"Your pants are not much cheaper online either. And the quality may not be good. If it is not good, it will be troublesome to return the goods, right?"

When I walked into the clothing store, I heard Tang Mengyan's familiar voice. I looked up and saw Tang Mengyan recommending jeans to a male customer, but she didn't notice me.

The male customer seemed not satisfied with his pants and kept saying that the price online could be much cheaper. Tang Mengyan was a little anxious. She kept recommending physical stores. In this era, due to the rise of online stores, physical clothing stores were not easy to do, and many businesses were brought back by a clever mouth.

I kept waiting at the door, waiting until the male customer shook his head and walked out of the store before entering the store, took the jeans from Tang Mengyan's hand, and said:

"I look ok with these pants, why don't you sell them to me?"

Tang Mengyan's face was still a little depressed. When she heard my voice, she was happy first, but she soon frowned again.

"No, no, these pants are suitable for young people, and they are not suitable for an uncle like you." Tang Mengyan said angrily, then folded up her jeans and placed them on the display cabinet without hesitation.

Uncle? Am I that old? I couldn't help but smile in my heart. Tang Mengyan was deliberately mocking me.

Seeing Tang Mengyan's performance, I basically knew her attitude towards me. I grabbed her hand and said:

"I just want to dress younger, can I give it a try?"

"I want to try it but I won't take it myself? Do you want me to take off your pants, uncle?" Tang Mengyan looked at me coldly and suddenly said a sarcastic sentence. The more Tang Mengyan spoke in this tone, the more I felt uncomfortable, because I knew that this only means that the thorn I left in Tang Mengyan's heart had not been removed.

"Mengyan, how are you doing these days?" I hesitated, looking at Tang Mengyan's exquisite face as if she was covered with a layer of ice, and couldn't help asking.

"Why do you say this every time you come?" Tang Mengyan looked at me impatiently and shook my hand away, "Hurry up and buy clothes, don't buy them. I'm so busy."

But I still looked at her. This time, I didn't want her to escape from my sight.

"Mengyan, when I came to the store last time... I heard something about you. You are not married yet, aren't you?" I asked in a stiff voice. When I asked this, I suddenly realized that I had already brought enough courage before, but at this moment, those courage was still far from enough.

Tang Mengyan narrowed her eyes, looked at me like an angry cat, and said with her waist:

"Strange, do you have a stalking habit? It's interesting to ask about other people's affairs behind their backs? Moreover, I have a boyfriend, so don't care!"

"I have also heard about your boyfriend." I looked at Tang Mengyan and said word by word, "He used to be Zhang Yang's friend, right?"

When she mentioned Zhang Yang, Tang Mengyan's face became even more ugly. She even turned around and stopped looking at me.

"Who is my boyfriend? What does it have to do with you? Even if my boyfriend is a pig, it has nothing to do with you, right? Boss... uncle!"

Halfway through the conversation, Tang Mengyan suddenly burped, as if she had remembered something. After pausing, she called out the word "Uncle".

I knew what Tang Mengyan wanted to call me, but when I heard her name to me, I was shocked. Because in the past, when we were still together, she called me boss.

I burst into laughter, Tang Mengyan's face turned red, but her eyes were still full of resentment.

I put away my smile that passed by, stared at her quiet but slightly anxious face in a daze, and said softly:

"Mengyan, let me tell the truth. I came here, not to buy pants. I came here to see you. I am sorry for you... Really, so many years have passed, and the person I have always been the one whom I am most sorry for is you. Give me a chance to get together again, okay? Just like before, it doesn't matter how you call me anyway, it's okay to call me the boss or call my name."

Tang Mengyan was stiffening in place. She pursed her mouth tightly and sucked vigorously, just like a respiratory patient who needed oxygen in urgent need of oxygen.

She looked at me, I looked at her.

It took three seconds.

Then she suddenly laughed.

It's a sneer.

"Be with you? Be with you, your big boss? Haha, I'm sorry, I'm no longer interested in you. I like men who are more exciting, who can give me freshness, like riding bikes, boxing, and those who can fight and run. A big boss like you is not my dish." Tang Mengyan said with her chest, her tone seemed very straight, so straight that it made me feel a little strange. "Also, don't you already have a girlfriend? The one who attended the dance with you last time is so beautiful and gentle, why don't you be with her? Why are you still coming to me? Could it be that she dumped her?"

After hearing this, I finally understood why Tang Mengyan was angry. It turned out that she had always cared about confinement.

A few years ago, Tang Mengyan and Li Ping attended a dance party held by our company. That time, I couldn't find a dance partner, so I forced my confinement to go with me. That time, Tang Mengyan was also present, and she saw it with her own eyes. I still can't forget the lonely back of Tang Mengyan when she left the dance party.

