en turned his head to look at Qiao Liang. 。"Where's Wenwen" The voice was a little cold, a little wooden, and somewhat unfamiliar. 。"In the second-floor bedroom, resting in bed after tiring out." 。"...If what Song Xinzhe suspected were true, Qin Jingwen and Qiao Shunchen's relationship would once again be severely damaged. 。Their already wounded feelings might not be able to withstand another strong impact. 。"It's easy to say, but it's not that simple to solve." 。"Their family affairs, oh... they are just too messy. " 。I want to help, but I feel exhausted. 。Qin Jingwen really didn't know where to start with Qiao Shunchen's family affairs. She felt like everything was a mess, a tangled knot. She wanted to help untangle it, but she found that no one was willing to cooperate. 。Their family matters have nothing to do with your relationship, and of course, it shouldn't affect your marriage. 。 。 。 Xue Yao believes that the complexity of a matter is directly related to the person thinking about it. No matter how complex a thing is, if you ignore it, you won't be affected. 。"It's a pity it's not as I imagined. These things may seem unrelated to me, but if they can't solve our relationship problems, we won't be able to settle down." 。" There are..." Qin Jingwen wanted to say something about that girl, but thinking about it, she didn't even want to ask about it herself. It wouldn't make sense to say it out loud. 。"I don't want to get married right now. If we can be together, let's be together, but if we can't, let's just break up." 。" Qin Jingwen sighed and groaned, her face full of worry. 。"How can that be You and Joe Shunchen have been through so much together, how could you just give up" 。Xue Yao didn't agree with Qin Jingwen's idea. They should still fight for what they want, after all, there is always a chance. 。"I am not giving up, I am choosing to go with the flow." 。"I didn't marry him to give him time to sort everything out. A year, ten years, he would just keep finding excuses. As long as we don't break up, I wouldn't leave him." 。But I don't want to participate anymore, it's tiring and I don't feel understood. 。"
I'll still live for myself and my family. " 。" Qiao Shunchen's concealment made Qin Jingwen lose confidence in everything. " 。She felt wronged and heartbroken. This feeling made her increasingly unbearable, making her feel restrained, as if she was happier living alone. 。Xue Yao and Tang Danni looked at each other, their eyes filled with both pity and concern for Qin Jing's gentle affection towards Qiao Shunchen. 。They all think they are a great couple and shouldn't be affected by outside factors. 。But it all seems to be an illusion. 。Qin Jingwen is not as good as they imagined. 。"You don't need to worry about me, I have lived through such hard times before, there is nothing that I can't get through." 。 。Qin Jingwen saw that her best friend was worried about her. She didn't want anyone to be upset because of her, she wanted only herself to be heartbroken. 。"You guys study marriage, I might not get to wear a wedding dress in this lifetime." 。Don't make me feel guilty. If you ever want to study together, call up Chu Yang and Song Xinzhe, the four of you can get together. 。"But I have one request, you can't tell anyone what I said today." 。“ Today’s words are just me letting it all out. ” 。If Qiao Shunchen heard this, he would again try every means to please and persuade him. 。She no longer liked those unrealistic things, she just hoped everything would have a result soon, so that she could live a down-to-earth life. 。 Qin Jing and Tang Danni had a few drinks outside before heading home. After having some alcohol, they felt more open-minded about things, and their moods improved. 。"Having a drink" Qiao Shunchen saw Qin Jingwen come back and went downstairs from the bedroom window. 。At this time, Qin Jingwen also walked in. 。Joe Shun-chen could tell at a glance that Qin Jingwen had been drinking. 。"Well, I had a bit of a drink with Dani. " 。Qin Jingwen was very sober. When she drank, she controlled her alcohol intake. 。
I'm afraid that if I drink too much, I might say something inappropriate to Qiao Shunchen when I get back. I'm also worried that if I drink too much, I won't be able to control myself and will get involved in other people's business again.
