Chapter 160: The ex-husband is a haunting creature 1(1/2)
Qiao Xi felt that this man named Gu Huaiyuan was quite tall, and his slender body seemed to block part of the light in the room.
The dark figure stood in front of her and stretched out his hand to her, reminding her of another man.
However, other than these, Gu Huaiyuan looked nothing like him.
Gu Huaiyuan is a handsome man. His facial features are as sharp as a knife, he has a distinct personality, and his smile is bright.
Qiao Xi smiled and shook off the random thoughts in her mind. She raised her head and looked at Gu Huaiyuan. She smiled and stretched out her little hand, shook his hand and said, "Hello."
After the polite friendship was over, Qiao Xi wanted to take back her hand, but in the end, Gu Huaiyuan had no intention of letting go.
She raised a pair of watery eyes, looking at him without knowing why.
Gu Huaiyuan realized his gaffe, immediately let go of Qiao Xi's hand, and changed the subject: "Um... your name is Qiao Xi?"
"Well, yes." Qiao Xi nodded with an easy-going smile.
Seeing her smile, Gu Huaiyuan also laughed and said, "It's a very nice name."
"Thank you." Qiao Xi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Gu Huaiyuan was being polite to her.
Big Fatty and Little Fatty came out of the kitchen and washed their hands: "Auntie, we have washed our hands and want to eat cake."
"Okay, I'll come." Qiao Xi responded, and then asked Gu Huaiyuan by the way: "Do you want to eat cake?"
After all, the visitor is a guest and needs to be greeted.
"No." Gu Huaiyuan said.
"Then you guys can chat slowly." After saying that, Qiao Xi turned around and walked towards Big Fatty and Little Fatty without disturbing him and Lu Cheng.
Gu Huaiyuan felt a little melancholy. He originally wanted to get to know Qiao Xi more. But, in the end, the beauty did not have this intention.
Obviously, she no longer remembers him. Thinking about it, that day was just an accident.
Presumably, she would give him a rose, but it was just her whim. How could she remember this impulse?
Only he still remembers.
I can’t explain why, but my memory is very clear and I can’t forget every moment I saw her that day.
He kept an unknown woman in his heart, so he classified this inexplicable feeling as love at first sight.
However, at that time, he thought that she was already married and had children, so he did not deepen this idea further.
Lest, in the end, it becomes an unattainable delusion.
But now, she found out that the child was not hers, but Lu Cheng and Qiao Ran's, and she couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Somehow, there seems to be a little bit of fate——
He met her on the first day he came to the capital.
Now, not long after he came to Lu Cheng's house, he met her for the second time.
Lu Cheng noticed that Gu Huaiyuan's gaze seemed to have been falling on Qiao Xi from just now.
So, he asked him calmly: "What? Do you know Qiao Xi?"
"No, I just think she looks familiar." Gu Huaiyuan denied calmly.
Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at his own hand. He had just held Qiao Xi's hand, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
It's incredible that she looks so weak.
But her hands were as soft as if they were boneless, and they felt soft when held, and they were not as thin as she imagined.
Lu Cheng said "hmm" thoughtfully.
Gu Huaiyuan thought for a while and asked Lu Cheng: "Is she still single?"
"That's right." Lu Cheng said ambiguously.
He knew that Qiao Xi was divorcing Bai Xiaofan.
However, he had also heard that the two had not successfully divorced.
***
Qiao Xi stayed at Qiao Ran's house until evening. After dinner, she played with Big Fat Dun and Little Fat Girl and listened to Qiao Ran's gossip.
Only then did I find out that Gu Huaiyuan was the CEO of a well-known group in City M. He was a very young and promising man.
When Gu Huaiyuan was young, he and Lu Cheng were very good brothers, and he once learned stock trading from Lu Cheng.
It is said that someone who is better than someone who is good at others makes a lot of money and starts from scratch.
So, Qiao Xi waved her hand and interrupted: "Wait a minute, my cousin-in-law can speculate in stocks?"
Suddenly, Qiao Ran stopped gossiping and fell into thinking. Then, he was not sure and said: "I don't know either. How about I ask him in bed tonight?"
