No divorce! Mr. Lu knelt down and coaxed him every night.

The world seemed to stand still.

It was quiet all around, with only a beam of light cast by the crystal chandelier above their heads, enveloping them, just like it was enveloping the six years they had been together.

Six years, and not only hurt.

In fact, there are good times.

[Qiao Huan just needs to follow her brother all the time, Qiao Huan doesn’t need to know anything. 】

[No matter how good others are, it has nothing to do with me. ]

【Wait for me here, brother will be back soon. 】

……

The past surged towards Qiao Huan like a tide.

Drown her!

She looked at Qiao Jinfan's painful eyes and heard him say those three words to her for the first time. Originally, he planned to say these three words when they got married, but when he said these three words, she was already someone else's wife.

She is Zhao Xuelan’s wife.

Qiao Jinfan hadn't forgotten, and Qiao Huan couldn't have forgotten either. She lowered her head and looked at his palm, her voice very soft -

"It's too late, Qiao Jinfan."

"In relationships and marriage, the most important thing is not love or not, but whether it is suitable and tolerant. There is no right or wrong between us. It's just that you are moving too fast... and I can't keep up."

"Qiao Jinfan, I have also tried hard."

"I work very hard at painting. I hope that one day when I stand beside you, I am not useless. Others will not doubt your vision and think that we are not a good match. It's just that you only care about business. You can't see my efforts. You just think it's a way to kill time."

"The results of my hard work are not worth mentioning in your eyes. My greatest use to you is my sexual value..."

There are tears in Qiao Huan's eyes——

“I was in a lot of pain at that time.”

"Qiao Jinfan, in such pain, how much love can I still retain?"

……

She finally spoke her mind.

Four years after they separated, after she became Zhao Xuelan's wife, after there was no possibility for them to be together, she said these words -

No regrets for the rest of my life.

“Let go!”

Qiao Huan sighed softly, "It's not good to be seen."

Qiao Jinfan took a step forward: "Are you afraid that he will get angry if he sees you? Are you in love with him?"

"Yes."

Qiao Huan's lips trembled slightly, but her voice was unusually firm. She said it again: "Yes! I like him! If I didn't like him, I wouldn't marry him."

"You got married in xxx, and there was a bombing going on there. Don't tell me you still had the heart to talk about love at that time?"

“Emotions can be cultivated.”

"I like him."

"Qiao Jinfan, I like him."

……

Deathly silence.

Downstairs, Zhao Xuelan's voice sounded, very gentle: "Qiao Huan is gone."

Qiao Huan was suddenly startled.

She pulled her hand back and responded to Zhao Xuelan with a choked voice: "I'll be there soon."

When she looked at Qiao Jinfan again, she raised her left hand.

In his hand was the equity transfer document.

Qiao Huan said in a low voice: "This is 20% of the group's shares. I can't take it. I will transfer it to your name later. No matter how much Dad and Mom love me, they shouldn't let these shares fall into the hands of outsiders... I think this is very important for you to control the group. You have worked so hard for so long, I shouldn't take it away."

Qiao Jinfan glanced at Zhao Xuelan.

He then asked Qiao Huan: "Can't have it, or don't want it? Because you married Zhao Xuelan, you don't need these material possessions, and you don't need the Qiao family's protection anymore?"

"You know it's not!"

Qiao Huan didn't say anything else. She did not forget that Zhao Xuelan was waiting for her, and she did not forget that she was a married woman.

She was afraid that Zhao Xuelan would misunderstand.

But after she went downstairs, Zhao Xuelan didn't ask anything. He put his windbreaker on her shoulders and then buttoned it up one by one. The seemingly unintentional action revealed intimacy and possessiveness.

Qiao Jinfan just stood there.

He watched them living in harmony and loving each other, and he was like a pitiful third party who could not get the love he wanted. But it was obviously he who loved Qiao Huan first, and it was obviously he who was the man who accompanied her from her youth to maturity.

Qiao Jinfan was unwilling to give in.

Qiao Shiyan, the biological father, saw it all clearly. After sending Qiao Huan and his wife off, he went to look for his eldest son. Qiao Jinfan was leaning on the sofa in the living room, looking at a photo album. When he heard the footsteps, he just raised his eyes.

