After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies

"My memory has always been good. Out of concern for Ruoan, I even paid special attention to the people around her." Ouyang picked up the exquisite coffee cup in front of him, took a sip of the fragrant and mellow liquid, then slowly put the cup down and said.

After hearing this, Qiao Xin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on her face.

It turned out that she had been thinking too much all along, and the reason why Ouyang cared was only because of Xia Ruoan.

"By the way, isn't your contract still up? Why are you back so early? Are you really not planning on continuing your career in the gardening industry?"

Although Ouyang has now switched careers to join the business world, he still often takes time out of his free time to take Ningning back to the college where he once studied and give some professional guidance and advice to his younger classmates.

For him, this not only allows him to relive his school days, but is also a great way to relax.

Because of this, although he did not deliberately inquire about Qiao Xin's situation, he still learned a lot about her through occasional communication with teachers.

For example, Qiao Xin has become much lax in her work since she left with Zhao Han.

Facing Ouyang's question, Qiao Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak frankly about her thoughts: "Actually... I plan to come back and open my own flower shop."

After saying this, Qiao Xin seemed to be relieved and let out a breath.

After all, it is almost impossible to return to the original college to continue studies, or to work in other well-known botanical research institutes.

In the past few years, her overall performance has not been outstanding, and she has even encountered serious problems such as breach of contract.

Although family members might be able to help him get into a research institute, it would still be a bad reputation if the news got out.

Fortunately, the Qiao family was relatively well-off, and she had saved some money, so it was not difficult for her to open a flower shop of her own.

"Oh? Really? That sounds really good." Ouyang nodded after listening, expressing his agreement and approval.

At this moment, Qiao Xin stared at the man in front of her, and couldn't help but wonder: Is it really because of his career in business? For some reason, she felt that Ouyang had become more and more unpredictable.

Despite this, we have to admit that he is more unique and charming now than before.

If she had not already known clearly that the person she truly loved was Zhao Han, she might still have the idea of pursuing Ouyang again.

"By the way, I noticed that you seem to be quite familiar with all the owners in the flower market here." Qiao Xin tried to find a suitable topic to break the slightly awkward silence between the two.

"Well, since we often come here to visit, and we all love flowers, it's natural for us to chat for a while."

"And before, I mainly asked them to help me keep an eye out for any new rose varieties launched on the market." In response to the topic raised by Qiao Xin, Ouyang responded very readily.

After hearing this, Qiao Xin's face did not show much joy. Instead, an indescribable embarrassment gradually crept onto her face.

You know, the reason he was so in love with Rose was entirely because of Zhou Ling'er.

And this is exactly the corner in her heart that she is most reluctant to touch.

"Really? Actually, I was thinking of asking you to introduce some to me, to see if there are any good recommendations. That way, when I need flowers, I can get them directly from them."

Qiao Xin picked up the cup of nectar in front of her, took a small sip, and said with a forced smile.

"Well... the ones I know well may not quite meet your needs."

"They are all loyal fans of roses. If all you really want is roses, then I can help you inquire about the relevant information."

Ouyang raised his head, looked straight at Qiao Xin who was sitting opposite him, and slowly responded.

Qiao Xin was stunned when she heard this. She could understand the meaning in her heart. Ouyang clearly didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of loss suddenly surged in her heart, but she still suppressed the pain in her heart and replied calmly: "Forget it, I like orchids more now."

As he spoke, a hint of sadness unconsciously appeared in his voice.

"Ouyang, now that things have come to this, I really regret it."

"I used to naively believe that love should be passionate and vigorous, and that only then could it be considered true love."

"I still remember the moment I first saw you. My heart was beating like a deer, incredibly fast."

Qiao Xin's eyes gradually became moist, and memories surged in her mind like a tide.

"Thinking back to that time, when you and Zhou Ling'er hadn't parted ways yet, even though I had a deep attachment and love for you in my heart, I was still able to maintain my rationality and restraint, and never rashly pursued you."

