Chapter 398 Let's Break Up

For those in love, the fusion of body and mind is a very happy thing.

It's different from when they were in Africa. At that time, they were a little clumsy, but now they are in love with each other. Sure enough, after falling in love, it will be a matter of course. This is the time when the body and mind are most relaxed and the happiest.

Later, she lay in his arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

His hand stroked her soft long hair, and he couldn't put it down. Now, he finally experienced the feeling of truly loving someone. He was very annoyed. He knew that he would be so happy. When he was in Africa, he shouldn't have pushed her away. However, he was even more fortunate that he finally met her, "Haichen," he said, "I'm going back to Z city to work."

Hai Chen's eyes flickered slightly, a little disappointed: "When?"

"It will be about a week after the work here is handed over," he said. This is the longest time limit he has obtained after fighting with the big boss.

Hai Chen didn't speak, but stretched her arms around his waist, buried her face deeply in his arms, she yearned for his warm and thick embrace.

After a slight silence, he said, "Follow me."

Hai Chen was slightly startled, and looked up at him.

And he suddenly took out a diamond ring and put it on the index finger of her right hand devoutly, "Marry me."

She was stunned for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Are you... serious?"

He mourned inexplicably, "I've been serious about you from the beginning to the present." Whether in Africa or here, his feelings for her are true.

Haichen lowered her eyes and put on the diamond ring. The luster reflected by the diamond was a bit cold. The long-cherished wish of her secret love for many years had come true, but she felt that it was not so real. It was even like a dream, "But I..."

"I don't allow you to refuse!" He said domineeringly and forcefully, "Qiao Haichen, you can't refuse me."

She mourned slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said seriously: "I promised my dad that I would be a volunteer for ten years, so if you think about it, we may be separated for a long time."

"I will support you." He said, he has been single for so many years, as long as he can spend the rest of his life with her, what about living apart?
But she was not so optimistic in her heart. After all, it was too easy to make a promise, but only after she experienced it did she know how difficult it would be?The long-distance relationship is also the relationship that is the most difficult to maintain and the most prone to accidents.

*
However, Haichen's worry seems superfluous, because for the next six months, although Zirui lives in City Z, they will talk on the phone every morning and evening, and he will come to Moda to accompany her at the end of every month For a week, their love did not fade because of the long distance, but it grew stronger and stronger in anticipation, as thick as honey.

Once, Haichen asked him, "Don't ordinary companies only take annual leave once a year? But why does he take annual leave every month?"

At that time, he was wearing an apron and cooking for her, "Who said I took annual leave?"

She didn't understand, "It's not annual leave, where did you get so much leave?"

"I save up every weekend and take vacation together at the end of the month," he said.

Haichen was slightly startled, and his heart was slightly touched. In order to see her, did he work continuously every month? "Aren't you tired after working for more than 20 consecutive days?"

"When I think of you, I won't be tired." He said, but he didn't tell him that he used the strike as an excuse to fight against the big boss to go to work like this.

His love words are always spoken in such a casual way, Haichen's heart is moved, and the warm warmth flows silently.

*
By the beginning of December, Haichen's volunteer career in Moda County was over. She first went back to the capital to deal with some affairs. Before returning to Chicago for the New Year, she went to City Z.

She didn't tell him in advance, and she called to tell him after she checked into the hotel.

Zirui thought she would go back to Chicago directly, but she didn't expect to come to City Z. Naturally, she was overjoyed, "Why are you here?"

Haichen stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, where she could overlook the entire city of Z. There was a bit of coquettishness in her words: "Every time you come to me, why can't I take the initiative to come to you?"

Zirui smiled warmly, "Then you should also call me, so I can pick you up at the airport."

Haichen joked, "Mr. Gao, I have healthy limbs and can read and write, so I won't get lost."

"Then, Miss Qiao, where are you now?" Zirui asked.

"At the Reardon Hotel," she said.

