Chapter 839 Epilogue (Part 1)
December 22, winter solstice.
1:30 pm, Xiao's living room.
A Sichuan opera was playing on TV. Qianxi had no interest in these traditional operas, but her parents liked them. At this time, she was watching the opera and cracking melon seeds at the same time, which was really leisurely.
Qianxi and her lawyer Chen, as well as Xie Qiao, who came to live with her clothes after get off work last night, were chatting in the study.
Qianxi had lived in Xie's house for a while. Now her best friend wanted to spend the weekend at her house, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to pack up and hide all of Lawyer Chen's personal belongings to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She only wanted the child, and Chen Tao would come to see her whenever he was free. She had no ambition to become the mistress of the Chen family, so she didn't want outsiders to know her situation.
Chen Tao took a sip of tea and gave a serious suggestion:
"Qianxi, I think Qiao Qiao's sincerity is not enough. You are one of the writers who are popular among netizens, and the quality of this youth novel is also very high. You can choose a publisher with more sincerity."
Qianxi's novel about Ming Dynasty was completed at the end of September. In addition to relaxing, she was invited by Xie Qiao to write a short youth comedy novel with 300,000 words, and the quality is naturally very high. After all, Chen Tao also helped her think of many ideas and integrated many plots, which will definitely be a classic in the future.
So Chen Tao's dislike of lack of sincerity is not just talk, but he really wants to gain more benefits for Qianxi.
Xie Qiao is just a salted fish, who usually spends his days idling, so naturally he has no power to finalize the details of the cooperation, otherwise she would certainly give full sincerity.
After hearing what Chen Tao said, she smiled and suggested:
"Since Qianxi has already hired you, a great lawyer, I definitely don't have the ability to negotiate with you. Next Tuesday, you and Qianxi come to the literary club and discuss the contract with my leaders in person!"
She is still being blocked by her parents from dating Qin Chuan, but this does not mean that she has to be depressed every day. Coming to Qianxi, she doesn't have to be restricted by her parents, nor does she have to pretend to be nice to that overseas returnee. It is one of her happiest times of the week, so she will naturally smile.
Qianxi smiled: "Next Tuesday is Christmas, I am free, but Lawyer Chen may not be."
Chen Tao also smiled and said: "First, I admire Qianxi and am willing to help. Second, I like Qianxi and am happy to help. Finally, the most important thing is that as a Chinese, I don't like to celebrate foreign holidays, so I will definitely be free to accompany Qianxi next Tuesday."
Qianxi gave him a glare, signaling him not to get crazy and make Xie Qiao suspicious, and then pretended to be disgusted:
"You have two wives at home, but you still don't think it's enough? You still like me? A playboy like you must like someone else besides me. Isn't it Qiao Qiao?"
Xie Qiao held back her laughter and snorted: "You two are flirting, but don't drag me into it. I'm an honest man and can't stand your teasing."
Xie Qiao had no doubts about Qianxi's statement that "Chen Tao is her male bestie."
Not to mention Qianxi, even she herself likes to chat with Chen Tao, even though this guy sometimes speaks very directly, such as when he advised her and Qin Chuan to break up.
In fact, she just needs to be more direct. How did she get into her predicament today? It was because she and Qin Chuan had been hesitant. They clearly loved each other, but they were content with the status quo and did not have the courage to confess.
If the two had been dating for a long time and got married as soon as they graduated, it would have been a fait accompli. Even if something happened to Lao Qian, it would not affect her!
It was all tears.
Xie Qiao sighed in her heart, turned her eyes to Chen Tao, and joked with a smile: "You should know a lot of excellent men, right? As Qian Xi's best and only male best friend, shouldn't you consider her life events and arrange blind dates for her?"
Qian Xi burst into laughter: "Do you have any misunderstandings about this guy? After two years at B University, he almost never took the initiative to talk to male classmates, and only went to provoke those beautiful female classmates. If you want to rely on him to arrange things, you can wait to be single!"
Xie Qiao also laughed, especially when she thought of Chen Tao's weird family, she laughed non-stop.
In her opinion, this was the natural chasm between Qian Xi and Chen Tao, destined that the two were destined to be together but not destined in this life.
***
February 2008.
After the Lantern Festival, Chen Tao took his family to Hong Kong Island.
If nothing unexpected happens this year, Fang Hui and Jia Mo will not come back, because they have to study the work of the second child with Chen Tao.
Upon learning this, the brothers Chen Xun and Song Ning not only cursed in their hearts, but also denounced Chen Tao in the QQ group whenever they had time.
