When Xia Zhongqin first met Lian Yijian, the man sat opposite her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that couldn't hide the deep, bright gaze that seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts...
Chapter 24
Later on, Xia Kaiqun pursued Guan Yan, and the two went through many twists and turns and finally got married.
After having a child, because Xia Kaiqun's parents were old and Guan Yan's parents always looked down on Xia Kaiqun, there was no one to take care of the child, so Guan Yan resigned and stayed at home to become a full-time mother.
"I understand, Yi Jian. Don't worry, I will control the size."
After getting the phone back from Lian Yijian, Xia Kaiqun did not send a red envelope to Zhao Panpan. He only replied, "I'm a little busy now. Let's talk when we are free." When he was about to close the entire WeChat chat interface.
Zhao Panpan has already replied to him on WeChat: Okay, start the group, brother, take care of yourself (coffee).
"I'll stay up all night with you tonight. Tomorrow morning you can go back to their home in Qingpu, Magic City, to see Guan Yan and Kaikai. You haven't been home for almost a month." Lian Yijian had already sat down at Zhang Xiaoshan's workstation while he was speaking.
Xia Kaiqun took a sip of coffee and looked at Lian Yijian who was sitting next to him.
"Are you the supervisor? Sitting next to me and staring at me. Yi Jian, the situation between Guan Yan and me is not what you see on the surface. If it weren't for Kai Kai's custody, I would be reluctant to give it up. We would have obtained the divorce certificate long ago. Now we are just a nominal couple living under the same roof."
This was not the first time that Lian Yijian heard the words "divorce certificate" from Xia Kaiqun's mouth. Ever since they had a child and Guan Yan stopped working, the relationship between the two began to deteriorate.
The word "divorce" is often on the lips of Xia Kaiqun and Guan Yan.
"Were you sincere when you pursued Guan Yan? Why do you say you don't love her anymore now? Is it because Guan Yan doesn't work?" Lian Yijian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"When we're in love, it's genuine. I swear to that. It's really obvious. The feeling when you're in love is different from when you're married. You know, even if we're together for two days now, we don't say more than five sentences, and they're all about the kids."
"We don't even have a common language anymore, let alone the married life that a couple should have." Xia Kaiqun paused, looked at Lian Yijian with envy, and continued, "Yijian, you don't know how much I envy you for being single now. Your current life is my dream. Promise me, brother, don't be like me and fall in love. Don't take feelings too seriously. Even if Zhong Qin doesn't have a boyfriend now, don't take her too seriously. Don't be easily moved. If you are moved, you will fall into an irretrievable state. I would rather be in love for the rest of my life than get married."
Lian Yijian had never been in a relationship before, so he was completely confused by Xia Kaiqun's eloquent words. He also knew that it was not appropriate for him to interfere too much in Xia Kaiqun's family affairs, so he replied, "The child is innocent."
After returning to his residence and taking a shower, Xia Zhongqin read the fifth, or last, part of Mo Yan's "Frog" in one breath.
Xia Zhongqin checked the time on her phone. It was already around 12:40 in the morning. She rarely got to rest so late at night.
Ji Yue had not returned yet, but at nine o'clock, she sent Xia Zhongqin two photos of Xue Zhiqian's live concert.
Xia Zhongqin replied, "As long as you are happy," and Ji Yue did not respond.
Xia Zhongqin has already arranged his time for tomorrow. In the morning, he completed the adjustments to the four modules of the Centennial Project's personnel management workflow and the fields of the expense reimbursement form that needed to be adjusted in the rental house.
In the afternoon, I went back to her Sunset Red Nursing Home and returned the book "Frog" I had just finished reading to the self-service library in the subway station.
Just like last night, Xia Zhongqin's door was not locked, leaving it open for Ji Yue.
Xia Zhongqin had just turned off the lights and lay down on the bed when she heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
Before the door was opened, Xia Zhongqin quickly sat up from the bed and turned on the bedroom light.
The door opened and Ji Yue walked in with a bunch of beautiful roses in her hands, followed by Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan did not come in, but just stood at the door.
Ji Yue, who had already placed the roses on the desk, returned to the door and said in a delicate voice, "Brother Shan, I'm safe here with me. Please drive slowly on your way back."
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon and help you move. Have a good rest at night." After saying that, Zhang Xiaoshan kissed Ji Yue on the forehead in front of Xia Zhongqin, and then gently closed the door from the outside.
Zhang Gong Xiaoshan kissed Ji Yue in front of Xia Zhongqin. Xia Zhongqin had seen this many times and was already used to him doing this regardless of the occasion.
In just less than two days, Zhang Xiaoshan found a house, which was very fast. The year before last, Xia Zhongqin took half a month to find the rental house.
"Xiaoshan is really efficient." Xia Zhongqin got out of bed and took a set of clothes from the closet and put them on the bed. "Yueyue, go wash up. I've put your pajamas on the bed for you."
"Thank you, sister." Ji Yue picked up the pajamas on the bed and went to the bathroom.
But very quickly, Ji Yue came out of the bathroom wearing pajamas and changed into pajamas.
"So fast?" Xia Zhongqin looked at her in confusion.
"Brother Shan and I have already showered at the hotel."
Ji Yue told Xia Zhongqin everything that happened in the hotel. It turned out that on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, Zhang Xiaoshan had booked a lake view room at the Jinji Lake Hotel early. After watching the concert at the Olympic Sports Center, the two went to the Jinji Lake Hotel.
