Chapter 154 Extra: Four Seasons: Never Apart
The vehicle was once again on its way to the airport, and both the driver and the assistant in the passenger seat were a little dazed.
My gaze kept trying to look towards the back row, but the partition behind the row had already been raised, so I couldn't see what was happening there.
There was an extra person in the back seat; that person was Xiao Su, whom the boss had pulled out of the coffee shop.
The scene was like something out of a movie. They exchanged a few words, then hugged, and left the coffee shop hand in hand. Regardless of the details, the assistant thought it was quite romantic.
The assistant was completely confused.
In her eyes, her boss and CEO Su should be complete strangers; just a few days ago, he had asked her for the other's biographical information.
Just a few days later, we met again at a coffee shop, as if we were old friends who had known each other for generations.
What else is there about the boss that she doesn't know?
On the other side of the partition, Su Cheng explained why she was there.
Su Cheng: "When I come here on a business trip, every time I pass through this city, I want to visit you at the sanatorium in the suburbs."
Seeing Xi Congshuang is not an easy thing. She will only see the people she invites. The rest will be kept out of the hospital, including her parents.
Not to mention Su Cheng, who was a complete stranger to her and whom she hadn't seen for ten years.
The more Xi Congshuang listened, the more her heart ached.
Su Cheng: "But I'm not qualified to visit you. I'll just sit here for a while and leave when the plane takes off."
Xi Congshuang: "I'm sorry, I was kidnapped on my way to your house ten years ago. Due to the stress, I lost that memory and forgot everything related to Yuancheng City and Yude No. 3 Middle School."
Su Cheng was taken aback: "So that's how it is. I've felt guilty ever since you suddenly disappeared back then. If I hadn't gone home the night before, would I have..."
Xi Congshuang leaned in and kissed her lips. After a long while, they separated, and Xi continued what she hadn't finished saying: "This has nothing to do with you. Those kidnappers planned this all along."
"Even if it wasn't that day, it would have been the next day. It just happened to happen that day. It's definitely not your fault."
Meeting Su Cheng's silent gaze, Xi Congshuang's eyes were gentle as water: "I don't know if anyone has blamed you for this, but as someone who experienced it, I'm telling you it's not your fault. I've never felt it was your fault, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."
Su Cheng raised her hand and hugged the person beside her, absorbing the warmth of their body, her gaze unwilling to leave them for even a moment: "Besides what happened ten years ago, do you still remember..."
Her words were hesitant, suggesting that she couldn't reveal the secret.
"I remember."
She remembered everything from each of her past lives. Gazing deeply into the other person's eyes, Xi Congshuang repeated, "I remember it all."
*
This is something that's been circulating at the company headquarters lately.
The story sounded incredibly absurd, like a rumor, and was even denounced by the skeptical staff as a fabrication involving unrelated people.
But it really did happen.
That means the aloof and unapproachable CEO Xi has a girlfriend.
This woman, who successfully seized power at the age of twenty and took control of a vast business empire, did not take the route of arranged marriage, but instead fell in love freely and had a passionate romance.
Her romantic partner is Ms. Su, the CEO of a high-end bespoke brand that has gained fame in recent years.
Mr. Luo worked too hard in his early years, and his health has been declining in recent years. He handed over the CEO position to his daughter, Su Cheng, who has semi-retired behind the scenes but still controls the design department.
The design department is the real lifeline of the company. With Su Cheng in charge of management, Luo Ou no longer needs to be distracted by management, her workload is greatly reduced, and she is much more relaxed.
None of these are the most important things. The most important thing is, how exactly did the negotiations come about?
What everyone really wants to know is how they met.
Their CEO, Xi, is a strong-willed, sickly beauty. These seemingly contrasting words do indeed coexist in Xi Congshuang. Although she has been recuperating in a sanatorium for a long time, she has never relaxed her control over the company.
As for Su Cheng, the young CEO, he is indeed a rising star in recent years, and it seems that he has no opportunity to get to know Xi Congshuang.
This question baffled everyone, and they all asked the assistant, who was likely to know the truth.
The assistant said mysteriously, "Don't pry. Is Mr. Xi's business something to gossip about?"
Everyone felt a chill. Recently, President Xi had been coming to the company very frequently, almost as if he were returning to work. They really couldn't afford to be too reckless.
After the employees in the break room had all left, the assistant, his previously inscrutable expression gone, muttered to himself, "I want to know too."
But she couldn't tell exactly when they got together.
Later, the assistant fully accepted this fact and even had the opportunity to attend his boss's island wedding, where he spent three days surfing the waves and returned to work with a deep tan.
There's no way around it, free things are just so delightful.
But now, in addition to handling daily work, assistants also have to book restaurants for their bosses' after-get off work dates.
Unexpectedly, the conversation with the boss turned out to be quite romantic.
*
Life is not much different from before; there are no more dramatic events.
