"Not yet," Yang Qiaoqiao replied.

Tong Xuejiao adjusted her position, lying face down on the bed, and looked at Yang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, do you think Yan Heqing will succeed in going abroad to chase after his first love this time?"

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

Perhaps it's true that outsiders have a clearer perspective, but she always felt that given Yan Heqing's feelings for Tong Xuejiao, even if that first love existed, he wouldn't be so deeply in love that he would still chase after her abroad after so many years of no contact.

"Sister Xuejiao, I've actually wanted to ask you this before: how are you so sure that Brother Yan went abroad to pursue his first love? Did he tell you that himself?"

"Ha, after receiving a call from his first love that afternoon, he went around asking people to help him get a plane ticket that night. The next morning, he flew directly abroad."

You say he didn't go to see his first love, so what did he go to do?

Tong Xuejiao scoffed coldly and spoke with reason and evidence.

After hearing what she said, Yang Qiaoqiao could only say, "I don't think they can make it."

"Really? Why?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Xuejiao excitedly pressed for an answer.

Yang Qiaoqiao also analyzed seriously: "I heard that when Brother Yan's first love went abroad, she asked Brother Yan if he wanted to go with her, but Brother Yan refused."

Since Brother Yan rejected her in the first place, it means that their revolutionary ideals were fundamentally different.

Their differing philosophies meant they couldn't be together even when they were deeply in love. Now, so much time has passed, and both have changed significantly, making a reunion even more impossible.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Xuejiao let out a heavy sigh of relief, seemingly much more relaxed, and agreed, "You're right."

Tong Xuejiao chatted with Yang Qiaoqiao for a while longer.

Tong Xuejiao kept bringing up the topic of Yan Heqing.

Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xuejiao, have you ever thought that you might actually have some feelings for Brother Yan?"

"How could that be?!" Tong Xuejiao was so provoked by Yang Qiaoqiao's question that she sat up abruptly. "That guy is arrogant, cocky, and domineering. I like him? Am I out of my mind?"

Yang Qiaoqiao kindly reminded me, "You've been talking to me about Brother Yan the whole time."

Tong Xuejiao blushed and stammered, "I didn't mean to talk about him. It's just that you guys came and he left, and we don't have anyone else we know or talk about besides him, so I told you about him."

After saying that, she emphasized again, "Yes, besides him, there's no one else around us with whom we can have anything to talk about."

Yang Qiaoqiao looked at Tong Xuejiao, smiled meaningfully, and remained noncommittal.

Are Xu Yizhou and Luo Yingzi not considered people they both know?

Tong Xuejiao didn't gossip at all about how the two of them got together, because all she could think about now was Yan Heqing.

Tong Xuejiao saw Yang Qiaoqiao's meaningful smile, and slumped weakly onto the bed. "Sigh, never mind, I'm not talking to you about him anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

Yang Qiaoqiao has been sleeping more since she became pregnant.

The next morning, when Tong Xuejiao woke up, she was still asleep.

Tong Xuejiao quietly got up, got ready, and prepared to go out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Huo Beixiao standing outside like a door god.

Tong Xuejiao was startled. "Huo Beixiao, why aren't you in your room this early in the morning? What are you doing standing here? You're trying to scare me to death!"

Huo Beixiao's dark, deep eyes were filled with coldness. "That's your room."

This is the woman who stole his wife last night.

Without his sweet and soft wife to hold him while he slept, he barely slept at all last night.

Tong Xuejiao was startled by the cold aura emanating from him.

At the same time, she felt a little relieved. Luckily, she knew beforehand that this guy was married, so she managed to control her feelings in time.

Otherwise, if she were to fight Yang Qiaoqiao to the death over this icy face, even if she won in the end, she wouldn't be happy facing that icy face for the rest of her life.

However, she was overwhelmed by Huo Beixiao's imposing aura and dared not show her disdain for him.

"Hehe." She chuckled awkwardly but politely. "Don't be so stingy! You and your wife are going to sleep together for a lifetime, I'm just going to sleep with your wife for one night."

"I have something to do, I need to go to the factory first, I'm leaving now!" Tong Xuejiao said, and ran off in a flash.

She didn't want to face Huo Beixiao's cold face at all.

She even thought Yan Heqing's arrogant face was better looking than Huo Beixiao's icy face.

Thinking back, she actually went back to Yun County specifically for Huo Beixiao, that big ice block, and even invested in a shopping mall in the provincial capital with him in order to have more opportunities to get closer to him.

She must have been out of her mind back then.

On the other side, Huo Beixiao entered the room carrying a lunchbox containing breakfast.

Yang Qiaoqiao has been sleeping well lately, and the noise at the door just now didn't wake her up.

Looking at his wife's peaceful sleeping face, Huo Beixiao's icy expression instantly melted away, leaving only tenderness.

He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Yang Qiaoqiao's face.

He stood by the bedside and picked up a book that Yang Qiaoqiao had been reading the night before and started reading it.

Recently, Yang Qiaoqiao has stopped reading books on fashion design and started reading books on economics.

Huo Beixiao happened to be interested in this as well, and he got engrossed in it as soon as he started reading.

By the time Yang Qiaoqiao woke up, he had already read several chapters.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, what are you doing here? Where's Sister Xuejiao?" Yang Qiaoqiao opened her eyes and saw Huo Beixiao, still a little confused.

She clearly remembered that Tong Xuejiao had slept with her last night.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of grievance flashed in Huo Beixiao's eyes.

Yang Qiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. She had almost forgotten that this man was a jealous person. Would he be jealous of women too?

Last night, Tong Xuejiao suggested sleeping with her, and she also wanted to sleep with Tong Xuejiao to gossip about her and Yan Heqing.

She went to great lengths to get the man to agree to let her sleep in a room by herself.

Yang Qiaoqiao quickly hooked one arm around the man's neck and leaned in to plant a kiss on his smooth jawline. "Honey, I felt so unaccustomed to sleeping without you by my side last night!"

Huo Beixiao's tense expression softened into a gentle smile. "Tong Xuejiao said she had something to do at her factory and went there first."

I'll go get you breakfast, you wait here.

As he spoke, he gave Yang Qiaoqiao a light kiss on the lips before getting up to fetch the lunchbox containing breakfast.

Yang Qiaoqiao also got up, washed up quickly, and ate breakfast.

After breakfast, she took out the gift for Xia Yuntao from her suitcase, preparing to visit the Xia family.

They called Xia Yuntao before they arrived.

The Xia family lived in an old Western-style house in Xuhui District, Shanghai.

Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao took the tram there, and after getting off, they walked about 500 meters to the Xia family's gate.

As soon as she got outside, she saw an ambulance parked outside, and several doctors hurriedly got out of the ambulance and rushed into the old house.
