After rebirth, I cut off my love brain sister and want to be the queen
Chapter 288 Saying Goodbye to the Past
I knew Li Ruowei was disappointed in me, but I maintained my attitude. Like a deserter, I said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
Li Ruowei folded her arms across her chest, stood up, and went around to the corner behind me. I lowered my head, and my long hair completely covered my face.
In this small world, I tasted a bit of bitterness and pain.
Just as I reached out to tuck my hair behind my ear, Li Ruowei suddenly put a cell phone to my ear, and I heard Su Beicheng's low voice.
"Hey, Ruowei, what's wrong?"
His voice was gentle as usual.
My tears were originally hidden in my eyes, but for some reason, when his voice echoed in my ears, I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Why aren't you talking?" There was a hint of laughter in his voice.
Li Ruowei lowered her voice and said to me, "Jingjing, don't you have anything to say to him?"
My tears couldn't stop falling, my voice was already choked with sobs, and I was afraid I couldn't speak anymore.
Su Beicheng, who was standing opposite him, didn't know if he had heard Li Ruowei's voice. He suddenly fell silent. After a moment, he tentatively called out, "Jingjing, is that you?"
I felt suffocated.
"What? You don't even want to say a word to me?" Su Beicheng's voice sounded sad.
I sobbed and was shocked at myself. Why did I cry like that?
"Ruowei went to the United States to find you?" Su Beicheng asked me.
"Yeah." I finally heard my own response.
"What did she say to you?" Su Beicheng asked in a soft voice.
"She said...said...you're engaged, congratulations." I bit my lip, trying my best to make my voice sound less sad.
Su Beicheng was silent for a long time on the other end. I heard his breathing change from rapid to slow and steady. Finally, he smiled and said, "Thank you."
These two words, like a blunt knife, pierced my heart and made me speechless in an instant, as if there was no need to say any more unnecessary words.
I immediately took the phone and hung up.
Li Ruowei's beautiful eyes widened, and the next second, she handed me a tissue: "You've cried so hard, and you're still pretending to be strong. Sigh, do you know that if you miss him like this, you will regret it."
I silently wiped the tears from my eyes and forced a smile. "Whose life doesn't have regrets? At least he's willing to marry her, and their marriage is blessed by their elders. They may not have known each other for long, but maybe they'll get to know each other better after marriage, and then fall in love?"
"Love bullshit." Li Ruowei cursed, "After Beicheng, I might be cuckolded countless times. It's not impossible."
I was stunned, unable to believe it.
Li Ruowei lowered her voice and gossiped, "I suspect they had an arranged marriage, but I have no evidence. However, that woman is very troublesome. I don't know how much trouble Beicheng will have to deal with in the future."
When I heard this, my brows furrowed. Why would Su Beicheng marry a woman who loves to cause trouble?
"Ah, you're right. Everyone has regrets, but we've known Beicheng for so many years, and I really don't want to see him end up in such a mess after marriage." Li Ruowei pouted, a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Perhaps I'm really forcing you. Even if you go back, you'll face a lot of problems, and you might even be humiliated and attacked. It's right for you not to go back."
I didn't expect Li Ruowei to sympathize with my position. I said gratefully, "Thank you, Ruowei. You came to the United States to find me, which proves that you are a loyal friend."
"No matter how loyal I am, I can't help you. I even made you cry. Wait...you and Zhou Minghe, you..." Li Ruowei realized it later and looked at me ambiguously: "Jingjing, you are so mean. It's obvious that Zhou Minghe likes you, but you didn't even tell me clearly. I came here this time, thinking of setting my cousin up on a blind date with him."
I blushed in embarrassment and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Ruo Wei, I did hide something from you."
"Forget it. Luckily, I didn't tell my cousin about this. Of course, my cousin is too much of a homebody, and she's not suitable for this Mr. Zhou." Li Ruowei leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "I didn't understand your situation, but I rushed over and asked you to go back and grab the marriage. I was naive. If Zhou Minghe likes you and he can give you a better life in the United States, then you should stay here. I believe Beicheng and that woman will divorce in a few years."
