Chapter 112: In the end, I fell for it; I was absolutely in love.
Xu Si'an suddenly stopped rummaging through things and looked in the direction Qiao Xu was looking.
Xu Si'an sneered and called Chang Yi downstairs.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Xu Si'an pointed to the surveillance camera on the shelf, and Chang Yi took out the memory card and connected it to the computer in the study.
As soon as the file was opened, Qiao Xu was pulled into Xu Si'an's arms and her ears were covered.
"Holy crap! This woman actually brought her lover home, tsk tsk tsk, is that all..."
Xu Si'an's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Shut up."
Chang Yi turned off the screen, leaving only his voice: "Brother, the footage in this surveillance camera is just a backup, because someone is remotely controlling it."
Qiao Xu looked up at him: "Are you alright?"
Xu Si'an lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Why not? She has nothing to do with me."
"Ah Qiu, did you put in the medicine I gave you?"
"Let it go, don't worry, the Xu family will definitely belong to our son. As for that woman, find another opportunity to get rid of the child in her belly."
"One Xu Si'an is not enough, do you want another one? Don't even think about it."
"Don't worry, after the old man dies, I'll move in and pamper you every day..."
Qiao Xu suddenly felt nauseous; she hadn't expected Fang Yiqiu to be so bold.
However, she probably didn't expect that all of her actions would be recorded.
"Ah Si?"
Xu Si'an gestured for Chang Yi to take the things down and leave: "Have A Gui look for the man in the video."
At night, Qiao Xu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and drying her hair, and saw Xu Si'an standing on the balcony in a daze.
"Still thinking about what happened this afternoon?"
Xu Si'an turned around and saw Qiao Xu with wet hair. He quickly went back inside, closed the balcony door, and held her in his arms to dry her hair.
"Qiaoqiao, tell me, is my dad stupid?"
"If he had stuck to the person he wanted back then, like I have, would I also have had a great family background?"
Xu Si'an said he didn't care, but he hadn't missed any important things to investigate behind the scenes.
His parents' relationship is actually very similar to his relationship with Qiao Xu.
The Xu family elders looked down on Xu Si'an's mother's background, seeing her as just a pretty face from the countryside.
Xu Si'an's grandparents found Zhang Yunqing and asked her to leave Xu Zhixin.
Fang Yiqiu is the adopted daughter of a friend of the Xu family's matriarch, and her marriage was arranged by the older generation.
Xu Zhixin was tricked into bed by Fang Yiqiu, and his parents caught them in the act.
Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, the evidence of her "cheating" still reached Zhang Yunqing's eyes.
There is also a marriage certificate with Xu Zhixin's name on it.
Zhang Yunqing left quietly, and Xu Zhixin searched for her for two years.
A long-awaited reunion brought them together, and they found Xu Si'an.
The elderly couple in the Xu family are very traditional people and would never allow the Xu family bloodline to be outside, even if it is an "illegitimate child".
When Xu Si'an was six months old, Xu Zhixin brought him home. The condition he discussed with Fang Yiqiu was that Xu Shiran could be the eldest son of the Xu family, but his son with Zhang Yunqing could not be an illegitimate child.

Qiao Xu gently stroked his slightly furrowed brow with her fingers: "A Si, Uncle may have had no choice in the matter. Do you blame him?"
Xu Si'an was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Is it strange? Maybe it is. He is never home. I always watch Xu Shiran have his mother's care, while I only have my pitiful nanny."
“Qiaoqiao, I used to long for love and yearn to be loved, but I knew that no matter what I did, they wouldn’t see it.”
"Later you said you liked me, you said you loved me, and I believed you. I learned to love."
"I fell for it, I'm totally in love with it."
"I don't want any love from anyone else but the love you give me."
The tears that Qiao Xu had been holding back in her eyes dripped down her chin onto her pajamas.
She turned around and hugged his neck, burying her face in his neck: "Ah Si, I don't think I've ever said sorry to you before."
"Ah Si, I'm sorry."
I'm sorry I lost you for four years.
I'm sorry for the promise I made to you.
Xu Si'an gently stroked her long hair: "Baby, if you don't want me, it must be because I haven't done enough."
"My Qiaoqiao is perfect no matter what."
“I’d rather hear Qiaoqiao say she loves me.”
“Baby, I heard from your mother that you were also very sad to leave me, so my Qiaoqiao doesn’t need to say sorry.”
This was the only time, outside of bed, that Xu Si'an didn't coax Qiao Xu.
Qiao Xu always kept herself in a small corner where she was all alone.
He was happy that she was willing to open up to him and vent her frustrations.
He let Qiao Xu cry on his shoulder, while he casually wiped her hair as if nothing was wrong.
In fact, from an angle that Qiao Xu couldn't see, her eyes had already reddened.
He was dumped, and even his best friend, who had helped him prepare for his graduation proposal, viewed Qiao Xu with a veiled affection.
Only he knew that his Jojo said many things she didn't mean.
Qiao Xu's sobs gradually subsided, weak and feeble, as she tightly clung to his neck.
Xu Si'an gently patted her back: "Are you done crying? Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."
Qiao Xu shook her head: "A Si, when I went back to the apartment, I wanted to tell you that I regretted breaking up with you."
Suddenly, his shoulder was grabbed, and Xu Si'an stared into Qiao Xu's eyes.
"you--"
Xu Si'an was so angry that tears rolled down her cheeks.
He pushed his back teeth together and burst into tears.
"I······"
"You steal dogs, so what if you steal me and take me home? I'm easy to take care of."
"I can cook and I can make money. I'd even be willing to marry into your family and pay you to do so."
He accused Qiao Xu with aggrieved feelings: "Do you know that you want to break up with me and leave me? Fine, I accept it and I'll bear it myself. I can give you anything you want."
"But······"
"But Qiao Xu—"
The sight of a man nearing thirty crying uncontrollably left Qiao Xu somewhat at a loss.
"I'm sorry, Ah Si, I'm so sorry."
Her fingers trembled slightly as she covered Xu Si'an's eyes, the scalding tears burning her palms.
"I fucking lost the cherries."
“I thought, I thought that since you didn’t take it with you when you left, I would have an excuse to let you come and see the cherries.”
"But... I lost it, I lost my wife, and I lost my dog too."
"Qiao Xu, you're trying to kill me."
With each breath Qiao Xu took, her heart ached terribly.
Her Ah Si was just that good; even when she was angry, she couldn't bear to yell at her.
"Ah Si, I'm sorry."
"The weekend is almost here, and that arrogant CEO Xu is crying again. I also want a man who loves me like that. I'd have to kowtow a few times to get one _(:3」∠)_"