"Oh, the person you mentioned is my sister." I smiled and said, "I couldn't find someone to dance with me that time, so I had to beg her to come together, as to support the scene. Really, my dear sister."

Tang Mengyan raised an eyebrow, as if she had heard a fantasy story, and there was no trace of trust in me on her face. I thought she would look much better when she heard my explanation, but I was wrong. She was still so cold, and the distance between her and me did not even get closer.

"Sister? Haha." Tang Mengyan pouted and smiled, "Did it fall from the sky? Why did I never hear you say when we were together before? She is so beautiful that she can't even buy it. I think it's the prince and the sister?"

Tang Mengyan's mouth is quite sharp, and every word can tell my pain.

Indeed, if I had done blood tests, I would not even believe that confinement will be my sister.

"It's true. If you don't believe it, I can bring you a kinship appraisal certificate." I said.

Tang Mengyan smiled again: "It's said that it's a real sister, and you still have to do a kinship appraisal? I'm afraid that others don't know, right? Did you have this sister you have ever had or were you later?"

"Mengyan, I can't explain this clearly, but she is really my sister. We didn't grow up together since we were young. You know that my parents divorced when I was very young. I was raised by my father, and my sister was raised by my mother. I knew her, and it was after you left, so you didn't know." I grabbed Tang Mengyan's wrist, afraid that she wouldn't listen to me at all, so she turned around and left.

"Take it away." But what Tang Mengyan gave me was still coldly.

I grabbed her hand and stared at her blankly.

"I told you to take your hand away, did you hear it? Are you deaf?" Tang Mengyan shook away my hand holding her wrist and blew the heat hard. She looked at me resentfully and said angrily, "Do you know it? If you touch me again, I will call the security guard, do you believe it or not?"

I looked at Tang Mengyan quietly, and my heart felt like I had been torn apart, and it hurts so much.

"Mengyan, I heard about your boyfriend. He has a bad personality and often spends all his money. Is that true? Do you... really like someone like him?"

When I heard my words, Tang Mengyan's face looked even more ugly, and when I saw her cheeks turned redder.

"What do you mean? You want to say that my boyfriend is not good, are you?" Tang Mengyan said with her mouth, "Then let me tell you, even if Chen Feng is not good, he is a thousand times better than you, ten thousand times better than you!"

Every word from Tang Mengyan was like a nail on my chest, making me heart-wrenching. I felt uncomfortable as if my heart was severely cut by scissors.

Tang Mengyan stared at me tightly, and then squeezed out a sound from the gaps of her teeth word by word and said:

"And... Chen Feng will get engaged to me in a few days. You are late... it's too late."

At the end, I saw that the corners of Tang Mengyan's eyes were slightly red, and I was slightly shocked. From Tang Mengyan's eyes, I suddenly realized that maybe she was not as resistant to me as she said.

I know what I have to do now, but I am not ready for anything now. I come empty-handed and nothing can express my feelings.

Finally, I took a deep breath and did something that I was a little surprised by myself.

I stepped forward and hugged Tang Mengyan suddenly.

As if I was afraid that she would run away, I hugged Tang Mengyan hard and hugged her tightly.

Tang Mengyan struggled like crazy. She slapped me hard, making shocked and anxious screams, and her tone changed.

"What are you doing? Take your hand away! Do you understand if you listen!" Tang Mengyan screamed, pushing my chest hard, trying to push me away from her, but I hugged it too tightly, and I was much stronger than her, so she couldn't push it away.

"Yan Yan, when we were together, you kept saying that you wanted to go to my house to see it, saying, Boss, what is your house like? Are you like those young people, all shameful adult movies and adult magazines? At that time, I just smiled, but I never took you to my house once. Later, when you left, I thought, if you could accompany me at home, how good it would be, if we could come back again... How good it would be... Yan Yan, if you are willing to give me a chance, would you go home with me? If you are willing, it will be your home in the future."

Because of Tang Mengyan's shouting, more and more people rushed over from the surrounding stores, and Tang Mengyan's voice also weakened quickly. I seemed to hear a sob from her voice.

"Go away... Everyone is watching. I'm still at work. Do you want me to be fired?" Tang Mengyan pushed me in a hard voice.

I took a deep breath and said:

"If you fire, just fire. If you fire, I will support you, okay?"

This time, I really felt that Tang Mengyan's body stopped moving, and even the resistance stopped for a while.

Tang Mengyan's voice came into my ears like the rising and falling wind:

"Support me? Forget it, can you afford it... I am a person who has high requirements and is very greedy."

