Chapter 116

Qin Xiang looked at Meng Huaiqing, as if to verify the truth of this sentence.

Nowadays, most people can fall in love and get married soon.

She actually heard of love without marriage in the 1980s.

It was a bit strange, even in Hong Kong a few decades later, people paid great attention to getting married and having children with equal status. Now she heard such words from the mouth of a big boss in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Meng Huaiqing looked like a person who was self-disciplined and had a strong sense of career. He didn't seem to be looking for a simple bed partner. If he was short of women, he could just wave his hand and many celebrities would let him choose. Why bother to waste time and effort on her?

Meng Huaiqing still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely serious. "Marriage is indeed a testimony of mutual love, but it is not the only destination of love. As long as two people are happy and sweet, what does it matter whether they get married or not, whether they have children or not."

Qin Xiang looked at him and smiled, "I didn't expect you to think this way. Don't the wealthy families in Hong Kong like you pay the most attention to inheritance?"

Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing shook his head and said seriously, "That's them. I'm different. I have mainland blood in my body. And I was not born in anticipation, nor was I the fruit of love between husband and wife, so I don't have a deep obsession with whether I have children or not. What I have always sought is a person who can truly love me, hold my hand and grow old with me."

Looking at him, Qin Xiang was unable to answer for a long time.

After a while, Qin Xiang finally spoke, "You know, I was married before."

"I know." Meng Huaiqing looked at Qin Xiang, without pity or sympathy, just looking at her as usual, but with a hint of love that had been hidden before, "You are so good, I will also do what you are sorry for you, but your ex -husband. "

Meng Huaiqing suddenly smiled," I suddenly grateful him, if there was no mistakes, I might not meet such a good you, how could I have the opportunity to pursue you. "

Qin Xiang raised his

eyebrows." The charm of exudation is also more charming. "If you want to beat, there is no problem. Sometimes the physical contact can deepen the relationship between the two. I don't mind approaching you in this way."

Qin Xiang did not answer this, and then it was like a scolding. She also appreciated

her. Whether she looks or personality, she has grown on Qin Xiang's aesthetics.

But now she is really busy, alternating between career and study, and she doesn't have enough time. If she has another boyfriend, it will not be enough for her to have three boyfriends at once.

Meng Huaiqing didn't feel surprised or regretful. She nodded and said, "I'm busy too. The mainland is underdeveloped and it's not easy to develop."

"Then you..."

Meng Huaiqing looked at her gently, his tone firm, "I told you so much not because I want to get any response now. We are still young and have a lot of time. It is the time for us to work hard. Feelings are a natural thing. Maybe one day we can't be together, or maybe we are together because we love each other. Just give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, and don't reject my approach."

Qin Xiang looked at him and smiled for a long time, "Okay. Let it be."

Meng Huaiqing was already very satisfied to get these words. At least this was a big step forward. Can Jie Zong get such a response? I'm afraid not. Qin Xiang had been emotionally traumatized and was not willing to enter into a marriage. What she needed was a love that could heal her wounds and allow for equal dialogue, rather than an immature little wolfdog who needed her to work hard to coax him.

So after Meng Huaiqing spent that anxious period and figured it out, he no longer guarded against Jie Zong as an opponent.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Meng Huaiqing said, "You're going back to the capital the day after tomorrow? I'll ask someone to help buy the tickets."

Qin Xiang did not refuse, after all, plane tickets were really hard to buy, "Okay, I'll pay for it then."

Meng Huaiqing did not refuse, Qin Xiang had no shortage of money for the plane ticket, and if he argued over these trivial matters, he would lose more than he gained.

What lovers need is mutual understanding and respect.

Of course, this was just his inner thoughts, and he still had a long way to go if he wanted to get into Qin Xiang's heart.

Nowadays, keeping a safe distance is the best way to get close.

It was indeed late, and Qin Yang had been waiting at the door of the store.

The two returned to the door of the store and saw Qin Yang's dark face very clearly.

Facing the dark face of the third brother, Qin Xiang actually had a feeling of being caught in a premature love affair.

A little embarrassed.

Qin Xiang said, "Third brother, why haven't you slept yet."

"Go to bed."

Qin Yang said to Qin Xiang and stood there without moving. Qin Xiang nodded to Meng Huaiqing and then went upstairs.

After washing up, Qin Xiang lifted a corner of the curtain and saw Qin Yang and Meng Huaiqing standing a little further away. I don't know what the two said. Qin Yang's face seemed to be darker, and Meng Huaiqing was still the humble gentleman with a normal expression. Standing under the street light, the whole person was a little bright.

Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. The third brother had also become a coward. Standing so far away, he couldn't even eavesdrop.

He simply stopped looking and lay down to sleep.

He was really sleepy at this moment. He fell asleep soon after lying down. He didn't know when Qin Yang came back.

