On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

"When can we get the divorce certificate?" Huo Hangfan asked.

"I'm not in a hurry." Chu Xixi crossed her arms and looked at Huo Hangfan for a while, "I hope you can resolve our relationship beautifully."

Huo Hangfan's eyes flashed with panic. "I don't know what you are talking about. Since you are busy, I will come another day."

"etc!"

"Is there anything else? I have to meet a client later."

"Let me meet the client, I'll go with you."

"..."

When she walked out the door, she suddenly felt something was wrong. "Where is your studio? It's been so long and you haven't finished it yet?"

Huo Hangfan suddenly stopped, looked into her eyes, and said slowly,

"I don't know either. I just followed my brother's instructions..."

"What?"

"Why he kicked you out of the studio, I don't know."

Her pupils trembled.

"..."

The sun shone through the window of the Civil Affairs Bureau and onto Chu Xixi's face. She felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether she should feel relieved or hasty about her decision. She looked up at Xu Yuanmo, the CEO of CR Group, who was looking at her with an unpredictable expression.

"Xixi, are you sure?" Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and gentle, as if in the face of this decision, even if he had the power of the entire business world, he was willing to submit to her choice.

Chu Xixi bit her lower lip lightly, and countless complex emotions gathered in her heart, which finally turned into one sentence, "I...I'm sure." Although her voice was a little trembling, her eyes were extremely firm.

Xu Yuanmo looked at her as if she was ready to face everything bravely, and an inexplicable throbbing arose in his heart. He stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to pass all the warmth and sense of security to her.

At this time, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Huo Hangfan was pacing back and forth anxiously with an anxious and uneasy heart. His expression showed both his reluctance to part with Chu Xixi and his fear of losing her completely.

"Chu Xixi, are you really so heartless? Is the relationship between us not as good as your decision to get married to that man in a flash?" A trace of panic flashed through Huo Hangfan's heart. He couldn't believe what was in front of him, and his whole body was shrouded in a huge shadow.

But Chu Xixi seemed to have let go of that relationship completely, and all her entanglements and distress with Huo Hangfan were like passing clouds.

"Xu Yuanmo, are you...are you really willing to marry an orphan like me who has no relatives and only a talent for design?" There was a hint of uncertainty and expectation in her voice.

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, that smile was full of tenderness and determination, "Chu Xixi, in this world, to me, you are the most special person. I am willing to use all of me to protect and cherish you."

Just as Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo, the unexpected couple, were undergoing an extremely solemn ceremony, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door broke the tranquility.

Zhao Xueer rushed in breathlessly, with resentment and jealousy on her face, and her eyes shot straight at Chu Xixi, "Chu Xixi, you are so anxious to marry someone else, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

Xu Yuanmo held Chu Xixi's hand tightly, as if silently telling her that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would always be by her side. Chu Xixi raised her head and looked at Zhao Xueer firmly. She was about to make a decision that would catch everyone off guard...

"I've beaten you and scolded you. Are you angry now?" Xu Yuanmo rubbed her wrist. Chu Xixi looked at him and felt a little warm in her heart.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"I just said it, get the certificate."

"Who are you kidding? I'm not a beauty. You can always find another woman to marry. Why do you want me? Anyone you catch on the street can make more money than you." Xu Yuanmo smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and moved closer to her. "My subconscious tells me that I like you very much. I don't know why. Subconsciousness has nothing to do with gains and losses."

She moved away awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. On the contrary, I will give Huo Hangfan a firm handle this time so that he can no longer stir up trouble."

Chu Xixi was a little bit unbelievable. She stared into his eyes carefully and found that he was not exaggerating. For some reason, she was moved by what she heard.

Xu Yuanmo opened the door and walked beside her, "Let's go, I promise to teach him a profound lesson."

"You are really efficient." Chu Xixi raised her eyebrows.

"If you keep procrastinating, you will be led by others by the nose." He paused, "Do you want to make money?"

"..."

"Considering returning to the company you originally belonged to?"

"Oh?" Chu Xixi couldn't help but look at him and smile, "Who are you?"

He got into the car faster than her and smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."

"OK."

In the afternoon, in the CR Group conference room, Xu Yuanmo ended the meeting early.

"Bring Chu Xixi to my office in ten minutes."

"OK."

"Wait a minute," Xu Yuanmo looked at the executives in the conference room, "Except for the heads of each department, let everyone else go out."

"OK."

"Come in."

There was a knock on the door. Xu Yuanmo looked up and saw Chu Xixi standing at the door.

"Chu Xixi, Chu Xixi... I finally realized that your last name is Chu, and you are best friends with Li Yuanyuan. Could it be that... you are the daughter of Dean Li?" Huo Hangfan shouted in a lost voice.

It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. Once he did, everyone looked at him like he was a piece of dirt.

"Dean Li? Isn't Dean Li's last name Li?" Chu Xixi was puzzled.

"you do not know?"

"Know what?"

"Dean Li's best friend, her best friend, is surnamed Chu, and Chu has a daughter, that's you!"

"We all remember what happened back then. Dean Li was abandoned by that shameless man. She had a child before they even got married."

"Dean Li was devastated. In order to find a suitable environment for the child, he had no choice but to entrust the child to Dean Li for raising. He waited until he found a job before taking the child over."

"No wonder you keep asking about the dean's past. It turns out you knew about it. You are actually an illegitimate daughter. I was wondering why you are so difficult to deal with..."