They kissed goodbye at the door when it got light, then went to work separately. After work, they went home together, ate together, went out on dates on weekends, and chatted in bed at home, eventually kissing each other without realizing it.
His breathing was disordered, his clothes were disheveled, and the sheets were creased from being kicked, like waves.
In some ways, things are still the same as before. For example, the hand that pushes you away will only be held, and then the hand inside your body will go deeper and become irresistible.
As night deepened and the people around her had fallen asleep, Xi Congshuang put on her pajamas and went to the island counter to get a drink of water.
A red apple, as red as a jewel, appeared silently beside me, and it had wings.
It said, "I'm leaving."
Xi Congshuang paused in her drinking: "You're leaving so soon?"
Come to think of it, she had gotten used to the presence of this apple. Suddenly hearing the other party say that they were leaving felt like a pet cat meowing and telling her that they were going on an adventure.
Red Apple: "It's not going to be long. Half a month has already passed, and I should go back to report."
Xi Congshuang: "I remember your system can travel through time and space, so will we still have a chance to meet?"
"You want me to come? Then I'll definitely come!" Red Apple, who was initially a little reluctant, became happy. "You are my first host. I wish you happiness."
"Thanks."
*
I heard that Xi Congshuang's health has improved a lot, and her family has requested to meet her again.
Having just returned from ten years ago, Xi Congshuang was in no mood to meet him and had her assistant convey that she was busy.
This is what they do most often. Now Xi Congshuang is just returning the favor exactly as it was. Even if she really hates the other person, she has grown into their appearance.
Later, Xi Congshuang agreed to meet, persuaded by the reasons given by her parents, who had refused on her behalf several times.
"You don't want us to be speechless when people ask us what kind of person you like, do you?"
Occasionally, amidst a sea of unpleasant words, Xi Wenzhu would manage to utter a few things that Xi Congshuang was willing to hear.
For example, it appears now.
So after discussing it with Su Cheng, she decided to take her home for the weekend.
Su Cheng had never met Xi Congshuang's parents. Ten years ago, she had only met an assistant wearing gold-rimmed glasses who told her that Xi Congshuang had disappeared on her way to her home.
He also said, "Please don't try to find Miss Xi again. You two are not on the same path."
Su Cheng refused. During a car accident, she agreed to a contract with a peach-shaped system, went to a mission world to complete a mission, and thus gained a chance to be resurrected.
Her mission is to play the female lead who is destined to turn evil and die. In each life, she is a native and only remembers her mission identity when she leaves the mission world.
This mission is two-way: Su Cheng's nature constantly influences the progress of the predetermined but not yet realized timeline, while Xi Congshuang intervenes from the outside.
The mission was a great success; both sides managed to save themselves and, incidentally, had several lifetimes of romance.
Su Cheng got into the car heading to Xi Congshuang's parents' house and asked, "Don't we need to bring a gift?"
Xi Congshuang shook her head: "No need, I had someone send some heart-protecting pills and brain-boosting supplements back in advance."
"?" This can be given as a gift?
Logically speaking, these two items can indeed be given as gifts and are helpful to the elderly.
But Xi Congshuang's parents aren't ordinary people; they can't be judged by common sense.
Xi Congshuang comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll send them whether they need them or not. They'll understand what I mean."
I'll put up with it for a while so I don't have to use those two things.
When the two met, the couple's expressions were indeed subtle.
Before meeting Su Cheng, the couple already knew who Su Cheng was. They never expected that Xi Congshuang, who had forgotten everything, would still be with him after all the twists and turns. How could they not have a strange expression?
After regaining her memories, Xi Congshuang obtained clues and investigated the events of that year, learning everything.
They've never been kind to them, and they never will be in the future.
Before the parents could even speak, Xi Congshuang said, "This is the person I like, my future husband."
"..."
Xi Congshuang: "Show some respect."
Cong Zan and Xi Wenzhu: "…………"
That's how simple and direct it was—it successfully shut the couple up.
Unexpectedly, the period when this couple had the best relationship and spent the longest time together was not during their first few years of marriage, nor during the time when Xi Congshuang was just born.
Instead, Xi Congshuang forced them to retire every year after that.
The couple lost their appetite during the meal. Every time they tried to speak, they would see Xi Congshuang placing the heart-protecting pills and brain-boosting supplements she had brought in the most conspicuous place.
It was so conspicuous and unsightly that it was hard not to notice, so I had no choice but to swallow my words.
Now, Xi Congshuang doesn't need to do anything to make the couple uncomfortable; she only needs to sit there to make them feel uncomfortable.
She forced the two tigers to become domestic cats, forcing them to hide their claws and act according to her whims.
She felt relieved, but also relieved. She had already experienced true maternal love and would no longer be trapped in the past by her past emotions.
After dinner, Xi Congshuang walked out of the residential area and took a walk with He Sucheng under the shade of trees.