Zirui was startled, and looked out the window. The Reardon Hotel stood proudly in his line of sight, with a smile on his lips. Unexpectedly, she lived next to ZK Group, so close to him, "give me the room number , I'll go find you right away."

Just as Zirui walked out of the office, the big boss happened to come to him, "Zirui, Wu Jing is back, let's have lunch together."

"I've got a date," he said.

The big boss was a little strange, "Who are you dating?" He just asked Su Xi just now, and he knew that Zirui didn't have any social arrangements at noon today.

"Friend." Zirui said.

"Call your friends together." The big boss said.

"Inconvenient." When Zirui spoke, he had already walked to the elevator.

When the big boss wanted to say something, Ke Zirui had already entered the elevator.Well!The big boss is full of black lines, this guy, what are you doing in such a hurry?

*
The Richton Hotel in Z City, just next to the ZK Group, is a super five-star hotel. Its chain hotels spread across hundreds of countries and regions, and its headquarter is located in Chicago.

As soon as Zirui walked to the hotel lobby, she saw Haichen was already waiting there. She was wearing a pink and white British-style shirt, jeans and flat shoes, with her ponytail tied up.Her casual style does not feel incompatible with the luxury of the Richton Hotel, but complements each other.

He just came back from Moda last week, so they haven't seen each other for just a week.

When seeing him, Haichen had a look of surprise in his eyes. Whether in Africa or Moda, he always dressed casually and mostly casually, but now he is wearing a shirt and suit, a standard social elite. She approached him , naturally took his arm affectionately.

"What are you taking me to eat?" she asked.

Zirui looked at her sideways. She had fair skin and glossed lips. She looked good, which gave him the urge to kiss, "I thought...you would invite me to your room first."

Well!Haichen was slightly embarrassed, her ears turned red, and she changed the topic: "I'm hungry."

His footsteps were slightly stagnant, "Then..." He looked at her meaningfully, and teased narrowly, "Should I take you back to the room to feed you first, or take you to the restaurant first?"

Haichen was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he let go of his arm.Although she grew up abroad, she has never been in a relationship, never had a boyfriend, and naturally she is not his opponent in terms of colorful teasing.

Seeing her blushing, coquettish and shy, Zirui was in a good mood, took her hand and left, "Let's go, eat first!"

Unfortunately, they met Su Xi right after they walked out of the hotel. After giving birth, she looked a little plump. She looked at their interlocking hands, and was a little surprised at first, and then said suddenly, "Oh... So you were already together?"

She looked at Haichen with a smile, "Ms. Qiao, hello, I'm Director Gao's secretary." She explained neatly, "Sorry, I misunderstood you before."

Haichen shook his head, then looked at Zirui, if he really misunderstood, he must have been misleading.

"Goodbye," Su Xi waved her hand. She was in a hurry for her lunch break, and she had to go home to feed her baby.

"Miss Su looks pretty good." Hai Chen said, "It's pretty good that she's in this state after giving birth." Her doctor's professional habits were violated again.

Unexpectedly, Zirui went to look at her, "If you are envious, you can try it too?"

Well!Haichen was slightly embarrassed, with a slight smile on his face, and shyly said: "Let's talk!"

Zirui was taken aback, as if... there could be more to this matter, he immediately said, "Then let's strike while the iron is hot, Miss Qiao, these few days seem to be your ovulation period..." When he went to Moda last week , she was finishing her volunteer work there, but he accidentally discovered her application form and some materials on XZ, he guessed that she might apply to XZ this time... So, he thought, hurry up After giving birth to a child, maybe she would be willing to stay by his side and settle down.

He actually knew her ovulation period, and Haichen was even more embarrassed, "We have to wait until we get married to talk about having a baby."

"I've already proposed," he said.

Haichen looked at him, eyes full of light, and said lightly, "I haven't agreed yet."

"I've already worn all my rings. Why, do you still want to regret it?" He held her right hand, and on her slender ring finger was still wearing the ring he gave her.

She smiled, and in that smile was pure happiness.

