The tenderness in Zhou Shaoting's eyes disappeared immediately, and was taken over by indifference again, "There is no such thing as an if in this world, and you shouldn't use your own child like this."
Sun Xiaonan almost wanted to laugh, he would have an illusion about this heartless and heartless man.
"Yeah, I'm not a good person." She said self-destructively, her eyes sharpened sharply, "But you are not a good person either! Even if I go to hell, I will take you with me!"
Zhou Shaoting looked at her indifferently. In the eyes of others, this woman may be as rational as a man, but in front of him, she is often hysterical.
"Sun Xiaonan, I always thought you were smart, and smart people wouldn't do such stupid things." Zhou Shaoting loosened his fist, and tapped his slender fingers on the table, "It's not good for you at all, take a step back , maybe there is still a way out.¡±
Sun Xiaonan leaned back in the chair, smiled indifferently, "I have nowhere to go. Do you know? Ever since I saw you at the high school celebration, I never thought about quitting."
Her gaze seemed to penetrate Zhou Shaoting's body, reflecting another image in her heart.
At that time, they were still very young, and it was the time when they were full of energy. She, who was studying abroad, and Zhou Shaoting, who was studying at a top domestic university, were both invited as representatives of outstanding graduates to return to their alma mater to attend the celebration ceremony. Zhou Shaoting was even elected as a role model and spoke on stage.
Sitting under the stage, she looked at the boys in the neighboring class she had secretly compared with and were not convinced in various ways, the tall boy who stole the limelight at school and didn't look sideways at girls, the unruly and angular parent's family friend. son. Now standing on the stage with a compelling look, talking eloquently, handsome and outstanding, exuding the charm of an elite man.
For the first time, her proud heart had a feeling of being conquered, and for the first time, she also had a little desire for a opposite sex.
At the school celebration dinner, she took the initiative to talk to him, but Zhou Shaoting's attitude was obviously not enthusiastic enough, and she didn't bother to express it. For a long time after that, they still lived their own lives without intersecting each other.
However, since that sudden reunion, she, Sun Xiaonan, could no longer see other men in her eyes.
Since she was a child, there was nothing she could not get. Although her parents divorced, they were very satisfied with her, so she never had any persistent thoughts.
But this time, she longed from the bottom of her heart to one day become a woman standing beside Zhou Shaoting, shining brightly with him, like a pair of dazzling stars in the sky, receiving people's attention and attention.
Desire has arisen, and there is no more freedom.
The turning point came many years later, when she had already settled in the United States, commuting between New York and Shanghai all the year round.
Once when I was back in Shanghai for a short stay, Zhu Ping, a good friend of my mother who had been neglected in recent years, suddenly visited her and praised her very much. Recalling the jokes she and Zhou Shaoting used to make when they were teenagers, the two families were very emotional, and proposed to find an opportunity Let them meet and talk.
The implication is very obvious, that is to match the two of them.
Although her mother, Xiao Meiyun, reminded her many times afterwards that Zhu Ping had ulterior motives and that the Zhou family's business was at stake, she did not listen at all.
At this point, the spark of desire that had been ignited finally turned into a prairie fire, burning away all her reason, pride and reserve. But she believes that she is not a stupid moth, but a flamingo reborn from the ashes. The scorching flame dances and dances for her, and will eventually light up a splendid world.
However, now she feels more and more that she has always been that moth, insignificant but self-righteous, sad and pitiful.
And the people she once rushed at desperately, the people she once wanted to use the fire of young life to burn warm people, but she always stayed out of it, and calmly advised her: "Take a step back, maybe there is still a way out."
But where is she going to retreat?
For ten years, she used a woman's best time as a bet to bet on a result that was never expected in the game, and she was destined to lose everything¡ªlove, marriage, career, everything she was once proud of, Now it has become her fatal pain, untouchable, unspeakable, and also, the unborn child.
So, she can't give up, she has no way out. If you don't want to lose, you have to change the rules.
Sun Xiaonan's gaze gradually became firm, as if he was ready to put all his eggs in one basket.
Zhou Shaoting saw it in his eyes, and felt a little helpless in his heart. When Sun Xiaonan talked about the persistent and calm expression when he was young, it also somewhat affected his own simple and flying time.
Can't go back, none of them can go back, Zhou Shaoting hardened his heart, and said with some sincerity: "Xiao Nan, you can't change any results by pestering like this. You know, you can only delay your own painful time."