The next morning, when Qin Xiang got up, he saw a little ball in the living room. Little Nian Nian saw her aunt coming out and rushed over. "Aunt."

Qin Xiang picked up Nian Nian and said in surprise, "Nian Nian has gained weight."

Not only did she grow taller, but she also had more flesh on her face. She looked much better than before.

Qin Juan came out of the kitchen and smiled, "This girl can eat, sleep and run now, so she has gained weight and grown taller." "Is she

going to the nursery?" Qin Xiang sat down with Nian Nian in her arms and took a fried dough stick.

The fried dough sticks are crispy and still hot, accompanied by eggs and soy milk, this kind of breakfast is the most delicious.

Qin Juan sat down next to him, "He goes to school. He goes to the nursery during the day. Aunt Liu goes to pick him up in the afternoon. He eats at his house every day. In the evening, Qin Zhen closes the store and I go back to take care of the child. It's still busy."

Qin Xiang thought for a while, "It's still too tiring. I think it's better not to set up a stall at the night market. It's not bad to run the store. I can come here to set up a stall during the winter and summer vacations when there's no one there."

But Qin Juan hesitated and refused, "I think it's good now, I can handle it, you have a lot of things to do, don't worry about my things here."

Qin Juan now has her own ideas, Qin Xiang asked a few questions and then ignored it.

She remembered after eating breakfast, "Why didn't I see the third brother?" "He

went out early in the morning, saying that he went out to look at the shops. I guess the third brother also wants to open another store by himself."

Qin Xiang was stunned, "It's also good. You know, I shared this store with him, but he didn't want the one in the university town. In this case, it's good for him to try something else when he has time."

Qin Juan said it and didn't say anything else. She opened her own halal shop and made money. She straightened her back and had a lot of ideas in her mind that she didn't have before. The third brother and the youngest sister are both capable people. She can't help much, so she should just take care of herself and not cause trouble to the third brother and the younger sister.

"Let's have dinner together in the evening." Qin Juan wiped Nian Nian's mouth after breakfast. "I won't go out to the stall in the evening. At least we can celebrate the festival together."

After Qin Juan reminded her, Qin Xiang realized that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She thought about it and said, "Okay, let Qin Zhen come too, just here."

After breakfast, Qin Juan took Nian Nian away. Nian Nian was a little reluctant when she left, but Qin Juan was not used to her. She had to go to the nursery.

Qin Xiang intended to let Nian Nian stay here, thinking that she didn't want to take care of the child when she had a rare free time, so she didn't say anything.

Qin Xiang went downstairs to entertain customers with others when she had nothing to do. Miao Xiaofeng looked not in good spirits, and she didn't know if she was unhappy because of what happened yesterday.

Qin Xiang was not used to it, so she went over to ask her directly, "How are you going to entertain customers in this state?"

Miao Xiaofeng hung her head and refused to speak.

Qin Xiang frowned, "If you still have this attitude, then don't come to work."

Hearing this, Miao Xiaofeng suddenly looked up, "Boss..."

Qin Xiang frowned, she looked around and whispered, "Xiaofeng, we have been together for a long time, you should know my temper and attitude. I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. I don't object to you liking my third brother. If he likes you too, then I won't say anything against it, and I will even congratulate you. But you also know that my third brother has no such intention towards you, so why do you have to insist on him. Don't you feel ashamed of making yourself like this for a man?"

Miao Xiaofeng couldn't raise her head because of what she said, and began to wipe her tears, but she refused to speak.

Qin Xiang's last bit of patience was exhausted. "I'll give you one last chance. Go back and rest for a day, and come back tomorrow. Don't think you can relax when I'm not here. That's impossible."

After that, Qin Xiang went to entertain the guests. When she looked up, she saw Zhao Qian and Jie Zong's mother Wen Yanan coming over.

"Zhao Qian, hello, Aunt Wen." Qin Xiang greeted them warmly. Miao Xiaofeng wiped her tears, lowered her head and packed her things to go back.

Li Hongxia was puzzled, "Sister Xiaofeng, where are you going?"

"It's none of your business." Miao Xiaofeng shook off Li Hongxia and left directly.

When she went out, she ran into Zhao Qian head-on. Zhao Qian smiled good-temperedly, "Xiaofeng..."

Miao Xiaofeng glared at her fiercely and walked out directly.

Zhao Qian was puzzled, "What happened to her?"

Qin Xiang was also unhappy, "Nothing, she's not feeling well, I asked her to go back and rest."

"Oh, so that's the case." Zhao Qian didn't appreciate it, and turned around and said, "Jie Zong didn't come back during the holiday. Aunt Wen knew you were coming back, so she wanted to ask if she could bring some things over."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course, my third brother will see me off to the plane tomorrow, so it's convenient to bring it."

Wen Yanan handed over a small luggage bag, "He forgot to bring it when he left before. It's his favorite piece of clothing, and two of his favorite books. Sorry to bother you, Qin Xiang."

