old love revisited

Chapter 47
His calm demeanor when talking with people is totally different from his usual coldness and rigor in the mall, as if he has fulfilled the duty of a filial son.

She stared at his handsome profile, thinking that she might not have any more contact with him in the future, her heart felt sour, and it was hard to deny the nostalgia that still existed in her heart at this moment.

She met him until today, and all the clips played in her mind like a slideshow. After all, she couldn't bear the sadness, her eyes were red, but she took a step resolutely.

Incandescent lights flickering...

Qu Ranran took a deep breath to suppress the pain in her heart, and then walked towards the car parked in the shade of a tree.

The car door was opened from the inside, and Qu Ranran sat in.

Qin Zixin sat in the driver's seat wearing sunglasses, and said calmly, "Fasten your seat belt, and I'll take you to the airport."

"Thank you."

On the way to the airport, Qin Zixin saw Qu Ranran leaning tiredly on the chair, and couldn't help asking, "Reluctance?"

Qu Ranran didn't respond because she was immersed in her thoughts.

Qin Zixin said again, "Actually, I never thought that you and Hao would be separated so easily."

After regaining consciousness, Qu Ranran adjusted her sitting posture and replied calmly, "I haven't thought about it either."

Qin Zixin asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Qu Ranran asked back, "Do you know the enmity between the Guan family and the previous generation of the Qu family?"

Qin Zixin shrugged and smiled, "If you mean that Qu Yaoting killed Guan Hao's father, I think I know."

"You know?" Qu Ranran was extremely astonished, "Why didn't you tell me the last time you came to see me?"

Qin Zixin looked at the road ahead and smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

Qu Ranran frowned, "Isn't it because you are Qu Yaoting's daughter that you broke up with Guan Hao?"

Qin Zixin shook her head, "If he broke up with me because of this, then at the beginning of our relationship, he had already launched revenge on me. Obviously, I am alive and well now, and this reason for breaking up is not valid."

Qu Ranran asked confusedly, "Do you mean that Guan Hao never cared about the grievances of the previous generation?"

"I'm not quite sure about this, but I can be sure that he gave up this grievance for me, otherwise it would be impossible for me and him to be together in the past few years."

"Really?" Qu Ranran widened her eyes.

Qin Zixin smiled at Qu Ranran through the rearview mirror, "You didn't choose to leave Guan Hao because of this, did you?"

"I..." Qu Ranran didn't speak.

Qin Zixin spit out slowly, "Actually, you should go with your feelings when it comes to feelings. If you think the person you have chosen is right, don't hesitate to keep guarding and trusting him. I just didn't cherish him, which caused me to I lost him completely, so I never blamed him after the breakup."

Qu Ranran was puzzled, "If your view of love is like this, why did you say something completely different to me last time?"

Qin Zixin sighed deeply, "Because I'm jealous of you and want you to quit despite difficulties."

"Get out of trouble?"

"Yeah, I'm jealous that you took away all Hao's love for me, I'm also jealous of Hao's dedication to you now, and I'm even more jealous that you can make Hao break up with me."

Qu Ranran let out the true feelings in her heart, "But I feel that you didn't mean to deceive me at that time."

Qin Zixin smiled bitterly, "That can only mean that my acting is too good."

At this moment, Qu Ranran's thin body fell heavily on the chair, her expression was in a trance.

"I'm very sorry about this matter, but obviously what I said didn't change your decision to be with Hao... I'm very surprised, since you have so firmly chosen to be with Hao, why today? Want to choose to separate again? You don't seem to have told me the reason yet."

Qu Ranran was in a state of absent-mindedness at the moment, and did not answer Qin Zixin.

In fact, thinking about it now, Guan Hao did not actually take revenge on her.

If Guan Hao really wanted to take revenge on her, he could have done it as early as the four years they separated, but he didn't do that, and even secretly asked Qi Siya to give her a huge sum of money.

Also, if he is only now thinking of taking revenge on her, he has thousands of ways, why would he go to such lengths to choose to let her stay by his side?You know, he is ruthless and decisive, and he will never choose a method that requires patience to slowly torture a person, and during the days spent together on the island, she still did not believe that what he said at that time was all revealing acting...

Therefore, he can give up the hatred of the previous generation for Qin Zixin, and naturally he can also do it for her, if he really cares about her.

But if it comes to really caring, how can that jar of ovulation-suppressing medicine be explained?

In fact, the last straw that really broke her trust in him was the potion.

