CHAPTER 137 - Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(26)
World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(26)
It turned out that Xue Xueâs hunch was correct.
Xie Conglu was indeed Gao Changzeâs son.
His mother was the woman whom Gao Changze had kept in his heart for decades, the lover who was separated after being obstructed by the elders of the family in every possible way.
âI really didnât expect it.â Xue Xue sighed with one hand on her chin. âFate is really amazing, isnât it?â
âYes, just like a TV drama, it has a twist.â
Gao Qiqi only thought that the inspiration for the drama really came from reality. No one would have thought that Xue Xueâs boyfriend who came over to apply for the job would become the bossâs son and the little boss of the company? But then she thought of Xue Xueâs âprofoundâ words to herself when Xie Conglu went in for the interview, and suddenly had a sense of realization.
âSister Xue, you already knew?â
âHuh?â
âXie Congluâs identity.â
âHow is that possible?â
âBut you said âŠâŠ at the time.â
âDid I say something?â
âErâŠâ
Xue Xueâs face was smiling so bright that she couldnât remember what the woman had said, but she felt she couldnât figure it out at the time, and now she suddenly did.
But it seemed difficult to organize into words to express it?
Seeing Gao Qiqiâs tangled face, Xue Xue patted her on the shoulder. âDonât think too much.â
âI know, I justâŠâ
âXue Xue!â
Xie Conglu walked in.
Gao Qiqi once again sighed at the manâs good appearance. She used to think that President Xi was already the best-looking young successful person, but compared with Xie Conglu, she felt that there was still something missing.
âLittle, little boss, you, hello!â
Xie Conglu glanced at the stuttering Gao Qiqi and nodded coldly.
Gao Qiqi gave a meaningful glance.
âThen Iâll print these first.â Gao Qiqi said gratefully to Xue Xue after packing all the documents scattered on the table into the folder. âSister Xue, thank you for this afternoon.â
âItâs a small matter.â Xue Xue waved her hand. âYouâre welcome.â
After Gao Qiqi left, Xie Conglu suddenly surrounded Xue Xue from behind.
âHey⊠what are you doing?â Xue Xue struggled, but the manâs arms were like iron tongs, holding her tightly. âXie Conglu, show a little restraint! Weâre in the company!â
Xue Xue reprimanded in a low voice, but in Xie Congluâs ears, the womanâs voice, which was a little more hoarse than the usual because of the repression, was very charming. He was excited, and the thing in his suit pants couldnât help but twitch.
Xie Conglu felt that he was not a person who was too lustful. However, after being teased by this woman for more than ten days in a row, he only drank some broth at the end. People who are even abstinent canât stand this torture.
âAre you going to work overtime today?â
âToday? No need today.â
âThen weâŠâ
âXiaochenâs birthday, my dad has booked a restaurant to celebrate.â Xue Xue knew what Xie Conglu was thinking by looking at Xie Congluâs expression. âDear, have you forgotten? Gao Changze is going to take you and Aunt Xie to dinner today.â
âDonât talk about it.â Xie Conglu was upset when he heard the name. He let go of Xue Xue. âLetâs not mention him, okay?â
âXie Conglu.â
Xue Xue didnât answer yes or no, she just called out his name and stared straight at the man, who had to look away first.
âI know what youâre thinking.â
âNo, you donât know.â
Xie Conglu was like a child at this time, and when he turned his neck, he glared and scowled, making Xue Xue laugh.
âNo, I know.â
Saying that, Xue Xue stood up and took the initiative to put her hand on Xie Congluâs shoulder.
This was the first time she had made such an intimate action with a man in the company, so even if it wasnât a kiss, Xie Conglu still obediently asked Xue Xue to hold his body.
âYou blame Gao Changze. When you and Aunt Xie were in the most difficult time, he didnât accompany you.â Xue Xueâs voice was like the gurgling water, which knocked into his ears, bringing a cool feeling that seeps into his heart, and gradually calmed down the manâs irritable heart. âItâs human nature and thereâs nothing wrong with it, but have you ever thought about Gao Changze who has no knowledge of all this?â
These words made Xie Congluâs fist at his side clenched.
Xue Xue knew that this was the most direct physical reaction of a man when he was torn in his emotions.
âIf he had turned a blind eye, or he never took action, then I would agree with you.â Xue Xue continued. âBut heâs not. In the past decades, he has never given up looking for you. Even the name of the company he founded is named after your mother.â
âAunt Xie should also know this very well. Thatâs why she accepted your father so soon. Of course, it may also be because she still loves him or because of the reality of life.â
âBut since the betrayed party is willing to give him another chance, why donât you try it too?â
âPeopleâs life is so long. It is better to face it bravely than to be afraid to escape. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises.â Xue Xueâs tone softened, like a teacher encouraging stubborn children and teaching earnestly. âI think Aunt Xie also hopes that your father and son can get along well.â
When it comes to his mother, Xie Congluâs softening is more obvious.
Xue Xue knew that it was time to put more effort into breaking through Xie Congluâs heart, or else he would be reluctant to take the first step once he hesitated.
Xue Xue felt that Xie Conglu did not completely reject Gao Changze, but that his father was too unfamiliar with him and had been absent from his life for too long, so he was uneasy and pretended not to care.
âEven if you donât think about yourself, you should think about Aunt Xie.â
âAunt Xie raised you alone. For a mother, you must be the most important and precious person to her. If you are not willing to accept Gao Changze in the end, Aunt Xie will surely reject him because she cares about your feelings, but do you still want Aunt Xie to go back to the old days?â
These words completely hit Xie Congluâs soft spot.
Aside from that, Gao Changzeâs financial resources will certainly provide the best treatment and care for his mother.
He closed his eyes.
âI see.â
Xue Xue knew that the extent to which Xie Conglu cared about his mother would definitely be shaken.
âThenâŠâ
âBe back before ten oâclock.â
âWhat?â
Xie Congluâs topic jumped so quickly that Xue Xue couldnât keep up.
âI said you have to be back by ten oâclock, so you canât go home to live with your parents anymore.â Xie Conglu said, his voice suddenly dropped. âBecause, I have prepared a present for you.â