"Then procrastinate." Sun Xiaonan has made up her mind, and her attitude is even firmer, "Anyway, everyone is suffering together, and the people around you, don't think about any of them!" She raised her slender eyes and looked at Zhou Shaoting, like It's a threat, and it's like a curse, "You treat a woman who has lived with you for three years like this, a woman who loves you, so disregarding your own flesh and blood, Zhou Shaoting, you will be punished!"
Zhou Shaoting's eyes were dark, as if he had thought of something, he said slowly: "I have already suffered a lot of retribution."
After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes to look at Sun Xiaonan again, solemnly, with oppression, "Just one thing I have to tell you clearly. I don't want to involve other innocent people in this matter, this is my bottom line .If you, or anyone else touches it, I won't tell the rules."
The implication is obvious, he is protecting someone and spares no effort.
Sun Xiaonan was heartbroken, and didn't know how to respond for a while, her eyes were confused for a moment, and finally she laughed, "Okay, it's absolutely fine, Zhou Shaoting, I really want to see how you will not play by the rules." Her eyes were full of disappointment , asked unwillingly: "We have known each other since we were young, and our parents are also considered friends. Do you not cherish such a relationship at all?"
Zhou Shaoting looked away, looked out the window indifferently, and said calmly: "If there was any one in your family who talked about feelings when my father's business was in trouble, then you and I would not be in the situation we are today."
Sun Xiaonan was stunned, she knew something about the situation of the Zhou family and the attitude of her parents at that time, but she never took it to heart. She always felt that it was understandable to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages in business, but she never expected that Zhou Shaoting's hatred would be so deep. But why has he never mentioned it to himself all these years? As a result, she has always firmly believed that Zhou Shaoting owed herself from the beginning to the end. If this account is counted, among them, who owes whom first?
However, Zhou Shaoting had no intention of settling accounts with her anymore, took the windbreaker that was put on the side, stood up long, and was about to leave.
Sun Xiaonan was still sitting in the chair, his eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't respond to him leaving, and asked to himself: "When did we become like this?"
Zhou Shaoting answered irrelevant questions, put on a windbreaker and said: "You know my conditions, you should think about it." He paused, "Also, I don't want you to disturb my family often, if there is anything, You can find me at the company, or make an appointment outside."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left. There was a table full of untouched dishes, and a lifeless woman beside the table.
Zhou Shaoting drove back to the villa shaded by phoenix trees, and saw the light in the living room on the first floor from a distance, and felt infinitely at ease.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Shi curled up on the sofa, reading a book. The long, silky hair hangs loose naturally. She should have just taken a shower, and the hair looks a little wet. She is wearing loose home clothes, revealing her fair neck, fresh and graceful.
Like a drop of sweet nectar falling on his heart, all the annoyances in Zhou Shaoting's heart overnight were soaked and slowly became invisible.
As soon as Xiaoshi saw Zhou Shaoting came back, he seemed to be relieved, his expression brightened, he put down his book and ran to his side, and obediently helped him take out his slippers.
She leaned over, and Zhou Shaoting touched her head. Seeing her bare feet stretched on the slippers, with a few slender toes protruding from the front, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "Didn't I tell you, it's cold at home. Do you want to wear socks?"
Xiaoshi straightened up, as if she was suddenly moved, and threw herself into his arms without any explanation, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly.
The man's waist was round and strong, Xiaoshi's arms were filled to the brim, and he finally felt at ease in his heart. She buried her face in Zhou Shaoting's chest, his windbreaker was open, and Xiao Shi's cheek was pressed against his cashmere vest, warm and soft, her heart seemed to fall into a ball of cotton, and she didn't want to crawl out again.
An indescribable sense of happiness flowed in Zhou Shaoting's heart, but at the same time, he felt that Xiaoshi's initiative and attachment was a bit abnormal.
He put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and asked softly, "Yanyan, what's wrong?"
Xiaoshi didn't answer, but still hugged him motionlessly, pressing her face closer.
Zhou Shaoting was even more sure that she had something on her mind, so he tried to push her away a little to look at her face, but Xiaoshi struggled a bit, and refused to leave his arms.
Xiaoshi's arm was stretched, just touching the sensitive part of Zhou Shaoting's waist, causing him to laugh lowly. With pampering and connivance, he clasped the girl's dishonest little hands back with both hands, and finally stripped her from his arms. down.
Xiaoshi pursed her lips slightly, as if she had something to say, but also seemed unwilling.
Zhou Shaoting thought she was just lonely at home and thinking wildly, so he pinched the tip of her small nose, and said dotingly: "Little thing, you came here to keep warm when you were full. I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry."
Xiaoshi was surprised. He thought that when he came back at this time, he must have had dinner with someone, but unexpectedly, his stomach was still empty. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)I peeled it off from my arms.