They met a lot of Zirui's colleagues near the ZK Group and just on the street. They all knew that Zirui was a bachelor at the diamond king's fifth level. Now they saw him holding a girl, and they were a little curious. Introduce them generously, "This is my girlfriend."

What's more unfortunate is that in the restaurant, they met the big boss and Wu Jing.

Seeing them, the big boss was obviously very surprised, and said to Wu Jing in a low voice, "No wonder, this kid doesn't eat with us, so he has an appointment with someone." Bad, "Zi Rui, don't you introduce us?"

"My girlfriend, Qiao Haichen." Zirui introduced, "Haichen, you know Fengcheng, this is Wu Jing."

The big boss nodded slightly at her, while Wu Jing was full of smiles, "Hi, Miss Qiao." He invited, "It's such a coincidence that we met, let's go together."

"I'm sorry, it's not very convenient." Zi Rui directly refused, the big boss is okay, this Wu Jing seems to want something bad, not to mention, he wants to live a two-person world with her, and it is inconvenient to talk with them around .After speaking, lead her and leave.

"Zi Rui..." Wu Jing called him.

"Forget it!" The big boss stopped him lightly, "Don't rush to be a light bulb, this Zirui finally fell in love, so don't get involved." He said flatly, "You If you want that energy, find one quickly.”

Well!Wu Jing was so choked that he couldn't answer a word.

*
Just at 05:30 in the afternoon, Gao Zirui stood up.

"What are you doing?" Wu Jing asked.

"Get off work." Zirui said.

"Don't bring it so early!" Wu Jing asked.

"It's getting late, it's time to get off work," Zi Rui said, the meeting is over, and the work in hand is over, so what are you waiting for if you don't get off work?
Seeing Zirui's figure disappear outside the office, Wu Jing spread his hands, "This...he was planning to discuss where to go for dinner at night, so he left just like that..." He snorted, "Prefer sex over friends."

The big boss smiled, "Since you know he's going to see his girlfriend, you can save yourself!" Wu Jing didn't know if he was stimulated by Zirui's girlfriend, and this afternoon was a little... not quite right .

*
When the big boss told Qingge about Zirui and Haichen, Qingge was drinking water, but after listening to it, she choked on the water and coughed a few times before recovering.

"Isn't this the ending you want to see?" The big boss was surprised by her surprise.

"But when I was in Moda, I looked at them, and it seemed that they didn't call at all." Qingge said.

"I think that Zirui has clearly harbored ill intentions towards Ms. Qiao." The big boss suddenly understood the reason why Zirui refused to go back to work in City Z half a year ago, and he also knew where he went when he asked for consecutive vacations at the end of the month. .

Such an ending naturally made Qingge happy. She took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Qiao Haichen.

"Stop calling, what time is it?" The big boss snatched her phone, "The young couple is living a two-person world, isn't it good for you to disturb her?"

Qingge turned her head to look at him, "You really know how to behave."

He held her waist with both hands, rubbing it down little by little, his eyes were burning, "Of course, what I know best is your style." After finishing speaking, he kissed her lips.

*
At this moment, Haichen was sitting in the living room of Zirui's house, and Gao's mother looked at her with a cheerful face, because Zirui had warned her beforehand, she didn't dare to speak more, she just looked at Haichen and smiled silly.Seeing his wife like this, Father Gao shook his head.

The visit to Gao’s house was initiated by Haichen. She brought some supplements for Gao’s father and mother. When Zirui saw the gift box of supplements she bought, she frowned slightly, “It’s fine if you come alone. Shopping." He knew that volunteers were not paid, and she didn't want the money he gave her, and she always said that she had it.She was usually frugal, but she was willing to buy such expensive supplements for his parents. In his heart, he still felt sorry for her.

"It should." She said, and then she was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I didn't know what to buy, so I asked my mother, and she gave me advice."

"Your mother knew you came to my house?" Zirui was quite surprised. He only knew that her father had passed away and her mother was still alive, but he never heard her mention her mother.

