Chapter 114 Can I still find you?
Xu Si'an didn't dare to lift the dog away; if he did, his dog's head would be the next one to be lifted away.
"Honey, it's not suitable for it to sleep with us when it grows up. It will see things that are not suitable for children."
Qiao Xu rubbed Cherry's head: "It used to sleep with us quite a lot. Either you sleep with us, or you can go and sleep downstairs."
Xu Si'an turned off the bedside lamp and pulled up the covers: "Go to sleep then."
He deliberately kicked the blanket, catching Cherry off guard and forcing her to jump off the bed.
Cherry: Mommy, help!
"Xu Si'an, you threw my dog!!!"
"Honey, it jumped down by itself."
"Baby, smell me, don't I smell good!"
"Ugh~~~~Ugh ugh ugh!!!!"
Two days before the anniversary of Qiao's father's death, Qiao Xu took Xu Si'an and Chang Yi back to her hometown.
Chang Yi drove, while Xu Si'an lay on Qiao Xu's lap with her eyes closed, resting.
Being the president of [Anqiao International] is not as easy as being a star; a single project could result in losses of hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars.
Xu Si'an stayed up several nights in a row to finalize some of the larger projects on his hands.
Although Qiao Xu was his assistant, her night shifts were different from others.
"You should get some sleep; we won't be home that quickly."
Qiao Xu gently pressed his temples. She had always known that being a boss was not easy, especially for someone like Xu Si'an who had gotten to this point through his own abilities.
"Qiaoqiao, after we pay respects to our father, can we get married?"
Xu Si'an pulled her hand down and kissed it.
That's not enough.
With a long arm, he hooked her head down and kissed her.
"Ugh...please don't..."
Chang Yi, who was driving, saw two people kissing loudly in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
“I told you two that’s enough. How about I find a place to park so you can get things done first?”
What the hell is this? Luring single people in here to kill them?
They even picked a car without a partition.
Qiao Xu broke free from him: "Go sit in the passenger seat."
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss all day long, even when your lips are swollen.
Xu Si'an turned around and hugged Qiao Xu's waist: "No, President Qiao, please have me, considering I helped you earn 1 billion US dollars last night."
Qiao Xu: ······
Chang Yi muttered under his breath, "Shameless."
Xu Si'an was really sleepy, and he slept the whole way while hugging Qiao Xu's waist.
Qiao Xu sat stiffly without moving.
Xu Si'an woke up when they were almost at Qiao Xu's hometown.
"How long have I been asleep?" His voice still sounded languid and sleepy, and his hand instinctively rubbed Qiao Xu's waist.
"We'll be there soon."
He sat up and looked at the street outside the window, somewhat dazed.
The last time I was here was five or six years ago.
One Spring Festival, he quarreled with Xu's father and left home to look for Qiao Xu. When Qiao's mother opened the door, she was startled to see the boy covered in water vapor.
Only then did I realize that he had arrived before dawn, and dared not call for fear of waking Qiao Xu.
When Qiao Xu was woken up, she thought she had seen a ghost.
Seeing Xu Si'an frozen stiff, Qiao Xu cried and cursed at the same time.
"My aunt and uncle are here tonight too. It just so happens that my cousin and Rou Rou are getting married."
Chang Yi had been to the Qiao family's courtyard before, and he could find the right door without Qiao Xu's directions.
When they arrived, Meng Zhe's parents were cooking in the small kitchen in the yard.
The small courtyard of Qiao Xu's family was built by Qiao's father himself. It was a three-story house with a large courtyard, and the kitchen was separate in the small courtyard.
Compared to a large villa, this place has a more cozy feel.
"Xiao Qiao is back."
Qiao Xu got out of the car and greeted her neighbors, while Xu Si'an changed his lazy demeanor from the car.
Black casual pants and a beige sweater—he's a completely different person when he's the CEO of the company.
Chang Yi opened the trunk and started moving things out.
Qiao's mother came out of the house: "Oh dear, how many times have I told you? We have everything at home, why did you buy so much more?"
Qiao Xu stared dumbfounded at the fully loaded trunk.
He turned to Xu Si'an and asked, "Did you buy it?"
Do I look that stupid?
Chang Yi said, "Godmother, our family is getting a new member. When the neighbors come to visit, we can just send them out."
Xu Si'an's lips twitched. So, he, the prospective son-in-law, came empty-handed?
Meng Zhe's car arrived: "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Qiao's mother took Chang Yi's hand and said, "Xiao Yi, this is Xiao Zhe, your uncle's child, Xu Xu's cousin."
Chang Yi greeted him obediently, "Hello, cousin."
Meng Zhe felt a chill run down his spine. This child was acting strangely. Wasn't that the one with the eyes on the top of his head?
Xu Si'an originally thought he wouldn't feel awkward.
As a result, he was the only one at the table who felt awkward.
Chang Yi must have secretly eaten a jar of wild honey before leaving home; it's incredibly sweet.
Uncle comes, Aunt goes, Cousin and Cousin's wife are called.
He also receives red envelopes, he... he also gets them.
"Xiao An, when are you and Xu Xu getting married? When Xu Xu's father passed away, his biggest worry was that the person she would marry would treat her badly."
Xu Si'an quickly put down his chopsticks: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well."
“My parents aren’t here either. Qiaoqiao and I will live our own little life together. I definitely won’t let her suffer any grievances.”
Qiao Xu chuckled: "What if you make me feel wronged?"
Xu Si'an's world collapsed again: "How could I dare?"
Qiao's mother spoke up to smooth things over: "Xuxu, stop bullying my son-in-law."
“Xiao An, although our family is not extremely wealthy, we are considered well-off. Xu Xu has been spoiled by her father since she was a child.”
Qiao Xu buried her head in her food, listening to her mother talk to herself.
When Qiao's mother said, "Xiao An, before Xu Xu's father left, he told Xu Xu that she must find you and bring you back."
Xu Si'an was stunned for a long time.
He had never heard Qiao Xu mention this before.
After lunch, Qiao Xu was going to take Ye Yurou to town for a stroll, and told Xu Si'an to go back to her room to rest.
He did not refuse.
Qiao's parents truly loved Qiao Xu. She lived on her own floor in a room of about 30 square meters with a light blue princess bed.
One entire shelf is covered with photos of Qiao Xu, as well as many handicrafts.
Xu Si'an picked up the crooked little lamb in the middle of the shelf.
This was done by him.
Xu Si'an took off his clothes and lay down on Qiao Xu's bed. The bedding still had a faint smell of laundry detergent.
Before her father left, he told Xuxu that she must find you and bring you back.
This sentence kept appearing in Xu Si'an's mind.
Without him, what kind of life did Qiao Xu live during those four years?
He tossed and turned several times, reached under the pillow, froze for a moment, and then picked up the pillow.
A diary?
He sat up and dialed the combination lock on the notebook.
1231, it's open.
Xu Si'an turned to the first page, which was Qiao Xu's handwriting. The words were blurred, and there were traces of dried tears.
"I met his mother and his fiancée."
They said he was getting engaged and asked me to give them a million dollars to leave him.
I don't believe him; he wouldn't lie to me.
One million is a lot of money; it can be used to treat my father's illness, but I can't accept it. If I do, he will be angry, and my parents will be angry too.
I love him, I don't want to leave him, and feelings can't be measured by money.
[Si & He have a happy ending, don't worry!]
