"Sister Qiao'er, don't misunderstand. I really have nothing to do with that woman."
"Then why did she suddenly cry? Did you upset her?" She looked at him somewhat disapprovingly. Apparently, she never expected that this good cabbage would end up being taken by Song Qianqian, that "pig".
"Why do you have such bad taste? How could you fall for her?"
She looked at Xia Hankong helplessly, as if lamenting how he could take a fancy to Song Qianqian. At this moment, Xia Hankong really wanted to laugh. It seemed that Qin Qiao'er had misunderstood him. But seeing how serious she was... Could it be that she didn't want him to fall in love with other women?
At this moment, he actually had an illusion: Did Qin Qiao'er like him and was she jealous? Seeing him with Song Qianqian, did she think that he was already with Song Qianqian, so she was persuading him like this?
"Are you jealous?" He tilted his head slightly, looking extremely handsome.
"What? What are you talking nonsense about? I'm not!" Qin Qiao'er was extremely surprised when she heard this, and then quickly denied it.
"How could I be jealous? That's absolutely impossible."
Goodness, she had no idea what was going on in Xia Hankong's head.
"I'm just treating you as a friend, so I'm saying these things to you, okay?" She sighed, put her hands on her hips, and stood straight in front of him.
"I'll be honest with you. I like Zhao Youting. You should be able to tell."
It was so obvious that only a fool couldn't tell. Xia Hankong had already known about their relationship, but this was the first time he heard about the two of them from Qin Qiao'er's mouth.
He paused for a moment, then looked at her affectionately: "But love doesn't care about who comes first. Although he met you first, my love for you is just as deep. Won't you give me a chance?"
His infatuated look gave Qin Qiao'er a headache. She patiently advised him: "It's not about whether I give you a chance or not. My heart is only so big. Besides giving it to my two children, I've also given a little bit to Zhao Youting. Do you think there's still room for you in my heart now? I'm saying these things because I treat you as a friend. I hope you can think it through carefully."
As she was speaking, she suddenly fell silent. She stared straight into his eyes and continued: "Actually, I can tell that you're different from these entertainment industry stars. I'm sure you have your own ideas. You deserve a better girl. So give up on me. I think we're more suitable to be friends."
She had made it so clear. If Xia Hankong continued to pester her, he would seem extremely graceless. But at this moment, he stood there coldly like a statue, letting the cold wind blow on his face. But... it was actually the hottest time of the day.
He just stood there coldly, as if all his vitality had been taken away in an instant. Qin Qiao'er felt a bit heart - ache seeing him like this. But as the saying goes, it's better to make a clean break. If she didn't tell him now, there would surely be more grievances in the future. So she must explain things clearly to him.
"Are... are you okay? I know the words I just said were a bit too much, but they came from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can think it through carefully. Well, I have to go."
She quickly turned around and was about to walk outside, but her steps paused. She saw Xia Hankong reach out his hand and tightly grab her arm, not letting her leave.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't go. Since you've already said those things, I won't be so ungentlemanly as to continue pestering you. However, I'd like to ask you something. Is that okay?"
He gave a bitter smile. The light in his eyes dimmed on his fair and jade - like face. The handsome young man with red lips and white teeth looked extremely melancholy at this moment.
"How did you and Zhao Youting meet? How much earlier did he meet you than I did? What's your current relationship like?"
She didn't expect him to ask about her relationship with Zhao Youting. Some things shouldn't have been told to him, but since it had come to this point, only by telling him about their relationship could she make Xia Hankong completely leave her.
She omitted some unnecessary misunderstandings and only left the general main idea, telling Xia Hankong what had happened.
"So currently, we're inseparable from each other, and we even have children!"
These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Xia Hankong had no choice but to let go now, but he was filled with unwillingness in his heart.
Reluctantly! The woman he loved already had another lover and had even given birth to two children with him. He had come too late...
The hand that was holding Qin Qiao'er slowly let go, just like a falling leaf floating in the air, so decadent and so powerless.
At this moment, where was the energetic look he usually had?
"Don't be like this, Xia Hankong. Please don't be like this. We're still friends. Being friends is good too. And you're my first friend in the entertainment industry. Do you believe that?"
She didn't dare to just leave. Anyway, Xia Hankong had really been good to her during this period, and he had also given her a lot of help in the entertainment industry. So she hoped to continue being friends with him and didn't want Xia Hankong to be depressed because of this.
The worry in her eyes suddenly ignited all his emotions like a match.
He raised his head, showing a pair of beautiful, moist eyes as he looked at her: "Thank you, Sister Qiao'er. But I have one last question. Are you and he married?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiao'er was slightly stunned. Marriage? They had already reached this stage. Actually, whether they got married or not was just a formality.
But every woman had a dream of a beautiful wedding, and she also hoped to have this day.
Zhao Youting had once promised her that he would definitely give her a wedding like no other in the world. But Zhao Youting's parents always seemed a bit dissatisfied with her. So there was still a wall between her and Zhao Youting. That wall was called "social status".
She shook her head bitterly, looked at him, and forced out a sentence from between her lips: "No..."