She nodded. Since she was a child, she has always been a good girl. Naturally, she has reported to her mother about important matters such as falling in love.

At 09:30 in the evening, on the way back to the hotel from Gao’s house, when Zi Rui was driving, she suddenly heard her say, “Zi Rui, come back to my house with me for Christmas!”

"Okay." Zirui was overjoyed, he was going to visit his mother-in-law, so the marriage should not be far away, "I'm going to ask for leave tomorrow."

*
This little girl is better than a newlywed. As soon as she entered the hotel room, he hugged her.

With a shy face, Hai Chen pushed him, "I...haven't showered yet."

But he gently kissed her lips, she was dizzy by his kiss, and he whispered in her ear, "I've thought about this for a long time... Who told you not to let me at noon..."

After lunch, he went back to the company for a meeting, because he could see the Rielton Hotel from the window of the meeting room when he looked up, and he kept wondering which window she would be in, so he was absent-minded all afternoon, and went to work again after work. Back at Gao's house, he could resist not being with her in the car... It's the limit.

The soft and wide bed in the hotel is much more comfortable than Moda's cramped single bed. He pestered her time and time again until late at night before they embraced and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, she was still sleeping in his arms, and the sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Only then did he see the specifications of the room, gorgeous decoration, and exquisite decoration. This should be the top-level presidential suite of the Richton Hotel.

After taking a bath, he saw that she was still sleeping deeply, so he wrote a note for her in fear of disturbing her sleep.After he went downstairs, he went to the front desk, took out his bank card, and reported the room number to renew her room fee.

He did this because he wanted to take care of her, because he knew that she had no income, and the room she lived in had a listing price of five figures.

The reception lady replied, "Sir, Ms. Qiao shows the hotel's platinum card when checking in to the hotel, and there is no charge for checking in."

Zirui was surprised. He had heard of the Platinum Card of the Rildon Hotel. With this card, you can stay in all the hotels in Rildon without paying, and you can stay in the top presidential suites.It is said that there are less than five such cards in the world, and almost no one has seen them, but how could she have them?

"Are you sure?" he asked.

The receptionist said, "Yes, sure."

*
When eating at noon, Zi Rui raised his eyes and looked at her. She was elegant and beautiful.

Embarrassed by him, thinking of the madness of the two of them last night, Haichen still felt a little tired. She asked softly, "Is there something on my face?"

"No," Zirui said flatly, "You are beautiful." She is not as eye-catching as Qing Ge, nor is she as enchanting as Xu Wan. He found that there was a kind of leisure and leisure in her that he couldn't see through.

Haichen's ears were red, her eyes were drooping, and there was a slight smile on her lips.

Seeing her innocent appearance, Zirui sighed slightly, "Let's eat." Then he helped her pick up vegetables.

"Zi Rui, have you asked for leave?" Haichen asked him, there is no holiday in China for Christmas.

Zirui was startled, and then said: "I've been very busy recently, and the project I'm in charge of is already under construction, maybe..." Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore, and held her hand, "I will try my best Try to finish the work at hand before Christmas."

Haichen nodded.

He asked, "What time is your flight tomorrow?"

"Nine o'clock," she said.

After that, he took her to a specialty store, saying that he would buy some products for her to take back to Chicago. When paying, he swiped his card, but entered the wrong password several times. Haichen took out her wallet, took out her card and handed it over, she said, "Swipe mine," she added, "There is no password."

After leaving the store, he remained silent.

After returning to the hotel, Haichen went to the bathroom and came out, seeing that Zirui's face was not very good, he was holding her passport in his hand, and he looked at her with strange eyes, which made her flustered inexplicably.

"Miss Reardon," he waved her passport, and then put it on the table, his expression was a little stiff.

Hai Chen was surprised, "Zi Rui?"

Zi Rui's complexion was quite bad, and he laughed at himself in his tone: "We have been together for nine months and ten days, but I didn't know your real name until now."

