Su lanxu pried his fingers away with great effort and backed away, raising her head to look.
&Quot; Xu Jialu, I accept your apology and forgive you. &Quot;
Before Xu Jialu’s slightly tipsy eyes could light up, she heard her continue.
“But it’s impossible between us.”
His handsome features suddenly froze, and even his eyes darkened.
“Why?” The three simple words slid through his throat like a knife and came out with difficulty.
&Quot; what’s missed is missed. I can’t like you again, and a good love shouldn’t make people humble. You shouldn’t be so humble because you like me. &Quot;
She used to like a young man who was proud and flamboyant, shining like the stars. Even if she didn’t like him anymore, she still hoped that the young man would be the brightest star.
It wasn’t because of him that the light was blocked by dark clouds and he fell from the altar.
Xu Jialu’s hands that were hanging by his sides silently furrowed, and the corners of his eyes slowly turned red. &Quot; you … Can’t you just give me a chance? ”
Su lanxu shook her head.
Xu Jialu’s clenched teeth loosened. He lowered his head and laughed at himself. Then, he looked up at her. &Quot; su lanxu, I’m really … Really … &Quot;
He repeated it twice, but he did not say those harsh words.
“I’m sorry,” she said. Su LAN pursed her lips and left without any hesitation.
Xu Jialu’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, but he swallowed the words he was about to say. In the end, he didn’t call her.
……
The next day, su lanxu drove her father back to the hospital, and her mother followed to take care of him.
Not long after she returned to the ward, she heard a knock on the door.
Su lanxu stood up and saw Xie tingxi walking in. He was dressed in a suit and was holding a fruit basket.
“Lanlan, this is …” Mother su was confused.
Xie tingxi nodded slightly. &Quot; Hello, uncle and Auntie. I’m Xie tingxi. &Quot;
Su lanxu was stunned when she saw him. Then, she reacted and quickly introduced, ” dad, mom, this is director Xie. &Quot;
&Quot; Hello, director Xie. Hello, ”
Father SU’s reaction was the calmest, neither servile nor overbearing.
Su lanxu asked in surprise, ” President Xie, why are you here? ”
“I heard that uncle was hospitalized, so I came over to take a look.” Xie tingxi’s gentle voice replied. He looked at Su Yu’s parents with a smile in his eyes, and his attitude was even more friendly.
Su Yu’s parents looked at each other and silently came to a tacit understanding.
Father su invited Xie tingxi to sit and asked mother su to pour him a glass of water. They chatted for a while.
Xie tingxi’s style of speech was extraordinary, and he spoke with propriety. He was also full of praises for su lanxu’s work performance.
After sitting for a while, he took the initiative to get up and leave, not wanting to disturb father SU’s rest.
Father su asked su lanxu to send President Xie off.
Su lanxu went to send Xie tingxi off, leaving only Mr. And Mrs. Su in the ward.
“Could it be that this President Xie has taken a fancy to our lan lan?”
&Quot; I think so. Otherwise, why would he suddenly come to see you? ”
Father su: ” from the way he talks, he’s not a bad person. Besides, lan lan is working for him. The two of them should get along very well. &Quot;
Mother su frowned. &Quot; but I think Xiao Xu is better. A married couple can work together and face each other at home. It’s easy to get into conflicts over time. &Quot;
“This isn’t absolute.” Father su disagreed with her. &Quot; look, we’ve been working together for a lifetime and there’s no conflict between us. &Quot;
“How many couples in this world can be like us?” Su Yu’s mother glared at him.
“That’s true,” Father su thought for a moment and sighed.”Forget it. No matter which one it is, the most important thing is for our lan lan to like it.”
……
Su lanxu sent Xie tingxi downstairs. &Quot; President Xie, thank you so much for coming to visit my father today. &Quot;
Once again, she was impressed by how good of a boss director Xie was.
&Quot; you’re welcome. You’re not only my Secretary but also my friend. &Quot; Xie tingxi smiled. &Quot; if you need anything, just let me know. Don’t be polite with me. &Quot;
“Thank you, but not at the moment.” Su lanxu replied. After all, everything was arranged by Xu Jialu.
Because of her relationship with mo shenbai, her father’s Hospital room and attending doctor were the best in Mo City.
Xie tingxi was silent for a second, then he suddenly asked, ” do you have time? I want to talk to you. &Quot;
“There is.” Su lanxu didn’t know what he wanted to talk about. She saw the café opposite the hospital from the corner of her eye. &Quot; why don’t we go over there and sit down to talk? ”
At the coffee shop.
Su lanxu sat down and ordered an Americano for him while she ordered a cup of iced coffee for herself.
Xie tingxi sat across from her and talked about some work matters. When the coffee was delivered, he took a sip and was silent for a few seconds. &Quot; I saw your father’s doctor before I went to the ward. &Quot; he said.
Su lanxu’s hand that was holding the cup froze. She looked up with confusion in her eyes.
“I know your father doesn’t have much time left. Perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned this at this time.”
Xie tingxi put down his cup and adjusted his glasses. &Quot; but I think it’s better for you to bring this up now. &Quot;
“Director Xie, what are you trying to say?”
“I want to ask you to marry me.”
“Pfft.” Su lanxu spat out the coffee in her mouth. She quickly put down the cup and wiped it with a tissue. &Quot; I’m sorry, I’m sorry … &Quot;
As she wiped, she looked up at him. &Quot; director Xie, are you joking with me? ”
“No, it’s not.” The smile on Xie tingxi’s face faded, and he said calmly, ” “I’ve thought about this for a long time. I’m asking you to marry me, but you have to be sure that you don’t have someone you like now.”
&Quot; but, Wanwan. &Quot; su lanxu felt like she was dreaming. Otherwise, why would President Xie say something like marrying her?
“Why?” She didn’t think that she was so charming that she could conquer this fickle-minded workaholic.
&Quot; firstly, you’re very capable at work, and I admire your ability. Secondly, Mumu doesn’t hate you. On the contrary, you two get along very well. Thirdly, you don’t have any distracting thoughts or ulterior motives towards me. There won’t be any emotional ties between us, so it won’t affect our work. &Quot;
“……”
Su lanxu had mixed feelings after hearing what he said. She didn’t know whether to scold him for being crazy or praise him for his dedication to his work. He didn’t even consider marriage and it didn’t affect his work.
&Quot; director Xie, can I take it as you want to have a contract marriage with me? ” Just like how Youyou and Mo shenbai got married through a contract.
Xie tingxi nodded. &Quot; you can understand it that way. Of course, to be fair, I will sign a prenuptial agreement with you. I will never force you to do anything you don’t want to do during the marriage. If you are in love, you can ask for a divorce at any time, and I will also give you some financial compensation. &Quot;
Su lanxu found it funny and asked casually, ” what about me? What do I have to pay for this marriage?”
&Quot; other than maintaining your daily work and playing the role of Mrs. Xie well, the most important thing is to make Xie Yumu stop. &Quot;
Xie Yumu was afraid that he would marry a vicious stepmother who would cause a small ruckus every three days and a big ruckus every five days, which would seriously affect his work efficiency.
