The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain

Chapter 123: Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(12)

World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(12)

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Xue Xue did not answer Xie Conglu's question, but just watched the other party's face suddenly turn pale.

"I don't have any malicious intent, I'm making this clear to you first." Xue Xue stood gracefully and casually. "I heard you and your boss… let's pretend it's the boss, I heard the conversation between the two of you."

"You need money urgently, right? It just so happens that I have money."

Xue Xue coughed a little uncomfortably after saying this.

Although she was not from a rich family, Xue Ning has been a person with low material desires since she was a child. From the pocket money for the New Year's Eve when she was a child to the year-end salary when she grew up, most of them were saved, and she designed a few pieces for Gao Changze brand. All her works were popular, and her account has grown considerably just because of the commissions.

She didn't like to spend money and was able to save money, so the cumulative amount was not small.

Moreover, Xue Niande and Lin Ying always liked to put money into their daughter's account, and this did not change even after the birth of her younger brother Xue Chen.

In their opinion, daughters should be pampered and raised in wealth, and it was always good to have money on hand whether they marry or not in the future.

Therefore, although it has not been confirmed with her own eyes, Xue Xue still has a certain degree of confidence in the depth of her wallet.

"I can lend you money."

She said bluntly, and her eyes never left Xie Conglu.

The man stared at her with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if to see through her true inner thoughts.

There is no free lunch in the world. If there is, it must be fraud.

This was the most valuable lesson that society has taught Xie Conglu.

Xue Xue didn't know what Xie Conglu was thinking, but just let the other party look at her generously.

After a long while, Xie Conglu quietly refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

Xue Xue felt that Xie Conglu's reaction was normal, and even more elegant than she expected. After all, if the roles were switched and it was her who faced such a thing from Xie Conglu, even if he didn't say bad things, she would definitely feel that the other party was either crazy or has ulterior motives.

But Xie Conglu's expression didn't change from beginning to end except that his voice was a little colder.

There was no doubt that he was a man with a good upbringing.

However, Xue Xue also did not intend to give up.

Instead of taking out her business card, she took out a blank notebook from her bag that she can use whenever inspirations comes, tore off a page, and then took out a pen to write on it quickly.

Her name.

And phone number.

She handed the paper to Xie Conglu.

Xie Conglu didn't even look at it, still staring at Xue Xue with those dark eyes.

Xue Xue thought it was very interesting.

She has always considered herself to be very good at reading people. This was not an innate ability, but since she could remember, she seemed to be used to observing people's inner activities at all times and then making predictions. The experience accumulated over a long period of time to now, it couldn't be said to be perfectly correct but she could guess eight or nine close to ten.

Among them, her favorite was to look into a person's heart through the eyes, called the window of the soul.

This was the easiest place to reveal secrets, commonly known as weakness.

No matter how good they are at acting, few people can completely hide the emotions in their eyes.

However, this time Xue Xue found that she could not see through Xie Conglu.

The other party gave her a hazy feeling that even if he was standing in front of her, he was still far away.

Xue Xue lowered her eyelids.

Well, if she can't see it, she can't see it.

At least she was sure that Xie Conglu would accept it.

The man did not disappoint.

After a short stalemate, Xie Conglu really reached out and took the paper in Xue Xue's hand, but he didn't take a look at it, but directly rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket, then turned and left.

Xue Xue thought that they should be meeting again soon.

So there was no need to say goodbye.

"Xi Lang?"

"No, we've both divorced. Why does it matter?"

"Well, don't worry, didn't they say good horses don't turn around and graze the same patch again? I understand the truth." Xue Xue clamped the mobile phone to the side of her ear and softened her voice. "I know, I only meet when the company has business dealings with him recently, but it's not a project I'm in charge of, so don't worry about it."

[T/N: 好马不吃回头草 (hǎomǎbùchīhuítóucǎo) : a good horse doesn't turn around and graze the same patch again (idiom) / fig. once you've moved on, don't go back again (romantic relationship, job etc)/ leave the past behind ]

"Okay, I'll go home this holiday if I can."

"Well, you take care too, and help me say hello to Dad and Chenchen."

"I love you, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone with her mother, Xue Xue smiled apologetically at Gao Qiqi, and the two continued to discuss next week's itinerary and plans.

By the time everything was over, it was time for get off work.

Seeing that Xue Xue was also starting to pack her things, Gao Qiqi, who was so hungry, decided to take the initiative to make an invitation.

"Sister Xue, do you want to have dinner together? I know a newly opened curry pork chop restaurant that serves very deliciously."

"Ah?" Seeing Gao Qiqi looking at her with anticipation, Xue Xue thought that there was nothing in the evening and nodded briefly afterwards. "Okay, anyway…"

Before she could finish speaking, the phone rang.

"Sorry, wait a moment."

Xue Xue motioned to Gao Qiqi, got up and walked out.

Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, she picked it up directly.

"Hello?"

Gao Qiqi didn't expect Xue Xue to finish the phone so quickly.

She was still checking on the Internet to make an appointment.

"Sister Xue, I think…"

"I'm sorry Qiqi, I suddenly have something to do. I may not be able to go to dinner with you today." Xue Xue folded her palms together and made an apologetic gesture. "Shall I treat you to dinner another day?"

"Ah? Oh, well, of course, of course it doesn't matter." Although the rare opportunity to eat with her idol failed, which disappointed Gao Qiqi, she soon cheered up. "Actually, I haven't eaten there yet, so I'll go to explore first. I don't know if that restaurant is really as good as my friend said…"

"Yes."

"Sister Xue, we have an appointment this way. "

"Okay."

Looking at Gao Qiqi's sparkling eyes, Xue Xue smiled gently.
