless. He came to find the dog, not to be his beast of burden.

He's just taking advantage of the fact that he also owns shares in this company.

After handling some important matters, Xu Si'an went to He Yanxun's house.

He would ring the doorbell until it was smoking before the door would open.

Xu Si'an almost didn't recognize that the person he was holding in his arms was his cherry.

"You fucking abused my dog?"

With his hair all messed up like that, and he's gotten thinner, wouldn't Qiao Xu be furious if she saw him?

He Yanxun stuffed the cherry into his arms: "Here you go."

Xu Si'an carried the dog into the house, looking at its doghouse...

It's a long story.

"Why did you have to do that? Si Shen taking you back to the Si family has definitely resolved all your worries."

Xu Si'an found Cherry's nest in the corner of the master bedroom.

“Ah Xun, your senior brother gave up his inheritance rights to the Si family in order to return to Luocheng to find you.”

“The company in Luo City is his own now, and has nothing to do with the Si family. He has never used any resources given to him by the Si family.”

He Yanxun and Si Shen met in Los Angeles.

At that time, Si Shen was the heir to the Si family in Beijing, whose assets were located in North America.

Si Shen, who was raised as an heir from a young age, was sent to Las Vegas after he came of age.

Wandering through various shopping malls in Washington, Seattle, and Chicago.

When Si Shen met Xu Si'an, it was because his company needed financing, and Si Shen wanted to use him to get rid of the Si family's economic control over him.

The seemingly high and mighty heir has thousands of eyes and thousands of knives waiting to stab him until he is nothing but bones.

"I know."

“We were never on the same level. He was the heir to the Si family, and I was the playboy.”

He Yanxun slumped onto the sofa: "I'm getting engaged next month, remember to come to the banquet."

Xu Si'an, who was about to leave with the dog in his arms, froze for a moment, looking at him with disbelief: "Engaged? Have you lost your mind?"

"No, Grandma chose it. It's fine. She doesn't mind that my previous boyfriend was my ex."

Xu Si'an shook his head: "You're hopeless."

“Ah Xun, Si Shen will not thank you for doing such foolish things.”

"When I broke up with Qiao Xu, you told me to chase after her and try to get back together, but why is it with you—"

He hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped himself. Love is a question in this world without a right answer.

After Xu Si'an left, He Yanxun lay face down on the sofa.

He simply couldn't give Si Shen the love he wanted.

To him, they were simply compatible life partners.

He did not deny that Si Shen loved him, and he could feel his love in every way.

But he also asked himself, did he love her?

I've asked countless times, and the answer is always the same... I don't know!

Two weeks later, Xu Si'an and Qiao Xu landed in Beijing. Si Shen personally came to pick them up and brought them some news.

“Shen Zhiwei was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Three days ago, she was diagnosed with late-stage uterine cancer. Xu Shiran, as her legal husband, applied to the court for hospitalization.”

Qiao Xu's eyes darkened, and her hand, which was resting on her knee, was suddenly gripped tightly.

"What if I disagree?"

Si Shen told Xu Si'an exactly what he had learned from his elder brother.

“If his condition is serious, his request will be granted.”

After all, the two-year reprieve gave Shen Zhiwei the opportunity to appeal.

"Xu Shiran requested an appeal, but it was rejected."

Xu Si'an sneered: "Is there any point in treating her? She's going to die sooner or later anyway."

Does she want to suffer and eke out a miserable existence?

Coincidentally, he also really wanted to see her looking like she wanted to die but couldn't.
