C110 I like Mr Qin
Although Xia Jing was sad, she was still rational, and when she heard his words, she was shocked.
He could give her anything she wanted?
She suddenly looked up and glanced at him. She realized that their actions were a little too intimate, so she subconsciously pushed him away.
"Mr. Qin... Thank you." The estrangement in her words made him lower his eyes slightly.
However, the corner of his mouth still raised into a perfect arc. "The food is ready. Let's eat first."
Xia Jing nodded. The two of them did not say anything else at the dining table.
After the meal, Qin Mo really kept his promise to talk to her about work.
After the discussion, Xia Jing was just about to leave when Su Yu suddenly came to visit.
Qin Mo seemed to have vaguely guessed something. After looking at Xia Jing, he smiled at Su Yu and asked, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"I..." It was rare for Su Yu to show a little shyness in front of someone: "It was the old man who called me over and invited Miss Xia."
"Oh? You didn't come to look for me?" Although he asked, Qin Mo's face was very calm. He was not so surprised at all.
If the old man wanted to find him, he could do it at any time. He would not pick such a time at all.
Su Yu nodded and turned around to walk towards Xia Jing: "Xia Jing, I wonder if you have the time to go with me to see the old man?"
Xia Jing frowned and looked at the documents in her hand. There were a lot of things to take care of in the company. She was afraid that she really did not have the time.
Su Yu seemed to have seen through her refusal, and her eyes turned slightly. "Ruo Bai is here too. He's with the old gentleman now."
The internet was so developed nowadays that she had already known that the two of them had broken off their engagement.
She didn't know the reason, but she could tell that the two of them still had each other in their hearts.
They couldn't let go of each other.
"What?" Xia Jing widened her eyes slightly.
Shen Ruo Bai was also here?
Ever since she left Shen Ruo Bai's company, Xia Jing had never seen him again and knew nothing about his current situation.
She thought that she would never have the chance to meet him again.
"Su Yu, Xiao Jing's company is very busy right now. I'm afraid she won't have time to see the old man today. I'll send Miss Xia back first and pay him a visit later."
After Qin Mo observed the change on Xia Jing's face, he suddenly said to Su Yu.
"You don't have time?" Su Yu did not look at Qin Mo. Instead, she stared at Xia Jing without blinking.
Was it because she did not have the time or because she did not dare to see that person?
In fact, Xia Jing's heart was filled with contradictions. That person was someone she had been trying her best to convince herself not to think about every day and try her best to make the people around her not mention him. But now that she knew that he was right in front of her and that she could see him immediately as long as she made a decision, she actually hesitated.
At this time, shouldn't she run away?
Why was she hesitating?
Xia Jing, are you really trying to be cheap?
"Yes, Miss Xia doesn't have time." Qin Mo was clearly unhappy with Su Yu's repeated questioning, and his face also became a little cold. Seeing the hesitation in Xia Jing's eyes, he grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Jing, if you don't make a decision quickly, you will be in trouble. Let me send you back."
Su Yu was stunned as her gaze fell on the two of them holding hands and the light in her eyes became very fast.
Then she raised her head and looked at Qin Mo at a loss. Then she looked at Xia Jing. The two of them...
"I'll just go back by myself." The doubt in Su Yu's eyes was not hidden at all. Xia Jing quickly broke free from Qin Mo's hand and walked out with big strides.
Su Yu looked at Qin Mo with a pained expression and followed Xia Jing out.
She was fine when they were eating, but now she felt a little absent-minded. After leaving Qin Mo's garden, she couldn't find the right direction. She looked at each of the three roads and finally walked towards the middle one.
It was not that she didn't want to exit, nor was it that she wanted to go in the direction of the old man. She would just go wherever she wanted.
She did not expect that Su Yu would follow her. She quickly caught up with Xia Jing's footsteps and then flashed in front of her. With a questioning tone, she asked, "What's the relationship between you and Mr. Qin?"
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows slightly. What was her relationship with Qin Mo?
"Why do you ask that?" Xia Jing did not answer her question but asked instead. She looked at Su Yu thoughtfully. She was very nervous about Qin Mo.
"I won't hide it from you. I like Mr. Qin."
Su Yu had always been a very frank woman. She did not like to hide anything when she liked someone, especially in front of her rival in love.
"So?" After all, Xia Jing was someone who had gone through a lot of emotions. Of course, she could see Su Yu's admiration for Qin Mo. Especially when Qin Mo held her hand just now, Su Yu's eyes were clearly filled with anger.
