one to two

"Need not."

Qi Xin raised his left hand, glanced at the time, and said, "Can we meet in the parking lot downstairs at five o'clock?"

"Yes." Who made you the boss?

Seeing Ai You leave, Qi Xin's smile gradually faded away.

Never, never, never, never ran out of the way and Zhao Quanneng came.In Yan Zhiying's words: "This handsome young man meets your requirements in every way, why are you hesitating?"

To be honest, Qi Xin really couldn't find anything wrong with Zhao Quanneng.But you can't be together without hesitation just because you can't find faults.

In Qi Xin's memory, Yan Zhiying has never had a conversation with herself for more than six or 10 minutes at a time since she started taking care of everything ten years ago.Sometimes, even if she is not busy with work, she reads books, periodicals and newspapers alone in her study.But this time, Yan Zhiying actually lived in her small nest for two nights, which made her seriously doubt whether Yan Zhiying had a quarrel with Qi Junliang and stayed away for several days, but this idea was soon followed by a call from Qi Junliang Smash to pieces.It seems that her mother is determined to throw out the bowl of water that has been held for 27 years this time.

"Xin Xin, mom knows that mom has been busy with work for so many years and didn't give you enough care in life, but you can't deliberately contradict mom in marriage because of this." Yan Zhiying stood at Qi Xin's door. At the door of the bedroom, with arms folded, I watched my daughter sitting in front of the dressing table and smearing in the mirror.

"Mom, don't you understand me? Am I someone who will deliberately contradict someone?" Qi Xin said casually while continuing to move his hands.

"Then why don't you have a good relationship with Aneng? Our parents watched you grow up, and the two families know everything. Although your Aunt Zhang is a businessman, she has a gentle personality and cares about the overall situation. She used to be a neighbor. Since then, I have always loved you so much, where are you going to find such a suitable husband's family?"

Qi Xin didn't reply immediately, she opened her eyes and looked at the dignified mother in the mirror.Only the wall lamp was turned on in the room, and the light was relatively dim, but she could clearly see the puzzlement in Yan Zhiying's eyes.

Maybe she really doesn't understand?

But why is she so incomprehensible?

As the saying goes, mother and daughter are united, but now, there is a deep gap between her and Yan Zhiying because of their marriage.Qi Xin sighed secretly in her heart, put down the porcelain bottle in her hand, turned around and stood up, walked to Yan Zhiying, pulled her to sit on the soft sofa in front of the French window, and said in a soft tone: "Mom, why do you want me so much?" How about going to marry Zhao Quan?"

Faced with Qi Xin's voice like a little daughter's, Yan Zhiying became a little dazed, softened her tone, and said patiently: "I don't have to ask you to marry him, but I want you two to have a good relationship first. If you really think he is not suitable, Mom will choose other suitable ones for you. But you have to get married, the good times of girls are only a few years, you are not young, if you miss it now, you can choose in the future Less and less, then you will have no regrets."

Qi Xin nodded and continued, "Why do I have to get married?"

When Yan Zhiying heard this, she frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? Of course you want to get married, and everyone has to get married. How can you have a family and raise children if you don't get married? Who will take care of you when you get old? You It's best to get rid of this idea as soon as possible, I still hope that I can hold my grandson as soon as possible."

Qi Xin smiled helplessly: "Mom, even if there is a child, it is your grandson. You are tired too, go to bed early."

Now that the words are over, how can Qi Xin sleep.

She lay motionless on the bed, the weather was not hot, but a thin layer of sweat gradually oozed from her back.Yan Zhiying beside her was breathing steadily. Qi Xin turned her head and looked at her mother's sleeping face carefully under the moonlight. No matter how strong and decisive she is usually, no matter how many people's lives and jobs are related to her thoughts, time is ruthless, in her Deep imprints were carved on the corners of his eyes, and these shallow fine lines made Qi Xin feel sore.

In fact, I know that your starting point is for my own good; in fact, you have always loved me.But now I really don't want to get married, don't want to pay or endure for marriage, and don't want to lose my freedom because of marriage. Maybe I'm too selfish and have no courage.

In a daze, Qi Xin couldn't sleep peacefully all night.

Today, Yan Zhiying left Qi Xin's apartment in good spirits early in the morning. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Qi Xin to think carefully.Qi Xin didn't want to continue talking with his mother before going to bed tonight, so he decided to go on a business trip temporarily.

As soon as she got out of the cabin, Ai You felt the biting cold air gathering towards her from all around, instantly evacuating the temperature in her body.She gritted her teeth and followed Qi Xin out of the station.After getting into the taxi, Qi Xin gave the name of the place and turned to look at Ai You.

Good guy, the clothes on her body are actually the same as in the morning, just a suit jacket, didn't you tell her to go home early and prepare to go?Except for the schoolbag she held in her arms after getting into the car, she didn't see any extra suitcases. Although there was heating in the car, it had been winter here for a long time after all.

"Ai You, you're just wearing this, aren't you cold?"

"It's cold, I'm really going to be frozen into a popsicle, but I don't have any thicker clothes at home." Ai You opened her mouth and her teeth began to tremble, she gritted her teeth to complete the sentence.

"Have you been in City A all year round? Don't you usually go to the north in winter?"

"When I was a child, I used to travel all over the world with my parents. When I grew up, I didn't like to travel far, so I seldom went out." Ai You said, tightening her coat.