"Next time you're drinking, call me and I'll pick you up. You always rely on a designated driver, it's not safe." 。Joe Shun-chen had already voiced such concerns, but Qin Jingwen had never followed through once. 。You've had a long day, how could I possibly trouble you 。Don't worry, I will be careful. 。"
Go upstairs and don't disturb others' rest. 。Qin Jingwen took Qiao Shunchen's hand and walked upstairs. 。Qin Jingwen naturally wanted Qiao Shunchen to pick her up, but thinking about his unanswered phone calls and deliberate secrecy made her angry. 。How could I possibly call him when I'm angry 。Upstairs, Qiao Shunchen helped Qin Jingwen put away her bag and then took her to the dressing room to change clothes. 。"Did you call me today for something" Joe Shunchen asked proactively, his phone displayed several missed calls, he couldn't pretend not to see them. 。"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you want to have lunch together at noon"Qin Jingwen's answer was prepared beforehand because she knew Qiao Shunchen would definitely ask. 。But what she looked forward to most was for Qiao Shunchen to be honest with her. 。“You were hit many times, how can you say you’re fine” 。 Qiao Shunchen asked this because he was afraid Qin Jingwen would notice something. 。"If you don't answer once, I naturally have to hit again. If you still don't answer the second time, I'll be worried." 。You never reject my calls, so of course I have to call a few more times. 。"Later, I called the secretary to confirm that you were busy before I felt relieved." 。Qin Jingwen still took the initiative to tell about the secretary, because she was worried that the secretary would report this matter. 。On one hand, she hoped Qiao Shunchen would be honest with her. On the other hand, she was afraid that he would know what she guessed. 。In short, Qin Jingwen is a contradiction. She doesn't even know how to manage her own emotions. 。It's good that someone is worried, so this kind of thing won't happen again. 。Even if I don't have time, I will ask my secretary to notify you. 。Joe Shun-chen's heart was warmed by Qin Jingwen's words. The more Qin Jingwen treated him this way, the more he felt guilty. 。Whether his keeping Qin Jingwen in the dark was right or wrong, if he told her, what kind of reaction would she have 。 “Okay, I understand.” 。You rest first, I'm going to take a shower. 。"Qin Jingwen then walked to take a shower. " 。She ended the conversation with disappointment and resignation. 。Throughout the entire conversation, Qin Jingwen was anticipating and giving Qiao Shunchun opportunities, hoping he would speak up about the things he had deliberately concealed. 。But in the end, not only did he not say a word, but he also looked embarrassed. 。Since it was so difficult, why should Qin Jingwen expect anything 。 。From this day on, Qin Jingwen still had a smile on her face, but she no longer asked about anything. 。Doing her job well, earning good money, and taking good care of her family are all she cares about. 。At the weekend, as previously agreed, Qiao Shunchen took his family to play tennis. This was also his first time sparring with his father in twenty years. 。Standing on either side of the net, looking at each other, not as they used to be, both felt a deep sense of emotion. 。None of them had expected that this tennis match would be separated for over twenty years. 。"Dad, are you ready I'm going to start." 。"The same sentence now came from Qiao Shunchen's mouth, and more than twenty years ago, this sentence was spoken by his father before every serve. " 。 "Ready, begin!" 。“ Qiao Liang’s words were even more poignant. 。If it weren't for Qin Jingwen's encouragement, this tennis sparring session might never have happened again in our lifetime. 。Tennis officially begins, Qiao Liang appears a bit rusty, but his passion is still evident. 。Joe Shunchen felt his father's exertion, clearly seeing the difference between him and over twenty years ago. 。If it weren't for Qin Jing's gentle ways of easing their relationship, and if it weren't for her orchestrating this opportunity, his memories of playing tennis with his father might have truly been frozen back over twenty years ago. 。Joe Shunchen was in his prime, while Joe Liang was already past the age of confusion. The result was needless to say. 。"I can't win, I can't win, it seems that age is something you can't fight against." 。" Joe Liang wiped the sweat from his brow as he exited the field. 。Although I'm not feeling my best and I'm quite tired, I'm still happy. 。"Grandpa, drink some water" 。"
Hǎnyuè ran to her grandfather's side and handed him the water. " 。Okay, thank you 。"
Joe Liang smiled as he took the water offered by Half Moon, sighing at this harmonious and happy scene 。When the child is sensible, the son is always by his side. 。Although nothing has been resolved, the current scene has intoxicated him. 。"Dad, you drink water too" 。" Half-moon passed another bottle of water to Joe Shunchen. 。"Ban Yue, good girl, thank you, my baby" 。"Later you can play a game with Dad too." 。Compared to Qiao Liang, Qiao Shunchen remained as composed and calm as ever. One couldn't tell at all that they had just engaged in a fierce battle. 。"I'm more of a spectator type. You and your brother should go at it, I'll cheer for you!"Half Moon wasn't particularly sporty and knew she couldn't beat her father anyway, so she might as well just give up. 。"Xuan Xuan, get ready, you'll be playing a game with Dad in a bit."Joe Shunchen knew very well that Half-Moon was slacking off, so he didn't force the child. 。"Daddy, I can fight you, but because I'm still small, if I lose, you can't laugh at me" 。Joe Hsu couldn't refuse, but he also couldn't ignore the gap between himself and his father. 。"No problem, winning and losing is normal" 。When your father was your age, he was already playing tennis with grandpa. "Let's warm up first, Dad will have a drink of water and then we can spar." 。Joe Shun-chen understands children. He, too, was once afraid of losing to his father. 。Xuan Xuan pulled her mother to warm up on the side, while Qiao Shunchen sat beside his father. 。"Tired" "Yeah, tired." 。ghts, Qiao Yu still hadn't gotten to the point even after drinking tea for a while. 。"Auntie, if you and Bixia had come back earlier, wouldn't we have been able to meet sooner" 。Unable to get to the p...