The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to ask Qiao Ran whether she knew what her husband was doing outside.
But, it's hard to ask this, because she's afraid it will hurt Qiao Ran's self-esteem...
"No, why are you talking about Mr. Lu? I don't care if he can speculate in stocks or not! What I want to tell you is Gu Huaiyuan's deeds." Qiao Ran got to the point, nudged Qiao Xi with his ribs, and asked her: "You
What do you think of him? Is he particularly high-quality, young and promising? He is a diamond king."
The more Qiao Xi listened, the more suspicious she became. Xiumei frowned more and more, "What do I think of him? Are you trying to introduce him to me?"
"Yes." Qiao Ran admitted frankly. She and Qiao Xi were like sisters. Is there anything that they couldn't say directly?
"Aren't you going to divorce Bai Xiaofan? Then the next few days will be your window period. But don't be afraid, cousin, I promise to let you find your second love before you are 30 years old!"
Qiao Xi rubbed her eyebrows and said angrily: "What second spring? Don't worry about it. I don't want to think about this kind of thing for the time being."
"I know, I know, you always need a cooling-off period." Qiao Ran nodded with understanding, and then said: "But after the cooling-off period, you should try to find a second man. Otherwise,
, have you ever thought about how old you are this year? Have you ever thought about Dad Qiao and Mom?"
Mentioning the two elders in the family, Qiao Xi's heart trembled and she quickly asked: "You didn't tell them that I wanted to divorce Bai Xiaofan, did you?"
Qiao Ran immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No! Of course not, how dare I say that."
Qiao Xi felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I will tell them personally when the time comes, so you don't have to worry."
"Then... Gu Huaiyuan, what do you think?" Qiao Ran still clung to this topic.
"...I'll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit for them to eat." After Qiao Xi finished speaking, she left.
She really couldn't stand Qiao Ran's energy. Although she knew it was for her own good, was she familiar with Gu Huaiyuan?
We've only known each other for less than a day...
However, the same is true for people on blind dates outside. Two strangers who have known each other for less than a day will start a relationship on the premise of getting married.
Thinking about it, she felt sad, so she didn't want to think about it for the time being.
She felt that even if she was really alone in the future, it would not be a big deal and she would still be able to live a good life.
No one is indispensable to anyone, and no one can live without anyone.
this is life.
She is not very attractive and may never find a quality man like Bai Xiaofan. However, her fingers are too thick to wear it.
Qiao Xi was in the kitchen, cutting a plate of fresh fruit, and when she was taking it out, she happened to hear Lu Cheng and Gu Huaiyuan chatting about some business matters.
It seems that the names of Bai Xiaofan and Lan Shimo were also mentioned in the interview.
So, she carried the fruit plate over and casually asked Gu Huaiyuan: "I heard that you are doing business in City M?"
"Yes."
"Then you came here to do business?"
"The company's scale is expanding recently and we plan to develop here." Gu Huaiyuan said implicitly.
In fact, the simple word "development" of his long-planned plan is not enough to describe his ambition.
"Oh." Qiao Xi nodded in understanding.
What a coincidence. Previously, Bai Xiaofan had intended to expand his company to City M.
Now, Gu Huaiyuan has come to the capital from city M to develop. The businessman's mind is really interesting.
"Eat some fruit." Qiao Xi put the fruit plate on the coffee table and said politely.
The two fat kids didn't know how to be polite and started eating before the guests.
Next, they chatted for a while. Qiao Xi saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening and was about to go back.
So, Lu Cheng stood up and said, "It's very late now and it's difficult to take a taxi. I'll take you back."
Qiao Xi was about to nod and say yes, but at this moment, Gu Huaiyuan said abruptly: "How about, let me do it. I'll take you back, and I happen to be driving here too."
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse. After all, she and Gu Huaiyuan were really not familiar with each other. It would not be a good idea to trouble him.
Gu Huaiyuan could see what was in Qiao Xi's mind, so he said sincerely: "It's okay, you have entertained me all day today, it's time for me to put some use into it."
Then, he patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder and said jokingly: "Just stay at home with your wife and children."
"Okay, then I'll leave Qiao Xi to you, and you can send her home safely."