At the same time, the two also agreed to go to Hong Kong Island on May Day to visit the two girls, and by the way, they also had to criticize Chen Tao and scold him in person. Is there a buddy like him? He deserves to be scolded!
If it weren't for his second growth, he would be over 1.9 meters tall and weigh 90 kilograms. I really can't beat him, and I have to beat him!
Damn! This bastard must have asked Fang Hui and Jia Mo to accompany him to do those dirty things, right? Fuck his grandma!
When the brothers thought of those bad things, they had a headache and heartache. They couldn't sleep all night, so they had to curse from a distance, and at the same time, they had to be careful not to hurt the two girls by mistake.
Of course, the two brothers also had a lot of internal conflicts.
It's still the same rhetoric.
Song Ning blamed Chen Xun: He shouldn't have betrayed Xiaotang and gone back to his ex, which led to Jia Mo falling in love with Kuang Qiang.
Chen Xun first admitted the false fact of returning to her ex, and then asked him: Is there a possibility that even without Kuang Qiang, Jia Mo would not like you? From the autumn of 2001 to the spring of 2003, Kuang Qiang did not know Jia Mo for such a long time, but why can't you? Can I be blamed for getting Jia Mo to like me? Since Jia Mo likes me, how did Kuang Qiang, the scumbag, get her? Does Jia Mo have a habit of loving her best friend's boyfriend?
Song Ning had no way to argue. Although he felt that Jia Mo might have such a perverted habit, he couldn't say it!
He could only blame Chen Tao, saying that he deceived Jia Mo in the name of taking care of Fang Hui and went to his house as a nanny. As they got along better and better, he got Jia Mo's favor, which made his previous efforts to pursue Jia Mo go down the drain. He was really unethical and deserved to be shot for five minutes!
Fang Hui came online at this time and refuted Song Ning's conjecture.
To tell the truth, Jia Mo is unethical and covets her husband, so she deserves to be put in a pig cage.
Jia Mo did not refute, but said that she would exercise a certain power and go to the marriage registration office in the Great Hall to get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning.
Fang Hui immediately changed her words and said that she was the one who deserved to be put in the pig cage, and she was willing to be punished by her husband and Miss Jia Mo.
Chen Xun and Song Ning were confused. Although they did not know the inside story, they also knew that the two of them should not be fighting each other, but might have some kind of very vulgar interest, so they felt even more uncomfortable, and their hearts were like a knife, almost in pain.
There is no way.
They can only be hurt.
Only when they are hurt will they know to change.
They can't stare at Fang Hui and Jia Mo all their lives, they have to accept the facts and let go of this relationship.
April 8th, the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar.
In fact, compared with the Chinese Valentine's Day, this day is more like my country's Valentine's Day.
That afternoon, Chen Tao accompanied Qian Xi to the park for an outing, and went home together in the evening to have dinner with her parents.
Chen Tao was quite particular. Before the two elders fully agreed, he stayed in the guest room near the living room and only sneaked to Qianxi's master bedroom at night.
The day before yesterday morning, he deliberately came out of Qianxi's room, greeted the two elders and called them mom and dad. After the two elders half-heartedly agreed, he simply moved to Qianxi's master bedroom.
Therefore, the week since Chen Tao returned to Beijing before Qingming Festival was the happiest time for Qianxi in several months.
She and Chen Tao lived together, went out to play during the day, slept in the same bed at night, and had a child by the way. They were like a loving couple, which made others envious.
Well, no one else.
Qianxi said she was busy and didn't let Xie Qiao come during this period.
Even if Xie Qiao could guess the situation between her and Chen Tao in the future, it didn't matter. As long as she didn't admit it, it was the same as nothing!
After a long pause, Qianxi's blush faded, and she came back to her senses. She still hugged Chen Tao's neck and murmured, "I feel like I'm pregnant."
Chen Tao hummed, "It should have implanted. And I have a strong feeling recently that you are pregnant with twins."
Qianxi said in a silly way, "Isn't this a son and a daughter? That's great! Husband, I'm really happy."
I'm talking nonsense.
There is indeed some telepathy between Chen Tao and the child, but the child is just an egg at this moment, where is the heart, how can it sense?
"Should I thank my husband?"
"Hmph, I won't thank you. You are so philandering, and I gave birth to your child. You should thank me."
"I've already thanked you!"
"Pervert!"
"Qianxi, what are you going to do after I go back?"
"I have to eat on time and rest."
"What else?"
"I miss my husband every day."
"Call me if you want to see me. Don't worry. I can come back anytime. It only takes a few hours to get there by plane."
"Will this be too tiring?"
