Chapter 919 -919: In the Middle of the Night, She Came…
A night without dreams. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
At ten o’clock the next morning, Su Hongxing received a call from Wen Beibei, “Su, tell me the truth, will Brother Shiqing never like me in his lifetime?”
She had come to work early this morning, thinking she could see Ye Shiqing. However, the office staff told her that Ye Shiqing had gone on a rural field trip with Qiao Qiao early in the morning.
She remembered it was an afternoon schedule, yet the time had changed, and not a single person had told her, the confidential secretary.
Su Hongxing didn’t know if Wen Beibei was under some kind of stress and hesitated for a moment, unsure how to reply.
Wen Beibei felt to her like a second Cao Shiyu. If she answered in a way that Wen Beibei didn’t like, would Wen Beibei do something to hurt Qiao Qiao?
“Brother Shiqing seems to really like Xiaoqiao,” Wen Beibei muttered to herself again.
“Even without Xiaoqiao, Ye Shiqing wouldn’t like you, do you understand? The grievances between you and Ye Shiqing have nothing to do with Xiaoqiao. Ye Shiqing doesn’t have those kinds of feelings for you, so no matter what you do, he won’t care about you,” Su Hongxing decided to tell the truth.
The chemistry between men and women is indeed peculiar. If there’s love, one look can be enough to fall in love. If there’s love, it can grow over time too.
But if there’s no love, even if you share a bed for a lifetime, you still cannot fall in love—like Cao Zhen, who, despite decades of marriage with Guan Ya, still couldn’t forget Jiang Chengyun and didn’t love Guan Ya.
“Are you afraid that I’ll hurt Xiaoqiao? Su, I won’t, you can rest assured. If Xiaoqiao can make Brother Shiqing happy, I will help them get together. The person I can’t have, I won’t destroy them, but hope they can be happy,” Wen Beibei said before hanging up the phone.
She had been unwilling to give up before, but now she felt that Su Hongxing saw things more clearly than she did.
Because she liked Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao got Ye Shiqing’s attention and affection without even trying. And no matter how well she did, she couldn’t catch Ye Shiqing’s eye…
After Wen Beibei hung up the phone, Su Hongxing felt a bit uneasy.
She wondered if there was a hidden meaning in Wen Beibei’s words. Was she overthinking, or did Wen Beibei actually plan to do something to attract Ye Shiqing’s attention?
Su Hongxing tried to call Qiao Qiao, but her phone was unreachable. She called the municipal office and only then did she learn that Qiao Qiao had accompanied Ye Shiqing on the rural field trip.
She discussed the issue with Ye Qilan, who tried to contact Ye Shiqing, but his phone was also out of service, probably due to poor signal in the rural areas.
That evening, in Chen Village.
Chen Village was a well-known impoverished mountain village. Qiao Qiao had never been to such a backward mountain area since she was a child and felt very uncomfortable. She was sleeping on a wooden bed, and the windows were patched up with newspaper, making a rustling sound with every gust of wind, which seemed quite sinister.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and just when she was agonizing over it, she heard a knock on the door.
She was startled and asked softly, “Who’s there?”
“Xiaoqiao, it’s me, Xiaobei, open the door!” Wen Beibei’s voice came from outside.
Qiao Qiao was wary of Wen Beibei, especially at this time, in Chen Village, such a backward mountain area. If Wen Beibei meant to harm her, what should she do?!
“Xiaoqiao, did you hear me, open the door!” Wen Beibei called out again.
Remembering there were others nearby, Qiao Qiao bit her lip and eventually opened the door.
“I thought you wouldn’t open the door, and I’d have to spend the night on the mountain top,” Wen Beibei stepped inside, stamping her feet, “I have nowhere to stay tonight, can I squeeze in with you? You don’t mind, do you?”