Thinking of this, Qu Ranran suddenly said, "Miss Qin, can I ask you a question?"

"Say."

"You and Guan Hao have been together for so many years, why haven't you had any children?"

Qin Zixin seemed to have expected that Qu Ranran would ask this question a long time ago, so he spit out the promise he had prepared in his heart, "Actually, after my body was traumatized many years ago, the doctor advised me not to have sex. , so I have been in treatment for the past few years, and I have never been with Hao. Until a few months ago, I was finally cured by surgery. Although the doctor told me to be very careful not to get pregnant even if I had sex, because my Physical fitness is not allowed, but I still excitedly ran to T City to find Hao. Hao took me to the gynecology hospital in T City for a reexamination. Hao was also very happy at that time, but unfortunately, Hao was worried about me at the time. He couldn’t get pregnant, and he never took a step beyond me. Even when I bought the medicine to suppress ovulation, he didn’t have the slightest thought for me... Looking back now, Hao’s feelings for me seem to be slowly fading at that time , so he has lost interest in me, and just continues to be with me based on a responsibility."

After Qin Zixin said so much, what impressed Qu Ranran the most was the "drug to suppress ovulation".

Qu Ranran couldn't help asking, "Have you bought medicine to suppress ovulation?"

Qin Zixin nodded, "Yeah...it's really ridiculous to say, I put the can of medicine in the drawer of the hotel to surprise Hao, but that night Hao had dinner with work very late, The other day I was sent back to the United States on the grounds of being busy with work, so the pot of medicine was useless at all.”

"Is the hotel you mentioned XX Hotel?"

"That's right, because Hao stays at XX Hotel every time he comes to T City, so XX Hotel has always reserved a room for Hao, presumably you and Hao have had a lingering relationship there."

It's really XX Hotel, and it's really the pot of ovulation-suppressing medicine that Qin Zixin left behind. It turns out...it has nothing to do with him.

"Stop, stop."

Qu Ranran suddenly became anxious as she tapped on the car window.

Qin Zixin slammed on the brakes and said impatiently, "What are you doing, you're going to the airport soon."

Qu Ranran immediately opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and shook her head vigorously, "I'm not going to the airport anymore, I want to go back!"

Qin Zixin followed and got out of the car, "Are you crazy? Didn't you get out of Guan's house with great difficulty, and you want to go back?"

At this time, a taxi appeared in Qu Ranran's sight.

Qu Ranran stopped the car immediately and got into the carriage.

"Hello..." Qin Zixin patted on the window of the taxi irritably.

Qu Ranran apologetically spat out, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry, I'm the one who troubled you today, I will explain it to you in the future, and thank you for your help today, I have to go first... Driver, go back to Shengya Mountain. "

In the next second, the taxi flew away in Qin Zixin's sight.

Qin Zixin's impetuous and angry face turned into a touch of sadness at this moment, but she didn't mourn for Qu Ranran for too long. She eagerly took out her mobile phone in the car and quickly dialed Guan Hao's number .

……

Close the house.

The banquet was coming to an end, and Li Renjun was helping to see off the guests.

Guan Hao sat comfortably on the only sofa in the room on the second floor, flicking the cigarette ash in his hand.

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Guan Hao pressed the hands-free button, and placed the phone directly on the table in front of him.

"Hao, it's me... I've already done what you said, please return Qianqian to me, she will be afraid without me, I beg you... I won't do anything against your wishes in the future Please don't hurt Qianqian, I won't have any contact with Qu Ranran again..."

Qin Zixin's humble voice was full of fear, and her tone was extremely worried, almost begging for mercy from Guan Hao.

Guan Hao did not immediately respond to Qin Zixin's crying, but took a puff of cigarette, and after slowly exhaling a puff of transparent smoke, he escaped indifferently, "Someone will contact you, remember today's lesson."

It was almost early morning when Qu Ranran returned to Guan's house.

But the Guan family, which was supposed to be asleep, was still brightly lit at this moment.

Qu Ranran walked into the hall of the villa with doubts, and saw Guan's mother, who was very happy tonight, resting on the sofa with a tired face.

"Miss Qu?"

The servant noticed Qu Ranran and called out excitedly.

Guan's mother kept her forehead propped and her eyes closed. Now she heard the servant's call, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at Qu Ranran who was standing in front of her in disbelief.

"Ran Ran..."

"aunt."

Guan's mother was supported by her servant, and she immediately stretched out her hand to hug Qu Ranran, her voice choked with sobs, "Why did you leave without saying a word again? Do you know that auntie is very sad and lost..."