"It's greedy, it's okay if you're greedy. Come back, okay, Yanyan?" I asked in a low voice, hugging Tang Mengyan tightly, fearing that she would flow away from my arms like a stream of water.

"Forget it..." Tang Mengyan's voice sounded again, "Boss, we are not suitable..."

Tang Mengyan raised her head from my arms, with pear blossom-like tears in her eyes. I saw that her eyes had already turned red.

"We have tried it once, we... are not suitable. You are the big boss and the chairman of a big company. I am just a woman who will cause trouble for you. We were not suitable from the beginning... I like passionate, like sports, can always be with me, and stimulate me. It is not a rich and identifiable boss like you... I used to be with you just because I like your money. Boss, you won't really naively think I'm really right

Do you have any feelings? Some things are gone, and I have already felt for you... I have no feeling at all." Tang Mengyan smiled, but tears kept falling, "Don't come to me again, boss, while I'm young, hurry up and find a better woman to get married. I'm about to get married, Chen Feng is already saving money to buy a ring, he said that he will save enough money in the next few days, and at that time, he proposed to me. So don't come to me again, don't come again, come again! Get out!"

Tang Mengyan's last four words were spit out of her mouth one after another. After saying this, she broke free from my arms and looked directly at another clerk who had been stunned in the store. After a few hurried explanations, she used the excuse of being uncomfortable and wiping the tears on her face while running outside the mall.

I stood there blankly, looking at Tang Mengyan's back running away.

It seems that you don't come to me again after writing.

Tang Mengyan walked out of the mall like this. In the end, I still couldn't keep her, nor even say something to her.

Through the clerk who worked with Tang Mengyan in the store, from her intermittent description, I roughly learned about Tang Mengyan’s recent life status.

Just as the store manager who was in the last time said, Tang Mengyan has been doing badly recently. Her current boyfriend is Chen Feng, a man who spends money and misses a lot of money, and he has owed a debt outside. This is something Tang Mengyan only knew about recently, but he has indeed pursued Tang Mengyan for several years, which is also a fact. Among all those who pursue Tang Mengyan, he can be said to be the one who has been chasing the longest. He has been chasing him when Tang Mengyan was still in high school.

I asked the clerk how the relationship between Tang Mengyan and Chen Feng was like. Does Tang Mengyan like him? The clerk said she was not very clear, but said that Tang Mengyan should have accepted it because she had no more choices. Tang Mengyan had been in love several times, but it was not smooth and she had been having a rough job. The clerk also asked me about my relationship with Tang Mengyan, and I just told her that I was Tang Mengyan's ex-boyfriend, but I didn't mention more about more things.

From her words, I learned a fact, that is, Tang Mengyan was not doing well.

When I left the mall, it started to drizzle again. The weather has become colder during this period. It rains from time to time, and there are not many sunny days. When I got home, I did not enter the house, but parked my car at the door, staring at the huge villa in a daze, but the faces of several women appeared in my mind. Xueqi's face, Tang Mengyan's face, as well as the face of confinement, Yuhui's face, each face is so vivid and an indispensable part of my life. They together constitute my life.

Suddenly I heard someone calling me. When I opened the car window, I found that it was my confinement period when I was carrying a plastic bag in the supermarket. When I saw her, I stretched out my head.

"Brother, where did you go just now? Why don't you go home?" Yuezi looked at me in surprise and asked loudly.

"It's nothing, I just want to get wet in the rain. Confinement period, you can sit in too. I have something to say and want to talk to you alone." I looked at Confinement period quietly and said.

Yuezi looked at the frozen food in his hand and looked at me again. Finally, she opened the door of the passenger seat and got into the car.

"Brother, do you have any worries?" Yuezi put away his umbrella, sat in the car with me, and asked me in her usual soft voice.

"During the confinement period, I found that I was in a vicious cycle." I said with a wry smile.

"What do you mean?" Yuezi looked at me, and finally looked at the swaying wipers and asked me. But when he heard the sound, Yuezi was not that surprised, as if he had guessed that I would say that long ago.

"You actually know that, in fact, this game is a dead end." I said with a wry smile, "If you think about this game, Qiqi will have her happiness, but if I am not happy, Qiqi will not be truly happy. But for me... the happiness I want is to be able to be together, so that she will never leave me like she was a child. But in that case... Qiqi cannot be completely happy because she likes Ma Bailong. This game is unsolvable. I just figured this out."

In the confinement period, she folded her hands in front of her knees, quietly staring at the entire world covered by rain, breathing calmly, as if nothing would disturb her, just as she had already known what I said.

The whole world is quiet at this time.

It took a long time before the confinement period let out a long breath, and she whispered:
To be continued...