This is the first time Qi Xin has heard Ai You talk about her parents. Although she is more curious about what "going south and north" is all about, it is a private matter after all, and the two of them are not yet familiar enough to make things happen.

"Be patient, I'll be at the hotel soon, I'll go buy some clothes when I get there." Qi Xin made a decisive decision.

This proposal was something Ai You couldn't wish for, she hugged her backpack tightly and nodded quickly, unwilling to speak again.

When they arrived at the hotel, Ai You took out the ID cards of the two, reported the information to the front desk, received the room key card that had been booked early in the morning, and then prepared to buy clothes.

"Manager, you should go up and rest early by yourself. It feels like you didn't sleep well yesterday. I will come back as soon as possible after I bought some clothes." Ai You only had a backpack with her, so there was really no need to put luggage.

"Hey, wait for me. I'll go with you. I don't think you ate much on the plane. You must be hungry now. We bought some clothes and we went to have some hot pot. What do you think?" Qi Xin said besides Carry-on bag and a small suitcase. "I'll go up and put my luggage and I'll come down. Wait for me for a while." Then he stepped on his high heels and walked towards the elevator.

In fact, Qi Xin can come to this seminar by herself, and she originally planned to do so.It's just that at noon, I saw Ai You standing alone on the observation deck and looking into the distance. She looked at the girl's tall and graceful back, and looked at the hair on her back that was blown up by the wind, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness from the bottom of her heart.It's as if Ai You will be blown to the misty island in the distance by the wind at any time, and will disappear without a trace. From then on, there will be no smell of this girl in her office again.For some reason, this kind of assumption was something she didn't want to see, so she walked over to the girl and took her on a business trip to a strange city on a temporary basis.Although the city is unfamiliar, it should be nice to have a familiar girl by my side.

When she came to the shopping mall near the hotel, Ai You took a fancy to a mid-length slim-fit down jacket, and asked the salesperson to help her choose a royal blue one, and she felt warm immediately after wearing it.She went to the cashier and swiped her card, turned around with her shopping bag in hand, and saw Qi Xin standing not far away talking on the phone. She casually looked at other styles of clothes in the store, and only walked forward after Qi Xin put away the line. go.

Seeing Ai You approaching, Qi Xin's eyes flashed, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"It's good to be young, you look good in anything you wear."

Ai You had a thin skin, and her cheeks blushed when she heard Qi Xin boast like this.

"The manager's eloquence is no worse than that of the elites in the sales department, but his memory is not very good. You are not much older than me. Don't make yourself look like an old lady."

"Hey, you girl, you start to jump when you are warmed up, right? Also, this is not in the company, nor is it working hours, so don't talk about one manager at a time." Qi Xin said with a smile, repeating the phone call Serious topics were thrown into the trash can in the corner.

"Well, what should I call you in private?"

"I'm a little older, so you can call me Sister Xin."

While talking, the two took the elevator to the dining area on the sixth floor.

The hot pot restaurant was fully heated, and the two took off their coats and put them on an empty chair beside them.After sitting down, Ai You turned her head and looked around.The lights are bright, the windows are bright and the service is clean; the waiters are uniformed in red overalls, and soon a waitress with her hair neatly arranged comes to order with a menu.

Qi Xin took the menu and asked softly, "Do you want something light or exciting?"

Ai You pursed her lips, and asked softly, "Sister Xin, can you eat spicy food?"

Qi Xin hummed lightly: "I can basically eat any flavor."

Seeing this, Ai You felt happy, and turned to ask the waiter: "Is there any pot bottom that is light and exciting?"

"Yes, just the mandarin duck pot. Many guests like our mandarin duck pot very much."

"Mandarin duck pot? Isn't that what couple pot means?" Ai You muttered casually, Qi Xin looked at her foolish way of saying this without thinking, and said with a faint smile: "It's just a taste, we just want this. "Then ordered other ingredients, and Ai You rinsed the cups and bowls with tea.

Soon, a waiter brought up the bottom of the pot, and turned on the switch of the induction cooker by the way.Then, all the dishes ordered are pushed to the table with a small cart.After a while, the soup boiled, and there were bursts of mist, and the fragrance of the food rushed to the face in circles, making the greedy worms in Aiyou's belly start to scream.Qi Xin first put the meat ingredients into the pot one by one, and gently mixed them with a colander.

Ai You looked at the person sitting opposite her who was affectionate and focused, with a smile on her lips, a strand of fine hair fell on the left ear temple, floating slowly with the airflow in the store.Amidst the mist, Ai You only felt that this woman was surrounded by a circle of warm light, as beautiful as if immersed in a dream.She unconsciously stared at Qi Xin for a long time, and it was not until Qi Xin made a sound that she came back to her senses.

"Okay, it's ready to eat, let's start!" Qi Xin said while mixing the seasoning, without raising his head, which also saved Ai You from the embarrassment of being caught staring at him.

For more than two months, Ai You has already known Qi Xin's many habits at work, but it's just work. Apart from knowing that she has a special liking for those flowers and plants, she often drinks iceberg snow chrysanthemum. What is this woman like in private.

Qi Xin was very quiet when eating, and didn't say anything else except asking once if the portion was enough.Ai You's unintentional glance just now clearly discovered a rare beauty, but it seemed to be peeping into other people's privacy, and she was uneasy. At this moment, she kept her head buried in eating hot pot, for fear that Qi Xin would notice something.
