I regret after the divorce

The events of that night were like a dividing line, quietly separating them at either end.

Qu Maoxing discovered within a few days that Meng Sui's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.

Meng Sui didn't speak a word to him every day except for his work contacts.

He also left early after get off work without even saying hello.

At first, Qu Maoxing thought he was angry because of what happened that night, until one day when he went to work, he didn't see him.

Qu Maoxing was worried that something had happened to him, and was about to call him, but found a resignation letter on his desk, with a red amulet next to it.

Qu Maoxing's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over to open it. There were only a few short sentences on it, and it was businesslike like a template copied from the Internet.

Only the last line is handwritten, as if it was suddenly decided to be added, so it seems a bit out of place with the surrounding printed fonts.

"I took the imperial guard, sorry."

There was only a thin piece of paper, but Qu Maoxing almost couldn't hold it. He stood there for a long time before reaching out to grab the guard on the table.

However, I don't know if it's because he has accepted the loss of the shou, so there is not much surprise in his heart.

Some are just feeling lost and somewhat unclear emotions.

He was stunned for a long time, then he took out his mobile phone as if he had just realized it, and dialed the familiar mobile phone number.

The phone was connected quickly, but the other party did not speak.

Qu Maoxing didn't seem to expect it to be so smooth, his mind was still in chaos, and it took him a long time to organize his words.

"Where are you now?" Qu Maoxing asked.

Meng Sui didn't answer, but asked indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"

When Qu Maoxing was asked, he racked his brains to search for a reason, "Your job..."

"I have finished handing over with White. He is very good and can be your new assistant."

"The cooperation with Yizuo Group has always been followed by you..."

"I've sorted out all the materials, and it's in the file cabinet, number B002373."

Listening to his calm answer, Qu Maoxing realized that he was not acting on a whim.

Was it that night, he had already made a decision.

"Is there anything else? Mr. Qu." Meng Sui said.

Qu Maoxing was taken aback by his question, opened his mouth, and finally asked the question he wanted to know the most, "Where are you going?"

As soon as he said this, Qu Maoxing knew how funny it was.

He couldn't see Meng Sui's expression, but he heard a breath, probably laughing at him.

The voice on the phone was blank for a long time, and Qu Maoxing's fingers could not help but tighten.

However, Meng Sui did not answer him in the end.

He only heard a boarding prompt, and the other party hung up the phone.

There was obviously no sound, but he heard a "click" very clearly, as if something was broken between them.

"Mr. Qu, I'm off work first." After sorting out the materials, White knocked on the door and walked in and said to him.

Qu Maoxing raised his head and replied "OK", and then continued to work.

Seeing this, White closed the door and walked out by himself.

Then I walked to the elevator with my colleagues who got off work and talked in English.

"What's wrong with Mr. Qu? It's too wild to work overtime recently."

"Yeah, last time I was on duty at night, I saw that he didn't leave until it was almost twelve o'clock."

"What is this? I came here at six o'clock in the morning and saw that he was already here. I don't know if he has gone home or not?"

"The Chinese are too desperate to work."

"Asians really work hard."

"Actually..." White, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Do you think that President Qu became like this after Assistant Meng left?"

When Qu Maoxing came out of the company, it was completely dark.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was already early morning.

But he wasn't sleepy at all, probably because of the intensity of his work, and he was even a little hungry.

He knew that he would not be able to sleep even if he went back now, so he was not in a hurry to go home and decided to have some supper.

There are very few restaurants open at this point, and there is only one hot pot restaurant open 24 hours a day.

Coincidentally, it was the one he visited with Meng Sui last time.

There were not many people ordering hot pot, so Qu Maoxing randomly found a place to sit down, and then ordered a hot pot with butter.

When the clerk asked about the level of spiciness, he thought for a long time before replying, "Extremely spicy."

If Meng Sui had been there, he probably would have jumped on the spot.

It's a pity that he is not here, Qu Maoxing can do whatever he wants.

Because there are few people, it goes fast.

The clerk helped him boil the bottom of the pot and was about to help him serve the dishes, but Qu Maoxing refused.

"I'll do it myself."

The clerk nodded knowingly, turned and left.

Qu Maoxing was the only one left.

With no one around, he felt more at ease. He poured the food in and ate it in big mouthfuls.

It was the first time for him to challenge the bottom of the pot with this level of spiciness, and soon he was dripping with sweat.

The mouth was hot, like a fire was burning, and it quickly spread to the stomach.

My stomach immediately burned.

Qu Maoxing has a bad stomach, which is a problem that has fallen in the business field over the years.

I thought I would be fine as long as I didn't drink and stimulate myself, but I didn't expect to eat something spicy.

His stomach hurt more and more, Qu Maoxing put down his chopsticks, looked at the red oil in the pot, and couldn't eat any more.

