At that time, there was an earthquake in their hometown, and Qiao Xunxun and his younger brother lost their parents very early. Even though the old lady later treated them well, they were not related by blood after all, and life in the Qiao family was always like walking on thin ice.

In addition, her younger brother Qiao Ye loved to get into trouble since he was a child. Qiao Xunxun took care of his younger brother since he was a child. He was forced to grow up by life and matured earlier than his peers. However, in his heart, he always longed to be loved and have a pair of shoulders to rely on.

I remember that the day she first met Qi Shengyuan, Qi You was also present. At that time, this little girl was just a little girl who had just entered middle school, and she was just a college graduate who entered the Qiao family with the title of adopted daughter of the Qiao family.

.

Mr. Qiao and Sheng Yuan had a social event that day, and Qi Shengyuan was worried that his daughter would be alone at home at night, so he brought her to have dinner with him.

Qiao Xunxun still remembers how Qi Shengyuan took care of little Qiyou at that dinner party. It was that kind of meticulous care that moved her, and she felt that he must be a good man who is particularly good at doting on others.

Seeing that she had finished speaking, Qi You was surprised: "I dare you to seek father's love?"

Qiao Xunxun: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Some people teach you to be gentle, some people teach you to be mature, but those who truly love you will only make you a child again.' Do you understand what this is called happiness?"

【Note 1】

Someone who truly loves you will just let you be a kid again...

I don’t know why, but when she heard this, Qiao Youyan’s face flashed in Qiyou’s mind unconsciously, thinking of how kind he was to her during this period, didn’t he spoil her like a useless little baby?

She thought for a while and then asked: "In all these years, have you really never thought about having another child with my father?"

Isn't it like this in TV dramas? Mother is more valuable than her son, so she marries into a wealthy family and gives birth to a son and then competes for the family property.

Qiao Xunxun snorted, "I'm Dink, okay. Taking care of Qiao Ye since I was a child has been enough to give me a headache. I've finally enjoyed my happiness, so why would I torture myself by having a child? Let your brother inherit the throne of your family.

, I won’t get involved blindly.”

When his parents died, Qiao Ye was still very young, and Qiao Xunxun was much older than him. He had worried about him a lot since he was a child. He had already experienced the hard work of being a father and a mother at a young age, and it was really scary.

Qi You said "Oh" and didn't know what to say.

Maybe she looked at people with colored glasses in the past, but her little stepmother is actually not as bad as she thought.

It's even quite personal.

On the other side, Bei Rui, who was eating instant noodles at home to satisfy her hunger, suddenly received news from Vice President Zhang, saying that Qiao Yanyan had a bureau in a private club, and the boss of the partner was an elderly man. He went to drink extravagantly, and after a party,

The words to persuade him to drink were Hua, and he pulled Qiao Chunyan to drink with him from beginning to end.

This partner had some friendship with Qiao Zongming in the past years. Qiao Chunyan couldn't bear to be cold-faced, so she had to drink half a bottle of liquor with him. She was already tipsy, so Vice President Zhang asked Bei Rui to rush over and act according to the situation.

The night breeze was slightly cool. Standing at the door of the private club, Bei Rui shivered unconsciously and folded her arms.

Afraid that Qiao Chunyan would leave early, she hurried over after receiving the call. Thinking of what might happen in the evening, before going out, she deliberately put on the most expensive suspender skirt in the wardrobe, and wore an early autumn sweater jacket with a long

Her hair is spread over her shoulders, and there is a little bit of sexiness hidden in her gentleness. At first glance, she looks very much like Qi You's usual style.

She was assigned to the CEO's office for more than a few months, and everyone in the office guarded her like a thief. Important documents never passed through her hands, and all she was given to deal with were insignificant and trivial matters, even though she was only one door away from Qiao Chunyan every day.

, she didn't find a chance to get even close to him.

Qiao Chunyan seemed to have deliberately forgotten that she existed in the CEO's office, and he never even looked at her once.

Vice President Zhang learned that there was no progress on her side and had lost her temper many times. If she continued like this, she would not only lose what she wanted, but also become an abandoned child.

This opportunity today is very important to her and she must seize it firmly.

After standing at the door of the club for more than half an hour, I finally waited until a group of men in suits and ties came out of the elevator.

Some of them were so drunk that they were staggering around, talking nonsense while holding hands. Qiao Chunyan walked at the back, and his slender figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

He also drank a lot of wine, and his face was slightly flushed, but he had excellent self-control, and even when he was drunk, he looked polite and dignified, so that no one would find out.

Luxury cars drove up to the door one by one. When the last drunk collaborator was helped into the car by his assistant, Qiao Yanyan pressed his eyebrows and called Lu Chaobang.

"Mr. Qiao."

A gentle female voice sounded from the front right. Qiao Chunyan paused briefly and raised his eyes slightly.

When he was very drunk, his vision also had a double vision. The woman in front of him looked a lot like his little wife from her voice to her dress style. He slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at her with his dark eyes.

But with just one glance, Qiao Chunyan knew that she was not Qiyou. She was far inferior to his little wife in appearance and figure.

He frowned, "Why are you here?"

"Sister Kou Man asked me to deliver a document to you."

Seeing Qiao Chunyan's suspicious eyes, Bei Rui quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Qiao, are you okay? I think you are drunk. I brought you sobering pills. Do you want to take one?"

As she spoke, she took out the pills she had prepared in advance from her bag. There were a few incomprehensible Korean words printed on the light yellow packaging.

Qiao Chunyan lowered his eyes and looked back lightly, "No need."

Bei Rui's hand froze in mid-air. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and put the pills back into her bag.

She took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say, "Mr. Qiao, actually I don't mean anything else, I just want to care."

"Maybe you don't know that I have been paying attention to you a long time ago, long before the graduation show. At that time, I didn't know that you were Qi You's fiancé, but I couldn't control myself. I knew I shouldn't be right

You are tempted, and I know that none of my colleagues in the president's office like me, but I just want to be closer to you, so I can look at you every day, that's all."

As she spoke, she slowly took Qiao Yanyan's arm, tears welling up in her eyes, looking innocent and harmless.

Qiao Chunyan lowered his eyes and glanced at her glued hands with disdain.

He chuckled, "I feel ashamed that Qi You has a classmate like you."

Bei Rui was stunned, "What...what do you mean?"