Qin Xiang smiled. "No trouble."

As she said this, Zhao Qian couldn't help but look at the new styles in the store.

Wen Yanan looked around the store and saw that there were not many people. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Qin, can we talk?"

Qin Xiang was startled, then nodded, "Sure. Come upstairs with me."

Qin Xiang said hello to Li Hongxia and took Wen Yanan upstairs. Wen Yanan sat on a stool in the living room and looked around the house. Qin Xiang went to pour her a glass of warm water. "Aunt Wen, do you want to ask about Jie Zong's school?"

Wen Yanan nodded. "Yes, it's been more than a month since the start of school, and he has only called us a few times. This is the first time he has left us and we are really worried."

"It's normal. Not to mention the parents, some children themselves may not be able to adapt. Even though they are college students, they are so far away from home. Some of them cried secretly at night when school started." Qin Xiang pushed the cup over, looked at Wen Yanan and comforted her, "But Jie Zong should be able to bear it well, so you and Director Jie don't have to worry."

Wen Yanan smiled and asked some more questions about Jie Zong. Qin Xiang shook her head, "Auntie, he and I are not in the same major. , we don’t have many opportunities to meet each other normally, and I’m not sure about his current situation. He should have called you, you can ask him directly. "

Wen Yanan frowned when she heard this, she looked at Qin Xiang and asked tentatively, "Qin Xiang, Auntie knows you are a good child and admires you very much, what do you think of Jie Zong?"

Qin Xiang was stunned, and became alert in her heart, "Jie Zong is a very good young man, I think he treats him as a younger brother."

"Brother?" Wen Yanan understood what Qin Xiang meant just by hearing this. Her son was too enthusiastic and fell in love with Qin Xiang, but she only treated him as a younger brother.

At this time, Wen Yanan finally understood why her son was depressed when she called, maybe he was so disappointed because his confession was rejected.

Wen Yanan looked at the girl in front of her with complicated feelings.

From the perspective of an educator, she admired Qin Xiang very much, and her husband also praised Qin Xiang highly. The couple was also quite satisfied with Qin Xiang's behavior.

Even when their son showed too much interest in Qin Xiang, they did not show any resistance or opposition.

But they did not expect that they would reject their son so easily.

Not being disgusted is one thing, but being disgusted by one's own son is another.

At this moment, Wen Yanan felt very uncomfortable.

Because she felt that her son was good enough and worthy of Qin Xiang.

Wen Yanan pondered for a moment and said helplessly, "That child is a bit stubborn. Sometimes he will like someone or something forever, just like the thing I asked you to bring this time, it's something he has liked for a long time."

Qin Xiang understood her intentions thoroughly and said with a smile, "People and things are different. If we like a piece of clothing, we just buy it and wear it. If we like an item, we just buy it. As long as we like it, it's fine. But people are different, especially men and women. It's not enough for us to like something, the other person must like us too. This can't be forced, don't you think?"

Wen Yanan breathed quickly. After a few pauses, she suppressed her unhappiness, "You're right. It's really hard to force relationships."

She looked up at Qin Xiang, then smiled, "You're a few years older than Jie Zong. You're in college now, so it's time for you to find a partner. Otherwise, all the good ones will be picked up."

Qin Xiang felt unhappy after hearing this, "Finding a partner is not like picking carrots. If someone is easily picked up, then forget it. Besides, I'm busy with business and studies every day, so I don't have the mind to find a partner for the time being. I can live well on my own, so why should I find a partner to be a burden to me?"

Wen Yanan said, "But a woman should always have someone to rely on."

"Like you?" Qin Xiang looked at Wen Yanan and said, "Even if you are already the vice-president, you still have to wash clothes, cook and serve your husband and children after you go home. Is this happy?"

Wen Yanan was speechless. She stood up and said, "I have something else to do at home, so I will go back first."

Qin Xiang did not try to keep her and sent her downstairs. "Don't worry, I will definitely hand the things over to Jie Zong, and I will also bring your care and thoughts for him."

"Okay, thank you."

Wen Yanan went downstairs with a stiff voice. Qin Xiang politely sent her out. Wen Yanan saw Zhao Qian still picking clothes and said, "Xiao Qian, I'm going back first, you take your time to pick."

Zhao Qian didn't see the person she wanted to see, and didn't want to leave at this moment, so she nodded, "Okay, Aunt Wen, please go slowly on your way."

Wen Yanan responded randomly. After Qin Xiang opened the door, she came out and saw a Mercedes-Benz parked outside. Wen Yanan couldn't help but think of the rich man from Hong Kong next door that Jie Zong had mentioned. It seemed that

he was talking about the one in front of him. "Principal Wen, take care."

Wen Yanan seemed to be unaware of Qin Xiang's change of address. Suddenly, she turned around and asked her, "Qin Xiang, Auntie has a question for you. Is it because of this boss that you refused Jie Zong?"