I lowered my head and whispered, "I hope he can be happy."
"We all hope so. Beicheng also said that he will. Now, his parents are arranging this matter. If you want to see his engagement photos, I can take them and send them to you. Of course, it would be better if you don't see them, so as to avoid being sad." Li Ruowei persuaded gently.
"Stop taking pictures. I won't join in the fun." I picked up the lemonade and took two sips. The sourness of the lemon was mixed with a hint of bitterness.
Li Ruowei said she would stay in the United States for a few days and asked to have dinner when she was free. After drinking coffee, she left.
I stood on the busy street, watching her car drive away. I had no idea what I was feeling. The reluctance and ambiguity I once had seemed less important. At least, they were not as important as what I had to protect now.
I returned to the company and told the beautiful lady at the front desk not to tell Zhou Minghe that a friend came to see me. After accepting my cup of coffee, the beautiful lady gave me a reassuring look.
The reason I wanted to hide it was because I didn't want Zhou Minghe to have any wild thoughts. He was very young and tended to be jealous.
In the next two days, I invited Li Ruowei to dinner. She no longer mentioned Su Beicheng's affairs. We simply talked about women's topics.
The night Zhou Minghe came back, I had just come out of the hospital and the doctor told me something. He said that couples can have sex between four and six months of pregnancy, and as long as it is not intense, there will not be much impact.
After hearing these words, I decided not to tell Zhou Minghe to avoid him causing trouble.
It was getting dark. It was already May and the weather was getting warmer day by day, but it was raining outside the window.
Zhou Minghe rented my house upstairs from his. I asked for a smaller one with two bedrooms and two living rooms. Zhou Minghe specially replaced the furniture with new ones and also sent me a classic black and white piano. He said I had learned it before and told me that I could play it when I was in the mood to relieve my boredom.
I was preparing dinner when Zhou Minghe opened the door and walked in. He had a suit hanging on his shoulders and was wearing a white shirt. Maybe because he was young, he seemed to have endless energy. He had been on a business trip for several days and had been flying back and forth, but at this moment, there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
"Have you done my share?" He threw his suit jacket on the sofa and walked into the kitchen to look at me.
"You said you would come back for dinner, so of course I made preparations for you." I was wearing a halter dress and my long hair was tied into a bun. At this moment, my lower abdomen was obviously bulging. It might be because I was pregnant with twins, which would be more obvious than a single baby.
Zhou Minghe suddenly took out a box from his pocket, opened it beside him, and then put a diamond bracelet on my left hand.
"Do you like it? I bought it especially for you." Zhou Minghe leaned lazily against the glass table and said with a smile.
I looked at the bracelet, it was shining brightly, not an ordinary item.
"Why are you buying me another gift?" I was flattered.
"Because I'm in a good mood." Zhou Minghe took the sliced cucumber beside him and put it into his mouth: "We have negotiated the order again this time, this is your reward."
"I didn't go to discuss the project with you." Because I was pregnant, Zhou Minghe didn't let me accompany him on flights.
"I used to reward myself, but now that you're here, all the rewards will belong to you from now on." After Zhou Minghe said this, he went downstairs to his house to take a shower.
I felt a little upset, and looking at the bracelet, I couldn't help but sigh. Since he did this for me, shouldn't I give him some benefits?
After dinner, Zhou Minghe sat on the sofa and opened his laptop to handle work. I cleaned the table and cut a plate of fruit for him.
Zhou Minghe put the notebook aside and looked at me eagerly.
I saw the desire in his eyes, so I gently sat on his lap. Zhou Minghe rubbed my neck and then kissed my lips.
Zhou Minghe didn't know if it was because of work, but his whole aura changed drastically. He gradually became more calm and composed like a man. When it came to kissing, he was also more patient than before.
However, he teased me, lustful and addicted, his fingers on my waist, his voice hoarse: "Jingjing, there are still five months, right? It's so hard."
I shuddered at the sound, and the next second, I panted slightly and said, "How about we try it tonight?"
