&Quot; that’s why I’m not only going to be a Secretary, but I’m also going to play the role of Mrs. Xie and Mumu’s good stepmother. &Quot;
Su lanxu smiled. &Quot; director Xie, you’re asking me to take one person’s salary and do the work of three people! &Quot;
As expected of a capitalist, he was very calculative.
Xie tingxi didn’t deny it. &Quot; that’s why I said that I’ll compensate you when we get divorced. I won’t let you suffer. &Quot;
Su Lan Xu’s thick and curled eyelashes trembled slightly. She was silent for a long time.
Xie tingxi didn’t rush her. He took a sip of his coffee and waited patiently.
This was a big matter, and she needed time to think about it.
“President Xie, thank you for your appreciation.” Su lanxu looked up at him and finally spoke, ” although I don’t think I’ll ever find love in my life, marriage isn’t that important to me. But I think that, compared to being a married couple, it’s better for us to maintain a superior and subordinate relationship. &Quot;
This was a tactful rejection.
Xie tingxi frowned. &Quot; can I know the reason? ”
Could it be that he didn’t explain the financial compensation clearly, and she felt that she had suffered a loss?
Su lanxu was silent for a moment and shook her head. &Quot; there’s no reason. I just feel that our relationship shouldn’t be complicated. &Quot;
Back then, mo shenbai and Youyou got married in a completely unfamiliar relationship, and they fell in love with each other after a long time. However, she and Xie tingxi not only knew each other, but they were also very familiar with each other.
The two of them had signed a contract marriage. If they were to live together in the future, it would only be awkward.
At the very least, she would feel awkward and awkward.
A trace of regret flashed in Xie tingxi’s eyes. He put down the cup and said, &Quot; you don’t have to rush to reply to me. Go back and think about it for a few days. With your father’s current hope, I think he’ll be very happy to see you find a good man. &Quot;
Su lanxu pursed her lips and said nothing.
He took out his wallet, took out some cash, and placed it on the table to pay the bill. When he got up, he said, ” “If you’re worried that I’ll do anything to you, you don’t have to. I’ve never been interested in women. If you have needs in that area, you can do whatever you want as long as you keep a low profile and don’t go too far.”
&Quot; as for financial compensation, I can write you a check. You can fill it out yourself. &Quot;
He was really satisfied with su lanxu as his potential wife and the conditions he offered were exceptionally good.
Su lanxu was speechless.
I know you’re open, but I didn’t expect you to be open to this extent.
......
Su lanxu had seriously and carefully considered Xie tingxi’s suggestion. If she really didn’t plan to get married, it was actually pretty good.
Not only could he let his father pass away with a peace of mind, but he could also avoid being urged to get married in the future and arranged for blind dates.
In the future, she could use this as an excuse to never get married again.
However, it was a little awkward.
There were still some obstacles in her heart that she had not overcome, so she did not reply to Xie tingxi for a long time.
During the day, she would take care of her father in the hospital, and at night, it would be her mother’s turn to accompany him.
Seeing her father’s face getting worse and worse day by day, and his spirit getting worse and worse, she pretended to be fine on the surface, but she was extremely sad in her heart.
He looked for the attending doctor again and again, but the doctor could only sigh helplessly. There was no other way except to change the medicine to suppress the condition.
However, medicine that could suppress the illness would also have strong side effects. Bad appetite, nausea, vomiting, and even insomnia at night.
Mother su pretended to be strong in front of father su and kept comforting him and cheering him on. However, after closing the door of the ward, she stood at the door and couldn’t control her tears.
All her strength was just for father su to see. She didn’t want him to be sick and feel bad, and also feel guilty and worried about her.
Su lanxu stayed in the hospital until late at night. She took a shower and lay on the bed, exhausted. Her mind was in a mess, and she fell asleep in a daze.
In her dream, her father was about to leave. He held her hand and said reluctantly,””The only thing that dad is worried about is you. You still haven’t found someone who can take care of you for the rest of your life. I’m really unwilling to accept this ...”
Su lanxu opened her eyes and felt that the corner of her eyes was cold. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, which were full of tears.
She sat up, crossed her legs, and hugged herself tightly, tears falling silently.
The cool breeze lifted the curtains. It was dark outside the window, and the cool breeze seemed to wake up her muddled mind. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. 01;30?
Based on her understanding of him, he was definitely not resting.
She sniffled, wiped her tears, and dialed a number. She placed the phone next to her ear, and a man’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, ” Hello ... &Quot;
&Quot; director Xie, I’ve considered your previous proposal. &Quot;
Xie tingxi didn’t say anything.
“I agree to your proposal. Let’s get married.”
Compared to the obstacles and awkwardness in her heart, she would rather let her father leave in peace.
&Quot; then I’ll visit your parents tomorrow. What do your parents like? ” Acting was a piece of cake for Xie tingxi. It wasn’t difficult at all.
&Quot; no need. Get the lawyer to finish the prenuptial agreement in the morning. We’ll register our marriage in the afternoon. &Quot; If his parents knew about this beforehand, they would definitely think that he was doing this to make them feel at ease.
Since he had to do it, he would act first and report later.
“Alright,” he said. Xie tingxi agreed very quickly.
&Quot; also ... &Quot; su lanxu sniffed. &Quot; my father’s health isn’t good, so I don’t want to have a wedding. &Quot;
“Sure, I don’t want to waste time on this.”
Su lanxu fell silent for a moment. She didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Xie tingxi was a very considerate person. He took the initiative to say, ” “Then I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”
&Quot; no, I’ll go there myself. I’ll send you a message before I leave. &Quot;
“Alright, see you in the afternoon.”
“See you in the afternoon.”
Su lanxu hung up after she finished speaking. She put down her phone and looked out of the window at the dark sky. Her heart was heavier than the night.
It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
......
Su lanxu did not sleep for the entire night. In the morning, her mother called her and told her not to go to the hospital. She wanted to spend more time with her father.
Su lanxu happened to have some time to catch up on her sleep. She didn’t eat much of the lunch that the Auntie made. She changed into a white shirt and a red hip-hugging skirt before going out.
Before he drove, he sent a message to Xie tingxi.
Xie tingxi’s reply came very quickly. He was already on his way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Su lanxu put down her phone and leaned back on the seat. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. When she opened her eyes, her gaze was determined, as if she had made up her mind.
He would not turn back, nor would he regret it.
Halfway through the car, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned.
On the screen, there were three words: .
She didn’t pick up the call until it hung up automatically.
Before she could heave a sigh of relief, the phone rang again and again, as if it would not stop until she was willing to answer.
Su lanxu picked up her phone, turned it off, and threw it on the passenger seat.
