She was initially a little uncomfortable after being rejected, but he zhichu miraculously cured her by saying that she was his sister-in-law.
However, she was already past the age of an ignorant young girl. She would not be coaxed by a few good words from a man.
Xie qingying looked at he zhichu with mixed feelings. She smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll leave it to her.”
She paused for a moment, then said softly, “Actually, when we get married in the future, someone as smart and understanding as Nianzhi might not be willing to live on the same floor as us.”
He zhichu frowned slightly. He pondered for a while before he understood what Xie qingying meant.
He was silent for a while, then said reluctantly, “What you said makes sense, but it’s too early to say this now. In the future, if Nianzhi doesn’t want to live there, then change.”
Is it still too early?
Xie qingying’s mood, which had just been healed, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
It was heart-wrenching.
She looked at he zhichu without batting an eyelid. She had been secretly in love with this man since she was a young girl. Even though she was with him now and had become his pillow person, she still could not see through him.
She slowly took a step back. Half of her body was hidden in the darkness. She was in the light and shadow with he zhichu, just like a mirror image.
Xie qingying looked at him quietly for a while, then said softly, “Zhichu, do you know that I love you, very, very much?”
He Zhichu was slightly startled, and looked up at her.
In the half-light and half-darkness, her straight and exquisite nose bridge looked exactly like Gu Nianzhi’s.
He Zhichu couldn’t help reaching out his hand, and gently stroked her cheek.
Xie qingying leaned her face against he zhichu’s palm, and felt the warmth of his palm. It was as if she was pampered in his palm, and her heart loved him dearly.
However, no matter how much she loved him, she still had her own principles and bottom line.
She wanted he zhichu’s entire heart, but now she realized that she would never be able to achieve this goal.
Xie qingying closed her eyes and said softly,”… actually, if you hadn’t shown that you cared so much about nianzhi, my fifth uncle wouldn’t have let Qingfen bother you.”
He Zhichu’s hand paused, then he pulled it back and placed it behind his back.
He Zhichu’s slightly despondent gaze instantly became clear. He asked coldly, “What do you mean? Xie Beichen asked Xie Qingfen to learn from Nianzhi. You knew about this long ago, right?”
Xie qingying straightened her head and looked at he zhichu. “I already said it just now. I know.”
“Then why didn’t you stop him?”He Zhichu’s anger slowly rose again. “Who isn’t easy to learn? Why do you want to learn from Nianzhi? ! And you even sent such a disgusting person to learn! You’re intentionally making things difficult for me, aren’t you? !”
Xie qingying looked at him. The sorrow in her heart was like the ocean in the middle of the night. It rose and fell, and it was so dark that she could not see the end of it.
Her voice was almost choked with sobs.”… What’s the use of me stopping you? Do you think fifth Uncle Will Listen to me? !”
“Besides, why do you care so much about this matter? ! Tell Me, why do you care so much about this matter? !”She yelled.
“Why do you care? !”He Zhichu was already being unreasonable. There was not a hint of gentleness in his almond-shaped eyes. There was only a towering rage that could not wait to burn Xie qingying.”… Don’t force me!”
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were cracking in the quiet night.
“I force you? When have I ever forced you? ! You’ve been forcing me this whole time!”Xie qingying was still not as tolerant as he zhichu. She screamed and clutched her chest as she took a few steps back.
He Zhichu walked out of the darkness and stood where the light could reach. He Zhichu realized that she did not look like Gu Nianzhi at all.
Although Xie qingying had inherited the nose of the Gu family from her mother, Gu Tian, she still looked like her father.
Xie qingying’s emotions had completely collapsed. She could not bear the immense pressure and disappointment and ran out of the living room on the second floor, crying.
He Zhichu stood at the window on the second floor and watched as she drove her small sports car out of the He family’s official residence and headed towards the main road.
From Afar, he could only see the car lights forming a long line in the night sky.
After Xie qingying left, he zhichu did not sleep the whole night. He sat on the sofa and drank red wine the whole night.
..
This Christmas, he zhichu did not celebrate it. Instead, he left early and returned late at the military headquarters. He was busy with work every day.
Xie qingying did not come to see him like before. She did not ask about his well-being or help him with the He family matters.
He Zhichu thought about calling her, but when he picked up the phone, he felt that he had nothing to say, so he put it down.
In addition, the battle for the six positions in the military had reached a climax. He Zhichu had to personally oversee it. Only then would he be able to suppress the various forces and seek a balance.
Two months had passed, and the spring festival was coming soon.
Three of the six positions in the military had already been decided. He zhichu awarded the three of them medals and certificates.
Four of the seven positions had already been decided, and they had already taken up the majority. The Huaxia Empire’s military had thus completely stabilized.
He Zhichu did not plan to appoint the remaining three positions immediately. He still had to wait and see for a while. At the same time, he would let his subordinates continue to compete. Only then would he be able to see the situation clearly and disintegrate the territory of the old men from before.
On this day, after he had a meeting at the military headquarters, when he pulled up the curtains in the meeting room, he realized that it was snowing outside.
“It’s snowing on New Year’s Eve. That’s a good sign!”Someone in the meeting room laughed out loud.
Compared to he zhichu, the other three people were all in their early fifties. They were not considered young, but compared to the six people he zhichu had taken down previously, they were already considered young and strong.
This was because among the six people, the youngest was already sixty-five years old.
“General he, are you at home on the first day of the New Year this year? I’ll bring my son to wish you a happy new year!”
These three people surrounded he zhichu and exchanged greetings.
After Christmas, his military rank was already general.
He zhichu smiled and said, “Thank you very much. I’ll go to the lower ranks on the first day of the New Year and celebrate the new year with the soldiers. I’ll only be back on the seventh day.”
