"Tsk! Are you crazy!" annoyed Qiao Xin, she immediately ignored Xiao Long and chose to sit with Xiao Cuan. Meanwhile, Xiao Cuan looked at Qiao Xin, who kept her face down. Xiao Cuan knows, no matter how much Qiao Xin tries to cover up if she isn't jealous or hurt, she can't because Qiao Xin's feelings are real. Qiao Xin loves Xiao Long. It's the truth.
"Qiqi, what Xiao Long said is true, he loves you very much." Xiao Cuan said.
"I am also a witness to all that, little sister Qiao Xin! Xiao Long really loves you. He's my best friend and we've been friends for a very long time, so no matter what happens and how Xiao Long feels I know it well and right, and Wei Wei's matter, you don't have to worry about it, sister Qiao Xin. That woman is just the past and will never be the future even until then," explained Li Xuan.
Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long, and then she smiled bitterly again. Even to save his pride in front of his grandfather, to make it look as if this marriage was genuine, Xiao Long even went so far as to put on a lot of skits, and Qiao Xin had no idea that this could happen with Xiao Long.
"I see, and I understand, grandfather, Mr. Li. So, if there's nothing to discuss, can I ask permission to return to the room? I'm so sleepy and I want to sleep."
Qiao Xin walked away, making Xiao Long follow Qiao Xin's steps perfectly, entered the room, then quickly Xiao Long pushed Qiao Xin's body gently against the wall and locked the petite body with both hands.
"Are you really not mad at me anymore? Is it true that you will no longer inhabit me? Did you really forgive me?" Xiao Long investigated. He just needed reassurance. He only needed an answer from Qiao Xin so that his constant roaring feelings would become more accurate so that the feeling of being afraid of losing would soon disappear.
"Have I ever been mad at you? Or have I ever inhabited you? Moreover, did I ever say that I am jealous of you, Xiao Long?" Qiao Xin said Xiao Long was silent because of it. "You certainly know how the points are in our marriage agreement. No love, no limiting privacy, let alone jealousy. Isn't it very clear that this contract marriage is just a sham? We must not use the heart, and for those who start to feel using the heart and then feel jealous, also start to lose with their feelings, then that person must withdraw from this contract marriage and leave. Isn't the content of our agreement like that? So, how can I break all the promises in the contract, Xiao Long? Besides, it's you and your ex, or any of your love affairs, I don't want to get involved, and I don't want to care."
Deg!
Xiao Long's heart seemed to stop beating, and he somehow felt that what he was fighting, for now, was only one-sided.
Was what Qiao Xin said true? Was it true that Qiao Xin didn't love him? Was it true that Qiao Xin was that indifferent to him? Was it true that Qiao Xin didn't care about him? However, how could Qiao Xin be this cold to him?
After what had happened, after what they had been through, and after what they had done together. Even the relationship, it's more than just holding hands, more than just hugging, more than kissing each other, and it turns out that Xiao Long only feels it himself, his love is only sided, he only claps his hands while Qiao Xin doesn't love him at all.
"You are lying," Xiao Long said in a voice that was almost shaking. The two hands that had been locking Qiao Xin's petite body seemed to grip firmly on the wall in front of him, his glazed gaze looking at Qiao Xin as if he wanted some clarity there. Meanwhile, Qiao Xin looked at those eyes with the same look. Yes, she's hurt too. But she also has to wake up from all the feelings that bind her, and Xiao Long doesn't do it with her heart, all the emotions Xiao Long has because of the chip in his brain, once the chunk comes out, Xiao Long will change like before. All the sweet, warm, and loving treatment Xiao Long gave was fake, all unreal, and so so fake. "We've done, even more, holding hands, sleeping in the same bed hugging each other, kissing, we've even made love. How come after everything we've done, you say like this? You said if you don't love me, Qiao Xin. I love you, I love you so much!" said Xiao Long, still trying to deny himself.
