After I was released from prison, I had a flash marriage with my billionaire husband

"It doesn't matter. What time will I get off work today? I'll pick you up." Chu Qinglin said softly.

Guan Ningning noticed his coldness and her heart dropped, "Five o'clock."

"Okay, see you then."

"it is good."

Guan Ningning had a bad premonition in her heart.

Chu Qinglin said nothing more and hung up the phone after hearing her answer.

Guan Ningning held her phone and was stunned in place.

Zhang Xiaorou saw her standing there in a daze, so she walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Guan Ningning came back to her senses and smiled at her, "It's nothing."

"Your face doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell or sick?" Zhang Xiaorou looked at her pale face and felt a little worried.

"I'm fine." Guan Ningning shook her head.

"Have dinner together after get off work?" Zhang Xiaorou changed the subject.

"I'm afraid not today."

"Your boyfriend is here to pick you up?" Zhang Xiaorou winked slyly, "I really envy you for dating a handsome and rich guy like Mr. Chu."

"Don't envy me, you will meet your destiny in the future."

"Hehe, I hope so!"

When it was time to get off work, Guan Ningning packed her things, feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy.

When I walked out of the company, I immediately saw the Maserati parked not far away.

Seeing Chu Qinglin, Guan Ningning was not as nervous as before. She couldn't help but think of a sentence she had seen somewhere before, "Real success is probably that you still like what you like, but you don't force it anymore." The things you are afraid of are still afraid, you just have the courage to face them.”

She is probably in this state now.

Even if it's not, at least it's growing, maturing, and slowly approaching this state.

Guan Ningning walked to the car. Chu Qinglin was sitting in the driver's seat, leaning forward and reaching out to help her open the passenger door.

Guan Ningning waved to Zhang Xiaorou, bent down and got into the car, and asked Chu Qinglin while buckling her seat belt, "Where are we going?"

"What do you want to have for dinner, Western food, Chinese food or barbecue?"

"Barbecue?" Guan Ningning said while looking at Chu Qinglin carefully, but she didn't see anything strange on his face.

He didn't mention anything about her and Xu Jing'an that he hadn't finished talking about that day, and he didn't know whether he believed her or not.

"Okay, let's go to the house we often go to." Chu Qinglin responded and glanced at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing."

Guan Ningning smiled, the atmosphere was good, she couldn't bring up Xu Jing'an's affairs to ruin the scenery.

When she arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Chu Qinglin still took on most of the barbecue work as before. She only had to be responsible for eating.

After dinner, it was still early, so Chu Qinglin suggested, "Would you like to take a walk to eat?"

"Okay."

The weather is getting warmer and the walks are nice.

Neither of them mentioned that they had not contacted each other in the past few days, nor did they ask each other what they were busy with during those days, as if those days did not exist.

After walking for a while, Chu Qinglin finally spoke, "I've been thinking a lot these days."

Guan Ningning said nothing and listened quietly.

Chu Qinglin continued: "I think we may have to stay apart for a while to think clearly about whether each other is the person the other wants."

Guan Ningning's nose felt sour, and her breath was so tight that she missed a beat. She held back to prevent herself from crying.

Although I had thought of this outcome, when it came to this point, I still couldn't help but feel sad, even sadder than when I had expected this outcome.

After Chu Qinglin finished speaking, both of them fell into silence.

Chu Qinglin waited patiently for her to speak. After waiting for a few seconds, but still didn't hear her words, he had to ask: "Do you have anything to say?"

Guan Ningning said: "I know that in this relationship, I have done almost nothing, which may make you feel that I have no feelings for you and have not given you an emotional sense of security, but Xu Jingan and I really have nothing. So I didn’t mention him to you because I felt it was over and I should move on. I’m sorry, I didn’t handle it well and let you down. I’ve been thinking a lot these days.”

Guan Ningning paused, "I don't think I'm worthy of you, let's break up."

"What did you say?" Chu Qinglin frowned, "Break up?"

"Yes, let's break up."

Chu Qinglin looked at Guan Ningning without blinking, "Do you feel you are not worthy of me, or is it because you can't let him go?"

"Just think that I can't let him go."

Hearing this, a surge of anger suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart. Chu Qinglin was really angry. Because of her rude gesture, which might be her true words, she had been unable to truly accept him.

"okay, I get it!"

He didn't say anything else. Chu Qinglin was afraid that if he kept talking, he wouldn't be able to say anything good. Even if it was a breakup, he didn't want to make it too ugly. He finally held back, "I'm sorry, I invited you out to dinner but I can't send you back."

"It's okay. Thank you for the dinner. I'll just take a taxi back."

"it is good."

Chu Qinglin dropped a word, turned around and left. The two of them left in different directions.

Chu Qinglin drove the car, and the more he thought about it, the worse his mood became, so he turned around and went to the bar.

Jiang Wuzhi was watching TV in the living room while waiting for Chu Qinglin to come back. Seeing that the time was getting later and later and he hadn't come back yet, and he didn't even call, so he guessed whether he was dating.

Just when she was hesitating whether to call him and ask if he would come back tonight, there was a sudden sound of a car engine outside the villa.

Looking at his son who was drunk and covered in tobacco and alcohol, Jiang Wuzhi frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why did you drink so much?"

Chu Qinglin said nothing, swaying on his feet, "I'm fine."

"It's okay, you drank so much?" Jiang Wuzhi didn't believe it and guessed, "Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"

"There was no quarrel, just a breakup."

Jiang Wuzhi was overjoyed and suppressed her happiness not to show on her face. She frowned, "How could we break up after a good relationship? It's normal for couples to quarrel. They break up today and make up tomorrow. Girls need to be coaxed, buy flowers or prepare a gift..."

"No need." Chu Qinglin shook his head.

When Jiang Wuzhi saw this, although he felt sorry for him drinking and getting drunk, he couldn't help but feel more and more happy.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and you will have to go through this sooner or later.

the other side.

Guan Ningning walked aimlessly on the street alone for a long time. When she was tired, she took a taxi home.

When she got home, she felt a little better when she saw the rice cakes. When she saw the anti-collision strips on the corners of the dining table and coffee table, she felt like her heart was full of things, and the pain made her breathless.

She had been enjoying Chu Qinglin's tenderness and care, but she had done everything for him, and in the end she failed him and hurt him in this way.

Guan Ningning was nestled on the sofa, tired both physically and mentally, and didn't want to move. Nian Gao seemed to know that she was in a bad mood, so he stayed in her arms and was very obedient.

Guan Ningning wanted to talk to someone about this matter, but it was too late. She did not bother Li Man or contact Tang Xin.