His anger made Haichen feel very bad, and his face turned pale, "Zi Rui, I..." She never thought of hiding anything from him, and he didn't ask about the English name, so she naturally didn't say anything.

"You only need to swipe the platinum card to live in the top presidential suite, and you use the black card to buy things..." He sneered, "Even if you take all the LOGOs of the wallet, handbag, and luggage, you still can't change them. The fact of the product..."

When he found out in the morning that she was using a hotel platinum card, he did not face up to the items she used, ranging from suitcases to keychains, all of which were top-notch luxury items without exception, but all the LOGOs were taken away.

But when he bought something in the store just now, he deliberately entered the wrong password, but he didn't expect that she swiped the black card.He knew that AmEx's black card was recognized as the "King of Cards" in the world. This kind of card could not be applied for at all, it could only be handled by invitation.

But now, he confirmed his guess from the name on her passport. The only people whose surname is Reardon and who can still have a platinum card are the heirs of the Reardon family.

The woman in front of her is so strange, she has such an invisible sense of distance from him, and this distance is impossible for him to match in his entire life, "Miss Reardon, seeing a poor person like me trying to get money For your use, like a clown who wants to give you what you think is the best, but in your eyes is dismissive, don’t you think it’s contemptuous and fun?”

"I've never thought about it this way," she eagerly wanted to explain, "Zi Rui...listen to me...I..."

"Enough!" Zi Rui said coldly, what annoyed him was her deceit and the invisible distance between them.

Seeing him resolutely turn around and leave, Haichen felt as if something was missing in his heart, the pain was unbearable, and he chased after him, "Zi Rui!"

He faltered slightly.

At this time, she didn't know what to say, how to explain to him, and finally said: "I'll wait for you in Chicago. Wait for you to come and spend Christmas with me."

Zirui laughed at himself, "I'm sorry, I'm Chinese, and I don't have the habit of celebrating Christmas." After saying that, he left.

"Zi Rui!"

"Let's break up!" He pursed his lips tightly and said coldly.

Haichen froze in place, watching him leave helplessly.

*
That night, she called him several times, but he didn't answer.At that time, he was asking Wu Jing to go to the bar to drink, drink after drink, Wu Jing was stunned, "Zi Rui, what's wrong with you?"

Zirui didn't say anything, just kept drinking, which scared Wu Jing into a fool. Later, when he got drunk, Wu Jing was afraid that he would be sent back to Gao's house, and Gao's mother would be worried, so he carried him back to his own home.

When Wu Jing threw him on the sofa, Zi Rui hugged him suddenly, "Hai Chen..." Wu Jing frowned with black lines all over his head, and pushed him away. However, he probably guessed that this guy should be with Girlfriends had a fight.

In the early morning of the next day, Zirui was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone. After a hangover, he had a splitting headache. He answered the phone without even looking at it, "Hello?"

"I never thought of deliberately hiding anything from you. About my family background, I didn't tell you if you didn't ask me. If I make you angry because of this, I apologize to you," Haichen said in a low voice, It seemed like I had cried, and I was a little choked up, "But if you want to break up with me for this reason, I won't agree!"

She spoke eloquently, which made Zirui's heart ache.

"I am a member of the Reardon family, my birth, my family background, I have no choice, but this cannot be the reason for you to break up with me. If this is the case, then it can only mean that you don't love me, from the beginning to the end , you are lying to me!" There was crying in her voice.

"Gao Zirui, you liar, you lied to my body, you lied to my heart, in Africa, and you are still playing with me time and time again... You have already proposed to me, Junzi Yinuo, you can't Repent!" There was crying in her voice.

Zirui frowned, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe, but he was speechless.

After the silence, Haichen sobbed and prayed in a low voice, "Zi Rui, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you in Chicago, and wait for you to come and spend Christmas with me."

Zirui's eyes were wet with tears.

Wu Jing came out and happened to see this scene, "What's wrong with you?"

Zirui turned his face to the side, and quietly wiped away his tears.
