Chapter 349: Sense of Proportion
Qiao Shixin soon heard that her brother and sister-in-law were getting divorced.
During the break of the final exam, she was waiting for her turn to take the exam. She didn't even bother to warm up for the exam. She took her phone and hid aside to call Qiao Shiyan to ask about the situation:
"Brother! What the hell is going on?!"
"What's going on? Don't you have an exam today? Call me when you have time?"
"My sister-in-law is about to run away, why should I take the exam? An elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and I am losing my mother!"
Qiao Shixin speaks without restraint.
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Shiyan would have scolded her for speaking in an unlucky way.
But this time, Qiao Shiyan remained silent.
Feeling the heaviness of her brother's voice on the other end of the phone, Qiao Shixin also became anxious, "Brother! Did you do anything to let my sister-in-law down?"
"You are a child, don't ask about adults' affairs."
"I'm already married! I'm not a child! Brother, you love my sister-in-law so much, you shouldn't be the one to file for divorce. It must be my sister-in-law who filed for it. Tell me honestly, did you hurt my sister-in-law's feelings? Otherwise, how could my sister-in-law, who has such a good temper, be unable to live with me and even register for divorce!"
"No." Qiao Shiyan couldn't bring himself to say it. He couldn't tell his sister that his marriage to Su Man was actually fake from the beginning, and that Su Man and he had no feelings for each other. "We are simply... incompatible in personality."
"We've already had a child, and you're saying our personalities aren't compatible! You're divorcing now, which is refreshing, but what about Doudou?"
Faced with his sister's questioning, Qiao Shiyan fell silent again.
Doudou wasn't his son at all, so what could he do? Divorce was easy.
Now Qiao Shiyan realized that in this relationship, Su Man was the one who had no worries and could leave at any time.
Why does he think Su Man can't live without him?
Why are you so confident that you are the best destination that Su Man can choose?
Because in his heart, he had already sentenced Su Man to a death sentence in terms of identity - second marriage and raising children.
He had never realized that this was what he was thinking in his heart. Now that he realized this, he was shocked by the darkness in his heart.
"Why do you feel that I'm sorry for her?" Qiao Shiyan suddenly asked.
Qiao Shixin said, "I've seen you and your colleague, Na, getting very close before. You have no sense of boundaries. My sister-in-law is sitting next to you, and you and Na are chatting about everything on the phone. If I were your sister-in-law, I'd mind it!"
Qiao Shiyan was stunned. Luna?
How could it be because of Luna?
"There's nothing between Luna and me." Qiao Shiyan immediately denied it.
"I'm sure you're fine. You're not a person without morals, but you've just been slow to learn. When girls approach you, you don't even know why. When someone asks you a question with a workbook, do you really think they're asking for advice? You're slow in this area, and as a result, your sense of boundaries in relationships is blurred, making it easy for people to misunderstand you."
"Misunderstand?"
"Yes! On the one hand, your female colleague will probably misunderstand that you are showing your affection. She will feel that she has hope and will cling to you even more. My sister-in-law will also misunderstand that you really have something going on with someone else."
"Su Man won't mind..." Qiao Shiyan said, and couldn't help but think of some things in the past.
He and Luna always talked a lot without realizing it.
Luna would check in with Qiao Shiyan on her phone every day, wishing him good morning and good night. As a result, after he and Su Man said good night and went back to their rooms, the last person Qiao Shiyan said good night to was Luna.
On weekends, when Luna goes out to play, she will also share it with Qiao Shiyan.
Once, Luna went to Disneyland, took a lot of photos, and bombarded Qiao Shiyan with messages, sending more than a dozen photos. When he clicked on it, Su Man happened to pass by and glanced at it casually.
Perhaps at that time, Su Man already had some grudges in her heart.
Not to mention, he conspired with Luna to help Luna give Suman a birthday present; and on the opening day, when Suman came to find him, Luna was helping him tie his tie and adjust his collar, and it seemed that they were getting a little close... I wonder what Suman was thinking, did Suman misunderstand that there was something going on between him and Luna?
Qiao Shiyan couldn't help but panic.
At that time, he even felt that Su Man's attitude towards Lu Na was too targeted. Because of Lu Na's few words, she felt a little dissatisfied with Su Man...
What the hell is he doing?!
He quickly asked his sister, "If you and your husband have no feelings for each other, but your husband is having an affair with another woman, would you mind?"
"What's your problem? You have no feelings for my sister-in-law?"
"Just answer me."
"Of course I mind! Even if there's no love between us, we're still husband and wife. You're still married to me, and you're letting this other woman come and act like a troublemaker in front of me. That's disrespectful to me!"
Qiao Shixin said she was addicted and wanted to continue teaching her straight brother, but it was her turn to take the exam.
"Brother, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I have to go take the exam. Don't be as dull as before and do nothing. If you can't bear to leave my sister-in-law, you should win her back. For Doudou, she will soften her heart! I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm really dead."
After that, the phone was disconnected.
Qiao Shiyan sat at his desk, lost in thought for a long time.
Luna knocked on the door and came in. "Lawyer Qiao, my friend got two concert tickets, but he said he didn't have time to go, so he gave them to me. Do you have time this weekend to go with me?"
Qiao Shiyan immediately thought of what his sister had just said to him.
He suddenly realized, when did his relationship with Luna become so close?
It's not like he and Luna hadn't traveled together before, but that was for work, to meet clients, or to go to court. When would they be able to go out together on their days off?
Not to mention that it's not right if you're married, even if you're not married, it's still very ambiguous.
What's more, Luna had clearly expressed her affection for Qiao Shiyan before.
Qiao Shiyan's face turned cold and he kept his distance from Luna. "I'm not going."
Luna's delighted smile was still bright and radiant. She didn't have time to stop herself and was just a little stunned. "Why? Did you have a date with someone this weekend?"
Qiao Shiyan looked at her, speaking each word with pause, putting some distance between himself and her: "I have a family, and I have to spend weekends with my wife and children."
The smile on Luna's face disappeared completely.
"Lawyer Qiao, you're suddenly like this... Did something happen? Did your wife say something about you? Did she misunderstand something?"
"There's no misunderstanding, and it's none of my wife's business. It's inappropriate for you, an unmarried woman, to go out alone with a married man like me. Luna, you should be more careful in the future. We should keep our distance."
Luna was stunned, her face turning red and white.
It was as if she was poured with cold water and humiliated, and the man was the one she admired.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
Qiao Shiyan added, "If any of my actions in the past have caused you to misunderstand, then I would like to apologize to you here..."
Before she could finish her words, Luna turned around and ran out of the office crying.
