Chapter 170 Their Relationship
Xu Zhengnan would probably laugh at me too, but he just didn't say it out loud.
If our identities were reversed, if the person who did such a stupid thing back then was Xu Zhengnan, I would definitely be silently cursing him in my heart for having a mental problem.
This question seemed a bit difficult. After thinking for a while, Xu Zhengnan looked up at me.
Silence is better than words at this time.
He didn't have to say anything, I knew what his answer was.
"You think I'm ridiculous too, right?" I stood up, feeling embarrassed. "You don't have to come to see me specially. I'll be fine."
After saying that, I quickly walked upstairs. If I stayed any longer, I was worried that I would lose control in front of Xu Zhengnan and show my most broken side.
After returning to the bedroom, I locked the door, then lay down on the bed and began to cry. I had been thinking that maybe I should listen to Xu Zhengnan and return to my country to find my parents.
The phone call just now shattered the thoughts in my mind.
At this moment, I heard the sound of a car shutting down downstairs. I wiped my tears and walked to the balcony to look down.
It was the black car I had seen before. After the door opened, the strange woman got out of the car.
I suddenly felt annoyed. Why did she come again?
Thinking of what Ke Hua said, the landlord would come to deal with the woman's matter. Since Xu Zhengnan was the landlord, he would be the one to deal with it.
What is his relationship with that woman? I couldn't help but speculate.
The two didn't say anything, they just got into the car together, and then the car left the building and disappeared into the night.
I can be sure that Xu Zhengnan is not the kind of person who has chaotic relationships between men and women. If the other party really has an emotional entanglement with him, then he must have been sincere.
That woman...is she his girlfriend?
I made random guesses, and from time to time I overturned my guesses. In my confused thoughts, I fell asleep unknowingly.
——
The next morning, I went downstairs and saw Xu Zhengnan.
To my surprise, there were quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.
I remember that he doesn't smoke, and most likely he drank because he had to socialize. Why did he smoke so many cigarettes so early in the morning? Even the air was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke.
I feel a connection with that woman.
"Didn't you sleep all night?" I walked over and asked, because his dark circles were obvious.
"Yeah, I can't sleep." Xu Zhengnan saw that I got up. He put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray, then got up and opened the door to let the smell of smoke dissipate faster.
As he spoke, his brows knitted unconsciously, a sign that he was in a bad mood.
Someone who can make someone as emotionally stable as him feel bad is definitely very important to him.
I suddenly felt a little glad that I chose to leave after having sex with Xu Zhengnan, instead of shamelessly keeping in touch with him, thinking that he was still thinking about me and that the old feelings were still there.
Otherwise, this situation would make me seem very embarrassed and self-indulgent.
"You..." I hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't ask any more questions. It would be better for me not to interfere in Xu Zhengnan's emotional disputes.
I'm going to the kitchen to make something to eat and fill my stomach first.
At this time, the doorbell rang. Xu Zhengnan was there, so I ignored it. A minute later, I heard Xia Yu's voice, "What did you do? You look depressed."
"Nothing." Xu Zhengnan's voice was light.
Since Xia Yu is here, I can't just make two breakfasts, so I walked out and asked politely, "Xia Yu, have you eaten? Do you want to eat something together?"
When Xia Yu saw me, he was shocked, "Ms. Li, you..."
He seemed very surprised that I was here.
"It was all coincidence. I rented Xu Zhengnan's house by accident, and he saw me when he came back to take care of something, so..." I explained simply.
I was complaining in my heart, weren't you the one who made the complaint?
Otherwise, how would Xu Zhengnan know that I was in this city?
In fact, I suspected that it was he who asked Ke Hua to contact me and rent the house to me. After all, he had good intentions. There would be no point in questioning him about it.
Xia Yu has recovered and is smiling as usual, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence, Zhengnan is a mysophobe, usually when we go to his house, if we are not clean, he will kick us out, Miss Li, you have to be careful."
Xu Zhengnan has been a germaphobe since he was a child. His room is always spotless and his clothes are always clean and tidy.
I heard that living with someone with mysophobia would be very tiring, so I struggled with this for a while. What if Xu Zhengnan and I get together in the future and he can't stand my little flaws and I can't stand his mysophobia?
Later I realized that I was overthinking.
"Are you just here to talk nonsense?" Xu Zhengnan glanced at Xia Yu, "She and I have known each other since childhood, so she knows more than you do."
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, "Oh, childhood sweethearts, I understand."
My scalp tingles when I hear the words “childhood sweethearts”. Many people used this word to tease Xu Zhengnan and me in the past, but in the end we were nothing.
So I quickly went to the kitchen to avoid embarrassment.
While preparing breakfast, I vaguely heard the voices of Xu Zhengnan and Xia Yu, but I couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about. When I walked out, the two of them stopped the topic tacitly.
"It smells so good." Xia Yu praised the noodles I made.
I felt a little embarrassed and said, "My cooking skills are not that good, so you just have to make do with it."
Xia Yu was very considerate and ate a bowl of noodles with watery soup with great relish. Xu Zhengnan was not as fast as him, but he also finished everything.
When something you make is eaten up by others, your emotional value is immediately maxed out.
"Ms. Li, don't you plan to return to China and divorce Shen Yixiao? If he refuses to sign the divorce agreement, then you can only take legal action. If you keep dragging it out, it will not do you any good." Xia Yu suddenly asked me.
Xu Zhengnan also looked at me with a deep gaze.
I took a sip of the noodle soup, then took a deep breath and replied, "It's okay, just wait and see. I won't go back to China. I don't plan to find another partner anyway, so my marital status has no impact on me."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the air around me suddenly turn cold, as if I had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.
The cold air came from Xu Zhengnan's gaze.
Xia Yu was surprised and asked, "How old are you? Do you really plan to be single for the rest of your life? What a pity, there must be a lot of men who want to pursue you."
"Not getting married doesn't mean you won't fall in love for the rest of your life. Sometimes a marriage certificate is just a shackle that can't prove the relationship between two people," I replied.
Xu Zhengnan chuckled, "Really free and easy."
My face turned red and I was a little afraid to look at him.
Xia Yu nodded seriously, "Actually, what you said makes sense, but if you don't get divorced, Shen Yixiao will always find ways to find you and harass you, which will affect your relationship with the next person."
"There is no next one. I don't have any expectations for the so-called love. From now on, I just want to eat well, sleep well and make money. Life is not just about love." I said in the tone of a life philosopher.