He doesn't really like hot pot that much.

But he knew that Yan Qin liked to eat.

Probably because of Ai Wu Ji Wu, the ordinary hot pot for him suddenly became special.

Therefore, he likes to order hot pot for dinners other than entertainment.

Probably because of this reason, Meng Sui ate this almost every time he ate with him.

Thinking of this, Qu Maoxing couldn't eat anymore.

He remembered that he always said to Meng Sui when they had dinner together for so many years, "Don't accommodate me."

However, he never seemed to ask Meng Sui what he likes to eat.

The meal was not good after all, Qu Maoxing ended the battle after only a few mouthfuls, and returned home with a burning stomach.

However, it was probably because of eating too spicy this time that it really hurt Qu Maoxing did not fall asleep in pain until midnight.

So I got up and swallowed a few stomach medicines.

After eating, he lay back on the bed again, covered himself with a quilt and forced himself to fall asleep.

But it was still useless, as if someone was knocking up and down with a small hammer in his stomach, which made Qu Maoxing reasonably suspect whether he had stomach bleeding again.

After suffering for another half an hour, the situation still didn't improve. Qu Maoxing felt dizzy from the pain, and felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he got up, put on his clothes, and walked out step by step while leaning on the wall.

However, as he walked, his footsteps became softer. Before he reached the door, he even struggled to lift his feet, and his eyes became darker and darker.

He just held on to open the door, and fell forward uncontrollably.

He wouldn't be here today to confess, would he?Qu Maoxing thought.

For some reason, the last thing he thought of before he passed out was an old-fashioned emotion test question.

If it was the last day of your life, who would you most want to spend it with?

With whom?

Before he could think clearly, Qu Maoxing lost consciousness and passed out completely.

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.

Beside Qu Maoxing stood a white nurse, who was putting a sling on him.

Seeing that he was awake, he smiled at him and asked in English: "You are awake, do you want to drink water?"

Qu Maoxing shook his head and asked, "Why am I in the hospital?"

"A gentleman sent you here."

"Sir? Who is it?" Knowing that it was impossible, his tone was still unconsciously filled with anticipation.

"He didn't leave his name, he just said he was your neighbor."

"Neighbor?" Qu Maoxing was stunned for a moment, searching his sleepy brain for a while, and finally remembered that his neighbor was Meng Sui.

Thinking of this, Qu Maoxing struggled to get up, but was quickly pushed back by the nurse.

"What are you doing? You just woke up and can't get up yet?"

"What about him?" How could Qu Maoxing care so much, he quickly grabbed the nurse's arm and asked.

The one who didn't pay attention was the right hand that was being infused, and bright red liquid immediately appeared on the infusion tube.

The nurse was startled, and quickly stretched out her hand to hold him down, and gave him the needle again.

Although he handled it quickly, the back of his hand was still bruised.

"Sir, what are you doing? Don't move!" the nurse urged.

"Sorry." Qu Maoxing said quickly, "I just want to ask, where is the person who sent me here?"

"I don't know." The nurse shook her head, "He left after paying the fee."

"Where did you go?"

"do not know."

Qu Maoxing knew that there was nothing left to ask, so he thanked her, and decided to go back after the nurse left after pulling out the needle.

He didn't understand why he was so impulsive all of a sudden.

All he knew was that he wanted to see Meng Sui very much at this moment.

I want to see him very much.

Even if it's just to say something.

But as soon as the nurse left, Qu Maoxing realized, how could it be Meng Sui?

When he called that day, he clearly heard the boarding announcement from the opposite side.

He must have been at the airport at the time and must have left long ago.

So how could it be him.

And the neighbors...

Although he lived in a staff dormitory, the building was not built by their company. They just bought some houses in the building for the Chinese working here to live.

There are not many Chinese in their company, so their company only bought a dozen.

It is true that Meng Sui used to live across from their house.

But it wasn't just the two of them who lived on that floor, maybe other neighbors.

Thinking of this, Qu Maoxing felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, and his whole body instantly woke up.

How could Meng Sui care about him again.

Thinking of this, Qu Maoxing lay down again and closed his eyes.

The question before he passed out couldn't help appearing in his mind.

If it was the last day of your life, who would you most want to spend it with?

With whom?

After being discharged from the hospital, Qu Maoxing bought a cake.

The doctor said that his condition was very serious that night, and if it was delivered later, something might really go wrong.

So that night was a lifesaver.

It was really inappropriate for him not to say thank you.

There were three households living on their floor, and apart from him and Meng Sui who had left, there was only one family left.

So Qu Maoxing knocked on the door of their house directly with the cake.

Soon someone came to answer the door. It was a black boy with a strong physique.

The little brother looked at the cake in his hand and asked in surprise, "Is it for me?"

Qu Maoxing nodded, and said to him, "Thank you for what happened the day before yesterday."