"Just standing in the distance and quietly gazing at your figure is enough to make me feel satisfied."

Qiao Xin slowly closed her eyes, and the memories of the past flooded into her mind like a tide, with endless regret in her eyes.

"As for Zhao Han, I didn't take him seriously at first. He was like the air around us, always there, but I never paid much attention to him on a daily basis."

"However, it wasn't until I actually lost him that I suddenly realized that it was precisely because we were so close and so familiar with each other that this relationship had become a habit."

"I never even thought of wanting to be with him, because I subconsciously believed that no matter when or where, he would never leave me."

And there was that thing about positioning.

If Qiao Yu hadn't mentioned it inadvertently later, she probably would have had no idea until now that it was she who asked Zhao Han to install that location on her phone when she was drunk.

It's a pity that she was drunk at the time, and when she woke up, her memory was already vague. In addition, everyone kept silent about the incident afterwards, so the incident was gradually forgotten.

But when she accidentally discovered the location in her mobile phone later, she chose to distance herself from Zhao Han without thinking, and stubbornly believed that he was doing this just to restrict my freedom and control my every move.

If she had been able to calm down and listen to his explanation at that time, perhaps the situation today would not be so bad.

Ouyang stood there quietly, like a silent sculpture, listening to all the words without moving.

“It’s only when you lose something that you know how to cherish it. This is often the case.”

He slowly raised his head and looked straight at Qiao Xin in front of him, his eyes revealing a complex and heavy emotion.

"Qiao Xin, I never expected that you would remain the same even today. You haven't changed at all. Do you really understand what love is?"

Ouyang took a deep breath and continued, "In my opinion, you don't understand love at all!"

"Otherwise, how could you say something so insincere as to like orchids? Actually, whether you truly love orchids or whether you became interested in them because of Zhao Han, I'm afraid only you know!"

"You know, Zhao Han has already started a family and a career. Not only is his marriage happy, he even has lovely children."

"If you truly have genuine feelings for him, then the very least you should do is to stop appearing in front of him so frequently and disturbing his peaceful life."

"After all, he has completely let you go and bravely embarked on a new journey of life. At this point, even if you feel regretful, it's too late!"

"How can this so-called affection of yours be considered true liking or love? It's nothing more than a selfish desire to possess the other person."

After saying this, Ouyang stared at Qiao Xin again with a look of disappointment on his face, as if he wanted to see through her eyes the true thoughts hidden deep in her heart.

At this moment, Qiao Xin was completely stunned. She could never have imagined that Ouyang, the man she had once loved so much but could never get, would be there.

Today, not only did I mercilessly criticize my attitude towards love, I even advised myself to give up the person I currently love.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts came flooding into her mind, making her feel overwhelmed.

"So you think it's wrong for me to like Zhao Han? Ouyang! Let me tell you, I'm not wrong!"

"The one who is really wrong should be the one who is not loved! There has always been a place for me in Zhao Han's heart. He only feels responsibility and guilt towards Shangguan Lan." Qiao Xin said a little excitedly.

"I've heard that Ruoan arranged for her elder brother Mu Shen to treat Changan."

"Once Chang'an fully recovers, Zhao Han will definitely file for divorce from Shangguan Lan. Even if they don't divorce now, they will definitely separate in the future for some other reason."

Qiao Xin continued, her eyes flashing with determination and expectation.

"Ouyang, in your eyes, is it true that someone like me is unworthy of love?"

"I pursued you for nearly seven years, but you never gave me even the slightest response."

"However, now, when I finally decided to let go of the past and start over, to pursue my own new happiness, you told me to give up Zhao Han." Qiao Xin became more and more dissatisfied as she spoke, and her voice couldn't help but rise eight octaves.

"You were the one who told me that Zhao Han was the one who liked me. You also knew that Zhao Han had me in his heart." Qiao Xin looked at him and smiled, "But now you want me to let go. Why?"
