Chapter 48: Why Don't You Lose Yourself?
Qiao Xu was held in his arms, and said with a helpless smile, "Why don't you make five cakes?"
Xu Si'an gently bit her cheek: "You think I don't want to?"
"I don't have that ability."
"hurry up."
Qiao Xu wanted to fulfill his desire for a sense of ritual. As she closed her eyes to speak, she heard the man whisper in her ear.
"My first wish for the month is that Xu Si'an can get back together with me."
Qiao Xu's eyes snapped open in disbelief: "How can you help someone make a wish like this?"
"No, this doesn't count."
Xu Si'an covered her mouth: "It can be calculated. It's all out there, and it can't be taken back."
"Hurry up, next one."
"Qiaoqiao, speak properly, or I'll make a promise for you again."
Qiao Xu remained silent, closed her eyes for a long time before opening them again and blowing out the candle.
"Honey, you need to tell me your wish so I can help you make it come true."
Qiao Xu urged him to turn on the light: "No, it won't work if you say it out loud."
Xu Si'an pinched her wrist with his thumb and forefinger: "Really not going to wear the bracelet I gave you?"
"I'll just buy you a new one if you lose it."
Qiao Xu cut a small piece of cake: "I won't wear it, but I'll keep it safe."
Xu Si'an collapsed to the ground, looking displeased: "I didn't buy you these things to just let them gather dust."
"Then tell me, who sent it?"
“My dad, but it doesn’t matter now, he’s gone anyway.”
Xu Si'an, who was leaning against the sofa, suddenly sat up straight: "Your father?"
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Qiao Xu took a bite of cake and put it in her mouth: "It would have been no use saying so earlier. It's already lost, and we can't find it anyway."
"I······"
Qiao Xu put down the cake spoon in her hand and looked into his eyes: "You took my bracelet?"
"No, I didn't."
"Huh?" She didn't believe it.
My bracelet disappeared right after I changed my clothes that day, and I can't find it anywhere.
"Give it back to me."
Xu Si'an's eyes darkened: "It's not on him."
"Xu Si'an, are you sick in the head?"
Qiao Xu's eyes reddened with anger; that was the only thing her father had left her.
"I saw it when I was packing my things that day."
"You're the one who told me that the person who gave you the bracelet is very important and that you love them very much, and I..." she said, feeling jealous.
Qiao Xu removed his hand from her waist and stood up: "Give me back my bracelet."
"I... I'll go back and look for it."
"You lost me? Xu Si'an, why don't you just lose yourself?" Qiao Xu was really about to cry now.
Xu Si'an hurriedly apologized, "Baby, I really didn't know."
"The clip was broken. I was planning to get it fixed before returning it to you."
"But so much has happened lately, I've forgotten."
Qiao Xu pushed him away, letting her tears fall onto her cheeks: "Forgot? You never intended to pay me back."
"Maybe you already threw it away."
Xu Si'an raised his hand and swore, "I didn't throw it, I really didn't. I'll go back and look for it now, don't cry."
Qiao Xu picked up the dog and was about to leave when Xu Si'an stopped her: "You can stay here and unwrap the gifts. I'll go back and find some for you, okay?"
"Get out of the way."
Qiao Xu stepped on his foot: "If you don't get the bracelet back, don't come looking for me again."
"I don't want you, so why would I want your gift?"
She said, "Why did you give me a bracelet that's almost exactly the same?"
Xu Si'an stopped her in her tracks: "Don't say that, I'll definitely find it, okay?"
Qiao Xu snorted coldly: "You can talk about it after you find it."
"If I can't find him, I'll go downstairs and apologize to my uncle."
Qiao Xu kicked him with all her might: "You're crazy, my dad doesn't want to see you at all."
Before leaving, Xu Si'an made sure to put the cake back in the refrigerator; it was one he had made himself.
Qiao Xu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, gently stroking the dog: "He's just that annoying, he always has been, and he still is."
When we were dating, I would refuse other people's gifts for her and throw them in the trash.
Now it's all right.
He found her bracelet but didn't return it, and then he lost her things.
The crime is compounded.
"Xu Si'an, you'd better be able to find him. If you can't, then get back together..."
"Maybe in the next life."
Xu Si'an rushed home and ransacked the place.
I've searched the living room, study, and master bedroom.
After taking a shower, Qiao Xu cuddled with the dog and went to sleep, while Cherry wriggled around in her arms.
Qiao Xu simply put it on the quilt.
“He has spoiled you rotten. If you keep moving around, you’ll have to sleep in the living room.”
Xu Si'an didn't sleep a wink all night; he practically pried open the villa's floorboards.
He slumped to the ground, feeling utterly helpless, trying to remember where he had put the bracelet.
That night, he took a shower, went downstairs to pick up the bracelet from the trash can, and then went back upstairs.
So where did he put it?
When Aunt Wang came to clean, she was startled and immediately called Xu Si'an.
Xu Si'an appeared on the stairs: "Aunt Wang."
"Mr. Xu, has your house been broken into?"
"No, I'm looking for something. Could you please tidy up?"
As Xu Si'an turned to go back to his room, he asked, "Aunt Wang, have you seen a platinum bracelet with a star pendant on it?"
Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "No, sir. Shall I look for it for you?"
"No need, I'll find it myself."
Xu Si'an took a shower and went to the company, where he met Qiao Xu in the parking lot.
She held out her hand: "Things."
"I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao, I couldn't find it."
Qiao Xu was furious and turned to leave.
She knew it.
Otherwise, they would have knocked on her door late last night.
"Don't be angry, I'll go back and look for it later, okay? I didn't lose it, I really didn't lose it."
Qiao Xu dodged his hand: "Never mind, it's not like I absolutely have to have it."
When investors are unhappy, the whole company becomes lifeless.
Xu Si'an kept replaying the scene in his mind.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu?"
Song Jia had called out to the person who was daydreaming for the nth time: "President Xu, the plan has been explained."
Xu Si'an flipped through the plan in his hand and pointed out the revisions in an orderly manner.
An hour later, he instructed Song Jia to cancel all of his plans for the day.
Qiao Xu sent him a message telling him not to bother looking anymore.
No, this concerns whether I have a wife or not.
Qiao Xu was helpless; this person really wouldn't listen to any advice.
Xu Si'an did not appear by the time he got off work.
Qiao Xu went to his apartment; the password to open the door was the same as that for the villa.
The flowers and gift boxes were still on the table. Qiao Xu opened them one by one, and one of them was a ring.
Judging from the style, it must be from a few years ago.
She took everything back to her own home and put it away, and then ate the cake from the refrigerator.
As Qiao Xu finished eating her cake and was about to go downstairs to move her things from the car back up, she received a call from Meng Zhe: "Xiao Xu, my mom said my aunt fell this morning. I have to go back to my hometown now. Do you want to come with me?"
Qiao Xu stepped out of the elevator. "Go, come pick me up, I'll wait for you downstairs."
She packed two sets of clothes and her personal belongings, and then patted Cherry's head.
"Mom has something to do, so I'll have your unreliable dad come pick you up later."