“The seventh day of the Lunar New Year? Doesn’t that mean that we won’t have the annual leave?”The three of them laughed. “General he, why don’t we take turns going to the lower ranks?”
“There’s no need. It’s the first year of this year. I’ll go. All of you have families and mouths. I’ll be alone. The lower ranks will be more lively during the New Year.”
He Zhichu declined politely.
The three of them looked at each other and asked tentatively, “What about Miss Xie? You guys… aren’t going to celebrate the new year together this year?”
He Zhichu thought for a moment. He had not seen Xie qingying for more than two months, and he had not called her.
Social media was so developed, but the two of them had not even exchanged a single text message.
What was this?
He Zhichu had a headache.
After he broke up with the three people from the military headquarters, he took a private car back to his house.
He saw a long-lost two-seater sports car outside the He family’s mansion. It was Xie Qingying’s car.
Xie qingying’s red sports car was particularly eye-catching in the heavy snow.
He Zhichu was a little dazed again.
This reminded him of Gu Nianzhi’s Red Ferrari in the other world.
Unfortunately, that car was a gift from Huo Shaoheng..
He zhichu snorted and pushed open the car door to get out.
Xie qingying also got out of the sports car.
She was wearing a purple mink coat and fox fur boots. She stood gracefully in the snow.
After two months, she had lost a lot of weight. Although she was wearing a coat, her waist could still be seen.
He Zhichu let out a sigh of relief and walked over with a smile. He planned to coax Xie qingying. This time, the two of them had been in a cold war for quite a long time.
The orderly beside him quickly opened an umbrella for him to cover the heavy snow.
However, a gust of wind blew over, and some snow still fell on the shoulders of He Zhichu’s military uniform.
Xie qingying looked at him silently. Suddenly, she opened the car door with a backhand. A chubby little girl in a red coat poked her head out of the car. When she saw he zhichu, her eyes lit up. “Brother he! I want to celebrate the new year with you!”
It was Xie Qingfen again!
He Zhichu’s face immediately darkened.”… You Did It on Purpose?”
“Yes, I did it on purpose,”Xie qingying said as she raised her head. Although her legs were weak and she was almost scared out of her wits by he zhichu’s imposing manner, she did not want to give up.
If she could not get his heart, she would not even want his men anymore.
This was the last chance she would give him, and it was also a chance for herself.
“I’ve said before, don’t let her appear in front of me again!”He Zhichu’s veins were popping out on his forehead.
Xie qingfen understood he zhichu’s words and burst into tears.
Xie qingying said to the person in the car, “Take her away.”
The chauffeur in the car immediately closed the door, started the car, and sped away.
He Zhichu took a deep breath and said patiently, “Alright, don’t be angry. Don’t ever let me see her again.”
He Zhichu had backed down again and again.
He said, “Go and ask around. Other than Nianzhi, which woman have I been so tolerant of?”
What he meant was, Xie qingying, you have to be content and stop messing around.
Xie qingying’s face was stiff. He Zhichu held her hand as they walked into the mansion.
He Zhichu’s personal secretary and orderly heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not easy for Miss Xie to return. This New Year’s Eve should be a good one, right?
Otherwise, it would be too lonely with only young master he alone..
Xie qingying did not say a word. She followed he zhichu through the door and went straight to the second floor.
He Zhichu brought her to his suite.
“Sit down. What do you want to drink? I’ll get the orderly to bring it up.”He Zhichu took off his military coat, changed into his boots, and sat on the sofa.
Xie qingying was silent for a while and said, “Why don’t you like to see Qingfen? She’s more like Nianzhi. Shouldn’t you treat her more like a younger sister?”
“… she’s fit to be my he Zhichu’s sister?”He Zhichu’s face darkened. “Why do you keep harping on this matter?”
“What do you think? Why Do I keep harping on this matter?”Xie qingying looked at he zhichu sadly and asked slowly,”… why can’t you just let it go?”
He Zhichu’s movements froze for a moment before he slowly leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. He placed one arm on the armrest of the sofa and said nonchalantly, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You really don’t understand? If you don’t understand, then I’ll say it again. Why Can’t you just let it go? !”Xie qingying clenched her fists, and there were faint tears in her eyes.
She was really about to cry.
He zhichu lowered his eyes and looked at the carpet. It was a pure wool carpet from Iran, woven with large night epiphyllum flowers.
After a long while, he said calmly,”… I’ve said it before. I’m a morally corrupt person. I’m so bad that I can’t change for the rest of my life, and I don’t want to change.”
Xie Qingying’s tears streamed down her face.
She covered her face and let out a low and hoarse cry like a wounded little beast.
He Zhichu did not try to persuade her. He just placed a box of tissues on the sofa table next to her.
Xie qingying burst into tears and wiped her tears with the tissue.
He zhichu said casually, “But I can guarantee that you’re the only woman I have. We can get married.”
Xie qingying laughed coldly. “But I don’t want to.”
She stood up and straightened her back. “He zhichu, listen carefully. I don’t want to make do with you. I want to break off the engagement with you. I want to break up with you!”
He Zhichu slowly poked his head out and looked at her inquisitively for a while.”… Don’t use this method to test me. It’s useless to retreat in order to advance.”
“Who’s testing you?”Xie qingying took out the ring and placed it on the sofa table in front of he zhichu. “This is our engagement ring. I’ll return it to you. From now on, our marriage has nothing to do with each other.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the door. At first, she only ran quickly, but later, she started jogging as if she had been freed. She could only hear the sound of footsteps as she ran towards the he family’s main door.
He Zhichu played with the ring. He did not go to see her off, nor did he go to the window to see her.
He let out a long sigh. He Zhichu threw the ring into the drawer and lit a cigarette.