"When we get back, I'll lighten my workload a bit. I want to have more time to spend with you." Xi Congshuang walked through the sunlight filtering through the leaves.
"Then we'll go see the flowers and fly kites in the spring, go to the sea in the summer, watch the falling leaves in the autumn, and ski and soak in hot springs in the winter." He swayed his hands, forcibly drawing Su Cheng's attention to himself.
"There is no need to worry about any potential risks anymore."
Su Cheng: "But I can't ski."
The first few things were all good, but winter activities were really not her forte.
Xi Congshuang pulled her closer and kissed her lips: "I will, I'll teach you then."
—The End—
————————
After a thrilling journey, things have finally calmed down. I hope Snowflake and Orange will be healthy and happy together forever. [Sprinkling flowers]
The story ends here, but it doesn't end here. Hooray for the finale! See you in the next book! [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks]
Next up, let me recommend the next novel—
"The Tool-like Female Supporting Character, Me? [Quick Transmigration]"
The female supporting character is someone who is infatuated with the protagonist and even bangs her head against a wall for her, but ultimately suffers a crushing defeat and watches the protagonist live happily ever after while she herself has nothing.
Some are exceptionally talented but go astray.
Some, having suffered greatly, become cynical and world-weary.
Some are gentle and refined, yet are actually scoundrels.
Some people give everything only to receive a simple "I only treated her like a younger sister" in return...
Shenyin plays this kind of role.
In addition, she also has to cause trouble for the female lead, and playing the role of a vicious female supporting character backfires, causing the protagonist and the female lead to get together, and becoming a stumbling block between the protagonist and the female lead.
Shenyin: Hehe, I won't be a simp :)
*
My childhood sweetheart ran away because of my inferiority complex.
She transmigrated into the body of a spoiled young lady who, after making a mistake, was banished to a small town under the pretense of training her willpower, and would be brought back once she had learned her lesson.
According to the plot, Shenyin will fall in love with the protagonist next door at first sight, becoming obsessed and infatuated. After being unable to win his love, she goes crazy and drives a car into people, but ends up killing herself and dying young, leaving all her assets to the protagonist who can't have her.
Shenyin said that being a CEO is worse than being in a relationship, and those who can't have someone should stay away from her.
When it was time to leave, Qingmei, who should have been self-conscious and weak, said with a determined look, "Wait for me, I will definitely come to where you are to find you."
Shenyin: "..."
#No need to wait, I'll take it now#
The protagonist, who was just waiting for a simp to take him out of town: "?"
The protagonist, who turns around to find that his childhood sweetheart, whom he felt inferior about, is no longer there: "??"
The official couple and their devoted admirer formed a bicycle that ran away on its own!
*
My cute junior sister ran away.
Everyone knows that Immortal Venerable Linzhou has a pure and unblemished appearance, flawless white hair, and unfathomable cultivation. He spends most of his time in seclusion in his cave, detached from worldly affairs.
According to the plot, Lin Zhou, who had been in seclusion for many years, discovered the protagonist who looked exactly like his beloved when he emerged from seclusion. His calm heart was instantly rekindled, and he decided to take him as his disciple.
Selfless dedication, asking for nothing in return, exhausting one's energy and effort?
Shenyin said that being in a relationship is not as good as ascending to heaven, and that the sea of hatred and the sky of love should stay away from her.
The junior sister, who should have been deeply in love with the elder, was chasing after the cold and aloof white-haired elder every day.
The junior sister exclaimed excitedly, "Is Elder going to become a demon? Let's go together!"
Finding the righteous path uninteresting and preparing to unify the demon realm, Shenyin: "?"
At first, Shenyin thought it was quite fun for the female lead to stumble and fall along with her, but later she thought it wouldn't hurt to have a relationship.
*
His wife ran away when he was down on his luck
The noblewoman from Longyang is wealthy and stunningly beautiful. It is rumored that she will marry a rising warlord, forming a perfect union.
According to the plot, Shenyin will marry a powerful and ambitious man, offering up all her troops and wealth in order to obtain the position of empress. Later, the emperor discovers her vicious true nature, accuses her of scheming, and abandons her from the harem.
Sacrifice everything, only to end up with nothing?
Shenyin said, "If everyone can rebel, why can't I?"
He rolled up his sleeves and got to work, and he also encountered his true love, his wife from his humble beginnings. The noblewoman was deposed because her belongings exposed the true face of the empress.
The female lead, who was supposed to rescue the wounded warlord, was incredibly enthusiastic: "Are you planning a rebellion? Let's do it together!"
Shenyin: "..."
Oh well, we're already here.
*
The stepmother ran back home after she was taken.
Because of a childhood crush he couldn't forget, he agreed to adopt his old friend's daughter and raised her with great care, promising her that she would inherit everything in the future. He then discovered that his adopted daughter had been hoping for his death so she could inherit his fortune and marry the woman he had arranged to have with good luck.
