Volume 1 Falling in love is easy

Chapter 1 Wedding invitation from ex and best friend

In the afternoon, the sunshine is very warm, but a bit dazzling. The pot of Chlorophytum outside the window is growing lush and green. The breeze blows, and the leaves make a "rustling" sound. The sunlight shines on the leaves, making them shiny green.

Looking at this pot of spider plant, Qiao Xinwei couldn't help but think of the man who gave her the spider plant, the man who walked hand in hand with her through three years of high school and four years of college. She originally planned to get married after graduation, but they broke up not long ago.

The office of the Planning Department of Yuanda Group was quiet. Some colleagues had not come back yet, and some were lying on their desks to take a nap. Who would have thought that a week ago, in this office, a scene of bitter love was staged.

A good show of apology.

Now, everything is as calm as if nothing happened.

Colleague Yun Qing gently knocked on Qiao Xinwei's desk, and two soft "tuk-duk" sounds brought her back from her bad thoughts.

Yun Qing handed over a courier and said in a low voice: "Don't be dazed. Here, this is your courier. I signed for it as soon as I passed the delivery room."

Qiao Xinwei gratefully accepted the courier. She thought it was important information sent by the customer, "Thank you, I'm waiting for the courier."

A sharp utility knife cut open the thick express paper bag, and Qiao Xinwei calmly took out the document inside. No, to be precise, it was an invitation, a big red wedding invitation with the words "Double Happiness" printed on it.

She held her breath, as if she had forgotten her heartbeat, and opened the invitation with trembling hands. The names of the two people were clearly written on it - the groom Ji Xiaohai and the bride Sun Rongxuan.

Groom Ji Xiaohai, bride Sun Rongxuan, haha, one is the man she has been dating for seven years, and the other is her best friend.

Yun Qing also saw the dazzling red color, and she cursed: "This couple has the nerve to send you an invitation!"

In the quiet office, Yun Qing's suddenly amplified voice seemed extremely loud, and colleagues who were taking a nap were also startled awake.

The unhealed wound suddenly opened a new wound without Qiao Xinwei's defense, and the long-suppressed sadness flowed out continuously. Before she could clean up the mess, they sent a wedding invitation.

post.

For a week, she didn't even have enough time to lick her wounds.

This speed is too fast.

Yun Qing took the invitation angrily, tore it in half with two "scratching" sounds, and threw it into the trash can without mercy, "Xinwei, these bitches did this on purpose, don't pay attention to it."

"I...I'm fine..." She said tremblingly that I'm fine, but she couldn't help but shed tears. She got up in a panic and ran towards the bathroom. She didn't want to expose her wounds in public, let alone

Once again, I faced the sympathetic and pitiful eyes of my colleagues.

From high school to college, and then to finding a job together after graduation, she and Ji Xiaohai had been together. She thought she would never be separated from this man again in her life.

But just as she was happily preparing for the wedding and waiting to become Xiaohai's bride, an indisputable and ugly fact was laid before her eyes. She never thought that her boyfriend, whom she had trusted for seven years, would actually be with her.

Her best friend slept with her while she was working overtime. She never thought that such a bloody thing would happen to her. She believed in Ji Xiaohai so much.

"Xinwei, I'm sorry for you. Everything is my fault. Rong Xuan is pregnant. I must be responsible for her." Ji Xiaohai's confession is still fresh in his ears. A week ago, it was here that Ji Xiaohai pulled

Sun Rongxuan knelt in front of her and begged for forgiveness. In front of all her colleagues and company leaders, they knelt in front of her with tears in their eyes.

She turned on the faucet, took the water with both hands and splashed it on her face three times. The cool water covered her tears, but it could not cover her inner sorrow.

The best seven years of youth were only exchanged for a word of sorry.

After that day, Ji Xiaohai and Sun Rongxuan left the company, but she stayed despite all the doubts and pity because the leader trusted her and because the project she just took over had not yet been completed.

She could only comfort herself like this, who didn't fall in love with a few scumbags when they were young?!

It was at this time that she suddenly realized that women should know how to love themselves more.