"Do you think I will be tired? I will come back every week to see you and the child. And I have planned to let them give birth a month before you. After they give birth, I can accompany you to wait for the birth."
"Scumbag! I'm a little thirsty. Give me some water."
"..."
In the book, Qianxi should have been with Chen Tianhe at this time, and the scandal was exposed after the earthquake in May.
Xie Qiao will also truly confess her feelings to Qin Chuan because of the earthquake when she was on a business trip in Shuzhong.
Now, due to someone's intrusion, Qianxi is pregnant with his child and is about to become a mother, happily entering the next stage of her life.
Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan got together earlier, but good things are hard to come by, and the prospects are still slim.
***
July 6.
Pregnant mother Qianxi ended her three-year master's degree career and got her master's degree certificate.
That night.
Qianxi invited Xie Qiao to dinner at home.
Now, the overseas returnee is still pursuing Xie Qiao, so of course he wants to come.
Xie Qiao firmly opposed.
What kind of occasion is this? If she lets the overseas returnee participate, it is undoubtedly treating the overseas returnee as her boyfriend.
The overseas returnee compromised and felt that the word "hai" could be removed.
But it is understandable. After all, Xie Qiao is the heroine, and it is not surprising that she attracts a few more licking dogs.
Xu Lin also received an invitation. But she was too busy today and really had no time, so she made an appointment to come again on the weekend.
In a sense, the four people in their dormitory were divided into two factions. One group was her and Wang Ying, and the other group was naturally Qianxi and Xie Qiao.
As for Nana, she also had a better relationship with Xu Lin, but later after hearing some speculations from someone, she took the initiative to keep her distance from Xu Lin.
She was just joking before, and she didn't have that kind of hobby. As for now, she still likes handsome guys, especially tall and strong ones like Chen Tao. Every time she has a tryst, she has to hang on to him.
How could she know that she should have changed her aesthetics and married a nerd with glasses in April last year?
In fact, Chen Tao is also quite nerdy, and he can also wear a pair of glasses as long as she likes.
The next day, Chen Tao returned to Beijing and played with Qianxi for two days.
After that, he did not return to Hong Kong immediately, but went to find his concubine, Wu Tingting.
In the extra story, she still cared about Bai Feng, whom she once liked. But at the age of 30, neither of them got married.
And Chen Xun did not use Zhang Nan's matchmaking to get Fang Hui back. When his mother urged him to get married, he joked that Wu Tingting would be a couple with him.
As a result, this lovely childhood sweetheart who was quite infatuated made him "die away".
Infatuation is really an advantage. After falling in love with Chen Tao, Wu Tingting really treated him as her husband, and even couldn't help but have some palace fighting ideas.
In the fall of 2001, she could make Fang Hui jealous, why not now?
August 23, the beginning of summer heat.
Today is Saturday, and Xie Qiao came to Qianxi's house early in the morning.
She said she was here to discuss publishing matters, but in reality she was here to avoid the returnee man from overseas, and then she played with him under the "encouragement" of her parents.
Living room.
After chatting for a while, looking at Qianxi's belly hidden under her skirt, Xie Qiao finally couldn't help asking:
"Qianxi, what's wrong with you? Don't lie to me, your belly is not fat at all!"
Qianxi is a twin, and it is already very conspicuous now.
She took a sip of milk and smiled:
"That's right, I'm not getting fat, but I'm pregnant, and I have twins. I'm going to be a mother!"
Xie Qiao's eyes widened, her mind went blank for a while, and her voice trembled:
"You, you're not kidding? Whose child is it? Do you have a boyfriend? When was it, why didn't I hear you tell me?"
Qian Xi said calmly: "The flower of love only blooms once, but I think I still need the company of the child, so I begged someone to help me with this."
Xie Qiao asked: "Someone? Is it Xiaochuan brother?"
Qian Xi shook her head and said: "No. He has never come back, and I have never been to the United States. More importantly, I don't want his child. And who it is, you should be able to guess, please keep it secret."
Xie Qiao could guess, but still found it unbelievable.
She was speechless and silent for a long time before she reached out and gently stroked her bestie's belly, sighing:
"Aren't you afraid of regretting it later if you do this?"
The same question, when she questioned Qian Xi, who was surrounded by scandals in the book, was full of confrontational attitude.
Now, Qianxi's parents are being well taken care of by her, and He Xiaozhou is indeed unwilling to return to China.
In this case, how can she speak to He Xiaozhou?
She only feels pity for Qianxi, and is even inspired to learn from her.
Qianxi's answer is still as firm as in the book: "Qiao Qiao, I will never do anything I regret!"
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Tao opened the door and walked in with a smile. (End of this chapter)
