Chapter 13
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xiang Siling held her daughter's hand and got out of a Rolls-Royce. In front of them was the most expensive international kindergarten in the city. A young blond-haired, blue-eyed nanny followed behind them, carrying a child's schoolbag.
The foreign teacher at the door saw Qian Sitian and shouted, "Good morning, Angel!"
Qian Sitian replied: "Good morning, Catherine."
Xiang Siling squatted down and hugged her daughter: "Kiss mommy."
Qian Sitian kissed her mother hard on the face and smiled sweetly.
"Listen to the teacher. You must speak English in kindergarten. You can't speak Chinese. When you live in the future, all your friends will speak English."
"Okay... ah, OK, mommy."
Xiang Siling looked at his daughter for a while, took the schoolbag from the nanny and put it on her back, then patted her head and said, "Go."
The child rushed into the kindergarten like a fly, and only when her figure disappeared did Xiang Siling turn around and leave reluctantly. The nanny looked at her red eyes and said in fluent Chinese: "Si Ling, you can't bear to leave her."
Xiang Siling said: "Of course, she is the most precious treasure in my life."
The nanny added: "I still don't understand. Although a child's independence is important, Angel is still too young. Why are you willing to send her abroad?"
Xiang Siling pursed her lips, put on sunglasses, and sat in the Rolls-Royce elegantly: "Because only by staying away from here can she have a better future. When she goes abroad next month, she will rely on you to take care of her. If things go well..." She paused, "I will reunite with her soon. If not, I hope you will treat her well until she grows up. I will not treat you unfairly."
At noon, the car drove out of the Huayu Group headquarters and headed towards a top-notch restaurant with great privacy. Someone was waiting for Xiang Siling there.
There was only a small table in the box with two sets of tableware, but it was spacious enough for more than 20 square meters. Xiang Siling walked in, glanced at the man who was looking through the menu, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. The man had stood up and seemed to want to come over to greet her, but he stood there without moving.
Xiang Siling's attitude was much calmer than his. He walked to the table, sat down, flipped through the menu, and asked in a familiar tone: "Have you ordered?"
Qian Chengfeng stared at her still stunningly beautiful face, his Adam's apple rolled, and he replied, "No, I'll wait for you to order."
Xiang Siling smiled and did not refuse. She pressed the service bell and waited for the waiter to come. She ordered a few dishes and said, "Don't come in if we don't ask. We need to talk about things."
The waiter quickly backed out.
"How have you considered it?" Xiang Siling asked straight to the point.
Qian Chengfeng looked embarrassed: "I was suddenly asked to go to the United States. My English is not good, and my resources and connections are all in China..."
Towards
Qian Chengfeng looked into her eyes and asked, "What about you?"
Xiang Siling smiled and said, "Why, you care about me?"
Qian Chengfeng stared at her for a few seconds and said "hmm".
Xiang Siling's expression faltered for a moment, he took a sip of tea and said, "I'll come over after I finish dealing with things here. It's not like you can just leave a group this big."
Qian Chengfeng turned and asked: "I heard that you did something big a few days ago? You reported Li Meiling and cleared the name of your beloved."
"It's just selflessness. I'm a good citizen who respects and abides by the law."
Qian Chengfeng remained silent. He picked up the teacup and turned it around in his hands. He said, "I have been guessing about one thing."
"Then you'd better not ask."
"Did you kill Luo Hongmin?"
Xiang Siling sat up straight, her slender waist seemed to have the most tenacious strength. She folded her hands on her thighs, looked at him for a few seconds, and said, "What about you? What did you do seven years ago? You didn't answer me last time. Do you want to exchange secrets?"
Qian Chengfeng felt a little headache. If we say that more than four years ago, when Xiang Siling married him, she was still a silent, cold, and innocent woman. Now she is like a slender beautiful snake spitting out its tongue, which is both aggressive and charming enough to make people hard to resist.
He evaded the point by saying, "You know, in the live broadcasting of that era, everyone was messing around and had no moral integrity. I was not immune to this either. But we didn't do anything particularly excessive. Compared to others, it was nothing."
Xiang Siling sneered: "The police won't hold up a photo of a dead person and ask around just because you did a few harmless live broadcasts. Since we want to form an alliance for the sake of the child, you'd better be sincere and tell the truth."
Qian Chengfeng is a shrewd professional and he knows that Xiang Siling wants to find something to hold against him. But he is no longer the silly man who was so sincere to her when they got married. So he said, "We didn't do anything, except one time when we injured a policeman, and then the policeman ran away."
Xiang Siling secretly made note of this and stopped asking questions. He said, "The house in the United States is ready. You can move in normally after you go there. I have also contacted Tiantian's school, and she will have a nanny to take care of her. You just need to fulfill your father's responsibilities while developing the overseas territory."
Qian Chengfeng blurted out: "When will you come?"
Xiang Siling's answer was equally ambiguous: "I can't leave the country now. The police are always watching me. If I can get away with it this time, I will sell all of Huayu's shares and assets and come to the United States to reunite with you. If you are still willing at that time, our family of three can live like before. After all, this time, no one will come between us."
Qian Chengfeng looked shocked: "Are you willing to... get back together with me?"
Xiang Siling smiled and looked down at the table: "I said that I was really moved, fell in love with you, and wanted to be with you. You didn't believe it back then. Now, no one can control me, do you still not believe it?"
"No... I just..." Qian Chengfeng murmured. In the past few years, this woman has been far away from his life, and he thought he no longer cared about her. But at this moment he was surprised to find that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Aren't you close to Luo Huaizheng?" he said bitterly, "Why did you choose me over him? I'm not as handsome or young as him."
"Him." Xiang Siling sighed. Qian Chengfeng could see that she was really calm when talking about that man. She said, "To be honest, he was a dream of mine when I was a girl. During this period, I forced him to serve me and fulfill my dream. Nothing happened between us, not even a kiss. Didn't you have a crush on someone in your school days? Now I have no regrets or wishes in my life. It would be great to be able to go to the United States and live with you, but if not, I will always miss you with a good mood."
After saying that, she stood up, walked over, sat on Qian Chengfeng's lap, and kissed him. Qian Chengfeng was stunned for only a moment, then hugged her tightly. In this kiss, both of them used up all their strength, biting each other like wolves. Finally, Xiang Siling leaned in his arms, he raised his fingers to wipe away the tears on her face, and said: "I will go to the United States, promise you everything, and wait for you to come. Because I still love you."