The little brother was dumbfounded, "What happened the day before yesterday?"

"It was you who took me to the hospital. If it wasn't for you, I might have confessed here."

"Me?" The little brother rubbed the back of his head in confusion, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I didn't send you to the hospital."

Qu Maoxing was also stunned when he heard it.

"Isn't it you?" he pursued.

"No, you've got the wrong person."

"I'm sorry." Qu Maoxing said, his eyes fell on the door of the house next to him, "That may be because I recognized the wrong person."

Qu Maoxing carried the cake and walked towards the next door. For some reason, every step was difficult.

It was a few minutes' journey, but he seemed to have walked half his life to complete it.

So much so that when he reached the door, he felt a little faint.

Qu Maoxing looked down at the cake in his hand, took a deep breath, and then raised his finger to knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..."

However, after knocking for a long time, no one came to answer the door.

He didn't let it go until his arm became numb at last.

Qu Maoxing stood at the door for a long time, but still didn't understand.

So the person that night was not Meng Sui's?

Who is that?

Qu Maoxing couldn't guess, so he didn't guess at all, and walked back with the cake a little dejectedly.

However, just as his hand touched the doorknob of his house, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

Qu Maoxing turned his head and saw Meng Sui.

He still looked lukewarm, looking at him lightly.

It seems that everything is still the same as before.

They just didn't see each other overnight.

As long as Qu Maoxing turned his head, Meng Sui would always be behind him.

"You..." Qu Maoxing suddenly became hoarse for some reason, "You didn't leave..."

Meng Sui didn't answer, but asked instead: "Is there anything you can do with me?"

"It was you that night." Qu Maoxing said suddenly, the words were thoughtless, but with indescribable certainty.

"No." Meng Sui replied.

Qu Maoxing suddenly smiled when he heard the words, and walked over with the cake.

"I didn't say what it was, why did you answer it?"

Meng Sui also knew that he had revealed his secrets, so he pursed his lips and refused to speak.

"This cake is for you." Seeing this, Qu Maoxing handed over the cake in his hand.

Meng Sui glanced down, raised his hand to take it, and then looked at him, "Is there anything else?"

Qu Maoxing hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head without saying anything.

Seeing the situation, Meng Sui wanted to close the door, but Qu Maoxing raised his hand to stop him.

"Let go." Meng Sui said.

Qu Maoxing shook his head and said sincerely, "Meng Sui, come back."

Meng Sui raised his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Qu Maoxing was dumb.

Meng Sui didn't force it anymore, turned around and walked in with the cake in his arms.

Seeing this, Qu Maoxing took the opportunity to follow.

"Meng Sui...you won't leave, will you?"

"Why not?" Meng Sui put the cake on the table and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Did I sell it to you? I want to have my own life, unless..."

"Unless what?" Qu Maoxing asked.

Meng Sui looked up at him, and smiled coldly, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Don't you know what I want?"

Qu Maoxing fell silent when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Meng Sui lowered his eyes, restrained the expression inside, stood up and turned his back to him, "Go back, I'll accept this cake, from now on we don't owe anyone anything."

After a long time, he finally heard footsteps.

It's just that the footsteps didn't leave, but got closer and closer to him.

Meng Sui turned his head in surprise, and then saw Qu Maoxing had come to his side, looking up at him.

Just as Meng Sui was about to ask him what he was doing, he heard him say, "If I am willing to take that step, will you still be here?"

When Meng Sui heard this, his dark pupils instantly enlarged, and he looked at him without blinking.

"What did you say?" Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, Meng Sui's fingers hanging by his side still couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Let's... let's try."

Meng Sui knew that he should be more reserved and don't care a little bit. He can't be controlled by Qu Maoxing for the rest of his life. Why should he try it?

But when he saw Qu Maoxing's expectant eyes, Meng Sui's heart softened instantly, and he felt that even if he was manipulated for the rest of his life, so what?

So he obeyed his heart almost immediately, and replied: "Okay."

"Come back to work tomorrow." Qu Mao was aggressive.

Meng Sui pondered for a moment, then replied, "...um."

"By the way, didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Qu Maoxing continued to ask.

Meng Sui didn't speak, remained silent for a while, and finally only replied two words, "Secret."

Yes, this is his secret.

After he handed in his resignation that day, he did go to the airport with his luggage, but just before boarding the plane, he got off again.

After all, he couldn't bear Qu Maoxing.

But this cannot tell him.

After all, I am already passive enough in this relationship, how can I let him always have the upper hand.

But he didn't know that Qu Maoxing also had a secret that he didn't tell him.

During the two days in the hospital, Qu Maoxing finally figured out the problem.

If it was the last day of your life, who would you most want to spend it with?

With whom?

Qu Maoxing chose several times in the hospital.

The answer is Meng Sui.

So he thought, this is a step forward.