Qiao Shiyan sat down on the sofa opposite. He took out a cigarette box, shook out two cigarettes, and threw one to Qiao Jinfan: "Don't tell your mother, your mother doesn't allow you to smoke."

Qiao Jinfan said nothing.

Qiao Shiyan lit up a cigarette and took a few puffs with satisfaction. Soon, light blue smoke lingered around the two of them, making everything seem unreal.

In a hazy state, Qiao Shiyan spoke bitterly -

"Jinfan, I know you won't give up."

"But what can we do? Qiao Huan has brought her home. They are already a legal couple. No matter how much you like her or how unwilling you are to let her go, you can't break up her marriage... Besides, that person is not an ordinary person. He is Zhao Xuelan."

"Jin Fan, forget the past!"

"Let her go, and you'll also let yourself go!"

"You don't like Gu Mingzhu, so your family will help you keep an eye on her when you get back. Actually, Dad has his eyes on Chen Jiuyue, the eldest daughter of the Chen family. Chen Jiuyue is smart, capable, and pretty. Although Chen Anan, the second daughter of the Chen family, is a little dumber, she has a docile personality and will have less trouble as a sister-in-law in the future."

……

A "chi" sound.

Qiao Jinfan also lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. He didn't want to go on a blind date because he had not given up on Qiao Huan. He was waiting for her to get divorced and return to him.

But he didn't want Qiao Shiyan to be suspicious, so he flicked the ash with his slender fingers, squinted his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Isn't Chen Jiuyue another Gu Mingzhu? Dad, I have no interest in strong women. If you must meet someone, then Chen Anan! You just said she's very well behaved."

Qiao Shiyan looked at his son suspiciously: "Are you looking for a replacement?"

"how come?"

Qiao Jinfan leaned forward to put out the cigarette butt, looking dignified: "I just prefer those who are a little bit more well-behaved. Dad, didn't you just say that being a little bit well-behaved will lead to less trouble?"

"Really?"

Qiao Jinfan sneered: "What else?"

Qiao Shiyan was relieved. He stood up and patted his eldest son's shoulder: "I'll ask your mother to arrange dinner later. Hey, I have to tell Mr. Chen later that you are interested in their second daughter."

After Qiao Shiyan left, the living room returned to peace.

Qiao Jinfan came to the terrace. He stood in the dark, letting the night wind blow his black hair. He missed Qiao Huan under the bright moon. His heart was filled with bitterness and jealousy...

……

The black Bentley speeds through the night.

The car was very warm, but Qiao Huan did not take off the men's windbreaker. She felt very comfortable pressing her little face against the fine material because it had the scent of Zhao Xuelan.

Zhao Xuelan concentrated on driving and took the time to look at her.

He smiled faintly: "No wonder you like to hold someone in your arms while sleeping at night, just like a child."

Qiao Huan's face turned slightly red.

She leaned back in her chair and looked at him, and in a low voice she told him about the dowry given by her parents. She whispered that she could take the jewels, but she didn't want the 20% stake in the Qiao Group because it involved a huge amount of money. She felt that she had to tell him about this to show her respect for him.

Zhao Xuelan held the steering wheel and focused on driving.

He agreed with Qiao Huan's idea: "That's indeed too much! But Mrs. Zhao gave up such a large fortune for me, I have to show my appreciation. I will give you all the real estate and cash in my hands. You won't be idle."

Qiao Huan's face turned red.

She whispered, "I'm not doing this for you! I'm doing this for myself! I don't care about these material things the most. I can earn money to support myself."

She looks so cute when she is anxious.

Zhao Xuelan's heart was throbbing, but he hid it well and just smiled: "Then can Mrs. Zhao take care of me? Buy me two shirts for the changing season, ok?"

Qiao Huan said yes in a low voice.

He told her his shirt size again, and Qiao Huan wrote it down carefully, but Zhao Xuelan smiled again: "I really did that for no reason! You touched me again and again last night, you should know my size very well... Buy me two more pairs of underwear, Mrs. Zhao."

Qiao Huan: ...

Zhao Xuelan gently held her hand and asked her gently, "Are you feeling better now?"