Obviously, as an outsider, Huo Hangfan was the one who knew this secret earlier than them.

Chu Xixi frowned, "I only know that Dean Li had a close friend who died young and left behind a child, but she didn't say that the child would take my last name. Why did you mislead me?"

Huo Hangfan's eyes flickered, "This, this, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Yuanmo's cold voice, "Security."

Two security guards stepped forward and held him up. Huo Hangfan shouted, "Xu Yuanmo, I am from the Huo family, you can't do this to me..."

"Drag him out."

Huo Hangfan was dragged out, leaving only Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo in the office.

"So, Dean Li is your biological mother?" Xu Yuanmo looked at her forbearingly.

"When did you know this?" She didn't answer, because she couldn't explain how she knew this. Although Dean Li often looked at her differently, she never imagined that she would be Dean Li's daughter.

"Chu Xixi, I'm Xu Yuanmo." He took a step forward and looked at her gently.

"Please take a seat."

She found a seat and sat down, and he closed the door and sat next to her.

"Chu Xixi, are you here to apply for a job?"

“Yes, I want to get back into design.”

"Then do you know what company this is?"

"Yes, it's one of the leading companies in Jincheng."

"Oh? Do you think our company can afford such an expensive designer like you?"

"Your status is not your status." She looked at him seriously, her eyes full of clarity and courage, "Your strength is your strength."

"Please give me a chance to prove myself."

"Why should I trust you?"

After a moment of silence, without giving her a chance to speak, he continued, "Well, Chu Xixi, since you want to return to this industry, I will set a challenging goal for you."

"If you can be among the top ten designers in this year's designer competition in two months, I will allow you to join the company."

"That's fair." A gleam of light flashed in Chu Xixi's eyes. She knew that she was now facing a crisis of food shortage. If she didn't find some business, she would really have to rely on Xu Yuanmo to survive.

"So, what about the employment period? Does it mean that as long as I can achieve the goals, the company will hire me?"

"Maybe," Xu Yuanmo leaned forward slightly and moved closer to her, "After all, this is a matter between the two of us. I also want to support you forever, if possible..."

Looking into his eyes, she suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. She nodded randomly, "Then, see you in two months."

After saying that, she got up and left.

"Wait... I wish you could stay..."

In the evening, she returned to her rented apartment, feeling lonely and staring out the window in a daze.

At some point, she heard the sound of a violin from the next room, and she knew it was a song called "Sense of Security". She was moved by the lyrics on the sheet music, and she knew it must have been written for her.

Thinking of what Xu Yuanmo said during his last stay in the hotel, she understood the light in his eyes for the first time.

The Night Watchman, could it be him?

She closed her eyes and sighed in her heart: I was wrong.

The next week, she chose to fall in love with someone else. But she didn't know that this actually hurt his heart even more.

No night watchman is willing to make the people he cares about cry.

However, there were some nights when there would always be a figure standing in front of her window, whether it was raining or sunny, and he would stand there all night long.

Just like countless nights in the past, he would stand quietly at her door.

On the same day, she, who had fallen in love with someone else, heard the suppressed sadness from the piano music next door, but she didn't understand. She only knew that he should be able to entertain himself or find a new partner to soothe his sadness.

As for where the new object is, she doesn't know.

As a person who is emotionally closed and buries all her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, she won't say it.

That night, she happened to pass by his room. She decided to comfort his sorrow and wanted to be closer to him.

He once walked into her heart so firmly and with such a warm smile.

She will never forget the warmth and happiness he once brought her.

She knocked on the door and walked in step by step without turning on the light. The room was silent, with almost no sound. She reached out and touched it, and suddenly felt herself hovering over his warm bed.

She was stunned.

Then, the feeling that had ignited her like a spark disappeared indifferently, and immediately solidified into ice as if she had entered cold water.

She trembled and saw a pair of eyes smiling at her at the head of the bed. She said nothing and lowered her head.

"I wish you could stay..."

Can stay...what?

Before she could think about it, the door behind her opened and a figure appeared at the door, "Xixi, you want to leave too?"

"It's a fair chance, isn't it?" She pretended not to understand his generosity. "I will definitely stay."

"Okay." Song Yian showed a wicked smile, "I will supervise you well. If you still can't make it into the top ten by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Trust me, I can do it."

"What I want to believe is not you, but your ability." At this point, Song Yian smiled even more happily, "After all, whether I can keep you depends on your performance."

"There's no need to draw a conclusion now. See you in two months." Goodbye, goodbye!

Seeing Song Yian shaking the red wine glass with a wicked grin, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.

The moment she closed the door, she heard Xu Yuanmo's voice, "I won't let you down this time."

This time, she walked faster.

Xu Yuanmo followed her in his car all the way. She stopped by the roadside and he didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.

"Why did you follow this company?" she couldn't help but speak first.

"Of course I want to follow you. Do you think I'm someone who would give up so easily?" He looked at her intriguingly.

"I really am... I'm going to look for a house tomorrow. We don't want to see each other again."

He had a gloomy face, said nothing, and watched her walk into the community silently.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind a tree beside the road. Although only the head of the figure was exposed, she still saw that it was Zhao Xueer.

Xu Yuanmo also noticed her and drove away coldly.

She walked over and found that she had only shown her face. She was standing there. "Did you see it?"

She nodded, "Of course, what are you going to do?"

He sighed, "It's cold."