"Do you want to know what I was thinking back then? I only felt comfortable for a moment, I only felt the need for protection and respect for a moment, until finally everything just flowed, and haven't you also told me many times, that I have to act like a wife and treat this marriage as a real marriage? I try to be professional, and how can it be in a marriage that we never have sex with. Even those who were married and immediately divorced had also made love before. So, I consider it that way, at least a reward for what you and your family did for my family, for myself, and about all the facilities that I received. During your marriage with me, you never even exercised any freedom, you rarely went out and as a grown man you must have thought this too, I only did it because of that, because I don't want to torture you because of a relationship that is not serious,"
Xiao Long immediately released the lock of his hand, and now his hands fell perfectly. His chest ached, his smile seemed bitter. He had no idea that Qiao Xin would say all these things to him. A word that broke Xiao Long's heart for real.
"Not serious? You don't even take this relationship seriously? Then how can you play with my feelings like this, Qiqi!" Xiao Long snapped.
Qiao Xin couldn't help but hold her breath, and she looked at Xiao Long with a puzzled look as well. He had already smashed down a ceramic plate on Xiao Long's right side, which made Qiao Xin know that Xiao Long was furious at her.
"Is, is it because of Cheng?" Xiao Long said again, and he looked at Qiao Xin with that annoyed look. "Tell me, is it all because of Cheng? Was it because you two spent the night together drunk a while ago that you fell in love with him and intended to leave me this way, Qiqi!" Xiao Long shouted again.
Qiao Xin's tears immediately rolled down her cheeks in an authentic way, and she never thought that Xiao Long would be this angry. However, Xuan Cheng was the perfect reason for Xiao Long to stop acting so hurtful like this again.
"Yes, he is a good man. He is a very gentle and understanding man, with him I feel comfortable and happy," Qiao Xin replied.
Xiao Long clenched his fists perfectly, then he seemed to smile bitterly, and for the second time, the trauma came again from the same person. After Xuan Cheng snatched Wei Wei, the man who claimed to be his best friend dared to snatch Qiao Xin from him.
"Oh well, isn't that the kind of guy you're looking for? Not a rude and arrogant man like me."
After saying that, Xiao Long took his coat and walked out of the room while slamming the door very violently after saying that. Qiao Xin looked to her knees, then she just collapsed behind the door, crying so hard because of what had just happened, her hands shaking violently trying to cover up Qiao Xin very real.
While Xiao Long seemed to be walking towards his grandfather and Li Xuan, who was still waiting for him, he tried his best to remain calm and rubbed his face roughly, smiling as he approached his grandfather. He looked at Li Xuan as if he wanted to give a code for Li Xuan to come with him.
"Grandfather, Xuan, and I went away for a while, huh. Qiqi wants a hot pot and I have to grant her wish so she won't be angry anymore," Xiao Long allowed.
He just walked away, causing Li Xuan to immediately run after Xiao Long, while Xiao Cuan couldn't help but be silent. How could he not? He even knew very well that if Xiao Long had been crying, his still wet puffy eyes could never be fooled, his now glowing brown eyes would never be hidden, and Xiao Cuan knew that things weren't that easy.
Li Xuan caught up with Xiao Long's pace, and he took control of the steering wheel while Xiao Long stayed silent while resting his chin on his side. It was the first time Li Xuan had seen Xiao Long like this, and Li Xuan knew that Xiao Long's matter with Qiao Xin was not an easy matter.
"Did you have a fight with Qiao Xin?" Li Xuan asked in the end, and Xiao Long didn't answer. His thumb only played with his lower lip very real. "Xiao Long, it's the first time I've seen you like this, and I'm really really concerned, it's the first time you've cried because of a woman, even back then with Wei Wei, you looked so cold and not this broken. I really don't know how much you love Qiao Xin, but I suggest you calm down and be more patient.. After all, Qiao Xin's status is still your wife, you still have a lot of rights to it, you know."