Qu Ranran hugged Guan's mother tightly, her eyes were flushed, and guilt escaped, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you behind, I just... just didn't understand some things, but now I want to understand I'm not leaving anymore."

"Silly boy, why didn't you tell me if there was anything you couldn't think about? Auntie said that everything is up to you..."

"Sorry……"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

A few minutes later, Qu Ranran slowly raised her head from Guan's mother's shoulder, with tears in her eyes, she asked, "Auntie, where is Guan Hao?"

Guan's mother replied truthfully, "It's upstairs. When I heard that you were missing, I rushed to Guan's house and made a fuss. I have been in the room for a long time, and I didn't dare to go in."

"I'm going to see him."

"Go."

……

On the second floor, Qu Ranran opened the unlocked door.

After opening the door, her eyes fell on the south-facing floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Seeing the familiar figure in front of the window, Qu Ranran was greatly relieved, thank God, she was able to see him.

Maybe because he heard the sound of Qu Ranran entering the room, Guan Hao turned his face, pressed the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, and his thin lips slightly escaped, "You thought you would never come back after you left."

Hearing his obviously suppressed emotional voice, Qu Ranran stood not far from him, she was almost crying, she stood stiffly, and did not hear Qu Ranran's response, Guan Hao's voice was even colder, " I was going to announce our marriage tonight."

Qu Ranran choked up, holding back the tears that were about to come out of her eyes, "I never thought of leaving you."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Guan Hao's lips, "After changing clothes and taking away all the documents, do you still dare to say that you haven't thought about leaving?"

Qu Ranran bit her lower lip, holding back her tears, and kept breathing.

Guan Hao turned his gaze to the French window again, and the light in the garden illuminated his handsome facial features.

Seeing the sadness that had never appeared on his face, Qu Ranran ran over, threw herself into Guan Hao's arms, buried her head in his arms and cried bitterly.

Guan Hao hugged her tightly, tighter than ever, as if he was afraid that she would disappear out of thin air at any time.

Qu Ranran whimpered and cried like a child who has been wronged all the time. She explained while crying, "I'm sorry, Guan Hao... I thought you didn't care about me at all. Sorry for being so heavy..."

Guan Hao listened to Qu Ranran's explanation quietly, and buried his face deeply in her neck.

"I just can't believe there is a future between us. You never told me that you care about me. I thought the only person we care about is me..."

Qu Ranran was exhausted from crying, and she had never humbled herself in front of him without dignity for a moment.

Guan Hao still hugged her tightly, as if he would never let go.

Qu Ranran sobbed and fell on his shoulder.

Guan Hao finally spoke slowly, "Ran Ran, I love you."

Qu Ranran's tears welled up again, because the three words he said were the three words she had dreamed of for so many years.

"sorry Sorry……"

She actually almost missed the chance to spend a lifetime with her.

……

Waking up from Guan Hao's arms, Qu Ranran felt such happiness for the first time.

As soon as she opened her eyes, listening to the sound of splashing water in the bathroom and the buzzing sound of an electric shaver, Qu Ranran couldn't help laughing, pinching the quilt happily.

"Morning." Guan Hao sat on the edge of the bed with a clean body, and kissed her eyes, "Do you want to get up?"

"Uh... I don't want to move."

"Then I will accompany you."

Guan Hao made a gesture to get on the bed and pulled up the quilt.

Qu Ranran pushed Guan Hao, looked at the clock on the wall, and asked, "Didn't you say you have business to deal with at the company?"

Guan Hao hugged Qu Ranran in his arms, as if immersed in the comfort of the moment, closed his eyes and said, "I'm always busy with business, and occasionally I have to take a break from my busy schedule."

Qu Ranran got up from his arms, and urged with a smile, "Mr. Guan, you will be supported by you in the future. Hurry up and make money for me now, and I will live a luxurious life as a lady in the future."

Guan Hao turned over and put Qu Ranran under him, "My current money is enough for you to live the life you want, now, can I leave the company?"

Qu Ranran exclaimed, "Then I will sell this news to the newspaper immediately, so that the stock market will plummet, and I will definitely make a steady profit."

Guan Hao smiled and kissed her, "You can accompany me to the company!"

"No, what happened last night made me very guilty. I want to be with your mother today."

Guan Hao squinted at her, "I can't make it back from New York City today."

Qu Ranran said, "Then I'll go there in the afternoon and accompany you in the evening."

"really?"

"Ah."