After tightening the faucet, she raised her head, and suddenly there was a strange and majestic man in front of her. He was standing behind her and staring at her. She was startled, turned back suddenly, and stammered: "Mr.

What's the matter?"

This man is taller than he looks in the mirror, probably over 1.8 meters. His sharp eyes are like two sharp knives. His innate majesty is suffocating, and his stiff expression at this moment reveals great curiosity.

Qiao Xinwei didn't dare challenge such authority, and she really didn't know this person. She had worked here for nearly half a year, and she had never seen such a black-faced man who was more serious and scary than her boss Ruan Bin.

"Is something wrong?" she asked again. It was just a woman crying in the bathroom, so she shouldn't be so curious.

The man put away his curious eyes and went to wash his hands at the sink next door without saying a word.

Qiao Xinwei looked at the man suspiciously. Putting aside his unkind expression, in terms of his image alone, he was definitely a hot commodity in the office. I am afraid that even if he searched the entire Yuanda Group, he would not be able to find a handsome guy who could compare with him.

.If his facial features had not been under the knife, they would really be regarded as the miraculous workmanship of the creator. Viewed from the side, the full forehead, high bridge of the nose, deep eyes, and even the proportions of the lips and chin are comparable.

Called perfect.

Seeing that he was silent, Qiao Xinwei asked again: "Sir, are you new here?" She reminded kindly, "You went to the wrong place, this is the women's toilet, but it doesn't matter if you went to the wrong place on the first day.

It’s good to be familiar with it.”

The man indifferently took out a tissue and wiped his hands while saying, "Miss, you must have gone to the wrong place. This is the men's restroom."

"Um...men's room?" Qiao Xinwei's heart was filled with ten thousand mud horses galloping past. She didn't forget that she was sobbing like a madman while throwing herself into the water. She thought there was no one in the toilet, so she turned around and looked in the mirror numbly.

In the mirror, her hair and clothes were wet, her makeup was smudged, and her dark eyeliner was smeared. What's more terrible is that her image only highlighted the man standing next to her, who looked like a "

"Beauty and the Beast" scene.

Shame and embarrassment are not enough to describe Qiao Xinwei's embarrassment at the moment. After all, she has been working here for so long, and she even goes to the wrong bathroom.

The pain in her heart had not faded away, and the shame in front of her made her even more embarrassed. She quickly took out a few tissues to wipe her hands, covered her face, and ran away.

Chapter 2 Unsuccessful blind date

three months later

On a weekend morning, the sun was shining brightly. Qiao Xinwei, who was greedy for bed, was woken up by a disturbing knock on the door. Her mother Xiang Ling's urging voice sounded outside the door: "Xinwei, wake up quickly, your aunt is calling.

, we have to hurry, we can’t be late for our first meeting, get up quickly, do you hear me?”

Qiao Xinwei frowned, opened her eyes and saw the dazzling sunlight outside the window, she responded impatiently, "Oh."

While I was brushing my teeth, my phone suddenly rang, "Hey, I just got up, what's going on?"

"Xinwei, are you having another blind date today?" Yun Qing asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Nonsense, let's get to the point. I'm brushing my teeth."

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to tell you first. If your blind date doesn't succeed this time, I have someone here who is my husband's younger brother, an orthodox soldier, and tall, rich and handsome. He will definitely be your match."

Qiao Xinwei spat out the mouthwash in her mouth and asked jokingly: "Does a rich, handsome man still need to go on a blind date? He has already hugged his teenage sister and had fun. And he is also a soldier. It sounds so far away. This is

Another person’s village is not mine.”

"He has just been transferred back from abroad for three months and has been going on blind dates. He is busy at home but unwilling to give in. He is also busy at work and has not found a partner yet. I only found out when I accidentally heard my husband talking on the phone.

Yes, I thought of you the first time, how can I treat you?"

"Okay, great, I even have a spare tire for blind dates." Her mother's urging voice came from outside the door again, and she had to end the call early, "Yunqing, I won't tell you anymore, my mother is calling me

.”

"Well, I wish you a unsuccessful blind date this time, haha."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xinwei's heart was not disturbed at all. The term tall, rich and handsome has become a joke in the past three months. She did not dare to have any expectations for the man she was about to meet, because experience told her that,

More expectation, more disappointment.