"Did you break off the engagement with Shen Ruo Bai because of Mr. Qin?" Perhaps women were creatures that liked to let their imagination run wild, but Su Yu's question made Xia Jing not know whether to laugh or cry. "Miss Su Yu, didn't you watch the news? The reason why Shen Ruo Bai and I broke off the engagement was widely spread on the Internet because of Fan Xin Ran. What does it have to do with Mr. Qin?"
"I don't like to watch the news. I'm asking you now, do you like Mr. Qin?" Su Yu stared at her. Obviously, she would not stop until she asked.
She was a straightforward person, and she hoped that this person could be more straightforward.
"I don't like him." Xia Jing seemed to find it boring. After answering, she walked away from her.
However, Su Yu followed closely: "But Mr. Qin likes you."
She had never seen a woman by Qin Mo's side. It was Xia Jing's first and only time. From the moment she saw the Salamandhys, she felt that Mr. Qin was not ordinary to this woman.
After all, no one was allowed to enter his private garden. Even though she had known him for a long time, he had never let her in to take a look.
But not only did he let this woman enter, but he also picked flowers in his garden.
At first, because of Shen Ruo Bai, she didn't think that this woman would pose any threat to her. After all, she was an excellent man after all. After Shen Ruo Bai, she couldn't possibly have any ideas about other men.
But she didn't expect that the two of them would suddenly break off the engagement.
As for her, she and Mr. Qin had gotten so close all of a sudden, so she couldn't help but worry about them.
Xia Jing stopped and smiled bitterly. "Miss Su Yu, I am a woman who has just lost her love. I no longer know whether to like or not, whether to love or not, what others think and do is someone else's business. I don't need to care about it at all. I don't have the heart to care about it."
She knew that Qin Mo was good to her, but if he said that he liked her, perhaps she did not really believe in men right now.
Shen Ruo Bai had been so nice to her before, but it didn't mean that she could break off the engagement just like that. Men always liked to act very deeply, but that didn't mean that they were affectionate people. Once they became unfaithful, it would be completely unexpected.
Therefore, regardless of whether Qin Mo liked her or admired her, it was meaningless to her.
After all, that kind of love and joy would disappear with the passage of time.
The two of them would eventually become strangers.
Of course, if they could continue to work together for a long time, perhaps they wouldn't reach the level of strangers. They could be considered business partners.
"Don't you really care?" Su Yu seemed to be in disbelief. Compared to Shen Ruo Bai, Mr. Qin was not inferior at all. Although he was slightly older than Shen Ruo Bai, Mr. Qin's ability was praised by everyone at home and abroad.
He was a very outstanding and successful man, and there were countless women who liked him.
Since she had lost her interest in him, and there was such a good man beside her, wouldn't she change her target and be tempted?
"Miss Su Yu, I don't know if you have ever heard of a saying, 'Beauty in the eye of the beholder'. Sometimes, when you think it's good, others may not think it's good. What you care about so much, others may not care about at all. Mr. Qin and I are only purely in a cooperative relationship. Other than cooperation, I may treat him as a friend and a senior who is guiding me in my business, but I will definitely not have any other thoughts. So you don't have to worry about it at all."
Suddenly, Xia Jing felt very tired.
Those who loved and loved each other were indeed very tiring.
"The beauty in the eye of the beholder?" Su Yu thought carefully about this sentence and suddenly laughed. "I think I understand."
Once, when this woman saw her walking with Shen Ruo Bai, she didn't have any feelings for him. She just thought of him as the old man's guest and Su Yu's friend, but the woman's eyes at that time were filled with hostility. It was obvious that she had misunderstood something.
At that time, she thought it was ridiculous, but now that she thought about it...
Perhaps it was the same as when she saw him with Mr. Qin today. She couldn't help but misunderstand that this woman might have other thoughts about Mr. Qin.
Seeing that she understood, Xia Jing did not say anything else and just walked straight ahead.
"Miss Xia, the direction you are going in is not the direction of the manor's exit." She kindly reminded her.
"I know." Xia Jing was not in a hurry to go back immediately. Her mind was in a mess. The environment of the manor was very good, and she wanted to walk around. As for when she could get out, she did not seem to be in a hurry.
Su Yu seemed to want to say something, but she opened her mouth but did not say anything.
She stayed where she was. She did not walk forward, nor did she retreat.
Xia Jing kept walking along the winding corridor without any destination. She held the contract in her hands in front of her chest, and her eyes were lifeless as if she was a zombie.
After walking for a while, she suddenly heard a hearty laugh when she passed by a garden.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
She shifted her gaze and looked into the garden. She saw Shen Ruo Bai pushing the old man and looking at the flowers in the garden she was passing by.
She subconsciously looked back at the path she had walked. She was sure that she wasn't walking in the direction of the old man's residence.
Why did she meet the two of them here?
"Girl, what are you looking around for? Why aren't you coming over?"
