Chapter 600 What About Me?
The final result was that Fu Xijing sent Xu Rushuang and Miki back to the hotel as Xu Rushuang had said. It happened that the hotel where the mother and daughter stayed was not far from Qiao Yunxue's apartment. Qiao Yunxue mentioned it to Fu Xijing, and Fu Xijing turned on the navigation and sent her downstairs.
"Then I'll go back first. Be careful on the road." Before getting off the car, Qiao Yunxue said goodbye to Fu Shanzhan and Fu Xijing.
Qiao Qiao was a little reluctant to leave Qiao Yunxue, so she opened her arms and hugged her, "Mom, I will miss you!"
Qiao Yunxue rubbed Qiao Qiao's hair and said, "Mom will miss you too. I'll take you out to play next weekend."
After making the deal with Qiao Qiao, Qiao Yunxue left with her suitcase.
Fu Shanzhan and Qiao Qiao sat in the back seat and didn't go up to see him off. Fu Xijing found it very strange and glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "Not going to see him off?"
Fu Shanzhan: "No, she definitely doesn't want me to send her off."
Fu Xijing thought about it and agreed. With him here, Qiao Yunxue would definitely feel embarrassed. In his impression, she was always quite restrained when she was with him. But this was normal as they were not familiar with each other.
As the car started, Fu Shanzhan asked Fu Xijing about him and Xu Rushuang. Fu Xijing became impatient and said to him, "You'd better take care of yourself."
Fu Shanzhan: "...I am doing this for the sake of family harmony."
Fu Xijing: "I have disliked her for a long time, this time it's because of Miki."
Fu Shanzhan: "Why didn't I realize before that you like children so much?"
After he finished sighing, he couldn't help but complain: "If you like it so much, why don't you just ask for one yourself? You have to give it to someone else. I really don't know what you are thinking."
Fu Xijing: "Can I have it if I want it?"
Fu Shanzhan: "What else?"
Fu Xijing: "I'm single."
Fu Shanzhan: "What's wrong with being single? Why don't you just have a relationship?"
Fu Xijing: "No one wants it."
Fu Shanzhan laughed, "You are really making a joke of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
If no one wants him, Fu Xijing, then other men are even less likely to want him. "You might as well just tell Xu Rushuang that she doesn't want you."
Fu Xijing didn't respond, and Fu Shanzhan took it as his tacit agreement. Sure enough, what he said before about not liking someone was just empty talk. He hadn't had a girlfriend for so many years, so how could he say he didn't like someone?
——
After Qiao Yunxue successfully joined the museum, she adapted for more than a month and her life gradually stabilized.
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
She has grown from twenty-five to twenty-eight, and compared to the past, she can be said to have been reborn.
In the past few years, she and Fu Shanzhan have not had as many big quarrels as before. The two of them take their children out together almost every week to celebrate Family Day. If there are activities at Qiao Qiao's school, Qiao Yunxue will go with them if she can take leave.
Apart from not living together, they are more in tune with each other than ordinary couples when it comes to children.
After three years of employment, Qiao Yunxue had accumulated enough experience and connections in the museum. Since there was not much room for promotion, she started to start her own business.
Although she had accumulated a lot of experience, Qiao Yunxue had not systematically studied business knowledge, so she started applying for EMBAs from several schools a few months ago, and finally chose Wharton among the offers.
It is not difficult to apply for this degree. As long as you pass the language test, the rest can be solved with money. The tuition is expensive, but you do need to study systematically before starting a business. This is a necessary investment.
Qiao Yunxue applied together with Lu Ye, but their study directions were different. Lu Ye's major was more towards marketing.
Qiao Yunxue did not discuss the school application with Fu Shanzhan, nor did she talk about it with him.
That day, after Qiao Yunxue submitted her visa application materials, she received a WeChat message from Fu Shanzhan:
Fu Shanzhan: [Can you get off work on time today? I'll take Qiao Qiao out for dinner.]
Qiao Yunxue glanced at the time and replied: [What time will you pick up Qiao Qiao?]
Fu Shanzhan: [Four points.]
Qiao Yunxue: [Let’s go pick it up together.]
Fu Shanzhan: [Aren’t you going to work today?]
Qiao Yunxue: [I didn’t go.]
Fu Shanzhan: [Have you driven yet? Do you need me to pick you up?]
Qiao Yunxue: [No need, let’s meet at the school gate.]
After sending a message to Fu Shanzhan, Qiao Yunxue went to a nearby shopping mall, bought some small gifts for Qiao Qiao, and took her to the kindergarten.
Qiao Qiao is about to enter the first grade of elementary school. She has learned more and more in the past few years. Qiao Yunxue doesn't want to hide the fact that she is going to study abroad from her.
The major she studied only lasted one academic year, and she had holidays during which she could fly back to see her, and they could make video calls on a regular basis. She explained all this to Qiao Qiao.
At 3:50, Qiao Yunxue parked the car at the pick-up point in front of the school. Just after turning off the engine and before she unbuckled her seat belt, the passenger door was opened from the outside.
Seeing Fu Shanzhan sitting up, Qiao Yunxue was surprised: "You came so early?"
Fu Shanzhan took the shopping bag from the passenger seat and examined it for a moment. "Is this a gift for Qiao Qiao?"
Qiao Yunxue nodded.
Fu Shanzhan: "What special day is it? Why give her a gift?"
Qiao Yunxue pondered for a minute or two, and after some consideration, she decided to talk about this matter with Fu Shanzhan first. This way, the two of them could cooperate with each other in front of Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Yunxue took a deep breath, looked at Fu Shanzhan, and said four words: "I resign."
Fu Shanzhan was stunned for a moment, thinking there was something wrong with his ears: "What?"
He remembered that she worked very hard at her job, and her emotions were always positive when they talked about her. Her colleagues and superiors were also very nice to her.
I really can't think of any reason to resign.
"What happened?" Fu Shanzhan asked with concern.
"Don't worry, it's nothing." Qiao Yunxue reassured him before slowly explaining, "At the beginning of the year, I applied for EMBAs at several schools. I received an offer two weeks ago, so I plan to study there for a year."
Fu Shanzhan frowned, "To start a business?"
Qiao Yunxue nodded.
Fu Shanzhan: "Which school did you apply to?"
"Wharton." Qiao Yunxue answered truthfully.
Fu Shanzhan's face froze, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "You're going to America?"
Just now she said she was studying for an EMBA, and he subconsciously thought it was also a class at P University. He didn't expect that she was going abroad.
"It's only a year. I'll be back soon." Qiao Yunxue said, "I'll come back to see Qiao Qiao regularly. She has a cell phone now, so I can chat with her."
"What about me?" Fu Shanzhan blurted out a question without having time to think.
These three words successfully silenced Qiao Yunxue.
As she fell silent, Fu Shanzhan's expression became more complicated.
The air pressure in the car dropped instantly, and even in the hot summer, it was so cold in the car that people got goose bumps.
"I'm sorry." After a long silence, Qiao Yunxue spoke with difficulty: "Fu Shanzhan, you'd better not waste your time on me anymore. No matter what your future plans are, find someone worthy of you."
"Is that all you have to say to me?" Fu Shanzhan laughed at herself when she said that. "I thought that after all this time, you'd be a little reluctant to let go."