Before going out, Xiang Ling hurriedly picked up a small red bag sewn with gold thread from the dining table, "Xinwei, Xinwei, why are you so careless? You even forgot to bring this. I told you to take it."

I brought it with me. I went to the master specifically to ask for it. It will bring good luck in marriage. This meeting will definitely make it happen."

"Mom, this is all superstition, do you believe it too?"

"I know it's superstitious, but you can't find anything that satisfies you. I'm worried. I'm asking for it because I have no other choice."

"I'm only twenty-three years old. There are so many opportunities. Why are you in such a hurry?!" She said this, but she still put the red bag into her bag. "It's okay. If you don't go out, you'll be fine."

late."

"Yes, yes, you can't be late for our first meeting. Let's go quickly."

The mother and daughter went out in a hurry.

The man sitting opposite Qiao Xinwei in the restaurant was the person she was going on a blind date with today, and was introduced by her aunt.

Qiao Xinwei stared blankly at the other person's hair. It was clearly Mediterranean. Did he think that by growing the hair on both sides to cover the middle, others wouldn't be able to tell that he had no hair in the middle of his head? But out of politeness, her eyes only

He only stayed on the other person's head for ten seconds.

"Sister Wang, this is my sister-in-law. This is my sister-in-law's daughter. Her name is Qiao Xinwei. She is only twenty-three years old this year. She has just graduated from college and is working at Yuanda. She may have done it. Look, she is quiet and well-behaved. Look.

Look at the skin, it's smooth and tender, so it's a good one." This aunt who never admitted that Xinwei was her niece introduced her as if she was selling a new product.

"Sister-in-law, this is Sister Wang and her son Guo Hao." The aunt smiled and her tone was extremely flattering. She emphasized, "Guo Hao is the deputy director of our municipal transportation bureau. He is successful in his career and mature and stable."

Xiang Ling said politely: "Haha, look at Mr. Guo's age... I would like to ask, Mr. Guo is more generous today?"

"Thirty-nine years old."

"Thirty-nine?..." Xiang Ling said euphemistically, "This is a bit bigger than my Xinwei."

"Hey, sister-in-law, this is because you are short-sighted. A man has a lot of money, and he will take care of others when he is older. Besides, Guo Hao also delayed his marriage for his own career. Otherwise, how could we still get our turn?

.”

Qiao Xinwei silently thought to herself: I'm sorry, I got a big deal. This bald uncle, you are sixteen years older than me, but you have the nerve to come see me? You are definitely not my friend.

Guo Hao didn't speak, but his mother spoke first. She was quite proud of her son, "Yes, my son has been sensible since he was a child. He bought a house and a car by his own ability, without relying on his family for a penny.

Now we have everything but a wife. However, we ordinary girls look down on it. Marrying a wife is a lifelong matter, and you must choose carefully. Miss Qiao, it is a good thing for young people to be capable, but it is better for a woman to do well than to marry

Okay, if you get married in the future, are you willing to resign and stay at home to take care of my son wholeheartedly?"

Qiao Xinwei was speechless. It was a bad start today. She unexpectedly met such a pair of excellent mother and son who felt very good about themselves. Xiang Ling patted her daughter's hand under the table. She endured it very hard not to talk back in person, but her tone was not good either.

Where to go, "Sorry Aunt Wang, not to mention that I have just started working and have no financial foundation. Even if I am inactive for the rest of my life, I will not give up my career because of my family."

Her tone made Aunt Wang's face immediately turn from sunny to gloomy, and the subsequent chat became extremely awkward.

After sitting there for only twenty minutes, Aunt Wang took Guo Hao away. This thirty-nine-year-old deputy director of the Transportation Bureau did not say a word from the beginning to the end. He should do whatever the hell he said.

, um, yes, oh, there is no fourth word in the whole scene.

The aunt began to complain, "Xinwei, don't be so picky. Guo Hao has a house, a car and status. You don't have to worry about anything when you get married. With your conditions, why are you picky? Don't think that you are young and a woman's youth is

After so many years, once you are over twenty-five, others will pick you."
