CEO and CEO (V) Should I... like her...
After the rose rain, we parted on bad terms.
Later, my confession and pursuit became known to the whole world.
He never appeared in front of me again.
I don’t know if it was because he finally gave up trying to convince me, or because the subsequent courtships didn’t affect other people’s lives.
I won't change because of a few words from him.
It's just because he reminded me that seeing blood at a happy event is indeed not auspicious.
This time, we met again, and I wonder what he would say that I would not like to hear.
I selfishly wanted to maintain this quiet and cozy environment for a while longer, so I didn't say anything.
He didn't speak either.
So we just sat there in weird silence.
The atmosphere is strange, yet oddly harmonious.
This went on for about half an hour, and he suddenly said, "I should go now."
He put down the empty coffee cup and was about to get up and leave.
"Wait." I stopped him with a smile, "You came here just to have a cup of coffee with me?"
He smiled and said, "You know everything I want to ask and say, and I also know you won't change your answer."
Yes, I know.
He also knew that I would not change my mind.
I looked at him and smiled, "You didn't even give a reason."
He told me not to fall in love with Xu Xia Xia, but he didn't even tell me the reason.
As a partner whom I am not familiar with and even somewhat hostile to because of different ideas, why should he interfere with my ideas with just a few words?
I secretly hoped that he could tell me the reason, even if he just said that he liked Xu Xia Xia.
“…I can’t say.”
He smiled, turned around and waved at me, "Goodbye."
I stood there in a daze.
It's hard for me to describe him at this moment.
His smile seemed to hide a lot of things, including sadness, despair, struggle, and life. These invisible things made up the him in front of me.
He clearly said goodbye, but it sounded like he was saying goodbye forever.
After that, I never saw him again until the eve of my wedding ceremony with Xu Xia Xia.
…
Marrying Xu Xia Xia was a decision I had considered carefully.
Xu Xia Xia is kind, strong, capable, smart, and beautiful. She is a very wonderful girl.
It doesn't matter if your family background is a little bit poor. In my eyes, whether you are worth hundreds of billions or a beggar on the street, there is no difference in your wealth. Compared with me, they are just a drop in the ocean.
I value her more as a person.
And she is one of the rare people who doesn't make me feel bored when she has skin contact with me.
Marrying her would probably be the best choice.
And, I love her.
She is so beautiful, it is natural to like her.
Thinking this way, I decided to marry her.
Of course the wedding ceremony must be grand to tell everyone that we are married.
I asked many designers to assist Xu Xia Xia in designing her dream wedding.
It seemed like the whole world was busy and happy about our wedding.
I'm so happy we're getting married.
I received a lot of blessings from people.
I don’t know why, but I always think of Mr. Lu, whom I never met again after that.
Mr. Lu’s company also sent a blessing greeting, but in the name of the company, not from him personally.
I feel like there's a void in my heart.
Sometimes when I lie in bed and look at the faint moonlight shining through the window screen, I would think of the afternoon when I parted with him.
Being around him, there is no sense of being constrained everywhere.
How strange.
I am the man who controls the lifeline of the global economy and stands at the top of the world.
Why do we feel constrained?
I can only attribute this to the loss of a close friend.
This is the best way to explain the inexplicable emptiness in my heart.
Three days before the wedding, Xu Xia Xia suddenly called me. I rarely heard her speak to me in such a panicked tone.
She cried and said in panic, "I, I killed someone!"
Killed someone?
I frowned and quickly rushed to the place she mentioned.
When I arrived, the police had finished questioning her and the ambulance rushed over.
The policeman saw me and came up to me with a smile, "President, this man crossed the road and hit your fiancée's car. She's dead. It's all his fault. It has nothing to do with your fiancée. Don't scare Miss Xu."
Without waiting for me to ask, he had already told me everything and made the final conclusion.
Of course I knew that the police would not take her away, and the so-called questioning was just a formality, and they were trying to come up with a more comprehensive way to exonerate her.
This is the law of this world.
This is also one of the meanings of my taking the highest position.
Various "accidents" happen in this world every day, and justice always stands on the side of those in power.
However, I have always considered myself a benevolent superior, so for such accidents, I usually give the victim or his family sufficient compensation.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Have you found out the identity of the person who was hit? Although he was the one who disobeyed the rules and crossed the road first, after all, death is the greatest thing, and I plan to give his family some compensation."
The police officer smiled and complimented me, “You are such a kind person.”
"His parents are still alive, and he has a younger brother who is in poor health. His brother's illness requires a lot of money. His parents are ordinary workers, and he basically provides the household money. He opened a company..."
Following the police officer's voice, I looked at the person who was hit to death by Xu Xia Xia.
He was wearing a simple white shirt and trousers. His waist and abdomen were deformed by the collision, and the white shirt was stained red by the blood he vomited.
He must have died in great pain. When he was knocked flying, he must have suffered secondary injuries and his skull was deformed.
His face was turned to the side, and from this angle I couldn't see what he looked like.
But I don't know why, looking at his figure, my heart beat faster and faster.
I was obsessed with seeing his face.
One step, two steps, three steps...
I saw his face.
The face was twisted and deformed, with blood coming out of the mouth and nose and the lenses broken.
It doesn't look decent at all.
This disgraceful face actually belongs to Mr. Lu.
I curled the corners of my mouth and found it a little funny.
I wanted to ask him if he agrees with my theory a little more -
You see, this is how society is. Because I stand high enough, I won't have to bear any punishment even if my fiancée hits you to death.
But this mouth that always uttered words that I didn't like could no longer say anything negative.
There was actually a smile on his face, as if he knew I was coming and was mocking me in advance.
I don't know whether he is mocking himself or these ridiculous social rules.
Disorderly, lawless, society.
The large amount of blood on his chest stung my eyes. I blinked and felt a breeze blowing, and I felt a little cool at the corners of my eyes.
A great feeling of suffocation enveloped me.
Worse than before.
I could hardly breathe.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
I heard Xu Xiaxia's anxious voice, I lowered my head and saw her soft and anxious face——
Suddenly, I felt that her touch made me feel extremely disgusted.
So I subconsciously shook off her hand.
Facing her stunned look, I lied. I asked the bodyguard next to me to hold me up, and apologized to her, "I have low blood sugar. Don't put pressure on you."
The astonishment on her face turned back into concern for me.
I closed my eyes and gave instructions, asking the bodyguard to help me back to the car.
In front of my eyes, Mr. Lu’s blood-stained shirt and Xu Xia Xia’s face appeared alternately.
How strange.
Why do I suddenly not feel any liking for Xu Xia Xia?
I covered my forehead and tried hard to recall the feeling of being fascinated by her before, but to no avail.
I should like her.
I should like her!
She is gentle, tough, kind, and beautiful. She deserves my love. She...
I can list many of her strengths.
But the conditions for being liked are set for people you don’t like.
I should like her.
Should I... like her?
