C18 Beautiful Enemy 2
He went after her. "To the west, is your enemy really a woman? You, don't tell me you really fell in love with your enemy? "
These words were just a joke, but Yi Xiangxi was shocked when he heard it.
Before he could answer, the secretary hurried in.
The secretary, Xiao Liu, was very energetic and never panicked when dealing with things. However, his complexion was not good today and was in a hurry. When he saw Yi Xiangxi, he hurriedly said, "President Yi, I was just looking for you …"
"What is it?"
Song Weichao snapped his fingers: "Trade secret?" I don't want to hear it. "
Yi Xiangxi, small Liu saw Song Weichao, he knew he was the boss's old friend, but he didn't hide it, "We were preparing to start a big new project when we encountered a problem... "President Yi, take a look at this document. The other party said that they might cancel their cooperation with us …"
He held up the document and read through it carefully, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
The Jiang party, the Jiang party! This fellow refused to give up.
He actually gave him such a big problem. Jiang Family has been in operation in this city for dozens of years, it seems that they have earned their reputation. They have suffered such a huge loss this time, they will definitely not let this go.
Sure enough, Jiang Fang had made a big move. He didn't care about the cost. Even if he didn't want to harm others, he still wanted revenge.
"President Yi, Jiang's Group's price is way higher than ours. They won't be able to get much profit from this project, but we've invested so much into this project that it's hard to imagine our losses if we were to terminate the contract at this time …"
This was a mutual destruction!
Yi Xiangxi was calm and collected: "Leave this matter for now, I will take care of it."
Little Liu dutifully retreated.
Song Weichao noticed something was off and stopped smiling mischievously: "West, is this the enemy you were talking about?"
He nodded.
"Is there any solution?"
"Don't worry about it for now."
Song Weichao patted his shoulder: "Lord Yi, the Jiang Family Tree is very deep, it's not that easy to get along with. "I can understand being a businessman, but you have to be careful when dealing with each other that badly."
For three consecutive days, Yi Xiangxi returned late.
He did not return until nearly two in the morning.
The light in the living room was on, and the woman was curled up on the sofa, asleep.
She was still wearing his large shirt, revealing half of her snow-white calves. Her hair hung in a mess, giving off an abnormally pure and gentle feeling.
Hearing the noise, she stood up, rubbed her eyes and sleepily asked: "Lord Yi, you're back?"
He should not.
Suddenly, he felt that it was very strange.
He didn't know when, but he had gotten used to this scene.
He had lived alone for so many years and had never known that there was a woman waiting for him at home. In the middle of the night, when you came back from work, she would wake up to greet you and ask if you were hungry.
"I've prepared a midnight snack for you. Do you want some?"
He still didn't answer.
He watched her barefoot on the carpet. After a while, she came back with a large bowl of scalding fish porridge.
In the dead of night, it was truly a great pleasure to have a bowl of sweet porridge.
He was just hungry, so he didn't refuse.
While he was eating, she took a teapot and steeped a pot of Longjing. A faint fragrance echoed in the room. Every night, he would have a glass of tepid Longjing. She knew his hobbies perfectly.
As the teacup was handed over, he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Qiao Xiaomai, why are you so nice to me?"
His eyes were full of confusion.
There was confusion in her eyes.
She thought of the two bloody clothes he had treasured, the black machete, and the marks on his wrist. What sort of deep hatred did the Qiao and Yi Families have?
She couldn't imagine it, but with intuition, it made sense. Otherwise, why would a stranger, who had eaten so much, plotting to murder a woman?
Her tone was as gentle as it ever was.
"Lord Yi, if there's really something, I want you to be honest with me. "My sworn enemy should be resolved, not tied up. I am willing to reconcile with you …"
Reconciliation!
She said make up!
How to reconcile?
He stared at the ruddy, bright face.
Her eyes were so sincere, her voice so gentle, her body language so fragrant and elegant — she was the closest woman he had ever been to in his life, and also the first time he had ever been close to her. At the same time, he was also the person who had suffered the most.
Now, she said she wanted to dissolve the grudge between them.
He suddenly laughed.
His eyes seemed unfathomable.
"Qiao Xiaomai, do you really want to dissolve the grudge between us?"
"As long as you tell the truth."
"You don't blame me for ruining your marriage?"
It was supposed to be weird, but it was already a part of the plan. It was useless to blame him.
"You don't blame me for imprisoning you here for two months and not letting you see your father?"
She still shook her head. "As long as my father is safe and well, I won't blame you."
As long as her father was well, she could let bygones be bygones.
"Qiao Xiaomai, you sure are generous. However, I am not willing to reconcile with you, so what should I do? "
Her eyes dimmed. He already knew that it would be futile. If a man was willing to spend such a huge amount of money to scheme for everything, could it be that he could turn the conflict into friendship with just a few words?
Qiao Xiaomai was not so naive. However, the weaker side always wished for a miracle to happen.
He stood up, and the warmth from the past was completely gone from his face. He said in an exceptionally cold voice, "Qiao Xiaomai … You're not dreaming that I'm in love with you, are you? "
Her eyes widened.
"Or are you in love with me?"
This smile caused Qiao Xiaomai to shudder.
She suddenly remembered herself and his first face, that terrible night. Every time he laughed like this, there would be nothing left of him.
She was trying to make peace with him. How could a wolf and a sheep negotiate? She was not on the same level as him, so they did not have the right to negotiate.
The sarcasm on the corner of his mouth deepened. "Women are so forgetful, aren't they? No grudges? No grudges? Qiao Xiaomai, can you really forget the hatred between us so quickly? "
She did not accept his sarcasm, but said mildly, "Marriage is nothing to me. Marrying someone is fine, but the result is the same for everyone else. It's just to protect my father's medical expenses. "Since you can pay, I don't care what you have in mind."
That night, the two of them made an exception and did not sleep together. Yi Xiangxi stayed in the secret room in the basement all night long.
This was his forbidden area, and Qiao Xiaomai was never allowed to enter.
The door was firmly shut. Qiao Xiaomai walked to the door a few times, but had to step back. She dared not touch his secret.
The next day, Yi Xiangxi woke up early.
Qiao Xiaomai was forcefully dragged into the locker room, only to see a brand-new box. Inside the box was a light green dress, jewelry, and matching shoes, bags, and everything else.
"Quickly change your clothes and follow me out."
Instinctively, she asked, "Where to?"
He said mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