Qu Ranran really felt that she coaxed Guan Hao out of the house today.

a week later.

Early in the morning, when Qu Ranran was changing clothes and was about to go out, she received a call from Ji Lingtian.

Because she was in a good mood, Qu Ranran answered the phone with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Ji."

Ji Lingtian was not surprised by Qu Ranran's joy, his tone was flat, "Ranran, do you really understand the people around you?"

"Mr. Ji, why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask how you and Guan Hao are getting along now."

Qu Ranran put the phone on her ear, pressed it on her shoulder, and gestured in front of her with a lavender dress, "Very good, he is very good to me."

"Ran Ran..." Ji Lingtian suddenly called out deeply.

"Huh?" Qu Ranran replied absently.

Ji Lingtian said, "I'm sorry that I might want to cruelly destroy the illusion of happiness you have now."

Qu Ranran finally stopped gesticulating clothes and frowned, "Mr. Ji, I don't understand what you want to say to me."

"I have posted the facts I want to tell you on your mobile phone. You can choose to delete it after reading it. No one will find out."

"what?"

Ji Lingtian has ended the call.

Qu Ranran froze on the spot holding the phone.

What does Ji Lingtian mean?What exactly does he mean?
Why does she have an inexplicable panic?

It seems that there is a kind of sadness that the happiness in front of her is about to leave her...

Putting down her clothes, Qu Ranran sat on the edge of the bed.

Sure enough, there were several ding dong ding dong text messages from the mobile phone.

Qu Ranran didn't want to open it, and she didn't dare to open it, but Ji Lingtian seemed to have pinpointed her weakness so precisely, which made her feel at ease at the moment.

Thinking of the hard-won relationship with Guan Hao last night, and trusting Guan Hao, Qu Ranran opened a few text messages from Ji Lingtian on her phone.

The newsletter has no text content, only four pictures.

All four pictures are of a man and a woman...

The man is handsome, and the woman is pretty. They steal from the back and the side respectively - a picture of a man entering a women's luxury brand store with a man hugging a woman intimately.

When seeing the man and woman in the photo, Qu Ranran covered her mouth with her hand.

She couldn't believe it, her whole body was limp on the bed, her originally charming and rosy face turned pale instantly.

……

In the afternoon, wearing sunglasses, Qu Ranran looked up at the headquarters of the "Haotian" Group that she faced for the first time.

She has always known that "Haotian" has done a great job, but she never thought that the headquarters of "Haotian" is such a towering skyscraper in the center of New York.

At a glance, under the transparent glass, employees are busy shuttling inside.

A female employee in professional attire who had been waiting in the parking lot appeared in front of Qu Ranran, and said respectfully, "Miss Qu, please follow me."

Qu Ranran withdrew her gaze from staring at "Haotian", and followed the pace of the female staff in a daze.

There are many Chinese employees in "Haotian", but most of them are American employees, so walking in the company, all Qu Ranran can hear is pure English communication.

Qu Ranran has always only known that Guan Hao's company has grown big, and his own worth is already at the top of the world's Forbes rich list, but she has never imagined that his group is so magnificent, which made her feel that she once again It turned out that the understanding of him had never been deepened in the past six years.

The staff led Qu Ranran into Guan Hao's exclusive elevator, and it took several minutes for the elevator to go straight up to the 99th floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Guan Hao's foreign assistant walked towards her with a smile.

Fortunately, although Qu Ranran's English is not proficient, it is not to the point of impossibility.

The assistant led Qu Ranran towards Guan Hao's office.

"Miss Qu, the president is in a meeting now. You can wait for him in the president's office, or I can inform the president's secretary now."

Qu Ranran smiled and shook her head, "No need, I'll just wait for him here!"

The assistant said, "Alright then, I'll make you a cup of coffee."

Qu Ranran said politely, "Thank you."

The assistant leaves.

Qu Ranran looked around Guan Hao's office.

The main style is black and gray, high-end and simple.

The floor is covered with heavy wool carpets that are silently trampled on, and there are large French windows on the south side, where his desk is also located. Next to the south side and the west side is a row of wine cabinets that reach to the ceiling, which should store a lot of red wine. It is a row of bookcases, which seem to be thick and useful books.

After looking at this office and thinking about the president's office in T City, which is completely different from this style, Qu Ranran suddenly felt a little strange to him again, because you couldn't guess his preferences or his style at all.

I don't know how long it took before Guan Hao's deep and pleasant male voice came, "Why didn't anyone notify me when I came?"
