This morning, the routine began to run as usual. How could they not? Xiao Long had already left for the office early in the morning. In fact, without having breakfast at home. Qiao Xin, who saw that, could only stare at Xiao Long in silence—seeing the man who had become her husband for some reason since last night had been very strange.
Qiao Xin couldn't help but stare, and then she put on a fake smile at her in-laws as her in-laws glanced at Qiao Xin, who was secretly looking at Xiao Long with that strange face.
"Are you guys having trouble?" Qiao Xin's mother-in-law asked. Qiao Xin also shook her head, and then she smiled sweetly.
"No, Mother. We were fine last night," Qiao Xin replied later. Qiao Xin's mother-in-law nodded again, and then she looked at her father-in-law.
"You just don't know, last night who came over the years gone? His best friend that Xiao Long might have up until now thought differently. Every time Cheng comes, Xiao Long is always like that. looks like he won't easily accept the harsh reality, if everything is fate that doesn't have to be a grudge from the past,"
Everyone there seemed to be silent, while Qiao Xin could only think about what Xiao Chuan had said with a confused expression on her face. How could it not? Qiao Xin had no idea what was going on, and seeing Xiao Long like that wasn't a good thing at all.
"Qiqi, have you started working at our family company today?" asked Xiao Chuan so warmly.
Qiao Xin almost choked on hearing that, and then she nodded her head. Although it might seem strange, Qiao Xin had been honest working in the Han family company even though Qiao Xin didn't work for the major company.
"Yes, Grandpa. Now I'm leaving."
"Why didn't you go with your husband earlier?" asked her mother-in-law. Qiao Xin fell silent again. She was confused again. What excuse she should give now.
"Mom, few people know about our marriage, and I don't want to draw attention to everyone. Today is my first day going to work, so I think it would be much better to go alone. I'm afraid that all employees will think that if I am Xiao Long's wife, and I will be his golden child, that is a very awkward thing, Mother."
Qiao Xin's mother-in-law finally smiled, then she stroked the back of her daughter-in-law's hand affectionately.
"I'm just worried, I don't want you to be hurt."
"I'm fine, Mother. Trust me I can take good care of myself. then," Qiao Xin finally stood up, looking at her family with that sweet smile. "I go first,"
After Qiao Xin said goodbye, she finally walked towards where she met her best friend, Mei. Not long after, the two of them met at a bus stop not far from the Han family's house. Mei looked at Qiao Xin with an extremely confused look on her face. Meanwhile, Qiao Xin secretly took off her wedding ring and put it in her bag.
"Qiao, I haven't seen you in almost two weeks. You seem to have changed a little," Mei said later.
Qiao Xin drew an eyebrow, and nervousness began to creep into her heart. She was afraid that her best friend would find out that she was married.
"What has changed about me, Mei? I'm still like this right?"
"You look thinner, but your skin looks much more well-groomed. You know, if other people saw you like this, they would think you were the daughter of a rich family."
Qiao Xin smiled again. How could it not? She had to wear all the clothes her father-in-law had bought her. Otherwise, she would get into trouble. Just being allowed to work was a very happy thing for Qiao Xin now.
"But, is it really that easy to work at a subsidiary of the Han Corporation? I haven't even proposed yet," Qiao Xin said, trying to distract Mei.
Mei nodded. The bus came, and Mei immediately grabbed Qiao Xin's arm. The two of them stepped onto the bus and sat in one of the back seats.
"You don't need to worry, in the last few days there have been employees who have resigned for no reason. I don't know what happened to the company. That's also one of the reasons my boss asked me to find a new employee who could help him, and that was you. So you don't have to worry, it's even possible that without an interview you can go straight to work today."
"What? Are you kidding me?" Qiao Xin was shocked. Mei seemed to be frowning. "How can a big company recruit new employees without an interview? You're crazy, Mei. Certainly not so."
"Actually, I already sent your file to my boss, you bringing the job application file now is completely useless. so today is your interview day, and going straight to work. Because my boss already knows through the application file that I sent, how was your education, and how you performed when you worked at your previous job, and more or less I also told you about your problems when you were at W Corporation, and maybe we will also take care of the cooperation between the Han Corporation. with W Corporation."
"Why is that? No, I don't want to meet anyone inside the W Corporation, you know how they are. I don't want to, Mei."
"Qiao, listen to me. Isn't this the best for you? If they find out that you work in a subsidiary of the Han Corporation they will definitely be shocked, and in the end they will think that, the biggest reason Mr. Han told Mr. Zhou to fire you is, because Mr. Han wants to recruit you as his employee. Look, with that, Mr. Zhou must feel like he's been stabbed in the back and their relationship won't be okay. You will crush two people who hurt you in one fell swoop. Isn't that a very good thing?"
Qiao Xin glanced at Mei, and then she looked at Mei inquisitively. Qiao Xin didn't expect Mei to have such cunning thoughts.
"Is it true that you are Mei? Your thinking is really very rancid," Qiao Xin said. Mei laughed, and then she hugged Qiao Xin so tightly.
"Because I didn't want you to be hurt by other people. That's why I've watched many dramas and found the most appropriate answer for your case."
"So, the solution you came up with earlier was part of what you saw in the drama?" Qiao Xin was shocked. Mei nodded then they both laughed together.
*****
"Hey, Young Mr. Han!"
Xiao Long, who had been leaning on his chin while looking at his laptop, glanced at the tall figure standing in the doorway. He was only a few inches taller than Xiao Long, but still, the flamboyant male was the nickname of the figure who had perfectly round eyes.
His pale skin made the man often dubbed a beautiful man and even matched his gentle face. Because for him, the beauty of a man must be radiated, rather than being masculine to be called handsome.
The figure seemed to be grinning, walking towards Xiao Long with a smile, occasionally he tried to feel his face to ensure that the flawless smoothness he had was real.
"Shouldn't you be in Weijing? Why are you still roaming around like a sewer rat here?" Xiao Long said with a straight face.
The man seemed to smile, then he sat on the chair in front of Xiao Long, about to lift his leg, but Xiao Long's sharp gaze immediately managed to dissuade the man's intentions very clearly.
"Come on, why are you always so curt with me, Xiao Long. I gave myself up to leave my high position in this company just to see the situation in Weijing, but you're still acting like that. You know, if this handsome and beautiful face of mine got there all the time, you have to be responsible for everything."
"You're even more useful if you cover your face with a trash can," irked Xiao Long.
The man named Li Xuan finally smiled as well. he never expected Xiao Long to say that, even though bad things did not escape the mouth of the man who had been his friend since school.
"I was in Weijing this morning, but I'll be right back because I have a few things I want to ask you."
"Say,"
"First, you rushed home yesterday and ignored me why? How could a Li Xuan be ignored so annoyingly like that? My pride feels trampled by you Xiao Long. And secondly, did you know that he has returned from overseas?"
Xiao Long looked silent, and he looked at Li Xuan, then he took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair.
"Last night, at Grandpa's party."
"Unfortunately I can't come, even until this moment I don't know who your wife is, what her face looks like. You are a friend who is never loyal to your best friend," Li Xuan protested.
Xiao Long was silent again. Introducing Qiao Xin to his friends was not one of his goals. Because from the very beginning, Xiao Long never thought this marriage existed and was real. Xiao Long wants everything to go according to plan, not to interfere with each other's personal problems, because when the two of them separate later, everything will be much better, without too many questions from many parties.
"You must be in a bad mood?" guessed Li Xuan, who managed to make Xiao Long gasp. "Every time Cheng comes, you will become a more terrible monster than usual."
